"Why should I? I can't be gambling buddies with all of you, but I have a few brothers and friends who are currently in Tiantang City. I believe all of you have heard about them. They are the four young masters of the four noble families of Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter. Other than being filthy rich, they are just as bored as all of you. If all of you want to play, I'll let the four of them play with all of you, win or lose, just for fun. This way, the range isn't too big and there's no additional hostility … "
Yun Yang smiled sincerely. "Of course, if you're not willing to play or can't afford to, then forget it. Gambling with them requires a certain amount of courage and wealth. It won't be fun if you're not careful … "
When the generals of the various countries heard this, their interest was piqued, especially the few old gamblers among them, who felt even more itchy and unbearable.
Yun Yang's provocation aside, the title of the four noble young masters was a huge temptation.
Yun Yang not playing? Gambling with the four noble young masters?
That was not a problem at all.
As long as Yun Yang did not participate in the game himself, there was no need to worry about cheating. After all, the four noble young masters were famous popinjays in the continent; almost everyone knew about them. Who knows, they might even be able to get to know each other through this gamble. Even if they could not build any kind of relationship, gambling was something that depended on luck. There were so many of them here, surely their luck would be much better than those four fellows?
The crowd had even begun to imagine that they did not need to win much, as long as each of them could win a few hundred pots of wine, it would be enough!
"What's the big deal about playing around? Let's set this single round for tonight. Can you arrange it? " A bearded general asked. It was the general who had invited Dayuan; he was still feeling the pinch after spending so much money. Now that there was a chance to recoup his losses, how could he let it go?
"Will this single round be arranged in a regular casino?" Another person asked.
There was a big problem with this question. Under normal circumstances, there were too many experts in the Profound Sky Continent. Controlling gambling devices remotely and interfering with the key to winning or losing was simply too easy and too common. Therefore, any slightly larger casino would set up Golden Profound Stones.
The so-called Golden Mystic Stone was the Forbidden Mystic Stone. In the casino, as long as there was a Golden Mystic Stone, then within the range of the Golden Mystic Stone's influence, no one would be able to freely use Profound Qi.
Of course, the Gold Mysterious Stone could only affect a cultivator's use of Qi on a small scale. It could not really suppress the use of Qi on a large scale. For example, if a cultivator burst out Qi regardless of anything, the Gold Mysterious Stone would no longer have any effect. However, those who used Qi to cheat in the casino all used delicate and subtle methods, which were restrained by the Gold Mysterious Stone.
Other than that, there was a limit to the Golden Mystic Rock's limitations. It would be difficult for the Golden Mystic Rock to be effective against an expert above the ninth peak.
However, the problem was … Which expert above the ninth peak would be so bored as to play in a casino? Even if they did, it would be for real. Why would they use high-level mystical energy to deceive themselves?
On the other hand, relatively large casinos would often use Golden Mystic Stones as floor tiles to completely cut off the possibility of cheating. That was why that person had asked such a question. It wasn't difficult to guess that this person was definitely a frequent customer of the casino.
"Whether it's legal or not, we'll know immediately after we try it." Yun Yang smiled and said, "The casino I mentioned even has a ceiling made of golden mystical rock."
The generals were relieved when they heard him.
There was really no possibility of cheating then.
They could only rely on luck and skill.
Almost everyone who liked to gamble felt that they were the best when it came to these two aspects.
"Let's go tonight!"
For a moment, thirty to forty people's eyes lit up.
Those experienced and prudent generals, or those with high authority, would not go to such a place.
Those who responded were basically generals in their thirties and forties.
Some of them were even winking at Yun Yang.
Yun Yang snorted inwardly.
This group of fellows, firstly, wanted to win money and look for excitement. Secondly, it was because there was something going on. Especially the collusion between the generals of these few countries … there seemed to be quite a number of people who hadn't come to an agreement during this period …
Perhaps they wanted to take this opportunity to communicate and discuss the possibility of cooperation, or perhaps they were simply plotting something with each other …
Yun Yang was well aware of these matters and said, "That's settled then. I'll arrange it now. I'll bring everyone there after dinner. We'll meet at the entrance of the Tower to Heaven Inn then. Be there or be square. Leave quickly. Let everyone have a good time tonight. I won't be a hindrance to all of you. "
The generals rolled their eyes. This child knows that he's causing trouble for us as well.
Han Sanhe smiled and said, "Young Marquis Yun, don't forget that the Blood of the Hero that we've ordered will change on the day of our return. Please supervise us."
