Mortal Bones

"Taiping, this is the list of all the monks who have been on the eighth floor of Xuanhuang Tower in the past three years. Please keep it."

Qingxuan Sect, in the main conference hall of the main peak, Zhao Qian, the leader, handed a jade slip to Xu Taiping.

"It's time to help you, the boss."

Xu Taiping took the jade slip with both hands.

He only used his spiritual sense to sense it, and the faces with names in the jade slips appeared in his mind.

Among these faces, there is the second senior brother Dugu Xiangxiang, as well as the senior sisters Jiang Zhi and Zhao Linglong.

"Brothers and sisters, they all reached the eighth floor."

Xu Taiping smiled bitterly.

"well……"

The leader Zhao Qian sighed, then waved his hand and said:

"Everyone has their own destiny. Since they insist on taking risks to seek opportunities, I can't stop them."

Even so, Xu Taiping could still see a deep look of worry in Zhao Qian's eyes.

"Don't worry, Master. Senior brothers and sisters will be fine. Even if something happens, I will definitely bring them back."

Xu Taiping put away the jade slips and assured Zhao Qian.

"Peace."

Zhao Qian reached out and patted Xu Taiping on the shoulder, then shook his head and said:

"I just said that since they chose to enter the tower to experience, they will be responsible for their own life and death."

Xu Taiping naturally understood that the reason why Zhao Qian said this was just because he didn't want to put too much pressure on himself.

"Master, please wait for our good news." Xu Taiping smiled at Zhao Qian, "Don't forget that I am the leader of the Golden Scales, and I have the strongest luck in the world."

"Hahaha!……"

Zhao Qian laughed heartily when he heard this, then patted his big belly and said:

"I don't care whether anyone can reach the top this time. As long as you can escape from the Xuanhuang Tower, I, Zhao Qian, and the other seven peak masters will definitely wait for you in Wulao Pavilion to wash away the dust for you."

Xu Taiping also smiled when he heard this.

After this retreat, he felt much more confident than he had three years ago.

"Moreover, the more than 300 people who have reached the summit together this time are all talented people from all over the world. Even if I can't reach the summit, one of them will definitely be able to do it."

He thought so in his heart.

And just as he was thinking this, the leader Zhao Qian, who was standing beside him, suddenly transmitted a message to him:

"Taiping, you can understand the next words by yourself, don't make any noise."

Upon hearing this, Xu Taiping immediately picked up the jade slip in his hand as if nothing had happened and pretended to be examining the jade slip.

Immediately, he heard Zhao Qian, who turned his back and looked outside the hall, said to him:

"Jiu Mansion has recently received information from Youyun Mansion that a group of demon cultivators from Jiu Yuan have secretly sneaked into Zhenwu Tian."

"Fortunately, because of the Zhenwu barrier, their numbers are not large, and their cultivation is not strong."

"But their goal is very clear, which is to bring peace to you."

Hearing this, Xu Taiping frowned slightly.

Although he had already been mentally prepared for Jiuyuan to attack him outside the tower, when the day actually came, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

Then, the leader Zhao Qian continued to say:

"So, I suggest Taiping that you can leave a clone in Qiyuexuan and hide your real body somewhere else."

Xu Taiping nodded calmly.

He thought the leader's proposal was good.

"Master, do you want me to leave my true body at the top of the mountain?"

Xu Taiping sent a message to the leader Zhao Qian and asked.

"No, there is a safer place than here."

Zhao Qian walked to Xu Taiping's side calmly.

"where?"

Xu Taiping was a little curious.

"Don't forget the peak."

Zhao Qian said in a message.

Hearing the name "Mo Forgetting Peak", Xu Taiping's eyes suddenly lit up.

Because this Mo Wangfeng is the dojo of his master, Sansan layman, and the great uncle of Qingxuan Sect, Jianjiu Lu Daoxuan.

"Mo Forget Peak is guarded by hundreds of flying swords left behind by my junior uncle. Even if the people from Jiuyuan find you, they will still be there to protect your safety."

Zhao Qian explained via voice transmission.

"Thank you, Master."

Xu Taiping bowed slightly.

He was very satisfied with Zhao Qian's arrangement.

Zhao Qian calmly handed a token made of gold and fine iron to Xu Taiping's hand, then turned around and took a long breath, and then said through a message: "Actually, the young master uncle had already put the token before entering the Youxuan Cave. This Mountain Lord Order was entrusted to me and I was asked to find an opportunity to give it to you, but I didn’t expect that it has been delayed until now.”

"The master of Moforget Peak in Yunlu Mountain will be you, Xu Taiping, from now on. Those flying swords in the mountain are all old friends of my junior uncle and my junior uncle who have been through life and death. They will definitely be happy that you are here."

"Go ahead."

Xu Taiping, who held the token tightly, was stunned, and then silently bowed his thanks again.

…

Late this night.

"Xu Taiping, did the leader really hand over the Mountain Lord Order of Mo Forgetting Peak to you?"

Amidst the whirring sound of the wind, Bai Yu, who had manifested his true form, fluttered his wings and glided while asking Xu Taiping.

"Um."

Xu Taiping, who was sitting on Bai Yu's back, took out the Mountain Lord Token, looked at it, and then nodded.

"Headmaster Zhao is really generous this time. Previously, many elders just wanted to go to Moforget Peak for retreat, but he didn't allow it. Now, he has directly handed over the Mountain Lord's Order to you."

Bai Yu said very curiously.

How did he know that Xu Taiping was able to obtain the Mountain Lord Order not because of Zhao Qian's generosity, but because their master uncle of Qingxuan Sect was actually the Sansan layman who taught Xu Taiping swordsmanship and was Xu Taiping's real master.

Xu Taiping did not plan to tell everyone about this matter for the time being, so he did not explain it to Bai Yu, and directly changed the subject:

"Bai Yu, I saw that the master said in the list given to me that in addition to the more than 300 cultivators who are already on the eighth floor of Xuanhuang Tower, there are also 600 to 700 cultivators who have now reached the seventh floor of Xuanhuan Tower."

"This is much more than we expected at the beginning."

"Do you know the reason?"

After reading all the information left by Zhao Qian in the jade slip, he wanted to find someone to ask this question.

"Alas..." Bai Yu sighed, "This is all the result of the lives of the people and soldiers of Xuanhuangtian."

"Why do you say that?" Xu Taiping was very puzzled.
