Mortal Bones

Xu Taiping didn't think Fairy Lingyue's words were a joke, so he recorded the matter in his mind very seriously, nodded and said:

"When the time comes, unless Bai Di names him to ask me about the sword first, I will never ask him about the sword in advance."

In Xu Taiping's view, since he wants to win in this competition, he must not let go of any opportunities and conditions that can be grasped.

Zhao Linglong seemed to be infected by Xu Taiping's thoughts, and immediately assured him:

"Don't worry, little junior brother, I will try my best to get the information for you not only about Bai Di, but also about the monks who are in the same group with you."

When he said this, he habitually glanced at the names floating in the sky above the spiritual mirror.

However, just when Zhao Linglong's eyes were about to sweep over the dozens of names.

Her eyes were suddenly drawn back by a very familiar name.

Immediately, her eyes with a hint of anger fixedly looked at that name——

"The Valley of Forgetfulness, the deer are all white."

Xu Taiping followed Zhao Linglong's gaze and saw the name. He frowned and said:

"How come this person isn't dead yet?"

This Lu Sibai was none other than one of the thirteen arsonists in the Liang Kingdom.

After he killed Liang Chengshan in Dry Stone Sea, his next target was actually Lu Sibai.

However, at that time, he first encountered Jiulong Zhelian, and then followed Qingtong Evil Lord and others to Jinting Mansion to deal with the Yuan Lord, so he could not take care of Lu Sibai.

But now, decades have passed since then, and Xu Taiping thought that he had already died at the hands of his second senior brother or other Zhenwutian monks.

Unexpectedly, this guy is still alive and well.

When Zhao Linglong heard Xu Taiping's words, she immediately asked with confusion:

"Taiping, don't you already know that this Lu Sibai was one of the thirteen arsonists back then?"

Xu Taiping was startled, and then he remembered that he knew that Lu Sibai was the arsonist, but he did not tell Zhao Linglong and the others at that time.

Xu Taiping nodded and explained:

"Back then, after questioning Liang Chengshan, I originally wanted to find evidence of Lu Sibai's crime and then question him."

"It's just that I got involved in the controversy and had to give up."

Zhao Linglong nodded when she heard this, and then explained to Xu Taiping:

"It was only in the seventh year after you disappeared that we discovered through an accidental experience that this Lu Sibai was most likely the arsonist back then."

"But at that time, Lu Sibai had destroyed all the evidence from that year, and he became the son-in-law of Wangyou Valley, with the support of the owner of Wangyou Valley."

"So even if we knew he was the arsonist, there was nothing we could do about him."

When he said this, Zhao Linglong suddenly smiled slyly, and then continued:

"Later, we heard that Lu Sibai intended to participate in the Zhenwu Swordsman Association, so the Jiufu discussed it together and made an exception to send him a sword-asking order."

When Fairy Lingyue heard this, she smiled with admiration in her eyes and said:

"This plan is brilliant."

Fairy Lingyue continued:

"When he receives the sword-asking order, the sword cultivators of Zhenwu Tian will be able to kill him with their swords in a fair and just way at the Zhenwu Sword Leader Conference."

"If he is unwilling to accept the sword-asking order, it will be equivalent to admitting to the five worlds that he is indeed one of the arsonists."

"When the time comes, even if he is willing to bear this infamy, Wangyou Valley will never be willing to do so."

Zhao Linglong nodded vigorously and said:

"The fairy is right."

Zhao Linglong continued:

"Ever since Lu Sibai took over the sword-asking order, the major immortal houses in Zhenwu Tian have been looking forward to having their disciples be grouped together with Lu Sibai."

"The same is true for our Qingxuan Sect."

"When I came here, I also asked the second senior brother and senior sister, and it turned out that among their opponents, there was no such thing as Lu Sibai."

When she said this, Zhao Linglong looked at Xu Taiping with a smile and said:

"I didn't expect that I would meet you Taiping."

"Junior brother, your luck in this swordsmanship is really good."

Hearing the word "luck", Xu Taiping felt a little helpless, but he still smiled at Zhao Linglong and said:

"I have benefited from you, senior sister."

Immediately he said seriously again:

"In this first round of competition, as long as Lu Sibai is not defeated before I ask him for a sword, I will definitely ask him for a sword and give a thorough explanation to the tens of millions of people who died in Daliang Kingdom."

When Zhao Linglong heard this, she nodded solemnly and said:

"I believe you can do it Taiping!"

Next, several people checked the list in detail. After confirming that there were no monks on the list who needed special attention, Zhao Linglong put away the spiritual mirror with confidence.

At this time, Xu Taiping continued to ask Zhao Linglong for advice while holding dishes for Zhao Linglong:

"Senior Sister, I came back in a hurry, and I don't know much about the rules of the Zhenwu Sword Master Competition. Senior Sister, can you tell me in detail?"

Xu Taiping only had a general understanding of the Zhenwu Jiangui Association.

I don’t actually know much about the specific rules.

Zhao Linglong sizzled twice, swallowed a mouthful of mutton, then nodded to Xu Taiping:

"I originally wanted to tell you about this this time."

She picked up the tea and took a sip, then put down her chopsticks, looked at Xu Taiping and said:

"Because this is the first time that Zhenwutian has reopened the Jiangui Association after more than ten thousand years, so the rules are quite different from the former Jiangui Association."

Then, Zhao Linglong explained the rules of this Zhenwu Sword Contest to Xu Taiping one by one.

According to Zhao Linglong's explanation, this Zhenwu Sword Contest is divided into three rounds.

The three rounds are:

The first round, asking for the sword.

The second round, seizing the sword.

The third round, sword champion.
