“This day has finally come.”
When hearing the three words “Decapitation List” coming from the jade slip, Fairy Lingyue also appeared beside Xu Taiping, with a complicated smile still hanging on her face.
“Sister Lingyue, did you already expect that my name would appear on this so-called Decapitation List？”
When Xu Taiping heard this, he looked at Fairy Lingyue in surprise.
While speaking, he also used True Yuan to interrupt the voice of Dongfang Yuejian in the jade slip.
“Before answering this question, let me first explain to you what the ‘Death List’ is.”
Fairy Lingyue motioned for Xu Taiping to sit down first.
“Okay.”
Xu Taiping nodded and sat down.
Immediately, Fairy Lingyue began to explain：
“There is a list in the Faceless Building. According to the reward amount offered by the person who hires a killer, the people on the list are ranked.”
“The name of this list is the ‘Death List’.”
“Also, because most of the names on this list won’t survive for more than half a month from the day they are on the list.”
“Many cultivators also call this list the ‘Half-Month Death List’.”
“But precisely because the rankings on this list are truly earned with lives, the rankings on the list basically match the strength of the cultivators in the world today.”
“Many cultivators actually take pride in being able to get on the list.”
“So in my opinion, based on your performance in this Golden Scale Conference and the number of cultivators you have offended, your name will sooner or later appear on the Death List.”
“I just didn’t expect it to be so fast.”
After speaking, Fairy Lingyue also gave Xu Taiping a helpless smile.
After listening to Fairy Lingyue’s explanation, Xu Taiping suddenly understood.
“So the most abnormal thing about this matter is not why I got on the Death List, but why I got on the Death List so quickly, right, Sister Lingyue？”
After calming down, Xu Taiping also heard the key to the problem.
“To be on the Decapitation List, the reward for your life must be at least equivalent to a divine weapon and one million gold essence coins. Otherwise, the Faceless Tower simply won’t take it.”
“Under normal circumstances, no one would offer such a high price for a newly rising cultivator.”
The Fairy Lingyue nodded and said.
“And since I was listed on the same time as Miss Dongfang, it indicates that this matter may still be related to Yiye Shu.”
Xu Taiping murmured and guessed while injecting true essence into the sound-transmitting jade slip again.
When he finished saying this, the voice of Dongfang Yuejian in the sound-transmitting jade slip sounded again——
“According to the intelligence obtained by our Dongfang family’s ancestors from the Faceless Tower, the assassinations of you and me by the Faceless Tower should have started after Yiye Shu was killed by your senior.”
“And the specific reason, without accident, should be related to Yiye Shu’s attempt to assassinate me.”
“I also sent a message to you about this a few days ago.”
“At that time, the secret report sent from the Dongfang family said that the reason why Yiye Shu wanted to kill me was actually to seize the One Stroke Opens the Heavens inheritance on me.”
“The reason why he wanted to obtain the One Stroke Opens the Heavens inheritance was because he found the corpse of a real dragon in a secret realm.”
“And as long as he had my One Stroke Opens the Heavens power, he could use the painting instead of the body to resurrect that real dragon.”
“As for why he wants to revive the True Dragon, our Ancestor said that this involves a battle for the Great Dao, and it is the key to taking a step further in the Shocking Heaven Realm and breaking through to the legendary Dao Fusion stage.”
“Other than that, the Ancestor was not willing to reveal anything else to us.”
“And the Ancestor guessed that the reason why someone is offering a reward for our lives at this time should be because they suspect that when we killed One Leaf Book, we obtained the location of the wild secret realm where the bones of the True Dragon are hidden on his body.”
After listening to this slightly chaotic explanation from Dongfang Yuejian.
Xu Taiping once again interrupted the voice in the jade slip, and then looked at Fairy Lingyue and said：
“Regarding the matter of reviving the True Dragon that Dongfang Yuejian mentioned, have you ever heard of it, Sister Lingyue？”
After seriously thinking about it for a while, Fairy Lingyue nodded and said：
“What she said is all true. It’s just that I didn’t expect that there really are bones of the True Dragon in this world.”
True Dragons are different from ordinary Flood Dragons. They are not formed through acquired cultivation and evolution, but are gestated by the Great Dao when all sides of the world were first opened.
So the number of True Dragons in this world has been determined since the beginning of the world.”
With the degradation of the bloodline inheritance, the number of True Dragons will only become fewer and fewer, and eventually extinct.
