Mortal Bones

Qiyuexuan, atrium.

"So, Bai Yu is not in danger at the moment, he is just lurking near the courtyard where the Maurya King is imprisoned, right Sister Lingyue?"

Xu Taiping stood in the center of the courtyard, looking at the spirit body of Fairy Lingyue in the bamboo forest and asked.

"right."

Sister Lingyue nodded, then smiled and explained in detail to Xu Taiping:

"He should have sneaked out when I was using my spiritual sense to help you deal with the demon god's broken body, but before that I secretly hid a bamboo leaf on him. As long as the distance is not beyond Yunlu Mountain, his every move I can feel it."

Upon hearing this, Xu Taiping was completely relieved.

"But I just heard Bai Yu murmuring that in less than three days, the Xianlu Division will escort the Peacock King out. At that time, there may be a clan of peacock demons who will rob the prison."

Fairy Lingyue said again.

"Then it's time for me to come back."

Xu Taiping nodded.

"Are you feeling well?"

Fairy Lingyue looked at Xu Taiping with some worry.

During this period of time, Xu Taiping was in the Xianhu Secret Realm, dealing with demon cultivators and fighting with other sect disciples, but he never stopped.

"With this pot of spiritual spring given by layman Yuqing, if I take a dip in the medicinal soup at night, I should be able to recover completely."

Xu Taiping replied confidently.

He had tasted this spiritual spring on his way back. Although the medicinal power was not as strong as the gentian wine, it was more mild in power and was very suitable for recuperating the body after a war.

"Your current physique and recovery ability are stronger."

Fairy Lingyue also nodded.

"However, from my observations in the past few days, I feel that the Peacock incident may be a trap."

She suddenly looked at Xu Taiping with a serious face.

"Sister Lingyue, do you think someone is using Peacock King to draw some people out?"

After these experiences, Xu Taiping no longer looked at the problem as innocently as when he first went up the mountain, so he quickly understood what Sister Lingyue meant.

"Yes." Fairy Lingyue nodded.

"The only ones who can do this game are the leader or the master of the first peak. The key is who they are doing this game for. Bai Yu? They should still look down on Bai Yu. Could it be that..."

Xu Taiping lowered his head and began to think. After a moment, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Fairy Lingyue: "Could it be Uncle Bai Hong?"

"Earlier, your second senior brother said that Bai Hong had an opportunity with Uncle Jiu in the North. I suspect that he is about to break through to the Supreme Demon Realm. And your leader obviously knows this too. He is afraid of Bai Hong's revenge. That’s why I set up this trap to lure Bai Hong into taking the bait, hoping to take this opportunity to get rid of him.”

Sister Lingyue guessed.

"Did Bai Yu also guess this?"

Xu Taiping suddenly frowned.

"He's not stupid, he should have seen some clues."

Fairy Lingyue nodded.

"That's why he is so eager to kill the Peacock King, because even if he can't kill him, he can still destroy the master's plan."

Xu Taiping murmured.

"Actually, your boss is fishing with a straight hook, but the problem is that neither Bai Yu nor Bai Hong can refuse the bait on his hook."

Fairy Lingyue smiled bitterly.

"Yes, father and son must avenge the murder of their mother and wife, and Bai Yu cannot just watch his father Bai Hong fall into the trap of the leader and the others."

Xu Taiping nodded.

"So I suggest that instead of being the mantis catching cicadas with Bai Yu, you and I should just wait and see what happens behind the scenes and be the oriole that finally shows up, which can not only help Bai Yu and his son at the critical moment, but also Be able to take the initiative to escape completely.”

Fairy Lingyue suggested.

"no problem."

Xu Taiping nodded.

"Actually, there is another reason why I asked you not to rush to find Bai Yu." Fairy Lingyue smiled and pointed at the two bamboos growing straight beside her, "No later than tomorrow night, the fruits of these two bamboos will be It will be fully mature. When you take the weapon from the bamboo fruit and I regain my freedom, I will have a better chance of winning."

"Will it be mature tomorrow night?"

Xu Taiping said with some surprise.

If Sister Lingyue hadn't reminded him, he would have almost forgotten about the bamboo fruit.

"No surprise, it will be a spiritual weapon. The probability of a sword will be higher, but it may also be a knife or other weapons. The worst case scenario is a spiritual treasure-level armor."

Fairy Lingyue said.

Even if the required nutrients are prepared, no one can be sure what will come out of the earth fruit.

"Weapons are the best, but if it's anything else, there's nothing we can do about it."

Xu Taiping was very thoughtful.

"That's the best thing you can think of."

Fairy Lingyue nodded.

In fact, she really wanted to say that no matter what was produced in that bamboo, the harvest of the ripe fruits this time would be huge.

Because thanks to this bamboo fruit, her soul has been completely stabilized, and she no longer has to worry about it breaking apart.

In this way, there will be more places that can help Xu Taiping.

"Peace!"

"Junior brother, you didn't say a word when you came back."

"Junior brother, come and open the door quickly. We have brought wine and food."

At this moment, the shouts of Zhao Linglong and several senior brothers suddenly rang outside Qi Yuexuan's courtyard.

Hearing this, Xu Taiyuan's originally serious face suddenly softened.

"Sister Lingyue, I'm going to see senior sister and senior brother first. I have some things to ask you for advice later."

He smiled and looked at Fairy Lingyue.

"Well, I also need to make some preparations for coming out of retreat."

Fairy Lingyue nodded.

...

At the gate of the courtyard.

Xu Taiping walked quickly to the gate and opened it.

"Sister Linglong, Senior Sister, Second Senior Brother, why are you all here?"

What surprised him was that not only Zhao Linglong and Qingxiao came today, but also the Senior Sister who rarely showed up on weekdays, and several other senior brothers and sisters also came.
