　　“How does it compare to the swordsmanship of my Qingxuan Sect？”
　　This question really stumped Xu Taiping.
　　The sword strike that Mu Yun sent him today was indeed very powerful. If we were to compare them, perhaps only Sect Leader Zhao Qian of their Qingxuan Sect could match it.
　　However, when it comes to the sword intent, Xu Taiping always felt that each of the seven peak masters of the seven peaks of the Qingxuan Sect did not seem to be weaker than the sword strike that Mu Yun had just invited.
　　”Moreover, it seems that the sword of Qingxuan is more interesting.”
　　After serious consideration, Xu Taiping muttered in a low voice.
　　”Taiping, this sword of Guangling Pavilion is to relieve you from the siege. It’s not very good for you to say that, is it？”
Fairy Lingyue reminded Xu Taiping with a bit of a at a loss expression.
Once it comes to cultivation, Xu Taiping instinctively becomes a bit serious.
　　”It’s really not good to say that.”
　　Reminded by Fairy Lingyue, Xu Taiping also found that what he said was a bit too unworldly. Immediately, he smiled awkwardly and picked up the jade slip in his hand to transmit the voice and said：
　　”This sword, only the sect leader of my Qingxuan Sect can match it.”
　　Soon, Mu Yun’s voice came from the jade slip – “Uncle Lou has only been practicing swordsmanship for three years. If he hears this, he will definitely be very happy.”
　　Hearing this, Xu Taiping’s eyes lit up, and he said in surprise：
　　”Uncle Lou has such power after only three years of practicing swordsmanship？”
　　He didn’t think that Mu Yun was joking with him.
　　“Dare I ask this senior who just made the sword move, what exactly did the Liu family of Tianxia Du offend you？”
　　Just then, from within the Liu residence enveloped by the sword light, a hoarse shout of inquiry suddenly rang out.
　　“Boom！”
　　Immediately after, an old man with silver hair and a long beard was seen holding a jade disc with both hands, slowly lifting the sword light out of the Liu residence.
　　“It’s the Liu family’s old ancestor, Liu！”
　　“The Liu family’s old ancestor has made a move！”
　　Seeing this scene, among the onlookers in the distance, someone suddenly exclaimed in surprise.
　　“The Liu family really has some ability. There is actually someone who can receive a sword strike from this Uncle Lou of Guangling Pavilion.”
　　Xu Taiping was somewhat surprised.
　　“Boom！”
　　But just as he was thinking this, he saw that the sword light from Guangling Pavilion suddenly had its aura surge.
　　“Bang！”
　　In an instant, the jade disc in the hand of the Liu family’s old ancestor shattered, and he himself was pierced by the sword qi and fell headfirst towards the ground.
　　However, this time, the sword light did not fall again but hovered above the Liu residence.
　　“Dare I ask senior, what exactly did the Liu family of Tianxia Du do wrong that you want to use such a vicious hand？”
　　Under the astonished gazes of the crowd, the Liu family’s old ancestor once again got up from the ground and roared angrily at the sword light.
　　“When I, Lou Shi Yi, make a move, why do I need a reason？”
　　Suddenly, a voice of an old man full of dignity sounded within the sword light.
Although this voice had no emotion, when it spread out, it was like the waves, slapping heavily on the bodies of the surrounding onlookers.
　　”Lou Shiyi… Are you the Great Elder Lou of Guangling Pavilion？！”
　　After hearing the name “Lou Shiyi”, the angry expression on the face of the Old Ancestor of the Liu family disappeared in an instant.
　　The name Lou Shiyi is not well-known throughout the entire Jueming Heaven, but every cultivator who knows this name shows him three points of respect.
Because this Lou Shiyi is one of the very few sword cultivators who survived and walked out of the Heavenly Demon Battlefield during the last Heavenly Demon Battle.
　　”Elder Lou, you can exterminate my Liu family, but can you let me and the Liu family behind me die understandingly？”
　　The Old Ancestor of the Liu family looked at the sword light above his head with a look of dejection.
　　In the face of such a powerful person, he knew that he had no room for resistance and could only wait for death.
　　”This old man doesn’t have the leisure to exterminate your Liu family. If you want to know the reason, you can check if your Liu family has bullied anyone recently.”
　　After throwing down this sentence, the sword light that originally covered the entire Liu residence suddenly receded like a tide.
　　”Zheng！”
　　With another sword chirping sound exploding, the sword light hanging above the Liu residence suddenly shot up into the sky and disappeared.
Although the sword light disappeared and the pressure dissipated the great mountain that had been pressing on the heart of the Liu family’s old ancestor had not been removed.
　　“A group of good-for-nothing idiots who are more likely to spoil things than to accomplish them. Exactly who has caused such a great disaster for me outside again? Come forward and confess quickly！”
　　Looking at the almost ruined Liu family mansion and recalling the previous words of Lou Shiyi, the old ancestor of the Liu family roared furiously.
　　This angry roar could be heard almost in half of Tianxia Du.
　　The shrew Tang Yueru who was standing at the entrance of the Liu family compound’s courtyard could naturally also hear it.
　　“This Elder Lou, was… was… was he invited by you？”
　　Tang Yueru looked at Xu Taiping who was standing in front of the courtyard with a slightly trembling voice.
　　“Whether he was invited by me or not, wouldn’t you know if you invited me into your Liu family mansion to take a seat？”
　　Xu Taiping ignored that Tang Yueru and instead asked with a smile on his face.
