"Alright! I'll accept your bet. "
The middle-aged man who said he wanted to be the banker looked at the Nangong brothers greedily as he said with a burning gaze.
In his opinion, the two fellows before him were giving him Origin Stones.
"You can accept our bet, but you must prove that you have the capital to lose … 300 supreme-grade Origin Stones and five million high-grade Origin Stones."
Nangong Yi said nonchalantly.
"Hurmph! I won't lose! "
The middle-aged man said.
"So … You're trying to get something for nothing? Do you think there's such a good deal in this world? "
Nangong Yi mocked.
"It seems like you have no intention of betting at all."
The middle-aged man sneered.
Naturally, he would not be able to take out 300 supreme-grade Origin Stones and five million high-grade Origin Stones in one go.
In fact, he was certain that …
Among the people present, including the three old men who were suspected to be Ling Xuan Peak Emperor Wu's disciples, no one would be able to take out so many Origin Stones in one go.
"It seems like they have no intention of betting at all … They're certain that the other party doesn't have that many Origin Stones as a bet."
"To think that I thought they were really confident in their companion. So, this is what's going on."
…
Many people whispered among themselves.
"Have no intention of betting at all?"
Nangong Yi smiled. He smiled so much that his eyes narrowed unconsciously. "How about this? Both of us will still bet … If we lose, you'll take away all of our Origin Stones.
If you lose, apart from leaving behind your Spatial Ring, we'll also take your life! "
When Nangong Yi reached the end of his sentence, the corners of his mouth curled up into an evil grin.
Whoosh!
The moment Nangong Yi's words left his mouth, everyone, apart from Duan Lingtian and Nangong Chen, including the three old men who were suspected to be Ling Xuan Peak Emperor Wu's disciples, was shocked.
That included the middle-aged man who said he wanted to be the banker.
"You want me to bet my life with you?"
The middle-aged man asked in a deep voice as his eyes flashed.
"Do you dare?"
Nangong Yi asked nonchalantly.
For a moment, the two were at each other's throats.
The gazes of the majority of the people present also fell upon the two of them.
"Why wouldn't I dare?"
Soon, the middle-aged man, whose expression changed, gritted his teeth and agreed bluntly.
At the same time, he looked at the three old men who were suspected to be the disciples of Ling Xuan Peak's Emperor Wu. "My three lords, please bear witness to the bet between me and these two."
The old man who was the leader of the three nodded. "Sure."
The leading old man looked at the Nangong brothers and said unhurriedly, "If the two of you lose and can't take out that many Primordial Stones … I will destroy your dantians and expel you from Ling Xuan Peak!"
Then, he looked at the middle-aged man. "If you lose, your life will no longer belong to you."
"My lord."
At this moment, the middle-aged man looked at the leading old man and asked respectfully, "I'd like to ask, if someone insists on participating in the selection of Emperor Wu's disciples and followers six months later, but he doesn't dare to participate by then … What will happen to him?"
"Anyone who decides to participate in the selection of Emperor Wu's disciples and followers six months later will have no way out … Nobody can regret it."
"Even if you regret it, you must at least participate in the selection of Emperor Wu's disciples and followers six months later … Otherwise, you'll be seen as toying with Ling Xuan Peak. There's only one outcome for toying with Ling Xuan Peak — death! "
When the leading old man reached the end of his sentence, his tone became heavier. At the same time, he intentionally glanced at Duan Lingtian who was standing quietly at the side as a warning to Duan Lingtian.
A First Level Void Interpretation martial artist actually dared to come to Ling Xuan Peak to participate in the selection of Emperor Wu's disciples and followers.
In his opinion, this person did not take Ling Xuan Peak seriously at all!
As Ling Xuan Peak's Emperor Wu's disciple, he felt that Ling Xuan Peak, which he regarded as a sacred place, was being desecrated. He was filled with rage.
"Haha … Alright! I'll bet with them. "
Upon hearing the old man's words, the middle-aged man laughed loudly and agreed readily.
In his eyes, greed was even stronger. It was as though he could already see 30 supreme-grade Origin Stones and 500,000 high-grade Origin Stones entering his pocket.
"What's there to be proud of? Do you really think you've won? "
Nangong Yi smirked and looked at the leading old man. "We'll bet with him as well."
The old man nodded. At the same time, he looked at Duan Lingtian who was standing at the side and said, "Do you insist on participating in the selection of Emperor Wu's disciples and followers that Ling Xuan Peak will hold six months later?"
"If you insist on participating, there'll be no turning back. At the very least, you'll have to participate in the selection of Emperor Wu's disciples and followers six months later … Or a Death Test against a Martial Monarch powerhouse, or a battle with a Martial Monarch powerhouse."
The leading old man said slowly.
In his opinion.
As long as this purple-clad young man did not want to die, he would definitely not insist on participating in the selection of Emperor Wu's disciples and followers six months later.
A martial artist at the First Level Void Interpretation would definitely die if he participated in the selection of Emperor Wu's disciples and followers.
When the old man asked Duan Lingtian, everyone's eyes also landed on Duan Lingtian.
