With Gao Nu’s angry roar, the originally noisy stands and the angry shouts within the spirit mirror suddenly all stopped.
Whether one understands or not.
Whether one sympathizes or not.
In any case, no one can deprive an old father of the right to avenge his daughter.
Just regarding the reason for asking the sword, likewise, no one is more qualified than Gao Nu to participate in this sword asking.
This is the reason why everyone fell silent.
”The girl who was injured by the Lady of the Yu, couldn’t she be saved?”
In the midst of the audience silence Prefect Liu Chuxuan suddenly transmitted a voice to a walker of the Nine Mansions outside the field.
Soon, the voice of that walker came from within the jade slip —
”Reporting to the Prefect, because that little girl had extremely weak bones and was neither a cultivator nor a martial artist, after being severely injured by the Lady of the Yu, she immediately expired.”
”The elixirs we can use cannot save a person who has expired.”
After confirming that Gao Nu’s daughter had died, Liu Chuxuan could only helplessly shake his head and bitterly smile at Mu Zhixing beside him and say:
”The decree of the Sword Champion List has been issued. Unless the Nine Mansions forcefully take it back, there is absolutely no possibility of changing it.”
Hearing this, Mu Zhixing’s complexion also sank, and a look of worry appeared in his eyes.
If the Sword Supreme Ranking is taken away at this time, the decree of the Demon Mother will lose the obstacle and will surely ‘advance directly to the forefront’.
At that time, True Martial will surely become a battlefield of the Heavenly Demons.
The Mysterious Female True Monarch beside him disagreed and said:
“Knowing that it is a doomed situation, yet still letting a group of pillars of the cultivation world like Amon, Yunye, and Ye Qingnu sacrifice their lives in vain, can you, the master of the Nine Mansions, afford to bear this notoriety?”
Liu Chuxuan was left speechless by the words of the Mysterious Female True Monarch.
In fact, it was indeed as the Mysterious Female True Monarch said. If the Sword Supreme Ranking is not stopped from continuing to ask the sword with the Jade Decree of the Demon Mother, it is very likely that not only will the battle of the Heavenly Demons not be stopped, but also the Upper Pure will lose seven pillars of talent.
At this time, Elder Fu Yuan beside him also finally spoke after a long silence:
“Lord of the Mansion, you can indeed consider first taking away the Sword Supreme Ranking.”
Fu Yuan continued:
“Whether it is Amon or Du Gu Qingxiao, or Chen Hao, with the natural talents of these people, their future achievements will not be comparable to those of us old guys who are about to enter the earth.”
“We can’t let them lose their lives here in vain.”
After a slight hesitation, Liu Chuxuan suddenly looked at Zhao Qian and said:
“Brother Zhao, what do you think?”
In fact, he had already had the idea of taking back the Sword Champion List, but to really make a decision, he still needed the leaders of several major sects in the Nine Mansions to stand behind him.
After all, once the Sword Champion List was taken back, the casualties of each major sect were secondary.
The first casualties were still the loose cultivators and ordinary mortals in True Martial Heaven.
Zhao Qian didn’t answer, but looked at Xu Taiping and Du Gu Qingxiao beside him, and said expressionlessly:
“Qingxiao, Taiping, if you two don’t want to, we can go back to Qingxuan now.”
Once the mountain gate of Qingxuan Sect was closed, even if True Martial became a battlefield of the Heavenly Demons, they would have enough time to prepare.
Xu Taiping and Du Gu Qingxiao only needed to exchange glances, and they already understood each other’s thoughts.
However, just as Xu Taiping was about to speak, the sound of a crossbow suddenly came, interrupting his words——
“Lord Liu, the Sword Champion List cannot be taken back, and this Sword Question cannot be stopped!”
Then, Gao Nu, Qi Po, and Liu Gu all appeared in front of Lord Liu at the same time.
