As soon as Elder Black Dragon’s voice sounded, everyone immediately stopped contending.
Because according to the rules of this round of the Seven Peaks Competition, once the clam pearl is placed, those who make a move to hit others or snatch it will be the first to exit the field.
“You used all your strength for just the first one. There are still six more to come. What are you going to do, Qingxiao？”
Yan Bing, who was standing in the air with his sword, looked at Qingxiao with a smile and said.
These two, Yan Bing and Qingxiao, have been opponents since they entered the Qingxuan Sect. Although they are not as hostile to the Seventh Peak as Jin Hezhi, as long as there is a place where Qingxiao is, he will compete.
“What my Seventh Peak should do doesn’t need you to remind.”
Qingxiao gave Yan Bing a white look, and then looked at Jin Hezhi and Huang Qi behind him and said：
“Take care of your juniors.”
After that, he flew down with his sword and directly went to pick up his senior sister and third junior brother who fell into the pool.
Upon hearing this, Yan Bing frowned.
He turned his head and looked at Jin Hezhi and Huang Qi, and then a hint of disgust appeared in his eyes. With a bit of displeasure in his mouth, he said： “Trash.”
In this round, according to the original plan, he didn’t want Qingxiao to win any.
……
On the viewing platform of the Cloud Tower.
After seeing that Qingxiao won in the first round, Zhao Linglong was so happy that she danced and jumped again.
However, on Xu Taiping’s face, there was a hint of hidden worry.
Because he could feel that at this moment, apart from the second senior brother Qing Xiao, both the eldest senior sister Jiang Zhi and the third senior brother Zhang Qian’s auras had become somewhat weak, and their movements when controlling the swords and objects were no longer as smooth as at the beginning.
Wait a minute, how did I see all this？
Just as this thought occurred, Xu Taiping suddenly woke up in a start.
Could it be because I recently started practicing swordsmanship？
He then thought of a possibility.
Sure enough, the method of practicing swordsmanship taught to me by the Third Third Scholar is by no means ordinary. Otherwise, how could I so easily see the situation of these people on the field when they control their swords.
After taking another glance at the other sword-controlling cultivators, Xu Taiping became even more certain of this in his heart.
And in the next six rounds of clam pearl competition, just as Xu Taiping had worried, the eldest senior sister and the third senior brother made mistakes one after another. Even though the second senior brother Qing Xiao did his best, he still couldn’t win another clam pearl in the end.
“Eldest senior sister, second senior brother, third senior brother, it’s not easy to win one in this round. Don’t be discouraged！”
Looking at the somewhat lonely eldest senior sister, second senior brother and others above the sword flat, Zhao Linglong suddenly rushed to the railing and shouted at the three of them.
Seeing this scene, Xu Taiping felt a slight bitterness in his heart, because he had just clearly seen that Senior Sister Linglong’s eyes were also full of unwillingness and desolation.
“The selection of the Seven Peaks is to fight for oneself, but the Great Competition of the Seven Peaks is to fight for one’s fellow disciples. The pattern of the five ancestors of the Qingxuan Sect is far beyond that of today’s sect leaders. No wonder Qingxuan has declined so much.”
Suddenly, the voice of Fairy Lingyue sounded in Xu Taiping’s mind.
Her tone was full of emotion.
And her words just solved the confusion in Xu Taiping’s heart——
Why was he more nervous when watching Senior Brother Qingxiao and the others compete than when he participated in the selection of the Seven Peaks, and why was he more unwilling and lost when seeing them lose than when he lost himself.
“Six years is very short. When the next Great Competition of the Seven Peaks comes, Taiping, you can fight for your senior brothers and sisters.”
After feeling the change in Xu Taiping’s state of mind, Fairy Lingyue said with a soft smile.
The Xu Taiping she recognized was never the kind of self-interested cultivator, but the kind of cultivator who could not only punch for himself, but also punch to protect his fellow disciples.
“Hmm.”
Xu Taiping nodded secretly in his heart and responded.
“Anyway, this time it’s not the last place.”
After the ranking was confirmed, Xu Ziyan stepped forward and patted Zhao Linglong on the shoulder to comfort her.
Although only one clam pearl was obtained, with the Fifth Peak at the bottom having not obtained a single clam pearl, the result of the Seventh Peak wasn’t too bad either.
“Senior Sister Ziyan, what happened to the Fifth Peak? I remember that last time, they got third place.”
Zhao Linglong suddenly said in surprise.
“The Fifth Peak has been in turmoil recently. The disciple Lu Chen, who was highly anticipated, and the new disciple Liu Zijin, one was exiled down the mountain, and the other entered the Cliff of Repentance. The Peak Master even had a serious quarrel with Elder Lu Zimu. How could the disciples under the peak still have the mood to participate in this Seven Peaks Competition?”
Xu Ziyan sighed and said.
Upon hearing this, Xu Taiping was stunned. He didn’t expect that the matters of Lu Chen and Liu Zijin would also affect this Seven Peaks Competition.
Originally, Senior Sister Zijin should have shone brightly in this Seven Peaks Competition. It’s all because of that Lu Chen.
Naturally, Xu Taiping wouldn’t sympathize with the Fifth Peak and that Lu Chen. The only one he felt sorry for was Senior Sister Liu Zijin.
And during this recent period of time, although he has been busy practicing swordsmanship and cultivation every day, his surveillance of the Wind Howling Villa where Lu Chen is located has not stopped.
Through several observations by Bai Yu, he has already figured out the number of people in the Wind Howling Villa, each entrance and secret passage, and even Lu Chen’s daily routine clearly.
“Now, it’s just a matter of waiting for an opportunity to make a move.”
Xu Taiping stared at the flag of Wufeng below, and muttered to himself in his heart.
Regarding killing Lu Chen, he is actually confident now, but the problem is how to do it so that no one can investigate him after killing, and to achieve this, the timing of the shot is very important.
“Taiping, the one we are going to participate in should be half a month later without accident. Tomorrow, the topic of the competition should be able to come out, and then we will help you practice together.”
Zhao Linglong turned to look at Xu Taiping and said at this time.
After watching today’s competition, she became a little eager to try.
“Okay.”
Xu Taiping nodded.
Not only Zhao Linglong, but he was also a little eager to try at this time.
“The competition completed with the cooperation of fellow disciples is still quite interesting.”
He secretly thought in his heart.
“By the way, Taiping, the fourth round of the competition also requires the ability to control the sword or control the object. How are you learning？”
Xu Ziyan asked Xu Taiping curiously.
Hearing this question, Lin Buyu, who had originally buried his head in reading the script, also raised his head at this time and looked at Xu Taiping curiously.
“Oh yes, junior brother, I heard that father found an elder to teach you how to practice swords, right？”
Zhao Linglong also suddenly remembered something at this time and immediately asked Xu Taiping.
”Yes.” Xu Taiping nodded. “The Peak Master found an elder named San San Ju Shi to teach me how to practice swordsmanship.”
”Does our Qingxuan Sect have a sword cultivation elder with this name？”
Xu Ziyan just felt that this name was particularly unfamiliar.
”What does he look like？”
She immediately asked Xu Taiping again.
”Well, I haven’t seen him in person yet.”
Xu Taiping said with some embarrassment.
”You’ve already started practicing swordsmanship with him, but you haven’t seen him in person？”
Xu Ziyan said with a look of surprise on his face.
