Almost at the same time, Heavenly Hunt Great Saint, holding the long stick in hand brought Xu Taiping and Mo Qingzhu and heavily smashed onto the ground from tens of thousands of zhang above the ground.
　　”Peng！”
Youdaoplaceholder0 the huge noise, the hard ground was forcefully smashed into a deep pit.
　　However, the Heavenly Hunt Great Sage in the center of the pit was completely unharmed.
　　Xu Taiping and Mo Qingzhu who were carried on the long stick by him didn’t even consume a single bit of their True Yuan.
And the movement on the side of the three people was completely drowned out by the burst sound of the immortal boat. Moreover, with the Heavenly Escape Talisman, the movement on the side of the three people was even more impossible to be noticed.
　　”Hu…”
　　At this time, Xu Taiping, who had both feet on the ground, let out a long sigh of relief.
　　Mo Qingzhu on the side then asked：
　　”Old Ding, what should we do next？”
　　Just as Mo Qingzhu opened his mouth, only to hear a “boom”, a figure wrapped in gray mist suddenly flew out from above the heads of the three people.
　　By the time Xu Taiping and Mo Qingzhu reacted, that gray shadow had already flown to the position where the immortal boat had exploded.
Immediately afterwards, in the astonished eyes of the two people several more figures wrapped in gray mist successively flew towards the position where the immortal boat had broken.
　　A　moment　later.
　　These breaking wind sounds gradually stopped.
　　Xu Taiping immediately looked at the Heavenly Hunt Great Sage with a solemn expression and said：
　　”Old Ding, those just now…”
　　Before Xu Taiping could finish speaking, he saw the Heavenly Hunt Great Sage nod and say：
　　“That’s right, those should all be filth-bone demons.”
Although he had already guessed in his heart, the sight of the filth-bone figures circling around the wreckage of the celestial boat like a large flock of birds still made Xu Taiping feel a tingling sensation on the scalp.
　　The Heavenly Hunt Great Sage also furrowed his brows and said at this time：
　　“Just in this small area, there are more than twenty filth-bones！ No wonder so many cultivators were trapped and died in Kaiyang Heaven after landing.”
　　Xu Taiping took a deep breath at this time and said：
　　“Elder Ding, can I open that soul mark now？”
The Heavenly Hunt Great Sage looked around, his gaze falling on a not far away, and then nodded and said:
“First go and take a look at that Taoist temple.”
　　He added：
　　“With the courtyard wall for cover, the effect of the Heavenly Escape Talisman can be better exerted.”
　　Xu Taiping nodded slightly.
　　Mo Qingzhu nodded repeatedly.
The strange scene all around, and the filth-bones that still flew past overhead from time to time, made him feel a little at a loss.
　　Just after Xu Tai responded, the Heavenly Hunt Great Sage immediately picked up the long stick in his hand again, and then picked up Xu Taiping and Mo Qingzhu and jumped up suddenly.
　　“Boom！”
In the midst of the huge sound, with just one leap, the Heavenly Hunt Great Saint, carrying Xu Taiping and Mo Qingzhu Youdaoplaceholder0 into the Taoist temple through the shattered roof of the Taoist temple.
　　“Bang！”
In the midst of the huge sound the ground of the Taoist temple was also smashed into a deep pit by the Heavenly Hunt Great Saint.
　　However, just at the moment when the Heavenly Hunt Great Saint’s feet landed.
　　This Taoist temple directly disappeared from this world.
Youdaoplaceholder0, this broken Taoist temple was also hidden by the Heavenly Escape Talisman.
　　Xu Taiping swept a glance at the main hall of this Taoist temple.
　　He found that on the ground of the main hall, there were human bones everywhere.
　　And on these bones, the traces of gnawing could be seen everywhere.
　　At this time, Mo Qingzhu’s voice suddenly trembled a little and said：
　　“Look… it seems that the cultivators in this world back then should all… all have died at the hands of those filthy bones.”
　　Xu Taiping nodded, and then his gaze fell on a stone pillar in the main hall.
I saw that the stone pillar was engraved with densely packed of words.
　　At this time, Mo Qingzhu also discovered that stone pillar, and immediately walked forward, reading as he looked and said：
　　“We are the surviving disciples of the Jiujie Sect in Kaiyang Heaven. Until today… we… we have been trapped in this Taoist temple by this group of filthy bones for more than a hundred days.”
