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

"good!"

Tang Jiannan was in a great mood after persuading Lu Shuang.

He rubbed his hands together and said,

"Then I will trouble you three senior brothers and sisters to bring glory to our sect!"

However, at that moment, Chen Fan shouted loudly:

"Tang Jiannan! A martial arts contest is fine, but before that, you have to show everyone the Snow Lotus! Otherwise, what will happen if the fight is over and the Xuan Tian Snow Lotus isn't here? Don't you think so?"

"right!"

Hua Tianlu and Fa Ziming reacted the same way.

"The talks are going so well now, but what if a winner is decided, and it turns out Tang Jiannan has already secretly taken the Xuan Tian Snow Lotus away? What's the point of all that then!"

"Yes! Hurry up! Take out the Mysterious Snow Lotus and place it in the center. Whoever wins takes it! We don't feel safe leaving it with you!"

Tang Jiannan had no way to refuse and nodded in agreement.

"That makes sense!"

After saying that, he turned around and looked back to find Mo Songyuan's figure.

However, he did not see Mo Songyuan.

"Mo Songyuan! Where are you? Bring me the Xuan Tian Snow Lotus!"

However, he did not respond.

"What?"

Tang Jiannan frowned.

Where did the people of Mosongyuan go? Could they have really escaped with the snow lotus?

He roared again.

"Mo Songyuan! Get out here right now!"

However, he was met with a chorus of confused and bewildered looks.

"Where are the people from Mosongyuan?"

The disciples exchanged bewildered glances and began to whisper among themselves.

"Could this guy have really run off with the Mysterious Snow Lotus?"

"It's not impossible! This Xuan Tian Snow Lotus is priceless. Obtaining it would guarantee at least a top ten finish on the points leaderboard. The temptation is too great, so it's normal that he couldn't resist."

"Wait, aren't their families still in the sect? If he does this, won't his whole family suffer?"

"What do family ties matter when it comes to personal gain?"

The disciples whispered among themselves, but Tang Jiannan's face grew increasingly dark.

If Mo Songyuan really takes the Xuan Tian Snow Lotus away today.

Tang Jiannan has really lost face.

Moreover, these three sects will absolutely not let this go.

As expected, seeing that the Tongtian Sword Sect was slow to produce the Xuan Tian Snow Lotus, Chen Fan immediately added fuel to the fire, shouting:

"Tang Jiannan! What's going on? Aren't you going to bring out the Xuan Tian Snow Lotus? You think you can make us compete with you? You're dreaming!"

Hua Tianlu frowned as well.

"Aren't you going to bring out the Mysterious Snow Lotus for everyone to see? Or do you not have any?"

"Fine! You, Tang Jiannan! You've already secretly taken the Xuan Tian Snow Lotus, yet you're still here making a fool of us like idiots! I'm absolutely furious!"

"Gentlemen! No need to be polite with this despicable scoundrel! You should eliminate him first, then we'll go after the Xuan Tian Snow Lotus!"

"Good! Very good!"

Chen Fan was overjoyed.

"Tang Jiannan! You can't escape today, no matter how many wings you have!"

"hateful!"

Tang Jiannan's face turned bright red with anxiety, and his hand trembled uncontrollably as he gripped the long sword.

I never imagined that all my hard work would result in losing both my wife and my army.

Now they are being besieged by three major sects!

But then, someone in the crowd suddenly shouted.

"Isn't that Mo Songyuan? Mo Songyuan!"

Tang Jiannan, who was in a fit of rage, suddenly turned around upon hearing this.

Then I saw a person in protective clothing standing at the back of the crowd.

Who else could it be but Mo Songyuan?

"Damn it! Where did you run off to? I've been calling you for ages!"

Tang Jiannan was furious.

He darted in front of the man in protective gear in a flash.

He grabbed him by the neck and lifted him up.

"Why didn't you answer when I called you? Bring out that Mysterious Snow Lotus!"

