Outside Star River City, Xing He Tu Tian's face was pale as he watched Ye Qinghan and the others leave, his whole body trembling.
Ye Qinghan left Star River City with the two top-grade goddesses, heading straight for the main city.
In the huge sixth layer, cities like Star River City were like stars in the sky. There was one every million miles, and each city had its own power.
The news of Ye Qinghan killing Divine Void Cliff in one move and shocking Xing He Tu Tian until he didn't dare to speak spread throughout the sixth layer, allowing him to have a smooth journey. Even the disciples of powerful families and powerful sects took the initiative to greet him, offering him some divine medicine as a greeting gift. They just wanted to be at ease and didn't want to provoke this fiend.
Ye Qinghan accepted all of them without hesitation. After all, the Star-twisting Vine needed food, and what others gave was far from enough, but he still paid a large amount of Spirit Crystals. He bought almost a hundred stalks of divine medicine that were about to prove his Dao and gave them all to Li Shang.
After wandering around the sixth layer for a month, they didn't find any opportunities, but they used up all the Spirit Crystals they had. There wasn't even a single top-grade Spirit Crystal left!
Along the way, the City Lord came out to greet and send them off. The divine bird enjoyed the process, but when it saw that the Spirit Crystals had been used up, it couldn't help but feel dejected. It didn't have the slightest interest in treasure hunting. Finally, they arrived at the outer city near the center of the sixth layer. The sects and families here were all extremely powerful. Some of the powerful sects ignored Ye Qinghan and the others. Even if they did, they only sent a servant to deliver some trash.
"What is this? Are you trying to get rid of a beggar? "The parrot was furious. It couldn't stand this kind of cold treatment.
Ye Qinghan was speechless. The parrot was used to taking things for granted. If people were willing to give it face, then they were giving it face. If they weren't willing to give it, then they didn't owe it anything. Yet it was actually angry!
Heavenly Ocean City was vast, majestic, and magnificent. This was the sphere of influence of the Yuan Family in the sixth layer. There were more than ten Emperors in the family, and two Peak Emperors. They had always been strong and aloof.
Ye Qinghan and the others walked over. A powerful ghost slave was standing at the city gate. He was a Great Emperor Realm cultivator and was dressed in the Yuan Clan's servant uniform. It was easy to recognize him. At this moment, he was holding his head high, as if he wanted to raise it to the sky. When he saw Ye Qinghan, he said in a sharp voice, "Ye Qinghan, this old man is the captain of Haitian City's City Guard Team. The surname given to me by the Yuan Clan is Yuan Qi. This old man is here on behalf of the Young Master to tell you to go to Shaosi's courtyard and pay him a visit."
Ye Qinghan was probably used to people coming out to greet and send him off, so he couldn't help but feel a little angry at the sudden appearance of such a strange person.
The Yuan Clan's Yuan Shaosi was one of the top three masters in the sixth layer. He was also one of the few existences who could defeat Xing He Tu Tian. Ye Qinghan had naturally gathered a lot of information about the sixth layer along the way, so he immediately knew who this Yuan Qi was.
"Are you sure this is how your Young Master told you to pass on the message?" Ye Qinghan was a little surprised. Anyone who could reach the top three in the sixth layer was definitely not an idiot. Even if he was strong, he wouldn't treat them so rudely.
"Then how do you want to pass on the message? A palanquin with eight carriers carrying you into the city? Is it because your confidence has been inflated some time ago and you've become complacent? " Yuan Qi said disdainfully, "My Young Master is holding a treasure gambling competition in his courtyard. The top five masters of the sixth layer, the Four Ghost Fairies, the top ten richest people of the sixth layer, and the king of the gambling world will all be there. You'd better find an inn and change your clothes before you come here. Don't be so travel-worn and spoil the fun."
At this time, let alone the divine bird, even Emperor Ye was very unhappy. Ye Qinghan's eyes flashed coldly.
"Treasure gambling competition?" Ye Qinghan didn't understand the customs of the Nine Underworlds, but he had a general idea. He just didn't know the rules and methods of gambling.
"Young Lord, the treasure gambling competition is a game that some disciples of powerful Sects like to play. It's considered gambling, but this kind of gambling is too barbaric. Winning or losing is worth tens of millions of Spirit Crystals. Some people even lose their Life Divine Weapons. It's said that the most outrageous gambling competition was on the ninth layer, hosted by Lord Feather Emperor himself. A peak stage Emperor Realm master lost his entire fortune and had to sell his body to pay off the debt …" Li Shang ran over to Ye Qinghan and whispered in his ear.
"What kind of gambling is it?" Ye Qinghan asked curiously.
"It's divided into two types. The first type is stone gambling. There's a type of stone in the Nine Underworlds called the Nine Underworlds Divine Stone. Most of them are useless stones, but some Divine Stones have sealed Divine Beasts, Primal Chaos Treasures, Evil Ghosts, and other treasures from countless years ago. There are also some Divine Stones that contain endless energy that can push an Emperor Realm master to the level of a God Priest. Even without a Godhead, they can still be compared to a God Priest, but they're too rare. These Nine Underworlds Divine Stones are abundant in the land of reincarnation of the Nine Underworlds and are mined by powerful beings in the depths of the Nine Underworlds. Some stones are especially good and are kept by those powerful beings. Most of them are sold by those powerful beings at extremely high prices. However, there are times when powerful beings make a mistake and many precious Divine Stones are leaked to the outside world.
"What's the other type of gambling?" Ye Qinghan asked.
