　　Xu Taiping didn’t think the Fairy Lingyue’s words were a joke, so he seriously wrote down this matter in his heart and nodded：
　　“At that time, unless that Bai Di names me to ask for a sword first, otherwise I will never ask him for a sword in advance.”
　　In Xu Taiping’s opinion, since he wants to win in this competition, then he must not let go of any opportunities and conditions that can be grasped.
　　Zhao Linglong seemed to be infected by Xu Taiping’s thoughts and immediately promised him：
　　“Don’t worry, little junior brother. I will get as much information as possible for you about these cultivators in the same group as you.”
　　When saying these words, she habitually swept a glance at the names floating in the air above the spirit mirror.
　　However, just as Zhao Linglong’s gaze was about to sweep past those dozens of names.
　　Her gaze was suddenly pulled back by an extremely familiar name.
　　Immediately, her gaze with a hint of anger fixed on that name—
　　“Worry-free Valley, Lu Xibai.”
　　After Xu Taiping followed Zhao Linglong’s gaze and saw this name, he immediately frowned and said：
　　“Why isn’t this person dead yet？”
　　This Lu Xibai is none other than one of the thirteen arsonists in the secular Daliang Kingdom back then.
　　At that time, after he killed Liang Chengshan in the Dry Stone Sea, the next target was actually this Lu Xibai.
　　It’s just that first he encountered the Nine Dragons Covering the Sun, and then followed Qingtong Evil Monarch and the others to Jinting Mansion to deal with the Yuan Lord, so he didn’t have time to take care of this Lu Xibai.
　　But now, decades have passed since then, and Xu Taiping thought he had already died at the hands of his second senior brother or other True Martial Heaven cultivators.
　　He never expected that this guy is still alive and well.
　　Zhao Linglong on the side heard Xu Taiping’s words and immediately asked with a puzzled expression：
　　“Taiping, did you already know that this Lu Xibai is also one of the thirteen arsonists back then？”
　　Xu Taiping was stunned and then remembered that he knew that Lu Xibai was an arsonist, but he didn’t tell Zhao Linglong and the others at that time.
　　Xu Taiping then nodded and explained：
　　“After interrogating that Liang Chengshan back then, I originally wanted to search for the evidence of this Lu Xibai and then ask him for his crimes.”
　　“However, later I was involved in that turmoil and had to give up.”
　　Zhao Linglong nodded upon hearing this and then also explained to Xu Taiping：
　　“We also discovered that this Lu Xibai was very likely to be one of the arsonists back then during a chance training seven years after you disappeared.”
　　“But at that time, the Lu Xibai had already destroyed all the evidence of that year, and he had become the son-in-law of the Wangyou Valley, supported by the Valley Master of the Wangyou Valley.”
　　“Therefore, even though we knew he was the arsonist of that year, we had no way to deal with him.”
　　When saying this, Zhao Linglong suddenly smiled slyly and then continued：
“Later, we heard that this Lu Xibai intended to participate in this True Martial Swordmaster Conference, so the nine mansions discussed together and exceptional sent him the Sword Question Order.
　　Upon hearing this, the Lingyue Fairy on the side smiled with full appreciation in her eyes and said：
　　“This plan is wonderful.”
　　The Lingyue Fairy continued：
　　“When he accepts the Sword Question Order, the sword cultivators of True Martial Heaven will be able to openly chop him under the sword at the True Martial Swordmaster Conference.”
　　“If he is not willing to accept the Sword Question Order, it is equivalent to admitting to the five directions of the world that he is indeed one of the arsonists.”
　　“At that time, even if he is willing to bear this bad reputation, the Wangyou Valley will definitely not be willing.”
　　Zhao Linglong nodded vigorously and said：
　　“What the Fairy said is right.”
　　Zhao　Linglong　continued：
　　“Since this Lu Xibai accepted the Sword Question Order, the major immortal mansions of True Martial Heaven have been looking forward to having their disciples grouped with this Lu Xibai.”
　　“Our Qingxuan Sect is the same.”
　　“When I came, I also asked Second Senior Brother and Senior Sister, and as a result, among the opponents in their groups, there was no such Lu Xibai.”
　　When saying this, Zhao Linglong looked at Xu Taiping with a smile and said：
　　“Unexpectedly, it was you, Taiping, who encountered him.”
　　“Little Junior Brother, your luck in this Sword Champion Conference is really good.”
　　Hearing the word “luck”, Xu Taiping felt a bit helpless in his heart, but on his face, he still smiled at Zhao Linglong and said：
　　“I’m taking advantage of Senior Sister.”
　　Immediately after, he said with a serious face：
　　“In this first round of the competition, as long as this Lu Xibai doesn’t lose before I ask him with my sword, I will definitely ask him with my sword and give a thorough explanation to the ten million dead common people in the Great Liang Kingdom.”
　　Upon hearing this, Zhao Linglong also nodded seriously and said：
　　“I believe you can do it, Taiping！”
　　Next, the few people carefully checked the list again. After confirming that there were no more cultivators on the list who needed special attention, Zhao Linglong was relieved to put away that spirit mirror.
　　At this time, while picking up vegetables for Zhao Linglong, Xu Taiping continued to ask Zhao Linglong for advice and said：
　　“Senior Sister, I came back in a hurry and I only have a half-baked understanding of the rules of this True Martial Sword Champion Conference. Can you tell me in detail？”
　　Regarding this True Martial Sword Champion Conference, Xu Taiping only had a general understanding.
　　Regarding the specific rules among them, in fact, his understanding was not deep.
　　Zhao Linglong took a couple of “sizzling” sounds, swallowed a mouthful of mutton, and then nodded repeatedly at Xu Taiping and said：
　　“I was originally going to tell you about this matter this time.”
　　She picked up the tea beside her and took a sip, then put down her chopsticks and looked at Xu Taiping with her eyes and said：
　　“Because this is the first time in more than ten thousand years that the True Martial Heaven has reopened the Sword Supreme Meeting, so in terms of the rules, there are quite a few differences from the previous Sword Supreme Meetings.”
　　Immediately afterwards, Zhao Linglong explained the rules of this True Martial Sword Supreme Meeting to Xu Taiping one by one.
　　According to Zhao Linglong’s explanation, this True Martial Sword Supreme Meeting is divided into three rounds in total.
　　These three rounds are respectively.
　　The first round, Asking the Sword.
　　The second round, Seizing the Sword.
　　The third round, Sword Supreme.
