Once the martial arts wager is made, both sides must abide by it!

If one party breaks their promise, it is the greatest provocation and slander against the other party!

Even if Zhang Xiaoshan slapped Xia He to death right now, it would be in vain.

This matter is between Zhang Xiaoshan and Xia He, originally Ma Zhengting did not want to intervene.

But at this moment, he could only open his mouth and speak.

"Zhang Xiaoyou, the storage ring is half of a cultivator's life and wealth."

"Could we negotiate, and perhaps have her offer other treasures to you instead?"

In Ma Zhengting's mind, as a Divine Realm Grandmaster, speaking politely to Zhang Xiaoshan was already giving him a lot of face.

Even if Zhang Xiaoshan was unwilling, he should nod at this moment.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Xiaoshan's voice was extremely calm as he spoke to Xia He not far away.

"I'll ask you one last time, will you leave behind the storage ring?"

These words caused both Xia He and the Grandmaster Ma Zhengting's expressions to change instantly!

The smile on Ma Zhengting's face completely disappeared, replaced by an extreme coldness!

That Zhang Xiaoshan, a mere junior, dared to disrespect Ma Zhengting; he was simply seeking death!

Xia He, naturally, would not willingly leave the storage ring.

Not only was she unwilling to leave the storage ring, but she also intended to retreat and escape.

Witnessing this, Zhang Xiaoshan could only shake his head.

"Swipe!"

The next moment, everyone in the field saw a figure, swift like a fleeting horse, like a shadow flashing by.

"Ah!"

Many hadn't seen clearly when Xia He was already holding her right hand, wailing on the ground.

Her fingers had been severed, two of which were cut by Zhang Xiaoshan's sword qi.

Her storage ring was now in Zhang Xiaoshan's hands.

After completing all this, Zhang Xiaoshan had no intention of remaining in the hall; he turned and left directly.

Ma Zhengting, while somewhat inclined to stop Zhang Xiaoshan, refrained from doing so.

To take action now would only further disgrace the Mirror Lake Villa.

When Zhang Xiaoshan left, Ma Tong and Lin Miaomiao quickly followed him out.

Not only them, but many other cultivators also left with Zhang Xiaoshan.

Although they hadn't brought refining materials this time, they could still invite Zhang Xiaoshan to their territories for artifact refining.

There were quite a few cultivators with this thought, quickly leaving the hall deserted.

The remaining few cultivators couldn't sit still and temporarily took their leave.

The once lively hall was now only occupied by Ma Zhengting and his daughter Ma Jingyi, and the pained Xia He.

Ma Jingyi now seemed wrapped like a mummy.

Her injuries were not very serious, all being superficial.

However, she would have many hideous and terrifying scars left on her body in the future.

Xia He actually wanted to leave, but she dared not.

At this time, Ma Zhengting clapped his hands.

Soon an old hunchbacked man, previously hidden, appeared beside Xia He.

The hunchbacked elder did not assault Xia He.

Instead, he took out a healing pill and handed it to Xia He without a word.

"Thank you, Mr. Ma."

Taking the pill, Xia He ingested it, and the pain at her severed fingers slowly subsided.

With her wounds stabilized, Xia He spoke respectfully.

"Mr. Ma, my teacher Li Chengfeng has a few Hundred Flowers Jade Dew Pills in his collection."

"When I return to Xuanqi Sect this time, I will certainly obtain one for sister Jingyi so she can recover fully."

Xia He knew she had to account for this to Grandmaster Ma Zhengting.

Otherwise, she would not be able to leave here.

After she finished speaking, Ma Zhengting nodded and said.

"I hope you keep your word."

"I will give you no more than a month."

"If I do not see the Hundred Flowers Jade Dew Pill within a month, I will go personally to Xuanqi Sect to speak with Li Chengfeng."

Xia He immediately shook her head repeatedly and quickly said.

"Mr. Ma, rest assured, no matter what, I will deliver the Hundred Flowers Jade Dew Pill within a month."

After making the promise, Ma Zhengting nodded.

Only then did Xia He feel relieved enough to leave the hall.

"Dad, can I still recover?"

"If not, what will I do in the future?"

"This matter is not entirely Xia He's responsibility!"

"It is all Zhang Xiaoshan and Ma Tong's fault; if they hadn't provoked me, I wouldn't have come here today and would not have encountered this disaster."

"Dad, you must not let Zhang Xiaoshan and Ma Tong off easily."

Ma Jingyi started complaining at this moment.

When she tried to continue speaking, Ma Zhengting waved her off and said.

"I will handle this matter, you don't need to say more, go and rest."

Ma Zhengting, of course, understood his daughter.

The real situation was evidently not as Ma Jingyi said.

But it didn't matter; he had already decided to take action against Ma Tong and Zhang Xiaoshan.

His position as Family Head was not legitimate.

Internally, there had always been another voice within the Ma family.

Previously, when Ma Tong was weak, he could ignore these hidden threats.

This incident made him realize that even though Ma Tong had fallen into her current situation, she could still connect with a young talent like Zhang Xiaoshan.

If Ma Tong is not completely dealt with, nurturing the threat will eventually lead to harm!
