Mortal Bones

"As expected of a descendant of the five Chenglongtian families, he actually has his own spiritual beast mount in this Xuandan Sect."

On the way to the training dojo, Xu Taiping, who borrowed Bei Guoxiao's body, sat cross-legged on the back of a spiritual crane of high rank.

This Linghe is Bei Guoxiao's mount.

"This Xuandan Palace is also quite impressive."

The sword ghost, who was standing on the back of Linghe in a fugue-like manner, raised his eyes and looked around, and then praised.

Xu Taiping also nodded at this time and acknowledged:

"Just from the layout point of view, this Xuandan Palace is somewhat similar to the Tianchan Sect in Tianwai."

The sword ghost said:

"Not surprisingly, the predecessor of the Xuan Dan Sect should be the same as the Tianchan Sect. It is a sect with an ancient heritage, but it is now in decline."

Xu Taiping smiled bitterly and said:

"Xuandan Palace is also the largest sect in Chenglong Heaven, so how can we say it is in decline."

The sword ghost shook his head, pointed to a huge observatory on a mountain ridge below, and said:

"Look at the high platform on the top of the peak. It seems that it was prepared for setting up a large spirit gathering array. Now the whole high platform is covered in gray. It seems that the spirit gathering array has never been opened."

Xu Taiping took a closer look and found that, as Senior Daogui said, there were very obvious traces of formations on the observatory itself, as well as on several other high platforms surrounding the observatory.

The sword ghost took back his hand and continued:

"And a spirit gathering array of this size, a truly large sect, starts with ten."

"In some larger sects, this kind of spirit gathering array cannot even meet the needs, and more powerful spirit gathering arrays are needed."

"Because the larger the sect, the higher the cultivation level of the disciples and elders within the sect, and the more spiritual energy of heaven and earth is required. Just relying on the natural spiritual energy of mountains and rivers is simply not enough."

When Xu Taiping heard this, he felt that he had gained a lot of knowledge.

"Zheng!..."

At this time, accompanied by a piercing sound of swords, a pair of young men and women, one on the left and one on the right, sandwiched the crane that Xu Taiping was riding on.

At the same time, the young man shouted playfully to Xu Taiping:

"Master Beiguo, you have been in seclusion for so long and are you finally willing to go out?"

The girl also smiled and said:

"It seems that Master Beiguo has suffered a lot during this retreat. He looks a lot thinner."

The young man burst into laughter upon hearing this.

Because Xu Taiping only borrowed Bei Guoxiao's body and did not seize it, he was not sure about the origins of the young man and woman and their relationship with Bei Guoxiao.

So he just imitated Bei Guo's tone of voice, put his hands next to his ears, and pretended not to hear:

"What? What did you say? It's windy here, I can't hear you!"

Fortunately, he was already above the tower at this moment. Before the young man and woman could react, the spiritual crane under Xu Taiping had already swooped down.

When the young man and woman saw this, they immediately showed sneer on their faces.

The young man even sneered:

"This piece of trash must be going after Senior Sister Qingxue!"

The girl rolled her eyes at the boy and said:

"Didn't you come here because you saw Senior Sister Qingxue coming here to challenge today?"

The young man snorted coldly and said:

"Your brother and I are now at the Martial God level in martial arts. Can we be the same as that trash?"

The girl waved her hand and said:

"I won't argue with you anymore. Go down. Maybe Bei Guoxiao is making some jokes down there."

After saying that, the two of them immediately swooped down with their swords.

The sword ghost who had been eavesdropping for a long time in a fugue-like manner on the side immediately curled his lips and sent a message to Xu Taiping: "Just two little brats who don't like to see Bei Guo Xiao."

Xu Taiping, who had descended on the spiritual crane, immediately felt relieved after hearing this and said:

"That's good."

He thought these two people were here to seek revenge on Bei Guoxiao.

However, judging from what these two people just said, although Bei Guoxiao was backed by the Bei Guo family and had a strong background, he didn't seem to be well received in Xuandan Palace on weekdays.

Immediately, Xu Taiping jumped off the Linghe's back.

"Click!..."

What Xu Taiping didn't expect was that the moment he landed, he suddenly made a move with his foot, causing Bei Guoxiao's fragile ankle to twist, and his body stumbled forward uncontrollably.

"Bang!"

As it happened, his thick and plump body just happened to run into a group of female disciples of Xuandan Palace.

For a moment, there were screams in the open space in front of the tower.

"Crack!"

Before Xu Taiping could react, a slap fell heavily on his face.

At the same time, a woman was heard saying in an extremely angry tone:

"Bei Guoxiao, you are shameless!"

Xu Taiping took a closer look and found that the person who slapped him was an oval-faced female disciple with cold features and pale skin.

Being slapped for no reason, Xu Taiping was a little unhappy at first, but after seeing the position of his hand at this moment, he was relieved.

"Hurry up and take your hands away!"

The woman's cheeks turned red and she said angrily.

Xu Taiping then took his hand away, and then imitated Bei Guo's laughing tone and said apologetically:

"I accidentally slipped just now, please don't worry, senior sister."

When saying this, Xu Taiping asked the sword ghost in his heart:

"Senior, when I jumped off the back of the crane just now, did I move my hands or feet on the ground?"

Soon the voice of the sword ghost came:

"Did you see it too?"

After hearing Daogui's answer, Xu Taiping's heart suddenly trembled, and he secretly said:

"Sure enough, someone has made a move. It seems that Beiguo Xiao has many enemies in Xuandan Palace."

Because under normal circumstances, with Xu Taiping's current cultivation, even if he controls Beiguo Xiao's body, it is impossible for him to slip.

At this time, the woman snorted coldly, then turned her head and said:

"Beiguo Xiao, you and I have no engagement for a long time, please don't continue to entangle, otherwise, don't blame me, Li Xueqing, for not remembering the old friendship!"

Hearing this, Xu Taiping frowned slightly, and murmured to Daogui in his heart:

"I just went out and fell down, and I just fell down and met my fiancée who broke the engagement..."

"Senior Daogui, the person who made this kid slip just now, didn't he use the method of the air-watching sorcerer?"

In Xu Taiping's opinion, there can't be such a coincidence in the world.
