You Wuji's eyes flickered as he closed his eyes. No one knew what he was thinking.
"Luckily, you didn't succeed. Otherwise, it would be a huge mess. Compared to the Peacock Clan, these four powerful clans, even if they were defeated, it wouldn't be easy for the Thousand Demon City to annihilate them. However, it's different for the Medusas and your Ghost Leopard Clan. Both of our clans have always been the allies of the Winged Clan. Once we're defeated, we'll face the calamity of annihilation. So, please use your brain next time. Can you not be so impulsive?"
Bai Xiao Lou heaved a sigh of relief and said angrily, "Listen to the rumors outside. The assassination has not succeeded yet, but it has already caused such a commotion. There are definitely people with ulterior motives fanning the flames, adding fuel to the fire. They want to stir up conflict within the alliance and cause it to fall apart. Luckily, the chairman is wise and farsighted. He did not make any response, so the rumors did not have their effect. Otherwise, things would have really gotten out of hand."
You Wuji did not make a sound, but said in a low, muffled voice, "I made a bet with him."
"With who?"
Bai Xiao Lou did not react in time and asked curiously.
"Peng Tianning!"
You Wuji's expressionless face revealed a rare hint of emotion as the corner of his eyes twitched.
"Him? What bet? "
Bai Xiao Lou frowned. He had a bad premonition as he asked nervously.
"I failed to assassinate him. He trapped me. I'm not satisfied."
You Wuji said unhappily, "He wanted me to submit, so I made a bet with him."
Bai Xiao Lou felt even more uneasy and asked with concern, "What bet did you make?"
"If he wins and becomes the chief, I will submit."
You Wuji said proudly. From his point of view, he would definitely win this bet. Even though that kid was extremely powerful, it would be impossible for him to defeat Kong Lei.
Unexpectedly, Bai Xiao Lou's expression changed drastically as he roared, "Are you f * cking crazy? Aren't you sending yourself to their doorstep to be a hired thug? "
"He can't beat Kong Lei."
You Wuji did not expect Bai Xiao Lou to have such a big reaction. His lips trembled, but he did not know why his originally confident heart was now faintly uncertain.
"You, you, you fool, how do you know he can't win?"
Bai Xiao Lou was really anxious now. The veins on his forehead were bulging. He paced back and forth anxiously and angrily scolded, "Why don't you think about what kind of person the chairman is? If she didn't think highly of Peng Tianning, would she have agreed to let him participate in the preliminaries? "
You Wuji was taken aback, feeling a little uneasy in his heart. But when he thought about it carefully, he still felt that Ding Ning basically had no chance of winning. Unconvinced, he muttered, "Maybe the speaker made a mistake? Kong Lei was a rare genius of the Peacock Race. Other than Peng Tianao, who in the same generation would dare to say they could defeat her? It's even more impossible for Peng Tianning. "
Bai Xiao Lou was so angry that he almost laughed. His face was red as he argued, "You are really stupid. Why don't you think about it? If Peng Tianning did not have absolute confidence, would he dare to fight for the position of Great Commander? Why would the speaker dare to give such an important power reshuffle to him? "
"Maybe he's just too conceited?"
You Wuji suddenly remembered Peng Tianning's confident smile when he let him go. His tone was full of guilt, and a feeling of uneasiness quickly spread in his heart.
Bai Xiao Lou was completely speechless. He shook his head helplessly and said, "Why don't you think about it? Since he appeared like a comet yesterday, he came all the way from the Ninth Territory to the First Territory. He killed Cold Iron, Chai Min, and Ao Hong. Last night, he broke Yuan Gu's legs in front of everyone. He released a strange white mist and destroyed three Peak Demon Kings. Can you achieve such a terrifying feat? Or can I do it?"
You Wuji's face turned green and red. A drop of sweat the size of a bean appeared on his forehead. Previously, he did not hesitate to stand up for his good friend and did not think too much about it. But now that he thought about it, he was really lucky to be able to come back alive.
But this was not the end. Bai Xiao Lou continued, "Peng Tianao and Kong Lei might be able to achieve such a feat. But don't forget, they have their own clans as their backing. What does Peng Tianning have? A wild clan from the Great Wilderness. He has no one to rely on. He relied on his own strength to break through all the obstacles from the Ninth Territory to the First Territory. As long as someone dares to provoke him, he will not care about them no matter how strong they are. Without enough confidence, how can he do this? "
At this point, Bai Xiao Lou's face revealed a look of respect. "Let's not talk about anything else. Just based on his fearless courage and boldness, I am far inferior to him. Not to mention his unfathomable strength. If he really fought against Kong Lei, it is hard to tell who would be the winner. Anyway, my intuition tells me that he will definitely be the one laughing at the end in this battle for the position of Commander."
"Gulp!"
You Wuji's eyes lit up and he actually swallowed his saliva.
Bai Xiao Lou thought that he was frightened and worried about his future. He hurriedly comforted him. "Our Myriad Demon Territory has always believed that the strong are respected. If he really can obtain the position of Commander, he will be considered to be standing at the level of a peak expert. It will not be embarrassing even if you pledge your loyalty to him."
"No, I forgot to place my bet. I don't know if I can make it in time."
You Wuji hurriedly spat out a few words before disappearing from the spot like a wisp of smoke.
