Chapter 3761 Zhao Xingtian

Inside the Zhao Family's deliberation hall, Grand Elder Zhao Qinglian sat in the center, his expression terribly grim.

The Zhao Family had been full of confidence for this Hundred Sects Tournament, but they were eliminated in the group stage, Zhao Xingyun lost his Physical Body, and Zhao Xingkong was neither seen alive nor dead.

Most crucially, they also lost the bet on Ye Bufan.

Their Family had bet three hundred million and lost everything, and now the other party was here to collect the winnings, demanding another two hundred million.

Zhao Xing, the casino manager, stood there, looking anxious. "Elder, what should we do now?

The Black-Clothed Man who placed the bet has not only come to the casino, but he also has an unknown number of people following him. This matter has almost spread throughout half of Yuangu City."

Zhao Qinglian's face grew even uglier, and a chilling killing intent emanated from his entire body, clearly indicating that he was enraged to the extreme.

But there was no use getting angry about such a thing; a loss was a loss, and now there were two choices.

Either refuse to honor the bet, in which case the Zhao Family's reputation would be completely ruined; not to mention Yuangu City, even the casinos in the entire Middle Heaven Region would probably not be able to operate.

The other option was to honor the bet, but the loss was simply too great.

Having already lost three hundred million, where would they get another two hundred million in celestial crystals now?

Everyone present clearly understood this, and no one had any good ideas, standing there with their heads bowed, not daring to even breathe loudly.

Zhao Qinglian pondered for a long time, but the matter still had to be resolved.

"How many celestial crystals does the casino still have?"

Zhao Xing lowered his head and said, "Aside from the Ye Bufan bet, we still earned a lot this time, plus recent wagers, I have about one hundred million in hand."

"Alright then, take this Storage Ring; there's one hundred million celestial crystals inside. You can pay the bet first."

Zhao Qinglian ultimately did not choose to renege on the debt; in fact, he didn't dare to, otherwise the Zhao Family's losses would absolutely not be just a few hundred million celestial crystals.

As he spoke, he flicked his finger, and a Storage Ring fell into Zhao Xing's hand.

As the Grand Elder of the Zhao Family, he held half of the financial power, and what he had just used was the Zhao Family's celestial crystal reserves.

"Yes!"

Zhao Xing agreed, took the ring, and turned to run back. The sooner this matter was handled, the better, otherwise the casino's business would be greatly affected.

"Elder, are we just going to give the money to that person like this?"

Zhao Xingfeng was full of unwillingness; that was two hundred million celestial crystals, a huge sum even for the Zhao Family, definitely not a small amount.

"It won't be that easy to take my Zhao Family's money."

A chilling killing intent flashed in Zhao Qinglian's eyes.

From the bottom of his heart, he understood the thoughts of the Four Directions Sword Sect and the Han Family, but he was now forced into a desperate situation.

Being eliminated first in the Hundred Sects Tournament, losing face, and losing two Core Disciples, and now having to take out so much money, even using the Zhao Family's reserve celestial crystals—how was he supposed to explain this to the Sect Leader when he returned?

Zhao Xingfeng's heart stirred: "Elder, should I go follow that person and find an opportunity to kill him and retrieve the celestial crystals?"

"You can't!"

Zhao Qinglian shook his head. This matter was too important; it had to succeed and could not fail, and under no circumstances could the outside world know that the Zhao Family would do such a thing.

His identity was too special, making it inconvenient for him to leave Yuangu City casually, so he had to send his Disciples to do it.

Although Zhao Xingfeng was also an Immortal Lord-level expert, his strength was still a bit weak, which made Zhao Qinglian uneasy.

"Xingtian, you go do this!"

His gaze turned to a middle-aged man beside him, Zhao Xingtian, a Core Disciple of the Zhao Family, with a Cultivation at the Immortal Lord Late Stage.

However, he was already over two thousand years old and did not qualify for the Hundred Sects Tournament.

"Yes, Elder!"

Zhao Xingtian agreed and turned to walk out the door.

Ye Bufan waited for a long time in front of the Zhao Family's casino. More and more people gathered around, and finally, Zhao Xing rushed back in a hurry.

After honoring the bet, he took the money and left without stopping, turning to walk away.

The surrounding crowd still followed behind, wanting to see where this person was going and if he would go to other casinos to collect winnings.

But unexpectedly, Ye Bufan did not stop this time, directly left the city gate, and sped towards the north.

"Is this guy crazy? He took the money and still dares to leave Yuangu City?"

The surrounding crowd stared dumbfounded. Normally speaking, Ye Bufan had earned a total of eight hundred million Medium Grade celestial crystals, plus the forty million he bet, which was eight hundred forty million.

Carrying so much money, instead of honestly finding a place to hide, he actually dared to run outside the city. How was this any different from seeking death?

Some of these people were astonished, while others were overjoyed, and they also followed closely.

Killing and seizing treasures were common practices in the Immortal Realm, and these people naturally wouldn't let go of such an opportunity. Once they got so many celestial crystals, they would have enough Cultivation resources for a lifetime.

But after leaving the city, they found that their ideas were beautiful, but reality was difficult to achieve.

The other person's speed was simply too fast; in the blink of an eye, he had disappeared into the sky. Even if they used all their might, they couldn't even see his back.

No wonder he dared to leave; it turned out he had such a reliance.

Most of the people following behind were Great Luo Immortals, with a few Immortal Kings, and very few Immortal Lord-level experts were here to join the fun.

Precisely because of this, they couldn't keep up with his speed and were quickly left completely behind.

Ye Bufan galloped all the way, knowing that with so many celestial crystals, someone would definitely follow him, and the people from the three great Families might make a move again.

Inside Yuangu City, although these people would have some scruples, his every move was also under their scrutiny, making it easy for his true identity to be exposed.

In this situation, the best way to escape was to leave Yuangu City and then find an opportunity to eliminate the people behind him.

His Physical Body was now extremely powerful, and with his Undying Golden Body Realm, he was no less inferior to any Immortal Lord Peak.

In this situation, as long as it wasn't an Immortal Venerable following him, he would be able to resolve the situation.

He galloped for a hundred thousand miles, and just then, a figure appeared from the darkness, reaching his back in the blink of an eye.

"Kid, stop right there!"

This person's speed was simply too fast; as soon as his voice fell, he had already reached Ye Bufan, blocking his path.

"You're from the Zhao Family?"

Ye Bufan stopped. Standing before him was a middle-aged man, whose features bore some resemblance to Zhao Xingyun and others, making it easy to guess that he was an expert sent by the Zhao Family.

It was indeed Zhao Xingtian. As an Immortal Lord Late Stage expert, he had his own pride and didn't even bother to wear a mask.

In his opinion, as soon as he made a move, the person in front of him would already be a dead man.

"You dare to take my Zhao Family's celestial crystals, go to hell!"

As he spoke, Zhao Xingtian's Aura suddenly erupted, and he reached out to grab.

But just then, a figure appeared behind him, punching him in the back of the heart.

"This…"

Zhao Xingtian, who had been full of confidence, instantly changed his expression. He hadn't expected there to be another person hidden here, and he hadn't discovered him before.

Moreover, from the power of this punch, it was clear that this was definitely a super expert, whose strength was even above his own. In his great alarm, he no longer cared about Ye Bufan in front of him and countered with a punch.
