The next day, Demon Main City, a luxurious but cold palace.
Exquisite designs were carved on the white stone. The luxurious furniture showed how extraordinary this place was. A long red carpet led into the depths of the palace.
Li Chenwan sat on the ground beside the table. She stared at the huge window in a daze, at the figure bathed in sunlight.
Sunlight. That was sunlight. That was really the sun shining high up outside!
But Li Chenwan was not happy at all. It was as if she had just had a nightmare. She had ascended, but what welcomed her was a three-eyed devil, especially those few elders. Once their magic eyes were opened, she could not use any magic power at all.
She was the Divine Lord of the Soul Formation stage! But in the eyes of those demon elders, she had no power at all.
Fortunately, she was a painting. Fortunately, she could not give birth. Otherwise, she did not know what kind of miserable fate awaited her. She saw with her own eyes that there were also human women who ascended at the same time being dragged away and sent into cages. What awaited them was definitely not good.
"Ye Kong, so everything you said was true." She suddenly understood Ye Kong's words. She understood everything, but it was already too late! She could not turn back!
But even if she had to do it all over again, she would still come up because she had another goal.
"You changed back? Are you alright? Don't be afraid. I am Lu Junrou. "The woman standing by the window walked over.
This woman was too beautiful. Even she could not compare! And she was so noble. She made people look up to her! Li Chenwan had never seen such a noble woman in her life.
Most importantly, this woman had a pair of light purple eyes.
"Shadow Clan? Senior … "Li Chenwan finally remembered the name she said." You are Lu Junrou! Senior, you said you are Lu Junrou? "
Li Chenwan's eyes widened. She had been to the Shadow Clan's Pipa Realm and had heard of this famous name. In the Shadow Clan, that was a god-like existence.
"What, am I very famous?" Lu Junrou smiled as she helped Li Chenwan up.
"Are you really Lu Junrou?" Li Chenwan still did not dare to believe it. Although she was the idol of tens of thousands of girls in Iron Painting, Lu Junrou was the idol of the entire Shadow Clan and Yunyao. The two weren't even on the same level.
Hearing Lu Junrou's answer, Li Chenwan said in surprise, "Senior Lu, everyone in Yunyao worships you. Every Shadow Clan member has a statue of you in their homes. They all say that your existence protects the Shadow Clan and Yunyao."
Lu Junrou smiled bitterly. "Perhaps." No one knew just how much she had paid for this. But to ensure the safety of the Shadow Clan juniors, she felt it was worth it.
"Senior Lu, I want to ask you about someone. A man from the Shadow Clan. He ascended here a thousand years ago. His name is Liang Jing …"
Lu Junrou waved her hand and said, "I've been here for one hundred and fifty thousand years and I haven't seen a single Shadow Clan member. If you ask me about the people and events from one hundred and fifty thousand years ago, perhaps I can answer you."
"…" Li Chenwan was speechless.
She heard Lu Junrou say, "Moreover, the demon race promised me that they wouldn't allow the Shadow Clan to come here as slaves. So, the person you want to ask about either ascended to the Immortal Realm or didn't ascend at all."
Li Chenwan felt as if she had been struck by lightning. She had risked her life to come here, but this was the answer she received.
"He lied to me!" Li Chenwan spat out these three words in despair.
When her pain was suppressed, she suddenly heard Lu Junrou say, "Alright, now it's my turn to ask you. You mentioned Ye Kong a moment ago. Is that the Ye Kong I know? Did he come to Yunyao? Is he doing well? "
Li Chenwan was shocked. When she saw the strange gentleness in Lu Junrou's eyes, she was so shocked that she didn't know what to say.
Heavens! Was it that mortal Ye Kong who didn't have any cultivation? Just where did he come from! Even the Shadow Clan's goddess was very fond of him! Could it be that he was an immortal?
At this moment, Ye Kong was still free and unfettered. Every morning, he would practice martial arts. In the afternoon, he would go to the fifth floor of the Oral and Stomach Building to drink. In the afternoon, he would go to the Market Well Devil Sect to look at the betting ratio. At night, he would go back to the bridal room to tease Yan Shuhui. It was as if he didn't care about the competition in a few days.
These days, Ye Kong didn't need to take any medicine. His internal and external injuries were all healed. However, he still let Yan Shuhui refine a few more furnaces of pills. He was prepared to be injured during the competition.
Because Huang Shishi knew that she was afraid, she didn't add any more bets behind Ye's name. Since she didn't add anymore, Lin Jiexing and Ceng Tianshun's bets also increased slowly. They were all individual bets, so they only had a few hundred spirit stones.
At the same time, the other contestants also had some spirit stones behind them. After all, everyone wanted to gamble with a small amount.
In addition to Lin Jiexing, Ceng Tianshun, and Ye Kong, there was also a person called Shao Chenzui who also had a few thousand spirit stones behind him.
However, no one took this person seriously. The three big shots all had tens of millions of spirit stones behind them. A few thousand spirit stones was just a fraction. Moreover, this Shao Chenzui didn't have any reputation. His appearance was even weaker than Ye Kong's, so who would pay attention to him?
"Scholar Ye, today there are 18 people who want to buy information about you. If you pay 540 spirit stones, their purchase request will be invalid."
Just as Ye Kong walked out of the betting station, Huang Guangqiong followed behind him. As a VIP customer, Ye Kong had this kind of authority. However, if you wanted the Market Well Devil Sect to not sell information, then you would have to pay the same amount of money.
"You can sell it to them. This young master is very poor right now. How can I have spirit stones for you?" Ye Kong said carelessly.
The key point was that his own information was not a secret at all. Those who inquired about his information were purely wasting their money.
"Alright." Huang Guangqiong hurriedly agreed.
Ye Kong asked again, "Huang Guangqiong, do you want to earn spirit stones? If you do, then bet it on me! "
"To ensure fairness, the disciples of the Market Well Devil Sect are not allowed to participate in their own gambling house." Huang Guangqiong said respectfully. However, in her heart, she was thinking, I don't have that many spirit stones to throw into the water. I might as well bet on Lin Jiexing instead of you!
"Then I'll go back." Just as Ye Kong walked out of the door, he unexpectedly met an acquaintance. The owner of the Oral and Abdominal Brothel, Lin Xitian, walked over with his son, Lin Zhenwei.
"Aiya, what a coincidence. Brother Ye, you're here to bet too. Who are you betting on?" Lin Xitian laughed as he walked over.
Ye Kong said, "Of course I'm betting on myself. Why would I bet on someone else?"
Lin Xitian's face was embarrassed. He immediately laughed and patted his big belly. "Haha, look at my memory. I just bet a few hundred thousand on you. You must win!"
Lin Zhenwei was afraid that Ye Kong did not believe him. He hurriedly added, "Yes, yes. I was worried at that time. But my father said that since we're so close, I would bet on Scholar Ye even if I knew I would lose! "
Pretend, pretend with all his might! Ye Kong was very clear that other than himself and Huang Shishi, no one else bet a single spirit stone on him. A few hundred thousand? Not even a few dozen!
