Upon hearing this, Xu Taiping was immediately filled with nameless anger.
　　“This　is　slander！”
　　He　said　angrily.
“But they produced the letters between your Peak Master and Su Chan. Judging from the content of the letters, your Peak Master Zhao Qian did indeed contact Su Chan knowing that she had fallen into the evil way.
　　Huang　Que　sighed.
　　Upon hearing this, Xu Taiping furrowed his brows and said：
　　“This is Su Chan framing our Peak Master. Back in Thousand Buddha Kingdom, it was him and Jin Hezhi who joined forces to frame my Second Senior Brother.”
　　Huang Que helplessly shook his head and said：
　　“Qing Xiao told me about this three years ago, but he couldn’t produce evidence, so we couldn’t do anything to that Jin Hezhi.”
　　Xu Taiping nodded upon hearing this.
　　For many things, Su Chan was only manipulating behind the scenes. Except for that one time in Xianhu Cave Heaven, he almost never showed up or made a move.
　　“Why did this Sect Leader Zhou suddenly take action against our Peak Master？”
Xu Taiping was a bit puzzled.
　　Their Peak Master Zhao Qian had long since sealed his sword and couldn’t possibly pose a threat to the Sect Leader. Otherwise, Ninth Uncle wouldn’t have skipped over him and gone to find Senior Brother Qing Xiao to be the Asking Sword Disciple.
　　“You probably don’t know yet, right？”
　　Huang Que suddenly smiled bitterly.
　　“What？”
Xu Taiping looked at Huang Que in not understanding.
　　“The sword heart that your Peak Master bound himself for a hundred years has loosened.”
　　Huang　Que　replied.
　　“This is impossible. My Second Senior Brother once told me that the Peak Master tied a dead knot to his sword heart and would never pick up a sword again in this lifetime.”
Xu Taiping’s expression became even more confused.
　　“What kind of knot can’t be cut open by a sword cultivator’s sword？”
　　Huang Que asked Xu Taiping with a smile.
　　Xu Taiping was speechless.
　　“According to the information I have gathered, the reason why your Peak Master’s sword intent was reborn is a Moon Shadow Stone.”
　　The Yellow Finch took a sip of tea and then looked deeply at Xu Taiping.
　　“Is this Moon Shadow Stone related to me？”
　　Xu Taiping guessed something, but still wanted to confirm it with the Yellow Finch.
　　“What’s inside is exactly the bloody battle in Lotus Temple.”
　　The Yellow Finch took a deep look at Xu Taiping and then nodded.
　　“It is said that because of sensing your Peak Master’s sword intent, the sword that was sealed under the Five Elders’ Pool by him wailed for seven days and seven nights.”
　　“After that, your Peak Master was imprisoned by the Seven Laws Department.”
　　When saying this, the Yellow Finch let out another long sigh.
　　Xu Taiping was once again silent for a while.
　　Regarding the matter of the Peak Master binding his own sword heart, he had asked his Second Senior Brother before, but his Second Senior Brother evaded it at that time and seemed unwilling to mention that past.
　　“The reason why Sect Leader Zhou took action against our Peak Master should be that he didn’t want our Peak Master to ask him for a sword fight.”
　　Xu Taiping frowned and said.
　　“That’s right. According to the intelligence of our Nine Mansions, your Peak Master Zhao once had the same strength as your Sect Leader. If he asks your Sect Leader for a sword fight, it is indeed possible to pull him down from the position of Sect Leader.”
　　The Yellow Finch nodded.
　　“Has my Second Senior Brother come out of the Fallen Dragon Abyss？”
　　Xu Taiping suddenly asked the Yellow Finch.
　　As if knowing that Xu Taiping would ask this question, Huangque handed a letter that had been prepared long ago to Xu Taiping’s hand.
　　“This letter was given to me by your second senior brother before he entered the Dragon Fallen Abyss, asking me to give it to you three years later.”
