Among the guards of Shenmu City, Li Liangyu cursed in his heart. Although he always showed himself to be mature and prudent, he did not care at all about the fight with Han Bo.
Nowadays, rumors are spreading in Shenmu City, and people are less and less optimistic about him. Han Bo's voice is getting louder and louder. It must be a lie to say that it has no impact at all.
It's just that these rumors only slandered him and did not do much harm to the interests of Shenmu City. In addition, he knew that the people spreading the rumors were extraordinary, so Li Liangyu had no choice but to get angry at them.
"Liangyu disciple, why are you so angry?"
Just when Li Liangyu's face was dark and angry, a figure walked in from outside. Li Liangyu quickly stood up and saluted. This person was Li Liangyu's master Wang Honghua. Wang Honghua was not only a golden monk, but also the son-in-law of the Li family and the master of the twins of the Li family.
The foreign affairs elder of Shenmu Sect.
Facing his master, Li Liangyu had nothing to hide, so he told the whole story and asked his master to make the decision for him.
"I asked why the wind direction in Shenmu City is wrong. Then I also know Han Bo's character. He is not such a treacherous person, but that Lin Xiao is a bit brave. Even with a mere aura, he dares to get involved in this matter.
, Liangyu, does he know this person’s roots?”
"I don't know. I've never heard of this person around Han Bo before. Lin Xiao claims to be Han Bo's close friend. He may be a friend in the world."
"The surname Lin is also a common surname in Central Continent. There are seven powerful forces ranked high. I don't know which family this Lin Xiao is a descendant of. But since they have already done this, why don't I just accept it?"
"Master, I think this matter is inappropriate. Not to mention my personal reputation, it is not worthwhile to offend Tang Yulin and dozens of others."
Although tens of millions of Xuanjing are many, Li Liangyu is not willing to exchange them for this. Tang Yulin and the others are really nothing, but their elders are all big bosses.
"It doesn't matter, they are just a bunch of guys waiting to die. Their elders will not punish you for this. I really think I am a vegetarian. They act so unprovoked and may cause trouble in the future. This can be regarded as a reward.
A little lesson from them”
"Yes, since Master said it, then I will agree and have a fake fight with Han Bo."
"Liangyu seems to want to have a fight with Han Bo?"
"That's right, although Han Bo's cultivation level is low, his swordsmanship is strong. I have investigated Han Bo's thirty-eight battles. His cultivation level is only two or three levels higher than his. Basically, he was defeated. Although there are some
He was defeated in six games, but it was also because his cultivation level was too different. Now that several years have passed, he should be able to fight with me."
Li Liangyu replied that Han Bo was able to challenge repeatedly not because of his status. In terms of status alone, no one he challenged was bad. It was also because he was strong in combat, so those who were challenged also wanted to borrow his hand.
, polish yourself.
"Having this thought is enough. The sword skills practiced by Han Bo are extremely domineering. In order to create an invincible mind, if you can defeat him openly, it will be quite beneficial to you. Even if you lose, it doesn't matter. In the world of immortal cultivation,
If one battle determines victory or defeat, we will not fight for the invincibility."
"Yes, Master, disciple understands"
"That's good. I'll build an arena for you. We'll fight again and again, but we can't destroy Shenmu City."
Wang Honghua nodded. He came to Shenmu City this time just to build an arena. If the arena was not reinforced with magical formations and they were left to fight, the battle between Shenxu would be enough to destroy half of Shenmu City.
After Wang Honghua left, Li Liangyu sent a message to Han Bo. Soon, Han Bo secretly sneaked into the city guard and signed a contract with Li Liangyu. Both parties made an oath that the first fight would be a fake fight, just to short Qian Fuxing, Tang Yulin and others.
For the handicap opened by others, the specific details of the actual bet will be determined after the fake bet.
After the incident was over, Li Liangyu used the power of the Shenmu City guards to arrest many casual cultivators who spread rumors. Li Liangyu did not deal with these people harshly. He just scolded and whipped them and then drove them out of Shenmu City, and made it clear,
This matter was commissioned by Han Bo, because the previous words were all rumors, for example, Han Bo was still on the second level of Shenxu, which caused an uproar in the public opinion of Shenmu City.
········
A luxurious inn in Shenmu City has been booked by Tang Yulin and his party. In addition to a dozen core second generations, Tang Yulin and his party also have many servants, subordinates, and even many followers.
There are a total of fifty or sixty guards sent by the family. Everywhere they go, they have to book an inn, and then do publicity, open the market, and use Hanbo to make money.
Among the thirty-eight games that Han Bo challenged, more than twenty of them had handicap openings, which also made them a lot of money. To be honest, if Han Bo hadn't been so inexperienced,
And they have a bad temper. They all want to cooperate with Han Bo to harvest the wealth of those who like gambling.
However, Shenmu City has made them feel extremely troubled this time, because rumors have been circulating these days, making the originally clear gambling situation more confusing.
"Young Master Tang, the city guard of Shenmu City just issued an announcement. It was said that Han Bo went to the city guard to file a complaint. Someone made rumors and slander, arrested a group of casual cultivators and expelled them from the city. This is the announcement."
