Sixty years of blacksmithing, a single hammer blow forging a celestial being.

"A Soul-Suppressing Bell? Brought out from the desolate ruins?"

Upon hearing this, Li Ping'an immediately became interested.

He continued, "Where is this Soul-Suppressing Bell now?"

Lin Yu's body trembled uncontrollably, as if she was trying to fight against Li Ping'an's mental control.

However, upon seeing this, Li Ping'an sneered, "You still want to resist under the control of my 'Great Dream Divine Guiding Technique'?"

The mental strength immediately increased.

Lin Yu's body stiffened instantly, and she stammered, "..."

"I buried that Soul-Suppressing Bell in the woods behind the Tongtian Sword Sect. From the first tree on the bluestone path at the mountain gate, count to the bottom of the ninth tree."

"I see!"

Li Ping'an obtained the exact location of the Soul-Suppressing Bell and immediately understood.

It seems I need to find an opportunity to get my hands on this Soul-Suppressing Bell.

He was very curious about the purpose of this treasured artifact of the Demonic Sect.

I acquired the "Great Dream Guiding Divine Technique".

Lin Yu also recovered from the mental control.

She looked at Li Ping'an with a blank expression, clearly unaware of what had just happened.

He saw Li Ping'an staring intently at him.

Lin Yu couldn't help but feel a sense of foreboding.

Years of experience in the underworld led Lin Yu to unconsciously reveal a charming smile.

She said in a sweet, coquettish tone,

"Senior brother, I'm sorry, I mistook you for someone else. I thought you were a disciple of the Crimson Fire Sect."

"fine."

Li Ping'an flashed a bright, sunny smile.

Lin Yu was overjoyed to see this.

It seems this old man is a lecher.

That would make things much easier.

He then said softly.

"Senior brother, to apologize to you, I'm willing to..."

However, Li Ping'an then said the following sentence.

"It's alright, just be more careful in your next life."

Before Lin Yu could react, a black hammer appeared in Li Ping'an's hand.

A series of fierce gusts of wind swept in, crashing straight towards Lin Yu.

Before Lin Yu could even scream, her head exploded like a watermelon.

Li Pingan killed Lin Yu with a single blow and then searched her body.

Sure enough, they found a storage bag, tossed it into their arms, and continued running out of the woods.

We've had enough to eat at Central Lake this time.

Having obtained the Xuan Tian Snow Lotus, they also discovered the burial site of a magical treasure from the Yin Gui Sect.

It can be said that they reaped a great harvest.

If we can get out of here unscathed now, we'll have made a huge profit.

Li Ping'an ran wildly through the dense forest, his mind racing with excitement.

However, he hadn't run far when he suddenly sensed a powerful aura ahead.

not good!

Li Ping'an immediately stopped and looked into the distance.

But then they saw a group of disciples dressed in the same clothes rushing towards the central pool.

Upon closer inspection, they turned out to be people from the Eastern Sacred Sect.

Oh no, it's the people from the Eastern Sacred Sect!

What a coincidence! It just so happens to be in the same direction as where I ran away.

Li Ping'an frowned.

If I were to openly run in their direction now...

They will definitely be discovered on the spot.

Not only will their lives be in danger, but they will also have all their belongings taken from them.

No, I have to go back!

Li Ping'an was helpless.

But now, it seems there's no other way but to turn back.

After all, this group of disciples outnumbered him and if he tried to run to the side, he would be spotted instantly.

He was merely a cultivator at the mid-stage of Qi Refining.

How can I compare my speed with those disciples who have reached the Great Perfection of Qi Refining?

They'll definitely catch up, so the only option is to go back to the central pool, wait for them to start fighting again, and then escape in the chaos.

Left with no other choice, Li Ping'an had to turn his attention back to his gun.

They ran towards the place where the Tongtian Sword Sect and the Chihuo Sect were fighting.

At the same time, the people of the Eastern Sacred Sect also headed towards the central pool in a large group.

Extremely fast.

The leading middle-aged disciple said in a cold voice:

"I heard the disciples from the Crimson Fire Sect and the Heavenly Sword Sect have arrived. I wonder if the Mysterious Snow Lotus has been picked yet. We need to hurry, or we won't even get a sip of the soup!"

"yes!"

The disciples of the Eastern Sacred Sect obeyed the order and sped up their pace.

Meanwhile, on Li Ping'an's side...

He fled back to the location of the central pool, and to avoid being recognized, he put the protective suit back on.

At this moment, the two sides had reached a fever pitch in their battle.

They were fighting fiercely.

The ground was littered with the corpses of his disciples.

There were members from the Tongtian Sword Sect and members from the Chihuo Sect.

Meanwhile, in the sky, Chen Fan and Tang Jiannan were locked in a fierce battle.

Both of them were injured and bleeding profusely.

However, their eyes were filled with a determined fighting spirit.

"Tang Jiannan, I will kill you today!"

"snort!"

Tang Jiannan dodged Chen Fan's sword strike and slashed down with his own sword.

"You think you can kill me, Chen Fan?! I'm destined to surpass you!"

"Pooh!"

Chen Fan parried Tang Jiannan's sword strike and roared.

"Things have changed. I am no longer the one you once suppressed! Take this!"

The two started playing ping-pong.

But then a group of disciples rushed out from not far away.

Tang Jiannan feinted with his sword, and immediately frowned.

The disciples of the Giant Elephant Sect have arrived!

Another group of people arrived, adding even more variables!

He hadn't even had a chance to speak.

Suddenly, another group of people rushed out from the left.

The disciples of the Eastern Sacred Sect have also arrived!

In an instant, all the disciples of the four major sects gathered here.

Seeing this, Chen Fan and Tang Jiannan exchanged glances, both understanding each other perfectly.

So they shouted at each other.

"Disciples of the Tongtian Sword Sect, all of you, stop!"

Chen Fan shouted,

"Disciples of the Crimson Fire Sect, all of you, cease your attack!"

In an instant, with these two commands...

Both teams, who were locked in a fierce battle, stopped fighting.

They glared at each other with angry hatred.

Meanwhile, the disciples leading the Eastern Sacred Sect and the Giant Elephant Sect also arrived at the central pool.

Seeing that the Tongtian Sword Sect and the Chihuo Sect had suddenly stopped fighting, they couldn't help but feel somewhat disappointed.

They originally thought that if the two factions fought fiercely, they could then reap the benefits.

But clearly, neither Tang Jiannan nor Chen Fan were fools. They knew that all four major sects were present at this moment, and there was no point in their two sects fighting to the death here.

"What a coincidence, everyone! We're all gathered here together again."

Chen Fan laughed heartily and joked around.

He was no longer the fierce fighter he had been when he was fighting Tang Jiannan.

"Of course, everyone wants this Mysterious Snow Lotus."

The disciple leading the Eastern Sacred Sect was a tall, broad-faced disciple with thick eyebrows.

He strode forward, heading towards Chen Fan and Tang Jiannan.

At the same time, he glanced at the location of the Xuan Tian Snow Lotus and frowned.

"The Mysterious Snow Lotus has already been picked? So quickly!"

"What?! The Mysterious Snow Lotus has actually been picked!"

Fa Ziming's original refined and easygoing demeanor vanished, replaced by impatience and rage.

"You guys did it so quickly! It takes thirty or forty people working together to harvest this Xuan Tian Snow Lotus! Was it you, Tang Jiannan, or you, Chen Fan?"

Fa Ziming looked at the two of them with ill intent.