　　He explained to Xu Taiping.
　　Xu Taiping then opened the letter, and looking at the familiar handwriting on the letter paper, he confirmed that it was indeed left by his second senior brother.
　　However, after reading the content of the letter, Xu Taiping frowned.
　　It was seen that Qingxiao wrote on the letter：
　　“Taiping, if I don’t come out of the Dragon Fallen Abyss, don’t go back to Qingxuan. Go overseas, go to the other several regions of the world. Your talent should not be buried here, let alone lose your life because of this ridiculous Seven Peaks Competition.”
　　After folding the letter again, Xu Taiping looked up at Huangque and said：
　　“So, Big Brother Huangque, my second senior brother still hasn’t come out of the Dragon Fallen Abyss, right？”
　　Huangque was silent at first, and then sighed deeply and said：
　　“It’s not that he hasn’t come back yet, but that he can’t come back.”
　　“Why？”
　　Xu Taiping didn’t understand.
　　“Among the cultivators who entered the Dragon Fallen Abyss in the same batch as him, only one person escaped, and he also went crazy.”
　　“In order to find out what exactly happened inside, the Nine Mansions used the soul-searching technique on that cultivator, and the scene they saw was even more tragic than what you saw in Lotus Temple that day.”
　　“Inside the Dragonfall Abyss, not only did dozens of hair zombies appear, but there was also a once-in-a-thousand-years flying zombie.”
　　Huang Que explained with a somewhat gloomy expression.
　　“Flying zombie…”
　　Upon hearing this name, Xu Taiping’s heart skipped a beat.
　　That flying zombie-class corpse ghoul was many times stronger than a hair zombie. The key was that it had already begun to cultivate like a human.
　　“Qing Xiao this time, I’m afraid the situation is very bad…”
　　Huang Que’s expression was extremely downcast.
　　“I don’t believe that my senior brother will die in the Dragonfall Abyss. The two of us had an agreement. I would help the Seventh Peak obtain the first place among the seven peaks, and he would ask the sect leader for a sword fight.”
　　As Xu Taiping spoke, he tore up the letter in his hand.
　　“Taiping, listen to your big brother’s advice. This Seven Peaks Competition is a death trap set by your sect leader for your Seventh Peak.”
He wants to use the disciples of your Seventh Peak to establish his might and make an example of others. threatening those disciples of the Qingxuan Sect who dare to ask him for a sword fight.”
“As far as I know, in order to deal with you, he has already made that Ye Xuan accept the inheritance that Su Chan once had. His strength is probably already at the Half-step Divine Refinement level.
　　Huang Que continued to persuade.
　　“Have my senior sister Zhao Linglong and the others withdrawn from this Seven Peaks Competition？”
　　Xu Taiping did not answer but inquired about the news of his senior sister and the others from Huang Que and the others.
　　The Sparrow hesitated for a moment and then shook his head with a bitter smile and said：
　　“I once went to Qingxuan to look for them, but they are even more stubborn than you. None of them have the intention to withdraw. After seeing that Moon Shadow Stone, your senior sister Zhao Linglong even secluded herself for three years without coming out. They are all holding their breath and practicing like crazy.”
　　Hearing this, Xu Taiping grinned and said：
　　“Then I should go back even more.”
　　This answer was not unexpected to the Sparrow.
　　But he still didn’t seem to give up. He looked at Xu Taiping seriously and said：
　　“What I just said to you was all out of personal feelings. And what I’m going to say next is a request from the Nine Mansions.”
　　“A request from the Nine Mansions？”
　　Xu Taiping was a bit puzzled.
　　“The Nine Mansions hope that Taiping, you will not participate in this Seven Peaks Contest of Qingxuan.”
　　“Why？”
　　“Because you are the only cultivator in the past five hundred years in the True Martial Heaven who has been invited by the Nether Heaven to participate in the Golden Scale Assembly of the Upper Clear Realm.”