Lord Liu showed a helpless expression, glanced at Gao Nu, and then shook his head and said:
“This Sword Question is bound to fail. Continuing to fight will only result in your deaths in vain.”
The two teenagers, Qi Po and Liu Gu, still wanted to step forward and argue, but were stopped by Xu Taiping raising his hand.
Then, only Xu Taiping’s voice was heard as he suggested to Lord Liu Chu Xuan:
”Lord Prefecture, let the ten of us decide this sword-questioning ourselves.”
After saying that, Xu Taiping walked straight towards the position of Amon and the others.
Seeing Xu Taiping coming, Amon immediately greeted with a smile:
”Taiping!”
Xu Taiping immediately cupped his hands and saluted:
”Taiping pays respects to Senior Amon.”
Du Gu Qingxiao, as well as Gao Nu, Qi Po, and Liu Gu also understood Xu Taiping’s intention and came forward one after another.
Shaoqing, the ten people gathered and stood side by side on the Sword Terrace.
Seeing this situation, Prefecture Lord Liu Chuxuan frowned slightly.
The Mysterious Female True Monarch was slightly dissatisfied and muttered softly:
”At this point, what else is there to hesitate about?”
Mu Zhixing beside him nodded in agreement and said:
”This is also good. Giving them the right to choose life and death will prevent their state of mind from being disrupted.”
Only a cultivator who has reached his level understands that the more important the decision, the more profound the impact on the cultivator’s future state of mind and even the Dao heart.
As soon as Mu Zhixing said this, Liu Chuxuan finally made up his mind.
He looked up at the ten people standing side by side in front of him, with a serious expression:
”Everyone, those who are willing to fight against the Ten Devils, please step forward.”
As soon as the words fell, the three young people, Gao Nu, Liu Gu, and Qi Po, stepped forward without hesitation.
Qi Po even folded his arms and said with great pride:
“In this sword trial, I, Qi Po, swear to cut off the head of a demonic cultivator!”
Seeing this, Liu Gu applauded and praised:
“Big brother has great courage!”
Regarding these two people, even the group of onlookers who cursed the most had to admit that although these two were arrogant, their courage was truly great.
And that Gao Nu, from beginning to end, had a resolute expression of fearing no death.
At this time, seeing that the remaining few people did not move for a long time, Qi Po was immediately a little anxious and said:
“Senior Taiping, Senior Qingxiao, and Senior Amon, you should come over quickly! If you come over, there will be six people on our side. Six against ten, the winner will naturally be us!”
However, before Xu Taiping could speak, the next words of the Prefect Liu Chuxuan immediately poured a basin of cold water on Qi Po’s head —
“In today’s sword trial, all ten people must come out together.”
In the surprised eyes of Qi Po and the other three, Liu Chuxuan continued with a resolute expression:
“If there is even one person who is unwilling to come out, the nine prefectures will forcibly take back the Sword Ranking and start a war with Jiuyuan.”
After much hesitation, Liu Chuxuan finally made a decision.
Upon hearing this, Gao Nu first had a look of astonishment on his face, and then said very angrily:
”Lord Liu, aren’t you clearly showing that you don’t want to fight against those ten demons?”
In his opinion, the ten people randomly selected by the Sword Supreme List are impossible to be so united and come forward together.
Xu Taiping’s thoughts were similar to those of Gao Nu, but he didn’t argue with Liu Chuxuan. Instead, he silently took a step forward and stood side by side with Qi Po and the other two.
The reason why he stood out without saying anything was because he wanted to confirm a guess in his heart.
Seeing Xu Taiping stand out, the young Qi Po praised highly:
”I knew that even if they all didn’t want to stand out, you, Senior Taiping, would definitely stand out. I, Qi Po, really didn’t misjudge the person!”
Xu Taiping reached out and patted Qi Po on the shoulder, and without looking back, he smiled faintly and said:
”You have to believe in the choice of the Sword Supreme List.”