Apart from Nangong and his brother, everyone else felt that Duan Lingtian would definitely not insist on participating in the selection of Emperor Wu's disciples and followers six months later.
"I won! I won! "
The middle-aged man's eyes lit up when he saw Duan Lingtian's mouth moving slightly and was about to speak.
An incomparably brilliant smile appeared on his face.
However, the smile on his face quickly froze when Duan Lingtian spoke.
"I'll participate."
Duan Lingtian looked at the leading old man and said nonchalantly.
Boom!
Duan Lingtian's words were like a bolt from the blue to most of the people present on the scene.
Especially the middle-aged man. Apart from the smile on his face that had completely froze, his eyes were filled with fear. It was fear of facing death.
"Madman! Madman! "
The middle-aged man looked at Duan Lingtian and cursed. Then, he moved his body and wanted to leave.
He did not want to lose his life.
However, was this a place where he could leave just because he wanted to?
The middle-aged man had just moved when an old figure appeared in front of him out of thin air and blocked his path.
It was one of the two old men other than the leading old man.
"Good, very good."
After the leading old man recovered from his shock, his face darkened slightly as he stared coldly at Duan Lingtian. "In the next six months, I'll monitor your every move … Before you participate in at least one round of the selection of Emperor Wu's disciples and followers, don't even think about leaving Ling Xuan Peak!"
"Then, I'll have to trouble you."
Duan Lingtian shrugged and said nonchalantly.
Duan Lingtian's nonchalance stunned the people who regained their senses one after another.
"This guy doesn't seem to be afraid of death at all."
"Not only is he not afraid of death, but he seems to be very confident as well … Could it be that he's confident that he'll be able to survive one round of the selection of Emperor Wu's disciples and followers?"
"How's that possible? Let alone the fact that he's only a First Level Void Interpretation martial artist, even if he's a First Level Void Transformation martial artist or even a Ninth Level Void Transformation martial artist, he still won't be able to escape death in the Selection of the Martial Emperor's disciples and followers held by Ling Xuan Peak! "
"If that's the case, this guy is intentionally seeking death?"
"Based on the current situation, that should be the case."
…
Everyone present on the scene felt that Duan Lingtian was intentionally seeking death.
After all, in their eyes, Duan Lingtian was only a First Level Void Interpretation martial artist.
According to common sense …
No matter how high a First Level Void Interpretation martial artist's comprehension was, he would only be able to comprehend some Void Interpretation Concept.
Such an existence was no different from an ant in their eyes.
"I hope you'll still be as calm as you are now six months later … I'll wait and see."
The old man in the lead said in a deep voice.
After he finished speaking, he no longer paid any attention to Duan Lingtian. With a flash of his body, he arrived in front of the middle-aged man who was betting with the Nangong brothers. His eyes were as cold as ice and did not contain any emotions.
"Sir! I … I was just joking earlier. I won't bet anymore! I won't bet anymore! "
The middle-aged man looked at the old man in the lead who was close to him and said in a panic.
At this moment, his eyes were filled with fear. It was fear that came from the bottom of his heart and soul.
Others might not be afraid of death, but it did not mean he was not afraid of death.
If he knew that the purple-clad young man was not afraid of death, he would not have accepted the bet with the Nangong brothers.
Boom!
The old man in the lead ignored the middle-aged man's begging. With a raise of his hand, he killed the middle-aged man.
As for the Spatial Ring and Profundity Fragments left behind by the middle-aged man, with a shake of his hand, they were pulled by an invisible force to the Nangong brothers.
The scene before their eyes caused everyone to sigh.
This outcome was completely out of their expectations.
"Thank you, Sir."
After Nangong Yi put away the Spatial Ring and Profundity Fragments, he smiled and thanked the old man in the lead.
The old man nodded his head nonchalantly.
Subsequently, he looked around. His gaze landed on a few martial artists above the Seventh Level Martial Monarch Stage, including Nangong Chen. "The few of you, follow him to where you'll be staying for the next six months."
When he reached the end of his sentence, he looked at one of the two old men next to him.
At this moment, the old man brought Nangong Chen and the others away.
"All of you, follow him."
Subsequently, the old man in the lead looked at Nangong Yi and the others, as well as the other old man.
The group of people, including Nangong Yi, were all above the Fourth Level Martial Monarch Stage and below the Seventh Level Martial Monarch Stage.
"Duan Lingtian, I'll make a move first."
Before Nangong Yi and the group of people left with the old man, he greeted Duan Lingtian with a smile. It seemed like he was not worried about Duan Lingtian's situation at all.
When the old man in the lead saw this, there was a hint of doubt in the depth of his eyes.
Was this person not worried about his companion at all?
Was he confident in his companion?
Or did he not care about his companion's life or death?
At this moment, the old man's gaze instinctively landed on Duan Lingtian. His heart skipped a beat.
He was more inclined to the latter.
'It'd be strange if a First Level Void Interpretation martial artist could stir up a storm in Ling Xuan Peak.'
He thought to himself.
"All of you, follow me."