　　“Now, the spirit stones and talismans in our hands have all been exhausted, and I’m afraid we can’t hold on for a few more days.”
　　“Therefore, we have decided to leave this suicide note to inform future generations.”
　　When　hearing　this.
　　Xu Taiping and Heavenly Hunting Great Saint both walked to the stone pillar.
　　After roughly reading the words on the stone pillar, Xu Taiping gently sighed and said：
　　“Elder Ding, just as Venerable Xuanlei said before, the entire Kaiyang Heaven was already occupied by the filthy bones hundreds of years ago.”
　　The suicide note on the stone pillar describes the situation of this world being occupied by the filthy bones.
　　Heavenly Hunting Great Saint nodded.
　　Xu Taiping suddenly asked curiously：
　　“Elder Ding, after all these years, hasn’t anyone discovered the abnormality of Kaiyang Heaven？”
　　Heavenly Hunting Great Saint frowned and said：
“The Ziwei Star Region is extremely vast, with tens of thousands of ruins stars. And this Kaiyang Heaven is just one of the most ordinary ones. Moreover, as early as thousands of years ago, the spiritual energy of this world had been completely exhausted and it had completely become a dead zone. Therefore, except for some extremely weak sects, few cultivators would station here.”
　　“If it weren’t for the fact that the entrance to the Yaochi Holy Land was discovered here this time, I’m afraid that even after another thousand years, it might not necessarily be discovered that there is something wrong here.”
　　Xu Taiping nodded with a look of sudden realization.
　　Obviously, he had underestimated the vastness of the Ziwei Star Region by a great deal.
　　At this moment, Mo Qingzhu, who was still looking at the words on the stone pillar, suddenly pointed to the north side of the stone pillar and said：
　　Daoist Taiping, Elder Ding, come and take a look at this line of words.
　　Upon hearing this, Xu Taiping and the Heavenly Hunt Great Sage both quickly walked over.
　　Immediately, the two of them saw that on the back of this stone pillar, a line of words had been forcefully scratched out with someone’s fingernails —
　　The Holy Land of Yaochi！ He is in the Holy Land of Yaochi！
　　Kill him！ Kill him and this calamity will end！ Then we can rest in peace！
　　After reading this line of text, Xu Taiping and the Heavenly Hunt Great Sage looked at each other and then furrowed their brows and said：
　　The Holy Land of Yaochi should descend upon this world a hundred years later, right？ Why did the disciples of the Nine Tribulations Sect a hundred years ago discover this？
　　Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Hunt Great Sage walked around the stone pillar with a thoughtful expression. Then, looking at Xu Taiping with a solemn expression, he said：
If this old man’s guess is correct, the disciples in this temple did not die at the hands of the filthy bones but rather in a sacrifice.
　　In Xu Taiping’s astonished gaze, the Heavenly Hunt Great Sage pointed to the corpses around and said：
　　Look, although these bones all have traces of being gnawed on, they are generally surrounding this stone pillar.
　　Some of them are even still maintaining the posture of sitting cross-legged.
　　Xu Taiping swept a glance in the direction pointed by the Heavenly Hunt Great Saint, and then his heart sank as he said：
　　“Looking at these corpses, it indeed seems like they were sitting in place, allowing the filthy bones to devour them.”
　　Mo Qingzhu said in confusion at this time：
　　“But why did they sacrifice？”
　　Upon hearing this, Xu Taiping’s heart suddenly trembled, and with a look of horror in his eyes, he said：
　　“Their sacrifice this time was to deduce the path of survival！”
　　As he spoke, he quickly walked to the stone pillar and, looking at the words scratched with fingernails, said：
　　“And this line of words is the result of their deduction this time！”
　　The Heavenly Hunt Great Saint slightly nodded and said：
　　“This old man also speculates so.”
　　Xu Taiping looked around at the bones in the surroundings, and finally his gaze fell on the bone lying on the stone pillar. Then, with a solemn expression, he said：
　　“It seems that the disciples of the Nine Tribulations Sect did not give up until the last moment and were still searching for the path of survival.”
　　The Heavenly Hunt Great Saint looked at Xu Taiping seriously at this time and said：
　　“Xu Taiping, you can now open that soul mark and see if it can correspond to the deduction on the stone pillar.”
　　Xu Taiping nodded solemnly and said：
　　“This junior will take a look now！”
