'It seems like I have no choice but to show myself this time.'
Duan Lingtian sighed inwardly. He was wearing a black Celestial Master's Robe with the word 'Kun' written on it.
When Tian Ji Yu, the County Governor of Nine Specters County, was trying to buy time for him, Duan Ling Tian had already made a decision in a flash of lightning.
If Tian Ji Yu managed to buy time for him, he would show himself and win the Martial Competition of the 16 Counties.
If he failed, he would not show himself and think of a way to compensate Tian Ji Yu and Zheng Qiu.
He had promised Tian Ji Yu and Zheng Qiu that he would do his best to win the Martial Competition of the 16 Counties and obtain the Mediocre Celestial Pill, the Great Overarching Pill, for them.
Now that Tian Ji Yu had bought time for him, Duan Lingtian thought to himself, 'It's all thanks to Tian Ji Yu.
It's all because of fate! '
"What do you think? Do you dare to accept this' bet 'that I've made?! "
At the same time, an irritating voice rang in Duan Lingtian's ears. It was Zhou An, the Vice Sect Leader of the Poison King Sect, who felt that he could continue to bet with the primitive Celestial Alchemist of the Flying Dragon Sect after seeing that the County Governor of Nine Specters County had bought time for Duan Lingtian.
If the County Governor of Nine Specters County did not buy time for Duan Lingtian and announced the end of the Martial Competition of the 16 Counties, then the bet would be meaningless.
"Shameless!"
Huang Guang Ji, the Vice Sect Leader of the Flying Dragon Sect, glared at Zhou An. Then, he said to Duan Lingtian, "Revered Elder Tian Ling, ignore him … He's a mad dog who will bite whoever he catches. He's trying to use this unfair bet to win back the fifty thousand prominent celestial stones. "
After saying that, Huang Guangji looked at Zhou An again and put on an expression that said, "I've seen through you long ago."
"Huang Guang Ji, I'll bet with him. What are you talking about?"
Zhou An said angrily with a dark expression on his face.
"Revered Elder Tian Ling is a Revered Elder of the Flying Dragon Sect. Naturally, I won't let him lose."
Huang Guangji said matter-of-factly.
Apart from Duan Lingtian himself, everyone in the VIP seats, including Zhou An and the others from the Poison King Sect, felt that it was impossible for Duan Lingtian to agree to Zhou An's bet.
Duan Ling Tian said calmly in a hoarse voice, "That's right.
"I can agree to this bet of yours, but the stakes have to be changed! Because anyone with a discerning eye can see that the current bet is unfair to me. "
As soon as Duan Lingtian said this, the entire VIP audience fell into a dead silence.
The primitive Celestial Alchemist from the Flying Dragon Sect actually agreed to Zhou An's shameless bet?
He …
Was he crazy?!
At this moment, it was not only the others who looked at Duan Ling Tian as though they were looking at an idiot.
Even the people from the Flying Dragon Sect looked at Duan Ling Tian in confusion. They could not understand why Revered Elder Tian Ling of the Flying Dragon Sect would agree to Zhou An's shameless bet.
Zhou An, the person who had made the bet, was also stunned when he heard Duan Lingtian's words.
He did not expect Duan Lingtian would agree to the bet.
After all, he was the one who had made the bet. Duan Lingtian would definitely win!
"Are you serious? Are you really going to agree to my bet? "
Zhou An looked at Duan Lingtian intently and said, "Let me make this clear … If you agree to my bet, you can only bet that Duan Lingtian will participate in the Martial Competition of the 16 Counties because I've already bet that Duan Lingtian won't participate."
Zhou An was worried that Duan Lingtian would also bet that Duan Lingtian would not participate in the Martial Competition of the 16 Counties. If that was the case, his bet would be meaningless.
After all, it was impossible for him to bet that Duan Lingtian would participate in the Martial Competition of the 16 Counties.
"Hmph!"
Duan Lingtian snorted and said disdainfully, "Do you think everyone is as shameless as you?"
Zhou An was not angry when he heard Duan Lingtian's words. He could already see 50,000 prominent Celestial Stones waving at him. "You said you were going to change the bet. Are you trying to say that I didn't bet enough and that it's unfair to you?"
"As long as you agree to the bet and bet that Duan Lingtian will participate in the Martial Competition of the 16 Counties in the next hour, I can increase the bet to 200,000 prominent Celestial Stones. Is that enough?"
"If you win, I'll give you 200,000 prominent Celestial Stones. If I win, you only have to give me 50,000 prominent Celestial Stones. "
Zhou An said.
"Pfft!"
As soon as Zhou An finished speaking, Duan Lingtian could not help but laugh. "Vice Sect Leader Zhou, you just gave me 50,000 prominent Celestial Stones … Now, I'm afraid you don't even have 100,000 prominent Celestial Stones, let alone 200,000 prominent Celestial Stones, right?"
The Poison King Sect was wealthier than any of the counties under King Qin's Mansion.
However, it would be difficult for a Vice Sect Leader of the Poison King Sect to have more than 100,000 prominent Celestial Stones.
For this reason, Duan Lingtian was certain Zhou An was not a Vice Sect Leader.
