“To be able to take out the corpse of a Ground Calamity Demon Seed as bait, the person who assassinated the owner of Pearl Building probably has even more powerful backhand.
Xu Taiping muttered as he looked at the phantasm projected by the spiritual mirror in front of him.
He wasn’t worried about how to make the people of Pearl Building believe in him and believe that this Yellow Dog Demon Seed was real.
After all, he was the one who smashed the head of this Yellow Dog Demon Seed. This corpse of the Demon Seed couldn’t be more real.
What really worried him was still the blonde youth and the motive for forging the corpse of the Yellow Dog Demon Seed.
If it was just to cheat money from Pearl Building, then he could just sell the corpse of the Demon Seed in his hand to Pearl Building first and didn’t have to pretend it was a Yellow Dog Demon Seed.
So the motive of this person could only be to approach the owner of Pearl Building in the name of offering a reward for the corpse of the Yellow Dog Demon Seed.
”Young Master Wuyou, although I believe that you definitely have no intention of harming our building owner, there is only one corpse of the Yellow Dog Demon Seed, so at least one of the Demon Seed corpses in the hands of the two of you is fake.”
”This concerns the safety of the building owner. Please wait here for a while. I will report to the building owner and then make a decision.”
Shopkeeper Yang explained to Xu Taiping in an extremely sincere tone.
When saying these words, his expression was extremely vigilant. As long as Xu Taiping showed even the slightest hint of hostility, he might make a move.
”That’s fine. I’m not in a hurry.”
Xu Taiping nodded indifferently with a calm expression.
Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper Yang heaved a long sigh of relief in his heart.
“Shopkeeper Yang, I heard that someone brought a demon seed corpse that, like mine, can’t be melted by real fire. Since that’s the case, I have a proposal.”
Just then, in the phantasm projected by the spirit mirror, the voice of the blond youth suddenly rang out.
The shopkeeper Yang, who was about to leave the room where Xu Taiping was and go to report to the building owner, suddenly stopped in his tracks after hearing the words of the blond youth.
“I wonder what proposal you have, Young Master Zhuang Mu？”
The shopkeeper Yang picked up the jade slip and transmitted his voice to Zhuang Mu in another room.
Because Zhuang Mu’s room couldn’t see the situation in this room, so he just took this opportunity to observe that Zhuang Mu and see if he could find any flaws in him.
Upon hearing this, Xu Taiping also looked curiously at Zhuang Mu on the other side of the spirit mirror.
Xu Taiping, who had already been able to confirm that the demon seed corpse in Zhuang Mu’s hand was not the Yellow Dog Demon Seed, was very curious about what tricks he was still going to play.
“The Yellow Dog Demon Seed is a Ground Calamity-level demon seed. When I picked it up, I tried it with a Heaven-grade True Fire Talisman, and its body was still intact.”
“So as long as the Pearl Tower tries it with a Heaven-grade True Fire Talisman, it will be able to tell who is real and who is fake.”
Hearing this, the shopkeeper Yang’s eyes lit up, and it was obvious that he was a little moved.
Although the Heaven-grade True Fire Talisman is expensive, within the Dry Stone Sea, compared to the corpse of the Yellow Dog Demon Seed, it is not worth mentioning.
Moreover, this time, apart from distinguishing the authenticity of the two Demon Seed corpses, the Pearl Tower even more wants to find the real culprit who assassinated the owner of the Pearl Tower.
And this is something that the Pearl Tower is willing to do even if it loses money.
”Taiping, this Zhuang Mu is very suspicious.”
After hearing what that Zhuang Mu said, Fairy Lingyue’s expression suddenly turned cold, and she immediately transmitted a voice to Xu Taiping.
“Whereishe suspicious?”
Xu Taiping naturally knew that the “suspicious” in Fairy Lingyue’s mouth did not refer to the motive of that Zhuang Mu for forging the corpse of the Yellow Dog Demon Seed.
”The body of a Earth-Calamity grade Demon Seed can indeed temporarily resist the burning of the Heaven-grade True Fire Talisman, but the prerequisite is that before this Demon Seed died, its physique was not eroded by the fighting will of a cultivator.”
Fairy Lingyue transmitted a voice to Xu Taiping with a solemn tone.
”Regarding this matter, unless it is a high-level Demon Cultivator of the Nine Abysses, or a Demon-Hunting cultivator who knows Demon Cultivators extremely well, very few people can know about it.”
She then added another sentence.
Xu Taiping, who was hearing this statement for the first time, was first surprised, but then a chill immediately rose on his back.
