　　“Boom！”
　　Subsequently, the mighty sword qi induced by the Cloud-Exit Sword in the Zhenjian Tower Boom exploded and dissipated.
　　All of this happened in an instant.
　　Xu Taiping’s body didn’t even make any movements.
　　“This ……”
　　Zhu Huai, Zhang Tianze, and Qiu Shanyuan were all top cultivators in Youyun Tian, and naturally could see the changes in Xu Taiping.
　　They could also guess that Xu Taiping’s previous strike was borrowed from the power of the expert behind him.
　　But precisely because they could see it, they were so surprised.
　　“Without thousands of years, or even tens of thousands of years of cultivation, it is absolutely impossible to make the control of qi and blood and true yuan power so precise.”
　　Zhu Huai muttered with a look of horror on his face.
　　Not only them, but at this moment, Xu Taiping was also shocked in his heart.
Because just as Zhu Huai said, Fairy Lingyue’s shot just now did not use any earth-shattering tricks, and even less used the true yuan breath beyond the range of his body.
　　It was just to make the control of blood and true yuan more precise.
　　“Taiping, ask it to come downstairs again. If it knows what’s good for it, I, your sister, will be too lazy to suppress it with the sword intent.”
　　The voice of Fairy Lingyue rang out in Xu Taiping’s mind again at this time.
　　“What if it doesn’t know what’s good for it？”
　　Xu Taiping asked curiously in his heart.
　　“Hmph, if it doesn’t know what’s good for it, I will definitely make it taste what it’s like to have its spirit body crushed by the sword intent！”
　　Fairy Lingyue snorted coldly.
　　Hearing this, Xu Taiping didn’t hesitate any longer and once again cupped his hands and said loudly：
　　“Disciple Qingxuan Xu Taiping, please ask Senior Chuyun to come downstairs！”
　　Unlike before, the Chuyun Sword did not respond immediately.
　　Obviously, the sword strike of Immortal Lingyue that just broke its sword energy had a great impact on it.
　　However, as proud as it is, it obviously would not submit to Xu Taiping just because of one sword strike.
　　“Since you are so determined to let this old man go downstairs, then this old man will grant you your wish！”
　　With a cold snort from the old sword spirit of Cloud-Exiting Sword inside the building, the entire Sword-Towning Tower “rumbled” and trembled violently.
　　Then, with a sword cry that seemed to tear the sky apart, a sword spirit in the shape of an old man in a green shirt, holding a long sword wrapped in colorful clouds, slashed towards Xu Taiping at the entrance of the Sword-Towning Tower.
　　“Boom！ ……”
　　The moment the sword spirit broke through the door with the sword, the entire Golden Scale Pool trembled.
　　If it weren’t for the fact that this was inside the Golden Scale Pool, I’m afraid it would have caused another commotion in the city.
　　And when Zhang Tianze and Zhu Huai sensed that this sword spirit was really intent on killing Xu Taiping, the blood energy around their bodies suddenly exploded and scattered, preparing to take action to stop it.
　　Zhu Huai even rushed out and shouted loudly at the Cloud-Exiting Sword：
　　“You old bastard, if you don’t want to go downstairs, then don’t. How dare you hurt people！”
　　However, the old sword spirit’s sword momentum remained undiminished, carrying that monstrous killing intent and continuing to slash towards Xu Taiping with one sword.
　　Xu Taiping, who was facing this killing intent for the first time, finally couldn’t hold on anymore, so he said to Immortal Lingyue in his heart：
　　“Sister Lingyue, it seems that it really doesn’t know what’s good for it.”
　　Fairy Lingyue first let out a “giggle” laugh, and then her tone suddenly turned cold and said：
　　“It seems that without the opening of the Sword Champion Ranking, the strength of the sword cultivators in the Upper Clear Realm has indeed greatly declined.”
　　“Otherwise, how dare a mere sword spirit be so arrogant！”
　　While saying this, she regained control of Xu Taiping’s body.
　　Then, she pointed her sword towards the sky, her face stern, and shouted loudly：
　　“Annihilation！”
　　As soon as the words fell, a sword intent carrying pure annihilation energy, as if it was going to annihilate this entire heaven and earth, suddenly spread out.
　　Even powerhouses like Zhang Tianze and Zhu Huai.
　　When facing this sword intent, the feeling of fear continuously surged in their hearts.
　　Compared to the mental impact on the cultivators, the damage of this sword intent to the old sword spirit was real, because it was constantly tearing the spirit body of the old sword spirit.