It was impossible for Zhou An to have 200,000 prominent Celestial Stones!
"If Vice Sect Leader Zhou wants to gain something without risking anything … Forgive me for not agreeing to your bet!"
Duan Lingtian could not help but laugh mockingly when he reached the end of his sentence.
"It's true that I don't have 200,000 prominent Celestial Stones, but are you worried that the Poison King Sect won't be able to come up with 200,000 prominent Celestial Stones?"
Zhou An's face paled when he heard Duan Ling Tian's mocking words. In the end, he had no choice but to bring up the Poison King Sect and said the Poison King Sect would pay the 200,000 prominent Celestial Stones.
"Can you represent the Poison King Sect?"
Duan Lingtian continued to mock Zhou An.
"What a joke!"
Zhou An said in a deep voice, "I'm the Vice Sect Leader of the Poison King Sect, and I'm the younger brother of the Sect Leader. Do you think I can represent the Poison King Sect?"
"It seems like I've underestimated you."
Duan Lingtian said indifferently as he narrowed his eyes.
"Cut the crap!"
Zhou An said coldly, "If you want to accept the bet, then accept it … If you don't, then admit defeat!"
"Of course, I'll accept the bet …"
Duan Lingtian looked at Zhou An deeply before he said slowly, "However, don't you think you're taking advantage of me by betting 200,000 prominent Celestial Stones?"
"Why don't I bet 200,000 prominent Celestial Stones that Duan Lingtian won't participate in the Martial Competition of the 16 Counties, and you bet 50,000 prominent Celestial Stones that Duan Lingtian will participate in the Martial Competition of the 16 Counties? How about we swap bets? "
Duan Lingtian continued to say.
"How many prominent Celestial Stones do you think I should bet?"
Naturally, Zhou An would not agree to Duan Lingtian's request. He was certain that Duan Lingtian, the trump card of Nine Specters County, would not participate in the Martial Competition of the 16 Counties in the next hour.
If Duan Lingtian really wanted to participate in the Martial Competition, he would have arrived a long time ago.
"500,000 prominent Celestial Stones."
Duan Lingtian said indifferently.
"Alright! 500,000 prominent Celestial Stones it is! "
Zhou An agreed without hesitation. He was confident that he would win. Even if he had to bet 500,000 prominent Celestial Stones on Duan Lingtian's 50,000 prominent Celestial Stones, he would still be willing to bet.
At this moment, Zhou An was still unaware of the fact that Duan Lingtian was hiding in the shadows.
The black-robed man in front of him was setting him up step by step.
He did not realize that:
He was slowly falling into Duan Lingtian's trap.
"Also, I have another condition."
Duan Lingtian spoke again.
"Speak!"
Zhou An said impatiently with a frown.
"Y-you have to invite the Third Prince of King Qin's Mansion or King Qin to be the notary of our bet. After all, with your shamelessness, I'm worried you'll renege on your bet!"
Duan Lingtian stated his condition.
"You …"
Zhou An was infuriated when he heard Duan Lingtian calling him shameless and suspecting him of reneging on his bet.
"I can be the notary of your bet."
At this moment, the Third Prince of King Qin's Mansion stepped out from behind the curtain and looked at Duan Lingtian meaningfully.
He could not figure it out.
Why would the Flying Dragon Sect's primitive Celestial Alchemist agree to Zhou An's shameless bet?
Could the Third Prince not see that Zhou An would definitely win?
However, even if he could not figure it out, he was still willing to be the notary of the bet. After all, he wanted to see how the primitive Celestial Alchemist of the Flying Dragon Sect would react after losing the bet.
"Thank you, Third Prince."
After thanking the Third Prince of King Qin's Mansion, Duan Lingtian handed the Spatial Ring that contained 50,000 prominent Celestial Stones to the Third Prince.
"The number is correct."
After confirming the number of Celestial Stones in the Spatial Ring, the Third Prince looked at Zhou An and said indifferently, "If you lose, King Qin's Mansion will first collect the 500,000 prominent Celestial Stones from the Poison King Sect. After that, we'll transfer the Celestial Stones to Revered Elder Tian Ling from the Flying Dragon Sect.
If I lose, the Poison King Sect will immediately send the 500,000 prominent Celestial Stones to King Qin's Mansion when I return. "
Zhou An said nonchalantly.
At this moment, he did not think he would lose at all.
"That's good."
The Third Prince nodded and did not say anything else.
He was not worried the Poison King Sect would renege on their bet.
"Thank you for the 500,000 prominent Celestial Stones."
When the Third Prince nodded, the people in the VIP seats looked at Duan Lingtian as though they were looking at an idiot. At this moment, Duan Lingtian suddenly pulled the robe off his head, revealing his handsome face. He grinned at Zhou An.
At this moment, his voice was no longer as hoarse as before.
He had finally revealed his true appearance!
"Hm?"
When Duan Ling Tian pulled down the robe that covered his head and revealed his true appearance, the group of people in the VIP spectator seats were greatly shocked.
Initially, when they heard the voice of the primitive Celestial Alchemist from the Flying Dragon Sect, they thought he was an old man.
But he didn't expect that the voice was fake.
