Hearing Ling Chengfeng's words, Xiao Fan immediately looked at Ling Chengfeng!
"Our Drystone City's hundreds of descendants of the Magic Kingdom actually had a peak two thousand years ago!" Ling Chengfeng said with a bitter smile, "Their numbers reached several thousand and they were one of the strongest sects in Drystone City!"
"However, one of our ancestors cooperated with a large clan in the Dark Domain to explore a dangerous place together. Our two sides had cooperated several times before and our relationship was very harmonious. There was a certain level of trust!"
"In the end, it was in this dangerous place that we were ruthlessly cheated by that large clan. In the end, nearly half of the descendants of the Magic Kingdom were unable to walk out of the dangerous place and all of them died there!"
"Since then, the number of descendants of the Magic Kingdom in Drystone City began to decrease and has never risen again until now!"
Xiao Fan couldn't say much about Ling Chengfeng's words and could only shake his head. "Those who are not of our race are bound to have different intentions. There are some people who can't be completely trusted!"
Ling Chengfeng nodded with a bitter smile.
"Zi Ruyan!"
As soon as Zi Ruyan arrived, she replaced North Fox Yan and became the new focus of attention. Everyone was looking at her, and many of them quickly calmed down after a brief moment of shock. Then, their expressions changed slightly, and their breathing quickened, and their eyes burned with passion.
Xiao Fan and the rest knew the reason behind Zi Ruyan's resurrection, but the others didn't. However, even if they didn't know, everyone knew that Zi Ruyan's fiance, Yan Juekong, was already dead and the entire Yan people had perished.
Moreover, it was said that Zi Ruyan and Yan Juekong's engagement ceremony wasn't completed. It was just the beginning when it was interrupted by Xiao Fan. Therefore, strictly speaking, Zi Ruyan and the dead Yan Juekong weren't related at all. Just like North Fox Yan, she was also single.
Facing the single Zi Ruyan, which man wouldn't have some thoughts in his mind?
"If I can marry both North Fox Yan and Zi Ruyan at the same time, even if I only have one day left in my life, I'm willing!" A bold man said in a low voice in the crowd, expressing the thoughts of many people. His voice was filled with emotion.
"My Maple Pavilion is truly honored by the Violet Princess's presence!" The middle-aged man in embroidered clothes and the other higher-ups of Maple Pavilion immediately stepped forward and greeted Zi Ruyan and the other members of the Pegasus Clan with the most solemn etiquette of Maple Pavilion.
Zi Ruyan and the other members of the Heavenly Horse Clan responded to the grand welcome of the Maple Pavilion's higher-ups. However, their expressions were indifferent. After which, they stood with their hands by their sides and waited for the Treasure Gambling Conference to begin.
After they finished exchanging pleasantries, the middle aged man from Maple Pavilion bid his farewells and left as well. After that, he swiftly returned to Maple Pavilion to prepare for the Treasure Gambling Auction.
Just a few breaths after the middle-aged man in embroidered clothes returned to Maple Tower, the outside of Maple Tower suddenly fell silent without any warning. The air suddenly became stagnant.
An inexplicable atmosphere began to spread between North Fox Yan and Zi Ruyan. After that, it spread throughout the entire venue, causing everyone to look at the two of them. No one made the slightest sound.
Among the four great beauties of the younger generation of the Dark Domain, Goddess Ling Luo had always been elusive. No one could catch up to her. Kōjirō was just a vase. Many people simply refused to acknowledge Kōjirō's status.
The remaining two, North Fox Yan and Zi Ruyan, both had many supporters. In order to compete for the second position, the two of them had been at odds for a long time. Neither of them was willing to admit that they were inferior to the other!
Usually, the two of them rarely met. However, today, the two of them coincidentally met in Thousand Bone City. Therefore, the two of them were indifferent to each other. They treated each other like strangers and didn't even bother to look at each other.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
After a dozen breaths of silence, the Holy Presbyter suddenly coughed twice and broke the silence and indifference in the air.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the venue returned to normal. It was no longer filled with the deep silence and stillness that made it difficult for people to breathe.
The moment everything returned to normal, North Fox Yan and Zi Ruyan glanced at each other with indifferent gazes. Then, they quickly withdrew their gazes and looked into the distance once more.
"Everyone, the Treasure Gambling Conference …!"
The middle-aged man in embroidered clothes from Maple Pavilion walked out again. With a faint smile on his face, he spoke to everyone and was about to announce the start of the Treasure Gambling Conference.
However, at this moment!
Several blood-red figures descended from the sky and interrupted the middle-aged man in embroidered clothes.
"People from the Blood Clan!"
Seeing the blood-red figures descending, everyone's expression suddenly changed. Someone couldn't help but exclaim in shock.
The Holy Presbyter and the other monstrous geniuses from the Heaven Era Hall, North Fox Yan, Ba Dong, and Mo Zhan, Zi Ruyan, and the other members of the Pegasus Clan all looked serious. A hint of fear flashed across their eyes.
The entire venue instantly became so silent that one could hear a pin drop.
The Blood Clan!
The strongest clan in the Dark Territory!
Their strength made it impossible for any of the forces in the Dark Territory to treat them calmly. They had to be extremely serious!
However, for some reason, in the past ten years, all of the Blood Clan members had rarely left the Dark Realm's westernmost part of the Dark Realm, and many places in the Dark Realm had not seen any Blood Clan members for the past ten years.
Today, because of the first battle in the Dark Territory, some Blood Clan members finally walked out of the Blood Clan's territory and appeared in front of everyone in the Thousand Bones City.
