Mortal Bones

When Venerable Xuan Lei saw Xu Taiping's expression change, he immediately asked curiously:

"Little Taoist friend, before this, did you have any friends who had already set off for the Yaochi Secret Realm?"

Xu Taiping nodded, and then asked curiously:

"Senior, have you ever met anyone from the Xiahou clan of Yuheng Mountain?"

Venerable Xuan Lei was somewhat surprised and said:

"Has Xiahou from Yuheng Mountain come too?"

After a brief moment of surprise, Venerable Xuan Lei shook his head at Xu Taiping with regret and said:

"My dear fellow Taoist, I have never met anyone from the Xiahou clan in Kaiyang Heaven."

He added:

"But you don't have to worry too much. I said before that Kaiyangtian had been occupied by the Filthy Bones long before the Yaochi Holy Land was opened, but according to my investigation, I know."

“These filthy bones that occupied Kaiyangtian hundreds of years ago have actually been dormant for many years.

"It was not until a few days ago that a cultivator came here for the Yaochi Holy Land and woke it up by accident."

"Moreover, these filthy bones actually awakened in batches, and their locations were spread all over Kaiyangtian."

“Therefore, the first group of cultivators who came to Kaiyangtian to look for the entrance to the secret realm were actually relatively safe.”

Xu Taiping secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

However, he immediately realized another problem and asked:

"Senior, do you know if there are any foul bones mixed in with the Yaochi Secret Realm?"

Upon hearing this question, Venerable Xuan Lei said solemnly:

“Although I have not had the chance to enter yet, I have met several cultivators from Yaochi Holy Land in Kaiyangtian after being attacked by the Filthy Bones.”

"According to what these monks said."

“Although I’m not sure if they are filthy bones, a monster that looks like an immortal skeleton did appear in the Yao Chi Holy Land.”

"And they accidentally broke into a secret room in Yaochi Holy Land because they were trying to avoid the immortal corpse."

"Plus, a few people were unlucky."

"We had just walked out of the Yaochi Holy Land when we fell into the lair of a powerful foul bone. We tried our best to escape with serious injuries."

"But even so, several people eventually died one after another due to the erosion of the foul bone power in their bodies."

After hearing what Venerable Xuan Lei said, Great Sage Tianshu turned to look at Xu Taiping, took a deep breath and said:

"As expected, this Yao Chi Holy Land has also been occupied by the Filthy Bones."

Xu Taiping nodded slightly, then frowned and said:

“But I don’t have a choice now.”

The Great Sage Tianshu naturally understood Xu Taiping's meaning, and nodded slightly:

"As long as you don't retreat, I will accompany you on this journey."

Upon hearing this, Venerable Xuan Lei said nervously:

"I have explained it so clearly, why do you two still insist on going? The more these Bone Devouring Monks there are, the stronger they are. The dangers of this journey are far beyond what I can explain in a few words."

As he spoke, he took a deep breath and frowned:

"I'm not exaggerating! After you go down, you will be buried in the belly of the filthy bones before you even reach the entrance of the Yaochi Holy Land!"

Xu Taiping shook his head and said:

"Thank you for the reminder, but I have reasons why I have to go."

Seeing Xu Taiping's firm attitude, the Xuan Lei Master sighed and shook his head helplessly:

"Since you have made up your mind, little brother, there is no point in me saying anything more."

As he spoke, he looked at Xu Taiping with a hint of pleading in his eyes and said:

"But before you two go, please help me take out the immortal boat from my ring and send me back."

"I only hope to inform the cultivation world of the news from Kaiyangtian before the power of the foul bones takes effect."

The Great Sage Tianshu nodded and said:

"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Xuan Yin. We will definitely make sure you are settled before we leave."

As he said this, he turned his head to look at Mo Qingzhu behind him and added:

"If you can successfully draw a purification talisman next, the dirty bone power in your body can be purified by at least 30%, and the remaining dirty bone power will be suppressed for more than ten days, which is enough to support you to return to Xuanxiao Sect."

Hearing this, Venerable Xuan Lei immediately said with gratitude:

"Thank you, Elder Ding, and thank you, Taoist Taiping."

At this moment, accompanied by a rumbling sound of breaking through the air, several red rays of light shot out from the Kaiyang Sky below, which had become a ruined star.

At the same time, a series of auras that were very similar to the aura of the previous skeleton suddenly covered the sky and earth.

Venerable Xuan Lei, who was lying on the immortal boat, felt this breath and his expression suddenly changed:

"It's the dirty bones!!!"

Xu Taiping and the Great Saint Tianshou looked at the red light from afar.

Just as Venerable Xuan Lei said, wrapped in those balls of blood-red light were actually piles of filthy bones with strange and ugly appearances.

And among these dirty bones.

What attracted Xu Taiping at first sight was a woman with long golden hair, half of whose body was that of an immortal and the other half was that of a normal woman.

Its skin is as white as porcelain, and it has a pair of scarlet eyes.

Holding a sharp sword in his hand.

In addition, this half-skeleton, half-human skeleton has a pair of red wings behind it.

"Bang!……"

At this moment, there was a huge crash sound.

One of the filthy bones that flew the farthest seemed to have hit an invisible barrier heavily, and its flesh and bones were shattered and fell off.

“Hiss——!!!”

At this moment, the filthy bones that looked like a beautiful woman suddenly opened their mouths and let out a shrill roar similar to the sound of metal rubbing against stone.

Soon, the several evil bones that were originally flying in all directions flew back to the evil bone with red wings.

Seeing this, everyone on the immortal boat had a look of surprise on their faces.

Xu Taiping couldn't help but asked curiously:

"Could this filthy skeleton that looks like a beautiful woman be the leader of the other filthy skeletons?"

Venerable Xuan Lei, who was originally lying in the immortal boat, suddenly changed his expression after hearing Xu Taiping's words, and said with a look of fear on his face:

"A filthy skeleton shaped like a beautiful woman?!"

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand towards Xu Taiping and said:

"Little Taoist Taiping, help me sit up quickly so that I can see if it is the filthy bone!"

Upon hearing this, although Xu Taiping was still confused, he still helped Venerable Xuan Lei up.

Venerable Xuan Lei supported his body with his hands, raised his head, and used his eyesight to look at the filthy skeleton that looked like a woman from afar.

After just one glance, I heard Xuan Lei Zun say with great certainty:

"It's definitely it! Red-eyed Filthy Bones! It was it that used its own chaotic power to seal up the entire sky of Kaiyangtian, making it impossible for cultivators to fly in it!!"
