Nine Dragons Devouring Heaven Technique

Chapter 429 Gambling on Stones

"What? Zhang Hai, ranked 98th on the Strongest List, was actually repelled by a kid who is half a step into the Heavenly Profound Realm!"

Many cultivators on the Antique Street were attracted by the commotion here. They were all surprised to see that Zhang Hai actually suffered a small loss at the hands of Lin Yan.

Although Zhang Hai is not one of the top talents in Canglan Domain, he is on the strong list after all.

There is no false reputation on the strong list.

If Zhang Hai suffered a loss at the hands of a well-known genius, they could understand it.

But Lin Yan's face was unfamiliar, and his cultivation was so weak, which was puzzling.

"I heard Zhang Hai say earlier that this guy ripped off two inns of the Disha Sect. Could it be that this guy was the one who injured Wang Hu's grandson?"

"It must be, otherwise why would he be so arrogant!"

"The Disha Sect and the Tianlong Sword Sect already have a grudge, and now they are involved in something like this. With Zhang Hai's temper, hehe..."

Everyone is not optimistic about Lin Yan.

Although Lin Yan had caused Zhang Hai to suffer a loss before, that was not a real battle after all. It was just a slight test. A real fight is two different things.

Zhang Hai listened to the discussions around him and his face turned pale:

"Boy, you dare to fight back! I think you don't want to live! I will send you to heaven right now!"

Brutal hostility erupted from Zhang Hai. At this moment, the surrounding heaven and earth twisted, and lines of mysterious power surrounded Zhang Hai, making him look like a god descending from heaven.

A gifted child of heaven like Zhang Hai, whose aura is at the fifth level of Tianxuan is stronger than that of an ordinary seventh level of Tianxuan. When his aura is turbulent, it is simply earth-shaking!

Several geniuses of the Tianlong Sword Sect, such as Ye Fan, Situ Jianyuan and others, felt a chill down their spines: "So strong! Zhang Hai is not much weaker than a mountain master-level warrior!"

However, Lin Yan did not show any fear. He drew out the Taixu Sword, his eyes sharp:

"I was originally planning to go to the ancient battlefield to kill your Disha Sect members, but now you are eager to die, so I have no choice but to help you!"

Just as the two sides were about to fight, the urban management officers suddenly arrived:

"What are you doing? Are you going to demolish the ancient city?"

Several monks with strong backs and wearing official uniforms came over. They had big swords on their waists and fierce eyes. Especially their clothes made the monks around them very afraid:

"Someone from the City Lord's Mansion!"

The Ancient City of Desolation does not belong to any of the five king-level sects, but it has an organization that maintains order—the City Lord’s Mansion!

A few hundred years ago, the City Lord's Mansion was very weak and was basically secretly controlled by the five major king-level sects.

However, sixty years ago, the new city lord accidentally obtained a king-level fruit and broke through the realm of life and death. From then on, the City Lord's Mansion was no longer controlled by the five king-level sects.

Moreover, this city lord has made rapid progress and greatly increased his strength over the years by relying on the geographical advantages of the Ancient City. He is now at the second level of the Life and Death Realm.

It almost has the momentum to become the sixth largest sect in Canglan Domain.

Even the people from the five king-level sects did not dare to offend them easily.

"City Lord's Mansion, this is a matter between our Disha Sect and Tianlong Sword Sect. Do you want to interfere? I am a first-class disciple of the Disha Sect!"

Zhang Hai said sternly.

"Even the super first-class disciples of the Disha Sect are not allowed! In the Ancient City, you must abide by the rules of the Ancient City! Otherwise, you will all be arrested!"

Those urban management officers ignored Zhang Hai completely.

Zhang Hai's face changed. If someone else said this, he would not be afraid, but the urban management of Huanggu City really dared to arrest people.

Once, there were disciples from the five king-level sects who committed crimes in the city. They thought that they could avoid punishment by relying on their identities as the five king-level sects.

As a result, the city lord personally ordered severe punishment and later executed the disciple.

