Chapter 524 The Lost Pearl Tower, a trap within a trap
"If he could use the corpse of an Earth-disaster demon as bait, the person who assassinated the owner of the Lost Pearl Tower might have a more powerful back-up plan."
Xu Taiping looked at the shadow cast by the spiritual mirror in front of him and murmured.
He was not worried about how to make the people in Yi Zhu Tower believe in him and believe that this yellow dog demon species was real.
After all, he had smashed the head of this yellow dog demon species, so the corpse of this demon species really couldn't be real anymore.
What really worried him was the motive of the blond young man in forging the corpse of the yellow dog demon species.
If it was just to defraud money from the Lost Pearl Tower, then he could just sell the body of the demon species in his hand to the Lost Pearl Tower instead of using it to pretend to be a yellow dog devil species.
Therefore, this person's motive could only be to get close to the owner of the Relic Pearl Tower in the name of offering a reward for the corpse of the Yellow Dog Demon.
"Master Wuyou, although I believe you have no intention of harming our poster, there is only one corpse of the yellow dog demon species, so at least one of you two has a fake corpse of the demon species.
"It concerns the owner's safety, so please wait here until I ask the owner for instructions before making a decision."
Shopkeeper Yang Da explained to Xu Taiping in a very sincere tone.
When he said this, his expression was particularly vigilant. As long as Xu Taiping showed the slightest hint of hostility, he might take action.
"Okay, I'm not in a hurry."
Xu Taiping nodded calmly.
Hearing this, Shopkeeper Yang breathed a long sigh of relief.
"Shopkeeper Yang, I heard that the corpse of a demon species brought by someone can be invincible when exposed to real fire just like me. If that's the case, I have a suggestion."
At this moment, the voice of the blond young man suddenly rang out from the shadow cast by the spiritual mirror.
Shopkeeper Yang Da, who was about to leave the room where Xu Taiping was and went to ask for instructions from the landlord, suddenly stopped after hearing what the blond young man said.
"I wonder what you would like to propose, Mr. Zhuang Mu?"
Shopkeeper Yang picked up the jade slip and sent a message to Zhuang Mu in another room.
Because Zhuang Mu couldn't see the situation in this room, he
I just took this opportunity to observe Zhuang Mu and see if I could find any flaws in him.
When Xu Taiping heard this, he looked at Zhuang Mu on the other side of the spiritual mirror with great curiosity.
Xu Taiping, who had been able to confirm that the corpse of the demon species in Zhuang Mu's hands was not that of the yellow dog demon species, was very curious about what other tricks he was planning to play.
"The Yellow Dog Demon Seed is an earth-scourge-level demon breed. When I picked him up, I tried it with the Heavenly Grade True Fire Talisman, and his body was still intact."
"So as long as the Relic Pearl Tower uses the Tianpin True Fire Talisman to try it, we can know who is real and who is fake."
Upon hearing this, Shopkeeper Yang's eyes lit up, and he was obviously a little moved.
Although the Heavenly Grade True Fire Talisman is expensive, in the Sea of Dry Stones, it is not worth mentioning compared to the corpse of the yellow dog demon species.
What's more, in addition to identifying the authenticity of the two demon corpses this time, Yi Zhu Tower also wants to find the real murderer who assassinated the owner of Yi Zhu Tower.
And this is what Yi Zhulou is willing to do even if it costs money.
"Taiping, this Zhuang Mu is very suspicious."
After hearing what Zhuang Mu said, Fairy Lingyue's expression suddenly turned cold and she immediately sent a message to Xu Taiping.
"What's suspicious?"
Xu Taiping naturally knew that the "suspicious" mentioned by Fairy Lingyue did not refer to Zhuang Mu's motive of forging the body of the yellow dog demon species.
"The body of an earthly calamity-level demon species can indeed temporarily resist the burning of the Heavenly Grade True Fire Talisman, but the premise is that the demon species' body has not been eroded by the monk's fighting spirit before it dies."
Fairy Lingyue said to Xu Taiping in a solemn tone.
"About this matter, unless they are high-level demon cultivators from Jiuyuan, or demon-hunting monks who know demon cultivators extremely well, very few people can know about it."
She then added another sentence.
It was the first time Xu Taiping heard this statement. He was surprised at first, but then a chill ran down his back.
meaning.
