Our eldest brother never hides good things from us.

"The Nine Yang True Phoenix Nirvana Flame Seed was originally the reward for the champion. Now that you see the champion isn't your peak's holy son, you're trying to switch him out. He's an elder, after all. Isn't this a bit unethical?"

Han Yaodong took the money and got straight to the point.

Just now, Chang Wen was outnumbered and outmatched, and the obese referee didn't take him seriously. Now that Chang Wen has hired the peak master, what will the obese referee do?

Countless eyes were fixed on the obese referee, the pressure palpable.

The obese referee's expression was uncertain; he hadn't expected Chang Wenzhen to be able to hire a peak master. He was now very puzzled—was this the Haoran Immortal Sect, or just a hiring department?

Is it possible to get the peak master to intervene if you have enough money?

However, even though he had a thousand questions in his mind, this was not the time to ask. Since the matter had already occurred, he needed to find a way to deal with it.

He looked at Han Yaodong, "Senior Brother Han, I'm also thinking of Snow Lotus Peak, Nine..."

"Alright, stop trying to fool me."

Han Yaodong interrupted the obese referee, saying, "My time is precious. I don't want to hear any nonsense. Hand over the reward now, and I'll leave. If you don't, don't blame me for beating you. I'll give you ten breaths to consider."

Simple and direct, it shook everyone to their core. They all looked at Han Yaodong with newfound respect and felt boundless reverence for the Peak Master.

Chang Wen was also stunned, suddenly realizing that Han Yaodong was really too handsome.

In the face of absolute status and power, words become superfluous.

The obese referee now has two choices: hand over the torch or summon Xue Wuqing. Either way, he can achieve his goal.

"We implore the Peak Master to step forward and uphold justice."

Just as he expected. Facing Han Yaodong, the obese referee dared not be negligent in the slightest, crushing the communication talisman in an attempt to get Xue Wuqing to make a move.

Before long, snow fell mercilessly upon the scene, like a celestial being descending to earth, eliciting countless gasps of amazement.

What was supposed to be an ordinary peak competition had unexpectedly escalated into a standoff between the peak masters. The disciples watched intently, not wanting to miss a single moment.

"I am aware of what happened, and it was you who was in the wrong."

Xue Wuqing didn't waste any words. She looked at the obese referee and said in a melodious voice, "Although you are thinking of Snow Lotus Peak, you cannot break the rules. The Nine Yang True Phoenix Fire Seed is the champion's reward, so naturally it will be awarded to whoever is the champion."

The sound was clear and cleansing.

The obese referee was dumbfounded. "Peak Master, but the Nine Yang True Phoenix Fire Seed can help Wushuang improve his physique. Losing it would be tantamount to cutting off Wushuang's arm. Moreover, this thing is only useful to special groups of people. Even if others get it, it won't be of much use. If we give it to Chang Wen, wouldn't that be a waste?"

"You shameless dog, why are you barking so openly?"

Before Xue Wuqing could reply, Chang Wen's voice rang out, "My junior sister is tormented by Yin Sha, and the Nine Yang True Phoenix Nirvana Fire Seed can cure her illness. How can that be considered a waste?"

"Why doesn't it count?"

Before the obese referee could get angry, Ning Wushuang took over the conversation. Seeing the Snow Lotus Peak Master arrive, he seemed to have found his pillar of support.

Instantly regaining his usual arrogant demeanor, he glared at Chang Wen, "Resources must be prioritized for those with strong aptitude; this is the ironclad rule of the Haoran Immortal Sect. Only in this way can the sect's lineage continue. As the Holy Son, this Nine Yang True Phoenix Nirvana Flame Seed was tailor-made for me. What makes that girl beside you worthy of it?"

"On a small scale, this is a waste of resources. On a larger scale, it's jeopardizing the sect's future. Can you afford to take that responsibility?"

Everyone turned to look at Chang Wen.

"hehe."

Chang Wen laughed, "You haven't said a word for so long, I thought you were mute. How come you're all acting all high and mighty now that your peak master is here? Turns out, the dignified Holy Son of Snow Lotus Peak is just a useless coward who relies on his master's power and changes his tune with the wind. I think giving you the Fire Seed would be a real waste of resources."

His tone was calm, yet every word was profound. It directly caused Ning Wushuang, the Holy Son of Snow Lotus Peak, to break through his defenses.

