　　The first round, Asking the Sword.
　　In this round, the cultivators who are assigned to the same group will not be forced to have those two compete, but the cultivator who holds the Sword Asking Order will ask the cultivator who wants to challenge on his own initiative and seize the Sword Asking Order in the opponent’s hand.
　　Finally, the three people with the most Sword Asking Orders in their hands win.
　　The second round, Seizing the Sword.
　　In this round, the Nine Mansions will release nine immortal swords with the sword intent of the True Martial Emperor left, and let the cultivators of the nine groups who hold the Sword Asking Orders compete within the specified time.
　　After the time is over, whoever has the sword in their hand will be considered the winner.
　　At the same time, that sword will also belong to that sword cultivator.
　　The third round, the Sword Champion.
　　The rule of this round is the simplest. Among the sword cultivators who enter this round, the one who can stand on the arena under the Sword Champion Ranking until the end will be the Sword Champion of this Sword Champion Conference.
　　However, in each round of the competition, there are many rules restricting the sword cultivators. Zhao Linglong didn’t go into details one by one, but engraved them all in the jade slip and asked Xu Taiping to read it by himself.
　　Finally, Zhao Linglong summarized and said：
　　“The True Martial Sword Champion Conference will not restrict the age and cultivation level of the cultivators like the Golden Scale Conference. Any cultivator with a cultivation level above the Heavenly Gazing Realm and below the Shocking Heaven Realm can participate.”
　　“It’s just that in the case of a large difference in cultivation level, once the weaker side admits defeat, the stronger side must never kill, otherwise they will be directly removed from the Sword Champion Ranking.”
　　“Therefore, in the third round of the Sword Champion Conference, basically the ones who can stay are all the powerful sword cultivators in the Heavenly Asking Realm.”
　　“But even so, the rewards of the first and second rounds of the Sword Champion Conference are enough for the sword cultivators who win in these two rounds to benefit for life.”
　　Xu Taiping nodded upon hearing this.
　　He had no doubt about this.
　　After seriously thinking about it again, Zhao Linglong continued to say：
In addition, the list you have obtained now is all arranged by the Sword Champion Ranking and the nine prefectures cannot interfere.”
　　“Moreover, as for those who collude with each other and deliberately lose to the other party in the sword-questioning competition, the Sword Supreme List will not only remove them from the list, but also erase all their cultivation bases.”
　　“So there is no need to worry about fairness.”
　　Saying that, she handed the jade slip with the detailed rules of this Sword Supreme Meeting to Xu Taiping’s hand.
　　Xu Taiping took the jade slip, thanked, and prepared to study it carefully.
　　In his opinion, the True Martial Sword Supreme Meeting is different from fighting against the Yuan Lord in the Jinting Mansion. After all, it is a competition.
　　Since it is a competition, the most important thing is to understand the rules and use the rules.
　　“Buzz　buzz　buzz…”
　　Zhao Linglong, who had just finished explaining the rules to Xu Taiping, had just picked up the chopsticks, picked up a chopstick of meat, and was about to stuff it into her mouth when the sound-transmitting jade slip on the table rang.
　　“Who is this? They didn’t look for me earlier or later, but now they come to look for me…”
　　Zhao Linglong put down the chopsticks in her hand a little impatiently, and then picked up the jade slip on the table and held it tightly in her palm.
　　The next moment, in the confused eyes of Xu Taiping and the others, Zhao Linglong’s face first turned into surprise at a visible speed, and then turned into horror.
　　Immediately, without waiting for Xu Taiping and the Fairy Lingyue beside him to ask, Zhao Linglong looked at them with a hint of panic in her eyes and said, “Everyone, two very bad news.”
　　Xu Taiping immediately asked：
　　”What news？”
　　Zhao Linglong took a deep breath, and then said with a hint of unease in her eyes：
　　”Senior Sister just sent a message to me. In the first round of the Sword Questioning Trial, Cui Tiegu is on the list of the group where Second Senior Brother is. The two are very likely to meet.”
　　Xu Taiping was a little Don’t understand and said：
“Even if they are in the same group, as long as Second Senior Brother doesn’t take the initiative to ask the sword, then Cui Tiegu may not ask the sword of Second Senior Brother, right? After all, there is a considerable gap in the cultivation bases of the two.
