“If it weren’t like this today, when I entered this scene to check carefully, who would have thought that this seemingly ordinary big elm tree had such a terrifying side.”
Xu Taiping overlooked the tree shadows wriggling like snakes below, with a look of horror in his eyes.
And just when he thought that this was all the power of the Great Deduction wanted to tell him, he suddenly saw that at the edge of the tree shadows that were like wriggling snakes and branches, small branch shadows began to grow like branches and leaves.
It was just like the fruits borne by this big elm tree.
Xu Taiping carefully looked at the main body of the big elm tree and found that the branches of the main body had not changed.
Just when he had a look of surprise on his face, he suddenly found that the newly born branches in the tree shadows began to twist and turn and change into extremely strange-shaped characters one by one.
It was very similar to the ancient seal script of the human race, but it was more like the oracle bone inscriptions of ancient times.
After a moment of stunned surprise, Xu Taiping’s heart suddenly moved and said：
This Blood Ancestor is using this to convey a message to the outside world！
Thinking of this, Xu Taiping immediately asked Liantong：
Liantong, can you recognize the characters on this tree shadow？
After getting Xu Taiping’s permission, Liantong also saw the strange characters formed on the tree shadow of the big elm tree through Xu Taiping’s mind at this time.
Immediately, only Liantong’s voice was heard, full of surprise：
This seems to be Dragon Script.
Xu Taiping’s heart was shocked.
This was already the third time he had heard someone mention this Dragon Script.
The first time was when he first went down the mountain, the seal characters left by the Begonia couple. The second time was when he heard it from the Dragon Emperor Cangzhou who was in charge of the treasury of the seven constellations of the Dragon Clan.
However, when he thought that this Immortal Burial Ruins was the place that suppressed the last fortune of the Dragon Clan, it was normal for the Dragon Script to appear, so he felt relieved in his heart.
Xu Taiping immediately asked Liantong：
“What is the content written in this Dragon Script？”
After a moment of silence, Liantong finally said：
“Wait a moment. I’m not particularly proficient in the Dragon Script and need some time.”
Xu Taiping immediately responded in his heart and said：
“It’s not urgent. Take your time to look.”
Now that Sister Lingyue is not here, the only people he can think of who know the Dragon Script are Liantong and Dongfang Yuejian.
Of course, he is not sure whether Dongfang Yuejian really recognizes the Dragon Script or not.
After waiting for almost half a stick of incense time, seeing that the shadow of the big elm tree was about to disappear, Xu Taiping couldn’t help but ask Liantong again：
“How is it？”
After a slight hesitation, Liantong replied：
“I can understand a general idea.”
Xu Taiping’s heart immediately rejoiced, and then he heard Liantong continue to say：
“The general meaning of this dragon script is that I have asked Yuanlingzi to pretend to be the librarian and refine the captured children into blood babies according to your instructions. Next, I will sleep until the next time the Shangqing cultivator descends.”
“By then, Yuanlingzi will come to offer me the blood food that has been collected for nearly two hundred years.”
“With this blood food, I will wake up completely in at most three to five months.”
“However, when I first wake up, I will be very weak and may not even have two-tenths of my combat power. Ao Yan, you have to find a way to bewitch more upper realm cultivators to come and be my food. The more, the better.
“When all the cultivators who came to the lower realm this time are swallowed into my stomach, my combat power can at least be restored to eight-tenths.”
“Although it is not yet at the peak, it is more than enough to break free from the confinement of this small world.”
“By then, you, Ao Yan, and I will join hands and will surely be able to destroy the entire Shangqing Realm again!”
When it came to this point, Liantong paused for a moment and then said in a solemn tone
“That’s all.”
And Liantong’s retelling set off a stormy sea in Xu Taiping’s heart.
After digesting some of the information, Xu Taiping muttered in his heart：
“In this Burial Immortal Ruins, the only existence that could make the Blood Ancestor leave this letter, apart from that demonic dragon, there couldn’t be any other.”
