Chapter 96 The Gambling Monster of the Chaotic Star Sea
After Qingfeng won, the entire stadium fell silent.
From beginning to end, it only takes three breaths?
This is unacceptable!
"Damn it! Give me back my spirit stone!"
"Nie Zheng has already lost?!"
"How is that possible? Qingfeng must have bribed them beforehand; he must have used underhanded tactics!"
At the gambling den, the crowd was in an uproar, with many people shouting that they had lost all their spirit stones.
The casino owner, who was running the betting operation, also looked grim, because three people had bet on Qingfeng to win, and on several large sums of spirit stones.
The gambling den not only failed to make a profit, but also lost a considerable amount of money.
Beside the Kui Xing Island arena, Xiao Dapeng, Du Yu Shusheng, and others had grim expressions, their previous arrogance gone.
On the high platform, beneath the statues of the two saints, sat three Nascent Soul elders from the Star Palace.
At this moment, Elder Gui and Elder Sun, who were sitting on either side of Jin Kui, turned their gazes toward the Kui Xing Island arena.
"Elder, is this Qingfeng Qing Sanyang's only son?"
The beautiful Elder Gui turned her head and asked.
"Yes."
Jin Kui gave a calm reply.
"If I'm not mistaken, that kid's spiritual sense is probably close to that of a Nascent Soul cultivator."
This doesn't quite match the rumored image of a spoiled brat.
Elder Sun, who was of slender build, said.
"The reason why the Three Yang Old Demon keeps his son so tightly under his belt is probably because his son is exceptionally talented and has a great chance of advancing to the Nascent Soul stage in the future."
Elder Gui's gaze was deep as he looked at Qingfeng's back on the arena below, his voice carrying a hint of understanding.
"At such a young age, he is already in the mid-stage of Core Formation, and his divine sense is so powerful... Looking at the younger generation of the entire Chaotic Star Sea, I'm afraid only that junior named Wen Tianren from Holy Demon Island can compare to him."
The lean Elder Sun stroked his short beard and commented.
"Sacred Demon Island, the disciple of the Six Paths Old Monster?"
Now that you mention it, they really are similar. They are of similar age, have similar cultivation levels, and even their cultivation techniques are both dual cultivation secret arts. Their spiritual sense is also far superior to those of others at the same level.
If these two juniors can both grow up, they will likely have a place in the future landscape of the Chaotic Star Sea.
The beautiful Elder Gui paused in her Star Pearl, a hint of interest flashing in her eyes.
"Sacred Demon Island? Heh."
Don't you all know what that old ghost Liudao is thinking?
Even if Wen Tianren is highly talented, he will probably be refined into an excellent backup demonic body as soon as he forms his Nascent Soul.
The better your aptitude, the faster you die.
At this moment, Jin Kui, sitting in the middle seat, sneered a few times.
Then, the tone shifted, becoming serious: "Kui Xing Island was bait we laid out; we've thoroughly investigated the backgrounds of those rogue cultivators."
The old monsters of both the righteous and demonic paths, after years of silence, have recently been making frequent moves; they seem unable to contain themselves any longer.
"Poison Feather Scholar has secret dealings with the Poison Dragon Society, while the rogue cultivator Yang Wei is suspected to be from the righteous Kaitianmen sect."
As for Xiao Dapeng of the Giant Whale Gang, he has some connections with the peripheral forces of Holy Demon Island.
Elder Gui's expression also became more serious as he spoke.
"Holy Demon Island..."
Elder Sun's eyes sharpened.
As direct descendants of the Star Palace, they were no strangers to the Six Supreme Saints of Holy Demon Island.
He is the older brother of Wen Qing, one of the two saints, and the number one beast in the Chaotic Star Sea who once tried to use his own sister to create a puppet.
He is ruthless and cruel, and his strength is so great that the Star Palace is unable to subdue him.
"The Chaotic Star Sea is too vast, and although the Star Palace is powerful, it is difficult to take care of every corner."
Although Kui Xing Island is not a particularly auspicious place, its location is crucial.
Whoever controls that area will have essentially driven a nail into the sea, both inside and outside the mainland.
