Mortal Bones

Xu Taiping naturally knew what Dongfang Yueyu was worried about, but he did not explain it. Instead, he changed the subject with a smile:

"Let's see how Jiuyuan chooses first."

Although Xu Taiping didn't admit it, he didn't deny it either, which made Dongfang Yueyu very uneasy.

But just when Dongfang Yueyu was about to say something more, the voice of the old palace master Jiang Xuanfeng sounded again:

"Everyone, please quickly look at your candidates. In a few moments, you will enter the Immortal Burial Ruins in order of ranking on the list."

Jiang Xuanfeng added:

"Although the time here is much slower than that of the Immortal Burial Ruins, after all, the divine power of the Divine Formation will not last long, so it must be faster."

After hearing this, the expressions on the faces of the monks around him suddenly became tense.

Dongfang Yueyu looked at Xu Taiping again.

Xu Taiping's eyes were still fixed on the scroll in front of Jiang Xuanfeng, but after feeling Dongfang Yueyu's gaze, he asked without looking back:

"Yue Cocoon, do you and Master Xuanzhi have any candidates?"

Dongfang Yueyu and Master Xuanzhi looked at each other, and then said seriously:

"Master Xuanzhi and I both believe that Li Sisi is the most suitable!"

Xu Taiping still asked without looking back:

"Why?"

Dongfang Yue Cocoon replied:

"Although Pang Zhong is definitely the best candidate, there is a high probability that Jiuyuan will choose him."

"However, compared to the general Pang Chong of the Lang Kingdom, the conditions of Li Sisi, the daughter of the richest man in the Chaoyun Kingdom, are also very good."

Dongfang Yue Cocoon explained:

"Although this girl Li Sisi has no power on her own, she has the backing of the richest man, the Li family. This will allow us to not worry about financial issues when we first enter the Immortal Burial Ruins."

"At the same time, she is the descendant of the Dragon Catcher, so our communication with her is naturally much smoother than ordinary mortals. Moreover, her family has secretly cultivated a group of Dragon-Slaying Guards, which will be a great help to us."

Hearing this, Xu Taiping finally turned his head and looked at Dongfang Yueyu.

Xu Taiping asked Dongfang Yueyu calmly:

"Then what do you think of Li Sisi?"

When asked by Xu Taiping, Dongfang Yueyu was suddenly stunned.

Because if we look at the conditions behind Li Sisi's life, there is indeed nothing redeeming about Li Sisi herself.

However, Dongfang Yueyu still insisted:

"We don't know much about her at the moment, but to be chosen as the dragon hunter this time, she is definitely not an ordinary person."

Xu Taiping shook his head and said:

"Of course she is not an ordinary person, but the reason why she chose to ask the gods to slay the dragon was more like to complete a task."

Dongfang Yueyu asked in confusion:

"What if?"

Xu Taiping asked:

"When it comes to facing the silver dragon, I don't want to say whether she can help me slay the dragon on her own. I only ask Yue Yue, do you dare to entrust your back to her?"

Dongfang Yue Cocoon was suddenly speechless.

Although she was very optimistic about Li Sisi, she had to admit that when it came time to slay the dragon, she really did not dare to hand her back to Li Sisi.

Xu Taiping looked at the Immortal Burial Ruins scroll again and continued:

"As Yue Yue said just now, the characters who can appear in this painting must have something extraordinary about them. However, Li Sisi's extraordinaryness will only help us when we first enter the Immortal Burial Ruins."

"Don't forget, what we really have to face is the dragon."

"That true dragon has long been extinct in Shangqing, but it has suppressed the human race for millions of years."

Dongfang Yueyu, who was awakened by Xu Taiping's words, had a thin layer of cold sweat break out on his forehead.

Just as Xu Taiping said, what she had just been thinking about instinctively was to use the dragon catcher in the painting to solve the problem of entering the Immortal Burial Ruins.

Xuanzhi also nodded slightly at this time and said:

"Brother Taiping said a lot. The eighteen people selected for this painting must all have something extraordinary. On the contrary, the extraordinary things that can be seen at a glance are too ordinary."

In fact, Xu Taiping didn't think about it that much.

He just felt that Li Sisi was more like a businessman than a pure dragon slayer.

However, after the conversation with Dongfang Yueyu and Xuanzhi, Gu Yu's weight in his heart actually increased a bit.

There is no other reason than that Gu Yu’s motive for praying to God is more pure than the other eighteen people in this painting.

Just like what Gu Yu said when he asked God just now.

Ever since he watched his brother die in the God-Inviting Formation when he was young, he has been preparing to slay the dragon all his life. After all, if it weren't for the demonic dragon's bewitchment that caused him to lose his mind, he wouldn't have let the God-Inviting Formation backfire, let alone kill his brother Gu Yang.

At this time, Dongfang Yueyu suddenly seemed to have made some difficult preparations. He gritted his teeth and looked at Xu Taiping and said:

"Brother Taiping, you make the choice, I trust your intuition!"

Xuanzhi also smiled at this time and said:

"The same goes for young monks."

Hearing this, Xu Taiping retracted his gaze from the Immortal Burial Ruins scroll, then nodded to the two of them and said:

"Then let's make another bet together."

After seeing Xu Taiping's decisive eyes, Dongfang Yueyu and Master Xuanzhi inexplicably felt like they were back when they faced the siege of "a hundred ghosts" in the wild Kaysapa Temple.

The two of them thought to themselves, we can even survive such desperate situations as the ghosts surrounding the Kasyapa Temple, so what is there to be afraid of in the Immortal Burial Ruins?

Just when the three people reached an agreement, the voice of the old palace master Jiang Xuanfeng sounded again:

"Those three from Jiuyuan, you were ranked first when you were listed. According to the rules of the Dragon Slayer Club, you will be the first to be chosen."

As soon as these words came out, all the cultivators' eyes fell on the three people from Jiuyuan.

The three people from Jiuyuan, led by Wuxin Demon Emperor, did not say anything polite and stood up and walked to Jiang Xuanfeng.

Then, Wuxin Demon Emperor smiled at Jiang Xuanfeng and said:

"Brother Jiang, thank you for your help."

Jiang Xuanfeng glanced at Wuxin Demon Emperor coldly.

If it weren't for the Demon Mother's order, he would have probably attacked Wuxin Demon Emperor and the other two.

Jiang Xuanfeng glared at the three people and said in a cold tone:

"Choose, and put your hand on the painting after you choose."

Wuxin Demon Emperor was not annoyed at all, and nodded with a smile:

"Palace Master Jiang, your temper is exactly the same as your senior brother Xu Song."

As soon as these words came out, everyone heard a "boom" and a terrible breath suddenly spread from Jiang Xuanfeng.

But in just a moment, the old palace master Jiang Xuanfeng took back the aura, and then said in a cold and murderous voice:

"Wuxin, I will cut you sooner or later!"

The Wuxin Demon Emperor laughed loudly, then narrowed his eyes and smiled at Jiang Xuanfeng and said:

"You don't have that chance."

After saying this, the Wuxin Demon Emperor stood up and said loudly without waiting for Jiang Xuanfeng to speak:

"The person I Jiuyuan chose is Pang Zhong of Tianlang Country!"

As soon as the voice fell, the picture of Pang Zhong of Tianlang Country standing in the summoning array suddenly enlarged and appeared in the scroll of the burial of immortals.

Then, in the eyes of the monks who were either envious or angry, the Wuxin Demon Emperor stretched out his hand and pressed on the picture in the scroll.

At the same time, Wuxin Demon Emperor turned to look at Xu Taiping and sneered:

"Xu Taiping, see you in the Immortal Burial Ruins!"
