Mortal bone

Qiyuexuan, atrium.

"So, Bai Yu is not in danger at the moment, but is just lurking near the courtyard where the Peacock King is imprisoned, right sister Lingyue?"

Standing in the middle of the courtyard, Xu Taiping looked at the spirit body of Fairy Lingyue in the bamboo forest and asked.

"Correct."

Sister Lingyue nodded, then smiled and explained to Xu Taiping in detail:

"He probably sneaked out when I used my divine sense to help you deal with the demon god's remnant body, but before that, I secretly hid a bamboo leaf on him. As long as the distance is not beyond Yunlu Mountain, his every move I can feel it."

Hearing this, Xu Taiping was completely relieved.

"However, I just heard Bai Yu muttering that within three days, Xianlusi will release the peacock king, and there may be a peacock demon clan to rob the prison."

Fairy Lingyue said again.

"Then it's time for me to come back."

Xu Taiping nodded.

"Is your body okay?"

Fairy Lingyue looked at Xu Taiping worriedly.

During this period of time, Xu Taiping was in the Immortal Gourd Secret Realm, dealing with demon cultivators and other sect disciples, but he never stopped.

"There is this pot of spiritual spring sent by Lay Yuqing, and I can make a medicinal soup at night, and it should be able to recover."

Xu Taiping replied confidently.

He tasted this spirit spring on the way back. Although the potency of the medicine is not as strong as that of gentian wine, it is better than the potency of the potion, which is very suitable for recuperating the body after the war.

"Your current physique and recovery ability are stronger."

Fairy Lingyue also nodded.

"However, after observing it for the past few days, I feel that the peacock matter may be a bureau."

She suddenly looked at Xu Taiping with a serious face.

"Sister Lingyue, do you think that someone is using the Peacock King to lure someone out?"

After these few experiences, Xu Taiping looked at problems no longer as purely as when he first went up the mountain, so he quickly understood what Sister Lingyue meant.

"Yes." Fairy Lingyue nodded.

"The only ones who can do this game are the sect leader or the first peak master. The key is who they are doing this game for. Bai Yu? They probably still look down on Bai Yu, could it be that..."

Xu Taiping lowered his head and began to think, a moment later he suddenly raised his head to look at Fairy Lingyue: "Could it be Uncle Bai Hong?"

"Earlier, your second senior brother said that Bai Hong had a chance with Uncle Jiu in the northern border. I suspect that he is going to break through to the Supreme Demon Realm, and your sect leader obviously knows this. He is afraid of Bai Hong's revenge. That's why we set up this trick to lure Bai Hong into taking the bait, and want to take this opportunity to get rid of him."

Sister Lingyue guessed.

"Has Bai Yu also guessed this?"

Xu Taiping suddenly frowned.

"He's not stupid, and he should have seen some clues."

Fairy Lingyue nodded.

"That's why he was in such a hurry to kill the Peacock King, because even if he couldn't kill him, he would still be able to destroy the master's plan."

Xu Taiping murmured.

"Actually, your head is fishing with a straight hook, but the problem is that neither Bai Yu nor Bai Hong can refuse the bait on his hook."

Fairy Lingyue smiled wryly.

"That's right, their father and son must avenge the murder of their mother and wife, and Bai Yu can't just watch his father Bai Hong fall into the trap of the master."

Xu Taiping nodded.

"So I suggest that instead of being the praying mantis catching cicadas with Bai Yu, you and I might as well just sit back and watch what happens, and be the oriole that shows up at the end. This can not only help Bai Yu and his father and son at a critical moment, but also help them out." Can take the initiative to retreat from the whole body."

Fairy Lingyue suggested.

"no problem."

Xu Taiping nodded.

"Actually, there is another reason why I told you not to rush to find Bai Yu." Fairy Lingyue smiled and pointed to the two straight bamboos beside her, "Tomorrow night at the latest, these two bamboos will be It will be fully mature, and when you take the weapon in the bamboo fruit and I regain my freedom, I will have a better chance of winning."

"Can you mature tomorrow night?"

Xu Taiping was a little surprised.

If sister Lingyue hadn't reminded him, he would have almost forgotten about the bamboo fruit.

"Not surprisingly, it will be a spirit weapon. The probability of a sword will be higher, but it may also be a knife or other weapons. The worst case is a spirit treasure-level armor."

Fairy Lingyue said.

Even if the necessary nutrients are prepared, no one can be sure what will grow out of the ground fruit.

"It's the best weapon, but if it's something else, there's nothing I can do about it."

Xu Taiping thought very openly.

"It's the best you can think of."

Fairy Lingyue nodded.

In fact, she really wanted to say that no matter what is produced in that bamboo tree, the harvest of this time when the ground fruit matures is huge.

Because thanks to this bamboo fruit, her soul has been completely stabilized, and she no longer has to worry about it breaking.

In this way, there are many places where Xu Taiping can be helped.

"Peace!"

"Little brother, why don't you say anything when you come back."

"Junior Brother, come and open the door, we have brought food and wine."

At this moment, outside Qiyuexuan's courtyard, the shouts of Zhao Linglong and several senior brothers suddenly sounded.

Hearing this, Xu Taiping's serious face suddenly softened.

"Sister Lingyue, I'll go see my senior sister and senior brother first, and I have something to ask you for advice later."

He smiled and looked at Fairy Lingyue and said.

"Well, I also want to make some preparations for the exit."

Fairy Lingyue nodded.

……

The gate of the courtyard.

Xu Taiping walked quickly to the door and opened the courtyard door.

"Senior Sister Linglong, Senior Sister, Second Senior Brother, why are you all here?"

What surprised him was that not only Zhao Linglong and Qing Xiao came here today, but also senior sisters who seldom show up on weekdays, and several other senior brothers and sisters.