"There's another type of gambling that extends from stone gambling. They bet on who can buy the most valuable Divine Stone and who will win all the bets. Sometimes, the dealer loses everything, but there are also dealers who make a crazy profit," Li Shang replied.
"This is the fastest way to make money, but of course, it's also the fastest way to lose money. A good Divine Stone can be auctioned for tens of thousands of top-grade Spirit Crystals, but in the end, nothing will be gained. On the other hand, some ordinary Divine Stones can be mined for a few thousand top-grade Spirit Crystals, which can be worth millions of top-grade Spirit Crystals!" Li Shang reminded.
Before Ye Qinghan could say anything, the Divine Bird arrogantly transmitted its voice, "Master, let's go. With me, the God of Gamblers, here, I can beat anyone who comes, not even their underpants!"
Ye Qinghan's eyes flashed as he hoarsely transmitted his voice, "Can you feel what's inside the Divine Stone? Don't lose my underpants! "
"I can't, but I can rely on my sixth sense. Whichever Divine Bird thinks is good will be good. After all, those Divine Stones are wrapped in a layer of something that isn't energy. It can block out all the Divine Stones of the strong. Otherwise, why would the almighty rely on selling these things to make a fortune?" The Divine Bird shook its wings and said.
"Relying on luck?" Ye Qinghan shrugged and walked into the city. When he passed by Yuan Qi, he coldly said, "Lead the way!"
Yuan Qi sneered and didn't argue with Ye Qinghan. Perhaps he was afraid that Ye Qinghan would fly into a rage, so he led Ye Qinghan and the others to the center of the city.
They sped all the way and soon arrived at the famous Shaosi's residence on the sixth floor. It was a waste to call it a separate residence. It was even more luxurious than a city lord's residence. Moreover, it seemed connected to the Yuan family's residence, but it was actually separated.
The Shaosi Residence!
A plaque was engraved outside the residence. It was said that this plaque was written and engraved by a Venerable Emperor who was almost as powerful as the almighty.
The residence was very large, tens of thousands of feet in radius. It was majestic and filled with Divine Qi. Divine flowers bloomed all around. Many of them were close to attaining Dao. It was obvious how luxurious Yuan Shaosi's life was.
As soon as Ye Qinghan and the others stepped into the residence, they heard a voice.
"Hahaha, so it's Brother Ye. Please forgive me for not coming out to meet you."
A handsome figure dressed in a white robe appeared. He was elegant and had an extraordinary temperament. He looked to be about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old and gave off a feminine feeling. There was a five-colored Divine Dragon carved on his left shoulder and the word "Shaosi" embroidered on his right shoulder. His identity was obvious. He was Yuan Shaosi.
He looked polite, but from the moment Ye Qinghan and the others entered the residence, his eyes had never left Emperor Ye and Li Shang. His eyes were full of greed, and his purpose was self-evident.
"Hmph, idiot!" The Divine Bird said rudely.
"Ahem …" Yuan Shaosi coughed twice and ignored Ye Qinghan. He walked towards Emperor Ye and Li Shang and performed a standard aristocratic bow. He pretended to be dignified and said, "I am Yuan Shaosi. I have long heard of Fairy's beautiful name. It is said that Fairy is as beautiful as a goddess. Now that I have met you, the rumors are true, but it is difficult to describe Fairy's beauty."
Emperor Ye's mouth twitched and he clenched his fist. He really wanted to use his fist to punch Yuan Shaosi's face. He wanted to see if his fist or his face was harder.
Pa!
Emperor Ye did not make a move, but the Star-twining Vine on his shoulder suddenly twitched. It cracked the void and slashed across Yuan Shaosi's face.
Yuan Shaosi was shocked and hurriedly dodged. He dodged the Star-twining Vine's attack, but he did not manage to dodge the force of the attack. A bloody vine mark appeared on his pale face, and he immediately became angry out of humiliation.
Ye Qinghan smiled disdainfully and pretended to be serious. He said, "So it is Fellow Daoist Shaosi of the Yuan Clan. I have long heard of your name. I am sorry, but my spirit pet's life is to attack whenever it sees food. It is a creature without a soul. I believe Fellow Daoist will not bother with it, right?"
Yuan Shaosi's face twitched and he quickly healed the wound on his face. His heart was burning with anger, but he had no reason to explode. He could only swallow his anger.
"I was too rude. Fellow Daoists, please enter the inner courtyard. All the heroes are waiting." Yuan Shaosi suffered a loss and pretended to be happy. He took the lead and walked into the inner courtyard. When he turned around, his eyes flashed with a murderous light.
When Ye Qinghan and the others entered the inner courtyard, they found that the courtyard was a few hundred feet in radius. There were several corridors intersecting with each other. There were rockery and lotus ponds everywhere. The corridors were filled with powerful and wealthy cultivators. Most of them were famous cultivators on the sixth floor. There were also four beautiful women who were in the Great Emperor Realm. They were surrounded by the heroes. Three of them enjoyed the feeling of being flattered, but one of them was cold and unapproachable.
With a glance, Ye Qinghan had a rough idea of what was going on. Many people were also looking at them. Some of the godly tycoons stared at Emperor Ye and Li Shang with unconcealable greed in their eyes.
"Let me introduce them to everyone. They are the examinees who fought their way up from the second level this year. I'm sure everyone has heard of Ye Qinghan and Ye Huanghuang. Today, I'm here to give Shaosi face and participate in the stone-gambling competition. Everyone, please don't look down on Brother Ye's wealth. If he can't afford to lose, then I'll pay for all their bets. Yuan Shaosi was proud and his eyes were filled with mockery. He had blocked Ye Qinghan's path to death. He had no choice but to gamble.
