Nine Stars Killer Novel - Chapter 681
Chapter 681 A Heaven-Shaking Bet
Now, no one could stop him, not even Tang Yan, because Ye Feng had already stood up.
Moreover, Tang Yan also knew that at this moment, if she blindly avoided, it would not only be Ye Feng’s face that would be lost, the dignity of the Tang Family would also be lost, and it would even become a laughingstock of Fire City.
“Ye Feng, how do you want to bet!”
Seeing Ye Feng stand out, the Zhong Clan all revealed strange smiles. Since they could not kill Ye Feng tonight, it was still possible for the Tang Clan to make a fool of themselves. It was best for the Tang Clan’s reputation to be ruined.
“Since the lantern festival is mainly composed of zither, chess, calligraphy and painting, we will bet four rounds today. Not only will the loser lose the bet, he will also have to kneel and kowtow. Do you, Zhong Clan, dare to bet?”
If you want to bet, you can bet big. This Zhong Clan has already accepted the life and death enmity, so there is no need for Ye Feng to be polite.
“This is what you said!”
Zhong Qiang stood up and wanted Ye Feng’s words. Tang Yan wanted to stand up, but she found that Ye Feng had already finished his words and her face revealed a look of displeasure.
Ye Feng was risking the dignity of the entire Tang Clan. Once he lost, the face of the entire Tang Clan would be thrown in.
“Tell me, how many stakes can you take out?”
Ye Feng said it quickly because he was afraid that Tang Yan would stop him, so he didn’t give her a chance. How could Ye Feng not know that once he said it too late, Tang Yan would definitely stop him. After all, it involved the dignity of the entire Tang Family.
“The stakes aren’t a problem. Let’s see how much you can take out.”
Zhong Qiang smiled. As long as Ye Feng dared to bet, he could accompany him to the end.
“Alright, there are four rounds, each with 10 million Essence Pill as the stake. What do you think?”
Ye Fengfeng said calmly, but countless stunned eyes appeared in the surroundings.
“I pu!”
Many people shouted and the wine in their mouths immediately poured out. What were Origin Essence Pills? Each of them was incomparably precious. One Origin Essence Pill could be exchanged for more than a hundred Fortune Pills. In their cultivation realm, they relied on Fortune Pills. Origin Essence Pills were distributed by their clans.
“Ye Feng, are you crazy?”
Tang Yan sent a sound transmission to Ye Feng. In her eyes, Ye Feng would lose without a doubt. Every year at the Lantern Festival, the Zhong Clan would take the lead. The poems, songs, fu, zither, chess, calligraphy and painting were all first-rate. Wasn’t Ye Feng courting death?
Moreover, Ye Feng had lost. Where could he find so many Origin Essence Pills? At that time, it would still be given by the clan.
With the current strength of the Tang Clan in Fire City, not to mention 40 million Essence Pill, it would be extremely difficult for them to take out 20 million.
“Thank you for your concern, Senior Sister Tang. If I lose, I won’t ask for a pill from the Tang Clan!”
Ye Feng’s tone was a little cold. Could it be that Tang Yan looked down on her and thought that she would definitely lose?
Tang Yan also recognized Ye Feng’s tone. She snorted coldly and stopped talking. She thought that after Ye Feng lost, he might choose to commit suicide, so that he wouldn’t drag down the Tang Family.
“Do you dare to bet? Just now, all of you repeatedly shouted, why are you dumb now!”
Looking at Zhong Qiang’s embarrassed appearance, Ye Feng revealed a look of disdain. The forty million Essence Pill smashed them into a daze.
“Ye Feng, there’s nothing that our Zhong Clan doesn’t dare to bet on. I’m afraid that you won’t be able to bring out so many things!”
Zhong Qiang pretended to be fatty, but he couldn’t take it out, thinking that Ye Feng couldn’t take it out either.
“You don’t have to worry about this. We both have families behind us. If we can’t bring them out, the family will definitely help us. If you’re worried, we can sign an agreement. If we can’t fulfill our promise, the family will pay for it!”
The corners of Ye Feng’s mouth revealed a bad smile, as if he was setting a trap, slowly seeping into it.
“Very good, I’ve been waiting for your words!”
Zhong Qiang also revealed a smile. He was also afraid that Ye Feng would not be able to produce such a multi-element Origin Pill if he lost. Now that he had the support of his clan, he naturally felt relieved. He even saw the Tang Clan owe them 40 million Essence Pill.
All the spectators in the surroundings restrained their expressions. At this moment, it was no longer a battle between the disciples of the two sides. Rather, it involved the entire clan. If the loser side lost, they might lose their fortune. Not to mention the Zhong Clan, even the Lan Clan could not afford it.
The two sides quickly signed an agreement and pressed their respective palms. Not only would the losing side lose to Essence Pill, they would also have to kowtow. This was one of the stakes.
“Zhong Qiang, since the interests of the clan are at stake, I suggest that the elders of the various clans be invited to do justice, as well as a few respected seniors of Fire City, as notaries!”
Seeing that there was no room for manoeuvre, Tang Yan stood up and said. To put it bluntly, she was still afraid that Ye Feng would suffer. She invited some respected seniors to invite the elders of the clan, which would be of great help to Ye Feng.
“That’s right, such a gamble involves too many benefits for the clan!”
A disciple of the Zhong Clan also realized that he hoped that the clan would send a senior to participate.
“Alright, I’ll send someone to invite him now!”
Both sides had their own clan disciples leave, and the other clans also sent out disciples, hoping to invite some elders from the clan to come.
