　　In a short while, the several grandstands that were originally noisy became completely silent.
　　“Hmm…　hmm　hmm…”
　　At this time, Lu Xibai, with a bloody face, turned his head to look at Xu Taiping, clasped his fists with both hands, and with a look of pleading in his eyes, kept kneeling and bowing to Xu Taiping.
　　Chu Ping’an pressed his hand on the handle of the knife and looked at Lu Xibai expressionlessly and said：
　　“That day in the imperial city of the Daliang Kingdom, was it like this that the King of Daliang knelt down and begged you for mercy, asking you to spare the lives of his several children？”
After hearing this, Lu Xibai kept shaking his head, and in his mouth, he kept saying “wu wu wu something.
　　As if defending himself.
　　Chu Ping’an shook his head and said：
　　“Don’t defend yourself anymore. Let me answer for you.”
　　Chu　Ping’an　continued：
That day, not only did you not agree to the King of Daliang’s plea, but also in the front of him you insulted and brutally killed his several children.”
　　Upon hearing this, Lu Xibai stood there in disbelief with a stunned expression on his face.
　　Obviously, he didn’t expect that the person in front of him would actually know the situation of that day.
　　“Ceng！ ……”
　　At this time, Chu Ping’an suddenly pulled out the bone knife at his waist and walked step by step to the front of Lu Xibai.
　　Then, he pointed the knife at Lu Xibai’s neck and said solemnly in a loud voice：
　　“Please all of you bear witness together.”
　　“Lu Xibai of the Wangyou Valley, together with twelve other cultivators, burned down the mundane Daliang Kingdom of our Zhenwu Heaven, burning to death tens of millions of the people of the Daliang Kingdom.”
　　“For such evil deeds, if not killed, how can we comfort the souls of those tens of millions of dead people in heaven？”
　　As soon as these words were spoken, all the cultivators of Zhenwu Heaven on the stands all spoke out in agreement.
　　“If you want to frame someone, there’s no shortage of excuses.”
　　But just as Chu Ping’an was about to raise his saber to chop that Lu Xibai, the voice of an old woman coming from one of the stands suddenly suppressed the voices of all these True Martial Heaven cultivators.
　　Huang Que immediately recognized the owner of this voice.
　　I saw him frown and look at Du Gu Qingxiao and say：
　　“This should be the Valley Master of the Forgetting Sorrow Valley, Lady Jinzhu.”
　　Huang Que immediately added：
　　“This Lady Jinzhu is precisely the mother-in-law of that Lu Xibai.”
　　At this time, only heard that Lady Jinzhu, with anger in her tone, asked rhetorically：
　　“Elder Yu, this fellow first sealed his throat, and then forced my son-in-law’s Yuan Shen not to come out of its sheath.”
　　“This competition is clearly not a sword-asking, but a murder！”
　　Upon hearing this, Elder Yu of Qilin Peak first cupped his hands towards that Lady Jinzhu, and then replied neither humbly nor arrogantly：
　　“Lady, since the Sword Supreme List has not expelled Chu Ping’an from this Sword Meadow, it shows that what he has done does not violate the rules of the True Martial Sword Supreme Meeting.”
　　Elder Yu glanced at Chu Ping’an on the Sword Meadow who had already put away his saber, and then continued：
　　“Since it does not violate the rules of the Sword Supreme List, then this is a very fair competition.”
　　Upon hearing this, Lady Jinzhu snorted coldly and said：
　　”Elder Yu, your Nine Mansions are determined to make things difficult for our Carefree Valley, right？”
　　Elder Yu sneered and said：
　　”Madam Jinzhu, same here.”
　　The Nine Mansions and Carefree Valley had already reached a situation where they couldn’t tolerate each other as early as after that big fire.
　　So Elder Yu was not afraid of offending Madam Jinzhu.
　　And after finding that she couldn’t threaten the Nine Mansions, Madam Jinzhu turned to threaten Xu Taiping and said：
　　”Chu Ping’an, a total of ten people from our Carefree Valley have obtained the Asking Sword Orders of the Sword Chief Meeting this time.”
　　”As long as the knife in your hand dares to fall.”
　　”These ten disciples of our Carefree Valley will fight you to the death.”
　　When she said this, Madam Jinzhu paused for a while and then continued：
　　”Even if you are lucky enough to survive, there will be no place for you in the five regions of the world in the future.”
As soon as these words came out, the True Martial Heaven cultivators on the viewing platform of Western Zhou, worried that Chu Ping’an would be deterred by Madam Jinzhu’s words, expressing that as long as Chu Ping’an could kill Lu Xibai, they would be willing to take action to help.
　　However, the words of the cultivators on the viewing platform were soon suppressed by the voice of Madam Jinzhu again——
　　”Chu Ping’an, you are just a warrior and a freelance cultivator. Why bother to get involved in this dispute？”
　　”Even if you kill Lu Xibai.”
　　”Will the major sects of the True Martial Heaven Nine Mansions look at you highly？”
　　“In this True Martial Heaven, a freelance cultivator is just a freelance cultivator！”
　　This sentence made the freelance cultivators on the stage fall silent in unison.
　　Because in their view, just as Madam Jinzhu said, even if Chu Ping’an risked offending the Valley of Forgotten Sorrows to cut off Lu Xibai’s head, the various sects and families in the Nine Mansions would never look at him highly.
　　Because in the current cultivation world of True Martial Heaven.
　　Freelance cultivators are inferior by nature.
　　At this time, I only heard Madam Jinzhu continue to tempt：
　　“But our Valley of Forgotten Sorrows is different. We only recognize strength, not background.”
　　“As long as you spare Lu Xibai’s life, you can gain such a big backer as our Valley of Forgotten Sorrows. Such a good thing, why not do it？”
　　Everyone, including the Yellow Sparrow, after hearing this, nervously looked at Chu Ping’an one after another.
　　The reason why they were so nervous was because what Madam Jinzhu said was not an exaggeration, but the reality of True Martial Heaven today.
　　There is a huge gap between freelance cultivators and sect cultivators.
　　Even if you make contributions in this Swordmaster Conference, you can’t change this reality.
　　So in comparison, the promise of the Valley of Forgotten Sorrows is more practical.
　　And after quietly listening to Madam Jinzhu’s words, Chu Ping’an suddenly looked expressionlessly at the viewing platform where Madam Jinzhu was and asked rhetorically：
　　“Lady Jinzhu, have you made a mistake about something？”
　　Lady Jinzhu frowned and snorted coldly：
　　“Kid, what do you want to say？”
　　Xu Taiping took back his gaze from Lady Jinzhu, picked up the bone knife in his hand again, and said without looking up：
　　“I am willing to make this strike, only for the tens of millions of people in the Great Liang Kingdom who died in that great fire. Other than that, it has nothing to do with anyone.”
　　Hearing this, on the grandstand where the disciples of Qingxuan Sect were, a young girl suddenly burst into tears.
And the coquettish girl Jin Susu beside Lady Jinzhu, carrying an extremely terrifying pressure suddenly flew down from the grandstand to the sword flat and shouted angrily:
　　“Chu Ping’an, how dare you！”
　　But just as Jin Susu’s angry shout sounded, there was a “swish” sound. Chu Ping’an raised his hand and chopped off Lu Xibai’s head with a single strike.
　　“Brother Lu！”
　　Seeing this, the furious Jin Susu, after furiously howling in a crazy manner, suddenly clawed down violently towards the direction where Chu Ping’an was.
　　The next moment, a white bone claw shadow enveloped Chu Ping’an.