Yun Yang replied, "That won't be a problem. Actually, they're already working on it. When you leave, at least the first batch will go with you. I've already given the silver taels from the other day to the merchant, but when you take the first batch of wine away, you'll have to settle the remaining silver taels. This can't be helped. After all, they need cash to circulate as well. Just give me the money when the time comes. "
Han Sanhe guffawed. "Of course. Besides, we're not afraid that Young Marquis Yun will go back on his word."
After a few words, Yun Yang chuckled and turned to leave.
"Before the casino tonight, let's go through the follow-up plan of the four empires again," Han Sanhe said in a low voice.
The old marshals nodded silently.
Perhaps the biggest gain from this trip was the plan of the four empires that these old men had come up with in the past few days.
Other than that, there was nothing else that could be said about it.
"If it's possible, this old man hopes that …"
Han Sanhe's voice was as soft as a mosquito's hum. "That Yutang will be completely crippled in our hands … or even annihilated. So, old brothers, please keep your spirits up. Don't make any mistakes on your side. "
"Of course."
"Of course!"
"Our hearts are all in the same boat!"
…
Yun Yang had only stayed for a short while when he returned home before he turned into a light breeze in his room and sped towards the Residence of Nine Supremes.
He had to go, he could not be late.
Too many experts had died in there last night. More importantly, six high-level mystical beasts had perished as well. If Yun Yang had been late, the mystical cores of the six mystical beasts would have been dissolved into pure energy by the Nine Heavens Demesne.
The six mystical beasts, especially the six mystical cores, were a huge fortune to Yun Yang who was currently broke. He could not afford to miss it!
How could he allow them to be melted away?
The night was dark, the boundless darkness shrouding the heaven and earth. Only the Residence of Nine Supremes was still shrouded in clouds and mist. The only similarity was that one could not even see one's own fingers.
A gust of wind blew quietly.
Yun Yang had entered the Residence of Nine Supremes soundlessly.
He had done so without anyone noticing.
Eighteen to nineteen corpses were scattered on the ground made of an unknown material. Each of them had died in the same manner; they were all charred black, even their bones had been charred.
Yun Yang heaved a soft sigh.
He had thought that these people would have brought something good with them when they came in, perhaps he could earn an extra fortune from the dead. It was no wonder that Yun Yang was so greedy for money that he would not even let the dead go. He was just too poor right now, so poor that his pockets were even cleaner than his face!
It was a pity that the experts from various countries who had perished in the Residence of Nine Supremes had some banknotes on them, but they had all turned to dust by now.
Despite his disappointment, Yun Yang's trip had not been in vain. There were still some sparkling items on the ground that were worth the price of his return ticket. Yun Yang picked up the sparkling items one by one. He had actually picked up hundreds of mystical stones and dozens of mystical crystals.
Just this alone was already a considerable harvest.
Besides, there were a few sabers and swords that he could have gotten his hands on as well. They were the personal weapons of these martial artists and they were definitely not ordinary weapons that could survive the Nine Heavens Demesne's Thunder Calamity Wind. However, Yun Yang did not touch them. Firstly, he already had the Divine Edge, so other weapons were no longer of interest to him. Secondly, these people had died in the Residence of Nine Supremes. If he sold these personal weapons and traded them, it would inevitably reveal something and leave traces.
The haul on the other side, however, made Yun Yang overjoyed.
The haul was the focus of Yun Yang's trip – the six mystical beasts.
Yun Yang examined them and found that the highest level of the six mystical beasts was eighth level intermediate while the other three were eighth level beginner-level. Even the two weakest ones were seventh level pinnacle. Of course, what surprised him the most was that the corpses of these mystical beasts were all well-preserved.
It was not difficult to imagine that the ability of mystical beasts to withstand the natural forces of heaven and earth was much stronger than that of a human being.
The clouds of the Residence of Nine Supremes had already surrounded them, absorbing the spiritual Qi in the air and absorbing it into the clouds. It was fortunate that Yun Yang had come earlier. If he had come any later, the remains of the two seventh-level pinnacle mystical beasts might not have been able to resist the invasion of the clouds.
Yun Yang, who was familiar with the power of the Nine Heavens Demesne, dared not delay. He flashed the Divine Edge with a swoosh and was about to collect the mystical cores with a single slash. However, before Yun Yang could move, he stopped abruptly.
This was because the moment the Blade of Heaven's Will appeared, the surrounding clouds suddenly parted in all directions with a glint of the blade's light.
