　　“Senior brother Jin, we are fellow disciples. Why do we have to go this far？”
　　Xu Ziyan on the side finally couldn’t help but speak at this time.
　　“Junior sister Ziyan, if you promise to be my Taoist partner, I can consider it.”
　　Jin Hezhi smiled at Xu Ziyan with narrowed eyes.
　　“Bastard, don’t think I don’t dare to move you！”
Hearing this, Du Gu Qingxiao let out a cold snort. The long sword behind him ‘clang’ broke out of its sheath. and the awe-inspiring sword might swept through the entire Cloud Tower.
　　’You two are too presumptuous！’
　　At this time, an elder of Qingxuan Sect in the Cloud Tower let out a cold snort.
If you want to duel, you can go to the Zhige Tower. Otherwise, sit down honestly on the seat.
　　The elder then warned again.
　　’Senior Brother Qingxiao, don’t fall for his goading. He just wants to force you to make a move.’
　　Xu Ziyan pulled the sleeve of Du Gu Qingxiao.
　　’Senior Brother, don’t get angry.’
　　Zhao Linglong on the side also persuaded at this time.
Du Gu Qingxiao glared at Jin Hezhi upon hearing this, then cupped his hands towards the elder patrolling in the building, and then ‘clang’ put the sword back into its sheath and sat down without saying a word.
‘Oh my, it really scared me to death. Little Xuan, you have to argue for your senior brother later and don’t let the senior sisters and senior brothers of the Seventh Peak laugh at us.’
　　Seeing this, the corner of Jin Hezhi’s mouth raised, and his face returned to his cynical look again.
　　’Senior Brother, don’t worry. I will do my best no matter who I compete with.’
　　Ye　Xuan　nodded.
　　Then he looked at Lin Buyu sitting on the seat behind him. After finding that she didn’t look at him at all from beginning to end, a surge of anger suddenly rose between his eyebrows and eyes.
　　“Since the sword and saber have no eyes, if I accidentally injure or kill this little brother by mistake, I hope the senior brothers and sisters of the Seven Peaks will understand.”
　　Upon hearing these words, Zhao Linglong’s heart tightened, and then she stared coldly at Ye Xuan and said：
　　“Junior Brother Ye Xuan, if you can kill him, I can also kill you.”
　　Upon hearing this, Du Gu Qingxiao patted Zhao Linglong’s shoulder, and then looked at the ring below without turning his head, and said in a cold tone： “Junior Sister, I won’t let that happen.”
　　……
　　The so-called Asking the Sword at the Seven Peaks.
　　It means that each of the Seven Peaks selects a disciple to compete with the selected disciple from outside the mountain, in order to test the strength and potential of that disciple from outside the mountain, and use this as the basis for the subsequent selection of disciples.
　　According to the rules of the sect, the one with the highest ranking in the previous Seven Peaks Competition has the right to choose first.
　　And the first place in the last Seven Peaks Competition was the current First Peak, Qionglou Peak.
　　“Logically speaking, it should be the peak that is interested in you that will send a disciple to ask you the sword, so the one who asks you the sword.”
　　“That should be a senior brother from the Seven Peaks.”
　　At this time, Xu Taiping, who had already stood back on the ring, was communicating with Bai Yu in the gourd with his soul.
　　And beside Xu Taiping, there were also six other disciples from outside the mountain who had obtained the qualification for this sword asking.
　　However, except for Xu Taiping, everyone’s face was filled with excitement and nervousness at this time.
　　“What if it’s another peak that asks you for a sword and also takes a fancy to you? How will you choose? You should know that the Seventh Peak, just like its name, whether it’s the cultivation strength of the disciples in the peak or the resources it has, can only be regarded as the last among the various peaks.”
　　Bai Yu asked Xu Taiping again.
　　Regarding the matters of Qingxuan Sect, it knew much more than Xu Taiping.
　　“Of course, I will still choose the Seventh Peak.”
　　Xu Taiping answered without any hesitation.
　　“Don’t be emotional. The path of cultivation is long. Today’s choice may determine your future prospects.”
　　Bai　Yu　persuaded.
　　“No one can tell for sure what will happen in the future. All I can do now is to make my choice with a clear conscience.”
　　While answering like this, Xu Taiping raised his head and looked at the cloud building stand where Zhao Linglong and Qing Xiao were located.
　　“Well said.”
　　The voice of Fairy Lingyue then rang out in Xu Taiping’s mind.
　　“However, Taiping, in this sword-asking, if you encounter a situation like the last one again, you’d better take off the things on your body. Even if you can endure it, your divine soul won’t be able to hold on and will suffer losses.”
　　She then reminded Xu Taiping again.
“Okay, Sister Lingyue. In the last round, I just wanted to test the limit of my pain tolerance. I won’t be so rash in the future.
　　Xu Taiping responded in his heart.
　　Actually, he was a bit scared himself in the previous match. Because at the moment of killing that Ji Wuyou, his consciousness in the brain had a momentary blank, as if he had really died once.
　　“The first match of the Seven Peaks Asking Sword is for the first peak, Qionglou Peak, to select the asking sword disciple.”
　　At this time, the rough and hoarse voice of Elder Black Dragon rang out from the tallest cloud building.
　　Upon hearing this, the six outer sect disciples on the arena except Xu Taiping all showed expressions of anticipation.
　　Qionglou Peak is the most powerful among the seven peaks. It has already won the title of the first peak for three Jiazi and is their first choice in their hearts. So they all look forward to the first peak coming to ask them for a sword fight.
　　“Qingzhu Residence, Xu Taiping.”
　　At this time, a man’s voice full of vitality rang out.
　　There is no doubt that the person who said this is the master of the first peak sitting on the cloud building.
　　However, the reason why the disciples watching the battle on the cloud building in Western Zhou made a commotion was not the identity of the person who said this, but the content of what he said.
　　“The first peak chose Xu Taiping？”
　　“Why？ Although he defeated Ji Wuyou, his bone marrow and cultivation are clearly inferior to us six.”
　　“Yes, why did the first peak choose like this？”
　　Not only the people on the viewing platform of the cloud building were discussing, but also the six disciples on the arena were whispering to each other, looking at Xu Taiping with eyes of confusion or jealousy one by one.
　　And at this time, Xu Taiping furrowed his brows.
　　He simply didn’t want to be chosen by the First Peak.
　　“Fortunately, even if I’m chosen, I still have the right to refuse.”
　　Xu Taiping muttered in his heart.
　　“Xu Taiping, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Don’t refuse it when the time comes.”
　　As if guessing what was on Xu Taiping’s mind, Bai Yu in the green gourd quickly reminded Xu Taiping.
　　Xu Taiping didn’t argue with Bai Yu because he saw the elder in charge of the exam on the arena was beckoning to him.
　　“Xu Taiping, a disciple from the First Peak will come to challenge you to a sword fight soon. During the sword fight, there are no restrictions except that you can’t use spiritual treasures and talismans. However, although it’s a sword fight, swords and knives have no eyes, so life and death are still at your own risk.”
　　That elder reminded Xu Taiping.
　　“Thank you, Elder, for the notice.”
　　Xu Taiping cupped his hands towards that elder.
　　“Please send out the sword-testing disciple from the First Peak.”
　　At this time, the voice of Elder Black Dragon rang out again.
　　“The sword-testing disciple of the First Peak this time is a true-generation disciple, Ye Xuan.”
　　Not long after, the voice of the First Peak Master began to reverberate over the Zhenjianping.
