The sparkling Quintessence filled half of the hall like a small mountain!
The Quintessence was like a surging ocean, covering the entire place, causing everyone to feel extremely comfortable, as if they were bathing in the Mystical Vein!
The crowd's eyes flickered, and their expressions became twisted. Their cries of astonishment were extremely loud, as if their souls were being traumatized.
This was too shocking. Everyone had bet a few thousand Quintessence, or a few hundred thousand Quintessence. Even the Little Demon and Kong Hanqing had only bet fifty thousand Quintessence and a hundred thousand Quintessence, but this guy had bet ten million Quintessence!
Not to mention that he had bet on the Ninth City, which he had no chance of winning!
Crazy, he must be crazy. This was a complete lunatic and an idiot, who had nowhere to spend the Quintessence. Why didn't he show some kindness and give some to everyone?
"Lei Zheng, go and rest up at once. We can't afford to lose this battle! Su He, follow me to the back hall. "
Wang Fan collected his thoughts and decisively gave out two orders. At that instant, he wore a solemn expression as he stored the Quintessence into his Mustard Seed Bag with a wave of his hand, before heading to the back hall.
"Lei Zheng, this is not a game. You can't afford to lose this battle." Su He wore a stern expression as he reminded the Little Demon, before following Wang Fan.
"Lose? How could I, the Little Demon, lose? "The Little Demon glanced at Kong Hanqing and Su He, before he left the hall with a cold laugh.
After pondering for a while, Kong Hanqing glanced at Chong Feng and said, "Brother Chong, send someone to investigate the background of these two. I want to know everything about them before the battle begins. Oh right, investigate the information of the participants of the Ninth City too."
"Don't worry, I'll ask my master to send the Secret Guards to investigate. The truth will be revealed in three hours' time." Chong Feng nodded his head, before his figure disappeared from the hall with a flicker.
"Betting ten million Quintessence on the Ninth City, there must be something fishy about it." Kong Hanqing mumbled to herself as her eyes flickered.
The hall did not turn quiet due to the disappearance of the Quintessence. Instead, the crowd became even more excited, as they spread the news with the All-Knowing Badge.
In less than sixty breaths' time, the news that someone had bet ten million Quintessence on the Ninth City's victory had spread to every corner of the world. Everyone was talking about it.
The crowd surged towards the Eternal Gambling House. Everyone's purpose in coming here was to see what kind of person this person was. The other reason was to consider who to buy!
If the one million essence was just a fit of pique, then the ten million essence was definitely not a coincidence. No one would be stupid enough to waste ten million essence.
There must be something fishy going on! Everyone vaguely guessed that this matter was not as simple as it seemed.
"No matter what, you must investigate the identities of these two people, and the participant from the Ninth City!" In the back hall of the Eternal Gambling Manor, Wang Fan sat on a chair as he spoke to Su He, who was trembling in fear.
"Yes!" Su He accepted the order, not daring to hesitate in the slightest, and immediately got to work.
He had really miscalculated this time. He never thought that the other party would really take out 10 million Essence Stones to buy the Ninth City. If the Ninth City really won, the Eternal Gambling Den would be doomed eternally. Even the City Lord's Mansion would be implicated.
"I really misjudged you. I never thought that you were the one who was the most important person to pay attention to." Wang Fan's eyes flickered and he was furious. All along, he had focused on Yan Kuan and completely ignored the silent Li Feng. Who would have thought that Li Feng was the real mastermind behind all this?
"Impressive. You even managed to deceive me. I really want to see who exactly you are!"
…
In a secret room in the fighting arena, a man in a purple-gold robe sat on a throne. Below him stood two trembling middle-aged men.
If Wutian was here, he would definitely be surprised to see that the two middle-aged men were Liu Taijun and Xu Yuan from the Ninth City.
The man in the purple-gold robe looked at the two of them and said with a smile, "Liu Taijun, Xu Yuan, tell me about Li Feng and Yan Kuan."
"Shadow Guard Commander, these two people are the protectors of the Ninth City …"
Liu Taijun steadied his emotions and slowly told the Shadow Guard about Li Feng and Yan Kuan's background, experiences, and even their social interactions.
To be honest, Liu Taijun and Xu Yuan had an indescribable feeling towards Li Feng and Yan Kuan.
After they had left the restaurant that day, Liu Taijun had sent people to secretly tail the two of them. When they found out that Li Feng had killed the First City's City Guard Commander in one blow, the two of them did not suspect anything and felt that they might stand a chance in this battle for the Shadow Guard position.
Hence, the two of them had hurried to the First City. However, they had not expected the Shadow Guard Commander to stop them halfway and bring them here. In the end, before they had even warmed their seats, the news of Yan Kuan using one million essence to buy the Ninth City and Li Feng using ten million essence to buy the Ninth City spread like a plague.
The two of them were not fools. Based on the Shadow Guard Commander's words, they had guessed that the Lord had summoned them here because of Li Feng and Yan Kuan. Hence, they did not dare to keep anything from the Shadow Guard Commander.
"After guarding the altar for a hundred years, it had undergone a tremendous change. What had happened during this period of time?"