　　In an instant, the shrill cries of the old sword spirit began to resound throughout this Golden Scale Pool.
　　The sword chirping sound that was originally full of killing intent also began to turn into a wail.
　　“Young Master Xu, it has already suffered, and it won’t dare to act so presumptuously in the future.”
　　“Quickly ask your senior to take back the sword intent. If this continues, this sword spirit will be destroyed.”
　　At this time, the mansion master Qiu Shanyuan suddenly pleaded with Xu Taiping.
　　”Sister Lingyue？”
　　Xu Taiping asked Fairy Lingyue tentatively in his heart.
　　”Hmm, almost there, but you wait a moment and then ask the sword spirit a question for me.”
　　Fairy Lingyue responded, put away her sword intent, and returned her body to Xu Taiping.
　　”Bang！”
　　Just as Xu Taiping put away his sword intent, the Cloud-Soaring Sword wrapped in clouds and mist “swished” and inserted into the ground, and the sword spirit slumped to the ground with a look of dejection on his face.
　　”Cloud-Soaring…”
　　”I, I am willing to go downstairs with Young Master Xu.”
　　Xu Taiping was just about to speak when he was interrupted by the suddenly opening-mouthed sword spirit.
　　However, when saying this, the eyes of the sword spirit were clearly full of unwillingness, and even turned his head away not to look at Xu Taiping.
　　”My senior wants to ask you a question.”
　　Xu Taiping ignored the sword spirit and directly opened his mouth and said.
　　”What words？”
　　The old sword spirit frowned.
　　”Since seeing the descendant of the Sword Ancestor, why not kneel！”
　　Xu Taiping relayed Fairy Lingyue’s words to the sword spirit, and even imitated the tone exactly the same.
　　After hearing these words, Zhu Huai and Zhang Tianze behind him didn’t have much reaction.
　　But after hearing these words, the old sword spirit was like seeing something extremely terrifying, with his eyes wide open, standing there motionless.
　　However, after only a few moments of being stunned, he “thumped” and knelt down on the ground, saying in extreme horror：
　　”With the Sword Ancestor above, this unfilial son is rude. I hope the adults will forgive me！”
　　……
　　Half a stick of incense later.
　　Only at this time, in the minds of Zhang Tianze and Zhu Huai, the scene of the old sword spirit constantly kneeling and kowtowing to Xu Taiping just now was still constantly playing back.
　　”Old Zhu, have you ever heard of a figure like the Sword Ancestor？”
　　Zhang Tianze asked with a look of confusion on his face.
　　”I haven’t heard of it, but someone who can make a being like the sword spirit willingly kneel and worship must not be an ordinary person.”
　　Zhu Huai frowned and said.
　　”Weng weng weng weng…”
　　Just at this time, the communication jade plate in Zhu Huai’s arms suddenly made a buzzing sound.
　　He took it out and took a look, and immediately his expression changed and he said：
　　”Not good, that old thing Jingkong has left the customs from Huoyun Temple. Currently, the Abbot Xuanzhi of Yunyin Temple is leading the Scripture Keepers to intercept.”
　　Upon hearing this, Zhang Tianze’s brows furrowed and he said：
　　”With just Xuanzhi and those few Scripture Keepers, not to mention stopping Jingkong, I’m afraid it will be very difficult to save their lives under his hands.”
　　”What’s wrong？”
　　Just at this time, Xu Taiping walked out carrying a sword box.
　　Just now he was doing the handover of the Cloud-Exit Sword with the Lord of the Qiu Mansion.
　　“Jing Kong has left seclusion ahead of time. It is feared that Abbess Xuanzhi and the others who are guarding outside Huoyun Temple will be in danger.”
　　Zhang Tianze explained to Xu Taiping.
　　Upon hearing this, Xu Taiping’s heart also trembled.
　　He knew the strength of Monk Xuanzhi. It was impossible for him to be a match for Demon Monk Jing Kong.
This is troublesome. News came from Tianyuan City that the Wolf King has also completed the assembly of his demonic hordes ahead of time. He should be going to attack the city with all his strength.”
　　Zhu Huai, who was holding the jade plate, spoke up nervously again at this time.
　　“General, Elder Zhu, I will discuss with my senior and set off for Huoyun Temple immediately.”
　　After communicating with Fairy Lingyue, Xu Taiping immediately made a decision.
　　“There is no other choice！”
　　Zhang Tianze nodded, and then patted Xu Taiping on the shoulder and said：
　　“I’ll leave the matter of Huoyun Temple to you, Taiping, and that senior！”
