　　Upon hearing this, boos rang out for a while on the stands in the west of the Sword Flat.
　　And the Yellow Sparrow and Dugu Qingxiao in that stand attic both furrowed their brows.
　　Only to hear Dugu Qingxiao murmur：
　　“The Wangyou Valley really is willing to go to great lengths.”
　　The Yellow Sparrow nodded and said：
　　“The foreign cultivators invited by the Sword Supreme List all have some strength. To make them not afraid of being despised and still ask the sword of Chu Ping’an.”
　　“The Wangyou Valley must have offered them conditions they couldn’t refuse.”
　　Dugu Qingxiao was a little worried and said：
　　“In terms of one-on-one combat, this Chu Ping’an naturally doesn’t fear the cultivators on the Sword Flat. But if the more than twenty cultivators on the Sword Flat are really all persuaded by the Wangyou Valley.”
　　“Under their successive sword inquiries, Chu Ping’an’s true essence and blood may not be able to hold on.”
　　Upon hearing this, the Yellow Sparrow’s expression became serious and said：
　　“If that’s the case, whether Chu Ping’an can persist until the end of this sword inquiry is really hard to predict.”
　　When speaking of this, the Yellow Sparrow smashed his fist hard on the railing of the attic, and then looked at the stand where Mrs. Jinzhu of the Wangyou Valley and the others were located and said：
　　“Damned　Wangyou　Valley！”
　　……
　　Half an hour later.
　　With a loud “bang”, the twentieth sword-asking cultivator was kicked off the Sword Flat by Chu Ping’an with a single kick.
　　And this kick of Chu Ping’an.
　　Once again ignited the emotions of the True Martial Heaven cultivators on the west grandstand of the Sword Terrace.
　　For a time, the whole field boiled.
　　If not seeing it with their own eyes, even Huang Que would find it hard to imagine that the competition in front of them was the first round of the Sword Supreme Meeting, not the last round.
　　And at this time, the nine grandstands that could accommodate ten thousand people were already full.
　　There were even quite a few cultivators standing on the grandstands.
　　“Bang！”
　　Just then, on the Sword Terrace, Chu Ping’an suddenly staggered under his feet and knelt on one knee on the Sword Terrace.
　　This scene made everyone on the grandstand, including Huang Que, feel a tightness in their hearts.
　　Fortunately, soon, Chu Ping’an supported himself on the ground with his hands and stood up again.
　　So the fanatical True Martial Heaven cultivators on the grandstand once again burst into deafening cheers.
　　Especially those True Martial Heaven loose cultivators.
　　Seeing that Chu Ping’an, in the name of a loose cultivator, relying on a pair of fists, had defeated more than twenty sword-asking people in a row, they were all excited and danced with joy.
　　If it weren’t for the guards of the Nine Mansions stopping them, they might have already taken out wine to celebrate.
　　These loose cultivators of True Martial Heaven had been suppressed by the disciples of the sects and families for too long. Now that they finally saw a loose cultivator who could step on those disciples of the sects and families in such a grand event as the True Martial Sword Supreme Meeting, they were naturally overjoyed.
　　However, the Sparrow in the attic of the stands had a frown on his face at this time.
　　Beside him, Du Gu Qingxiao also had a solemn expression.
　　Then, I saw Du Gu Qingxiao shaking his head and saying：
　　This Chu Ping’an has consumed too much true essence and qi-blood.
　　Just now when dealing with that cultivator from Jue Ming Tian, his last punch seemed clean and neat, but it had also exhausted some of the remaining strength in his muscles and bones.
　　For a warrior, losing the power of qi-blood is no different from having their hands and feet chopped off.
　　Without the power of qi-blood, a warrior, not to mention the remaining few Huajing cultivators on the sword field.
Even a Lianshen Realm cultivator can use magic to kill him.
　　Du Gu Qingxiao continued to say：
　　According to the rules of the Sword Challenging Trial in the Sword Champion Conference, as long as a cultivator has more than nine Sword Challenging Orders in their hands, in the next sword challenge or when being challenged, if they lose once, they have to hand over all the Sword Challenging Orders in their hands to the other party.