“Then this battle for the Great Dao that can help break through to the Dao Fusion stage, Sister Lingyue, you…”
“Shh！…”
Before Xu Taiping could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Fairy Lingyue.
”Some things, if said out loud, might be sensed by those existences. Don’t forget the lesson of Ye Yishu.”
Fairy Lingyue reminded Xu Taiping.
”Thanks to Fairy Lingyue for the reminder.”
Hearing this, Xu Taiping’s forehead, for no reason, broke out in a layer of cold sweat.
”Continue listening to the words left by Dongfang Yuejian in the jade slip.”
Fairy Lingyue pointed to the jade slip in Xu Taiping’s hand.
Xu Taiping nodded and immediately injected true essence into the jade slip again——
”Young Master Xu, this time it’s my fault for implicating you. I originally wanted to apologize to you face to face, but this time the reward offered by Faceless Tower for me is twice as high as yours. They are obviously mainly after me.”
”So I must leave Youyun Heaven as soon as possible, otherwise more Faceless Ones will be attracted.”
However, even if I can lead away some of the Faceless Ones, there will definitely be no less left. So Young Master Xu you must be careful in the next two days and leave Youyun Heaven as soon as possible.”
The old ancestor said that the True Martial Heaven barrier is still there. Even if the Faceless Ones want to enter True Martial Heaven, they will have to pay a considerable price.”
”In addition, besides the two transformation pills in this brocade box, there is also a teleportation order to Longcheng Tian in the ring, as well as two hundred thousand gold essence coins left by my mother for Young Master Xu. Please Young Master Xu must accept them with a smile.”
”The person who came to pick us up is here. I have to go, Young Master Xu.”
“Young Master Xu, see you again. I hope there will be a chance to thank you in person！”
After hearing Dongfang Yuejian’s voice transmission, Xu Taiping sighed and said,
“I hope we can meet again.”
“She even left you an additional two hundred thousand gold essence coins. These mother and daughter are really quite nice.”
Fairy Lingyue smiled and said.
“Daoist Su and Miss Dongfang are both very good people, but their luck is a bit bad.”
Xu Taiping nodded and said with a bitter smile.
“However, Taiping, what Miss Yuejian just reminded is actually correct. Since your names have been on the Death List so early, the Faceless Ones in the Faceless Building must have already laid out assassinations against you two.”
Fairy Lingyue reminded Xu Taiping.
“Then I won’t wait for Liantong anymore. I will inform Little Martial Aunt later and leave at the latest tomorrow. First, go to the Pilu Temple teleportation platform and then take Xiaoyu back to Zhenwu Heaven together.”
Xu Taiping nodded and said.
“Well, but your Liantong still hasn’t deduced it after so long. That sealing stone is really wasted.”
Fairy Lingyue said very disgustedly.
“Uh！…”
What Xu Taiping didn’t expect was that just as Sister Lingyue’s sarcastic words came out, the Liantong in his left eye once again became as hot as a soldering iron.
“It seems that Liantong has deduced something again.”
Xu Taiping, who had had many experiences, immediately guessed.
Just as he said this, strange faces suddenly appeared in Xu Taiping’s mind.
”Could these all be the Faceless Ones who want to assassinate me？！”
Xu Taiping guessed in surprise.
Just as he was thinking this, another scene flashed in his mind——
”In the main hall of a temple, a monk with a delicate appearance tore off the human skin mask on his face, revealing a cold face, and then took out a heavy sword covered with talisman papers from his arms and stabbed it into the ground in the center of the main hall with a single stroke.”
”With a loud bang, in the blink of an eye, this main hall Boom collapsed and turned into ruins.”
After being stunned for a few breaths, Xu Taiping suddenly woke up and said：
”The Faceless Ones… the Faceless Ones are going to destroy the teleportation platform from Youyun Heaven to Zhenwu Heaven in Pilu Temple！”
And not just the teleportation platform in Pilu Temple.
As the scenes in the Lotus Pupil continued to flash, Xu Taiping found that several other teleportation platforms from Youyun Heaven to Zhenwu Heaven in Youyun Heaven were also destroyed！
Obviously.
These Faceless Ones want to cut off Xu Taiping’s way back to Zhenwu Heaven！
”Six days later, the time when the Pilu Temple was destroyed is exactly six days later.”
After comparing the scenes in his mind, Xu Taiping finally estimated the time when the teleportation array was destroyed.
