His response was a frenzied attack of talismans.

Although the room was spacious, there weren't many places to hide.

Moreover, this room belongs to Hu Sheng.

If it were truly destroyed without restraint,

That's really hard to believe.

Mo Yunhan moved swiftly, dodging and weaving, and soon darted to the window and climbed onto the roof ridge.

He hurriedly straightened his clothes.

"You woman, you're being completely unreasonable."

Qi Huang's smile was filled with murderous intent.

"Hero Ah Qi, for the sake of your life, you should find somewhere else to go."

After saying that, he slammed the window shut.

They called the waiter in to move the wooden buckets away and cleaned the floor.

Then they even bolted the door.

She sat on the edge of the bed, took out a map from her sleeve, and examined it repeatedly.

But then the sound came from outside the window again.

“Miss Feng Jiu, I don’t mean to pester you. I sincerely want to cooperate with you to seize the treasure. I can take you into the inner area to search for the Phoenix Grass up close. Once we succeed in seizing the treasure, I can agree to whatever you say on how to divide the spoils.”

According to Zhong Yuan,

Phoenix grass is comparable to a divine herb.

The medicine was quite effective, but Jiang Qingwan didn't know any martial arts.

I'm afraid they won't be able to withstand the full effects of the medicine.

He wanted to take the whole thing because he was worried about something going wrong when it was used in medicine; the rest could be used as a substitute.

However, if it is not possible to take the whole thing, taking only one-third of it is enough.

He will frankly state his demands.

"If it can't be divided in two, then it can be divided in three. I'll take one. You can take the other two. I swear on my life I won't stop you."

“I know your ability to teleport anywhere using the black mist. But from what I’ve observed, the teleportation distance of your black mist is not enough to allow you to enter the inner area from outside the manor.”

Qi Huang had already considered these factors.

That's why I'm looking for someone to collaborate with.

But this person absolutely cannot be Ah Qi outside the window.

"No need for you to worry, I have my own way of getting in."

Nothing more was said that night.

The next day, when Qi Huang was having breakfast, he didn't see A Qi again.

I assumed he couldn't stand the cold outside last night and went somewhere else, so I didn't think much of it.

After packing up and saying goodbye to Hu Sheng and Chi Wen, they went directly to Yunxian Manor.

But when the appointed time arrived, the person from last night never appeared.

I was in a hurry,

She saw Ah Qi leaning leisurely against the wall not far away, holding a long sword and watching her.

The eyes beneath the mask clearly held a smile.

With ill intentions.

Seeing her looking over, he lazily got up and strode closer.

"What, there's no other way?"

"Did you do this?"

Qi Huang stared at him coldly.

Frustrated, I wanted to take action.

Mo Yunhan didn't hide anything and nodded in agreement.

"It's me, so can our cooperation proceed now?"

Qi Huang's face tightened with anger.

But she didn't have much time to waste.

The sounds of fighting could be heard coming from inside.

Only those who pass the preliminary selection in the front yard can enter the inner field to officially participate in the competition.

Once the preliminary selection is complete...

It's impossible to get back in now.

She could only nod in agreement.

Each person entering the inner area may bring one accompanying servant or maid.

Mo Yunhan easily passed the preliminary selection and led Qi Huang into the inner area.

As they passed through the archway, Qi Huang leaned closer and whispered something.

"I'll use the invisibility talisman to find clues about the Phoenix Grass later. You try to delay the duel as much as possible."

Mo Yunhan abruptly stopped in his tracks.

Invisibility charm?

Why does this woman also use an invisibility talisman?

He was just about to ask,

A commotion arose from inside the venue.

The two of them looked up at the same time.

A middle-aged man dressed in a crane-patterned robe landed lightly on the arena.

"It's Jiang Xiao, the peak master of the Twelve Peaks and the current acting sect leader of the Free and Unfettered Sword Sect. I never expected that he would be the one to host this martial arts competition."

"I've heard that this person is not only exceptionally skilled in martial arts, but also proficient in various martial arts manuals. If I have the opportunity to become his disciple, this trip will not have been in vain."

Amid the murmurs, Jiang Xiao glanced over in their direction almost imperceptibly.

He smiled faintly.

"You have all graced the manor with your presence and supported the Sword Sect's martial arts contest for marriage. On behalf of the Free and Unfettered Sword Sect, I thank you all."

Everyone returned the greeting.

Jiang Xiao added,

"The rules of this competition are very simple: fair and square, the winner takes all. If anyone dares to do anything dishonest today, they will be considered an enemy of the Free and Unfettered Sword Sect, and I will use the full strength of the sect to pursue them to the end."

"To ensure fairness, none of the disciples of the Free and Unfettered Sword Sect will participate. In order to prevent any parties from forming alliances, our sect has also invited the world's number one swordsman, Zhongyuan Chou, to oversee the final duel."

This action did not elicit any sense of injustice.

For a chivalrous knight-errant, the opportunity to spar with the world's greatest swordsman is far more exciting than marriage.

Some people laughed and shouted.

"Peak Master, the grand martial arts competition is about to begin. Won't Miss come out to meet us?"

Everyone burst into laughter.

People of the martial arts world are not bound by trivialities.

Jiang Xiao didn't pay attention to these worldly rules either.

He explained with a faint smile.

"Miss Hui and Phoenix Grass are both on their way. Judging by the time, they will definitely not miss the final battle."

Mo Yunhan turned his head to look at Qi Huang.

"It seems there's nothing you can do for the time being."

Qi Huang was also surprised that the Phoenix Grass had not arrived even though the grand martial arts competition had already begun.

She could only wait in the stands for her chance.

Ten people can participate in the arena at a time.

If one person falls, another can take their place.

Whoever perseveres to the end will be able to compete with the Central Plains heroes.

As the battle intensified...

Mo Yunhan's moves became increasingly fierce.

He gradually became immersed in the martial arts competition.
