Xu Taiping calculated the time and then frowned and said:
”Today is the fifth day, and there are still ten days until the fifteenth day.”
Master Xuanzhi beside him nodded and said:
”That’s right. If we set off now to go to the Old Dragon Court, we should still be able to rest there for a few days.”
Xu Taiping immediately shook his head and said:
”No, we can’t wait that long.”
Master Xuanzhi was very puzzled and said:
”Brother Taiping, do you have something urgent to do?”
Xu Taiping nodded and then took out the Zhaotian Mirror from his arms and handed it to Master Xuanzhi.
After Master Xuanzhi took it, he continued to say:
“In this Heavenly Mirror, two extremely powerful demonic qi are sealed. With our current cultivation and combat power, we are simply no match for it. We can only bring it into the Thousand Buddha Kingdom in the Barbaric Wilderness as soon as possible and let Master Kasyapa help deal with it.”
Hearing this, Master Xuanzhi reached out and pressed on the mirror surface. Immediately, his palm was bounced off by the demonic qi in the mirror with a “bang”.
His expression immediately changed and he said:
“What a powerful demonic creature!”
Xu Taiping didn’t specifically explain the origin of this demonic qi to Xuanzhi. Instead, with a solemn expression, he looked towards the direction of the Old Dragon Court and said:
“This Heavenly Mirror can seal this demonic qi for at most two more days. Therefore, we must enter the Barbaric Wilderness within two days.”
Xuanzhi immediately frowned and said:
“I’m afraid it’s too late, right?”
At this moment, it is at least ten days before the sandstorm at the entrance ends. If we go now, we have to force our way through that sandstorm.”
A resolute look flashed in Xu Taiping’s eyes and he said:
“Then we can only force our way through this sandstorm.”
In his opinion, compared to the sandstorm, the two demonic qi in the Heavenly Mirror are even more dangerous.
Because these two demonic qi of Yu Yangzi, aside from being extremely powerful themselves, can also turn all the corpses in this area into corpse demons.
By that time, what they will have to face is not just one or two demonic creatures, but hundreds or thousands of them.
Master Xuanzhi fell silent at this time.
Dongfang Yuejian, who had long been awakened by the commotion here, suddenly spoke up:
“Daoist Taiping, Master Xuanzhi, as far as I know, that sandstorm is not as dangerous as rumored. At least there is one place where it can be passed through.”
Both Xu Taiping and Master Xuanzhi were overjoyed and looked at Dongfang Yuejian.
Dongfang Yuejian immediately explained to the two:
“In the area covered by the sandstorm, there is an abandoned city called Yangxian. Legend has it that it was once the mansion bestowed by the Dragon Emperor on the famous dragon general Cangyuan.”
“Although most of the Yangxian City has now turned into ruins, there is still the remaining divine will of the old days in the ruins of the city.”
“So when the sandstorm passes through here, it will weaken a lot.”
Upon hearing this, both Xu Taiping and Master Xuanzhi were overjoyed.
However, at this time, Dongfang Yuejian suddenly frowned and changed the topic:
“However, although the danger of the sandstorm is much smaller than elsewhere, and after passing through this ruined city, you can quickly see the entrance to the Xuanhuang.”
“But when passing through the ruins of Yangxian City, there will be two big troubles.”
Xu Taiping immediately asked:
“Which two big troubles?”
Dongfang Yuejian replied:
“First of all, it is highly likely that we will encounter the remnant souls of the dragon general Cang Yuan and his underlings, the dragon riders.”
In the astonished eyes of Xu Taiping and the Mysterious Knowledge Mage, Dongfang Yuejian continued to explain:
“Just like the dragon shadow transformed by the remnant soul of the real dragon outside the old Dragon Court, the remnant souls and divine thoughts of these dragon generals can also use the power of the sandstorm to manifest their forms and besiege us.”
