Lou Xiaoyi returned to the Shaking Shadow Land. Nothing had changed, and it was impossible for it to change. This was because he had not been away for more than three years.
In fact, most of his time was spent traveling through the universe in Taiposhi. The time spent in the real Taipu Realm was not long.
Che Xie, Cong Rong, and the others gathered around him. They did not feel like they were reunited after a long separation. They were just friends on a trip.
"What happened? You don't have to hide it from me. If nothing happened, I'm afraid no one would come to greet you! "
A few Swordsman laughed. Che Xie said, "It's not a big deal. Two years ago, a few Swordsman brothers went to the Upper Forest Valley to gamble on donkeys. It seemed like they were doubtful about the results. In the end, they got into a fight with the organizers. Out of the four brothers, two died and one was injured …"
Lou Xiaoyi frowned. He had heard of the Upper Forest Valley before. It was not a land. It was a space of clouds that was similar to a valley in the middle of a few smaller continents. Due to its special geographical location, the clouds in the Upper Forest Valley were very thin. Most of the time, the sky was clear and the visibility was high.
These few smaller continents were closer to the core of the Heavenly Cycle Upper Realm's nebula. They were far from the nine great divine mountains on the surface. Naturally, the power that could penetrate through was limited. There was not much production. The continents were barren, and the people were unruly and unruly. They were very wild. Therefore, they were too lazy to invest much power in this place. It formed a famous Nine No Man's Land in the Upper Realm of Zhou Xian.
The resources were barren. Of course, they would think of ways to make money. The location and production here were not suitable for business. They could only think of some crooked ideas. Donkey gambling was the specialty of this place!
To put it simply, it was like horse racing in his previous life!
For cultivators, especially the middle and low-level cultivators, many of their thoughts and habits had not completely broken away from the structure of mortals. Perhaps the disciples of the big sects could not be confused by external matters. However, the majority of the cultivators in the Upper Realm of Zhou Xian were unorthodox cultivators from the three thousand smaller continents!
How much Dao Heart could one expect from small sects and small sects? How much self-discipline did they have? In order to survive, in order to vent, it wasn't strange for some random things to appear here.
If Red Hill in Zhou Xian was known for its small commodity wholesalers, then Shanglin Valley in Zhou Xian was known for its gambling industry.
Humans were born with a natural inclination to gamble. This was especially true for cultivators. Their inclination to gamble was unparalleled! Every year, a similar donkey gambling event would be held in Upper Forest Valley. In recent months, there were private bets between cultivators, and official bets by the organizers. With the support of thousands of gamblers, it was also a profitable business!
In a place like a gambling den, fighting was a common occurrence. It wasn't rare at all. People who lost until their eyes turned red, people who robbed them halfway, and people who were angry at the gambling den resorted to cheating. As long as it was something that could be found in a gambling den in the mortal world, it could be found here. There was no difference!
Swordsman was a regular here! Because this was indeed a place to vent one's energy! He might even be able to make a fortune!
Of course, it was the same for the other orthodoxies. The ones who gambled even more fiercely were the body cultivators. With these participants, fighting became the norm!
However, there weren't many deaths, especially in a few of the more famous orthodoxies. How could they lose two precious Swordsman seeds there? This made Lou Xiaoyi very curious.
"What's the reason? Is it our fault? "
Che Xie was very sure. "There are no rules in a donkey gambling den. It's a foul place to begin with. There are all kinds of people there, and we Swordsman have never been the most arrogant there! The body cultivators are the most arrogant!
But this time, according to the brothers who came back, the organizers seemed to be deliberately targeting them. If it was in the past, it would just be a verbal dispute. However, under the provocation of the other party, a few brothers couldn't hold back and ended up fighting!
You know, fighting in casinos is normal. It would be strange if they didn't fight. However, most of the fights happened between gamblers. There were very few disputes with the organizers. They were doing business, so why would they treat their customers so rudely? Most of the time, they just warned them to leave.
I didn't expect it to be so strange this time. The organizer's will to fight was very firm, and from the looks of the cultivators who surrounded us, it was premeditated long ago. We brothers are all experienced fighters, so we can see this trick clearly. But we were caught off guard, and it was very difficult for us to escape. That's why two of us died! "
Lou Xiaoyi did not doubt their testimony. There was no need for them to lie. Swordsman was far from being the most arrogant and despotic among the 3,000 orthodoxies in the upper realm of Zhou Xian. This was because the strength of the Swordsman here was limited. There were only nine branches of the Sword Vein. In terms of numbers, they were far less than some of the orthodoxies, such as the Body Vein and the Bloodline.
Recently, the Sword Vein had been in the limelight, but it was only because of his leadership in the battle between the Heaven and Earth Chessboard and the monks that made a name for themselves! However, everyone knew very well that although they had made a name for themselves, their losses were too great. Hundreds of Swordsman Jin Dan had died inside. They needed to rest and recuperate, so why would they go out and stir up trouble?
"You mean, someone deliberately set up a trap to target us Shaking Shadow?"
Cong Rong nodded. "Yes, that's what we think! At that time, there were very few Swordsman. After the battle between the Heaven and Earth Chessboard, all the Sword Vein disciples were restricting their disciples. They rarely came out to wander, because they were worried about the revenge of the Buddhists!
Our brothers have been holding it in for so many years. We also thought that Upper Forest Valley was far from the mainland and close to the boundary core, so the Buddhists wouldn't be able to reach so far. In the end, we didn't expect … "
Lou Xiaoyi was very satisfied. At least they did not act rashly when he was not around!
In the Taipu Realm, Big Eye and Small Eye made a move. In Upper Forest Valley, they made use of the organizers to make a move. They were thinking that he would not be able to return! That was basically the case!
"Boss …" A few of them looked at him, meaning that he should respond.
Lou Xiaoyi waved his hand. "Go, go, go. Go and practice your swordsmanship. Wait for me to rest for a while and think clearly about the details of this matter!"
The few of them left reluctantly. What their boss said made sense. They had to find out the truth and who was the mastermind behind this, right? Even though everyone could guess who it was!
"Also, for the next few days, Shaking Shadow only allows people to enter but not leave. Don't go out and rest for a while …"
Lou Xiaoyi did not even think about finding out the truth. How would he find out? Who would he send? For a dispute like this, the other party had a thousand reasons waiting for you, making you unable to say anything!
It was a matter of two hands clapping in the first place! It was just that in terms of propriety, it was more intense. Was it strange for one or two people to die in a place like this?
Did the Buddhists have anything to do with the gambling house? This was not strange. In this cultivation world, people only saw a very small part of it, the tip of the iceberg. The long history of the Upper Sect determined that their hands could reach anywhere!
