”Brother Taiping, in the past Knife-Testing Meetings in the Dragon-Slaying Association, they have indeed always been competitions among the Dragon-Catchers. The purpose is just to screen out some Dragon-Catchers with too weak cultivation bases, so as to avoid them and their team’s Dragon-Slayers dying in the hands of the demon dragons in vain.”
Inside the cave of the earth vein, Dongfang Yuejian was also greatly confused when she learned from Xu Taiping that there was actually a challenge among the dragon catchers in this knife-testing meeting.
After hearing this, Xu Taiping immediately frowned and said：
“Could it be that the rules of the Dragon-Slaying Association have been changed？”
Dongfang Yuejian shook her head and said：
The rules of the Dragon-Slaying Association were jointly set by the Five Emperors. No one can arbitrarily change the rules they set with the decree of the Heavenly Dao.”
Xuanzhi also nodded at this time and said：
“The poor monk has never heard of the Dragon-Slaying Association changing its rules either.”
After hearing what the two said, Xu Taiping took a deep breath and muttered：
“Is there really no one who can change the rules set by the Five Emperors？”
Dongfang Yuejian said very definitely：
“Definitely not.”
Xu Taiping looked deeply at Dongfang Yuejian and then asked：
“What about the Demon Mother？”
Dongfang Yuejian’s face immediately changed greatly and she said：
“The Demon… the Demon Mother？！”
Xu Taiping nodded and said：
“Just like the Dragon-Slaying List can favor us, the Demon Mother, who once fought against the Five Emperors, naturally also has the means to slightly change the rules of the Dragon-Slaying Association.”
After hearing this, both Dongfang Yuejian and Master Xuanzhi’s expressions became solemn.
Dongfang Yuejian nodded and said：
“There is indeed such a possibility.”
And just at this moment, the military merit book suspended in the middle of the three people suddenly let out a slight tremor sound once again.
Immediately afterwards, lines of fine small characters continuously appeared on the military merit book.
Dongfang Yuejian read while looking：
“This time, the Dragon-Slaying List Trial Blade Meeting will open three months later.”
“Before this Trial Blade Meeting, a Capturing Meeting will be specially set up for one round.”
“In the Capturing Blade Meeting, each team of dragon slayers participating in this Dragon-Slaying Meeting will fight against each other in pairs in advance.”
“Any team that is defeated in the Capturing Blade Meeting, the dragon catcher in that team will have no right to challenge the opponent in the following Trial Blade Meeting and can only wait for the opponent to challenge.”
“In addition, for the sake of fairness, this Capturing Blade Meeting will arrange opponents according to the level of military merit.”
“The side with too high military merit cannot challenge others and can only send one person to meet the challenge.”
“The side with lower military merit can send all the dragon slayers in the team.”
After reading the rules of this Capturing Blade Meeting, Dongfang Yuejian’s face was extremely ugly and said:
“Adding a Capturing Blade Meeting out of thin air is fine, but which point of the rules of this Capturing Blade Meeting can be worthy of the word fairness？”
The Mysterious Knowledge Mage on the side also frowned and said at this time：
“This dragon catcher seems to be aimed at our team.”
As he spoke, Dongfang Yuejian and the Mysterious Knowledge Mage both looked at Xu Taiping.
Xu Taiping didn’t respond. He just stared intently at the fine print on the military merit book, and his tone was full of confusion as he said：
“Why would the Dragon-Slaying List agree to such an unfair rule？ Has the power of the Demon Mother really become so strong that she can arbitrarily change the rules of the Dragon-Slaying Society？”
And just as he was thinking this, dense words suddenly began to continuously appear on the military merit book：
“The first challengers of the Proxy Killing Society are Wu Xin, Qing He, and Li Yezhu from the Jiuyuan Dragon-Slayers.”
“Please send out one Dragon-Slayer from the Eastern Family team to respond to the challenge！”
“If no one from the Eastern Family team responds to the challenge within half a cup of tea, 10,000 military merits of the Eastern Family team will be deducted！”
After seeing these words clearly, Dongfang Yuejian was furious. She, who had always been gentle and refined, couldn’t help but swear and said：
“What kind of bullshit rule is this? Not only do they ask us to fight one against three, but they also only give us half a cup of tea to consider！”
“That’s already bad enough！”
“If we don’t want to respond to the challenge, they actually want to deduct a full 10,000 military merits from us. This is too absurd！”
And after reading these absurd words on the military merit book, Xu Taiping’s always tense expression instead relaxed.
I saw him let out a long sigh of relief and slightly raise the corner of his mouth and said：
“I can now confirm that these rules in the battle achievements book, and even this Proxy Battle Association itself, are all the result of the Demon Mother’s interference in the Dragon-Slaying Association！”
Seeing Xu Taiping’s expression so relaxed, Dongfang Yuejian asked in confusion：
“Brother Taiping, since we can confirm that the Demon Mother has interfered in the Dragon-Slaying Association, why don’t you seem the least bit afraid？”
Xu Taiping smiled and said：
“Because from the result of the Demon Mother’s interference this time, it is only adding a Proxy Battle Association to the Dragon-Slaying Association, and be partial to Jiuyuan in the rules of this Proxy Battle Association.
“This is a good thing for us.”
Dongfang Yuejian still had a confused look on her face and said：
“Isn’t this enough？”
Xuanzhi on the side seemed to understand and immediately nodded and said：
“Indeed, with the powerful means of the Demon Mother, she can only do this much. It is indeed a good thing for us.”
Dongfang Yuejian also understood at this time, but she was still very worried and said：
“But in this current situation, what should we do？ Fighting one against three, and the opponents are still two Demon Emperors and one Demon King. There is no chance of winning no matter how you look at it, right？”
As she spoke, she raised her head and looked at Xu Taiping with a worried expression.
Master Xuanzhi also focused his gaze on Xu Taiping at this time.
Xu Taiping looked at the gazes of the two people and then smiled faintly and said：
“A month ago, there were indeed some troubles, but now all the soul imprints on my body have been lifted.”
When he said this, Xu Taiping looked at the battle merit book suspended above, and then continued：
“At least in this lower realm, I’m really not afraid of the three of them joining forces.”
After hearing this, Dongfang Yuejian’s eyes suddenly lit up and said：
“I actually forgot about this matter！”
Xuanzhi on the side put his hands together and smiled：
“Amitabha, this time the calculations of the Demon Mother and Jiuyuan should come to nothing.”
……
At the same time.
Xuan Dan Palace, viewing stand.
“What？ Let Brother Taiping and the others fight three against one, and if they don’t fight, they will also deduct ten thousand battle merits？”
“What kind of hellish rule is this！”
At this moment, in the viewing attic of Chunyu Pavilion, the little princess Chu Xiaoxiao, after seeing the rules of the Substitute Battle Meeting announced on the Dragon-Slaying List, couldn’t calm down anymore and directly shouted and cursed loudly.
