After Xu Taiping quietly looked at Su Chan for a while, he shook his head and said:
Originally there was, but I think I have found some answers.
Originally, Xu Taiping still wanted to ask Su Chan why he betrayed Qingxuan and defected to Jiuyuan back then, but from the conversation just now, it was obvious that this was related to his original intention of seeking the Tao.
So Xu Taiping didn’t bother to waste words with him anymore.
Su Chan naturally heard the implication of Xu Taiping’s words.
But his expression remained calm, as if what Xu Taiping said had nothing to do with him.
Brother.
At this time, the little monkey Ping’an suddenly jumped onto Xu Taiping’s shoulder.
Ping’an’s expression carried a hint of unease and said:
Brother Baiyu saw the people from the Nine Mansions coming this way.
Xu Taiping gently patted Ping’an’s head and said:
I see.
Su Chan on the opposite side, at this time, smiled and asked Xu Taiping again:
Little Junior Brother, do you want to make this deal or not?
Su Chan added another sentence and said:
Use the lives of the disciples of the six peaks of Qingxuan Sect to bet on your life, you won’t lose.
Fairy Lingyue also looked at Xu Taiping at this time and said worriedly:
Taiping, think carefully.
Xu Taiping looked at Fairy Lingyue and then shook his head and smiled:
Sister Lingyue, you know me.
Unlike the former Xu Taiping, Xu Taiping, who has experienced several life and death experiences, has long been able to face his original heart.
So when facing this kind of choice in front of him, he would not hesitate at all.
Fairy Lingyue only nodded silently and didn’t speak anymore.
After lowering his head and seriously thinking for a while, Xu Taiping then looked up at Su Chan and said:
“I can bet with you, but you have to promise me one thing.”
Su Chan said straightforwardly:
“Speak.”
Xu Taiping said:
“Before this Sword-Questioning begins, release all the cultivators you have controlled with the power of breaking a branch except for those in that Sword-Questioning.”
After seriously thinking for a while, Su Chan replied:
“Old Mo is excluded.”
Xu Taiping’s brows furrowed slightly, and then he nodded and said:
“Alright.”
Seeing this, Fairy Lingyue on the side immediately reached out and touched her brow, using her finger to draw out an extremely thick aura of uprightness from her brow. Then, using this aura of uprightness as ink, she wrote a line of words extremely heroically——
“A promise is as valuable as a thousand pieces of gold. Those who violate it will have their souls scattered to the winds.”
Then, she crossed her arms and looked coldly at Su Chan and said:
“Press your handprint.”
The contract written with the true words of the Confucian school is more severe in punishment than the soul contract of the Taoist school. After pressing the handprint, even if Su Chan is the Demon Emperor her soul will immediately scatter to the winds.
Su Chan looked at the Confucian contract, hesitated for a moment, and finally said:
“I want to add one more condition.”
Xu Taiping nodded and said:
“Let’s hear it.”
Su Chan said:
“You must not reveal the slightest bit of what happened here to the Jiufu, including your other identity as Chu Ping’an.”
Xu Tianping’s expression turned cold and said:
“Do you still want to continue to stir up the conflict between the casual cultivators of the True Martial Heaven and the disciples of the sects?”
At present, the only way to quell the conflict between the casual cultivators and the disciples of the sects outside is to make public the news that Chu Ping’an and Chu Qiuya are still alive.
And this is exactly what Xu Taiping plans to do next.
Su Chan smiled and said:
“Little junior brother, I always have to leave a way out for myself, don’t I?”
Seeing that Xu Taiping was still hesitating, Su Chan continued:
“Little junior brother, to be honest with you, all my plans have ended after your sword interrogation.”
As if afraid that Xu Taiping would not believe it, Su Chan added with a smile:
“This sentence of mine can also be written into your Confucian contract.”
Hearing this, Xu Taiping looked at Fairy Lingyue aside, as if asking her for verification.
Fairy Lingyue nodded and said:
“If he lies, he will also immediately lose his soul.”
After hearing this, Xu Taiping nodded and said:
“If this is the case, I can agree to this deal.”
Now in Liuxian Town, although the conflict between the casual cultivators of the True Martial Heaven and the sect cultivators is great, it has not yet reached the point of being tense and incompatible.