　　So next, even if Chu Ping’an only loses one game, he has to hand over all the Sword Challenging Orders in his hands.
　　After hearing this, Sparrow nodded with a solemn expression and said：
　　That’s right, in this Sword Challenging Trial, in the second half, the more Sword Challenging Orders one has in hand, the more dangerous it is.
　　When saying this, Sparrow glanced at the remaining cultivators on the sword field, and then slightly relaxed and said：
　　“Fortunately, among the remaining Western cultivators, two are from our True Martial Heaven, and the other two are from Riding Dragon Heaven and Mysterious Wilderness Heaven respectively.”
　　“And Chu Ping’an still has a Peace Order in his hand.”
　　“I asked the people of the Nine Mansions to think of some ways to persuade the two cultivators from Riding Dragon Heaven. This Chu Ping’an should still be able to keep the Asking Sword Order.”
　　With this thought in mind, the Yellow Sparrow immediately picked up the jade slip in his hand and first transmitted a message to the master of the Nine Mansions, Liu Chuxuan.
　　The content of the message was nothing more than asking the Nine Mansions to come forward and negotiate with the sects behind the remaining Western cultivators on the Sword Terrace. Even if it cost some price, they had to protect Chu Ping’an and let him successfully enter the second round of the Sword Ranking Competition, the Sword Seizing Trial.
　　And just as the Yellow Sparrow was transmitting a message to discuss with the master of the Nine Mansions, the Sword Ranking List had already begun to select the cultivators for the next Asking Sword.
　　When that name completely appeared on the Sword Ranking List, a burst of cheering suddenly rang out on the stands of the Sword Terrace.
　　The Yellow Sparrow and Du Gu Qingxiao also both heaved a sigh of relief when they saw that name.
　　Immediately afterwards, only the Yellow Sparrow let out a long sigh and said：
　　“Fortunately, the Sword Ranking List selected this Bai Di this time. Otherwise, it would really be a bit difficult to handle.”
　　That’s right, the cultivator selected by the Sword Ranking List for this Asking Sword is exactly the young master Bai Di of Carp Willow Village.
　　Du Gu Qingxiao nodded and said：
　　”I heard that Bai Di has always liked to befriend casual cultivators and has extremely high prestige among casual cultivators. He should not make things difficult for Chu Ping’an, who is also a casual cultivator.”
　　And the reaction of the casual cultivators on the stands at this time was more direct than that of Du Gu Qingxiao and Huang Que.
　　Only heard several casual cultivators on the stands shouting loudly at Bai Di on the sword flat one after another：
“Young Master Bai Di, as long as you challenge one of the two Long Tian cultivators, you will be able to enter the next round of the Sword Club together with Young Master Ping’an!
“Young Master Bai Di, if you can join hands with Young Master Ping’an and break into the second round of the Sword Club’s sword seizing test it will surely become a good story in the Shang Qing Realm in the future!
　　With the sound of those shouts, the expressions of the casual cultivators on the stands began to become even more excited.
In their opinion, from the moment Bai Di was selected from the Sword List to challenge it was destined that in this round of competition, two casual cultivators would enter the next round hand in hand.
　　They even had already thought about how to celebrate for the two after this competition.
　　And just in the midst of the excited shouts of the casual cultivators, Bai Di directly stepped to the center of the sword flat, and then turned around and bowed to Elder Yu of Qilin Peak and said：
　　”Casual cultivator Bai Di has met Elder Yu.”
　　Elder Yu nodded and then asked：
“Choose your challenger from the Sword List.”
　　Bai Di nodded with a smile on his face, and then raised his head and cupped his hands towards the True Martial Sword Ranking and said：
　　“With the True Martial Great Emperor above, the free cultivator Bai Di desires to challenge the free cultivator Chu Ping’an today. I beg the Great Emperor to grant permission！”
　　Bai Di’s words were like a basin of cold water in winter, suddenly pouring down from the heads of all the free cultivators and True Martial cultivators.
　　A group of True Martial Heaven free cultivators, as if betrayed, roared at Bai Di on the sword platform with an incredulous look on their faces： “Bai Di, why do you want to challenge Young Master Ping’an？！”
