Chapter 51 Questioning the Sword Order, Two Bad News
In the first round, ask the sword.
In this round, the monks who are assigned to the same group will not force the two to compete. Instead, the monk holding the sword-asking order will ask the monk who wants to challenge the sword on his own and seize the sword from the opponent.
Sword order.
In the end, the three people with the most sword-asking orders in their hands win.
In the second round, grab the sword.
In this round, the Jiufu will release nine fairy swords with the sword intention of Emperor Zhenwu, allowing nine groups of monks holding sword-asking orders to compete within the specified time.
After the time is up, whoever has the sword in his hand will be the winner.
At the same time, that sword also belongs to that sword cultivator.
The third round, Jian Kui.
The rules of this round are the simplest. Among the sword cultivators who enter this round, whoever can stand at the end of the ring below the sword leader list will be the sword leader of this sword leader meeting.
However, in each round of competition, there were many rules that restricted sword cultivators. Zhao Linglong did not elaborate on them one by one. Instead, she engraved them all on the jade slips and asked Xu Taiping to read them by himself.
At the end, Zhao Linglong concluded:
"The True Martial Sword Leader Association does not restrict the age and cultivation level of monks like the Golden Scale Association. However, all monks with cultivation levels above the Heaven-Wang Realm and below the Shocking Heaven Realm can participate."
"It's just that when the difference in cultivation is too large, once the side with weaker cultivation admits defeat, the side with stronger cultivation must not kill, otherwise it will be directly removed from the Sword Leader List."
"So, when it comes to the third round of the Sword Leader Association, basically those who can stay are the strong sword cultivators in the Wentian Realm."
"But even so, the rewards from the first and second rounds of the Sword Master Tournament are enough for the sword cultivator who wins in these two rounds to benefit from it for the rest of his life."
Xu Taiping nodded after hearing this.
He had no doubt about this.
After Zhao Linglong thought about it carefully, she continued:
"In addition, Taiping, the list you have in your hand now is all arranged by Jian Kuibang, and Jiufu cannot interfere."
"Furthermore, as long as there is collusion with each other, deliberately losing to the opponent in the sword competition
Fang, the Sword Leader List will not only remove them from the list, but also erase all their cultivation."
"So there is no need to worry about fairness."
With that said, she handed the jade slip with the detailed rules of this Jiangui meeting to Xu Taiping's hand.
Xu Taiping took the jade slip, thanked him, and prepared to study it carefully.
In his opinion, the True Martial Sword Leader Competition is different from fighting the Yuan Lord in the Jinting Mansion. It is ultimately a competition.
Since it is a competition, the most important thing is to understand the rules and use them.
"Buzz buzz..."
Zhao Linglong, who had just finished explaining the rules to Xu Taiping, picked up a piece of meat with chopsticks and was about to stuff it into her mouth when the sound transmission jade placed on the table suddenly rang.
"Who is this? You didn't look for me earlier or later, but now you're looking for me..."
Zhao Linglong put down the chopsticks in her hand impatiently, picked up the jade slip on the table, and shook it hard in the palm of her hand.
The next moment, under the confused gazes of Xu Taiping and others, Zhao Linglong's expression first changed to surprise, and then to horror at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Immediately, without waiting for Xu Taiping and Fairy Lingyue at the side to ask, Zhao Linglong looked at them with a hint of panic and said, "Everyone, two pieces of very bad news."
Xu Taiping immediately asked:
"what news?"
Zhao Linglong took a deep breath, and then said with a hint of uneasiness in her eyes:
"Senior Sister has just informed me that in the first round of the sword test, Cui Tieggu is on the list of the second senior brother's group. It is very likely that the two of them will meet."
Xu Taiping was a little confused and said:
"Even if they are in the same group, as long as the second senior brother does not take the initiative to ask about Jian, then Cui Tiegu will not necessarily ask the second senior brother Jian? After all, the two have different cultivation levels.
There’s quite a gap.”
In the jade slip, there are detailed rules about the second round. It is stated that if a high-level monk wants to question a low-level monk with a sword, he must spend three opportunities to question the sword.
Under normal circumstances, they would not take the initiative to ask low-level sword monks.
Zhao Linglong shook her head helplessly and said:
"Taiping, you don't know something. After Cui Tiegu became famous in the First World War, one of his adopted sons in the secular world used his name to cause trouble. Because the monks in various provinces were afraid of Cui Tiegu, no one dared to take over Jiu Tiegu.
The government offered a reward and went to attack him."
"In the end, the second senior brother couldn't stand it, so he accepted the reward, went down the mountain in person, took off the head of Cui Tiegugu's adopted son, and sent it to Jiufu."
"Afterwards, Cui Tieggu came to Qingxuan Sect once." ??
"But after fighting with the Black Dragon Elder and seriously injuring the Black Dragon Elder, he left straight away and never came back again."
"Later, my father personally went to Cui Tiegu's dojo to settle the matter completely."
"But the Black Dragon elder stayed behind closed doors. He only said that it is natural for a son to retaliate against his father, and he asked dad not to meddle in his own business."
"But after that, neither Elder Black Dragon, nor his adopted sons, nor his disciples ever caused trouble to Qingxuan Sect again."
"At this point, this matter has come to an end."
When saying this, Zhao Linglong sighed, and then continued:
"We originally thought that after the second senior brother broke through to the Wentian Realm, even if Cui Tiegu had a grudge against him, we would be unable to do anything to him, but unexpectedly, they actually met early at the Zhenwu Jiangui Conference."
After listening to Zhao Linglong's introduction, Xu Taiping also frowned and whispered:
"In this case, Cui Tiegu is very likely to challenge the second senior brother by name in the first round of competition because of the death of his adopted son..."
Fairy Lingyue, who had been listening for a long time, suddenly said:
"Actually, there's nothing wrong with an ordinary sword-fighting competition.
I'm afraid that Cui Tiegu will kill your second senior brother."
Xu Taiping nodded after hearing this.
Fairy Lingyue suddenly suggested to Zhao Linglong:
"You Qingxuan Sect, maybe you can find someone to mediate this matter. Once the grudges are resolved, this won't be a problem."
Zhao Linglong nodded and said:
"That's what I was thinking just now."
Xu Taiping suddenly smiled bitterly, shook his head and said:
"I think the biggest problem now is that with the personality of the second senior brother, even if someone intervenes, he will not hesitate to ask Cui Tiegou for swordsmanship."
In his opinion, from the moment the sword chief list was announced, the sword battle with Cui Tiegu was one that the second senior brother Dugu Qingxiao could not escape and would never escape.
competition.
Zhao Linglong was startled when she heard this, then she gritted her teeth and said:
"I'm going to persuade Second Senior Brother!"
With that said, she stood up and wanted to leave.
However, as soon as Zhao Linglong got up, she was stopped by Xu Taiping who looked helpless——
"Sister, you haven't said the second bad thing yet."
When Zhao Linglong heard this, she patted her head and said:
"I almost forgot about it."
Then, Zhao Linglong said with a somewhat mysterious tone:
"The second bad thing is that Mr. Chu, who took you Taiping to hunt at Wuchang Peak, was just found dead in the Golden Palace at the top of Wanshen Peak."
Speaking of this, Zhao Linglong added with a hint of fear in her eyes:
"And it was someone who nailed both the soul and the body to the plaque of the Golden Palace with one sword!"
Hearing this, Xu Taiping first glanced at Fairy Lingyue casually on the side, and then looked at Zhao Linglong with a surprised look on his face and said:
"Senior Sister Linglong, did you get this information correctly?"
