　　After seeing this scene inside the Moon Shadow Stone, everyone including Fairy Lingyue fell silent in unison.
　　In the room, for a while, only the sound of the boiling and rolling hot water in the side stove could be heard.
　　What made everyone silent was not the win or loss of this competition, but the terrifying killing power of the sword cultivators revealed by Amon and that Cui Tiegu in this competition.
　　Finally, Bai Yu was the first to break the silence —
　　“In this Sword Question, the Pure Yang Sword Sect not only lost the title of the First Sword Sect, but also lost a total of eight mountain peaks！”
　　Although the expression on Bai Yu’s face when he said this was very exaggerated, the content he said was not exaggerated in the slightest.
　　Because during the Sword Question between Amon and that Cui Tiegu, the afterwaves of the sword qi when the two fought each other first leveled eight surrounding mountain peaks.
　　Under the swords of the two, those peaks that were as high as three hundred and ten zhang were like tofu cubes, being chopped to pieces by the sword qi of the two.
　　Moreover, among these eight peaks, at least three had the protective mountain great formations arranged.
　　But even so, those three peaks were still cut in half by the long swords in the hands of the two.
　　Fairy Lingyue also muttered with a solemn expression at this time：
　　“I originally thought that Amon lost to Cui Tiegǔ in this sword-questioning because his swordsmanship regressed or the speed of his improvement was too slow.”
　　“Unexpectedly, Amon’s swordsmanship not only did not regress, but the speed of his improvement was extremely fast.”
　　“With this kind of strength, even against those cultivators from outside the sky, he would at least have the strength to fight.”
　　When she said this, Fairy Lingyue looked deeply at Cui Tiegǔ in the illusory shadow of the Moon Shadow Stone, and then continued with a sharp gaze：
　　“The reason why such an Amon still lost in this sword-questioning.”
“Is simply because this Cui tiegu’s swordsmanship is stronger!”
　　Zhao Linglong also nodded at this time and said：
　　“At that time, the Pure Yang Sword Sect even suspected that this Cui Tiegǔ was a strong cultivator disguised as a loose cultivator from a certain force in the upper realm. But after some investigation, the Nine Prefectures found that this person was not only not from the upper realm, but also born in the secular world of the True Martial Heaven.”
The reason why we are so sure is that the identity of this Cui Tiegu in the secular world was once the monarch of a downfall dynasty, and his deeds, from childhood to adulthood, were all recorded by the immortal mansion under his jurisdiction.”
　　After listening to Zhao Linglong’s introduction, Xu Taiping on the side frowned deeply and said：
　　”If this Cui Tiegu is indeed a casual cultivator, then what kind of terrifying opportunity did he get to be able to defeat Senior Amon in the sword-questioning competition？”
　　Zhao Linglong put away the Moon Shadow Stone, and then smiled helplessly and said：
　　”Fortunately, in this first round of sword-questioning, Taiping, you didn’t encounter that Cui Tiegu. Otherwise, if he picked you in the sword-questioning, I’m afraid you would stop in the first round.”
　　It’s not that Zhao Linglong doesn’t have confidence in Xu Taiping. It’s just that this Cui Tiegu is a bit outrageously strong.
　　Xu Taiping nodded in deep agreement and said：
　　”Indeed.”
　　He is the kind of person who, before the competition starts, is not afraid to envision the worst situation, and in the competition, he will not be afraid of any worst situation.
　　So not being able to encounter Cui Tiegu in the first round of sword-questioning is indeed a kind of luck in Xu Taiping’s opinion.
　　When talking about this, Xu Taiping suddenly asked Zhao Linglong worriedly：
　　”Senior Sister, how is Senior Amon after that sword-questioning？”
　　Zhao Linglong’s brows furrowed slightly when she heard this and said：
　　“I’m not too clear about the specific situation. I only know that after that sword-questioning, Senior Amon seemed to have evaporated from the human world, and there has been no news of him at all.”
　　“Even my father and the Nine Mansions couldn’t get any news about him.”
　　“There is a rumor that…”
　　When it came to this point, Zhao Linglong hesitated for a moment, but finally continued：
“There is a rumor that in that sword-questioning, the Dao Sect suffered a setback and was in a slump. Since then, he has been shut in the Daoist temple and is unwilling to see anyone.
　　After hearing this, Xu Taiping shook his head with very firm eyes and said：
　　“Senior Amon is definitely not the kind of person who will be in a slump because of a sword-questioning.”
　　Xu　Taiping　added：
　　“In those days, he lost countless times to Su Chan, and it didn’t damage his Dao heart by half！”
　　Zhao Linglong took a deep look at Xu Taiping and then smiled and said：
　　“At that time, Second Senior Brother also said the same thing.”
　　Just then, Fairy Lingyue, who had been silent for a long time on the side, suddenly spoke up and asked Zhao Linglong：
　　“Miss Linglong, since Bai Di is a disciple of Cui Tiegu, presumably he must also have something different from ordinary cultivators, right？”
　　Zhao Linglong nodded and said：
　　“The battle that made Bai Di famous was at the Qingyun Conference in the Absolute Nether Heaven. He challenged Mu Yun, the young master of Guangling Pavilion, and with one sword, he broke a source method that Mu Yun inherited from Guangling Pavilion.”
　　Upon hearing this, Fairy Lingyue and Xu Taiping exchanged a glance.
　　Then, only to hear Xu Taiping say thoughtfully：
　　“This at least shows that this Bai Di also has a source method.”
　　Xu Taiping knew the strength of Mu Yun from Guangling Pavilion.
　　Although he couldn’t be considered among the top in the same generation of cultivators in first-class sects, he could still be regarded as an outstanding one.
　　The fact that Bai Di was able to defeat Mu Yun with one sword was enough to show that his strength was not false.
　　At this time, Zhao Linglong added：
　　“However, that battle was already more than ten years ago. With the speed at which Bai Di’s cultivation has advanced, his current cultivation and combat power should be far better than that at that time.”
　　Xu Taiping silently wrote down these in his heart, and then asked again：
“Senior Sister, is there a record of the sword challenge between Bai Di and Mu Yun?”
　　Zhao Linglong nodded with a smile and said：
　　“Regarding this Bai Di, our Qingxuan Sect has a lot of intelligence. After I go back, I will try to get it for you.”
　　Upon hearing this, Xu Taiping’s heart rejoiced.
　　Just then, Fairy Lingyue suddenly pointed to a name that appeared above the spirit mirror and said：
　　“Coincidentally, the young master of Guangling Pavilion in the Absolute Nether Heaven has also been assigned to the same group as Taiping.”
　　Saying that, the Fairy Lingyue suddenly gave Xu Taiping a sly smile and said：
　　“These two people might fight again at that time. Taiping, you can just watch the battle.”