"Han Bo has just recovered from his injury, and his cultivation is only at the second level of the Divine Void. There are rumors in the city. Oh no, Han Bo's odds are going to increase again."
"Master Tang, why has it increased? The increase in the odds of Han Bo is good for us, isn't it? Those gamblers are very gambling, and Li Liangyu, who has odds of a few or a few, is not the focus of their bets, and Han Bo's odds are not the focus of their bets.
He must not be Li Liangyu’s opponent.”
"Young Master Qian, don't you understand yet that there are people in Shenmu City who are working against us?"
"Ah, what do you mean? Who dares to go against us? Is it someone from the Shenmu Sect?"
Qian Fuxing, who was standing aside, suddenly widened his eyes, with a look of evil on his face. After more than twenty challenges, they had made a lot of money. A group of second-generation people thought they had found a stable source of income, and they could make quick money.
That kind of, the thoughts all over the body have long been blocked by countless mysterious crystals, how can they think of anything else, they just feel that this is what they should earn, and now if someone goes against them, won't they want to destroy their jobs?
"Rumors are spreading in Shenmu City. It's obvious that someone is using rumors to control public opinion. I'm afraid someone knows the inside story and wants to use this to short us."
"This is impossible. Who else knows Han Bo's combat power better than us? We have bribed the two waiters around him. We have first-hand knowledge of Han Bo's condition and his evaluation of the enemy.
Could it be that Han Bo did it himself, knowing that he couldn't win, so he wanted to make a profit from the handicap?"
"No, Han Bo is not that smart. He is a simple swordsman who knows nothing except practicing and practicing swordsmanship. And he is not short of money."
"Who could that be?"
"That's why I think it's unreliable. The rumors in the city are not spread by us. I always feel that a third force is involved."
"That can't be someone from the Shenmu Sect, right?"
"How is it possible? Even if the Shenmu Sect is going to end, it has to win over Li Liangyu. There is no reason to win over others."
"Master Tang is right, so what should we do now, or else stop betting?"
“How big is the handicap now?”
"Master Tang, Mr. Qian, the handicap is already very big now. More than a thousand people beat Li Liangyu, betting 73 million, and more than 600 people beat Han Bo, about 30 million.
More than 300 people placed bets on the newly opened tie market, and more than 40 million were placed. Li Liangyu's odds are now 1.7, Han Bo's odds have dropped to 3.5, and the odds for a tie are 5.6."
"The odds of a tie are so high. If they tie, not only will we waste so much time, but we will also have to pay 20 million Xuanjing? No, no, this won't work. Find a way to lower the odds of a tie."
When Tang Yulin heard this, he immediately felt something bad. As the chief think tank of this team, he was considered the smartest one, and he also built this team of dudes.
"Master Tang, there are a lot of people gathered below the inn now, how can we suppress them?"
"Master Tang, how about this? Our handicap only recognizes the betting slips and not the people anyway. How about we send some people to spread the news, and then we also place bets ourselves to muddy the waters?"
"You can have this, but who do you think will win this time and who will we do?"
"Li Liangyu, after all, he is on the sixth level of Shenxu. The names of the Shenmu Twins are very resounding."
"We also all think that Li Liangyu will win. Han Bo has never won against a monk whose cultivation level is higher than four levels. Moreover, Li Liangyu is not mediocre. There is no reason to be worse than Han Bo. We think that ordinary gods at the seventh or eighth level may not be able to win.
Better than Li Liangyu"
"Then do what Li Liangyu did and raise the odds of Han Bo to attract more people to beat Han Bo. Also lower the odds of a tie to about five. Also tell me, today is the last day to place bets, and tomorrow
Rest, the duel the day after tomorrow will be subject to the judgment of the Shenmu Sect."
Tang Yulin suppressed the uneasiness in his heart. He was the banker, and the banker should not lose money. Kill two families and pay for one. As long as the total number is correct, he will always benefit. It is just a matter of making more or less.
.
After Tang Yulin gave the order, the lobby of the inn where they stayed was suddenly overcrowded. Although gambling was banned in Shenmu City, the ban was on long-term casinos. For those who make a fortune and then leave, it can be regarded as fighting to turn a blind eye. There is no need.
If you offend Tang Yulin and this group of people, they won't stay long anyway. This practice is the same in other cities.
For the people in Shenmu City who lack entertainment life, they naturally have to participate in this kind of thing. Even some low-level casual cultivators have to stake their savings that they have stored for many years.
So in the last half day, the number of people who placed bets immediately exceeded the total number of the previous seven or eight days, with more than 100,000 people placing bets at a time. And at the last moment, hundreds of people poured into the inn lobby.
When placing the bets, Tang Yulin and others were not present. They were all operated by their servants. They didn't know the odds and just continued. When Tang Yulin and the others saw the total number of bets, they suddenly thought something was wrong.
However, before Tang Yulin could come to his senses, a piece of news scared him out of his wits. Shenmu City issued an announcement that Han Bo and Li Liangyu's fight would be held one day ahead of schedule and would take place tomorrow. They were using the excuse to fight in the ring.
It was necessary to use the profound energy of the city defense formation to seal off the entire city.
