Just as Xu Taiping had predicted, his Second Senior Brother, Dugu Qingxiao, had accepted the sword challenge.
"Father, hurry and think of something!"
"Cui Tiegu took the initiative to issue a Sword Inquiry challenge. He clearly means to take Second Senior Brother's life!"
"Father, stop waiting to see what happens! Once Cui Tiegu truly makes his move, this match will be over in no time!"
Beside him, his Senior Sister Zhao Linglong was anxiously using a Jade Slip to send messages to Sect Master Zhao Qian.
After listening to a sentence or two, Xu Taiping withdrew his gaze from Zhao Linglong and turned back to the Sword Platform below, where the match would take place.
At that moment, the remaining Sword Cultivators in the Heaven group had already returned to their respective seats below Qilin Peak's Sword Platform.
Only Dugu Qingxiao and Cui Tiegu, who were about to face each other in a Sword Inquiry, remained, slowly walking toward one another.
Just then, Fairy Lingyue suddenly transmitted her voice to Xu Taiping:
"Taiping, if you're worried, I can think of something."
When Xu Taiping looked over with some curiosity, Fairy Lingyue added through voice transmission:
"Although this Sword Chief Ranking left behind by the True Martial Great Emperor is a divine treasure of the highest order in this world, your sister here can still rescue Dugu Qingxiao from under its restrictions."
Hearing this, Xu Taiping nodded gratefully and said:
"If it truly comes to that, Sister Lingyue, I'm sorry for the trouble."
Fairy Lingyue nodded, then reminded Xu Taiping:
"But Taiping, you must be prepared. If I intervene, Su Chan will very likely notice."
Xu Taiping had already thought of this, but in his heart, the safety of his senior brothers and sisters in the Azure Profound Sect came first.