　　In the detailed rules of the second round in the jade slip, it is stated that if a high-level cultivator wants to ask the sword of a low-level cultivator, he has to consume three sword-questioning opportunities.
　　Under normal circumstances, they will not take the initiative to ask the sword of a low-level cultivator.
　　Zhao Linglong shook her head helplessly and said：
“Taiping, you don’t know that after Cui Tiegu became famous in one battle, an adopted son of his in the secular world caused harm to one side by using his name. The cultivators of each mansion, because they were afraid of that Cui Tiegu, no one dared to accept the reward of the Nine Mansions and go to attack.
　　”Finally, Second Senior Brother couldn’t bear to see it and took on this reward. He went down the mountain in person and cut off the head of that adopted son of Cui Tiegu and sent it to the Nine Mansions.”
　　”After that, that Cui Tiegu came to Qingxuan Sect once.”
　　“But after fighting with Elder Black Dragon and seriously injuring him, he left directly and never came again.”
　　“Later, Father personally went to the dojo of that Cui Tiegu to completely settle this matter.”
　　“But Elder Black Dragon closed the door and refused to see him, only saying that it was perfectly just for a father to avenge his son and asking Father not to meddle in other people’s business.”
　　“But after that, neither Elder Black Dragon, nor his adopted sons, nor his disciples under his door have ever troubled Qingxuan Sect again.”
　　“At this point, this matter can be regarded as coming to an end.”
　　When saying this, Zhao Linglong sighed and then continued：
　　“We originally thought that after Second Senior Brother breaks through to the Asking Heaven Realm, even if that Cui Tiegu has a grievance against him, he can’t do anything to him. But unexpectedly, they actually met so early in this True Martial Sword Champion Conference.”
　　After listening to Zhao Linglong’s introduction, Xu Taiping also had a frown on his face and said in a low voice：
　　“In that case, it is very likely that because of the death of his adopted son, this Cui Tiegu will specifically name and challenge Second Senior Brother in the first round of the competition…”
　　The Fairy Lingyue, who had listened for a long time on the side, suddenly spoke at this time：
　　“Actually, an ordinary sword-asking competition is nothing. I’m just afraid that that Cui Tiegu will go all out to kill your Second Senior Brother.”
　　Xu Taiping nodded upon hearing this.
　　The Fairy Lingyue suddenly made a suggestion to Zhao Linglong at this time：
　　“Your Qingxuan Sect might find someone to mediate in this matter. Once the enmity is resolved, this won’t be a problem.”
　　Zhao Linglong nodded and said：
　　“I just thought so too.”
　　Xu Taiping suddenly shook his head with a bitter smile and said：
　　“I think the biggest problem now is that with the personality of the Second Senior Brother, even if someone mediates, he will still unhesitatingly challenge that Cui Tiegut to a sword fight.”
　　In his opinion, from the moment the list was announced on the Sword Sovereign List, this sword fight with Cui Tiegut was a competition that the Second Senior Brother, Dugu Qingxiao, could not avoid and would never avoid.
　　Zhao Linglong was stunned when she heard this, and then gritted her teeth and said：
　　“I’ll go persuade the Second Senior Brother right away！”
　　As she spoke, she stood up and wanted to leave.
　　However, as soon as Zhao Linglong stood up, she was stopped by Xu Taiping with a helpless look on his face——
　　“Senior Sister, you haven’t said the second bad thing yet.”
　　Zhao Linglong slapped her head when she heard this and said：
　　“I almost forgot about this matter.”
　　Then, only heard Zhao Linglong say with a somewhat mysterious tone：
　　“The second bad thing is that the Elder Chu who took Taiping you to hunt on Wuchang Peak was just found dead in the golden palace on the top of Wan’e Peak.”
　　Having said this, Zhao Linglong added with a hint of fear in her eyes：
　　“And he was, with a single sword strike, both his primordial spirit and body were nailed to the plaque of that golden palace！”
　　Upon hearing this, Xu Taiping first exchanged an inadvertent glance with Fairy Lingyue beside him, and then looked at Zhao Linglong in surprise and said：
　　“Senior Sister Linglong, you didn’t get this news wrong, did you？”
