Bring a scumbag girl to bully me, and you are afraid of using modern weapons.

Some people felt indignant for Lin Ruyan, "Ms. Xie, Miss Lin is just concerned. Even if you don't need her, there's no need to be so harsh to her!"

"After all, you were once a family. Miss Lin took the initiative to express her kindness to you. If you don't accept it, that's fine. There's no need to treat her like an enemy!"

"He's truly narrow-minded. Back then, Xie Feng was such a renowned hero, making friends with many heroes from all over the world. How could he have given birth to such an ignorant daughter?"

There was a barrage of accusations all around.

"Wow! It's so lively here!" A clear voice rang out.

Xie Jinglan looked up and saw that the crowd had parted to form a path. Sikong Xiao walked in wearing a flashy red dress. It was already early winter, and he was holding a fan in his hand, waving it gently.

"Haha! I was wondering who it was? Turns out it's Grandma Wolf here. She's really capable and can stir up trouble wherever she goes." Sikong Xiao said sarcastically.

Lin Ruyan's face suddenly turned pale, she bit her lips tightly, and for the first time, she showed a fierce look in her eyes.

"Sikong Xiao, what nonsense are you talking about again?" Beitang Hong was annoyed. He felt that this cousin always went against them whenever he appeared. He was not like this before.

"My cousin Prince Mu, you are truly blind to have fallen for such a two-faced person. One day, you will regret it." Sikong Xiao shrugged. "Anyway, this is all I have to say. You can do whatever you want."

Beitang Hong's face was gloomy. Yan'er was such a good woman, why were they all targeting her?

"Your Highness, it's all Yan'er's fault. I'm meddling too much." Lin Ruyan lowered her head and sobbed, trying to hide the hatred in her eyes.

She secretly swore in her heart that when she stood in a high position, she would make these people pay.

Seeing her crying, Beitang Hong felt distressed again, "Yan'er, I have already said that an ungrateful person like her is not worthy of your sincere treatment."

Sikong Xiao felt a chill run down his spine. He didn't want to see this woman pretending, so he said to Xie Jinglan, "Miss Xie, the competition is about to begin. Would you like to go in with me?"

"Then please come in!" Xie Jinglan nodded to him and walked away first.

"please!"

Beitang Hong looked at the two men's backs as they left, his eyes looking as if he wanted to stare a hole through them.

Seeing that there was nothing exciting to watch, the onlookers dispersed and rushed towards the martial arts competition arena.

Xie Jinglan and Sikong Xiao followed the crowd, climbed more than 200 steps, and crossed a stone bridge to reach their destination.

"Cousin Xiao, wait for me!" Suddenly a breathless voice came from behind, grabbing Sikong Xiao's hand.

Xie Jinglan glanced at the man and said to Sikong Xiao, "I'll go ahead."

After saying that, he strode away.

She didn't want to see this royal person at all.

Linggun Mountain today is really crowded with people. Looking up, there are crowds of people everywhere.

The venue for the competition can accommodate more than 200,000 spectators. It is large in scale, with a large fighting stage in the middle and a main grandstand.

The venue was almost full at this time, but there was still a steady stream of people coming here.

Xie Jinglan and three of his men walked towards the main stand.

Just as she was about to walk up the stairs, someone in charge stopped her and asked, "Where are you from?"

"Yuyong Country, Duke Li's Mansion, Xie Jinglan, daughter of Xie Feng." Xie Jinglan took out a token and handed it to him.

The steward looked at the token and nodded, "It's Miss Xie. Please go up."

"Thank you." Xie Jinglan put away the token and walked up to the grandstand.

Seeing that she was just a teenage girl, everyone who was sitting there looked over.

Xie Jinglan glanced at these people, trying to find Beitang Yuan, but she didn't see him. Instead, she saw Lin Yuansheng sitting with the people from Tianlong Sect.

She didn't say anything, found Xie's seat and sat down, and her three men stood behind her.

Not long after they sat down, Sikong Xiao, Beitang Qing, Beitang Hong and Lin Ruyan also came up.

Beitang Hong and Sikong Xiao sat in the seats belonging to their own country, while Lin Ruyan and Beitang Qing were not qualified to sit and stood behind Lin Yuansheng and Beitang Hong.

