However, there was not much time left for Yan Chutian. When he came out of seclusion, there were only two days left before he entered the Antiquity Relic.
At the same time, this bustling city became more and more popular because of this grand event.
Auction houses, even the black market, were becoming more and more open. Needless to say, every auction house was packed to the brim with people. Even the black market, which was usually sparsely populated, was filled with people.
In this bustling city, some gambling businesses were born. Some people listed almost all the geniuses participating in the grand event and even introduced them. It could be said that they were very resourceful.
"Come, come, come! Don't miss out on this! Let's see which genius will be able to obtain a bountiful harvest from the Ancient Ruins and take the lead in the upcoming grand event! Everyone, come and place your bets for the number one genius in your hearts!"
Under the enthusiastic promotion, countless people were attracted. They flipped through the booklets introducing the various geniuses and started to place their bets.
After a lot of excitement, the young masters and disciples of the five major regions were in the lead. After all, in the past, these people were always at the forefront of the grand event. Even if they did not make a profit, they would not lose a lot of money.
However, some people wanted to play it safe, while others would put all their eggs in one basket and bet on the second-tier genius. This was because if they bet on the second-tier genius, their odds would be much higher than those geniuses from the five major regions.
In the past, there were such examples. The latecomers would surpass the seniors and shock everyone. This time, there was an additional segment of the Antiquity Relic, which made the possibility of such a thing happening even greater.
If a second-tier genius could obtain a huge opportunity in the Antiquity Relic, he might really be able to rise up against the heavens and suppress many famous geniuses!
However, even with such a gimmick, there were still too few people who would bet on the disciples of the second-tier forces. Even if there were, they would bet on the disciples of the Divine Heavens Sect or the Great Heavenly Palace.
When it came to Yan Chutian, there was almost no one.
There were only two days left, but in these two days, Yan Chutian still did not give up on finding the natural treasures that Qiu Yu needed, or the Tianmu Golden Lotus that he needed. Unfortunately, he returned in disappointment.
Just as he was about to give up on the search and return to the inn to make some preparations, he immediately saw such a gambling house on the streets.
Curious, Yan Chutian walked closer and glanced around. He was not surprised to see Zhou Ling and the other Young Masters of the Five Major Regions at the top of the list. However, when he saw that his name was at the bottom of the list, he could not help but feel a little depressed.
No matter what, he was one of the top ten geniuses in the Heaven Realm. But now, in this mortal world, he was not even ranked. If this were to spread to the Heaven Realm, countless people would laugh their heads off.
However, it didn't matter since no one was betting on him. Yan Chutian happily took out all the remaining Spirit Crystals he had and placed them under his name.
Yan Chutian's odds were extremely high, so if he could enter the top ten or even the top fifty, he would not lose money. The higher he went, the more Spirit Crystals he could obtain. Thinking of such a huge gain, even Yan Chutian could not help but laugh out loud.
This was because Spirit Crystals were practically falling from the sky for free!
Only Yan Chutian was happy, but he did not know that some people beside him, including the banker, were looking at him as if he was an idiot.
Yan Chutian did not hide his face, so they all knew that he had placed a bet on himself. Although this kind of example was rare, it was understandable and could be considered as cheering for himself.
However, no matter how happy he was, no matter how many Spirit Crystals he invested, it was equivalent to a drop of water. Could it be that he still hoped that he could rise against the heavens and win a total victory?
However, everyone knew that he was after all a genius from a second-rate force, so they did not want to offend him easily. They secretly laughed in their hearts and ignored him.
As for Yan Chutian, he had already walked away from the crowd and returned to the inn.
The last night before the Primordial Ruins arrived quickly. This night was destined to be chaotic in many places. For example, in the inn where Yan Chutian was staying, the three of them were all gathered by Zhu Yun and earnestly advised again and again.
Only when the night was deep did Zhu Yun let the three of them go to rest and quietly wait for the dawn of the next day.
In the depths of an extremely large and prosperous residence in the Central Plains City, there was an old man with a head full of white hair and a vertical eye in the middle of his brows quietly sitting cross-legged on a stone.
Even though this old man seemed to have one foot in his coffin, his strength and cultivation were incomparably powerful. He was one of the few most powerful people known in the entire Central Plains.
Therefore, his identity was obvious. He was one of the top figures in one of the five major regions.
"Whoosh …"
In the depths of the nearly sealed residence, there was suddenly the sound of wind whistling. When he heard this sound, the old man who was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed seemed to know something. He hurriedly opened his old but not turbid eyes.
When he opened his eyes, he immediately caught a glimpse of a black-clothed figure sitting quietly on a stone chair beside the stone table in the room.
When he saw the black-clothed figure suddenly appear, the first thing this white-haired old man, who had always been in a high position and temperamental, thought of was not to reprimand. Instead, he hurriedly got up from the stone and knelt before the black-clothed figure.
"Greetings, my Lord."
The old man knelt for a long time before a cold laugh slowly came from the direction of the black-clothed figure. "Not bad. You are much more sensible than before."
Hearing this, the white-haired old man could only get up and smile awkwardly. It was not that he did not resist, but even his elder brother was seriously injured and unconscious. What could he do?
Furthermore, he had been poisoned. Between his life and his dignity, he had ultimately chosen his life.
"How is everything I told you going?"
The black-clothed figure continued to ask. His indifferent voice did not carry any tone.
"My Lord, the basic arrangements have been carried out secretly. However, if you want to complete everything, you can only wait for everyone's attention to be attracted to the ancient ruins."
"Yes."
The black-clothed figure seemed to nod lightly. Then, the black figure actually gradually became illusory. Only a faint laugh gently sounded in the room.
"Follow my will. In the future, you will naturally be the king of this insignificant mortal world. Otherwise, I think you should know what will happen to your elder brother. "
When the faint laugh truly disappeared, the white-haired old man was unknowingly covered in sweat. Then, he sat down on the stone chair in a panic.
When faced with the black-clothed figure, he really could not summon any thoughts of resisting. He only felt that it was extremely difficult for any of the Domain Masters in the mortal world to be his opponent, let alone defeat him. Therefore, he really did not have any thoughts of resisting.
Moreover, if he could be the king of the mortal world, this was really very attractive to him …!
Night came quickly and left quickly as well. When the first ray of sunlight broke through the darkness and descended on the earth, there were already impatient cultivators who hurriedly gathered above a valley on the east side of Zhongyuan City.
This was the place where the ancient ruins were about to open. Although they were not the geniuses who would participate, it would be extremely good if they could grab a good spot to watch the ancient ruins.
Therefore, before any of the geniuses from the various factions had arrived, a large number of spectators had already gathered around this valley. As far as the eye could see, there were countless people, forming one wave after another.
At the same time, Yan Chutian, Qiu Yu and Luo Xue had just stood still in the inn's courtyard. Then, after Zhu Yun warned him again, he finally flew up and headed straight to the east side of Zhongyuan City.
A moment later, after looking at the countless spectators around the valley, even though Yan Chutian was used to such a grand spectacle, his expression still slightly fluctuated.
Even though it was only a slight change, it was enough to make Qiu Yu beside him feel it. She could not help but ask softly, "What's wrong?"
Slightly turning around to look at the beautiful face of the young girl beside him, Yan Chutian smiled slightly and replied softly, "Nothing, I just suddenly felt a little emotional. When I was discovered by that Ghost Lord, I never thought that I would experience such a scene again, let alone see you again. "
Yan Chutian's ability to spout words of love at any time and any place was getting better and better. Even Qiu Yu was somewhat unable to bear it. Her beautiful face flushed red as she fiercely rolled her eyes at Yan Chutian before straightening her face.
