Xu Taiping naturally knew what Dongfang Yuejian was worried about, but he didn’t explain. Instead, he smiled and changed the subject and said:
Let’s first see how Jiuyuan chooses.
Although Xu Taiping didn’t admit it, he didn’t deny it either, which made Dongfang Yuejian very uneasy.
However, just as Dongfang Yuejian was about to say something more, the voice of the old palace master Jiang Xuanfeng sounded again:
Everyone, please quickly take a good look at your respective candidates. In a moment, you will enter the Burial Immortal Ruins in the order of the ranking on the list.
Jiang Xuanfeng added:
Although the time here is much slower than that in the Burial Immortal Ruins, the divine power of the Inviting God Array can’t last long after all, so we must hurry up.
Hearing this, the expressions on the faces of the surrounding cultivators suddenly became urgent.
Dongfang Yuejian looked at Xu Taiping again at this time.
Xu Taiping’s gaze was still firmly fixed on the painting in front of Jiang Xuanfeng. Only after feeling Dongfang Yuejian’s gaze did he ask without looking back:
Yuejian, do you and Master Xuanzhi have a candidate?
Dongfang Yuejian and Master Xuanzhi looked at each other, and then said with a serious expression:
“Both I and Master Xuanzhi believe that that Li Sisi is the most suitable!”
Xu Taiping still didn’t turn his head and asked:
“Why?”
Dongfang Yuejian replied:
“Although that Pang Zhong is definitely the best candidate, there is a high probability that he will be chosen by Jiuyuan.”
“However, compared to that general Pang Zhong of Tianlang Country, the conditions of Li Sisi, the daughter of the richest man in Zhaoyun Country, are also very good.”
Dongfang Yuejian explained:
“This Miss Li Sisi, although she herself is powerless, but behind her is the richest Li family as a backing, which will make us not have to worry about financial issues at the beginning of entering the Burial Immortal Ruins.”
“At the same time, she is herself the descendant of the Dragon Catcher, and it is naturally much smoother for us to communicate with her than with ordinary mortals. Moreover, her family has also secretly cultivated a group of Dragon Slayer Guards, which will be a great help to us.”
Hearing this, Xu Taiping finally turned his head and looked at Dongfang Yuejian with his eyes.
Xu Taiping asked Dongfang Yuejian with a calm expression:
“So what do you think of this Li Sisi?”
Being asked like this by Xu Taiping, Dongfang Yuejian suddenly froze.
Because if you put aside the conditions behind Li Sisi, this Li Sisi herself really has nothing to recommend.
However, Dongfang Yuejian still insisted:
“At present, we don’t know much about her, but since she can be selected as the Dragon Catcher this time, she must not be an ordinary person.”
Xu Taiping shook his head and said:
“Naturally, she is not an ordinary person. However, the reason why she chose to invite the gods and slay the dragon is more like to complete a task.”
Dongfang Yuejian asked in confusion:
“Otherwise?”
Xu Taiping asked rhetorically:
“When facing the silver dragon, not to mention whether she can handle it alone and help us slay the dragon. I just ask you, Yuejian, would you dare to entrust your back to her?”
Dongfang Yuejian was suddenly at a loss for words.
Although she was very optimistic about this Li Sisi, she had to admit that when it really came to the time of slaying the dragon, she really didn’t dare to hand over her back to that Li Sisi.
Xu Taiping once again looked at the painting of Burial Immortal Ruins and continued:
As you just said, Yuejian, the characters who can appear in this painting must have their extraordinary places. However, the extraordinariness of this Li Sisi is at most only helpful for us at the beginning of entering Burial Immortal Ruins.”
“Don’t forget, what we really have to face is that dragon.”
“That true dragon that has long since disappeared in Shangqing, but once suppressed the human race for millions of years.”
Dongfang Yuejian, who was awakened by Xu Taiping’s words, had a fine layer of cold sweat on her forehead.
As Xu Taiping said, what she had just instinctively considered was still to solve the problem of entering Burial Immortal Ruins through the dragon catcher in the painting.
