Mortal Bones

Time goes back half a year.

Floating in the chaos of the outside world, inside the Jinting Cave.

"Boss Lingyue, please go find the man who holds the Dragon Slaying Monument. Nothing will happen, right?"

Bai Yu and Ping An sat in front of a golden lotus possessed by Fairy Lingyue and asked curiously.

Behind them, in the trapped dragon tower several hundred feet high, a burst of sword sounds would be heard from time to time.

Fairy Lingyue glanced at Sleepy Dragon Tower out of habit, and then said with certainty:

"The person we entrusted to us is named Wuji Immortal. He is the fourth seat of Linyuan Pavilion. His cultivation is not only within the five directions of the Shangqing Realm, but also among the monks outside the world. Among the best.”

Fairy Lingyue frowned slightly and continued:

"If even the Wuji Immortal Master cannot retrieve the Dragon-Slaying Monument, we will have to wait another fifty years or find another way."

The dragon-slaying stele mentioned by Fairy Lingyue is actually one of the ninety-nine stone stele connected to the exits of the ninety-nine rooms in the Sleeping Dragon Tower.

More than fifty years ago, Zhu Songyu, Qingtong Evil Lord's junior sister, was able to find Xu Taiping.

It relied on the dragon-slaying tablet in the secret realm where she was.

And what Fairy Lingyue wants to ask Immortal Wuji to find is also the dragon-slaying tablet that Zhu Songyu had originally.

And this is exactly the way Fairy Lingyue found to get out of this secret realm more than fifty years ago.

At that time, she was recovering her strength in the golden lotus, and she accidentally sensed the aura of Linyuan Pavilion through the Chi-Ji Yin-Yang Mirror.

Immediately, she asked Bai Yu to be safe and tried to use the formation method she dictated to sense the aura of Linyuan Pavilion through this yin-yang mirror.

Unexpectedly, it actually succeeded.

Then a very bold idea came to his mind——

"Through the transaction with the thirteen seats in Linyuan Pavilion, we entrust them to find the secret realm outside the sky where Zhu Songyu was before his death, and then send the Dragon-Slaying Monument to Zhenwutian."

"Finally, when the Golden Lotus matures and Xu Taiping successfully removes the first soul seal, he can then walk out of the Golden Court Cave through the Dragon-Slaying Monument placed in the Zhenwu Heaven."

The reason why we want to search for the secret realm outside the sky where Fairy Zhusongyu lived during her lifetime is because no one knows the location of the other Dragon-Slaying Monuments after being left for hundreds of thousands of years.

After all, even Fairy Zhusongyu spent nearly a thousand years searching for this dragon-slaying monument.

She and Xu Taiping didn't have that much time to wait.

The child-like Ping An asked Fairy Lingyue very curiously:

"Sister Lingyue, since the Wuji Immortal is so powerful and already knows the location of the Dragon-Slaying Monument, why hasn't it taken more than fifty years to get it?"

Fairy Lingyue explained helplessly:

"Because the secret realm outside the sky where the Dragon-Slaying Monument is located, also known as the Wind Demon Eye, the entire secret realm is wrapped in a hurricane formed by the innate Gang Qi. Ordinary monks will be involved in it even if they are just close to it, and eventually they will be swept away by the innate Gang Qi. The hurricane turned into chaos and left no bones behind.”

"Even a monk at the level of Wuji Immortal would not dare to break in alone."

"For this reason, he has made preparations for decades. He also used five seats in the Linyuan Pavilion to perform a divination using heavenly magic and calculated the weakest period of the strong wind around the secret realm."

"After that, I waited for another five years before entering the secret realm to look for the Dragon-Slaying Monument."

What she said came from the messages Wuji Immortal had sent to him over the years by borrowing the power of Linyuan Pavilion.

Of course, Wuji Immortal had only one reason for telling her this - to add money.

Hearing this, Ping An nodded with a sudden look on his face and said:

"I didn't expect that just picking up a dragon-slaying tablet would be so difficult."

Bai Yu on the side smiled at Fairy Lingyue and said:

"Boss, can you tell me what exactly you promised to that Wuji Immortal to make him willing to work for you so wholeheartedly?"

Fairy Lingyue rolled her eyes at Bai Yu and said:

"Go back and continue practicing. Ping An is about to break through. You, the eldest brother, are not as good as him. If I were you, I would dig a hole and bury myself!"

Bai Yu lowered his head after being scolded, then curled his lips and turned around to practice with an angry look on his face.

After saying goodbye to Fairy Lingyue, Ping An also followed.

"call……"

Watching the two people leaving, Fairy Lingyue frowned and took a long breath, then secretly said:

"If it weren't for an origin magic bead of the Master of the Ten Abyss, a relic of an ancient saint, and a Confucian immortal weapon as conditions, how could the immortal Immortal Wuji be willing to spend decades to get that beheaded sword? Dragon monument?"

Fairy Lingyue felt a twinge of pain when she thought of the treasures promised to Wuji Immortal.

This was precisely the reason why he had lost his composure when facing Bai Yu's inquiry just now.

"But considering the time, Wuji Immortal should also retrieve the Dragon-Slaying Monument, right?"

Thinking like this, Fairy Lingyue's eyes fell on the trapped dragon tower in front of her.

Judging from the content of Wuji Immortal's last message to her, he and several of his disciples had entered the secret realm of the Wind Demon Eye and began to search for the specific location of the Dragon-Slaying Monument.

"Rumble..."

And just as she was thinking this, the sound of extremely violent aura fluctuations suddenly spread out from the trapped dragon tower not far away.

At the same time, Xu Taiping’s voice sounded in Fairy Lingyue’s mind—

"Sister Lingyue, the first demon-sealing sword that I forged with the Furnace Forging Art will be born soon."

Hearing this, Fairy Lingyue was overjoyed:

"Great!"

However, the next sentence from Xu Taiping made Fairy Lingyue's face suddenly change from surprise to horror-

"But Sister Lingyue, the situation at Wuji Immortal Weng seems a little bad."

Fairy Lingyue immediately asked Xu Taiping with a serious face:

"Taiping, did you hear the voice of Wuji Immortal Weng in the tower?"

After finding the Dragon Slaying Tablet, Wuji Immortal Weng could indeed use the Dragon Slaying Tablet to transmit a message to Xu Taiping in the tower at the cost of consuming a large amount of true energy.

Xu Taiping immediately replied:

"Sister Lingyue, listen to it yourself."

As he spoke, the voice of Wuji Xianweng, with a hint of urgency, suddenly appeared in Fairy Lingyue's mind--

"Yuezhu, the situation has changed. All the people I brought in died in this secret realm."

"I...I...may not be able to escape now..."

"In this secret realm, there is a...a very terrifying existence hidden, whose combat power may be even higher than that of Cangshu Tianjun..."

"Yuezhu, listen carefully, next I...every word I say is very important."

"This will affect whether your Dragon Slaying Tablet can be sent out, and...and whether I...can walk out of this secret realm alive."

"What the hell is this!

"Why is my luck so bad!"

When he said this, Wuji Xianweng couldn't help but burst out with a swear word.
