Mortal Bones

"Your Highness, did I hear it right?"

On the stand where Lu Rushuang and the others were, Princess Chu Xiaoxiao was completely dumbfounded.

"Although... I wanted to ask this too, but you must have heard it right. It was indeed Zhang Moyan who admitted defeat..."

Chu Tiancheng, with a wooden expression, said as he retracted his gaze from the Golden Scale Stage, and then turned to look at his master Lu Rushuang beside him and asked:

"Master, do you know anything?"

Lu Rushuang, who was lost in thought, was interrupted by Chu Tiancheng.

She glanced at Chu Tiancheng, then shook her head and said:

"I really don't know anything, but..."

When she said this, she turned her gaze back to the Golden Scale, and locked onto Zhang Moyan, who was on the stage with his arms crossed and chatting with Xu Taiping with a relaxed look on his face. Finally, she said thoughtfully:

"Before admitting defeat, Zhang Moyan thanked Taiping, saying that he was thanking Taiping for saving the people of Xiliang. It seems that Taiping went to Xiliang during the three months when he escaped from the Kunlong Tower."

Hearing this, Chu Tiancheng was startled, and then looked at Lu Rushuang in surprise and said:

"Master, a few days ago I accidentally saw a secret report on my father's desk. The secret report said that Zhenhai Tower was besieged by the demons led by the Mermaid King, and the core of the Burning Sea Array, which is the foundation of Zhenhai Tower, was besieged by the Mermaid Demons."

"Will Senior Brother Taiping's actions...will they be related? For example, did he help the demons siege the city?"

When he said this, Chu Tiancheng's beautiful eyes were full of fear.

"If this is such a favor, it is indeed worthy of Zhang Moyan's thanks, but Taiping...can he do it?"

When Lu Rushuang said this, her eyes moved from Zhang Moyan to Xu Taiping little by little.

"This, I also think it is a bit impossible..."

Chu Tiancheng smiled embarrassedly.

"Wuwu wow wow wow..."

At this moment, Chu Xiaoxiao on the side suddenly burst into tears.

Chu Tiancheng and Lu Rushuang turned their heads and looked over.

"Xiaoxiao, Brother Taiping won, you don't have to be so excited, right?"

Chu Tiancheng walked to Chu Xiaoxiao with a puzzled look on his face.

"I... I... I'm not..."

Chu Xiaoxiao cried breathlessly.

"You're not what?"

Chu Tiancheng became more and more confused.

"I... I... I lied to you... Before I came... I bought... I bought... Brother Taiping lost!!... Cough cough cough cough..."

Chu Xiaoxiao cried too hard and finally started coughing.

Hearing this, Chu Tiancheng's mouth twitched a few times, and then he asked tentatively:

"How much did you buy?"

"Seven hundred... Ten thousand... And I haven't had time to pay you back the ten thousand I also..."

Chu Xiaoxiao stopped crying and gestured pitifully with her hands.

"Chu Xiaoxiao, you gambler, go to hell!"

Chu Tiancheng kicked Chu Xiaoxiao.

If Lu Rushuang hadn't pulled them back, the two sisters might have fought.

…

“Why? Why did Zhang Moyan admit defeat!”

At the same time, in a loft stand with Junior Nun Lu Rushuang and the others, Mu Yuchen still looked incredulous until the House Master Qiu Shanyuan read out the results of the competition.

“Brother, could it be that they have a private deal?”

She suddenly looked at Mu Yun, who was lying on the chair, with an expression of “I smell the smell of conspiracy”.

“Zhang Moyan is backed by Zhenhai Tower. With the background of Xuanyun Martial Arts School, I am afraid she is not qualified to make a deal with her.”

Mu Yun did not think of this possibility, but he immediately denied it.

“Then…could it be that Zhang Moyan fell in love with Xu Taiping at first sight? No way? Xu Taiping is not ugly, but he is dark, so dark, how could Zhang Moyan like him?”

Mu Yuchen sat down beside Mu Yun with a puzzled look on his face.

“Why is your mind full of such messes?”

