Chapter 758 – Life and Death Gambling Battle
These three people slowly walked to the middle of the hall and stopped side by side. The one standing in the middle, the black-robed man with a somewhat hideous appearance, coldly spoke, ”Who are the three of us, I think there is no need for any further introduction. Among them, even if there are people who don’t recognize the three of us, they should recognize us by now. This gathering will be hosted by the three of us, does anyone have any opinions?”
The black-robed big man’s voice was icy cold and abnormal, as soon as these words were uttered, a huge aura suddenly emerged from his body, followed by a huge spiritual pressure descending on the entire hall, and the cultivators in the audience sensed the unfathomable aura fluctuation, and then their faces changed slightly.
But Han Li in the heart surprised this person powerful magic power at the same time, the heart but a burst of surprise. Look at this all of the cold magic gas, is definitely the devil that the old devil of the Hephzim, but this old devil look is really different from what he imagined, said Hephzim Sect Elder, but the technique looks more like the devil of the Ghost Spirit Sect!
Han Li did not know that successive generations of the Acacia Sect’s Grand Elder had been known as the Acacia Old Devil. Although the gong method practiced by the black-robed big man was actually a demonic gong that had little to do with the Hehuan Sect, it still had to bear the title of Hehuan Old Devil.
At this point, after the others sensed the big man’s fearsomeness, although they were a little less comfortable in their hearts, they wouldn’t be stupid enough to jump out and challenge the authority of the three great cultivators. For a while, the entire hall was silent, and it was considered a tacit acceptance of what Old Devil Hehuan had just said.
”Good, since there are no opinions, there will be no more nonsense below, and there is actually no time for nonsense. Just this morning, the Mulan people sent a messenger and sent a challenge, saying that if they don’t agree to their conditions, they will fight to the death at the border in seven days.” The black-robed man said expressionlessly.
”A letter of challenge?” “Seven days later?” “What conditions?” There was a commotion from the crowd of cultivators.
”What Brother Yi just said is true. This is the other party’s letter of war, so all of you Fellow Daoists should go through it first, and then we’ll discuss our countermeasures. Although the big battle is a bit earlier than we expected, but with the divine abilities of all of you here, would you really be afraid of the Mulan people?” The daoist with the sword on his back laughed softly and said calmly. Although his voice was not loud, as soon as it entered the ears of the people present, it was like a fresh breeze brushing against their faces, making the hearts of the people cool down and immediately calm down.
The other cultivators were shocked and the commotion immediately subsided, but someone muttered in a low voice, “The Taizhen Sect’s Meditation Skill, it really is a bit of a gateway.”
Hearing this seemingly unconvincing words, that middle-aged Taoist priest was as if he hadn’t heard it, instead, he touched out a bright red jade slip from his robe, casually threw it to a gray-robed old man on the opposite side of the room, and said with a smile, “This is Mulan’s challenge letter, Taoist friend take a look at it first.”
After the old man was stunned, he held the jade slip in his hand without making a sound, and used his divine sense to scan the content inside, his face suddenly sombre, and then with a cold face, he simply threw the jade slip to the person on his side. That person took the jade slip also curiously looked at it with his mind, and his face was equally ugly.
While the crowd of cultivators were passing around the challenge one by one, Han Li took a look at the Taoist priest and the green-shirted old man respectively. The Taoist priest was about forty years old, with crystal white skin and elegant features that made people feel good at first glance, and was supposed to be the Zhiyang Shangren of the Righteousness Alliance’s Tai Zhen Sect.
As for the green shirt old man, from the appearance, is really too ordinary, no matter clothes dress or appearance, there is not the slightest special place, the only thing that makes Han Li pay attention to is that the old man ten fingers even left long nails. And this nail looks sharp abnormal, and body purple and black, flashing a faint light, really some eye-catching. This person was naturally the Grand Elder of the Nine Kingdoms Alliance, Wei Wu Ya.
Wei Wu Ya seems to feel Han Li’s gaze, a slight inclination of the head to look at Han Li, after a pair of eyes, the face shows a hint of surprise, actually smiled at Han Li. Han Li was somewhat embarrassed to return the same smile, but in his heart he couldn’t help but think that if this person knew about himself and Nangong Wan, he didn’t know if he would still be able to smile at him.
Just as Han Li was pondering, Long Han on one side had already finished reading the jade brief that had been passed to him and threw it to Han Li with an unsightly face. Seeing a few people in front of him, Han Li was a bit curious, and immediately immersed his mind in the brief without moving, reading it. After a long time, Han Li withdrew his divine sense with a frown and silently handed the jade slip to another cultivator.
It didn’t take long for the entire jade slip to be passed around, and everyone’s face didn’t look too good, with one or two people even grunting out coldly after reading it, unable to hold back.
”Fellow Daoists have finished reading the war letter, I don’t know what their opinions are.” That Supreme Yang Superior of the Tai Zhen Sect asked with a smile on his face.
”What a big mouth, asking us to give up half of Tiannan to them, do they think they can’t win us steadily?” A gloomy-faced brocade-robed man said coldly.
