　　“This Xu Taichong must have taken the son stone to pursue the arsonist himself. In this way, even if he finally died at the hands of the arsonist, the identity and evidence of the arsonist could still be left in the mother stone of the Moon Shadow Stone.”
　　The Fairy Lingyue saw through Xu Taichong’s intention at a glance.
“Knowing that there was no hope of return, he still pursued without hesitation, just to leave me a clue.”
“Unexpectedly, people worldly and cowardly would also give birth to a descendant as affectionate and righteous as Xu Taichong.”
　　Xu Taiping stroked the Moon Shadow Stone mother stone in his hand and muttered with some emotion.
　　“Great-uncle, what exactly is the use of this stone left by father？”
　　Xu Chenglin looked at the Moon Shadow Stone in Xu Taiping’s hand with great curiosity.
　　Xu Taiping looked at Xu Chenglin and then explained to him, “If your father is still alive, this stone will be an important clue for us to find him.”
　　“If my father has already died, what is recorded in this stone will be the last scene before his death？”
　　This Xu Chenglin was very intelligent and immediately understood the use of this Moon Shadow Stone.
　　“That’s right.” Xu Taiping nodded.
　　“Great-uncle, can you let me see it？”
　　Xu　Chenglin　pleaded.
　　“Are　you　sure？”
　　Xu　Taiping　frowned.
　　The cultivator who came to set fire to True Martial Heaven this time has a cultivation base of at least the Divine Refinement Realm. Xu Taiping, an ordinary martial artist, would almost certainly die if he encountered them.”
　　So the scene recorded in this Moon Shadow Stone is most likely the picture of Xu Taichong being tortured and killed by the arson cultivator.”
　　“Grand-uncle, whether father is alive or dead, I want to know what exactly happened that night later.”
　　Xu Chengling’s attitude was very firm.
　　“Okay.”
　　After looking at Xu Chengling for a while, Xu Taiping finally agreed.
　　Immediately, he firmly held the Moon Shadow Stone and injected a strand of True Yuan into it.
　　“Boom…”
　　Accompanied by a slight air explosion sound, a phantasm suddenly appeared above the hand that Xu Taiping was holding the Moon Shadow Stone.
　　In the phantasm , a man wearing a bamboo hat and with a full beard was running all the way in the ruins of the mountain forest while holding the handle of the long knife at his waist.
　　“It’s father！”
　　Seeing the figure of this man clearly, Xu Chengling couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise.
　　There is no doubt that the man with a full beard is Xu Chengling’s father, Xu Taichong.
　　And almost at the same time, above the ruins of the mountain forest in the phantasm , a fireball suddenly fell from the sky.
　　“Bang！”
　　At the critical moment, Xu Taichong rolled forward and barely avoided this fireball.
　　“Ceng！”
　　At the same time, Xu Taichong pulled out the long knife at his waist and slashed at an open space in front of him.
　　As a result, a fair-faced man in white clothes appeared on the originally empty ground. The long knife in Xu Taichong’s hand was blocked by the body-protecting qi around the man.
　　“I wonder who it is. It turns out to be just an ordinary-boned warrior.”
　　The man in white looked at Xu Taichong in front of him with a look of disdain.
　　“Boom！”
　　At this time, the qi around Xu Taichong suddenly burst and dissipated, and finally all turned into saber qi and gathered on the long knife in his hand.
　　“Villain, looking down on ordinary-boned warriors like this, you will regret it！”
　　Xu Taichong let out a loud shout, then suddenly lifted the long knife in his hand and slashed at the man in white with a fierce saber qi.
　　“Bang！”
With this slash, the layer of body-protecting qi around the man in white shattered.
　　“Boom！”
　　But just as the long knife in Xu Taichong’s hand was about to split the second layer of body-protecting qi of the man in white, a fireball suddenly shot from Xu Taichong’s back, burning through his abdomen and leaving a hole the size of a bowl.
　　Xu Taichong looked at his abdomen burned through by the fireball, and then with a “plop” sound, he fell backward with a look of unwillingness.
　　“Chenglin, my son, Daddy… can’t go back… to pick you up…”
　　After whispering this sentence, Xu Taichong’s body stiffened in place, and those eyes full of unwillingness never closed until his death.
　　When seeing this, Xu Chengling clenched his fists tightly, his body trembled continuously, and tears kept swirling in his eyes.
　　Xu Taiping didn’t say a word, just gently put his hand on his shoulder.
　　And in the shadow of the Moon Shadow Stone in front of the two people, the man in white had already walked to the side of Xu Taichong’s corpse and squatted down. Then, while cutting off Xu Taichong’s head with the dagger in his hand, he picked up a jade slip in his hand and transmitted the voice and said：
　　“Senior Brother Liang, Senior Brother Lu, the person following us is a martial artist who survived by chance and has been killed by me.”
　　“Next, I will go and deal with that little princess of the Great Liang Kingdom.”
　　“If everything goes well, all the traces left by the three of us in the territory of the Great Liang Kingdom will be erased.”
　　“If the assassination is not successful, you don’t have to worry either. Without finding the evidence of my arson, the Nine Mansions can’t do anything to me.”
　　After saying this, the man in white crushed the jade slip in his hand, and then picked up the head of Xu Taichong in his hand and carefully looked at it and said：
　　“I was just worried about how to get into that imperial city ruins, but I didn’t expect someone to send me a face. My luck this year is really good.”
　　After saying this, the man in white grinned, reached out and tore off Xu Taichong’s entire face with a single pull on his head.
　　“Aah！…”
　　Seeing this scene, Xu Chengling finally couldn’t hold back his emotions and let out a terrified scream.
　　“Slap！”
　　Seeing this, Xu Taiping, who was beside him, only slapped him hard on the shoulder, and Xu Chengling’s body went limp.
　　Subsequently, Xu Taiping picked up Xu Chengling, and with a calm expression, he glanced at Fairy Lingyue and said, “Sister Lingyue, let’s go to the ruins of that imperial city.”