This incident even caused a sensation in the sect behind that disciple. The sect’s top leaders asked for an explanation from the City Lord’s Mansion. The City Lord simply beat up the top leaders and drove them back.

In the end, that sect was unable to do anything to the City Lord's Mansion.

It is impossible to break off relations with a powerful person at the second level of the Life and Death Realm just for a disciple.

It was also because of that incident that the influence and reputation of the City Lord's Mansion of Huanggu City in the Huanggu Domain increased significantly.

Everyone knows that the City Lord's Mansion really upholds justice, even if there is someone with all-powerful powers standing behind you.

It is precisely because of this that Huanggu City has offended many people over the years, but it still stands firm.

Because the mass base is too strong.

After all, the vast majority of warriors follow the rules, and only a few really like to bully others by taking advantage of their power.

Everyone still hopes to practice and trade in a stable and peaceful environment.

In the end, Zhang Hai did not get angry, but swallowed his anger.

"Alright, let's pack up!"

The urban management did not punish him. After all, he was a disciple of one of the five king-level sects, so they should give him face, as long as it was not excessive.

After the urban management staff left, Zhang Hai's face became gloomy and uncertain.

Lin Yan took the opportunity to tease:

"Haha, I thought you, a first-class disciple of the Disha Sect, were so arrogant, but you were scolded by the city management and you didn't even dare to fart."

"Boy, you should be thankful that this is the Ancient City, and we have the City Lord's Mansion to protect us!"

Zhang Hai gritted his teeth.

"You should be thankful! If the city management hadn't intervened, you would have been a corpse by now!"

Lin Yan said.

Zhang Hai and all the disciples of the Disha Sect were so angry that their faces turned blue. One of the disciples shouted, "You are just relying on the city management to be restrained, so you dare to disrespect the Disha Sect? If you have the guts, go out and practice alone!"

"Am I afraid of you? Go to the City Lord's Mansion to apply and open the Life and Death Stage. You Disha Sect can just find ten first-class disciples. I alone is enough!"

Lin Yan sneered.

"Shameless talk!"

Everyone in the Disha Sect was angry.

The cultivators who were watching the fun around also looked at him with contempt. Although they admitted that it was very good that Lin Yan, who was half a step into the Heavenly Profound Realm, could hold his own against Zhang Hai, but to say that he could fight ten people at once, and against a first-class disciple at that, was simply bragging.

The strongest genius in Canglan Domain in the past thousand years has not been this powerful!

"It's useless to say these things, why not get down to the practical side?"

Zhang Hai's eyes flashed coldly, and he suddenly said.

"What do you want to do?"

Lin Yan spoke.

"I see you seem to be somewhat interested in picking up bargains, why don't we go to that gambling stone shop to gamble on stones!"

Zhang Haidao.

"Lin Yan, don't bet with him!"

Hearing Zhang Hai's words, Situ Jianyuan's face suddenly changed and he hurried to dissuade him.

The so-called gambling stone shop is a unique feature of the ancient city.

The Ancient City is adjacent to the Ancient Battlefield. Although the core area is blocked by the five king-level sects, treasures are often dug out from the outer areas.

There are also many stones from the bottom layer in ancient times. Some of these stones are empty, while others can produce rare treasures.

Back then, the mayor of Huanggu City broke through to the realm of life and death by digging out a shriveled royal-grade precious medicine from a piece of stone.

Due to the special nature of the stone, there is a large element of gambling, so buying stone is also called "Taobao" or "gambling on stone."

Many cultivators from the Canglan Domain traveled thousands of miles to the Huanggu City just to gamble on stones. Over the past hundreds of years, countless families have risen to prominence with the help of gambling on stones.

There are also some unlucky prodigals who lose all their property.

Why did the disciples of the Tianlong Sword Sect lose all the property of the Ancient City? It was because they were tricked by the Disha Sect!

Now that the Tianlong Sword Sect has finally shown signs of rising, Situ Jianyuan doesn't want Lin Yan to make the same mistake again.
