"Stop them!" Tan Zemin roared. "Don't let them take the black lotus flower!"

All people from Solaris village immediately left their opponents and tried their best to stop the people from Sanlow village from entering the cave.

When Huang Hu was about to enter the cave, Gaozhi stopped him. "Where are you going? Let's decide who is stronger among us now!"

"Move! I don't have time for you now!" Huang Hu no longer wanted to fight Gaozhi because the black lotus flower was his priority.

Whatever happened, he had to bring the black lotus flower home because it could cure Qiao Luli's disease.

Xing Juzong rushed toward the cave.

'I won't let them get the black lotus flower.'

He tried his best to stop them, but it was difficult because his enemies outnumbered him.

*Ting…Tang…Ting…

If they had previously fought outside the cave, they were now fighting in the cave.

Xiao Tian skimmed his surroundings.

'I have to defeat weak martial artists first.'

They had more numbers, so he wanted to reduce their numbers first.

"Nadeshiko!"

"Zishi!"

He wanted to reduce their numbers as quickly as possible, so he used his secret techniques.

Sure, they were not dead and only fell unconscious, but he did not care about it because his main goal was to reduce their numbers.

Ming was unhappy when Xiao Tian only attacked the weak martial artists. "Your opponent is me!"

He immediately threw a high kick when he was close to Xiao Tian, intending to kick Xiao Tian's head.

However, he failed to land his kick on Xiao Tian's head because Xiao Tian's reflexes were good.

Tan Zemin had the same thought as Xiao Tian.

'Mr. Qing is right. We have to reduce their numbers first, or else we will be at a disadvantage later.'

He rushed toward the martial artists who were at the master stage.

Tan Zemin was already at the grandmaster stage, so it was not difficult for him to defeat them.

In a short amount of time, they were equal in number.

There were currently eight people fighting in the cave; four people from Sanlow village and four people from Solaris village.

When Ming noticed that many of his fellow villagers passed out on the ground, he decided to change the tactic.

He told Gaozhi and the others to bring his brothers out of the cave. At first, Gaozhi complained because he still wanted to fight Huang Hu.

However, Ming said he would report his actions to the village head if he did not listen to his order.

That was why he rushed out of the cave with an annoyed face.

Xiao Tian and the others were stunned when people from Sanlow village suddenly rushed out of the cave.

'What's going on?'

That was the question that appeared in their minds.

When Tan Zemin saw Huang Hu running toward the entrance, he uttered, "Don't chase them!"

Huang Hu stopped.

'Ah, right. Our priority is the black lotus flower.'

He returned to Tan Zemin's side.

"Let's take the black lotus flower now." Tan Zemin uttered.

"Alright." Huang Hu and the others responded in unison.

They immediately headed to the pool. Tan Zemin carried his two unconscious brothers on his shoulders.

After walking for about five minutes, they finally reached their destination. There were two pools inside the cave; a big pool and a small pool.

The large pond was filled with lotus flowers and had dark water, while the small pool had clean blue water without any plants on it.

Even though they were inside the cave, they could still see their surroundings clearly because sunlight entered the cave through the hole in the roof of the cave.

Tan Zemin put his brothers on the ground and said, "There are a lot of black lotus flowers. Let's take it."

They began picking up the black lotus flower.

"Instructor Ming, why did you order us to retreat?" Gaozhi was unhappy with Ming's decision. "Didn't the village head order us to take the black lotus flower no matter what?"

"I have a good idea." Ming did not tell them the reason why he told them to retreat earlier, so he could understand Gaozhi's actions.

He and the others were currently standing outside the cave. Even though he told them to retreat, but they did not return to their village.

"What is it?" Gaozhi asked curiously.

"It's like this." Ming told them that he wanted to trap Xiao Tian and the others in the cave.

Even though Tan Zemin and the others would get the black lotus flowers, but they would die from starving if they could not leave the cave because they did not bring food with them.

With this, not only would they get the black lotus flowers, but they could also kill Tan Zemin and the others.

It was like killing two birds with one stone.

"How do we trap them in the cave?" Gaozhi threw another question.

"We will block the exit by destroying the entrance." Ming responded, "They are busy picking up the black lotus flowers, so they won't notice it."

Gaozhi and the others thought his idea was brilliant.

"What are we waiting for? Let's destroy the entrance now!" Gaozhi said excitedly.

As Xiao Tian and the others were busy picking up the black lotus flowers, Ming and his brothers destroyed the entrance, blocking the exit.

After that, Ming ordered Gaozhi to return to the village and bring more people because they needed to watch the cave non-stop.

Gaozhi wasted no time and immediately went back to his village.

At the same time, Tan Zemin and the others were sitting in front of the pool. They decided to take rest for ten minutes before returning to their village.

At first, they wanted to go home immediately, but they changed their minds because they needed to recover their stamina first.

Previously, they had a fierce fight against the people from Sanlow village, so they had used a lot of stamina.

It would be really troublesome if they encountered people from Sanlow village without having the stamina to fight.

That was why they decided to rest for ten minutes.

"Good! We got many black lotus flowers." Tan Zemin smiled happily when he saw the black lotus flowers in his bag.

Of course, he did not pick up all the black lotus flowers in the pond because he wanted the plant to keep reproducing.

With this, they could pick it up again if they needed it.

"Mr. Qing, thank you for introducing doctor Long to us." Tan Zemin thanked Xiao Tian for introducing Long Jingxian to them.

"You don't need to thank me because I already regard Luli as my friend." Xiao Tian responded.

"And I'm sorry for suspecting you as a spy a few days ago." Ten Zemin uttered.

"It's fine" Xiao Tian could understand their actions, so he could forgive them.

They began to chat.

They also discussed a tactic if they met people from Sanlow village again.

Without realizing it, it had been ten minutes since they rested.

Tan Zemin rose to his feet and spoke, "Alright. Let's return to the village now."

Xiao Tian and the others immediately stood up. Like before, Tan Zemin carried his two unconscious brothers on his shoulders.

He gave the bag to Huang Hu because he was afraid that the black lotus flowers would be crushed if he carried it.

They walked toward the entrance with smiles on their faces. However, the smiles on their faces instantly disappeared when they reached the entrance.

'The exit! The entrance is destroyed!'
