Chapter 3754: Work Hard

Ye Bufan was very satisfied with this effect and gave the remaining six Medicinal Pills to Situ Dianmo, telling her to take them at an appropriate time later.

The two of them left the Dragon King Palace, and Situ Dianmo immediately went back to her room to consolidate her cultivation.

Ye Bufan called Luo Bingyan and Shen Qiyun over. Among all the women, they were the weakest, still Great Luo Immortals.

Now that he had reached the Immortal King realm, he could use tonight to help them improve.

After explaining his intentions, Ye Bufan looked at the two women before him. One was like ice, the other like fire, yet both were equally stunning.

“Time is limited tonight, I can only help one person improve. Who wants to go first?”

Shen Qiyun was quick to say, “Of course, I’ll go first!”

“Why?”

Luo Bingyan refused to yield, “I’ll go first.”

The two had always been at odds, and Shen Qiyun naturally wouldn’t back down. “You haven’t fully developed yet, what’s the rush?”

“You’re ugly, go to the back of the line…”

“You’re the ugly one, you’re just an undeveloped block of ice…”

“You are ugly, aren’t you convinced?”

“What if I’m not convinced? Are you going to fight me?”

“If you want to fight, then fight. Do you think I’m afraid of you?”

Luo Bingyan was originally a woman of few words, but when bickering with Shen Qiyun, she seemed like a different person, not giving an inch.

“Uh…”

Seeing the two women start arguing at the drop of a hat, looking as if they would come to blows, Ye Bufan quickly stopped them.

“Alright, alright, don’t argue about this kind of thing. Let’s talk it out.”

He now regretted it a bit. If he had known this, he would have just chosen one himself. Why bother consulting them?

Luo Bingyan snorted coldly, “I don’t care, I’m going first no matter what.”

Shen Qiyun pouted, “It doesn’t matter what number I am, as long as I’m before her.”

“Don’t dream, how could I be after you…”

“What’s wrong? I’m going to be before you…”

Seeing the two start arguing again, Ye Bufan quickly stopped them.

He looked at Shen Qiyun, “Are you sure you won’t yield?”

“Of course. Why should I yield to an undeveloped woman?”

Ye Bufan then looked at Luo Bingyan, “You won’t compromise either?”

“Of course not. Why should I be after an ugly woman?”

“Since neither of you wants to be last, then let’s do it together.”

After speaking, Ye Bufan directly embraced both of them and entered the Dragon King Palace together.

There was no way to persuade them. Since neither was willing to be last, he would just have to work harder and take both.

Early the next morning, the three reappeared in the room.

At this moment, Shen Qiyun was as vibrant as a flower, and even the usually cold Luo Bingyan had a blush on her cheeks.

Ye Bufan wore a smug smile, full of energy.

“Let’s go, we’re going out.”

The three left the room. Today was the day the Hundred Sects Hegemony Battle began, and everyone was already waiting outside.

After leaving, Ye Bufan led the group out of the inn and headed to the training ground.

At the Four Directions Sword Sect, Grand Elder Jian Feiyang sat in the center, his expression terribly grim.

Beside him stood the Sect’s Core Disciples, only four of whom were preparing to participate in today’s Hundred Sects Hegemony Battle.

He looked at a middle-aged man beside him, who was the Four Directions Sword Sect’s general manager in Yuangu City.

“It’s already this late, and there’s still no news from Jian Juechen?”

“Elder, there is truly no news, nor any clues.”

The middle-aged man shook his head, his face full of helplessness.

In the past few days, the Four Directions Sword Sect had mobilized all its strength, almost deploying everyone in Yuangu City.

But after three days of searching, there was still no sign of Jian Juechen.

Jian Feiyang sighed, his last shred of hope completely extinguished. It seemed this Disciple could not be found.

He looked at the middle-aged man, “How’s the gambling house? No trouble there, right?”

The person was already gone; there must not be any more significant losses at the gambling house, otherwise, he would have no way to explain to the Sect Master upon returning.

“The gambling house is fine. The betting on Young Master Jian Juechen has been completely sealed off.”

After Jian Juechen went missing, he received the news and immediately handled it at the gambling house, preventing anyone from taking advantage to place bets.

He then continued, “The current problem is the match between Ye Bufan and Han Lingduan. I don’t know who it was, but they actually bet twenty million on Ye Bufan to win, with odds of one to twenty.”

Initially, they had set the odds for this match at one to ten, but when Ye Bufan went missing, it was changed to one to twenty.

After he returned, it was changed back to one to ten, all based on what was written in the contract.

He was most worried about this match because the disparity between the two sides of the bet was too great. That was twenty million middle-grade celestial crystals, while the bets on Han Lingduan combined were only a few million.

In other words, if Ye Bufan won, their casino would have to pay out four hundred million from this one match alone, which would even make the Four Directions Sword Sect feel the pinch.

“There’s no need to fear that.”

Jian Feiyang seemed extremely calm.

“That Ye is just a Great Luo Immortal. There’s no way he can win this match, no matter how it’s fought.

Trust the Han Family, trust Han Lingduan. That twenty million bet is just free money, nothing to worry about.”

The Zhao Family had already been eliminated and had no competition tasks, making them relatively relaxed.

But from another perspective, as one of the seven great Families, this was a disgrace, and everyone felt very heavy-hearted.

After searching for a long time and still not finding Zhao Xingkong, they had also given up hope.

Now, the entire Zhao Family’s biggest concern was the match between Ye Bufan and Han Lingduan. Not only did their own gambling house receive a ten million bet on Ye Bufan to win,

they also placed a three hundred million bet at the Wei Family’s gambling house, all on Han Lingduan.

In other words, if Han Lingduan won, everyone would be happy, but if Ye Bufan won, they would have to pay out a whopping five hundred million.

They previously thought that Ye Bufan had already left Yuangu City and would never return, so their bet was like picking up money, like scamming the Wei Family.

But now that he had returned completely unharmed, things had become more uncertain.

Zhao Xing, the gambling house manager, said with some worry, “Elder, do you think that Ye will actually win?”

Before Zhao Qinglian could speak, Zhao Xingfeng shook his head.

“What are you talking about? Ye Bufan is just a Great Luo Immortal. What right does he have to defeat Han Lingduan, who is an Immortal King Peak!

Between the two, one is an ant, the other an elephant. There’s simply no comparison.”

After he finished speaking, the people around him nodded, as if this could alleviate some of the heavy pressure in their hearts.

Zhao Qinglian also said, “That’s right. Han Lingduan is a Core Disciple of the Han Family, exceptionally talented, and his cultivation has already reached Immortal King Peak. There’s no way a mere Great Luo Immortal can compare to him.

So we must trust the Han Family, trust Han Lingduan. This match is a sure win!”

Compared to the confidence of the Four Directions Sword Sect and the Zhao Family, the atmosphere in the Han Family was incredibly heavy at this moment.

Han Lingkuang’s disappearance meant the loss of a Core Disciple, a Genius of the Immortal Lord level.

But then Han Lingduan also went missing, resulting in a loss of both person and wealth.

It should be known that the Han Family’s gambling house had accepted a ten million bet for this great battle, and now there was no one to even participate.

In this situation, let alone winning, as soon as the match began, they would be declared losers and would immediately have to pay out a full two hundred million celestial crystals.