At least both sides attach great importance to this Sword Lord Assembly.
So in Xu Taiping’s view, before the first round of the Sword Question Test is completely over, the two sides should not fight.
Of course, even if they really fight.
Upon hearing this, Su Chan didn’t say a word and immediately reached out and gently tapped on the deed transformed by the Confucian true word of Fairy Lingyue.
Immediately, a fingerprint appeared below that true word.
Seeing that the true word didn’t have any reaction, Xu Taiping and Fairy Lingyue looked at each other, confirming that what Su Chan said was not false.
Then, Xu Taiping also stretched out a finger and gently pressed it below that true word.
After the two fingerprints were stamped, that true word once again turned into a surge of noble spirit and returned to the center of Fairy Lingyue’s eyebrows.
Then, I saw Su Chan stretching out her hand to Xu Taiping and said:
Little junior brother, you can give me those two demonic seeds now?
Xu Taiping didn’t say anything. He first took out the demonic seeds of the Witch Su Xue and the Stone Demon from the gourd and handed them to Su Chan.
Immediately, a crack appeared in the palm of Su Chan’s illusory shadow, sucking both of those demonic seeds in.
Then, I heard Su Chan narrowing her eyes and smiling at Xu Taiping and said:
Little junior brother, see you on the Sword Asking Flat on the top of the Heavenly Pillar in ten days.
When saying this, Su Chan had a thick smile on her face, and it seemed that she really wanted to see Xu Taiping die in that sword-questioning.
After Su Chan’s figure dissipated, Immortal Lingyue immediately looked at Xu Taiping with some worry and said:
Although the cultivation level of the cultivator whose soul has been swapped by the power of the broken branch cannot be higher than the original cultivation level, they are after all carefully selected devil cultivators by Su Chan and each of them must have something extraordinary.
Although Immortal Lingyue believed that if Xu Taiping let go and fought, few people below the Asking Heaven Realm would be his opponents.
But this time Xu Taiping was facing, after all the devil cultivators specially prepared by Su Chan for him.
So Immortal Lingyue’s mood at this moment was still very uneasy.
Xu Taiping smiled frankly at Immortal Lingyue and said:
Sister Lingyue, I pressed my handprint on the contract with Su Chan, but you didn’t.
Immortal Lingyue was first stunned, and then her eyes lit up and said:
Did you just use the power of lingering attachment to see something on that Su Chan?
Xu Taiping nodded, and then raised his hand and pointed to the window and said:
When I entered this room, I saw a line extending from this window on that virtual shadow of Su Chan.
Saying this, Xu Taiping looked at Immortal Lingyue with a smile and continued:
Perhaps we can find the hiding place of Su Chan from this clue.
If it weren’t for this, even if Xu Taiping would eventually agree to that Su Chan, he would at least seriously consider it for a few days before that.
Fairy Lingyue’s eyes were a little excited and said:
“There are still ten days, and he will definitely be found!”
……
Nine days later.
In the inn where the disciples of Qingxuan Sect were staying.
Sect Master Zhao Qian returned to his residence with a worried look on his face. Du Gu Qingxiao, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately stood up and said:
“Master, how is Junior Sister Linglong?”
Zhao Qian sighed and said:
“Her life is saved, but she forcibly controlled the power of the Triple God General and is very likely to have hurt her foundation. I’m afraid she will stop at Asking Heaven for the rest of her life.”
Du Gu Qingxiao shook his head when he heard this and said:
“Being able to save her life is more important than anything.”
Zhao Qian nodded at this time.
He seemed to have thought of something and immediately looked up at Du Gu Qingxiao and said:
“Is there any news from Taiping?”
Du Gu Qingxiao shook his head helplessly and said:
“The people from the Nine Mansions haven’t been able to open the door to the cave in that Jinting yet.”
Zhao Qian sighed again, and then reached out and gently touched the spirit mirror in front of him.
In an instant, the list of the last sword-asking tomorrow appeared on the spirit mirror.
Immediately, the eyes of Zhao Qian and Du Gu Qingxiao beside him all landed on a name in the list——
“Qingxuan Sect, Xu Taiping.”
Zhao Qian said with a bitter smile:
“Taiping, I originally thought that you could catch up like you did in the Seven Peaks Tournament. Now it seems that it’s too late.”
