Immediately, he helplessly explained to Liu Chuxuan:
“Lord Prefecture Master, this person is the freelance cultivator Chu Ping’an who climbed to the top of Myriad Evils Peak with his own strength a few days ago.”
When Liu Chuxuan heard this, his brows furrowed tightly and he said:
Why is it another loose cultivator again.
These days, those loose cultivators at the foot of the mountain have given him no shortage of headaches.
Liu Chuxuan then asked again:
What do you think of this person’s combat power?
Liu Chuxuan was not in the Nine Mansions a few days ago, so he was not very clear about the matter of Xu Taiping reaching the top of the mountain that day.
Huang Que immediately replied:
I once asked Chen Sheng, the sword immortal of the Pure Yang Sword Sect.
According to the Great Sword Immortal Chen’s statement, this Chu Ping’an’s combat power is indeed not bad, but he is more like a warrior rather than a sword cultivator.
Although it is said that in our True Martial Sword Supreme Association, warriors can also participate.
But after reaching the Huajing realm, whether it is sword cultivators or technique cultivators, in terms of combat power, they are all much stronger than warriors.
So in my opinion, this Chu Ping’an just got lucky and reached the top of the Myriad Evils Peak. In a real battle, I’m afraid he wouldn’t even be able to defeat those ordinary True Martial Heavenly cultivators.
Upon hearing this, the gaze of the Prefecture Lord Liu Chuxuan dimmed once again.
Immediately, he saw him wave his hand at Huang Que and say:
Huang Que, you go and keep an eye on today’s Sword Inquiry. There has been some progress in the matter of Elder Chu Qiuya, and I need to discuss it with several other elders.
Upon hearing this, Huang Que’s eyes immediately lit up, and then his eyes were full of eagerness as he asked Liu Chuxuan:
Have you found the murderer already?
Prefecture Lord Liu Chuxuan shook his head helplessly and said:
“The murderer has not been found yet.”
But then he added:
“But we have found a way to repair those broken Moon Shadow Stones in the Golden Hall. It should be able to be repaired within ten days or so.”
“By then, the murderer will naturally be found out.”
Upon hearing this, Huang Que nodded repeatedly with a look of joy on his face and said:
“If those Moon Shadow Stones can be repaired, finding the murderer is only a matter of time!”
Over the past few decades, because of the preparations for the True Martial Sword Champion Meeting, Huang Que has dealt with Chu Qiuya many times.
After seeing Chu Qiuya’s tragic situation that day, Huang Que made up his mind that even if the nine prefectures are powerless to investigate this matter for the time being, after the True Martial Sword Champion Meeting, he must also find out the truth.
At this time, Liu Chuxuan patted Huang Que on the shoulder again and said:
“Huang Que, the Sword Question Test of the True Martial Sword Champion Meeting in the next few days will be fully entrusted to you.”
This Sword Question Test is originally to screen out some cultivators. Coupled with today’s several times the cultivators on the True Martial Heaven side have almost no chance of winning.
Therefore, Liu Chuxuan felt relieved to hand it over to Huang Que to handle.
Upon hearing this, Huang Que immediately nodded seriously and said:
……
On the other side.
Zhao Linglong, accompanied by Fairy Lingyue, as well as Ping’an and Baiyu, came to the viewing platform of the cloud building on the far east side.
After finding their seats and sitting down, Zhao Linglong looked around the Western Zhou Dynasty and then said in surprise:
“Why are there more than half fewer cultivators coming to watch the battle today than yesterday?”
Fairy Lingyue said disapprovingly:
“If today’s competition is as boring as yesterday, there will only be more cultivators coming to watch the battle tomorrow.”
Hearing what Fairy Lingyue said, Zhao Linglong also nodded with a bitter smile and said: “Apart from the group of Second Senior Brother and Cui Tiegut yesterday, the other groups’ sword inquiries were indeed very boring.”
Baiyu on the side pouted and said:
“It’s not just boring. It’s simply a humiliation of the cultivators from the True Martial Heaven by the cultivators from the other few worlds!”
Zhao Linglong originally wanted to refute Baiyu, but when she thought of the scene yesterday where the cultivators from the True Martial Heaven were one-sidedly defeated by the cultivators from the other few worlds in the last few games, she finally chose to remain silent.