Xuanzhi also nodded slightly at this time and said:
“Brother Taiping has said a lot. The eighteen people selected by this painting must all have extraordinary qualities. Instead, this kind of extraordinary quality that can be seen at a glance is too ordinary.”
In fact, Xu Taiping didn’t consider so much either.
He just felt that Li Sisi was more like a merchant than a pure dragon slayer.
However, after this conversation with Dongfang Yuejian and Xuanzhi, the weight of Gu Yu in his heart has increased by a few points instead.
The reason is nothing else. Just because compared with the other eighteen people in this painting, Gu Yu’s motive for inviting the god is purer.
Just as Gu Yu said when he invited the god just now.
Since he witnessed his elder brother die in the god-inviting array when he was a teenager, he has been preparing for dragon-slaying all his life. After all, if it weren’t for the demonic dragon’s bewitching that made him lose his mind he wouldn’t have let the god-inviting array backfire, and even more wouldn’t have killed his elder brother Gu Yang.
At this time, Dongfang Yuejian suddenly seemed to have made some difficult preparations. She gritted her teeth and looked at Xu Taiping and said:
“Brother Taiping, you choose. I believe in your intuition!”
Xuanzhi also smiled at this time and said:
“The little monk is the same.”
After hearing this, Xu Taiping took back his gaze that was looking at the painting of Zangxianxu, and then nodded to the two of them and said:
“Then let’s bet again together.”
After seeing Xu Taiping’s resolute and decisive gaze, Dongfang Yuejian and Master Xuanzhi inexplicably had a feeling of returning to the time when they were facing the siege of “hundred ghosts” in the wild Kasyapa Temple.
The two thought to themselves, since we were able to survive such a desperate situation as the siege of the Kasyapa Temple by a group of ghosts, what is there to be afraid of in this Immortal Burial Ruins?
Just as the three of them reached a consensus, the voice of the old palace master, Jiang Xuanfeng, sounded again:
”The three of you from Jiuyuan, when you were on the list, you ranked first. According to the rules of the Dragon-Slaying Association, you should be the first to choose.”
As soon as these words came out, the gazes of all the cultivators fell on the three people from Jiuyuan.
I saw that the three people from Jiuyuan, led by the Heartless Demon Emperor, were not polite either. They got up directly and walked in front of Jiang Xuanfeng.
Then, I saw the Heartless Demon Emperor smile at Jiang Xuanfeng and say:
”Brother Jiang, thank you for your trouble.”
Jiang Xuanfeng gave the Heartless Demon Emperor a cold glance.
If it weren’t for the decree of the Demon Mother, he would most likely have already taken action against these three people from the Heartless Demon Emperor.
After Jiang Xuanfeng glared at the three people, he said in a cold tone:
”Choose, and then press your hand on the painting.”
The Heartless Demon Emperor was not angry at all. He still nodded with a smile and said:
”Palace Master Jiang, your temper is really exactly the same as that of your senior brother Xu Song.”
As soon as these words came out, everyone heard a “boom”, and a terrifying aura suddenly spread from Jiang Xuanfeng.
However, in just an instant, the old palace master Jiang Xuanfeng took back that aura again, and then said in a cold and murderous voice:
”Wuxin, I’ll cut you into pieces sooner or later!”
The Wuxin Demon Emperor first burst into laughter, and then looked at Jiang Xuanfeng with narrowed eyes and smiled:
You don’t have that chance.
After saying this, before Jiang Xuanfeng could speak, the Wuxin Demon Emperor stood up straight and said loudly:
The person I, Jiuyuan, have chosen is Pang Zhong of Tianlang Country!
As soon as the voice fell, the picture of Pang Zhong of Tianlang Country standing in the Inviting God Array suddenly enlarged and appeared in the Burial Immortal Ruins Scroll.
Then, in the eyes of all the cultivators, some envious and some angry, the Wuxin Demon Emperor reached out and pressed on the picture in the scroll.
At the same time, I saw the Wuxin Demon Emperor turn his head to look at Xu Taiping and sneered:
Xu Taiping, see you in the Burial Immortal Ruins!
