　　“Liu Zijin？”
　　“Could this be the abandoned disciple from Wufeng back then？”
In the side room on the viewing stand, the master of Liufeng, Leng Qingqiu after seeing the appearance of the woman on the sword platform clearly, immediately looked at the sect leader Zhao Qian beside her in surprise.
　　When Liu Zijin came onto the stage, not only did he not change his appearance, but he also changed into the clothes he was wearing when he left Qingxuan back then. Therefore, all the peak masters and elders of Qingxuan Sect on the viewing stand recognized him at a glance.
　　The reason why they remember this so clearly.
　　It was really because the matter of the Liu Zijin sisters being killed by Lu Chen back then and then going to assassinate Lu Chen had caused too much of a stir. It was hard not to remember.
　　Especially back then, Liu Zijin was just expelled from Qingxuan, and then Lu Chen’s head was chopped off.
　　This matter didn’t completely subside until the Seven Peaks Competition, when Sect Leader Zhou Tong lost in the sword asking.
Zhao Qian, who had just returned to the side room, let out a soft sigh and nodded:
　　“It’s him.”
　　Du Gu Qingxiao beside him, however, said with a solemn expression：
　　“Actually, as early as before the Swordmaster Conference started, we had already found out that the woman beside Cui Tiegǔ was Liu Zijīn. It’s just that we didn’t expect that she would be in the same group as Taipíng to ask the sword.”
　　Meng Qīngqiū, the master of the Sixth Peak, immediately frowned and said：
　　“This child Zijīn has a grievance against Qīngxuán. I’m afraid she will still choose Taipíng in this sword-asking.”
　　The sect leader, Zhào Qiān, folded his arms across his chest and then muttered：
　　“This Liu Zijīn already has a grievance against Qīngxuán. Coupled with the instigation of that person behind the scenes, this sword-asking is inevitable unless Taipíng uses the Zhǐgē Order.”
　　Dúgū Qīngxiāo nodded and then frowned and said：
　　“I will send a voice transmission to Taipíng again later to see if I can get him to end this sword-asking.”
Six cultivators in a row asked the sword to the same person The voice transmission of the seriously ill Zhao Linglong and Xu Taiping’s abnormal actions of rather dying on the stage than admitting defeat and ending the competition has already made him and the sect leader Zhao Qi beside him conclude that this sword-asking itself is a conspiracy against Xu Taiping.”
　　Meng Qīngqiū then asked Dúgū Qīngxiāo again：
　　“What is Liu Zijīn’s current cultivation level？”
　　Dúgū Qīngxiāo seriously thought about it and then said：
　　“According to the description in that intelligence, after being driven down the mountain, Liu Zijin switched to the path of a pure warrior. It is said that his combat power is already comparable to that of Jiang Cuicui, the female war god in Youyun Tian.”
　　Meng Qingqiu immediately furrowed her brows and said：
　　“Now that Xu Taiping has fought six consecutive battles, I’m afraid he won’t be able to win this Sword Questioning.”
　　As she spoke, her gaze turned to Sect Leader Zhao Qian beside her and asked：
　　“What are your plans next？”
　　Even though Meng Qingqiu didn’t know as much as Zhao Qian and Du Gu Qingxiao, she could still tell from the current situation that even if Xu Taiping lost, today’s matter would by no means end so simply.
　　Zhao Qian snorted coldly and said：
　　“What else can we do？ Naturally, we will take Taiping back to Qingxuan！”
He had already made up his mind that no matter what method Xu Taiping used to break the Broken Bone Curse he had to take him back to Qingxuan and never let him repeat Su Chan’s mistake.
　　Upon hearing this, Meng Qingqiu nodded and said：
　　“Alright, I will now notify the peak masters of each peak to come to Taiyue Immortal Mansion together.”
　　When she said this, Meng Qingqiu’s expression turned cold and she said coldly：
“If the Nine Mansions dare to stop, we will kill our way back to Qingxuan.”
　　The current Qingxuan Sect is already of one mind from top to bottom, not to mention when it comes to saving Xu Taiping.
　　……
　　At the same time.
　　On the Sword Terrace.
Xu Taiping, who had been bowing his body to restore qi and blood true essence, slowly raised his head.
　　He looked up at the gaze cast by Liu Zijin, and smiled without any surprise：
　　”Senior Sister Zijin, long time no see.”