Not only them, but some of the cultivators from the True Martial Heaven who had already come to the viewing platform were all sighing when talking about yesterday’s competition.
“If it weren’t for the competition of Young Master Bai Di today, I wouldn’t even want to spend these thirty gold essence coins to come up to Qilin Peak to watch the battle.”
“Who says otherwise?”
“Those sect and family disciples were all so arrogant on weekdays. Unexpectedly, when facing the cultivators from outside, they didn’t even have the strength to fight back!”
After hearing these, Zhao Linglong felt even worse in her heart.
Ping’an, who was lying on Zhao Linglong’s lap, retorted in a low voice:
“Today there is still my Taiping-gege here!”
Upon hearing this, Zhao Linglong gently rubbed the little monkey Ping’an’s head and said: “Ping’an, when you watch the competition later, don’t expose Taiping’s identity.”
Ping’an immediately tilted its head back and nodded vigorously, saying:
“Sister Linglong, don’t worry, I won’t!”
Seeing its cute appearance, Zhao Linglong couldn’t help but “hehe” laugh, and then hugged its little head and rubbed it vigorously a few times.
Just at this moment, Accompanied by a “boom” sound, the huge black virtual shadow of the True Martial Heavenly Sword Ranking once again appeared above the Sword Flat of Qilin Peak.
Subsequently, only hearing a “clang” sound, the bronze bell suspended above the Sword Flat was rung again.
Immediately following, the voice of Elder Yu, the mountain-guardian elder of Qilin Peak, once again resounded throughout the entire Sword Flat——
“The first sword-questioning match today is about to begin.”
“Please ask the cultivators of the Heavenly Gang Group who are participating in this sword-questioning to come up to the Sword Flat.”
In an instant, the Sword Flat, which was originally noisy, suddenly became quiet.
And Zhao Linglong on the viewing platform was a little nervous and said:
“Taiping is going to play!”
Just as she was speaking, accompanied by sword chirping and the sound of breaking through the air the cultivators of the Celestial Gang Group who had been waiting for a long time on the seats below the Sword Flat suddenly broke through the air and flew down from all directions to the huge Sword Flat.
In just the blink of an eye, thirty cultivators, neither more nor less, neatly lined up along the edge of the Sword Flat.
After the cultivators of the Celestial Gang Group in this round of sword questioning appeared, a casual cultivator on the viewing platform suddenly shouted at the top of his voice:
“Young Master Bai Di, let these foreign cultivators take a good look. Our casual cultivators in True Martial Heaven are a hundred times stronger than those superficial sect and family disciples!”
Hearing this, the casual cultivators on the cloud tower viewing platforms around the Sword Flat, including the cloud tower viewing platform where Zhao Linglong was, burst into laughter.
And the disciples of the sects and families who came to watch the battle were so angry that their faces turned by tieqing.
What made these disciples of the sects and families feel the most uncomfortable was that although the words of these casual cultivators were very unpleasant, they simply couldn’t refute them.
Because at least in yesterday’s several rounds of sword questioning.
Except for Du Gu Qingxiao, almost all the sect and family cultivators were wiped out.
On the other hand, the casual cultivators here.
Although only Cui Tiegu participated in the competition, his winning rate was one hundred percent.
Just in the midst of this hubbub, Elder Yu of Qilin Peak once again spoke loudly and said:
“This round of the Sword Questioning will begin immediately.”
“Request the True Martial Sword Ranking to select the first Sword Questioning cultivator!”
As soon as these words were spoken, the sword flat of Qilin Peak, which was originally filled with the sound of discussion, once again quieted down.
Immediately afterwards, in a series of “rumbling” air explosion sounds, the illusory shadow of the True Martial Sword Ranking above the sword flat suddenly flipped and danced.
Then, wisps of golden smoke were seen rising from the bodies of the thirty Sword Questioning cultivators below.
After that, these golden smokes were seen converging into a name above the sword flat.
After seeing this name, the stands of Western Zhou once again erupted in an uproar.
Because, as long as they were True Martial Heaven cultivators, there was no one who did not recognize this name.
Because the name of the first Sword Questioning person was Lu Xibai of Wangyou Valley, once one of the thirteen arsonists in the secular world of Daliang in True Martial Heaven.