Lotus Pupil also agreed at this time and said：
“This Ao Yan indeed seems like a name of the Dragon Race.”
Xu Taiping nodded secretly and then continued to say：
“The Blood Ancestor said in the letter that when we come again, he will wake up again in at most three to five months.”
“Calculating now, the time also seems about right.”
Lotus Pupil said：
“But judging from the words of the Blood Ancestor in the letter, at the beginning of his awakening, he is extremely weak and can’t even exert two-tenths of his combat power. He must rely on devouring upper realm cultivators to restore his combat power.”
Xu Taiping took a deep breath and said in a solemn tone：
“So after the Blood Ancestor wakes up, that demonic dragon and Yuan Lingzi will surely try every means to lure upper realm cultivators to their deaths.”
Lotus Pupil said：
“For you, perhaps you can use this time to determine exactly when the Blood Ancestor will wake up.”
Xu Taiping nodded very seriously.
The information deduced by Lotus Pupil’s Great Deduction Power this time is simply a great gift for Xu Taiping and their team.
Not only do they know the time when the Blood Ancestor will wake up and the combat power he currently has, but they also learned about the secret connection between the Blood Ancestor and the demonic dragon Ao Yan.
Lotus Pupil said again at this time：
“With this information, I think you can take a risk and see if you can kill that Blood Ancestor.”
“Otherwise, if he really recovers his combat power completely and joins hands with that demon dragon, even if you help Gu Yu raise his cultivation level to the Heavenly Dragon Realm, you will definitely not be their opponents.”
Even without Liantong’s reminder, Xu Taiping at this moment also thought so.
Xu Taiping then recalled the content of the Blood Ancestor’s message again, and then frowned and muttered in his heart：
“The Blood Ancestor said in the letter that he once asked Yuan Lingzi to pretend to be a library gentleman and abduct children everywhere to refine them into blood babies for blood food according to Ao Yan’s request.”
“Why did this Ao Yan specifically tell Yuan Lingzi about this？”
Liantong spoke at this time and said：
“Judging from what Cao Sixi said before, the library gentleman that the dragon demon Ao Yan asked Yuan Lingzi to pretend to be should be Mr. Hongli.”
“Otherwise, the Blood Ancestor would not specifically note in the letter that it was that gentleman.”
After hearing Liantong’s combing, Xu Taiping felt that he vaguely grasped something and immediately thought hard and said：
“Since it is said that it is a disguise, so in fact, there is really such a person as Mr. Hongli, and he is not fabricated out of thin air by Yuan Lingzi.”
“And during the time when Gu Yu and Mr. Hongli met, there were still about six years before the opening of that session of the Dragon-Slaying Meeting.”
“At this time, both Yuan Lingzi and the Blood Ancestor should still be asleep.”
“Otherwise, they will definitely be suppressed by the restrictions of the Burial Immortal Ruins.”
With this thought in mind, Xu Taiping’s eyes suddenly lit up and said：
So it’s not difficult to infer that the Red Carp Mister that Gu Yu met was by no means pretend to be by Yuan Lingzi.
After confirming this point, Xu Taiping’s heart suddenly relaxed a lot.
Because if the Red Carp Mister and Yuan Lingzi were really just the same person, whether Gu Yu could hold the Dao Heart or not, it would be a bit too cruel for him.
But immediately, a question popped up in Xu Taiping’s heart：
“According to Cao Sixi’s statement, he saw the Red Carp Mister more than a hundred years ago, and Gu Yu and the Red Carp Mister should have met more than sixty years later.”
“And the age of this Red Carp Mister is at most in his early twenties.”
Doesn’t this mean that what Ao Yan asked Yuan Lingzi to pretend to be actually the Red Carp Mister who hadn’t been born at that “time?”
“Why did this demonic dragon Ao Yan do this？”
“And why was he able to do this？”
The more Xu Taiping thought about it, the more he became.