"The Great Elder has arrived!"

When Xie Jinglan heard this, she realized that it was the grand elder of Xuan Ji Sect, the second in command, and the person who was hosting this martial arts competition.

The great elder was in his fifties, walking with a swift momentum, and was followed by a dozen people.

Everyone stood up and bowed.

"I've met the Great Elder."

"You all have come from afar, thank you for your hard work." The Great Elder also clasped his fists and bowed to them.

His eyes swept over everyone and finally stopped at Xie Jinglan. "Are you a member of the Xie family?"

"That's right, Xie Jinglan, the daughter of Xie Feng." Xie Jinglan answered him.

"Yes." The Great Elder nodded and walked to the front of the stands. He spoke in a low voice that could be heard from far away: "The martial arts competition will begin in half a quarter of an hour. All participants, please stand in the front."

Upon hearing this, all those who had signed up for the competition came out, stood under the stands, and lined up. There were estimated to be three or four hundred people.

For the sake of fairness, only one person is allowed to participate in the martial arts competition, regardless of whether he is from a major sect or a member of the royal family.

There are five major sects and countless small sects, three big countries, four small countries, and the others are all famous families from various countries.

Next, the Great Elder explained some rules of the competition, and then the competition began.

The first stage of the competition is to fly to a mountain on the opposite side with a sword and retrieve a flag. Only if the challenge is successful will one be eligible to enter the second round of competition.

Just the challenge of reaching the opposite mountain is enough to stump many people.

Because there is no road from here to the opposite mountain, there are ravines and rivers below, and if you want to get there you have to fly with a sword.

Anyone who can fly with a sword must at least have entered the initial stage of foundation building before he can fly with a sword.

Beitang Qing had walked up to Xie Jinglan at some point and taunted her in her ear, "A loser like you dares to participate in a martial arts competition? You're really overestimating yourself. Let's see how you make it through this first round."

Xie Jinglan didn't say anything, just glanced at him coldly, and walked towards a cliff with the other participants.

"Miss..." Xie Xue and Xie Yin looked at her worriedly.

"Don't worry! I will get the small flag back." Xie Jinglan gave them a comforting look.

Before they even reached the edge of the cliff, many people couldn't wait to fly away on their swords.

Beitang Hong and Lin Ruyan also participated in the martial arts competition, one representing the royal family and the other representing the Tianlong Sect.

The two men followed her closely.

"Xie Jinglan, if you apologize to us now and hand over the antidote to help Xie Tianci detoxify, we might be able to help you."

Xie Jinglan stopped and looked at Lin Ruyan sarcastically, "Doesn't your Yan'er have a heart disease? A few days ago, she was so weak that she even needed your support to walk. Now she's fine?

So even without my blood, her illness can heal itself?"

Lin Ruyan didn't pretend this time and smiled faintly, "It's all thanks to the blood Miss Xie gave me before. Ruyan's heart disease has been cured."

"So you can choose when your illness will heal and when it will relapse? Lin Ruyan, although you have lofty ambitions, I have to admire your acting skills." Xie Jinglan sneered.

"Xie Jinglan, are you so jealous of Ruyan? If you'd just hand over the antidote, we can help you get a flag back." Beitang Hongdao said.

"Forget about the antidote, Lin Ruyan. Aren't you the genius doctor Mosang? You can't even cure the poison I gave you, right?" She was determined to take Lin Tianci's life, and she would never give him the antidote.

Lin Ruyan's expression changed slightly. It turned out that this woman knew everything.

Perhaps! This Xie Jinglan was also reborn.

There was a murderous gleam in her eyes as she looked back.

"Thank you, Miss." Sikong Xiao also hurried to catch up with her, "If you really can't do it, don't force yourself. It's okay to miss one more time."

"I can do it." Xie Jinglan looked at him, "Everyone has left, you should go too! Don't follow me, or Beitang Qing will come to trouble me again."

"Her?" Sikong Xiao's face suddenly darkened. "What did that woman do to you?"

"It's not me. She doesn't have that ability yet, but I don't want to cause trouble." Xie Jinglan said.

"I understand." Sikong Xiao nodded and left.

Xie Jinglan was the last person to reach the edge of the cliff. Hearing bursts of laughter behind her, she knew that those people were laughing at her.
