“This I naturally understand.”
Xu Taiping nodded seriously.
“By the way, how is your left eye controlled now？”
Fairy Lingyue asked Xu Taiping again.
“Basically, I can control it freely. It’s just that I haven’t opened my eyes for three years. I’m afraid that if I open my eyes suddenly, I may lose control.”
Xu Taiping replied.
“When it comes time to use this eye, don’t worry about whether you will lose control or not. Surviving is the most important thing.”
Fairy Lingyue smiled.
“Well, I understand.”
Xu Taiping nodded.
“You have been preparing for this battle for three years, and there is nothing more to say. Just do your best.”
Fairy Lingyue smiled and stretched.
“Xu Taiping, Xu Taiping！”
Just then, the little monkey that was originally playing in the front yard suddenly rushed to the atrium in a hurry, shouting Xu Taiping’s name.”
“What’s the matter？”
Xu Taiping picked up Ping’an.
“There is an old man outside, called… Sansan Jushi, and he asked me to call you to see him.”
Ping’an said excitedly, gesturing with his hands and feet.
“Sansan Jushi？！”
Xu Taiping’s face lit up upon hearing this, and he immediately put down the little monkey and quickly walked outside the courtyard.
Come to think of it, he hadn’t seen San San Ju Shi for almost three years.
……
On the Hongqiao Bridge of Mu Gu Mountain.
”Disciple Xu Taiping pays respects to San San Ju Shi.”
Although the figure on the Hongqiao Bridge was blurry, Xu Taiping could still recognize at a glance that it was San San Ju Shi.
”In these years, have you practiced or used the sword？”
San San Ju Shi didn’t exchange pleasantries with Xu Taiping but directly asked about the sword.
”No.”
Xu Taiping replied.
”Very good.”
San San Ju Shi nodded with great satisfaction.
”Logically speaking, the competition of Asking the Sword Qingxuan tomorrow is the perfect time to sound the sword, but after much thought, I still don’t want you to draw the sword.”
He then said as if talking to himself.
”Why？”
Xu Taiping could already hear the sound of the sword singing in his chest and abdomen, which was a sign that he could draw the sword.
San San Ju Shi pondered for a long time and finally turned to look at Xu Taiping and said：
”Because they don’t deserve it.”
……
Five days later.
Qingxuan Sect, Five Elders Pool, Hidden Sword Flat.
The last match of the Seven Peaks Competition, Asking the Sword Qingxuan, is today.
As a competition held once every six years and the only match in this competition that allows disciples to fight and kill, the disciples of each peak have been eagerly looking forward to it for a long time.
Moreover, this competition is very likely to be related to the survival of the Seventh Peak, and there may even be a feat of challenging the head for the first time in hundreds of years.
Therefore, the cloud tower stands on the west side of Wulao Lake have been crowded with people early, and some disciples can only stand and watch.
”Eldest Senior Sister, is it really only Taiping and Linglong who will play in this match？”
On a cloud tower stand in the east, Wu Mo, the fifth senior sister of the Seventh Peak, asked Senior Sister Jiang Zhi worriedly.
”If it weren’t for the fact that each peak must have two people participate, Taiping wouldn’t even want Linglong to participate. Cough, cough cough cough…”
Jiang Zhi coughed as she spoke.
Although five days have passed, the damage to her soul and this body caused by forcibly hanging six thousand catties of iron that day still has not healed.
”Senior Sister, you should go back to Baicao Hall and rest.”
Wu Mo gently patted Jiang Zhi’s back and persuaded worriedly.
”It’s okay. Instead of staying in Baicao Hall and being anxious, it’s better to sit here.”
Jiang Zhi shook her head.
”Your body probably isn’t in much better shape, is it？”
She then smiled and looked at Wu Mo.
Wu Mo smiled somewhat embarrassedly.
“The disciples participating in this sword-questioning event are Xu Taiping and Zhao Linglong from the Seventh Peak; Xu Ziyan and Lin Buyu from the Sixth Peak; Mo Jun and Du Qianjiang from the Fifth Peak; the Western Peak…”
Just at this time, the voice of Elder Heilong resounded through the Five Elders Pool once again.
At the same time, Jiang Zhi and Wu Mo saw that Sect Leader Zhou Tong, several peak masters, and several sect elders appeared on a separate cloud building on the opposite side.
For a while, a palpitating pressure slowly spread throughout the audience.
The noisy sound on the field was immediately suppressed.
“The cultivation base of the Sect Leader seems to have increased a lot.”
After feeling the pressure emanating from the Sect Leader, Jiang Zhi immediately She frowned.
Wu Mo, who also felt this beside her, also fell silent at this time.
And at this time, the voice of Elder Heilong rings out again —
“Today’s competition involves life and death, and the disciples of all peaks must take it seriously.”
“In the first match of the competition, among the peaks, those who ranked lower in the previous grand competition can challenge those who ranked higher in the previous grand competition by name.”
During the process when Elder Heilong read out the competition rules, the disciples of each peak also came to the Hidden Sword Flat in the center of the Five Elders Pool one after another.
Among them were Xu Taiping and Zhao Linglong.
“I saw Junior Sister Linglong and Junior Brother Taiping！”
Wu Mo’s bloodless face suddenly showed a smile.
Jiang Zhi also nodded with a smile on her face.
“Senior Sister, I heard that in the first round, Taiping is going to name and challenge Jin Hezhi of the First Peak. Choosing such a strong opponent right from the start, won’t it be too risky？”
Wu Mo then asked with some worry.
“I have also talked about this matter with Taiping, but Taiping has made up his mind and no one can persuade him. We can only let him be.”
Jiang Zhi sighed and said.
“Mo Jun of the Fifth Peak, names and challenges Zhao Linglong of the Seventh Peak！”
Just as the two were whispering and discussing, this shout from Elder Black Dragon suddenly startled the two of them.
“Mo Jun of the Fifth Peak wants to challenge Linglong？！”
Both of them had shocked expressions on their faces.
Although the Fifth Peak ranked last in the previous Great Competition, it was because in the previous Great Competition, Mo Jun was punished with a one-year ban from participating in the competition due to being implicated by Lu Chen.
If we really talk about cultivation strength, Mo Jun can at least rank in the top ten in Qingxuan, and should at least be on par with Xu Ziyan.
