Chapter 2319
by Moonlit_Scholar_C A moment later.
The Dry Stone Sea, by the Xingluo Lake.
“Rumble！ ……”
Amidst two deafening air explosion sounds, Xiang Nantian and Qi Haitang, hand in hand, soared into the sky and broke through the void, disappearing above the blue sky curtain.
It was not until seeing the figures of the two completely disappear that Xu Taiping took back his gaze.
“Brother Taiping！”
“Brother Taiping.”
And at this time, Dongfang Yuejian and Master Xuanzhi successively came to the side of Xu Taiping.
Xu Taiping turned his head to look at the two and asked with some concern：
“Miss Dongfang, Master Xuanzhi, how are the injuries on your two bodies？”
Dongfang Yuejian immediately shook her head and said：
“My injury is not serious. It’s just that Master Xuanzhi has consumed too much of his soul and qi and blood and needs to rush back to Jiashe Temple to rest as soon as possible.”
Upon hearing this, Xu Taiping immediately took out two Yaoguang Fruits, held one in each hand, and handed them to Dongfang Yuejian and Xuanzhi, saying：
“These are the spiritual fruits just given to me by Brother Xiang and Sister Haitang. They can relieve the injuries on your two bodies.”
Dongfang Yuejian and Xuanzhi glanced at the surrounding monks who were somewhat “eyeing covetously” and immediately were not polite. They both took the spiritual fruits in Xu Taiping’s hands.
At present, everyone knows that the star map is in Xu Taiping’s hands. If they don’t quickly improve their cultivation, when the barrier opens later, maybe these people will come forward and snatch it.
But just as Dongfang Yuejian and Xuanzhi picked up the Yaoguang Fruits and were about to eat them, Xu Taiping glanced around and asked with some confusion：
“Where did those four youngsters from Xuanyu and Xuanghuangtian go？”
Originally, after he entered the Kuilong Pagoda, he asked Dongfang Yuejian and Xuanzhi to look after the unconscious Duan Xiaoyu and the others. But now, aside from the three of them, there is no one else within the surrounding barrier.
Dongfang Yuejian put down the Yaoguang Fruit in her hand and explained to Xu Taiping：
“Duan Xiaoyu has been picked up by Valkyrie Jiang Cuicui, and the four youngsters from Xuanghuangtian have also been sent to the Old Dragon Court for treatment by the people from Xuanghuangtian.”
Xuanzhi beside her also added at this time：
“We felt that handing them over to Valkyrie Jiang Cuicui and the people from Xuanghuangtian was far safer than leaving them by our side, so we agreed.”
Xu Taiping looked around the surroundings and then nodded as well, saying：
“Indeed.”
Although there was the barrier set up by Xiang Nantian, Xu Taiping could still see the thick greedy and fanatical colors in the eyes of the cultivators who gathered around.
Dongfang Yuejian, who was holding the Yaoguang Fruit, also furrowed her brows and said at this time：
“These people should have calculated that our true essence and qi and blood are exhausted, which is why they dare to come forward.”
Xu Taiping smiled bitterly and said：
”Greed is indeed one of the three poisons of Buddhism. Clearly having seen the knife I used earlier and the cultivation base and combat power of Brother Xiang and Sister Haitang, yet still daring to take risks at this moment.”
And as he was speaking, the barrier that Qi Haitang had previously set up around the Dragon-Slaying Tablet with talismans also shattered with a “bang” at this time.
Seeing this, Dongfang Yuejian and Master Xuanzhi immediately didn’t care about eating that spiritual fruit and immediately circulated the remaining true essence in their bodies to be on guard.
After seeing the vigilant appearance of the two, Xu Taiping looked at the Yaoguang fruits in their hands that they hadn’t had time to eat and immediately smiled and said：
”Miss Dongfang, Master Xuanzhi, don’t be nervous.”
As he spoke, he even handed a jade slip to Dongfang Yuejian and then explained：
”This was left for you by Sister Haitang. There are several methods of drawing divine will talismans that she knows in it.”
Dongfang Yuejian’s eyes first lit up, and then she was a little at a loss and said：
”This… such a precious thing, that senior just gave it to me like this？”
Before Xu Taiping could explain, he saw dozens of cultivators with extremely powerful auras all around them, carrying the “rumbling” sound of breaking through the air, and all flew to the front of Xu Taiping and them.
Looking at the cultivator at the head again, Xu Taiping suddenly felt a little complicated and said：
“Elder Lu, you and your Ferocious Grotto really are like lingering ghosts.”
That’s right, the person who came was precisely Elder Lu in the purple robe of the Ferocious Grotto, as well as Green, Thousand Silks, and several powerful individuals from the Ferocious Grotto who had come down from the lower realm.
Elder Lu in the purple robe of the Ferocious Grotto coldly smiled and said：
“Xu Taiping, it is you who are like a lingering ghost.”
At this time, another elder in the purple robe of the Ferocious Grotto also stepped forward and straightforwardly stretched out his hand to Xu Taiping and said：
“Hand it over！”
Although Xu Taiping knew what this person wanted, he still deliberately pretended not to know：
“What？”
The short and fat, fierce-faced elder in the purple robe, after giving Xu Taiping a fierce glare, said coldly：
“The Celestial Palace Star Map Stone！”
Ordinarily, Xu Taiping wouldn’t have bothered to waste words with these people, but just after parting ways with the Haitang couple, he happened to find these people to vent the full feeling of melancholy in his heart. So he still pretended not to know：
“The Celestial Palace Star Map Stone？ I’ve never even heard of it.”
After hearing these words, the short and fat elder in the purple robe of the Ferocious Grotto immediately said with an angry face：
“Don’t think that just because you can cut open the ice-sealing power of that devil god with one knife, we can’t do anything to you！”
As he spoke, he was seen turning his head to look behind him and loudly said：
“Everyone, the Star Map Stone is in this kid’s hands. What are you still hesitating about？ Are you all going to return to the upper realm empty-handed？”
As soon as these words were spoken, dozens of upper realm cultivators who had originally been watching from the rear successively broke through the air and flew over.
“Rumble…”
The auras of nearly a hundred upper realm cultivators combined, immediately causing the ground to tremble.
Facing this powerful aura, Xu Taiping not only did not show any fear, but instead murmured with burning eyes：
“It seems that I can have a good fight.”
At this time, only heard the savage elder raise the corner of his mouth and look at Xu Taiping with a proud look and say:
“Everyone, although this kid has two powerful backers, in terms of backers, who can be stronger than us upper realm cultivators？”
“I, Ferocious Cave Purple Robe Iron Fiend guarantee to everyone today that as long as it is an upper realm cultivator who is willing to take action, after capturing this kid and seizing the Star Map Stone in his hand, all can share this Star Map Stone!
As soon as these words were spoken, all the upper realm cultivators had burning eyes and stared at Xu Taiping and the other three like a group of “hungry wolves”.
And Xu Taiping just took out another Yaoguang Fruit and then turned to look at Xuanzhi and Dongfang Yuejian on the side and said：
“Master Xuanzhi, Miss Dongfang, you can eat that spiritual fruit now.”
In the astonished gazes of the two people, Xu Taiping added another sentence and said：
“This is the Yaoguang Fruit that bears fruit once every three thousand years.”
“After taking it, it is enough to completely replenish the lost qi, blood, true essence, and soul power of the two of you.”
