Dongfang Yuejian’s eyes lit up and she said：
“Could it be that you also received the news that Jiuyuan and the others are leading their troops to attack the Dragon Domain？”
Xu Taiping nodded and said：
“That’s right.”
Dongfang Yuejian asked curiously：
”Which dragon slayer sent a message to Elder Taiping？”
In her opinion, the only ones who could send messages across distances within the Immortal Burial Ruins were the dragon slayers.
Xu Taiping shook his head and said：
”It wasn’t a dragon slayer, nor was it a message from within the Immortal Burial Ruins. Instead, it was from Chenglongtian outside the Immortal Burial Ruins.”
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Yuejian’s heart immediately trembled and she said：
”Someone was actually able to send a message from Chenglongtian into the Immortal Burial Ruins under the restriction of the Heavenly Dao Decree？”
Xu Taiping seemed to feel that it was a bit difficult to explain, so he pointed at his brow and took out a soul imprint and placed it on his fingertip, saying：
”Yuejian, after you take a look, you will naturally understand.”
Hearing this, Dongfang Yuejian took the soul imprint from Xu Taiping’s fingertip with some doubt and then gently pointed it at her own brow.
Moments later, Dongfang Yuejian, who had already read all the contents in the soul imprint, suddenly looked at Xu Taiping in horror and said：
”Those people from Jiuyuan and the six hundred thousand demonic troops he led were actually wiped out so easily in front of that demonic dragon？！”
At this time, Xu Taiping also took a deep breath and said with a solemn expression：
Judging from the scene, it is indeed like this.
Dongfang Yuejian suddenly furrowed her brows and said：
”Does that mean we just give up like this？”
Although after Jiuyuan’s defeat, even if they don’t go to the Dragon Region, they can still draw a tie with him and break the last of the three competitions of the Heavenly Demons.
But when thinking about preparing for such a long time for this, Dongfang Yuejian immediately feels very unwilling again.
However, in the end, she still shakes her head and says：
“Forget it. Even the army of six hundred thousand couldn’t deal with it. If we go, we’re just going to die.”
As she speaks, she raises her head and looks at Xu Taiping somewhat helplessly and says：
“Let’s just forget it, Big Brother Taiping.”
Xu Taiping seems to not have heard her words. He just crosses his arms and is silently pondering something.
Seeing this, Dongfang Yuejian tentatively asks Xu Taiping：
“Could it be that Big Brother Taiping you… you still plan to go to the Dragon Region？”
This time, Xu Taiping finally speaks and says：
“Hmm.”
Hearing this, Dongfang Yuejian is first stunned for a moment, and then says in surprise：
“You… you really want to go？！”
Xu Taiping nods heavily again and says：
“I want to go！”
Dongfang Yuejian is very puzzled and says:
“But Big Brother Taiping, you also saw the combat power of that demon dragon. Without even using its full strength, it wiped out a full six hundred thousand demon soldiers and so many powerful demon beasts.”
Xu Taiping shakes his head and says：
“Although there are six hundred thousand demon troops, under the circumstance that their fighting spirit is restrained by the power of the True Dragon, they are no different from ordinary people in front of the demon dragon.”
“So this doesn’t prove anything.”
Dongfang Yuejian nodded and said：
“That’s true.”
Xu Taiping continued：
“So in my opinion, although this demon dragon is strong, it is by no means invincible.”
Although Dongfang Yuejian felt that Xu Taiping’s analysis was very reasonable, when she thought of the danger she would face when going to the Dragon Domain to challenge the demon dragon, she still couldn’t help but persuade Xu Taiping：
“Brother Taiping, this time the Dragon-Slaying Assembly has at least tied with Jiuyuan. The great disaster that the Heavenly Demon Battlefield has brought to Chenglongtian has been resolved.”
“We don’t need to take such a risk.”
She then said：
“As for that demon dragon, after our failure, the Shangqing Realm will surely send people to deal with it, and maybe even invite great cultivators from the upper realm.”
This is not Dongfang Yuejian’s speculation, but there are many precedents for it.
After a moment of silence, Xu Taiping suddenly looked at Dongfang Yuejian seriously and said：
“Yuejian, if I came to participate in this Dragon-Slaying Assembly for others before.”
“Then the next challenge to this demon dragon is for myself.”
Although Xu Taiping really wanted to say that he had fought this demon dragon countless times in the long river of time, and the result was still undecided.
If he chose to back down this time, I’m afraid his Great Dao would stop here.
However, regarding the matter of the long river of time, he couldn’t tell anyone for the time being, so he said with a serious face：
I want to use the life of this demon dragon to sacrifice to the road of my Harmony Realm.
Dongfang Yuejian’s heart trembled, and she murmured：
Harmony Realm…
For her, breaking through to the Harmony Realm was something she had never even dreamed of. She didn’t expect that Xu Taiping had regarded it as the next goal of his cultivation.
After feeling Xu Taiping’s determination, Dongfang Yuejian immediately nodded heavily and said：
Since this is the case, then we will accompany Big Brother Taiping and go to the Dragon Domain together！
When Xu Taiping heard this, his heart warmed first, and then he shook his head and smiled and said：
This time, you don’t have to come with me. It’s fine for me to fight alone.
Hearing this, Dongfang Yuejian shook her head vigorously and said：
Big Brother Taiping, why are you still so distant after all this time？
Dongfang Yuejian continued with some anger：
Don’t you think we will hold you back？
Xu Taiping shook his head and said：
Of course not.
For Xu Taiping, if there were Dongfang Yuejian and the others as well, the odds of successfully slaying the dragon would naturally be a little higher.
Dongfang Yuejian asked with a serious expression：
“Brother Taiping, are you really sure？”
Xu Taiping said with a solemn face：
“Yes, but not completely sure.”
Dongfang Yuejian immediately said seriously：
“Since that’s the case, please take me with you！”
She took a deep breath and then said extremely seriously：
“Since the beginning of the Dragon-Slaying Society, we have gone through several life-and-death hardships to get here. If we give up like this, wouldn’t it be a kind of inner demon for our future cultivation？”
She just doesn’t dare to reach the state of harmony with the Tao, not that she doesn’t want to.
Who in this world doesn’t want to go further on this great path？
After feeling Dongfang Yuejian’s determination, Xu Taiping was stunned for a moment.
He thought to himself, yes, who among the cultivators in this world doesn’t want to go further on this great path？
Immediately, Xu Taiping no longer refused Dongfang Yuejian and immediately said seriously：
“Miss Dongfang, you go and call Gu Yu and Master Xuanzhi as well. If they are also willing to go with us, then we will start discussing the strategy to slay the dragon now！”
Seeing that Xu Taiping no longer refused to go with them, Dongfang Yuejian’s face immediately lit up with joy and said：
“Okay, I’ll go and call them right away！”
……
Fifteen days later.
Outside Longmen Pass.
Qin Yun looked at the backs of Xu Taiping and their group leaving and said with a solemn expression：
“Obviously, even relying on military exploits, he could have won the first place. Unexpectedly, Taiping Shangxian and the others still went to the Dragon Region！”
The Lu family elder beside him said with a solemn expression：
“Brother Qin, sometimes the length of the Great Dao lies in the difference between dare and dare not.”
“To strive may not necessarily succeed, but not to strive will inevitably stop here.”
