Chapter 1908: Chapter 1908 The Bet Is Valid
Next, numerous martial practitioners recklessly rushed up to place their bets. The martial practitioner responsible for the betting table watched the bets pile up and felt overwhelmed.
Fortunately, many of the martial practitioners knew when to stop, and some were worried that Guan Shanyue wouldn’t be able to afford the pay. Thus, if they gave all their winnings to Ye Liuyun first, they would not be able to even get their principal back.
Even Zhao Mingcheng didn’t place any bets. She figured that Guan Shanyue definitely wouldn’t be able to afford it.
Just the bets on Ye Liuyun alone already amounted to over 13,900 trillion!
With the twentyfold return, even a great power would have trouble taking out this much money at once. Well, Zhao Clan definitely couldn’t afford such a huge sum.
No matter how profitable running a casino might be, it couldn’t possibly earn that much!
Zhao Mingcheng felt that she had already made quite a bit and couldn’t be any greedier.
Both Guan Shanyue and the Fifth Realm martial practitioner on the stage were extremely thrilled at this moment.
Guan Shanyue had placed all his stakes and was, of course, nervous. And as for the martial practitioner on the stage, he was getting ready to fight for his reward! He had never seen so much money in his life.
But Ye Liuyun remained as calm as ever.
As soon as the fight started, Ye Liuyun directly summoned a mid-stage Sixth Realm Vermilion Bird, which instantly scared the martial practitioner stiff.
The pressure of facing a mid-stage Sixth Realm entity made the martial practitioner too frightened to move.
"Mr. Moneybags is so awesome! Rich indeed! The martial practitioners already started screaming in excitement.
Ye Liuyun then simply walked over to remove the opponent’s defensive treasure and erased his Divine Sense. Once he devoured the martial practitioner’s Divine Soul, he took the latter’s Interspatial Ring and his virtuoso.
Afterward, he turned his gaze towards Guan Shanyue.
At this point, Guan Shanyue had collapsed into his seat!
"How’s this possible?! How’s this possible?!" All Guan Shanyue could do now was repeat this phrase.
But Ye Liuyun just laughed and said to him, "Time to pay up now. If you can’t, then honour your promise!"
"I..." Guan Shanyue wanted to argue, but he couldn’t utter anything.
In the end, all he could say was, "I’m from the Ethos Tribe. No way I’m gonna be your slave!"
The martial practitioners who had placed bets in the crowd didn’t even wait for Ye Liuyun to command. They immediately rushed to the betting table, surrounding it.
Ye Liuyun looked at the staff in the ring, asking, "Usually how you handle when someone sets up a bet but then can’t pay?"
The staff was initially conflicted because Guan Shanyue was from the Ethos Tribe, and having him serve as Ye Liuyun’s slave seemed somewhat difficult. But suddenly, he received a message from Wu Yongyuan.
After that, he quickly said to Ye Liuyun, "Your bet is valid. If Guan Shanyue can’t pay, he’ll be your slave. You can enforce it.
But let me remind you, having someone of the Ethos Tribe as a slave, might cause you trouble in the future."
"Even if he bet voluntarily, there could still be trouble?" Ye Liuyun asked further.
The staff simply nodded, saying, "It’s a matter of the Ethos Tribe’s dignity. Their elder tribe members might not care about the bet!"
"Okay, got it!" Ye Liuyun thanked the staff, then released his Divine Soul, darting directly into Guan Shanyue’s Ocean of Consciousness.
"How dare you..."
Guan Shanyue was startled, but before he could finish his sentence, Ye Liuyun had already planted the Slaving Seal on him.
After retrieving his soul, Ye Liuyun’s Divine Soul returned to his own Ocean of Consciousness.
"What’s there for me to fear?! You brought this on yourself!" He said lightly.
"Sir!" After Guan Shanyue was planted with Ye Liuyun’s Slaving Seal, he dutifully bowed to acknowledge Ye Liuyun as his master.
