Chapter 161: Those Who Ask for the Sword, We Are Honored to Have Zhenwu Draw the Sword!

Xu Taiping responded to Fairy Lingyue in his heart, and then began to transmit messages to the head Zhao Qian.

He briefly told the head Zhao Qian how he met the soul of Qionghua Sword Immortal in Jinting Mansion and how he discovered Su Chan's plan after arriving in Liuxian Town.

However, regarding Fairy Lingyue, he only said that he was a senior he met when he was in the Dry Stone Sea, and did not explain much.

After listening to Xu Taiping's story, the leader Zhao Qian was frightened for a while, then frowned and said:

"Taiping, you shouldn't have come to this Jiangui meeting."

Zhao Qian immediately added another sentence:

"Before coming to Taiyue Immortal Mansion, Uncle Jiu once told me that if Su Chan is still alive, he will definitely get rid of you regardless."

"Now in this Heavenly Demon Questioning Sword, you and he are among the ten people asking for swords from both sides. If we meet..."

He did not continue speaking, but the meaning behind his words was self-evident.

Although in the previous sword-asking test, Xu Taiping showed a combat power that was comparable to that of a monk who had just entered the Wentian Realm, Su Chan was now the Demon Emperor of Jiuyuan.

Therefore, in Zhao Qian's opinion, if Xu Taiping was targeted by Su Chan, he would have little chance of winning.

Xu Taiping shook his head and said:

"Master, Uncle Jiu once told me."

"If I, a sword cultivator, want to use the most powerful sword, what I lack is not a sword manual or a famous sword, but a reason to use the sword."

Hearing this, the leader Zhao Qian suddenly shook his body.

Immediately afterwards, he turned around silently and looked steadily at the familiar yet unfamiliar young man in front of him.

Xu Taiping met Zhao Qian's gaze and said calmly and firmly:

"We are so lucky to be able to use Zhenwu's sword today!"

Zhao Qian opened and closed his mouth several times, but finally said nothing. He just reached out and patted Xu Taiping's shoulder hard twice, and then turned his head without saying a word.

Only those who are very close to Xu Taiping, like Fairy Lingyue, know that what Xu Taiping truly gained during his experience in the Golden Court Mansion in Kushihai was not his cultivation, but his Taoist heart.

At this moment, with a burst of exclamations, another name appeared on the sword leader list.

Just like before, at the same time as this handwriting appeared, a woman's voice filled with cold and solemn meaning rang out from the Sword Leader List——

"The second Zhenwu swordsman, Qingxuanzong, Dugu Qingxiao."

Hearing this sound, Zhao Qian trembled again and said with a bitter smile:

"Great Emperor, you really think highly of our Qingxuan Sect..."

It's not that Zhao Qian is selfish, but the situation today is too dangerous. Once Xu Taiping and Dugu Qingxiao appear on the scene, they will most likely never return.

The two best disciples in the sect died in the same sword-asking battle, which is unacceptable to anyone.

And at the same time that the voice in the sword leader list sounded, Dugu Qingxiao's figure appeared on the sword platform out of thin air with a "boom".

This is obviously the work of Jian Kuibang.

Dugu Qingxiao, as for Dugu Qingxiao, had obviously learned about the situation while outside the court, so there was no look of panic on his face when he came to the stands.

"Head, Master Meng!"

He first met with the leader Zhao Qian and the peak leader Meng Qingqiu, and then walked directly towards Xu Taiping under the gaze of everyone on Jianping.

"Peace!"

"Second senior brother!"

The two looked at each other and smiled, then raised their hands together and gave a high-five with a "pop" sound in perfect agreement.

Then, the second senior brother Dugu Qingxiao grabbed Xu Taiping's shoulders with force, stared at him and said:

"Afraid?"

Xu Taiping shook his head vigorously and said:

"Don't be afraid!"

