Chapter 3744 Modifying the Bet

As several people were talking, Zhao Xing, the Shopkeeper of the casino, rushed in from outside.

"Elder, someone has placed a three million cash bet at our casino…"

He had run over specifically to report this matter; originally, he was in charge of the casino, but after losing fifty million last time, he became extremely sensitive about bets concerning Ye Bufan.

Three million was not a small sum, so he hurried to report to the Grand Elder.

"Alright, I already know."

Zhao Qinglian waved his hand to stop him; the matter was already clear, there was no need to say it a second time.

Zhao Xingfeng said, "Elder, what do we do now? If Ye Bufan escapes, doesn't that mean we are destined to lose three hundred thousand celestial crystals?"

"Don't worry, there's still a way to resolve this."

As the Grand Elder, Zhao Qinglian was much calmer than the others and extremely cunning.

After a brief moment of thought, he looked at Zhao Xing: "How many celestial crystals does the casino have now?"

"Replying, Elder, including the customers' bets and our own capital, it's roughly three hundred million."

"The amount is a bit small, but it's enough."

Zhao Qinglian said, "Immediately hand this money over to Zhao Xingfeng."

"Yes!"

Although he didn't know what the Grand Elder intended to do, Zhao Xing didn't dare to hesitate and immediately took out a Storage Ring and handed it over.

Zhao Xingfeng didn't react for a moment, his face full of surprise.

"Elder, what do you mean by this?"

Zhao Qinglian smiled coldly: "We can transfer that three million bet.

As long as we place the bet at another casino, we won't have to bear the cost ourselves, and we can even make a huge profit."

Zhao Xingfeng's eyes lit up: "Elder is truly resourceful! Currently, the odds for Han Lingduan at all major casinos are ten to one.

If we bet these three hundred million celestial crystals, we'll get a thirty million return immediately."

Zhao Qinglian nodded, very satisfied with his decision.

Although thirty million still couldn't fully compensate for the fifty million previously lost to Ye Bufan, it recouped more than half, significantly reducing the losses.

"Go now, hurry, otherwise other Families will receive the news and quickly adjust the odds, and then we won't have such a large profit."

"Yes!"

Zhao Xingfeng took the Storage Ring and turned to leave.

"Wait a moment." Zhao Qinglian called him back again.

"Elder, do you have any other instructions?"

Zhao Qinglian revealed a sinister smile: "Don't go to other places; bet all of it at the Wei Family's casino."

"Understood, Elder."

As a core Disciple of the Zhao Family, he naturally knew the purpose of doing this: to severely坑 their old rival, the Wei Family.

Zhao Xingfeng agreed and hurried out.

Zhao Xing frowned slightly, feeling a bit uneasy; as the Shopkeeper of the casino, he understood gambling too well—everything was unknown until the result was obtained.

He hesitated and said, "Elder, isn't this a bit too risky?"

"Risky? Not at all!"

Zhao Qinglian was in a much better mood than before and recounted the information he had just received.

"The Ye has already left Yuangu City and is destined not to return alive; Han Lingduan will be the final victor.

So there's no suspense in this gamble; you immediately return to the casino and readjust the betting odds."

"So that's how it is."

After listening, Zhao Xing's doubts also vanished.

"Elder, what should I adjust it to?"

Zhao Qinglian thought for a moment; if the odds changed too much, it would arouse suspicion from others.

"How about this: Ye Bufan winning is one to twenty, and Han Lingduan winning is twenty to one."

"Yes!"

Zhao Xing agreed and also turned and walked out of the room.

Zhao Qinglian looked at the Black-Clothed Man in the room: "You immediately go and tell Zhao Xingkong to quickly get rid of the Ye.

Be quick; don't let others get to him first; that kid has two hundred million celestial crystals and a nine nether blood lotus on him, bring them all back to me.

Also, act with hidden identity.

After all, the Hundred Sects Tournament has rules against harming participating Disciples; you must do it seamlessly, leaving no flaws."

"Understood, Disciple will go now!"

The Black-Clothed Man agreed and hurried out.

With everyone gone, a sinister look flashed across Zhao Qinglian's face: "An ant from Dile Heaven dares to offend my Zhao Family; you are destined to die without a burial place!"

At the Four Directions Sword Sect's casino, although the Hundred Champions Competition was still two days away, it was bustling with activity and surging crowds.

Large battle rosters were posted on the walls, with odds marked next to each person, naturally including Ye Bufan versus Han Lingkuang.

Yuangu City was only so big, and the odds offered by various casinos were basically consistent, with no significant differences between them.

Ye Bufan winning was one to ten, and Han Lingduan winning was ten to one.

Shen Qiyun hid herself in a large black robe, completely covered, making it impossible to discern her appearance, or even that she was a woman.

She waited there as instructed by Ye Bufan, but the odds hadn't changed, so it wasn't time for her to place her bet yet.

She waited there for about a quarter of an hour when suddenly two Shopkeepers came out and changed the odds for Ye Bufan versus Han Lingkuang.

It changed from the previous one to ten to one to twenty, and Han Lingduan's ten to one also changed to twenty to one.

A glimmer of surprise flashed in Shen Qiyun's eyes; Senior Brother was truly brilliant, having already anticipated that the other party would raise the odds.

She no longer waited, directly called over a Shopkeeper, took out a Storage Ring, and placed a direct bet of twenty million middle-grade celestial crystals.

The Shopkeeper was utterly stunned; he had never seen such a large bet.

He quickly called over the Manager from the back, who was a Xiao Huzi Middle-aged Man.

When he confirmed that Shen Qiyun wanted to bet twenty million on Ye Bufan to win, he immediately beamed with joy.

He had just received secret information from the Family that Ye Bufan had escaped and absolutely could not return alive, which was why the odds were adjusted; he hadn't expected such a fool to bet so quickly, greedy for high odds.

In his opinion, these twenty million were free money, so he naturally wouldn't refuse, happily taking it into his pocket and issuing the casino's contract.

Shen Qiyun didn't waste any more words with him; after completing the transaction, she turned and left, quickly entering the nearby Han Family casino.

This time, the bet was ten million middle-grade celestial crystals; the reaction here was quite similar to that of the Four Directions Sword Sect, and the Manager happily accepted the bet.

Next was the Zhao Family casino, where she also bet ten million.

After doing all this, Shen Qiyun finally left, found a hidden place to change her clothes, and returned to the inn to wait.

The casino Managers, having received so much money, were overjoyed and immediately reported to their superiors.

After all, the bet was too large; it had to be reported to the Family.

Upon learning that someone had placed a heavy bet on Ye Bufan to win, the Zhao Family, Han Family, and Four Directions Sword Sect all solidified their resolve to kill him.

In the night, dozens of figures moved through the darkness, leaving Yuangu City and flying towards the outskirts of the city.
