　　Under normal circumstances, on the True Martial Sword Champion Ranking, it is extremely rare for such a situation to occur where the same cultivator is allowed to ask the sword twice in a row.
　　Because in this way, this cultivator will be able to continue to select a cultivator with a lower cultivation level than him and ask the sword with him.
　　So there was another uproar on the Western Zhou grandstand.
　　However, soon, only the angry shout of Elder Yu of Qilin Peak was heard, exploding above the Sword Flat——
　　“Be quiet！”
　　In an instant, the Western Zhou viewing stand was silent.
　　At this time, I saw Elder Yu’s figure suspended above the Sword Flat of Qilin Peak. After looking around the crowd seriously, he snorted coldly and said：
How dare you have any objection to the choice of the Sword Champion List?
　　At the True Martial Sword Champion Meeting, the choice of the Sword Champion List is the biggest rule. Even if the masters of the Nine Mansions come, they cannot change it.
　　Otherwise, perhaps even his mansion master will be expelled from the True Martial Heaven by the Sword Champion List.
　　As he spoke, Elder Yu first looked down at Lu You who was being carried off the Sword Flat on the Sword Flat, and then looked at Lu Xibai standing in the center of the Sword Flat.
　　Coincidentally, Lu Xibai was also looking at Elder Yu at this time.
　　So the two happened to look at each other.
　　Lu Xibai immediately smiled and narrowed his eyes at Elder Yu and said：
　　“Elder Yu, since it is the choice of the Sword Champion List, then the younger generation will come to ask the sword.”
　　Looking at the gaze cast by Lu Xibai, a trace of disgust flashed in the eyes of Elder Yu of Qilin Peak.
　　Immediately, I saw him nod expressionlessly and say：
　　“Wait for someone to carry it off the field, and you can ask the sword.”
　　As he spoke, Elder Yu’s figure flashed and disappeared above the Sword Terrace, returning to the seat behind the Sword Terrace.
　　Although Lu Xibai noticed the look of disgust in Elder Yu’s eyes, he, who was extremely good at disguising, still smiled and cupped his hands towards Elder Yu and said：
　　Thank you, Elder Yu.
　　Almost during the conversation between the two, Lu You of Huangfeng Valley had also been carried off the Sword Terrace.
　　Several elders of Huangfeng Valley and a group of disciples of Huangfeng Valley had long surrounded him and began to treat Lu You’s injuries.
　　And that Lu Xibai didn’t even look at Lu You. Instead, after sweeping his gaze over the remaining twenty-eight cultivators standing on the edge of the Sword Terrace, he suddenly raised his hand and pointed his sword at the third cultivator in the Tian Gang group on his left and said：
　　Lu Xibai of Wangyou Valley challenges Zheng Chu of Qingyang Temple！
　　As soon as these words came out, everyone’s eyes turned towards the direction pointed by Lu Xibai’s finger.
　　And some cultivators watching the battle who had heard of Zheng Chu of Qingyang Temple all had their brows tightly furrowed.
　　Because this Zheng Chu of Qingyang Temple was similar to that Lu You of Huangfeng Valley. Both of them had obtained the great opportunity of the revival of Zhenwu Tianling Qi, and their cultivation bases had only then improved rapidly.
　　Even Zheng Chu’s combat power might be inferior to that of Lu You.
　　Because he had just broken through to the Wangtian Realm half a year ago, and his realm was not even considered completely stable, let alone comprehending the true meaning and cultivating high-level techniques or swordsmanship.
　　After some True Martial Heaven cultivators learned about Zheng Chu’s true strength, they immediately cursed on the spot——
　　“Lu Xibai, if you’re still a man, then be the first to accept the sword challenge from our BaidiYoung Master！”
　　“Lu Xibai, picking on the soft persimmons, what kind of ability is that？”
　　But Lu Xibai completely ignored the angry curses from the viewing stand of Western Zhou, still just staring closely at Zheng Chu.
　　Seeing that Zheng Chu didn’t reply for a long time, he then urged：
　　“Fellow Daoist Zheng Chu, whether to accept the sword or not, please be straightforward.”
　　For a while, everyone’s attention once again fell on Zheng Chu.
　　Finally, Zheng Chu, who tightly clenched his fists, looked at Lu Xibai with some reluctance, and then helplessly raised the Zhige Order in his hand and said：
　　“I won’t accept this sword challenge.”
　　As soon as these words came out, there was an immediate wail on the sword platform in Western Zhou.
　　However, this time, the cultivators watching the battle on the viewing stand of Western Zhou on the sword platform did not blame Zheng Chu.
　　Because everyone knew very well that with Zheng Chu’s strength to accept Lu Xibai’s sword challenge, it was no different from courting death.