"Place your bet? What bet? "
Bai Xiao Lou was confused by his good friend's bold and unconstrained style and asked subconsciously. But then he suddenly remembered something and slapped his head. He shouted, "Wait for me, I forgot to place my bet too. The odds are one to one hundred. Hahaha, I am going to be rich."
At the same time, Ding Ning, who was about to reach the Martial Arts Practice Field, suddenly thought of something. After asking You softly, he took out the crystal coins that he had stolen from Kong Lei last night and handed them to You. "Hurry up and place your bet. Bet everything on me to win. One to one hundred, you won't have to worry about money now."
The coins used in the Demon Race were polished from a kind of crystal-like mineral produced in the Sacred Mountain. From low to high, they were divided into yellow crystal, red crystal, blue crystal, black crystal, and purple crystal. The exchange rate was one to one, which meant that one purple crystal was equivalent to a hundred million yellow crystals.
Kong Lei was the pride of the Peacock Race and naturally did not lack money. Even though she did not bring much with her, there were still three purple crystals and a dozen black crystals. There were also hundreds of red and yellow crystals. All of them were taken by Ding Ning and taken out for You Wuji to place his bet.
You Wuji was dumbfounded. He and Bai Xun Er had painstakingly fought on the battlefield for a year, looting the corpses of their enemies and making a lot of money from the dead. But until now, they had only accumulated a hundred blue crystals.
But Ding Ning had just arrived, yet he could casually take out three purple crystals. How could he not be shocked? However, when he thought about how his big brother did not walk the normal path, he immediately calmed down. What a joke, this was his big brother, so what were three purple crystals to him?
"Wait, help me place my bet on Young Master as well!"
Bai Xun Er took out a delicate money pouch and stuffed it into You Wuji's hands.
You Wuji chuckled and ran off.
As a result, the banker, who was frowning, finally received three huge bets on the unpopular side just before the end of the betting period. This made the shopkeeper of the Rich and Noble money house, who was in charge of collecting bets, feel relieved. Even though he was scolding the other party for being an idiot in his heart, his face was full of smiles and he was extremely passionate. He simply treated the other party as a god of wealth.
In any gambling house, if one only bet on one side, no matter how low the odds were, it would cause the banker to lose a lot of money. But now, it was finally balanced.
However, what the shopkeeper didn't expect was that once there was a huge upset, the hundred times the odds would cause the Rich and Noble money house to go bankrupt. But did that even exist? It was impossible for her to exist. Who didn't know of Fairy Lei's name?
Apart from a very limited number of people, no one believed that Peng Tianning would be able to defeat Fairy Lei and obtain the final victory. Naturally, Shopkeeper Sun of the Wealthy and Noble Bank thought so as well. He even eagerly ran over to the owner of the bank to report this great news. The owner was also very happy, and after praising him, he even awarded him a blue crystal as a reward.
This time, Shopkeeper Sun was extremely moved. In his heart, he rejoiced that he had followed such a generous master. In the future, he would definitely do his utmost to earn even more money for his master. This was to repay his master's kindness.
In the martial arena, the peak Daemon Kings of the various races worked together to set up the arena. It was able to withstand the attack of a peak Daemon King without collapsing.
The Winged Clan's ancestor sat at the top of the viewing platform, while the other chairmen sat on both sides. All eight chairmen were present, showing the importance of this selection.
The referee and host was a highly respected old man from the Crane race. The old man had white hair and a youthful complexion. His skin was fair and rosy like a baby's, and his face was kind. Paired with a snow-white ancient robe, he looked like an immortal descending to the mortal world. His every movement was in harmony with nature, filled with a special tranquil charm, and gave people a sense of harmony.
As soon as he stepped onto the stage, he received thunderous applause and cheers from the audience. The audience below the stage were chanting "Old Crane, Old Crane!" It was clear how prestigious he was. Even the chairmen of the Alliance stood up and bowed slightly to show their respect.
The Crane race was a rather special existence in the Myriad Demon Territory. They had always been indifferent to fame and fortune, impartial and fair. Their race was famous for their shocking sword skills. They lived in the inner region of the First Territory for generations, living a leisurely life. They never participated in the fight for the position of lord, nor did they participate in any power struggles.
The fairness of this selection could be guaranteed to the greatest extent by having the Crane race, a race that had always been impartial, be the referee.
The Winged Clan's ancestor's murky old eyes flickered as he closed them. He sneered in his heart. He did not expect the four races to be afraid that he would intervene and save Ding Ning, so they even invited the Crane race. They were really scheming.
Old Crane was in high spirits. His old body was as straight as a pine tree. He smiled and raised his hand to stop the thunderous cheers below the arena. He said with a smile, "I'm He Ming. I'm deeply honored to be invited by the Winged Clan to be the referee of this selection. Thank you for your love and trust. I'll definitely follow the principles of fairness and justice to ensure the smooth running of this selection. Friends, please supervise and correct me!"
There was another round of thunderous applause from below the stage. He Ming was one of the more unique members of the Crane Tribe. He loved to travel around the world, hated evil, helped the weak, fought for justice, and was a benevolent elder with a heart like a Bodhisattva. Everyone present had a friendly and trustworthy attitude towards him.
With a smile on his face, Old Crane raised his right hand again and gestured for everyone to be quiet. The noisy crowd immediately stopped and fell silent again. Countless pairs of eyes stared at him, waiting for him to continue speaking as a sign of respect.
