Mortal Bones

Judging from the regretful look in his eyes, he should really want to see Emperor Xuanhuang again.

"The Great Emperor is already a member of the upper realm. No matter how powerful the monks in the lower realm are, if they want to meet him rashly, they will be counterattacked by the fate of heaven. They may even be wiped out with just one look at him."

The sword slave also looked regretful.

"Taoist Master Taiping, continue climbing the tower. The people outside the tower are still waiting for you. Find a way out for them and seek justice."

Dongfang Jing suddenly looked at Xu Taiping seriously, with a hint of pleading in his eyes.

Obviously, like Dao Slave, Dongfang Jing, who is now the tower spirit, has actually known about the things outside the tower for a long time.

"Um!"

Xu Taiping nodded heavily.

After saying that, he strode towards the central staircase of the hall without looking back.

"Old fox, as far as I know, even if the emperor's true spirit descends to earth, he can no longer interfere with the affairs of the lower world, right?"

Dao Nu suddenly confirmed to the Oriental Mirror.

"That's right." Dongfang Jing nodded, "No."

"Then what this kid can do on this trip is very limited." The sword slave sighed.

Dongfang Jing did not answer, but silently looked at Xu Taiping who was walking towards the thirteenth floor of Xuanhuang Tower step by step. When Xu Taiping's figure disappeared on the stairs, he said expressionlessly :

"Actually, there is a way for the emperor to intervene in the affairs of the lower realm without violating the laws of heaven and earth."

"What can I do?" The knife slave asked quickly.

"As long as there is one person who can catch the counterattack force of heaven triggered by the emperor's attack, the emperor can attack the Jiuyuan monsters in Xuanhuangtian."

Dongfang Jing put both hands in his sleeves and murmured solemnly.

"Catch the counterattack force of heaven triggered by the emperor's attack?"

The sword slave was startled when he heard the words and was unable to react immediately. It was not until he repeated the words that he suddenly woke up and said:

"What you mean by this is that as long as Xu Taiping withstands the power of Heaven's counterattack, the emperor can take action against Jiuyuan?"

"Yes." Dongfang Jing nodded heavily without blinking.

"No!" The sword slave shook his head angrily, "This is so unfair to that kid!"

"Why are you so excited?"

Dongfeng Jing rolled his eyes at Dao Slave, then looked at the direction of the stairs, and continued expressionlessly: "No one can force him, not even the emperor. Whether he does it or not will only be his own. choose."

"The emperor acts openly and aboveboard, and he will indeed not do anything like this to force his juniors." After hearing this, the sword slave's expression relaxed a little, and he nodded lightly.

"But having said that, with the luck of the Golden Scale Ranking, he is indeed the best choice. If it were another person, I'm afraid that before the Great Emperor takes action, he will be crushed by the counterattack force of the Heavenly Dao."

Dongfang Jing said with some regret.

"No matter how appropriate it is, we should not let an unrelated person bear all this!"

Now that Xuanhuang Tianhui has fallen into this situation, the culprit is none other than you and me! "

The more Dao Slave talked, the more excited he became.

"If you and I had misunderstood and given that second ring to that scum Wu Xin, with the arrangements the Emperor and I had left in Xuanhuangtian, unless Shangqingjie was defeated in the battle between heaven and demon, Jiuyuan Don’t even dream of touching Xuanhuangtian!”

When he said this, Dao Nu's face was filled with regret and anger.

"Yes." Dongfang Jing sighed, then looked at his hands, and said with a look of remorse: "You and I are both sinners. If possible, even if I have to risk my soul to die and never have another life, I am willing to stand for the emperor in the next day. Tao counterattack."

…

"Crack."

After passing the last staircase, Xu Taiping finally arrived at the thirteenth floor of the legendary Xuanhuang Tower.

"Is this here?"

The scene on the thirteenth floor was a little different from Xu Taiping's imagination. Except for the roiling sea of ​​clouds that could be seen all around like the twelfth floor, there was no other difference.

"It's not that there's no difference. That bell doesn't exist on the twelfth floor of Xuanhuang Tower."

Xu Taiping's eyes suddenly fell on the center of the thirteenth-floor hall, where he saw a huge copper bell hanging with densely packed mysterious runes drawn on its surface.

"Taoist Master Taiping, if you hit that bronze bell, you can lead the true spirit of Emperor Xuanhuang from the upper world to this place."

Just when Xu Taiping felt a little confused, Ta Ling's voice sounded in his mind again.

"This seems to be what Mr. Zhang said."

Xu Taiping was overjoyed, and immediately thanked the Eastern Mirror of the Tower Spirit in his heart, and then walked quickly towards the bronze bell in the center of the hall.

…

Xuanhuang Tower, Thousand Machines City.

"Lord City Lord, the demon army of the Ninth Abyss is attacking the city like crazy. If you don't leave, it will be too late!"

In the city lord's palace, a bloody general from Thousand Machine City stood in front of the city lord of Thousand Machine City and begged.

"Dad, you and General Lu retreat first, I'll guard here!"

Gongshu Bai also persuaded the old city lord at this time.

"Wait, wait!"

The old city lord looked at the spiritual mirror in front of him and gritted his teeth with a look of reluctance.

"Dad, what are you waiting for? Although Taoist Taiping has already reached the twelfth floor, it will take a lot of trouble to see the emperor's true spirit. There is no need for you to wait like this!"

Gongshu Bai looked puzzled.

"I'm waiting for the sound of the Wentian Bell."

The old city lord looked at Gongshu Bai and General Lu with burning eyes, and then said excitedly: "When Emperor Xuanhuang ascended to heaven, he announced to the world that when the bell of the Questioning Heaven Bell sounded above the sky of Xuanhuang Heaven, it would be the day when he returned to Xuanhuang Heaven."

"Master Taiping, you can definitely hit the Questioning Heaven Bell!"

Compared to young people like Gongshu Bai, the old city lord's intuition is much sharper.

"Ding!——"

As if to confirm the old city lord's words, almost at the moment when his voice fell, a deafening bell sound fell from the sky through the clouds and mist, resounding throughout the entire Xuanhuang Heaven.

"He did it, he did it, Master Taiping, he did it!"

Hearing the bell, the old city lord of Qianji City fell to his knees with a plop, and then kowtowed heavily and said: "Master Taiping! This kindness, Xuanhuang Heaven, Qianji City, tens of millions of people, will remember it forever!"
