The sun had just risen in the Zhou State's Martial Saint General's Manor.
"You said that Tian Quezi ran away before the battle!" Yun Bahe had heard this shocking news early in the morning.
For today's competition, Yun Bahe had even brought out the armor he used on the battlefield back then. He polished it until it shone brightly in preparation for the big battle with Tian Quezi, blinding that little thief's dog eyes.
Who knew that just as Yun Bahe was about to step out of the Martial Saint General's Manor and valiantly prepare for the competition, a piece of news that shocked the entire Yujing City spread.
The entire Yujing City was shaken.
Tian Quezi had run away before the battle.
No, to be more precise, Tian Quezi had gone missing.
He had indeed gone missing. The Dark Prince's men had searched the entire Later Qin embassy. They were just short of digging three feet into the ground, but they still couldn't find Tian Quezi.
The dignified Later Qin Martial Saint had actually disappeared the night before the battle.
There were no letters, no sudden illness, and no news. Tian Quezi had disappeared without a word.
The only explanation was that he was worried that he couldn't beat Yun Bahe, so he ran away before the battle.
Otherwise, how could such an adult, and a Martial Saint at that, disappear just like that?
Yun Bahe first cursed a few times, but then he laughed.
Now that Tian Quezi had disappeared, all the problems were no longer a problem.
Running away before the battle was the biggest joke in the world. The Dark Prince of Later Qin wouldn't have the face to ask for a quarter of the purple gold mine. Needless to say, the Later Qin and Tang Yuan alliance could all go to hell!
It was said that after the Later Qin soldiers at the border received this news, their morale plummeted. All of them cursed Tian Quezi's father and mother, cursing all eighteen generations of his ancestors. Tian Quezi's family in Later Qin was also unable to recover from this setback.
Compared to Later Qin, the Tang Yuan Kingdom's reaction was also very subtle.
Tang Yuan's second prince, Li Shao, also received this bizarre news in the shortest time possible.
Li Shao was good at scheming. In Zhou State, he had missed out on the purple gold mine and had always held a grudge in his heart.
The other party was also powerful, snatching half of his Purple Gold mine, but no matter how hard he searched, he could not find any clues.
Li Shao could only take revenge on Zhou State.
The alliance between Later Qin and Tang Yuan had been secretly ordered by Li Shao, and he'd been the one to pass the bottle of amniotic fluid to Xuanwu Ji.
The entire plan was flawless. Li Shao had even made meticulous preparations. As soon as Yun Bahe was defeated, he would immediately invade Zhou State.
Who knew that at this critical juncture, Tian Que Zi actually disappeared.
If he was alive, he wanted to see him. If he was dead, he wanted to see his corpse.
"Later Qin, what did they do?" Li Shao was still unwilling to retreat.
"The Hidden Crown Prince has already ordered the army to retreat a hundred li. Everything will be done to find Martial Saint Tian Que 'zi," the spy reported.
"We will also bide our time for now." Li Shao gave the order and waited for news from Jade Capital.
No one was happier than the Emperor of Zhou State when Tian Quezi went missing.
The Emperor of Zhou State was overjoyed and secretly delighted. This was undoubtedly the best result.
Later Qin had lost a lot of face. It was said that the Hidden Crown Prince of Later Qin killed two of Tian Que Zi's attendants in a fit of anger.
However, what everyone didn't know was that there was another power that had obtained even greater benefits. That power was truly silent and had made a fortune. That was the Wanlong Gambling House.
In the previous competition between Tian Que Zi and Yun Bahe, because both of them were Martial Saints, roughly half of the people bet on each side.
Who knew that after Tian Que Zi made such a scene, no one won or lost, and all the bets went to the Wandong Gambling House. The gamblers cursed at the Wandong Gambling House, but they could only swallow their anger.
When Yun Sheng received the news, she had just left the Magic Tower. She looked calm and collected, but in her heart, she couldn't wait to find Ye Beiming and Tycoon Jin, who she hadn't seen for a few days.
What caught Yun Sheng's attention was that Tycoon Jin had changed a lot.
Looking at its limbs carefully, it was very different from when Yun Sheng had just refined it. Every inch of its body was tougher and more powerful.
The originally dazzling purple-gold color had also turned red. That was because it was stained with blood.
In just one day and night, Tycoon Jin, who was originally a middle-level life artifact, had reached the peak of the middle-level. It could break through to the high-level at any time, and could display more than 50% of the power of the battle skills and magic that it imitated.
The current Tycoon Jin could be called a real war artifact.
Yun Sheng couldn't help but feel happy when she saw this. Night Fox was quite reliable. Tian Que Zi really "disappeared", but she was soon depressed again.
"I made a mistake. I should have gone to the Wandong Gambling House to bet on a draw before the competition. That way, I would have made a fortune. The Wandong Gambling House is really lucky. The owner of the gambling house has really made a fortune this time. Oh well, I've also secretly scooped up some purple gold from Night Fox. It can be considered a consolation prize, "Yun Sheng thought to herself. With Tian Quozi's disappearance, all of the gambling money went to the Wandong Gambling House. A rough calculation showed that the Wandong Gambling House had earned tens of millions of gold coins.
If Yun Sheng knew that the person behind Wandong Gambling House was Ye Beiming, she would probably vomit three liters of blood.
Reality proved that a fox was a fox. It wouldn't lose out in anything.
In the next few days, the entire Jade Capital was discussing Tian Que Zi's disappearance. Yun Sheng distributed a portion of the purple-gold sacred weapons that she had refined to the Hunting Corps.
At a certain place in Wandong Gambling House, Yun Sheng, Qi and the others had come to participate in the stone gambling banquet.
Long Huo and the other stewards of Wandong Gambling House stood to one side.
The four stewards of Wandong Gambling House were Long Huo, Long Shui, Long Feng, and Long Tu. The four of them were three men and one woman. Their appearances and ages were all different. They rarely appeared at Wandong Gambling House at the same time, but today, they were all gathered together.
Ye Beiming sat alone.
Long Huo was the oldest of the four. He was more than ten years older than Ye Beiming, but in front of him, the four of them were all respectful and reverent.
Ye Beiming was a natural-born king. This was something that the four of them already understood when he left the Cold Palace and appeared in front of them a few years ago.
There was a person standing beside him.
His back was somewhat familiar, but his entire body was like the people of Bloody Hand Tycoon. He was tightly wrapped in a set of fish scale armor, and there wasn't a single gap from head to toe.
No one would have expected that the former Martial Saint of Later Qin would become like this overnight, a "puppet" without any thoughts of his own.
His empty eyes and silent appearance showed that he had long forgotten the fact that he was once Tian Quezi.
"Master, the gambling house has made a lot of profit this time. The total income is 15.33 million gold coins." Long Huo acted as if he didn't see the extra person at all.
He had followed Ye Beiming for so long and understood many things. He didn't ask what he shouldn't.
"Allocate five million gold coins to recruit people and expand the Netherworld Guard." Ye Beiming flipped through the account book and took out a storage ring.
Long Huo took the storage ring and looked at the things inside. He couldn't help but be shocked.
In a place like Wandong Gambling House, there were all kinds of people. Long Huo's eyesight was also much better than the average person's. When he saw the weapons in the storage ring, he couldn't help but be shocked.
These weren't ordinary weapons. They were all Saint-level weapons fused with part of purple gold.
Where did Master get such a large batch of Violet-Gold weapons?