"Greetings, Blood Clan Lords!"
These Blood Clan members weren't young geniuses. Instead, they were middle-aged Blood Clan members who were already dozens of years old. Every one of them had an aura of extreme yin, which made people's hearts tremble. It was clear that they were cultivators of Yin and Yang Stage Two and weren't ordinary Blood Clan members.
Seeing these middle-aged Blood Clan members, the middle-aged man in embroidered clothes from Maple Pavilion immediately stepped forward. His expression was no longer as polite as when he treated North Fox Yan, Holy Presbyter, and Zi Ruyan. Instead, he was extremely respectful.
"Mm!"
In response to the middle-aged man in embroidered clothes' respectful greetings, the middle-aged Blood Clan members only gave a faint 'mm' as a response. After that, they didn't look at everyone present and stood there with their hands behind their backs, waiting for the Treasure Gambling Conference to begin.
After bowing to the middle-aged Blood Clan members again, a smile appeared on the middle-aged man's face once more. After that, he raised his hand and lightly rang a large bell at the side of Maple Pavilion.
When the bell rang, the Treasure Gambling Conference had officially begun!
"Everyone, the rules of my Maple Pavilion's Treasure Gambling Conference this year are the same as the previous years. There are no changes!" The middle-aged man in embroidered clothes spoke to everyone in a clear voice. "However, compared to the previous years, my Maple Pavilion would only take out one true treasure. In this Treasure Gambling Conference, my Maple Pavilion would take out a total of three true treasures!"
"Three true treasures!" In an instant, the crowd in the surroundings was in an uproar when they heard the middle-aged man, and the sounds of discussion arose once more. Even the Holy Presbyter, North Fox Yan, Ba Dong, Mo Zhan, Zi Ruyan, and the other middle-aged Blood Clan members were slightly moved.
Maple Pavilion still possessed the strength. Even though they would only take out one true treasure every year during the Treasure Gambling Conference, the true treasures that Maple Pavilion took out every year were absolutely genuine, and they were so precious that even the five strongest clans and four great academies were moved by them.
However, they'd taken out three true treasures this time, and it could absolutely be considered as extravagant.
"As for the rules of the Treasure Gambling Conference, I won't go into detail!" The middle-aged man in embroidered clothes continued speaking with a smile on his face. "The three true treasures will be chosen in three batches. There will be a total of 10,000 treasures in each batch, and everyone can choose at most 100 treasures!"
"Moreover, for every treasure chosen, you'll either give Maple Pavilion 10 Six Suns Flowers or a treasure of equivalent value to 10 Six Suns Flowers. It's not limited to cultivation techniques, weapons, medicinal herbs, formations, and so on and so forth!"
"You'll have to give Maple Pavilion 10 Six Suns Flowers or a treasure of equivalent value to 10 Six Suns Flowers for just one treasure?" As soon as the middle-aged man in embroidered clothes finished speaking, those who were participating in Maple Pavilion's Treasure Gambling Conference for the first time were shocked. They couldn't hide their astonishment and cried out in alarm.
The Six Suns Flower was a special flower in the Dark Domain. It would produce nectar every year, and this nectar was extremely useful for one's cultivation.
If consumed in large quantities over a long period of time, it could even change one's aptitude. It could turn an extremely stupid and mediocre person into a cultivation genius that was rarely seen in a hundred years!
Therefore, the value of the Six Suns Flower was obvious. Every major force would do their best to cultivate the Six Suns Flower for their young disciples to use.
Unfortunately, it was extremely difficult to cultivate the Six Suns Flower. If one wasn't careful, the Six Suns Flower would wither and die. There was no way to save it.
Moreover, it required a large amount of resources to cultivate the Six Suns Flower. Those who could cultivate the Six Suns Flower were the major clans with deep foundations. Ordinary clans couldn't cultivate the Six Suns Flower at all. If they wanted the Six Suns Flower, they could only buy it at a premium price.
Today, Maple Pavilion's Treasure Gambling Conference was basically putting 9,999 fake treasures and a real treasure together. The probability of finding the real treasure was one in ten thousand. Whoever found the real treasure depended on one's eyesight and luck.
Even though exchanging ten Six Suns Flowers for a real treasure was a huge loss for the Maple Pavilion, those nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine worthless fake treasures could be exchanged for ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine Six Suns Flowers. With a total of one hundred thousand Six Suns Flowers, it would definitely be enough to drain the Six Suns Flowers that the few large clans had been accumulating for hundreds, or even thousands of years.
The total value of 100,000 Six Suns Flowers was already immeasurable. The real treasure that Maple Pavilion took out naturally wouldn't exceed this total value.
And the probability of one in ten thousand meant that before finding the real treasure, there would be a lot of fake treasures. It was possible that all the fake treasures would be bought before the real treasure would appear. In the end, Maple Pavilion would almost certainly make a profit.
Of course, there was also the possibility that someone could find the real treasure in an instant. Then, the Treasure Gambling Conference would end immediately and Maple Pavilion would lose a lot!
It wasn't like this had never happened before!
But Maple Pavilion had to admit it. After all, the Treasure Gambling Conference was all about excitement and excitement. Who would win and who would lose? It was all a game. Maple Pavilion wouldn't always win, and those who participated in the Treasure Gambling Conference wouldn't always lose.
At the same time, it was also because of this that Maple Pavilion's Treasure Gambling Conference attracted so many people. It had become a grand event that attracted the five strongest clans and the four great academies. Because everyone had a wishful thinking, thinking that they could hit the jackpot with one strike and become the lucky one.
