　　“Magic　God　Weapon？”
　　Xu Taiping was also shocked in his heart. Thinking back to when he was in the Yunmengze Secret Realm, that Demon Venerable could break the Golden Scale Sword Formation with just one Demon King Weapon, the Lu Xian. How powerful would the Magic God Weapon be？
　　“Boom！…”
　　Just at this moment, the tree that was completely black and continuously exuded a destructive aura suddenly swung its branches, and all the black leaves on the tree were flung out together.
　　In an instant, the sky was filled with black leaves, carrying a terrifying sword might, overwhelming and sweeping towards Layman Yuqing.
　　In response to this, on the face of Layman Yuqing, there was still an expression as calm as an ancient well without waves.
　　When the first pieces of leaves were only more than a hundred zhang away from him, he then controlled that huge Dharma form, and with a “bang”, suddenly held the hilt of the Tianying Sword with both hands.
　　“Boom！”
　　With a huge vibration, the light and shadow within the entire Xianhu Cave Heaven suddenly converged on the Tianying Sword like flowing water.
　　In just an instant, the sky and the earth darkened again, and only the Tianying in the hand of Layman Yuqing was still shining brightly. Looking closely, one could even see the sky light and cloud shadows wandering on its sword body.
　　“One sword opens the sky！”
Suddenly, only hearing Layman Yuqing roared loudly. the Tianying Sword in his hand slashed towards the fluorescent black leaves in front and that towering black tree.
　　“Boom！ …”
As the Tianying Sword swept through those black leaves, a huge explosion sound resounded throughout the Xianhu Cave Heaven, and at the same time, the breath fluctuations stirred up by those two forces and also struck hard against the chests of Xu Taiping and the group of cultivators.
Even with the protection of the sword qi outside Yuqing Peak, Xu Taiping and the group of disciples were still knocked unconscious.
　　The sword strike by Su Chan and Jade Green Hermit was something that ordinary cultivators didn’t even have the Qualification to see.
　　……
　　When he woke up again, it was already two days later.
　　You woke up relatively early. Besides you, among the other group of disciples, only Xiao Ye from the Pure Yang Sword Sect woke up. When the others will wake up is still unknown.
　　In a guest room of the White Horse Inn, sunlight shone through the window onto Xu Taiping’s face beside the bed. Huang Que, sitting opposite him, was sighing and telling him about the final situation of that day.
　　So in the end, who won？
　　Xu Taiping asked curiously.
　　The scene of Su Chan and Jade Green Hermit asking the sword that day, when he recalled it now, he felt like it was a dream and very unreal.
　　Su Chan.
　　Huang Que said with a somewhat unwilling expression.
　　Upon hearing this, Xu Taiping’s heart sank.
　　What about Jade Green Hermit？
He frowned and asked worriedly.
　　Jade Green Hermit has already left.
　　Huang　Que　sighed.
　　However, he didn’t die at the hands of Su Chan. Instead, he left due to exhaustion of his lifespan. Moreover, that Su Chan wasn’t unscathed either. He was chopped off half of his devil king’s body by the Heavenly Shadow Sword, and the Demonic God Weapon Taotie was also sealed by the Heavenly Shadow. At least within sixty years, he won’t pose a threat to the Nine Mansions.
　　Afraid that Xu Taiping would misunderstand, he added another sentence.
　　“So the Nine Prefectures allowed the spies from the Netherworld to enter the Xianhu Cave, and Jade Green Hermit faked his death, all just to lure that Su Chan into the Xianhu Cave？”
　　Xu Taiping asked again.
　　“The Nine Prefectures indeed had the intention of taking the opportunity to clean up the demonic cultivators in various sects, so they secretly spread the news that Jade Green Hermit’s lifespan was about to run out, making them think that this might be the last chance to enter the Xianhu Cave.”
　　“But the plot to kill Su Chan had nothing to do with the Nine Prefectures and was all secretly planned by Jade Green Hermit.”
　　Having said this, Yellow Finch suddenly shook his head with a bitter smile and then continued：
　　“To be honest, before this, although Jade Green Hermit repeatedly reminded the Nine Prefectures to be on guard against Su Chan, most people, including the Prefecture Lord, didn’t think that Su Chan would be this strong, so they never adopted Jade Green Hermit’s advice.”
　　“I think Jade Green Hermit was probably disappointed with the Nine Prefectures and chose to take action alone.”
　　“Now it seems that Su Chan’s strength has surpassed that of the Nine Prefectures. If it weren’t for Jade Green Hermit’s action this time to seriously injure him, I’m afraid that within ten years, the Netherworld would make a comeback under his leadership.”
“If that really happened, I don’t know how many cultivators would die at the hands of the Netherworld demonic cultivators, and the little vitality that the Nine Prefectures have recovered with great difficulty in the past few hundred years would be exhausted again.”
　　When saying this, Yellow Finch’s face was full of fear.
　　Xu Taiping agreed deeply after hearing this.
　　However, he really didn’t expect that there were so many levels of games behind this battle for the Immortal Gourd this time.
　　“Why did the Jade Azure Layman keep all the disciples who climbed to the peak that day？ It seems that we couldn’t help much.”
　　He asked Huang Que another doubt in his heart.
　　“I asked the Palace Master about this later. According to the Palace Master, the Jade Azure Layman couldn’t completely refine this Immortal Gourd Cave Heaven, so he could only follow its rules and borrow a bit of the power inside the Immortal Gourd Cave Heaven.”
　　“For example, the matter of asking the young cultivators to carry the tripod and climb the peak was not that we wanted to choose the young disciples, but that the rules of the Immortal Gourd Cave Heaven only allowed the young disciples to carry the tripod and climb the mountain. Otherwise, the sword qi on the top of the mountain would kill those who climbed the peak without permission.”
　　“And after all the young disciples carried the stone tripod to the stone platform on Jade Gourd Peak, the Jade Azure Layman, who is half in control of the Immortal Gourd Cave Heaven, then had a chance to completely control the Jade Gourd Cave Heaven and use the power inside.”
　　Huang Que very seriously explained to Xu Taiping.
　　After hearing this, the confusion in Xu Taiping’s heart suddenly disappeared.
　　“So the Jade Azure Layman inviting the young disciples of the Nine Palaces to enter the Immortal Gourd Cave Heaven was not entirely a good deed. There was also a bit of self-interest in it.”
　　Huang Que smiled and said.
　　Xu Taiping nodded, and then said with a bit of awe-inspiring meaning：
　　“But regarding the ambush on Su Chan the other day, the old man surely had no personal motives at all.”
　　Recalling every sword strike made by the Jade Green Layman the other day, Xu Taiping could sense the resolute intention in his swordsmanship. At least, this sword intention was completely on par with that of Su Chan.
　　The Yellow Sparrow nodded seriously.
　　“Oh right.” Suddenly, as if remembering something, he quickly looked up at Xu Taiping and said, “If your body is fine, go to Room One immediately. Senior Amon is waiting for you there.”
　　“Senior Amon is still here？”
　　Xu Taiping was a little surprised.
　　He had thought that Amon had already left.
　　“Yes, he has been waiting for you.”
　　The Yellow Sparrow nodded.
　　“Waiting　for　me？”
　　Xu Taiping was a little puzzled.