He regretted it a million times over in his heart, thinking that he should not have pledged his token. If he still had the token, his Divine Soul definitely wouldn’t be enslaved by Ye Liuyun. Even The Mighty of the Ethos Tribe could help him eliminate Ye Liuyun.
Even if the city manager blamed him later, he could save himself from death with the Ethos Tribe’s token.
However, he was already blinded by greed and bet everything in hopes of winning back his losses.
"Ah, how greedy I was!" He sighed deeply in his heart.
The martial practitioners in the audience were also in chaos, all clamoring for Guan Shanyue to pay them.
After Ye Liuyun had marked Guan Shanyue as his slave, he naturally knew what Guan Shanyue was thinking.
Yet, getting the situation under control was more important right now. Hence, he loudly said to everyone, "Guys, please calm down! Guan Shanyue’s now my slave. If he can’t pay, I’ll pay for him. Just line up at the betting table to get your money."
After saying that, he had Guan Shanyue distribute the remaining crystals to the other martial practitioners.
Then, Ye Liuyun asked Lei Ming to take back his bets.
In Guan Shanyue’s hand, he still had over 800 trillion Spirit Crystals, more than enough for him to turnover.
"You’re still running the casino, this money is for you to use as turnover. Follow me to the exchange hall to redeem your token," Ye Liuyun said to Guan Shanyue.
"Okay. Thank you, sir." Guan Shanyue never expected that Ye Liuyun would help him redeem his token.
In fact, Ye Liuyun was not doing it for him, but in order to contact Liang Xue, he needed Guan Shanyue to have a token in his hand. The token of the Ethos Tribe was their Sound Transmission Talisman.
The token recognised its owner so Ye Liuyun couldn’t use it. Only Guan Shanyue could use it.
Liang Xue had become the saintess of the Ethos Tribe, but Guan Shanyue’s status in the Ethos Tribe was just a common disciple. Usually, he definitely couldn’t contact her casually. But he had a cousin called He Sining, who often cultivated with Liang Xue and could speak to her.
Ye Liuyun and Guan Shanyue arrived at the exchange hall and returned those twenty million Spirit Crystals. As for that treasure that could fend off the Divine Soul Attack, he directly bought it and even bought another seven, giving one to each of Lei Ming, Dragon Lady, Manshu, and Ye Tiandao.
The extras were prepared for his clone, He Lianxiu, Xiao Yunfang, and Yu Xiaofeng. He was afraid they would encounter accidents in battle.
The items here that could defend against the Divine Soul Attack were of high level and could withstand the Divine Soul Attack of a martial practitioner in the late stages of the Seventh Realm.
Even for martial practitioners in the Eighth Realm, it could also have some effect.
"You can’t use this token!" The manager, Wu Yongyuan specially reminded Ye Liuyun, fearing that he would activate The Mighty power of the Ethos Tribe within.
"I know. Thanks for the reminder!" After Ye Liuyun took the token, he directly gave it to Guan Shanyue.
Ye Liuyun had learned through Divine Soul search that once the Divine Soul was planted with the Slaving Seal when there was no token defense, even if he retrieved the token later, the token would no longer react to the Slaving Seal. Therefore, it was very safe to return it to Guan Shanyue.
When the manager saw that Ye Liuyun actually redeemed the token for Guan Shanyue, he nodded in satisfaction.
"By the way, your custom-made armour is here. I’ll get it for you."
The manager promptly handed over the three Devil Dragon armours that Ye Liuyun had requested to Ye Liuyun, and explained to him, "The three dragon scales on the chest of the Devil Dragon have been refined into the chests of each of your three armour pieces. We didn’t dare to skimp at all!"
Ye Liuyun also quickly stood up to thank him, "Thank you so much! I never thought that those three dragon scales could be refined into my armour!"
Those three dragon scales were the hardest scales on Devil Dragon’s body, and they were very strong with Dragon Qi. At that time, Ye Liuyun didn’t think so much. He was already satisfied enough to obtain three pieces of Eighth Realm armour.