“Although their combat power is far inferior to that at their peak, it is still very difficult for us lower realm cultivators to deal with them. Often, dozens or even hundreds of people have to travel together.”
Xu Taiping immediately frowned and asked:
“Is there a way to avoid a direct confrontation with them?”
If you can’t beat them, of course you can still hide.
Dongfang Yuejian nodded immediately and said:
“If you don’t move the things in Yangqian City, or if you have a way to hide your breath and move forward in the city, it is indeed possible to avoid them, but this is very difficult.”
Xu Taiping seriously considered it in his mind for a while, and then secretly said in his heart:
“I have the art of changing shape and shadow given by Senior Li Daoyan, and with the addition of Chengying’s heaven-covering divine will, there should be no accident that I can avoid that dragon general and the dragon riders.”
Regarding the art of changing shape and shadow, and the heaven-covering divine will of the fairy sword Chengying, Xu Taiping still has great confidence.
So Xu Taiping looked at Dongfang Yuejian very seriously and said:
“I have a way to avoid the detection of that Dragon Clan Divine General. You continue to talk about the second trouble.”
Seeing that Xu Taiping was so confident, Dongfang Yuejian immediately nodded with a smile and then continued to say:
“The second trouble comes from the Jue Ming Heavenly Saber Emperor.”
Upon hearing this, Xu Taiping was a bit puzzled and said:
“The Jue Ming Heavenly Saber Emperor, why would he appear in that Yangxian City?”
Dongfang Yuejian immediately explained:
“Daoist Taiping, you don’t know that as early as more than thirty years ago, the saber emperor Yang Ben of Jue Ming Tian who was crazy about saber practice moved his dao field to that Yangxian City and tried his saber with the divine sense of that Dragon Clan Divine General every day.”
Xu Taiping’s mouth twitched and he was a bit incredulous and said:
“He actually used the Dragon Clan Divine General Cang Yuan to try his saber?”
Dongfang Yuejian also smiled helplessly and said:
“This person is crazy about saber practice and thinks that there is no rival in the world. And that Dragon Clan Divine General Cang Yuan is rumored to be the most powerful saber cultivator in his era, so he will look for him to try his saber.”
Dongfang Yuejian continued to explain:
“However, that Dragon Clan Divine General Cang Yuan is indeed worthy of being the strongest saber cultivator in that era. Even if only a remnant soul and divine sense are left, in the challenges over the past thirty years, Yang Ben still has no winning record.”
“And in the end, it all ended with his serious injury and defeat.”
”But even so, Yang Ben will still challenge again after recovering from his injuries.”
When saying this, Dongfang Yuejian seriously raised her head and looked at Xu Taiping, and then continued:
”After countless defeats, Yang Ben has become almost half crazy. Anyone who enters Yangxian City will be regarded as his opponent and must fight with him with a knife before leaving.”
”So over the years, because of Yang Ben, very few cultivators will step into Yangxian City again.”
After hearing Dongfang Yuejian’s account, Xu Taiping muttered thoughtfully:
”After all, the Dragon Clan God General Cangyuan is just a remnant soul. With the Shifting Shadow Movement Technique and the Chengying Sword, it is not difficult to avoid him, but Yang Ben is different.”
No matter how crazy Yang Ben is, he still has his own consciousness. When Xu Taiping uses the Shifting Shadow Movement Technique or the divine will of the Chengying Sword, he will definitely be discovered by him and then chased and killed all the way.
For Xu Taiping at present, neither the Shifting Shadow Movement Technique nor the divine will of the Chengying Sword can be used for a long time.
In a short time, being able to use it once or twice is already the limit.
And just when Xu Taiping was thinking about whether there was a way to deal with it, in his mind, the voice of the Saber Ghost suddenly sounded after a long absence——
”Xu Taiping, leave that Saber Emperor to this old man!”
The voice of the Saber Ghost was full of hunger and fanaticism.
It was as if a lion that had been hungry for a long time had finally met its prey.