”Not bad, what do you mean by just giving up some land, we can turn a war into a war. They think that we don’t know that the Mulan people are just bereaved dogs now. I’m afraid that we don’t need to fight them in a duel, just a little bit of dragging on will slowly wear them out.” Another fat-headed old man said with a treacherous look on his face.
”Fellow Daoist Lu, what do you mean by that? Is it because your Thousand Illusions Sect is in the depths of the Heavenly South, so you don’t care if we sects die or live? Fighting a protracted war, of course you Thousand Illusions Sect doesn’t care, but what about our sect’s foundation?” A large dark man sitting beside the obese old man said with an unkind face.
”Isn’t this also for everyone’s sake? The sect can be rebuilt when it’s gone, but people can’t come back to life when they’re dead.” That fat old man was not the least bit afraid of the dark big man, and said indifferently after glancing at it obliquely.
”Hmph! It’s easy for you to say. If our several countries were to be abandoned, why would we cultivators want to block the Farseer army for you devil paths, why don’t we simply move our entire clan to your Tian Luo country, and wouldn’t it be even less likely for one person to die.” Another person said coldly.
”You guys ……”
”Enough, the matter of whether or not to fight a protracted war has long been decided, there’s simply no need to discuss it anymore. Right now, what we need to do is how to deal with the Mulan people’s Farseer army, not for you guys to fight internally.” Hearing this, the black-robed big man’s face sank, and he suddenly exited and chided a few words.
As soon as these three saw that it was this Harmonious Old Devil who had opened his mouth, although they were not convinced in their hearts, they obediently shut up. After all, in the Immortal Cultivation World, it was still strength that spoke.
”In fact, the argument of the three Daoists is not necessary at all, we have long since projected that with the momentum of the Farseer army pouring their clans this time, it is simply impossible to fight a protracted war. If it is not focused on the majority of the power of the South of Heaven, it is simply impossible to stop the other side of the offensive in the slightest, based solely on the power of a clan and a country, I’m afraid that once contact is made, it will immediately collapse. At that time, the one whose strength is consumed, nine times out of ten, will be our own. So this great battle must be fought, and it must cripple the Mulan people, there is absolutely nothing left to chance.” Supreme Lord Zhiyang’s face also became grave.
Upon hearing this, the rest of the cultivators were quiet again after a burst of whispering.
”But what the hell are the Mulan people up to, just fight, why do they need to engage in some kind of betting war first, and they also dare to place such heavy bets. So many precious materials, that is, the big sects and factions can never take out, didn’t they say that the Mulan grasslands are poor in cultivation resources?” The one from the Imperial Spirit Sect, Dongmen Tu, suddenly asked with a flickering gaze.
”This I do know, the Mulan Grassland is indeed poor in resources, but it’s relatively speaking. Spirit stone mines and some common raw material origins are indeed not much relative to the huge number of Fa Shi, but rare materials Mulan Grassland has quite a few of them, and there are even a few of them that are richer than us in Tiannan, and being able to come up with so many of them isn’t that uncommon.” Another person seemed to know quite a lot about the Mulan people and spoke out to explain.
”So that’s how it is, but are they so confident that they will definitely win the betting battle? Apart from late YuanYing cultivators, the rest of them can participate, a bet is ten games, or a life and death bet, do they think that we cultivators are all made of clay?” Dongmen Tu said slowly, a contemplative look appearing on his face.
Which of the people here were not the old and resourceful generation, naturally knowing that the Mulan people proposed this betting war, surely there are some ghosts or hidden tricks, could not help but contemplate the inappropriateness of it at the same time.
Han Li was equally puzzled. Just now read the challenge book said very clearly, this gambling war is held in front of the two sides of the formation, it is impossible to perform any underhanded means, and out of the battle cultivators are directly with the bet on the precious materials on the field of competition, the winner will be able to directly take away the other side of the storage bag.
The only thing that is a little strange, is the challenge book said very clearly, the ten gambling must be held at the same time, and even if the cultivator lost, may not escape, can only die on the spot. For this reason, the betting battle was held in a closed space barrier, and this barrier was formed by both sides sending people to arrange it, and people were also sent to supervise the operation of the spell formation at the same time during the betting battle to prevent the other side from doing anything.
”However, no matter what tricks the Mulanites have up their sleeves, this seems to be a good opportunity for us as well. If we can exterminate a few more high-ranked mages before the armies engage in battle, it will definitely help us a lot.”
”Hmph, I’m afraid the Mulan people are playing the same idea as you.” One person only hesitantly spoke out, and another immediately retorted with a sneer.
”What’s there to think about. If the Mulan people want to gamble on the war, we’ll gamble on the war, there’s no need for that at all. Seven days later we will still follow our own arrangements, there is no need to accept any betting war at all, so that the other party will crack even if they have any more tricks up their sleeves.” These words were actually said by that old man surnamed Fou from Ni Hangzhai, who said disdainfully.
”Unfortunately, although Fellow Daoist Fou Fou has a point, this time, we must participate in the gambling battle, and we must also not win.” Supreme Lord Zhiyang sighed and said somewhat helplessly.
”What? What does the Shangren mean by that, we can’t be led around by the Mulan people!” The old man surnamed Situ frowned and said with some dissatisfaction.
A few of the rest of the old monsters nodded their heads in agreement with this statement.