“Sister Lingyue, are you suggesting that this Zhuang Mu’s proposal to test the two demonic seed bodies with the Heavenly Grade True Fire Talisman was not a random act, but rather, after learning the true cause of the death of the Yellow Dog Demonic Seed, he deliberately put it forward？”
Xu Taiping confirmed with a serious expression through spiritual sound transmission to Fairy Lingyue.
If his speculation in his heart was correct, it meant that either that Zhuang Mu or the person behind him was very likely to have been in the Jufeng Tower that day and witnessed the scene where Xu Taiping killed the Yellow Dog Demonic Seed.
“Or perhaps, the person behind this Zhuang Mu is Li Yezhu.”
“All the things he is doing now seem to be proving the authenticity to the Yizhu Tower and seem to be assassinating the owner of the Yizhu Tower, but in reality, he is confirming my identity.”
“Or rather, this million gold essence coin reward for the Yellow Dog Demonic Seed this time is itself a trap he set for me.”
The more Xu Taiping thought about it, the more frightened he became.
If he hadn’t discovered this in time, once that Zhuang Mu confirmed his identity, what he would most likely face next would be the ambush prepared for him by Li Yezhu.
“Young Master Wuyou, I have just asked the building owner for instructions and received a promise that we can use Young Master Zhuang’s method to give it another try. What do you think？”
After spiritual sound transmission with the owner of the Yizhu Tower, Shopkeeper Yang suddenly looked at Xu Taiping.
“It can be tried.” Xu Taiping first agreed with a relaxed expression, and then his tone changed, “But before that, I have a better method to prove the authenticity of my Yellow Dog Demonic Seed.”
”Please enlighten me, Young Master Wuyou.”
The shopkeeper Yang looked at Xu Taiping with a vigilant expression on his face.
At present, among Xu Taiping and that Zhuang Mu, there must be one who came to assassinate the host of Yizhu Tower, so he had to be vigilant.
”There’s nothing to enlighten.” Xu Taiping shook his head. “If you want to confirm my identity and the authenticity of this Yellow Dog Demon Seed, you just need to ask the host of Yizhu Tower to confirm it with a disciple named Xiahou Qingyuan in the Three Emperors Dao Palace.”
If it weren’t for the urgent situation at present, he wouldn’t have wanted to bring out Xiahou Qingyuan either.
As for whether it was possible to get in touch with Xiahou Qingyuan, Xu Taiping believed that with the ability of the host of Yizhu Tower, it was impossible not to be able to do this.
”The Three Emperors Dao Palace… Xiahou Qingyuan？”
The shopkeeper Yang looked surprised when he heard this.
Both the Three Emperors Dao Palace and Xiahou Qingyuan had quite a reputation in the cultivation world of the entire Jueming Heaven.
”If you don’t believe that I know Xiahou Qingyuan, you can check this old Longting Pass Token.”
Seeing the hesitant expression on the shopkeeper Yang’s face, Xu Taiping then handed the pass token given to him by Xiahou Qingyuan to the shopkeeper Yang.
As soon as he saw the pass token with the special mark of the Three Emperors Dao Palace, the shopkeeper Yang’s eyes lit up immediately, and then he nodded repeatedly towards Xu Taiping and said：
”I will immediately send a voice transmission to the host！”
Xu Taiping nodded slightly, and then his gaze once again looked at Zhuang Mu in the virtual shadow projected by the spirit mirror. At the same time, he began to transmit his voice to Fairy Lingyue to discuss countermeasures——
“Sister Lingyue, after the host of Yizhu Building confirms the identity of that Zhuang Mu, she should be able to guess the true intention of those demonic cultivators.”
“That may startle the snake. If we don’t wipe out all the demonic cultivators lurking in the city this time, you won’t be able to do anything in this Old Dragon Court.”
“So what do you mean, Sister Lingyue？”
“You eat a piece of the peach flesh of the fairy peach born from the Earth Fruit, and let me borrow your body to take action for you once, and try to kill all the demonic cultivators lurking in the dark as much as possible.”
There are a total of five fairy peaches born from the Earth Fruit. Excluding the one eaten in Youyun Heaven, there are still four left.
So in fact, Fairy Lingyue has four chances to borrow Xu Taiping’s body to take action.
It’s just that before, they were in Zhenwu Heaven, and most of the time they were wandering in the Profound Desolation Tower, so there was no chance to use it at all.
“But Sister Lingyue, I now have the Eighth Emperor Soul Seal on my body. I’m afraid that even if I eat the peach flesh, I still need to supplement it with Hidden Immortal Brew？”
After hearing Fairy Lingyue’s suggestion, he transmitted his voice to ask with some worry.
