Chapter 429: Yan Family Gambling House

On the second day, all the team leaders were gathered in the square outside the Liehai Hall. Then, Liehai City Lord Ma Ming appeared again. Along with him, there was also a very unfamiliar Yuanying monk.

When the Yuanying monk looked at the many team leaders on the square, there was a very strange smile on his face. His consciousness swept all the people on the square unscrupulously, shocking many team leaders.

This old man seemed to be unaware of this. He was holding a talisman pen and a bamboo book in his hand. While observing everyone, he was recording something on the bamboo slip.

In response to this man's behavior, Liehai City Lord Ma Ming not only did not speak out to stop him, but also explained something to him from time to time. After the old man had almost finished recording, he stopped writing and turned his eyes to Ma Ming.

Seeing this, Ma Ming announced the relevant rules and procedures of the Liehai battle assessment on the spot, and informed all team leaders that from today on, they would have a three-day holiday. All the Lords can use these three days to make full preparations for the upcoming Lord Assessment Battle and adjust their status so that they can perform better in the battle. The rules and procedures he announced are exactly the same as those given to Wu Yan by Tian Suanzi.

After announcing these, Ma Ming also informed everyone that the assessment location is still in the square of the Liehai Hall. However, a special space formation of the Nine Palaces and Eight Diagrams Battle Platform will be arranged on the square, and the battle will be held in this space formation. At that time, most of the Nascent Soul cultivators in Liehai City will come to serve as the judges of the battle. And in this Nine Palaces and Eight Diagrams Space Formation, there are also a large number of spectator seats. At that time, the prominent figures in Liehai City will come to watch this peak showdown.

After preaching this matter, Lord Ma Ming directly led the strange Nascent Soul cultivator away from here.

Those who knew the strange Nascent Soul cultivator, after seeing them leave, gathered in twos and threes and talked excitedly.

Wu Yan stood in the crowd, listening quietly to everyone's discussion. After a while, he finally figured out who the Nascent Soul cultivator was and what he was doing just now.

However, after knowing what the Nascent Soul cultivator did, Wu Yan was a little amused.

All along, Wu Yan felt that a true cultivator should be pure-hearted and free from desires, and that it is the right way to cultivate the Tao. Who would have thought that the world of cultivation is similar to the mortal world, with all kinds of things everywhere.

It turned out that the Nascent Soul cultivator, named Yan Fu, was a Nascent Soul ancestor of the Yan family, one of the four great families in the Liehai Alliance, who was responsible for handling the family's external affairs.

The four great families each have their own different businesses in Liehai City.

The Ma family opened the largest trading auction house in the entire Liehai City, the Ma's Auction House. Basically, all the most high-end cultivation resources in the entire Liehai City are concentrated in this auction house.

The Wang family controls the largest spiritual coin storage and exchange business in the entire Liehai City. Their Wang family's Spirit Coin Shop and Pawn Shop almost control about 80% of the Spirit Coin exchange and Spirit Object pawning in Liehai City. Many cultivators in Liehai City have almost stored and borrowed Spirit Coins in Wang's Spirit Coin Shop. As for the various things pawned, it is even more impossible to count.

Mingxi Building opened by the Ni family is the largest spiritual object trading place in the entire Liehai City.

The Yan family is also interesting. Seeing that the most important industries are monopolized and controlled by the other three families, they took a different approach and opened the largest Colosseum and gambling house in Liehai City.

Who would have thought that the interest and desire of cultivators for gambling are several times stronger than that of mortals?

Since the Yan family opened the Colosseum and gambling house, its annual income is even more than that of the Ma family's auction house.

Yan Fu of the Yan family is indeed very shrewd in business. He saw that this battle would surely attract the attention of everyone in Liehai City, so he bought the observation seats and gambling rights for this battle assessment early.

According to the discussion of the monks just now, there are at least tens of thousands of observation seats this time. The Yan family even set different observation seats according to different groups of people. These seats are also divided into VIP seats, elite seats and ordinary seats.

Long before the assessment battle began, it is said that all the seats have been sold out except for some mysterious monks with special status. The Yan family made a lot of money just from selling these observation seats.

And this old man came here to watch these Lords before the assessment, just to personally survey everyone's cultivation, aura, spiritual power, etc., so as to serve as the basis for the gambling house to open the odds.

Many of these people have begun to discuss whether they should go to the Yan family gambling house to check whether the odds have been released, whether they should go and bet on it, etc.

After listening to these people's discussions, Wu Yan walked back with a slight thought in his heart.

After returning to the barracks, Wu Yan had just sat down and prepared to meditate for three days. Finally, he checked and sorted out his methods to see if there was anything missing. At this time, Tan Chao had finished getting information and came back to report to him.

Seeing Tan Chao and Xing Xiao walking in together, Wu Yan smiled at them and motioned Tan Chao to tell him about the information he had found out this time.

After Tan Chao and Xing Xiao saluted respectfully, Tan Chao began to tell the story. Xing Xiao would add a sentence or two beside him from time to time. Since he was going to get all the information related to the assessment battle, Tan Chao was naturally very careful. After all, this was related to Wu Yan's personal interests.