As he spoke, Tang Jiannan's tone revealed a murderous intent.

Even if Mo Songyuan has returned now.

This guy just made him lose face in front of everyone.

At this moment, Tang Jiannan only wanted to kill Mo Songyuan immediately.

Fortunately, he did not lose his mind, and under the watchful eyes of everyone, his murderous intent slowly subsided.

He put Mo Songyuan down and said in a cold tone.

"Give me the Mysterious Snow Lotus!"

"Alright! Here you go! Senior Brother Tang, let me go first, and I'll give it to you from my storage bag!"

Tang Jiannan loosened his grip on Mo Songyuan.

Mo Songyuan took out a lotus flower with a delicate pinkish hue from his storage bag.

As soon as the lotus flower was taken out, a refreshing fragrance immediately wafted out.

Everyone present couldn't help but feel somewhat captivated.

"Such a rich medicinal aroma! This is indeed the Mysterious Snow Lotus!"

"As expected of the most precious herb in this trial grounds, it truly lives up to its reputation!"

"I heard this is a fourth-tier spiritual herb!"

"Are you kidding me? A fourth-tier spiritual herb? My goodness, how much would that fetch?"

Upon obtaining the Mysterious Snow Lotus again, Tang Jiannan's expression immediately softened considerably.

He held the Xuan Tian Snow Lotus aloft:

"Look everyone! There was a little mishap just now. The Snow Lotus is still in my hands, isn't it?"

"Come on, I'll place it here now. Next, disciples from our four sects will compete. The winner will possess the Xuan Tian Snow Lotus. Does anyone have any objections?"

Hua Tianluo and Fa Ziming had nothing more to say when they saw the Xuan Tian Snow Lotus appear.

Chen Fan could only nod in agreement.

Just as he was about to announce that the four groups would come out to fight.

Suddenly, he glanced over and saw Mo Songyuan, dressed in protective clothing, squeezing out of the crowd.

Why did this guy run away again?

Tang Jiannan's eyes narrowed, and he felt that something was wrong the more he thought about it.

This guy's voice sounded a bit off today.

Moreover, his behavior is very strange. Could it be that there is something wrong with this guy?

Thinking of this, Tang Jiannan stared intently at Mo Songyuan's back.

Now, let's talk about Li Ping'an at this moment.

He impersonated Mo Songyuan, obtained the lotus flower, and was pulled ashore.

Then they took advantage of the chaos to escape.

Unfortunately, they encountered disciples of the Eastern Sacred Sect who arrived.

Having no other choice, they had to run back and blend into the crowd.

To his surprise, he was recognized as soon as he blended into the crowd, and people said that he was Mo Songyuan.

Tang Jiannan came directly over and demanded that he hand over the Xuan Tian Snow Lotus.

Under such intense public scrutiny, Li Ping'an had no choice but to hand over the Xuan Tian Snow Lotus he possessed.

There was nothing he could do; things had developed to this point, and he knew what was more important.

In the current situation, it is no longer possible to protect the Mysterious Snow Lotus.

The only option is to hand over the Xuan Tian Snow Lotus and then escape in the chaos.

Although I did not obtain the Mysterious Snow Lotus.

But I have enough herbs that I gathered myself.

Overall, we still made a profit this time.

While Tang Jiannan was announcing the competition rules.

Li Ping'an quietly moved step by step toward the edge of the crowd, preparing to slip away in the chaos.

"stop!"

Suddenly, a thunderous shout rang in Li Ping'an's ears.

His body suddenly froze.

"Mo Songyuan! You come here right now!"

Tang Jiannan stared intently at Li Ping'an, his tone sharp.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Li Ping'an knew that if he ran away, he would be completely exposed.

He could only turn around with a forced smile and say:

"Senior Brother Tang, I've already given you the Xuan Tian Snow Lotus. What else do you need me for?"

"Take off your protective suit! Isn't it uncomfortable wearing it?"