Dugu Qingxiao patted Xu Taiping's shoulder heavily, then turned around, his eyes full of excitement as he looked at the Demon Mother's Edict above his head, as well as Madam Chi and Su Chan under the edict, without looking back. He said to Xu Taiping:

"I just felt sorry that you couldn't fight side by side with Taiping when slaying demons in Jinting Mansion, but I didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, the opportunity would come!"

Xu Taiping took a step forward, stood side by side with Dugu Qingxiao, and then said firmly:

"Second Senior Brother, if I am the one who dies first, then you must live on."

Dugu Qingxiao grinned and said:

"Junior brother, if I am the one who dies first, help me take revenge!"

"Yeah!" Xu Taiping nodded vigorously.

The conversation between the two brothers as if no one was watching, as well as the burning fighting spirit radiating from their bodies, made all the monks on Jianping, including Zhenjun Xuan Mi, Mu Zhixing and others, unable to help but stand in awe.

As for Jiuyuan's side, as if responding to the fighting intention of the two brothers, they announced seven Jiuyuan Sword Askers in succession——

"The third Nine Abyss Sword Asker, Three Demon Abyss, Demon Emperor Meng Gu."

"The fourth Nine Abyss Sword Asker, the Four Demon Abyss, the Demon Emperor Zhou Yi."

"The fifth Nine Abyss Questioner, Five Demon Abyss, Demon Emperor Dragon Scorpion."

"The sixth Nine Abyss Sword Asker, Six Demon Abyss, Demon King Wu Mo."

"The seventh Nine Abyss Sword Asker, Seven Demon Abyss, Demon Emperor 𫊸yun."

"The eighth Nine Abyss Sword Asker, Eight Demon Abyss, Demon King Scorpion Shadow."

"The ninth Nine Abyss Sword Asker, Jiu Mo Abyss, Demon King Hyoscyamus."

The names of the Demon Emperors sounded good to the Zhenwutian monks, because they didn't have much contact with Jiuyuan.

However, people who have often come into contact with Jiuyuan monsters such as Zhenjun Xuanmin of the Bajing Dao Palace, Mu Zhixing, the master of the Guangling Pavilion, and others, feel a chill down their spines for no reason.

"Although these four monsters, Meng Gu, Zhou Yi, Dragon Scorpion and Wu Mo, are all the newly promoted Demon Emperors of Jiuyuan, their demon species are all natural disaster species."

"The disasters they have caused in recent years have killed at least hundreds of thousands or millions of cultivators and civilians."

Xuanpin Zhenjun gritted his teeth and said.

Mu Zhixing on the side also frowned and said:

"𫊸云, 蝎影 and 厨菪, these three monsters, from the information I received, are not monsters that have merged with demon cultivators, but pure demon species nurtured by Jiuyuan with blood springs."

Mu Yun was surprised when he heard this:

"Is this pure demon species the rumored existence that awakens the power of the original demon species, and the grade of its original demon species power is directly a third-level terrifying existence?"

Mu Zhixing nodded with a frown:

"That's right."

Mu Yun couldn't help but take a breath of cold air when he heard this, and then murmured in horror:

"Jiuyuan has sent out such an existence, who should we send to deal with it?"

When he said this, Mu Yun's eyes turned to the sword leader list.

However, before the Sword Champion Ranking announced the list of the human race's sword-asking candidates, Jiuyuan announced again:

"The ninth Jiuyuan sword-asking candidate is Yi Moyuan, the Demon Emperor Jianxie."

Hearing this name, everyone on Jianping was stunned at first, and then the Palace Master Liu Chuxuan said in astonishment:

"Jianxie? Senior Jianxie?"

Then, he shook his head vigorously and said:

"Impossible, Senior Jianxie cannot be possessed by a demon!"

However, when Liu Chuxuan saw the tenth figure that appeared below the edict, he stood there in a daze, his eyes full of disbelief:

"Senior Jianxie, why did you do this!"
