Chapter 1429: Chapter 1428: The Competition Ends, Huge Profits
“No matter how fierce the storm is outside,
I face it with calmness.
The Chaos Palace has given enough protection, so there are many things I do not understand.”
Xiao Anshan felt a bit disheartened, sighed deeply.
He replied, “I lost, and I accept it wholeheartedly.”
He walked step by step down the stage.
From the ti he began his cultivation, among his peers, he had always been invincible.
This was his first crushing defeat.
A disastrously humiliating defeat.
Even if given more ti, even if he could try a few more tis, he still didn’t have the confidence to win.
His heart was a mix of emotions, as if sothing had been overturned.
Xiao Anshan didn’t know how to describe it, just felt lanting and sad.
As he stepped off the stage, a middle-aged man stood there waiting for him, unknown since when.
“Hall… Hall Master,” seeing the middle-aged man, Xiao Anshan greeted him in surprise.
He knew the Hall Master of the Chaos Palace.
Always elusive, rarely seen by anyone in the entire Chaos Palace.
Even as his direct disciple, Xiao Anshan had only t him a few tis.
Aside from when receiving guidance on cultivation.
“I’ve let you down,” Xiao Anshan said with sha.
The Hall Master smiled, reaching out to pat him on the shoulder.
He then replied, “What is disappointnt?
Is losing one match a disappointnt?
Neither I nor our Chaos Fire Realm founder, the Ancestor of Fire,
or the most brilliant existence in the Blazing Fla Realm,
had never lost in their youth?”
The Hall Master’s words left Xiao Anshan speechless.
“But I have no confidence in defeating my opponent.”
Xiao Anshan looked back at the stage where Xu Zii stood calmly.
It seed like defeating himself was just an insignificant matter,
hardly worth any joy.
He felt like a trivial character, like a clown who thought victory was assured before the match.
“This is a Heart Demon.”
“Child, losing is not terrifying,
what’s terrifying is losing your spirit,” the Hall Master comforted.
“I understand, Hall Master,” Xiao Anshan nodded slightly.
“May I have a mont of silence alone?”
“No problem, but in a while, the Origin Land of the Ancestor of Fire will open.
You three need to go together.
Adjust yourself quickly,” the Hall Master nodded.
……
On the stage, Xu Zii walked down calmly.
He took first place in the Chaos Fire Realm.
It was expected, nothing to be particularly happy about.
From the mont he entered the competition, it was destined that he would be first.
Among the crowd around, so were happy while others were worried.
After all, so bet on Xu Zii to win, while others bet on Xiao Anshan.
Xu Zii didn’t pay attention to these, he was thinking about other matters.
With the competition over, he could give his spot to Fireloathing City.
And then what?
He planned to visit the Lihuo Realm next.
To see the Water Beasts there, and if there was any legacy from the Water God.
“Congratulations,” Shangguan Xian and others said with a smile.
Zhang Hengzhi also smiled and said, “Great Saint, I never imagined I would see a Great Saint in my lifeti.
Young Master Xu really kept us in the dark.
I was worried sick before the match.”
“Worried about what?
That your bet would lose?” Xu Zii smiled.
“How could that be, but if Young Master Xu hadn’t ntioned it, I nearly forgot,” Zhang Hengzhi laughed.
He had bet his entire fortune on Xu Zii winning.
At the start of the betting, nobody thought Xu Zii would win.
Now that he’s taken the crown, the entire gambling house would likely suffer a huge loss.
He rembered that Xu Zii had also bet on himself to win.
And the things he bet on were unimaginably abundant.
“The casino must be having a hard ti now,” Shangguan Xian laughed.
“Haven’t they made enough money every day?
So many people have lost everything betting.”
Liu Huohuo said, “Now let them taste losing everything themselves.”
“Do you think they’ll refuse to pay up?” Zhang Hengzhi suddenly asked.
“Probably impossible.
They are backed by the Chaos Palace, refusing would ruin the Chaos Palace’s reputation.
Especially given Young Master Xu’s displayed strength now.
Even if they had ten tis the courage, I doubt they’d dare not pay,” Shangguan Xian laughed.
“Let’s go, collect the bets,” Xu Zii waved, saying.
Xu Zii was about to leave.
Suddenly soone approached him, dressed in a red robe, shrouded completely in it.
“What is it?” Xu Zii asked.
“Soone wants to et you,” the person replied.
“Who?”
“You’ll know when you get there.”
“I’m never interested in people who hide their identity,” Xu Zii refused directly.
“Sir, it’s soone from the Chaos Palace who wants to et you,” the person said helplessly, finally speaking candidly.
In truth, when had the Chaos Palace ever been so humble?
Usually, when the Chaos Palace wanted to see soone, it was the other’s honor.
Upon hearing this, Xu Zii sneered.
He said, “Go back and tell your Hall Master, I’m not interested in eting him.”
“Young Master Xu, you might want to reconsider,” the person said, squinting his eyes slightly.
Xu Zii turned around, calmly looking at him.
Then he reached out with his right hand, grabbing the person by the neck, lifting him brutally.
“Want to take your head there?”
The person struggled desperately, yet it was in vain.
In the end, Xu Zii threw him hard,
slamming him into the nearby stage.
In an instant, it felt like his internal organs were about to be shattered.
He glanced at Xu Zii with so fear, finally leaving without a word.
……
At the entrance of the gambling house, unlike the previous bustling crowd, it was now sowhat desolate.
Few people ca here anymore.
When Xu Zii and his companions arrived, an elder personally received him.
Seeing Xu Zii and the others, the elder’s face was bitter.
He said, “I’ve already learned of your background.
We’ve consulted the higher-ups, and you’ll get what you’re owed.
Rest assured.”
Xu Zii and the others nodded slightly.
“Are any of you interested in joining our Chaos Palace?” the elder suddenly asked.
“Is this a test from the person behind you?” Xu Zii asked.
“Each of you is a rare talent, and we at Chaos Palace would naturally be delighted,” the elder said with a smile.
Xu Zii was naturally uninterested.
He glanced at Zhang Hengzhi and Shangguan Xian, unsure of their intentions.
“I have no such thoughts,” Shangguan Xian shook his head, refusing directly.
“I’m flattered, but I know my limitations.
I suppose Chaos Palace doesn’t lack us from the Heavenly Being Immortal Sect,” Zhang Hengzhi laughed.
He was just tagging along with Xu Zii for a bit of luck,
the invitation was just polite talk.
……
Leaving the gambling house, all had made a great profit.
Zhang Hengzhi was overjoyed.
With so many resources, their Heavenly Being Immortal Sect could now develop further.
When they returned to the inn, Bian Wenzhou was already waiting.
He first offered his congratulations.
Then looked at Xu Zii and said, “The Tyrant Blade has been found.”