Ning Wushuang had never been so humiliated before, and she immediately flew into a rage. Just as she was about to speak, Chang Wen interrupted her.

Chang Wen's tone remained calm. "These are all secondary. Let me answer your question from earlier."

At this point, he placed his hand on Shen Nianqing's shoulder, "You ask me why she got the Fire Seed. It's because she's my junior sister, Chang Wen."

"Who do you think you are?"

Ning Wushuang stared at Chang Wen, mercilessly mocking, "Haoran Peak is about to be taken over. And you're still acting like you have a mandate? At the end of the day, you're just a Foundation Establishment weakling. Wait until Haoran Peak is taken over a year from now, I'll be waiting to see you make a fool of yourself!"

"Are you going to laugh at me?"

Chang Wen's lips curled into a smile. "Why didn't you dare say that when you were being suppressed by the three holy sons? Why are you shouting now? And you still say you're not just a dog relying on its master's power? You've completely disgraced the Snow Lotus Peak Ancestor."

The disciples all nodded in agreement.

It was Ning Wushuang's side that broke the rules, yet they still tried to come up with some fallacious arguments. Their claims are completely untenable.

"you……"

Ning Wushuang broke through the great defense, but had no words to say.

"What? You're not convinced? If you're not convinced, that's fine with me."

Chang Wen looked at Jian Jiuxiao not far away and said loudly, "Junior Brother Jiuxiao, I just had a conversation with the Snow Lotus Saint, and I'm quite unhappy about it. Why don't you teach him a lesson? Price is separate."

The crowd erupted in chaos. In front of the Snow Lotus Peak Master, Jian Jiuxiao was challenged to fight the Snow Lotus Peak's Holy Son?

No, is Chang Wen really that good?

They dare to act like this even in front of the Peak Master?

Aren't you afraid that Peak Master Xue Lian will suppress him? Even Han Yaodong looked at Chang Wen and re-evaluated him. He didn't expect Chang Wen to be so resolute.

What shocked them even more was that Jian Jiuxiao actually agreed…

"Can."

Without a second thought, Jian Jiuxiao agreed immediately. Ignoring who was present, he pointed his sword at Ning Wushuang, "Fight me."

People were completely stunned.

Dude, do you guys think the Snow Lotus Peak Master is invisible?

One of them is really willing to spend money, and the other is willing to put in the effort!

Despite this thought, people didn't believe a battle would occur. After all, the Snow Lotus Peak Master had already appeared and certainly wouldn't let Chang Wen do as he pleased.

But to everyone's surprise, Xue Wuqing didn't seem inclined to intervene. This left everyone completely bewildered. She wasn't going to do anything about it?

Ning Wushuang was also bewildered. She looked at Xue Wuqing and said, "Peak Master, aren't you going to do anything about this? They're riding all over my Snow Lotus Peak."

"Snow Lotus Peak has always prioritized integrity, and rules are rules. Since Chang Wen obtained the top spot through legitimate means, the Nine Yang True Phoenix Nirvana Flame should belong to him. Even if you have a thousand reasons, you should still act in accordance with the righteous path."

"Considering your status as a Holy Son and your outstanding contributions to Snow Lotus Peak, I will spare you this time. If there is a next time, all past and present grievances will be settled."

"Furthermore, the elder judge holds a high position, yet he has acted against the rules, disgracing the reputation of Snow Lotus Peak. Remove him from his position as elder judge and punish him with six months of solitary confinement on the Cliff of Repentance. Bring me the Nine Yang True Phoenix Nirvana Flame Seed."

Snowless lips parted, releasing a melodious, ethereal sound.

His words instantly changed everyone's opinion of Snow Lotus Peak, pulling its reputation back from the brink of collapse.

To everyone's surprise, the Snow Lotus Peak Master not only did not protect the Holy Son, but also executed the referee. She was utterly ruthless.

However, this is clearly a good thing for the disciples of Snow Lotus Peak.

Xue Wuqing's attitude was undoubtedly meant to show his disciples that justice existed on Snow Lotus Peak, and they could rest assured to be themselves.

However, some are happy while others are sad.

Ning Wushuang and the obese referee were clearly not having a good time. One had lost face completely, and the other was facing the wall in repentance. They both looked quite disheveled.
