"Yes." Xiahou Qingyuan nodded, "A demon general from Jiuyuan likes to make monks' flesh and blood spirits into shredded tobacco, and then turn them into smoke puppets for his use."
"It's true, the ghosts in Xuanhuang Tower evolved from the power of Jiuyuan borrowed by Emperor Xuanhuang."
Xia Houyou murmured.
"Xu Taiping, these people are all following you, why don't you save them?"
At this moment, a sharp shout suddenly sounded in the spiritual mirror.
But this voice obviously did not come from Xu Taiping, let alone a ghost.
"Is he from the Eight Views Palace?!"
After thinking for a moment, brother and sister Xiahou Qingyuan almost said in unison.
"This Eight Scenery Taoist Palace still refuses to give up and wants to drive a wedge between Prince Taiping and the monks who climb the pagoda."
Xia Houyou said with a bit of anger on his face.
"The person who spoke should be the deputy palace master named Liu Qingyuan of Bajing Dao Palace."
Xiahou Qingyuan frowned at this time.
"Second brother, do you know him?"
Xiahou You turned to look at Xiahou Qingyuan.
"I don't know him, but I have heard about it a long time ago. The deputy palace master of the Eight Scenery Dao Palace who is in charge of the affairs of the lower realm is ruthless and will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals. Even if his own cultivation is already in the Wentian realm, he still prefers Use shameless means to plot against others."
Xiahou Qingyuan felt a little disdainful.
"No wonder he is willing to damage the reputation of the Eight Scenery Palace and alienate Prince Taiping and the monks who entered the pagoda."
Xia Houyou nodded.
"It's a good thing no one mentioned it just now, but now that he's shouting like this, if Xu Taiping doesn't save him, there will definitely be a gap in everyone's hearts."
Xiahou Qingyuan looked at the spiritual mirror in front of him again.
"But if he goes to rescue him, Mr. Taiping may not be the opponent of the old smoker."
Xia Houyou looked worried.
Although she wanted to see if Xu Taiping had other options, this option did not include fighting the old smoker.
Just after the old smoker "ate" another disciple of the Bajing Taoist Palace, Xu Taiping, who had been silent all the time, suddenly looked up at the spiritual mirror in the air and said:
"Senior, if you have to save me, it's really not the right time."
Hearing this, Xia Houyou raised the corners of his mouth slightly and thought:
"I didn't expect Mr. Taiping to be able to joke."
When he climbed the tower before, Xu Taiping looked serious most of the time and rarely joked with others.
However, she must have never imagined that what Xu Taiping said just now was not a joke, but his answer after serious consideration.
…
After a while.
"Ah!..."
As another scream sounded, not a single head was left hanging on the old smoker's waist.
Instead, there was a row of white figures standing at his feet.
After Xu Taiping answered Liu Qingyuan of the Eight Scenery Dao Palace, he just watched quietly until this moment.
"Seeing helplessly all the people in Bajing Daogong were eaten by the old smoker. Xu Taiping really hates them. Even Bajing Daogong dares not to take them seriously."
Mu Yuchen was speechless.
"Other than that, he has no choice. It's impossible to deal with the old smoker just relying on the monks to fight alone."
Ji Ye shook his head and said helplessly.
In his opinion, Xu Taiping was more helpless against the old smoker than taking revenge on the Eight Scenery Dao Palace and warning the monks who would pass through the ninth floor of the Xuanhuang Tower with him next.
"Doing nothing can indeed not only retaliate against the Eight Scenery Taoist Palace, but also shock the monks from the Five Directions who will enter the tower next, but..."
Mu Yun suddenly paused in the middle of his words, and then shrunk the screen of the spiritual mirror in front of him until Xu Taiping and the old smoker in the distance all appeared in the spiritual mirror, then he continued:
"But this kind of shock cannot convince the more than 300 monks who entered the tower with him. Once the moment of life and death comes, they will most likely disobey orders."
Just one ghost king is so difficult to deal with. When they pass through the snowy area, the number of ghosts they face will be a hundred or even a thousand times greater.
When the time comes, if the more than 300 monks who entered the tower together cannot work together, there will be no chance of victory at all.
"According to what you said, brother, if you want to make these more than 300 monks willing to accept the deployment, wouldn't Xu Taiping have the only option to kill the old smoker?"
Mu Yuchen curled his lips.
She felt that Mu Yun's thinking was too complicated.
"Senior sister is right, senior brother, you are worrying too much, and it is impossible for Brother Taiping to..."
"boom!……"
Before Ji Ye could finish his words, he was interrupted by the sound of an air-piercing explosion that suddenly came from the spiritual mirror.
Immediately, the three of them looked towards the spiritual mirror.
In the spiritual mirror, after the old smoker took his last puff of cigarette, Xu Taiping, who had been watching the battle from a distance, suddenly shot through the air like lightning.
The direction was exactly that of the old smoker a few miles away.
"He...his madman...really...really plans to kill that old smoker!"
After being stunned for a few breaths, Mu Yun suddenly stood up with a "chun" sound and said.
Immediately afterwards, the old smoker in the spiritual mirror waved his torn sleeve and slapped the thick clouds of smoke toward Xu Taiping.
When they were about to collide with Xu Taiping, dozens of extremely thick arms suddenly stretched out from the thick white smoke. They all made fists and slapped their hands to hit Xu Taiping.
"boom!"
With a deafening collision sound, as everyone was stunned, Xu Taiping's figure turned into a fist shadow, and with one punch, dozens of thick arms and the cloud-like thick smoke were thrown away. Blast away.
"Uh-huh!"
Before everyone could scream in surprise, Xu Taiping's figure appeared above the old smoker's head in just a flash, like lightning.
In a hurry, the old smoker suddenly opened his mouth and spit out a cloud of white smoke, blocking Xu Taiping.
"bass!……"
And as the sound of a sword sounded, Xu Taiping's figure turned into a shadow of a sword again, and with a "swish" sound, the sword chopped open the white smoke.
"boom!"
When there was no longer any obstruction in front of the old smoker, Xu Taiping did not put away his sword and change his moves. Instead, he separated a clone of Xuanyuan who had already opened his fist, and hit the old smoker heavily with a "Domineering" move.
"boom!--"
As a fierce and swift fist appeared, Old Smoker's huge figure was hit by the punch and his feet flew up from the ground. He did not stop until he rolled and slid thousands of feet.
Xu Taiping's Xuanyuan clone also shattered when it punched the old smoker.
"He...it turns out he didn't deceive the Eight Scenery Dao Palace just now...He is indeed not refusing to save, but waiting for the opportunity!"
After a long time, Ji Ye slowly stood up.
Mu Yuchen on the side murmured in disbelief:
"Is it possible that he really plans to...plan to kill the old smoker?"