　　As a result, a large number of spectator cultivators from True Martial Heaven in the Western Zhou of the Sword Terrace left their seats again. Those who didn’t leave continued to furiously scold and rebuke that Lu Xibai.
　　Under helpless circumstances, the Nine Mansions activated the formations on the viewing platforms of each cloud building to eliminate those streams of abusive voices.
　　However, even if the formations were not activated, the influence of these abusive voices on Lu Xibai was also extremely limited.
　　I saw that Lu Xibai, with a smile on his face, looked at Elder Yu of Qilin Peak and said, “Elder Yu, it’s time for your judgment.”
　　Elder Yu of Qilin Peak stood up from his seat with a helpless expression on his face.
　　This time, instead of leaving his seat, he stood up on his own seat and loudly said to the crowd on the viewing platform from a distance：
　　In this round of asking the sword, Lu Xibai wins and obtains one Asking Sword Token. Zheng Chu has one Cease Fire Token revoked.
　　As he spoke, he simply raised his head and cupped his hands from a distance towards the illusory shadow of the True Martial Sword Ranking above his head and said：
　　I respectfully request the True Martial Great Emperor to select the third cultivator for asking the sword！
　　Almost at the same moment when his voice fell, Accompanied by the sound of the “clattering” of fluttering banners, wisps of golden smoke once again converged from the heads of the people on the Sword Terrace towards the True Martial Sword Ranking.
　　Before long, a name once again appeared on the True Martial Sword Ranking.
　　But when the crowd saw clearly that name, on the viewing stand in the west of the Sword Flat, one after another voice of surprise and doubt converged into a “torrent”, and finally with a “boom”, it suddenly exploded.
Because the name shows on the True Martial Sword Ranking was still that Lu Xibai.
　　This time, even that Lu Xibai showed a hint of surprise and doubt.
　　But immediately, he put away the look of surprise and doubt on his face, and once again looked at Elder Yu on Qilin Peak with a smile and narrowed eyes.
　　After Elder Yu frowned and stared at the name of Lu Xibai for a long time, he then shook his head helplessly and said：
　　“This is really strange.”
　　After saying this, his gaze once again swept over the Yunlou viewing stand in the west of the Sword Flat, and then he loudly announced：
　　“In the third round of the Celestial Gang Group, the person asking the sword is Lu Xibai.”
　　The crowd of True Martial Heaven cultivators on the viewing stand all sighed in unison.
　　However, to the surprise of the crowd, after Lu Xibai swept around the west of the Sword Flat, his gaze actually fell on Bai Di.
　　Many cultivators’ eyes suddenly lit up.
　　In their opinion, if Lu Xibai chose Bai Di, then the next competition would be interesting.
For a while, many cultivators who were about to leave sat back in their seats.
　　Immediately, in the nervous gaze of the True Martial Heaven cultivators on the stands, Lu Xibai raised his hand, extended a finger, and pointed at Bai Di.
　　So before Lu Xibai could speak, the True Martial Heaven cultivators on the stands couldn’t help but burst into a cheer.
　　But just when everyone thought that Lu Xibai would choose Bai Di in the last round for the sake of face, Lu Xibai’s hand suddenly moved a little to the left of Bai Di, to the True Martial Heaven cultivator closest to him, and then with a playful smile on his face, he loudly said：
　　“Lu Xibai from Wangyou Valley challenges the True Martial Heaven, Chu Ping’an！”
　　For a while, the angry roars of rage and the sighs of lament intertwined and came from the stands of the Western Zhou Cloud Tower.
　　Because in the eyes of everyone, except for the young master of Liuliu Village, Bai Di, no one could possibly be a match for this Lu Xibai.
　　Actually, it wasn’t just the people on the stands of the Western Zhou.
　　Even Xu Taiping, who was being pointed at by Lu Xibai at this moment, also had a look of surprise on his face.
　　Xu Taiping, who was originally thinking about how to challenge him without arousing Lu Xibai’s suspicion, didn’t expect that Lu Xibai would actually come to him on his own initiative.
　　And in the eyes of Lu Xibai and the cultivators on the stands of the Western Zhou Cloud Tower, the surprise on Xu Taiping’s face at this time was more like being caused by fear of Lu Xibai.
　　Then I heard that Lu Xibai, with a smile on his face and narrowed eyes, reminded Chu Ping’an, who was impersonated by Xu Taiping, and said：
　　“Daoist Ping’an, if you don’t want to take the sword, you can use that peace token of yours.”
　　But what Lu Xibai didn’t expect was that after hearing his words, Chu Ping’an suddenly shook his head and said：
　　“There’s　no　need.”
　　As he spoke, he saw that he, Chu Ping’an, turned around and bowed distantly in the direction where Elder Yu of Qilin Peak was located and said：
　　“The casual cultivator Chu Ping’an takes the sword！”
