I Became Invincible After Sweeping The Floor For 70 Years - Chapter 230

230 Starting the Bet

Qin Chen was at a loss for words, and his expression became awkward. He had secretly placed a restriction on Ling Ran, and she did not know about it. Now that Ling Ran had asked him, it was a little difficult for him to answer.

Pretending to be calm, he coughed and replied in a deep voice, “I was inevitably a little worried about you going to Tianxia City alone, so I placed a restriction on you. Don’t worry though, this restriction will only be triggered when you’re in a life-and-death situation.”

Ling Ran’s expression froze, and there was a hint of surprise in her eyes. She did not expect that Elder King would care so much about her. She was secretly happy and turned her head away, not saying anything more.

When Ji Daozi saw this, a strange smile appeared at the corner of his mouth and he said, “Elder King, since we’re already at Tianxia City, why don’t we go in and take a look?”

!!
Qin Chen looked at Tianxia City and nodded in agreement. After he healed Cao Xiuxiu and the others, he brought Ling Ran and Ji Daozi into the city.

Seeing the three enter the city, Ji Xuan and the other talents of the human race did not fall behind and entered Tianxia City one after another. Immediately after, the other talents also moved and headed toward the city.

Tianxia City wasn’t very big, but it was very lively. The residence of the Heavenly Dao Mansion’s five elders was filled with people every day, all wanting to catch a glimpse of the elegant demeanor of Dao Ming and the other four.

As the talents entered the city one after another, all the taverns in Tianxia City were filled to the brim, becoming the gathering place for the talents.

“I’ve heard that the human Elder King from the Canglan Continent has entered the city. I wonder if he’ll be competing with us for the quota to enter Chiyang Heaven.”

“Didn’t the Elder King say that he wouldn’t go to Chiyang Heaven for the time being? Since he’s already said so, he probably won’t.”

“It’s said that the Elder King suppressed three ancient princes outside the city. You must know that the ancient princes are comparable to the sons of great emperors!”

“What? The Elder King’s strength is actually that strong?”

All the taverns were flooded with heated discussions about the Elder King. The story of the Elder King suppressing three ancient princes had spread all across the streets and alleys. Many people compared the Elder King to the young great emperors, and their eyes were full of admiration.

The five from the Mansion of Heavenly Dao also heard these comments. In the room, an elder suddenly spoke, “Before the other eight Heavens arrive, we must bring the Elder King to the Chiyang Heaven. He will become the hope for the rise of the Heavenly Dao Mansion.”

“That’s right. We paid a huge price to come to the ten lands early. We must bring all the geniuses back. Only then will it be worth the price we paid,” Another elder spoke.

When Dao Ming heard this, he snorted softly, “I know. I will definitely bring the Elder King to the Chiyang Heaven.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Dao Ming disappeared from where he was.

In a tavern, Qin Chen was drinking with Ji Daozi. He hadn’t the slightest inkling that the Heavenly Dao Mansion had its eyes on him.

“Fellow Daoist’s combat strength is unrivaled and I am truly impressed,” Ji Daozi complimented him and drank the wine in his cup in one go.

Qin Chen shook his head and smiled. He waved his hand and said, “Daoist Ji, you’re flattering me. They said that you’re the son of the Ji family that could rival the great emperors 10000 years ago. I think your strength is truly unfathomable.”

Upon hearing Qin Chen’s words, Ji Daozi suddenly became alert and immediately denied it, “Fellow Daoist, the son of the Ji family disappeared 10000 years ago. How could it be me?”

Qin Chen took a deep look at Ji Daozi, his gaze somewhat obscure. Although Ji Daozi denied that he was the son of the Ji family, Qin Chen’s intuition told him that the other party was not telling the truth. He was very likely the person who dared to fight with the great emperors ten thousand years ago.

“Human Elder King! I’m the number one genius of the Wangu Continent, Gu Tianhen. I heard that the Elder King’s strength is extraordinary, so I’m here to seek your guidance!” A shout came from outside the tavern. a man with long hair and a heavy sword on his back stood outside the tavern, cupping his hands while asking to challenge the Elder King.

When everyone saw this, they all looked at the man. When they found that the man had the cultivation of the Supreme Sage realm, their eyes were full of fear.

“Who is that? To think he dares to challenge the Elder King. Is he seeking death?”

“Hey! Gu Tianhen is the number one genius and the number one martial arts fanatic in the Wangu Continent. I knew that he would definitely come to challenge the Elder King.”

“It’s said that Gu Tianhen only spent 500 years to become a Sage. Furthermore, he cultivates the sword path that has the most powerful offensive abilities. He and Elder King are both in the Supreme Sage realm. He might have a chance of winning.”

“The Elder King is an existence that could suppress three ancient princes. No matter how heaven-defying Gu Tianhen is, he will still be reduced to a supporting character.”

“The bet on the battle outcome between the Elder King and Gu Tianhen has been opened. The odds are one to twenty!” A fat man suddenly shouted and placed a large cloth on the table. To think he was running a bet on Qin Chen and Gu Tianheng.

“Hmph, you dare to use the number one genius of the Wangu Continent to start a bet. You’re courting death!” One of the talents from the Wangu Continent shouted and struck out a supernormal knowledge towards the fatty.

“Eh? I’m running my bet, so what does it have to do with you? Get lost!” The fat man snorted coldly. With a belly full of flab, he raised his hand and slapped the elite away.

“Gosh! Who is this fatty? He’s actually so powerful?”

“Damn, why is this fatty here? It’s so embarrassing.”

“I was wondering who it was. So it’s the number one genius of the Qingyu Continent, Fatty Lu. No wonder he dares to start a bet here.”

“God how unfortunate! The Qingyu Continent is one of the top five continents, but our number one genius is a gambler. It’s really embarrassing.”

Hearing everyone’s words, Fatty Lu’s eyes darkened. He unleashed his level 9 Sage King might and growled, “I run my bet and what does it have to do with you? If you want to bet, then bet. If you don’t, then shut up.”

“Hahaha! I like this temper of his. I want to place a bet. I bet 50 kilograms of Divine Spirit Source that Gu Tianhen will be able to withstand ten moves from the Elder King!”

“Hmph! The Elder King’s battle power is unrivaled. Can Gu Tianheng even last ten moves? I’ll bet 25 kilograms of Divine Spirit Source on the Elder King!”

“Gu Tianhen is the number one talent in the Wangu Continent. No matter how powerful the Elder King is, he won’t be able to finish Gu Tianhen in 10 moves. I bet 250 kilograms of Divine Spirit Souce on Gu Tianhen!”

“I bet 50 kilograms of Divine Spirit Source!”

“…”

The people started to gamble and in a short while, Fatty Lu’s big cloth bag was full. In just a short while, he had collected more than 5000 kilograms of Divine Spirit Source.

At this moment, Gu Tianhen, who was standing outside the tavern, spoke again, “I am Gu Tianhen. Elder King, please enlighten me!”

Ji Daozi looked at Qin Chen and said softly, “Fellow Daoist, this person is a martial arts fanatic. I’m afraid you have to accept the challenge.”

Hearing this, Qin Chen immediately stood up and looked at Gu Tianhen, who was standing outside the door. He said in a deep voice, “Come and fight!”
