Mortal Bones

"Brother, there is news."

That evening, just as the fifth round of the Golden Scales Club's competition ended, Mu Yuchen got a piece of information from his subordinates.

At this moment, Mu Yun was sitting at a table with a spiritual mirror, quietly waiting for the Golden Scale Ranking to announce the names for the next round of competitions.

But what was different from the past was that there was a well-behaved young man sitting next to him today.

"what news?"

Mu Yun raised his head and looked at Mu Yuchen with some confusion.

"Xiaoye, you're here too."

Just as Mu Yuchen was about to answer, his attention was suddenly attracted to the young man.

"Senior Sister Yuchen, I'm going to come out and talk to my senior brother about the next round of competition."

The young man smiled at Mu Yuchen.

This young man is none other than Ji Ye, a Taoist genius who has rarely been seen in Juemingtian Guangling Pavilion for hundreds of years.

"What exactly is the news?"

Mu Yun waited a little impatiently.

"The news about what Xuan Dao Sect used to threaten Xu Taiping."

Mu Yuchen said with a mysterious expression.

Upon hearing this, Mu Yun's expression immediately became serious and he urged:

"Don't be so secretive, just tell me."

Ji Ye on the side also raised his head and looked at Mu Yuchen with a curious look on his face.

"A deacon of Xuandao Sect who had been expelled long ago accidentally kidnapped a female monk from Zhenwutian and brought her back to Youyuntian. This woman was Xu Taiping's friend."

"In this Golden Scale Association, after the expelled disciple recognized Xu Taiping, he used it as a bargaining chip to gain benefits from the Xuandao Sect."

"In order to let the illegitimate son enter the high position of the Golden Scale Ranking and revive the Xuandao Sect, the ancestor of Xuandao spent a lot of money this time. He directly ordered an elder in the sect to cast the Heart-Concealing Curse so that Zhou Yuanqing would not be The other sect disciples deliberately ignored it and collected information about the disciples from all sides who were invited to participate in the Golden Scale Association more than ten years in advance, understood their weaknesses, and even planted hidden diseases in their bodies years in advance. "

"So when he knew that the expelled female disciple had Xu Taiping's weakness, he agreed to her conditions on the spot, and then the scene you saw during today's competition."

Mu Yuchen explained the information she had obtained to Mu Yun and Ji Ye in great detail.

Mu Yun was silent for a long time after hearing this, and then he said:

"The person who released this news concealed the most critical part."

"Which part?" Mu Yuchen was a little confused when he heard this.

"How did the ancestor of Xuan Dao successfully avoid the complicated commandments on the Golden Scale List?" Mu Yun said with a solemn expression.

After Mu Yun reminded him, Mu Yuchen also discovered this, with a look of surprise in his eyes.

"The scheming and planning of the Xuandao Ancestor can be found in many sects and forces in the Five Directions World. They have not succeeded over the years. The main reason is still limited by the rules of the Golden Scale Ranking."

"The Xuandao Sect's success this time must have found a way to circumvent the rules of the Golden Scale List. This is the most terrifying thing."

Mu Yun murmured.

"By the way, why was Xu Taiping not afraid of the threat of the Xuan Dao Sect in the end? What's going on?"

Mu Yun suddenly asked Mu Yuchen again.

"This matter... is a bit mysterious."

Mu Yuchen frowned and hesitated for a moment before saying:

"Just today, Xiliang's spies lurking in the Izumo Kingdom came to report that the Mad Wolf Village, a branch of Xuandao Sect that was expelled, was suddenly besieged by a group of Buddhist Zen practitioners."

"As far as I know, the Crazy Wolf Village has surrendered to the Heavenly Wolf King a long time ago, right? It's normal for it to be besieged by Buddhist Zen cultivators."

Mu Yun was a little puzzled.

"It would be just an ordinary Buddhist meditation practice, but this time, among the meditation practitioners who besieged the Crazy Wolf Village, there was a Vajra Realm eminent monk from Yunyin Temple and eighteen sutra keepers."

Mu Yuchen whispered.

"Eighteen scripture keepers?" Upon hearing this, Mu Yun also had a surprised look on his face.

"That's not all. In addition to Yunyin Temple in Xiliang, all the abbots of the five major Zen temples in Izumo Kingdom have also gone!"

Mu Yuchen continued.

"Such a big battle just to deal with a crazy wolf village?"

Mu Yun was very puzzled.

"No, what does this have to do with Xu Taiping?"

He suddenly realized that what Mu Yuchen said had nothing to do with Xu Taiping's competition.

"Those spies said that because there was a barrier around Crazy Wolf Valley, they didn't know what happened inside Crazy Wolf Village. But when these monks appeared, there was a woman covered in wounds among the team. Also, judging from his accent, he doesn’t sound like a monk from Youyuntian, but more like he comes from Zhenwutian.”

Mu Yuchen explained to Mu Yun.

"So you think that the woman rescued by the cooperation between Yunyin Temple and the five major temples of Izumo Kingdom is Xu Taiping's friend?"

Mu Yun stared at Mu Yuchen and said.

"So I think it's a bit mysterious..."

Mu Yuchen said helplessly.

"Let's inquire about this matter slowly. The most important thing at the moment is the next competition."

Mu Yun looked back at the spiritual mirror on the table, and then continued:

"None of the next fifteen people are ordinary people. From the next round, Xiaoye will probably start to be targeted by monks from other sects."

As he spoke, he glanced at the boy next to him again.

"Don't worry, senior brother, it's already the sixth round, there's no need to hide it anymore."

The young man smiled lightly.

Mu Yun nodded appreciatively at the young man's calmness.

"Speaking of which, there are fifteen people in this round. If Xiaoye is lucky, he may not have to fight and can directly enter the next round."

Mu Yuchen said with anticipation.
