Mortal Bones

Xu Taiping and Lu Rushuang looked at each other.

The two of them guessed something, but they tacitly disagreed.

"Master Qiu, you are a little bit embarrassing to this junior. If you have anything to say, please sit down and say it slowly."

Xu Taiping stood up and asked Qiu Shanyuan to sit down again.

"Could it be that you two have already recognized that thing?"

Qiu Shanyuan was a little surprised by the reactions of Xu Taiping and Lu Rushuang.

"Master Qiu, please tell me first why you want Taiping to kill the ink crow chick in the next competition."

Lu Rushuang neither admitted nor refuted.

Hearing this, Qiu Shanyuan nodded first, took out a gold coin from his arms and placed it on the table.

Under the light of this candle, you can vaguely see circles of light spreading out from this ancient gold coin.

Immediately, Xu Taiping and Lu Rushuang felt that their souls were isolated from the outside world.

Obviously, this fine coin is also a treasure used to isolate the outside world, and its grade is not low.

"Master Lu and Mr. Xu must have heard of the demon species, right?"

Qiu Shanyuan got straight to the point.

Xu Taiping looked at Lu Rushuang again.

Their guesses were correct.

"Taiping, don't talk. I'll talk to him."

Lu Rushuang sent a message to Xu Taiping into the secret passage.

"Thank you for your help, little sister-in-law."

Xu Taiping responded in his heart.

No matter what the purpose of Palace Master Qiu was in asking him to kill the crow chicks, letting Junior Sister talk about this matter first would leave him a lot of room.

"Of course, but Master Qiu, what does this have to do with the next competition?"

Lu Rushuang looked at Qiu Shanyuan with very confused eyes.

"There is a Jiuyuan demon seed hidden in the body of the ink crow chick. Once the demon seed is completely awakened, not only Nanchu but the entire Youyuntian will fall into a disaster."

Qiu Shanyuan did not hide it from Lu Rushuang and Xu Taiping.

This frankness made Lu Rushuang and Xu Taiping feel a little relieved.

"May I ask Palace Master, how did you find out about this matter?"

Lu Rushuang poured a cup of tea for Qiu Shanyuan.

As far as she knew, Master Xuanzhi only informed Youyun Mansion that a demon had infiltrated the Golden Scale Society through Yunyin Temple. At that time, no one knew who the demon was possessing.

At this moment, the calm expressions on the faces of Lu Rushuang and Xu Taiping once again confirmed to Qiu Shanyuan that the two people in front of them had also noticed the demon seed on the crow's body.

After confirming this, Qiu Shanyuan's eyes towards the two of them and the considerations in his mind became more cautious.

"Initially, the Golden Scale List sensed the aura of the monster, but we didn't know that the monster had infiltrated among the disciples participating in the Golden Scale Association."

"Some time ago, the abbot of Yunyin Temple sent someone to remind us, so we began to narrow the scope of the investigation from the entire city's monks to the disciples who are still participating in the competition."

"The reason why we are really sure that the demonic seed is in the body of the ink crow chick is because during today's competition, after the ink crow chick used the Heavenly Creation Technique, the Mo family giant in Xuanhuangtian sent a message to me, saying that the crow chick has Question, I just asked the old Dragon King who was sleeping at the bottom of the Golden Scale Pond to investigate, and it turned out that the Old Dragon King really smelled the scent of the Nine Abyss Demon Seed on him."

Qiu Shanyuan told the truth to the two about the process of discovering the Jiuyuan Demon Seed, with almost no concealment.

"Actually, I asked the Old Dragon King to investigate before this, but the demonic aura was well hidden, and not even the Old Dragon King could sense it."

He then added.

When Lu Rushuang heard this, she nodded with a look of astonishment on her face, and then continued:

"Master Qiu, with all due respect, not to mention the large number of cultivators gathered in the capital at the moment, I'm afraid you, Youyun Palace, have many means to deal with that demon species, right?"

Hearing this, Qiu Shanyuan sighed and said:

"The demon species that appeared this time is different. It is an extremely rare Jiuyuan Xuanhuo demon species. This demon species has a kind of disaster power. Once it is released, let alone ordinary people, even some monks may not be able to resist it."

"But fortunately, this evil demon species is sleeping most of the time. As long as it is not disturbed, the power of disaster will not be released."

"And it will only awaken its own power step by step by using the possessed person to defeat its opponent."

"If it loses in a competition or a fight with others, the demon will abandon the body and continue to sleep until the next person who can possess it appears."

"So the least expensive way to deal with this kind of demon is to defeat it before it wakes up."

Because it involved the reason why Xu Taiping was asked to kill the crow chick, Qiu Shanyuan was very detailed when explaining the matter.

This is almost consistent with Lu Rushuang's explanation of Xu Taiping.

"But Lord Palace Master, you have also seen in today's competition that the strength of the Mo Crow chick may not be inferior to Taiping. This time he defeated the Dongfang girl again, and his strength may increase exponentially."

"So this competition is incomparable at all. If you want to kill that demon species in peace, I'm afraid you can't do it."

Lu Rushuang sighed.

What she said at this moment was addressed not only to the master of the palace, Qiu Shanyuan, but also to Xu Taiping.

If possible, she naturally wanted Xu Taiping to try his best to win the next round. After all, this would be of great benefit to Xu Taiping, Zhenwutian, and Qingxuanzong.

But since it was a contest in which she was bound to lose or even die, she thought there was no need to gamble.

There is no need to worry about having no firewood to burn the green hills. After all, life is the most important thing.

"Mr. Xu, if Miss Dongfang hadn't summoned your shadow in front of Tianhai Pass today, I would never come to you knowing that I couldn't do anything."

Qiu Shanyuan did not give up, but turned to look at Xu Taiping solemnly.

"Why did Lord Qiu say this?"

Xu Taiping was a little confused.