　　In front of such evil people, Xu Taiping didn’t mind being more evil than them.
　　Upon hearing this, Tang Yueru slumped to the ground in a state of despair.
　　……
　　The　next　day.
　　In the private room of the Jufeng Tower teahouse.
　　“It’s really strange. Clearly making such a big commotion, those people lurking in the dark to ambush the Sanhuang Dao Palace can actually still remain calm and not show a single trace.”
　　Xu Taiping muttered in his heart while drinking tea.
　　After he asked Mu Yun to take action yesterday and found that the other party actually made such a big commotion, he then took the opportunity to let Fairy Lingyue use her divine soul to sense and see if any suspicious people could be found.
　　But unexpectedly, there was still no discovery.
　　“Buzz　buzz　buzz…”
　　Just as Xu Taiping was considering whether to consume another batch of gold essence coins and let the lotus pupil in his left eye deduce, the jade slip placed on the table suddenly trembled.
　　“This Brother Mu Yun, why is he here again？”
　　When he saw clearly the name and seal imprinted on the jade slip, Xu Taiping frowned.
　　From yesterday until now, Mu Yun has used this jade slip to transmit sound to him no less than twenty times, and each time it was about some trivial matters.
　　However, when he thought that he still owed Mu Yun a favor, Xu Taiping finally injected a wisp of true essence into the jade slip.
　　Immediately, Mu Yun’s voice came out from the jade slip——
　　“Brother Xu, have you eaten？ If not, why not come to my Guangling Pavilion and I’ll take you to taste the delicacies of my Guangling Pavilion.”
　　“Or you wait at Tianxia Du and I’ll come to find you.”
　　After listening to Mu Yun’s sound transmission in the jade slip, Xu Taiping was silent for a long time and finally chose to throw the jade slip into the gourd.
　　“The youngPavilion Master of this Guangling Pavilion is really enthusiastic about you, Taiping.”
　　Seeing this, Fairy Lingyue beside him giggled.
　　“I guess he should be like Shen Li. Although the part of his memory related to me has been sealed by the Great Emperor Xuanhuang, there are still some imprints left in his divine soul. It’s just that the impression left by Shen Li is a bad one, while the part left by Mu Yun is a good one.”
　　Xu Taiping didn’t think that Mu Yun’s kindness was without reason or worry.
　　“That　makes　sense.”
　　Fairy Lingyue took a deep look at Xu Taiping and then nodded.
　　After this experience in the Xuanhuang Pagoda, Lingyue now increasingly feels that Xu Taiping has become much more mature than before.
　　“Bang,　bang,　bang！”
　　At this time, the door of the private room was suddenly knocked on.
　　“Young Master Wuyou, it’s me, Lian’er.”
　　Fang Lian’er’s voice came from outside the door.
　　The Young Master Wuyou in her mouth was the alias that Xu Taiping took after coming to Jue Ming Tian.
　　“Come in.”
　　Xu Taiping, who had already sensed Fang Lian’er’s aura, shouted towards the door of the private room.
　　After warning the Liu family in Tianxia Du, Xu Taiping didn’t choose to leave Tianxia Du or hide in the dark, but took advantage of this identity to stay.
　　Because in his opinion, disappearing or leaving at this time was more likely to arouse the suspicion of those killers lurking in the dark.
　　“Young Master, this is the tea that my grandfather asked me to give you. Thank you, Young Master, for your heroic action this time.”
　　Fang Lian’er put an old earthenware pot on the table beside Xu Taiping.
　　“Miss Lian’er, it was you who acted bravely.”
Xu Taiping smiled and pushed the clay pot of tea back.
　　“Young Master Wuyou, this tea was brought back by my grandfather from the Dead Stone Sea when he was young. You should take it and have a taste.”
Fang Lian’er pouted and insisted that Xu Taiping accept the pot of tea leaves.
　　Upon hearing that this tea leaves came from the Dead Stone Sea, Xu Taiping dared not accept it even more.
　　However, just as he was pushing and pulling with Fang Lian’er, his left hand with the lotus pupil mark accidentally touched Fang Lian’er’s hand.
And at that moment, the lotus pupil curse mark in his palm suddenly lit up, and a scene entered his mind —
Inside the chaotic Gathering Wind Tea House, a cold voice keeps echoed in the building: “Hide and seek, hide and seek. When I count to ten, I will come and find you. Whoever is not hidden well, I will eat them.”
　　 Immediately , that voice began to count：
“One, two, three…”
　　In the midst of this counting voice, Fang Lian’er, with a flustered expression, began to hide around with the money pot in her arms.
　　Finally, she hid under the table of a private room.
Fang Lian’er, who was hiding under the table, while clasping her hands together and whispering a prayer: “May the Bodhisattva bless, may the Bodhisattva bless. Don’t find me, don’t find me.”
　　“Hey！ ……”
　　But just at this moment, a bald head suddenly poked into the bottom of the table and looked at Fang Lian’er, saying, “Found you！”
　　After that, he grinned, revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth.
　　Immediately, in Fang Lian’er’s shrill scream, the neither-human-nor-ghost monster reached out its hand towards Fang Lian’er.
　　And Xu Taiping, through Fang Lian’er’s perspective, clearly saw that the monster’s hand had only four fingers.
After being stunned for a moment, Xu Taiping’s heart was shocked and he said,
　　“Four fingers… Aren’t these the group of people who ambushed the disciples of the Three Sovereigns Dao Palace？ They… they aren’t human, but demons？！”