Actually, as early as when he was sitting, Xu Taiping had already noticed Liu Zijin.
　　However, since he already knew in advance that all the sword-questioning cultivators in this group had been affected by Su Chan’s Broken Branch Power, he did not go up to say hello.
　　Of course, the most important reason was still because they were not familiar.
　　Liu Zijin pouted, her brows slightly furrowed, and asked：
　　”Just long time no see？”
　　Although Xu Taiping recognized her, the calm expression in his eyes when looking at her still made her feel an inexplicable pain in her heart.
　　After hearing the question asked by Liu Zijin, a flash of surprise suddenly appeared in Xu Taiping’s eyes.
　　Then, with sharp eyes, he looked at Liu Zijin and said：
　　”Is it really you, Senior Sister Zijin？”
　　He had a feeling that the Liu Zijin in front of him did not seem to be possessed by the soul of a demonic cultivator.
　　Liu Zijin did not answer, but just slightly raised the corners of her mouth and asked：
　　”Xu Taiping, can I ask you another question？”
　　Although Xu Taiping was very confused, he still nodded and said：
　　”Ask.”
　　Liu Zijin looked deeply at Xu Taiping, and then said seriously：
　　”Why did you kill Lu Chen for me？”
　　Ever since seeing Lu Chen’s head in the box with her own eyes, Liu Zijin had wanted to ask Xu Taiping this question.
　　Even one of the reasons why Liu Zijin was able to survive the hardest time after going down the mountain was because of this.
　　Xu Taiping didn’t expect that the question Liu Zijin wanted to ask him would be this.
　　After a moment of silence, he truthfully replied：
　　“Part of the reason is that your sister Liu Qingmei, who was forced to become a changgui, killed that Lu Chen. She should be able to rest in peace under the Nine Springs.”
　　Liu Zijin asked eagerly：
　　“And？”
　　After seriously thinking about it, Xu Taiping continued：
　　“When encountering injustice on the road, if one cannot speak out, it goes against the Dao heart.”
　　Liu Zijin, not giving up, asked again：
　　“Is there anything else？”
　　Xu Taiping shook his head and said：
　　“There isn’t.”
　　Hearing Xu Taiping’s answer so firmly, a thick color of loss suddenly appeared in Liu Zijin’s eyes.
　　Immediately, she raised her head and let out a long sigh of relief, and then said with a bitter smile：
　　“It should have been like this. What are you still expecting？”
　　After saying such a self-talk, Liu Zijin’s eyes suddenly became firm again.
　　Just at this time, the urging voice of Elder Fuyuan suddenly came from behind——
　　“Liu Zijin, it’s time for you to choose your opponent for the sword questioning.”
　　Not only Elder Fu Yuan, but also the numerous cultivators on the spectator stand of Western Zhou who couldn’t hear the conversation between the two also spoke up and urged.
　　Amidst this hubbub, Liu Zijin turned around and pleaded guilty to Elder Fu Yuan, saying,
　　“Thank you, Elder Fu Yuan, for the reminder.”
　　As she spoke, she once again looked at Xu Taiping.
　　However, just when the people on the spectator stand of Western Zhou thought that Liu Zijin was about to ask Xu Taiping for a sword duel, she instead cupped her hands high and deeply bowed to Xu Taiping, and then loudly said,
“Liu Zijin, thank you, Taoist Priest, for the life-saving grace in the past!”
　　This scene made the cultivators on the spectator stand of Western Zhou stunned at first, and then burst into a deafening exclamation.
　　Not only them, but even Xu Taiping was stunned there for a moment and didn’t react.
　　And that Liu Zijin, completely ignoring the voices from Western Zhou, looked at Xu Taiping with firm eyes and continued,
“Today, the Taoist priest is in trouble. How could Liu Zijin stand by and do nothing?
As she spoke, she cast her gaze on a middle-aged cultivator sitting, and then loudly said
　　“Free cultivator, Liu Zijin, challenges Yun Jing Dao Palace, Zhou Zaidao！”
As soon as these words came out, the voice of astonishment on the spectator stand of Western Zhou suddenly rose again.
　　The reason why everyone was so surprised was not only because Liu Zijin did not ask the sword to Xu Taiping, but also because the person Liu Zijin was about to ask the sword was Zhou Zaidao, the disciple of Yunjing Daogong with the highest cultivation base and the strongest combat power among this group of sword-asking！