"Sister Lingyue, what you want to say is that Zhuang Mu's proposal to use the Heavenly Grade True Fire Talisman to test the bodies of two demon species was not an accidental act, but because he deliberately did this after knowing the cause of death of the real yellow dog demon species.
Was it brought up in general?"
Xu Taiping sent a message to Fairy Lingyue with a serious expression to confirm.
If his guess was correct, it meant that Zhuang Mu or the person behind him was most likely at Jufeng Tower that day and had seen Xu Taiping kill the yellow dog demon species.
"Perhaps the person behind Zhuang Mu is Li Yezhu."
"What he is doing now seems to be proving the authenticity to the Lost Pearl Tower. It seems like he is assassinating the owner of the Lost Pearl Tower, but in fact it is confirming my identity."
"In other words, the million-gold reward offered by the Yellow Dog Demon Breed this time is actually a trap he set for me."
The more Xu Taiping thought about it, the more frightened he became.
If he hadn't discovered this in time, once Zhuang Mu confirmed his identity, he would most likely have faced an ambush prepared by Li Yezhu.
"Mr. Wuyou, I have just asked the poster for instructions, and I have been promised that I can try Mr. Zhuang's method again. What do you think?"
After communicating with Yi Zhulou, Shopkeeper Yang suddenly looked at Xu Taiping.
"You can give it a try." Xu Taiping agreed with a relaxed expression at first, and then changed the topic, "But before that, I have a better way to prove the authenticity of my yellow dog demon species."
"Please give me some advice, Mr. Wuyou."
Shopkeeper Yang looked at Xu Taiping with a wary look.
At present, one of Xu Taiping and Zhuang Mu must be here to assassinate the owner of Yi Zhu Tower, so he had to be vigilant.
"I have nothing to teach you." Xu Taiping shook his head, "If you want to confirm my identity and the authenticity of this yellow dog demon species, all you need to do is ask the Master of the Yi Zhu Tower to ask a disciple named Xiahou Qingyuan of the Three Emperors Dao Palace
Just confirm."
If it weren't for the current emergency, he wouldn't want to move out of Xiahou Qingyuan.
As for whether he can contact Xiahou Qingyuan, Xu Taiping believes that with the ability of the master of Yizhu, it is impossible to do this.
"Three Emperors Dao Palace...Xiahou Qingyuan?"
Shopkeeper Yang looked surprised when he heard this.
Whether it is the Three Emperors Dao Palace or Xiahou Qingyuan, their reputations are not small in the entire Juemingtian cultivation world.
"If you don't believe that I know Xiahou Qingyuan, you can check this old Dragon Court Pass."
Seeing the hesitant look on Shopkeeper Yang's face, Xu Taiping handed the pass that Xiahou Qingyuan had given him to Shopkeeper Yang.
As soon as he saw the pass order with the special mark of the Three Emperors Dao Palace, Shopkeeper Yang's eyes immediately lit up, and then he nodded to Xu Taiping and said:
“I’ll send word to you now, the owner of the building!”
Xu Taiping nodded slightly, then looked at Zhuang Mu again in the shadow cast by the spiritual mirror, and at the same time began to discuss countermeasures with Fairy Lingyue——
"Sister Lingyue, after confirming the identity of Zhuang Mu, the owner of Yizhu Tower should be able to guess the true intention of those demon cultivators."
"That might alert the enemy. If you don't catch all the demon cultivators lurking in the city this time, you won't be able to do anything in the old Dragon Court."
"What do you mean, Sister Lingyue?"
"You eat the flesh of a fairy peach born from the earth fruit, and let me borrow your body to take action for you once, and kill as many demonic cultivators as possible who are ambushing in the dark."
There are a total of five fairy peaches born from the earth fruit, except for the one eaten in Youyuntian, there are still four left.
So in fact, Fairy Lingyue had four opportunities to take advantage of Xu Taiping's body.
It's just that I was in Zhenwutian before, and most of the time I was in Hunyou Xuanhuang Tower, so I never had the chance to use it.
"But Sister Lingyue, I now have the soul mark of the Eight Emperors on my body. I'm afraid even if I eat peach meat, I have to supplement it with Hidden Immortal Brew, right?"
After listening to Fairy Lingyue's suggestion, he sent a message to ask with some worry.