Mu Yun rolled his eyes at Mu Yuchen.

However, he also knew that after his sister inherited the position of the goddess, she would be able to act more recklessly in front of him, so he immediately slowed down his tone and said:

"This situation would not happen to someone as pure as Zhang Moyan."

Mu Yuchen nodded: "That's true, otherwise how could she have such a cultivation at this age."

"Young Master, Miss, there is an urgent report from Guangling Pavilion."

Elder Zou, who had been silent, suddenly stepped forward and handed a jade disc to Mu Yun.

"An urgent report from Guangling Pavilion?!"

Mu Yun immediately sat up straight after hearing this.

He really didn't expect that he could receive an urgent report from Guangling Pavilion while in Youyuntian.

"Brother, Guangling Pavilion won't be in trouble, right?"

Mu Yuchen also became nervous at this time.

"Let me take a look first."

Mu Yun signaled Mu Yuchen not to be nervous, and at the same time reached out to take the jade disc handed by Elder Zou.

This jade disc is one of the few treasures that can directly connect to the Guangling Pavilion of Juemingtian. Even Elder Zou is not qualified to view the contents inside.

After injecting a stream of true essence into the jade disc with a special method, a few lines of words appeared in the center of the jade disc--

"Three months ago, Xiliang Kingdom was only one step away from being destroyed by the mermaid demon. In the crisis, a young cultivator and a group of Tianhai Town Red Armored Cavalry jointly defended Tianhai Pass."

"Judging from the information collected by Guangling Pavilion Youyuntian Xingxing, this monk is the key to guarding Tianhai Town. Judging from his age, he is very likely to appear in the Golden Scale Society. If so, he will be Xiaoye's most important person this time. You must pay attention to this, which is a big obstacle to winning the championship.”

"But you must not provoke this person. If the information is correct, this news was released by Zhang Tianze himself. The purpose is self-evident, which is to support this person."

When Mu Yun only saw the first line of words, his scalp felt numb.

"Xiliang was almost destroyed three months ago. Why don't we know about this?"

Mu Yun was filled with fear.

Xiliang borders Nanchu. If Xiliang is destroyed, Nanchu will inevitably be invaded by monsters. By then, they in Nanchu will also be doomed.

"Brother, it says here that a young monk assisted the Red Armor Cavalry to guard the Tianhai Pass. That was just now..."

After Mu Yuchen read the words on the jade plate, an astonishing idea suddenly came to her mind. She looked at Xu Taiping on the golden scale step by step, and then murmured in disbelief:

"Just now Zhang Moyan thanked Xu Taiping for saving millions of people in Xiliang. Could this be the same thing?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Yun also looked stern, and suddenly connected the two things together.

"Isn't it possible? The battle in the military formation is not a competition between monks. How can it be possible just by relying on him to become a god in half a step..."

"Buzz..."

Before Mu Yun finished speaking, the jade plate he was holding suddenly trembled, and green halos spread from the jade plate like ripples of water.

This is a sign that there is a message coming from the other side of the jade plate.

Mu Yun quickly injected a burst of true energy into the jade dish again.

Immediately, another "buzz" sound was heard, and a cloud of water mist suddenly rose from the jade plate, and then a mirage-like scene appeared in the water mist.

If you look carefully, what appears in this picture is a city riddled with holes.

In front of the city, countless monsters rushed towards the city like a tide, rushing towards the city gate that had a gap.

But even under such a situation where the monsters were overwhelming, there was still a team of red-armored knights, and a monk who was as tall as a monster, with the Buddha's light behind him, and punched away the monsters one after another.

Whenever the Buddha's light dissipates from his body, the monk will yell, do it again, do it again, do it again.

Falling down again and again, getting up again and again.

Even if the flesh on his hands is rotten, the flesh and blood on his body is torn by monsters, even if his shoulder is bitten with bones, even if he has become a bloody man, he will still get up again and again without knowing whether to live or die.

Look again at the name of the city behind the man——

"Tianhaiguan."

Even if they were just bystanders, the Mu Yun brothers and sisters were shocked and speechless by the scene in front of them.
