　　Inside the reception hall of Jieyun Inn.
　　“Young Master Xu, this is roughly the situation of the first five tribulations. Take a look at how we should make some preparations in advance for these next two major tribulations？”
　　Inside the hall, the Daoist Su that Xu Taiping had seen before asked Xu Taiping eagerly.
　　Because of Liantong, Xu Taiping now knew that this Daoist Su was actually Dongfang Yuejian’s mother, the wife of the head of the Dongfang family, Su Qingtan.
　　Just as Liantong had foreseen.
　　At this moment, inside the hall, besides Su Qingtan and Dongfang Yuejian, that clan uncle Dongfang Gulu was also sitting there.
　　“I already have a countermeasure, but it’s not very convenient to talk about it here.”
　　Xu Taiping smiled faintly, and his eyes casually glanced at the clan uncle Dongfang Gulu.
　　“Young Master Xu, Clan Uncle Gulu is an elder specially sent by the clan to help me deal with the tribulation this time. Without him, I definitely wouldn’t have been able to safely pass through the fifth tribulation just now.”
　　After noticing Xu Taiping’s concerns, Dongfang Yuejian immediately spoke up to explain.
　　“That’s right, Young Master Xu, Clan Uncle Gulu is not an outsider.”
　　Su Qingtan also spoke up at this time.
　　“Little Daoist Taiping, as far as we’re concerned, you’re the outsider. Do you have ulterior motives for wanting me to leave？”
　　Dongfang Gulu leaned back in his chair, picked up the teacup on the table, and coldly looked at Xu Taiping with a smile.
　　“Clan Uncle Gulu, Young Master Xu, our top priority is to find a way to deal with the countermeasures for the next two tribulations. Let’s not have an internal conflict among our own people.”
Seeing that the two were at loggerheads, Dongfang Yuejian immediately spoke up with a difficult look on her face to persuade them.
Yuejian, the one who provoked trouble is not this old man.
　　Dongfang Gulu snorted coldly.
　　“Don’t think that just because you got the first place in the Golden Scale Ranking, you can be arrogant. This old man has eaten more salt than you’ve drunk water. This Seven Tribulation Curse is no joke. Even if the Pavilion Master came, he wouldn’t dare to say that he has a ten percent chance of success！”
　　As if feeling that he hadn’t said enough to his satisfaction, Dongfang Gulu added another sentence.
　　And the “100% certainty” in his mouth was clearly used to satirize Xu Taiping.
　　Upon hearing this, Dongfang Yuejian immediately looked at Xu Taiping nervously, for fear that he would have another conflict with Dongfang Gulu.
　　However, to his relief, Xu Taiping’s face was calm at this moment, and he didn’t have the slightest intention of quarreling with this Dongfang Gulu.
　　”Young Master Xu, Yuejian said earlier that you have two spiritual beasts in urgent need of transformation pills？”
　　Su Qingtan intended to ease the atmosphere in the hall, so he threw out their last bargaining chip to Xu Taiping in advance.
　　”That’s right.”
　　Xu　Taiping　nodded.
　　”Young Master Xu, if Yuejian survives this great calamity, my Dongfang family is willing to offer two more transformation pills.”
　　Su Qingtan looked at Xu Taiping seriously.
　　In his opinion, since Xu Taiping was not willing to mention the countermeasure, he must be planning to raise the price on the spot.
　　Xu Taiping really didn’t expect that while waiting for the Xuanyuan clone to deal with those three assassins, he actually earned two transformation pills for Ping’an and Baiyu.
　　And at this time.
　　He finally received the news that the Xuanyuan clone had dealt with the three assassins.
　　”Daoist Su, Miss Dongfang, you just said that the fifth tribulation has been resolved？”
　　Xu Taiping turned his head and looked at Su Qingtan and Dongfang Yuejian and asked.
　　”Yes.”
　　Dongfang Yuejian nodded in some confusion.
　　“On the day when the fifth tribulation was resolved, it was just after Young Master Xu won the championship. A demon lord of the Nine-Tailed Fox Demon Clan wanted Yuejian to draw the Ten Thousand Demon Map and intended to kidnap her secretly. As a result, the plot was seen through by Elder Gu Lu, and this tribulation was thus avoided.”
　　Su Qingtan recounted to Xu Taiping the process of that fifth tribulation.
　　“No, not only has Miss Dongfang’s fifth tribulation not passed, but it has already begun.”
　　Xu Taiping shook his head seriously at Dongfang Yuejian and Su Qingtan in front of him.
　　After saying this, he also picked up the tea on the table and took a sip.
　　Upon hearing this, both Dongfang Yuejian and Su Qingtan were shocked.
　　And in the eyes of Dongfang Gu Lu, a fierce look flashed even more, but after seeing Xu Taiping drink this sip of tea, the corner of his mouth hooked slightly imperceptibly, and his expression suddenly relaxed.
　　“Young Master Xu, if you have something to say, you might as well speak up.”
　　Su Qingtan frowned and directly asked Xu Taiping.
　　“Bang, bang, bang, bang bang bang！”
　　And at this moment, the door of the great hall was suddenly knocked.
　　Su Qingtan, who was anxiously waiting for Xu Taiping’s answer, suddenly became a little angry and said：
　　“Elder Tie Yuan, didn’t it say that we have important matters to discuss inside and not to let outsiders disturb？”
　　But there was no response outside the door.
　　The guards have already been secretly dealt with by this Dongfang Gulu, so of course no one answers.
　　Seeing this, Su Qingtan immediately became alert.
And that Dongfang Gulu slowly picked up the teacup and sipped it.
　　After dealing with the elder guarding the door, using the knocking sound with this special rhythm as a signal, this is the signal for the three assassins lurking in the dark.
　　“Bang！”
　　Just at this time, the door of the great hall was kicked open with a foot.
　　Su Qingtan and Dongfang Yuejian immediately reacted – someone has come to kill them.
　　So the two of them, without saying a word, simultaneously activated their respective magic treasures and prepared to meet the enemy.
　　“Puff！ …”
　　But just as they activated their skills, Su Qingtan only felt that the meridians in her body were breaking, and even spat out blood from her mouth.
　　The Dongfang Yuejian beside her also fell to the ground with a plop.
　　“Qingtan, I advise you and niece Yuejian not to activate your skills, otherwise your meridians will break one by one.”
　　At this time, Dongfang Gulu put down the teacup and looked at Dongfang Yuejian and Su Qingtan with a smile all over his face.
　　The people to be dealt with have already been poisoned, and the guards outside the door have been solved. He has nothing to worry about anymore.
　　“Dongfang Gulu？ You poisoned us？！”
　　Su Qingtan looked at Dongfang Gulu with an expression of disbelief at this time.
　　Dongfang Gulu ignored Su Qingtan and instead looked at Xu Taiping with a smile on his face, his tone full of surprise as he said：
　　“I really didn’t expect that Young Master Xu could calculate that the fifth tribulation was not over, but unfortunately, you still came too late. If you had come here yesterday, perhaps I would really have fallen into your hands.”
　　Xu Taiping looked seriously at Dongfang Gulu and then shook his head and said：
　　“It’s not too late now.”
　　Just as he said this, with three consecutive “plop” sounds, three corpses in black clothes were thrown in from the door.
　　Immediately after, a figure exactly the same as Xu Taiping walked into the main hall.
　　It was precisely Xu Taiping’s Xuanyuan clone and the corpses of the three assassins whom he had killed in turn.
　　“This… This…”
　　After seeing clearly the appearance of the three corpses, Dongfang Gulu was dumbfounded.
