Mortal Bones

At this time, the Great Sage Tianshu added:

"Of course, the premise is that our plan remains unchanged and we still have to go to the Yaochi Holy Land."

Xu Taiping nodded slightly, put Xiao Hei into his sleeve, then looked at the Great Sage Tianshu and said:

"Great Sage, let's go back to the Immortal Boat and discuss this first."

The Great Sage Tianshu nodded, then looked at the extremely weak Xuanlei Venerable in front of him, took a deep breath and said:

"Judging from the fighting power of this filthy bone just now, we need to have a serious discussion."

…

"Ding... Elder Ding! Taiping... Taoist friend Taiping!"

Seeing Xu Taiping and Tianshou Dasheng return to the immortal boat, Mo Qingzhu finally let go of the worry in his heart.

Xu Taiping nodded slightly.

The Great Sage Tianshou carefully put down the remains of the Venerable Xuanlei in his hand on the boat.

Then, the Great Sage Tianshu looked up at the somewhat bewildered Mo Qingzhu and said:

"Qingzhu, can you draw the altar purification talisman?"

Mo Qingzhu thought about it seriously, then nodded and said:

Xu Taiping, who was standing by, heard this and immediately took out a piece of golden millet paper from his ring, then handed it to Mo Qingzhu and said:

"What if it is painted on gold millet paper?"

Mo Qingzhu glanced at the golden millet paper in Xu Taiping's hand, smiled bitterly and said:

"If I use golden millet paper, I may indeed be able to draw a purification altar talisman of the immortal level."

As he spoke, he suddenly scratched his head and stammered:

"But, but, but in this case, it seems...it seems...somewhat..."

Before Mo Qingzhu could finish his words, Xu Taiping stuffed the golden millet paper into his hand and said seriously:

“No waste!”

Hearing this, Mo Qingzhu nodded immediately and said:

"well!"

As he spoke, Mo Qingzhu took out the talisman pen and ink, sat down on the ground, and began to look at the golden millet paper in front of him motionlessly.

Xu Taiping did not disturb Mo Qingzhu, but turned to look at the Great Sage Tianshu who was checking the injury of the Venerable Xuan Lei, and asked:

"Great Sage, if there is no Altar Purification Talisman, what will happen to this Xuan Lei Venerable?"

The Great Sage Tianshu stuffed a pill into the mouth of Venerable Xuanlei, then turned to look at Xu Taiping and said solemnly:

"Although the filthy bone just died, the filthy bone power it left on Venerable Xuan Lei will still turn Venerable Xuan Lei into a walking corpse that only knows how to devour blood."

Xu Taiping frowned and said:

"Isn't that a ghoul?"

The Great Sage Tianshu nodded and said:

“Although they are quite different, it is not wrong to say that they are corpse ghosts from the Land of Chaos.”

At this time, Venerable Xuan Lei, who had fallen into a coma, suddenly started coughing violently.

The Great Sage Tianshou placed his hand on his chest.

As streams of pure true energy were injected into his body, Venerable Xuan Lei finally stopped coughing and his eyes brightened.

After seeing Xu Taiping and the Great Sage Tianshu clearly, the Venerable Xuan Lei immediately said with gratitude:

"Xuan Yin thanks you two for your rescue!"

The Great Sage Tianshu said calmly:

"You're welcome."

His appearance had changed at this moment, so even though Venerable Xuan Lei had met him several times, he still did not recognize him.

Xu Taiping asked curiously:

"Old senior, what exactly happened in Kaiyangtian down there?"

Venerable Xuan Lei was about to answer Xu Taiping, but he suddenly thought of something and asked the two of them nervously:

"Where are we now, you two?"

He immediately added:

"You two may not know that there are far more evil bones chasing after me than just the one just now!"

The Great Sage Tianshou said with a smile:

"Don't worry, my immortal boat is protected by the Sky Escape Talisman, and those filthy bones can't find this place."

Venerable Xuan Lei nodded upon hearing this, but still a little worried:

"A Sky Escape Talisman can only hide for the duration of an incense stick, right?"

The Great Sage Tianshu took out two more Tiandun Talismans from his sleeves and said with a smile:

"Although there isn't much left, it should be enough."

Hearing this, the Xuan Lei Master finally felt relieved, heaved a long sigh, then nodded and said:

"Then I can have a good talk with you."

Immediately, Venerable Xuan Lei looked at Xu Taiping and Great Saint Tianshou respectively and said:

"What are your names, fellow Taoists?"

The Great Sage Tianshu said calmly:

"My last name is Ding."

Xu Taiping did not hide anything:

"My surname is Xu and my name is Taiping."

Venerable Xuan Lei nodded, and did not continue to ask about the identities of the two. Instead, he sighed and said:

"My surname is Tan Tai, my given name is Xuan Yin, and my Taoist name is Xuan Lei Zun Zhe. I am the Grand Elder of Xuan Xiao Sect."

"This trip to Kaiyangtian was originally to protect several Xuanxiao Sect disciples and go to the secret Yaochi Holy Land together."

When he said this, Venerable Xuan Lei took a deep breath again, and then he spoke:

"But before we could even enter the Yaochi Holy Land, we were besieged by a group of dozens of filthy skeletons."

When Xu Taiping heard this, he frowned and said:

"Dozens of filthy bones?"

Venerable Xuan Lei nodded and said:

"That's right."

He continued:

“Although most of these dozens of filthy skeletons are not as powerful as the one just now, we are still no match for them because there are too many of them.”

"Because of one of the filthy bones, we have been unable to fly since we landed in Kaiyangtian."

"So even if you want to escape from Kaiyangtian, there is no way."

When he said this, Venerable Xuan Lei looked up at Xu Taiping and Great Sage Tianshou, and then said with a serious face:

"This is also the reason why Kaiyangtian is almost completely occupied by the Filthy Bones, but the outside world is completely unaware of it."

Xu Taiping heard this and said secretly:

"I remember that Miss Xiahou and the others had also arrived at the entrance of the Yaochi Holy Land a long time ago. Could it be that..."

So he frowned and asked Venerable Xuan Lei:

"Senior, you just said that a long time ago, this Kaiyangtian had been occupied by the Filthy Bones."

"When exactly?"

Venerable Xuan Lei seemed to see the worry in Xu Taiping's heart, and immediately sighed and said:

"If nothing unexpected happens, this Kaiyangtian has already been occupied by the foul bones long before the gate to Yaochi Holy Land was opened."

Xu Taiping was shocked and said:

"Could it be that Miss Xiahou and the others have also... met with misfortune?!"
