"Senior brother, we are from the same sect, why do we have to go to this step?"
Xu Ziyan on the side finally couldn't help but speak.
"Junior sister Zi Yan, if you agree to be my Taoist companion, I can consider it."
Now, how could he have narrowed his eyes and smiled at Xu Ziyan.
"Bastard, don't think I dare not touch you!"
Hearing this, Dugu Qingxiao snorted coldly, and the long sword behind him broke its sheath with a "crack" sound, and the panic of the sword power swept through the entire Yun Tower.
"You two are so presumptuous!"
At this time, an elder of Qingxuan Sect in Yun Tower snorted coldly.
"If you want to duel, you can go to Zhige Tower. Otherwise, just sit at the table."
The elder then gave another warning.
"Senior Brother Qingxiao, don't fall for his aggressive tactics. He just wants to force you to take action."
Xu Ziyan pulled Dugu Qingxiao's sleeve.
"Brother, don't be angry."
Zhao Linglong on the side also gave some advice at this time.
Hearing this, Dugu Qingxiao glared at Na Hezhi, and then cupped his hands at the elder who was patrolling the building. Then he sheathed his sword with a clang and sat down without saying a word.
"Oh, you really scared me to death. Xiaoxuan, you have to fight for your senior brother's reputation later. Don't let the senior sisters and brothers of the Seventh Peak laugh at the joke."
Now, when he saw this, the corners of his mouth raised, and his cynical expression returned to his face again.
"Senior brother, don't worry, I will try my best to compete with anyone."
Ye Xuan nodded.
Then he glanced at Lin Buyu sitting behind him, and after realizing that she hadn't even looked at him the whole time, anger suddenly rose in his brows.
"It's just that the sword has no eyes. If I accidentally hurt or kill this little brother, I ask the brothers and sisters of Qifeng to forgive me."
Hearing this, Zhao Linglong's heart tightened, and then she stared at Ye Xuan with cold eyes and said:
"Junior brother Ye Xuan, if you can kill him, I can kill you too."
Hearing this, Dugu Qingxiao patted Zhao Linglong on the shoulder, then looked at the ring below without looking back, and said in a cold tone: "Junior sister, I won't let that happen."
…
The so-called Seven Peaks of Asking the Sword.
It is to let Qifeng select a disciple to compete with the selected disciple under the mountain, in order to test the strength and potential of the disciple under the mountain, and use this as the basis for selecting the next disciple.
According to the sect's rules, the one who ranked highest in the last Seven Peaks Competition has the right to be the first to choose.
The top spot in the last Seven Peaks Competition was the current number one peak, Qionglou Peak.
"Logically speaking, whichever peak is interested in you will send its disciples to ask you about the sword, so I asked you about the sword."
"That should be Qifeng's senior brother."
At this time, Xu Taiping, who had returned to the ring, was communicating with Bai Yu in the gourd with his soul.
Next to Xu Taiping, there were six other disciples from outside the mountain who had qualified for the sword competition.
But except for Xu Taiping, everyone's expressions at this time were full of excitement and anxiety.
"What if another peak comes to you to inquire about swordsmanship, and then takes a fancy to you, how should you choose? You have to know that this seventh peak is just like its name, no matter the cultivation strength of the disciples in the peak, or the possession of In terms of resources, it can only be regarded as the last among all the peaks."
Bai Yu asked Xu Taiping again.
It knows much more about Qingxuanzong than Xu Taiping.
"Of course I'd choose the seventh peak."
Xu Taiping answered without any hesitation.
"Don't be emotional. The road to spiritual practice is long. Your choice today may determine your future."
Bai Yu persuaded.
"No one can predict what will happen in the future. All I can do now is make my choice worthy of my conscience."
As Xu Taiping answered, he raised his head and looked at the Yunlou stand where Zhao Linglong and Qingxiao were.
"That makes sense."
Fairy Lingyue's voice sounded in Xu Taiping's mind.
"But Taiping, if this sword-asking encounter happens again, you'd better take off the things on your body. Even if you can endure it, your soul will not be able to bear it and you will suffer losses."
She then reminded Xu Taiping.
"Okay Sister Lingyue, I just wanted to test the limit of my pain tolerance in the last game. I won't be so reckless in the next one."
Xu Taiping responded in his heart.
In fact, he himself was a little scared in the last battle, because the moment he killed Ji Wuyou, his brain went blank for a moment, as if he had really died.
"The first competition of the Seven Peaks Sword Asking Competition, the first peak, Qionglou Peak, selects the sword asking disciples."
At this time, Elder Black Dragon's rough and hoarse voice sounded from the tallest cloud building.
Upon hearing this, the six outer disciples except Xu Taiping on the stage all showed expectant expressions on their faces.
Qionglou Peak is the most powerful among the seven peaks. It has retained the title of No. 1 Peak in San Jiazi and is their first choice. Therefore, they all look forward to asking them for advice at the No. 1 Summit.
"Qingzhu Residence, Xu Taiping."
At this time, a manly voice sounded.
There is no doubt that the person who said this was the First Peak Master sitting on the Cloud Tower.
However, the reason why the disciples watching the battle in the surrounding cloud towers were making noises was not the identity of the person who said this, but the content of what he said.
"First Peak chose Xu Taiping?"
"Why? Although he defeated Ji Wuyou, his strength and cultivation are obviously not as good as the six of us."
"Yes, why did you choose the first peak like this?"
Not only the people in the Yunlou stands were talking, but the six disciples on the stage were also whispering, and each of them looked at Xu Taiping with confusion or jealousy.
At this time, Xu Taiping frowned.
He didn't want to be selected by the First Peak at all.
"Fortunately, even if I am selected, I still have the right to refuse."
Xu Taiping murmured in his heart.
"Xu Taiping, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Don't refuse it when the time comes."
As if he guessed what Xu Taiping was thinking, Bai Yu in the green gourd quickly reminded Xu Taiping.
Xu Taiping did not argue with Bai Yu because he saw the elder supervising the examination on the stage waving to him.
"Xu Taiping, there will be disciples of the First Peak coming to ask you about the sword soon. When asking about the sword, you have no restrictions except that you are not allowed to use spiritual treasures and talismans. However, even though you are asking about the sword, the sword has no eyes, so it remains the same. You are responsible for life and death.”
The elder reminded Xu Taiping.
"Thank you, elder, for informing me."
Xu Taiping bowed his hands to the elder.
"Please ask the First Peak to send out sword-testing disciples."
At this time, the voice of Elder Black Dragon sounded again.
"The disciple of the First Peak who is trying out the sword this time is a disciple of the Zhenzi generation, Ye Xuan."
Not long after, the voice of the First Peak Master began to echo in the sky above Jianping.