Not long after, the news of the Lantern Festival spread throughout the city, especially the 40 million Essence Pill bets. It was even more vivid. How could Ye Feng deal with the Zhong Clan alone, and even put forward 40 million Essence Pill bets?
The Tang Clan’s Clan Head Tang Tian was the first to receive the news. Hearing such a big stake, a wonderful expression appeared on his face.
“This brat really won’t ease my mind!”
Tang Tian walked back and forth alone. At this moment, he did not know how the Tang Clan would react if Ye Feng really lost.
“Patriarch, you called us here overnight. What exactly happened?”
Tang Liangyun rubbed his sleepy eyes and was hugging his wife to sleep when he was suddenly woken up. Everyone felt a little uncomfortable.
At this time, a black-clothed man walked out of the door. It was Tang Qiu. The two of them had always been Tang Tian’s trusted aides.
Tang Tian briefly told them about the lantern festival. After hearing it, the two of them felt that it was unreal.
“What are we still standing there for? The matter has already reached this point. It’s too late to pursue it. Let’s hurry up and go, so that Ye Feng won’t suffer a loss.”
Tang Liangyun still had a good impression of Ye Feng. However, when such a thing happened, Tang Liangyun’s face was uncomfortable. After all, it involved the entire clan. If he lost, wouldn’t it mean that he would lose all of them? He might end up with the entire Tang Clan.
Actually, Ye Feng did not know all of this. The reason why Ye Feng proposed using the clan as his backing was actually because he was afraid that Zhong Qiang would renege. Ye Feng’s Cosmos Gourd could produce 100,000 Essence Pill every day, and 40 million was already enough.
Right now, not only the five great clans were alarmed, but also the second-rate clans and some of the seniors hiding in Fire City were also alarmed. They were all invited out to serve as notaries.
In less than an incense stick of time, the Brussels Cabbage River had long been filled with countless boats, and even the void was filled with figures.
Countless lights illuminated the Brussels Cabbage River as bright as day, and the figures on the boat could be clearly seen.
The first to arrive was the Lan Clan. A total of three people arrived. They were the Lan Clan’s Clan Master and two elders. The Lan Clan’s Clan Master couldn’t sit still and appeared one after another after another.
Secondly, the Youjia Clan, followed by the Zhong Clan, and very quickly Tang Tian also appeared. The Mo Clan was the last to show little interest in this kind of battle. Only the Mo Clan’s Clan Head did not appear, and only two elders appeared.
“Old Master Guo is here!”
Apart from the Mo Clan, the four Patriarchs nodded to each other. They had gathered together in one go like this. It was estimated that they hadn’t appeared once in ten years.
A white-bearded old man walked in. It was the respected old man of Fire City, Old Man Guo.
This person was born and raised in Fire City. When he was young, he was accepted as a disciple by the Ancestral Valley with the talent of Heaven’s Path. Afterwards, he was tired of the sect competition and became an elder of the Ancestral Valley. Finally, he was old and returned to Fire City.
However, no one dared to underestimate Master Guo. It was said that he had already lived for nearly two thousand years. The five masters were all courteous when they saw him. They didn’t dare to make any mistakes.
Firstly, he was an elder of the Ancestral Valley, and his status was the same as the elders of the five great clans. Secondly, his cultivation had already reached the sixth level of the Divine Martial Arts. In Fire City, he was definitely a top expert. Fortunately, Old Master Guo didn’t care about the world and focused on cultivating. He didn’t care about the matters of the five great clans.
Everyone stood up and bowed, not daring to offend Old Master Guo.
For an old monster of more than two thousand years, what was terrifying about such a person was not his cultivation, but his experience. This was what Ye Feng thought.
Old Master Guo smiled and waved his hand at everyone. This time, the Tang Clan and Zhong Clan sent people to invite him. Old Master Guo could not refuse, so he agreed to be a notary.
“Almost everyone has arrived. With Old Master Guo as a notary, our Zhong Clan is at ease. Please begin!”
The Zhong Clan’s Clan Master was getting impatient. This time, he brought two people along. One of them was Zhong Li. He looked at Ye Feng with a sinister expression.
The incident at the restaurant had already reached the ears of the Zhong Clan’s Clan Head, Zhong Yang. However, as the Clan Head, he did not show too much hostility. He wore a faint smile. At this moment, he had to maintain his demeanor as he gathered all the elites of Fire City.
“Let me say a few words first!”
Old Master Guo coughed a few times. Since he had been invited, as a notary public, he naturally had to say a few words.
“Old Master Guo, please speak!”
Tang Tian was very polite and asked Old Master Guo to speak.
“Today, I am honored to be invited to be a notary. I am very responsible for telling everyone that I will uphold a fair and impartial attitude and will not take sides. I even suggest that the five great clans send their own notaries to prevent any bias. Everyone will confirm with each other.”
Old Master Guo’s voice was very gentle, giving people a feeling that they could not refuse. This was the sixth level of the Divine Martial Arts. Even a single word made those fourth level of the Divine Martial Arts worship him.
“Yes, Old Master Guo’s suggestion is not bad. Each of our five families has a notary public, so that everyone can confirm with each other.”
Tang Tian was also afraid that the Zhong Clan would play tricks on him. This would also be beneficial. If there was a disagreement, he could discuss it.
“Since that’s the case, this old man will announce that you can compete!”
The rules had already been drafted. Both sides focused on zither, chess, calligraphy and painting. If they won a game, the losing side would have to pay 10 million Essence Pill as the price.
“Let me go first!”
It was not easy to wait until the beginning. At this time, a man from the Zhong Clan stood out. This man had the title of Qin Immortal. His weapon was a zither. It was even said that he was able to kill people with the zither music. He was also a very difficult character in the Zhong Clan.