However, it is a pity that peripheral cultivators like them were unable to find out the truly core and useful information at all. They could only find out some gossipy information. Wu Yan listened carefully and did not interrupt the two men's stories.

Finally, Tan Chao talked about the handicap offered by Yanjia Gambling House. What he told was not much different from what Wu Yan listened to in the square today, but it was just a little more detailed.

But there was one thing among them that really made Wu Yan interested.

"Your Majesty, it is said that the handicap offered by the Yan family's gambling house this time was set by a Yuan Ying ancestor of the Yan family after personally inspecting all the Lords. This is what their gambling house sent out. Please let me have a look at the detailed table of handicap odds." Tan Chao said, taking out a few thin golden papers from his sleeves and handing them to Wu Yan with a strange expression.

After Wu Yan took over the detailed tables of the handicap odds, he saw that the two of them had nothing to do, so he motioned for them to do their own thing. However, before the two of them turned to leave, Wu Yan noticed that Xing Xiao seemed to have a trace of sadness and depression on his face, and with a slight move in his heart, he left him alone.

After Tan Chao left, Wu Yan looked at Xing Xiao calmly and asked, "Old Xing, you seem to have something on your mind?"

Xing Xiao's body trembled slightly, a wry smile appeared on his face, and he hurriedly said: "My lord, what can my subordinates have on their minds? It's just some small things. Your lord doesn't have to worry about your subordinates, they can handle it themselves." "

Seeing that Xing Xiao didn't seem to have any intention of telling what was on his mind, Wu Yan nodded slightly and motioned for him to leave. Xing Xiao looked a little sad, turned around and walked out.

"Xing Xiao, you twenty-three people have followed me through life and death. No one can replace your position in my heart. You are my closest friends. Don't think nonsense and just do your job. As long as I am here, who dares to I will never let him go if he hurts you. Tan Chao is cautious and thoughtful in his dealings. You should learn more from him. I will make great use of you in the future when we rebuild the Dawn Sect. Don't let me down."

Just when Xing Xiao was about to walk out of the quiet room, Wu Yan suddenly spoke and said these words in Xing Xiao's ear using the technique of spiritual sound transmission. Xing Xiao's body suddenly trembled, with a look of great joy and gratitude on his face. He turned around with great excitement, knelt on the ground, kowtowed respectfully to Wu Yan, and said, "Thank you so much for your great kindness, Lord. I will treat you with all my heart." Report to the Lord! My subordinates are on their way to work!”

At this moment, Xing Xiao felt that all the sadness and grievances in his chest had disappeared, and all that was left was his gratitude to Wu Yan for his kindness. His voice was choked with sobs, he wiped the corners of his eyes and withdrew respectfully.

During this period of time, Wu Yan almost handed over all the team's affairs to Tan Chao, which should have been handled by his earliest and most loyal confidant. However, Wu Yan was his master, and he was very kind to him. Naturally, he did not dare to have any thoughts or complaints about Wu Yan. However, he was full of hostility towards Tan Chao. These emotions have been accumulating in his heart without any outlet. Originally, he thought that Wu Yan no longer valued him, but he didn't expect that Wu Yan had not forgotten him, but truly regarded their earliest disciples who followed him as his confidants, just because his talents were not as good as those of Tan Chao. Only then did this seemingly cold reception occur.

Now that he heard Wu Yan's honest words, how could he not understand Wu Yan's painstaking efforts? Therefore, at this time, he no longer had any depression and sorrow, and was content to do his part.

Wu Yan smiled slightly, of course he knew everything about the situation of the disciples in his team. However, these things were insignificant compared to the Hunting Sea War, so he didn't take it to heart. However, there are some things and certain words that he must clarify to his disciples. Otherwise, letting these people keep their complaints in their hearts will hinder their practice and leave hidden dangers in the future. Xing Xiao is a smart person who knows everything right. Moreover, his status in the minds of that group of disciples was simply not comparable to that of Tan Chao. When his Qi is in harmony, the Qi of those disciples below him will also be in harmony.

Seeing Xing Xiao walking out with tears in his eyes, Wu Yan smiled and shook his head, turning his attention to the golden page in his hand.

On the page, the names of the sixty-four mid-level team commanders were listed in detail, and the specific banker handicap odds were also listed on it, making it clear at a glance.

On the last page of gold paper, there are the names of one hundred and twenty low-level team leaders and the banker's odds.

This casino has two betting methods: dead bet and live bet. A dead bet is a bet placed before the battle assessment begins. According to the handicap issued by the casino, the bet position is selected and ends on a limited date. No further changes are allowed regardless of any circumstances. Once the bet is correct in the future, the bet can be paid out at double the original odds. Live bets, on the other hand, are more volatile. As long as the battle does not end in one day, you can continue to place bets throughout the day.

It lists in detail the odds of the top ten from first to tenth, the odds of the top twenty, the odds of the top thirty, etc.