The Shadow Guard Commander narrowed his eyes and muttered to himself irresolutely before he instructed, "You two will stay by my side from this day onwards until the end of the battle. Furthermore, you are not allowed to tell anyone about Li Feng and Yan Kuan's identities without my permission. Do you understand?"
Liu Taijun and Xu Yuan looked at each other and saw the smile in each other's eyes. They bowed and replied in unison, "We understand. We will keep our mouths shut!"
…
The entire city was in an uproar. As the main characters, Wutian and Yan Kuan had gotten lost in the battle arena. That's right, they had gotten lost.
The battle arena was unimaginably large. Aside from the wide stage in the middle, there were spectator seats all around. Behind the spectator seats were countless other courtyards.
Wutian and Yan Kuan did not know where the registration was. They had been running all over the place and in the end, they did not even know where they had ended up.
"Wutian, this is the way you led the way? I'm really starting to wonder if you're born with a bad sense of direction. "In a pavilion, Cang Zheng grumbled as he looked at Wutian.
"Can you blame me? Divine Sense can only cover a distance of ten thousand feet. It's not like you don't know that. " Wutian was rather speechless. In fact, it was Cang Zheng who had been leading the way the entire time. In the end, all the responsibility was placed on his head. It was really unreasonable.
"Yi! Look, there's someone over there. Let's go and ask. " Suddenly, he saw a woman in green walking slowly on a small path a hundred feet away from the pavilion. Cang Zheng's eyes lit up. He did not care whether Wutian had caught up or not and took the lead to chase after her.
"Hi! Miss. "Before they even got close, Cang Zheng waved his hand and greeted her.
"Are you calling me?"
The woman in green turned around, causing everyone's eyes to light up. Her delicate face was flushed red and was abnormally charming. Her skin was like beautiful jade, glossy and delicate, as if it would break at the snap of a finger. Soft and dark hair casually draped over her jade shoulders, showing off her peerless elegance!
This was a woman who was not inferior to Kong Hanqing. If Kong Hanqing was a gorgeous and moving rose, then this woman was a pure and clean lotus. Each had their own charm.
"That's right!" Cang Zheng took a few steps forward. His eyes flashed with surprise. He cupped his hands and smiled, "This one is Yan Kuan. May I ask your name?"
"You are Yan Kuan?" The woman in green was surprised. She immediately smiled and bowed, "This one is Sikong Yanran. Greetings to Young Master Yan Kuan and Young Master Li Feng."
Cang Zheng was slightly stunned and asked doubtfully, "You know us?"
"Hehe! Everyone in the First City knows about your shocking actions at the Eternal Gambling Manor. How could this one not know about it? Perhaps the other eight cities are abuzz by now! "Sikong Yanran smiled. She was sweet and pure, making it difficult for anyone to have any blasphemous thoughts towards her.
"So that's how it is." Cang Zheng came to a realization and couldn't help but glance at Wutian, as if to say, look! It's all your fault. He then turned and smiled, "Miss Yanran, do you know where the Shadow Guardian registration is?"
"Mm? Are you here to participate in the Shadow Guardian selection as well? "Sikong Yanran stared at the two suspiciously.
"Hehe!" Cang Zheng smiled and shook his head, "Based on our powers, how could we possibly qualify to participate in the Shadow Guardian selection? We're only here to look for someone we know. Could it be that you, Miss Yanran?"
"Not qualified?" Sikong Yanran stared at the two strangely but did not probe any further. She smiled faintly, "Speaking of which, I'm not afraid to be laughed at by the two of you but I've been sent by the Seventh City to participate in the Shadow Guardian selection."
"How could you say that, Miss? We don't even have the right to participate so why would we laugh at you? On the contrary, we should feel ashamed in front of you! " Cang Zheng shook his head and smiled before continuing, "Since Miss Yanran is here to participate in the Shadow Guardian selection, I'm sure you know where the registration is!"
"Mm." Sikong Yanran nodded, "I was just about to go as well. If you don't mind, why don't the two of you travel with me?"
Cang Zheng joined his fists, "I couldn't ask for more."
"Let's go, Li Feng." After greeting each other, Cang Zheng and Sikong Yanran walked together, chatting happily as they walked towards the small path that the two of them had taken before.
"Sikong Yanran …"
Looking at the girl in front of him, Wutian was lost in thought. The two words "Sikong" meant a lot to him. If he hadn't gotten Sikong Lie's ring, he would have died long ago!
Therefore, when he heard her name, he felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
Rubbing the Sikong War Ring on his finger, Wutian slowly followed her. In the past hundred years, the Sikong War Ring had been activated twice. Now, there was only one chance left and he didn't want to use it so easily.
Wutian had always wanted to enter the Tittle Realm, but he couldn't achieve it. He had a very strange feeling that as long as he entered the Tittle Realm, he would definitely be able to fight against a peak stage Puppet!
"He can fight against a few half step Peerless Stage powerhouses at the initial stage of Divine Transformation Realm. Who is he? Why is he so powerful? What is his relationship with me? But how do I cultivate to reach the same height as he did back then? "