The Six Paths want to reach out, and the Righteous Path also wants to test the waters, so let's just let the Three Yang Old Demon fight it out.
Jin Kui said in a calm tone.
"Although Qing Sanyang possesses peak cultivation at the Yuanzhong level, he's still no match for the old monsters from both the righteous and demonic paths. 'A Mortal's Journey: The Number One Prodigal Son of the Chaotic Star Sea' is currently being serialized on Cola Novels—don't miss it!"
Elder Gui said.
"It's alright. Qing Sanyang mainly cultivates thunder magic. No matter which force, righteous or demonic, wants to take down this tough nut, they'll have to break a few teeth."
Wild animals rarely allow themselves to get injured when they go out hunting.
They were all old foxes who had lived for thousands of years, and none of them were willing to fight to the death with someone at the peak of the Yuan realm.
It would be most beneficial for the Star Palace if they were wary of and fought each other.
Jin Kui looked at Qing Feng, who had already stepped off the stage.
This young man is the person Qing Sanyang cares about most. By using him, Qing Sanyang's thoughts can be indirectly influenced.
"The demonic path has lost an ally at the peak of the Yuan stage, but we have one less enemy to face. We've gained twice as much with one move in and one move out. The Grand Elder's plan is truly brilliant."
The slender Elder Sun exclaimed in admiration.
"Ninth Brother, stop flattering me. The third round of the competition will start in three days. You two can host it then."
I have a lot of things to take care of, so I won't be coming.
Jin Kui stood up and then transformed into a golden beam of light and disappeared.
"Let's go back too. All the elders in the Star Palace want a spot as one of the twelve island lords."
Elder Gui got up and left.
"Alas, we are beset by internal and external troubles; they are all parasites."
The thin Elder Sun also disappeared from the high platform.
As the matches on each arena came to an end, the crowd of onlookers dispersed.
Qingfeng then drove the float to the vicinity of the gambling den where the games were about to begin.
"Young master, we've really made a fortune in spirit stones this time!"
Wen Siyue said somewhat excitedly.
They bet a total of 20,000 spirit stones, and with Qingfeng's odds of 1 to 5, they made a killing.
It should be noted that even an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator might not have 100,000 spirit stones, such as the Fire Dragon Child.
"Hey, call me the Gambling Monster of Chaotic Star Sea."
Qingfeng opened the folding fan in his hand and said smugly.
When the girls saw him start to act silly, they all covered their mouths and chuckled.
"Such a large number of spirit stones is too conspicuous. Give me the tokens of your bets."
Qingfeng will go and collect the spirit stones himself.
These days, having so many lice makes you itch-free; it's best if he comes to stir up hatred.
The noise from the gambling den had not yet subsided. At this moment, a few cultivators were still gathered around, unwilling to leave. Most of them had lost all their possessions, while a few had won a little money and were happily counting their spirit stones.
Qingfeng closed his folding fan and walked over.
His appearance naturally attracted the attention of the surrounding cultivators.
"Win the prize."
Qingfeng slammed the three betting tokens onto the counter.
The gambling den owner was a short, stout man at the Core Formation stage. He was dealing with a few small gamblers when he caught a glimpse of the markings on the three tokens and his expression immediately changed.
He looked up at Qingfeng, then quickly lowered his gaze again.
"Isn't this Fellow Daoist Qingfeng? Today, Fellow Daoist displayed great power and defeated Nie Zheng. It's truly unbelievable!"
The short, stout man cupped his hands and smiled.
However, Qingfeng remained aloof and didn't respond, only pushing the three tokens towards him.
The short, stout man's gaze fell on the token: 20,000 spirit stones, bet on Qingfeng to win, odds of 1 to 50,000 - 100,000.
He remembered that these three bets were placed by three different people.
At the time, he thought it was some gambler trying to make a big bet. Such things were not uncommon. He had been running a gambling den for so many years and knew how to deal with them.
But never imagined...
The person who came to collect the prize was the young master of Qingyang Sect himself.
"Oh no, I've been tricked!"
The casino owner cried out in his heart, filled with grief and indignation.
