Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect: I, Huo Yuhao, join the Sun Moon Sect.

Chapter 765 I wager the Asura Sword!

"How about we make a bet on the matter of you retrieving the souls from the underworld?" Tang San said, enunciating each word clearly.

"Sea God, why should I make a bet with you on this matter?" the God of Destruction replied in a deep voice, his eyes, glowing with a blinding red light, staring straight at Tang San across the round table.

Tang San smiled and provocatively asked, "What's wrong? Even the infamous God of Destruction has moments of weakness?"

Seeing Tang San's confident demeanor, the God of Destruction fell silent almost instantly, his mind churning with thoughts.

I clearly did not go to the underworld to retrieve any so-called souls, so why does Tang San insist that I did such a thing?
Could it be that Zhou Weiqing, the traitor Tang San planted under my command, went to the underworld to retrieve souls and then tried to frame me for giving the order to retrieve souls from the underworld?
Although I have arranged for the gods to secretly watch over Zhou Weiqing now, the Zhou Weiqing of the past was indeed like my right-hand man, and naturally had the opportunity to do such things.

wrong!

Although Tang San is bad, he is not stupid. In front of the five God Kings, framing someone in this way is not very meaningful, it is easy to see through, and it will also expose a traitor too early.

After all, Zhou Weiqing is still a very trusted right-hand man to Tang San.

Logically, the exposure should only be allowed at extremely critical moments, so as to fully realize the value of the traitor Zhou Weiqing.

Where does Tang San's confidence come from?
The God of Destruction was somewhat puzzled, but since he had always been at odds with Tang San and was confident that he had no way of obtaining the souls of the Underworld, he also thought of taking this opportunity to trick Tang San.

He scoffed, "Sea God, I've never gone to the underworld to retrieve souls, so why would I feel guilty?"

"Then why are you unwilling to bet with me?" Tang San pressed aggressively, refusing to back down an inch.

At this moment, Ji Dong and Lie Yan's gazes had already fallen on the purple cloak of the God of Destruction.

Although Tang San's words today seem somewhat nonsensical, upon closer examination, they do make some sense.

"Sea God, since you question my actions of retrieving souls from the underworld, you should provide evidence instead of simply demanding that I prove my innocence!" The God of Destruction's voice was deep, tinged with anger.

He didn't immediately agree to Tang San's request, but instead kept pulling at him with words, all to make Tang San more convinced that he had retrieved the soul from the Underworld, which was why he was so resistant to the bet. In this way, Tang San might put up a very high-value stake during the bet!

"Destruction!" Tang San's voice suddenly rose, and he glared at the God of Destruction. "As a God-King, you wield immense power, but even so, you must abide by the supreme rules of the God Realm. Once you violate the rules of the God Realm, you will inevitably be punished!"

"Given your personality, if you weren't feeling guilty, why would you keep resisting my bet? Are you afraid of losing to me?"

"Afraid?" The God of Destruction slammed his hand on the table, his eyes flashing red. "I don't know how to spell the word 'fear'. Fine, let's make a bet. Tang San, a bet has to have a stake. I'll wager my super artifact, the Staff of Destruction. But you have to come up with a stake of equal value!"

"Little Purple!" The Goddess of Life looked at the God of Destruction with a worried expression, wanting to stop the God of Destruction from pressing down the super artifact, the Scepter of Destruction.

As his wife, she certainly didn't believe that the God of Destruction would secretly steal souls from the underworld. However, no matter what, the Scepter of Destruction was too important to the God of Destruction as a super artifact. How could such a thing be used as a gamble?
"Little Green, my mind is made up, no need for further words!" the God of Destruction said in a deep voice.

With the five great god-kings gathered here, he had no way to explain to the Goddess of Life through telepathy, so he could only use these words to dispel the idea of ​​the Goddess of Life trying to persuade him.

Ji Dong and Lie Yan were both somewhat surprised, clearly not expecting the God of Destruction to actually do it. "That's a super artifact! You're using it as a wager!" Ji Dong was a little annoyed. He exchanged a glance with Lie Yan, and both of them showed a helpless expression.

After all, although the two were god-kings, they did not inherit the super artifact from the previous evil god and the good god.

A hint of joy flashed in Tang San's eyes, but he quickly suppressed it.

Foolish destruction, are you just trying to scare me off by betting the scepter of destruction?

After all, items of equal value to the Scepter of Destruction are rare even in the entire realm of gods. It's a pity that you've made such a valuable bet, which only makes you seem extremely insecure!

If you lose the Scepter of Destruction, your strength will surely plummet!

He said impatiently, "Alright, Destruction, since you've said so, then I'll wager the Asura Sword!"
After investigation, if it is confirmed that you took a large number of souls from the underworld, you will hand over the Staff of Destruction to me. If you haven't done so, I will give you the Sword of Asura. How about that?

"I thought you would make me exchange the Scepter of Destruction for control of the central authority of the divine realm!" the God of Destruction said calmly.

Tang San said righteously, "Destruction, there is a problem with what you said. Although the four of you have deprived me of control over the central authority of the God Realm and jointly ruled over the central authority of the God Realm."

However, the central hub of the divine realm belongs to all the gods. You are merely acting on behalf of all the gods, possessing only the right to use it 24 hours a day. To use the central hub of the divine realm as a bargaining chip is a disrespect to all the gods.”

"Poseidon, you're all talk and no action. So the bet is settled!" Destruction said coldly.

Tang San nodded and said, "In that case, let's start voting. We need to formally settle our bet to prevent anyone from backing out later. Also, we need to get Destruction to cooperate with the God Kings in investigating the souls in the Underworld. This involves the God Kings ignoring the rules of the God Realm, so I hope you all pay more attention to that. After all, no god can be above the rules of the God Realm."

He was previously suspended from voting for one hundred days.

One day in the God Realm is equivalent to one year in the mortal realm. If this were the Douluo Continent, it would be a hundred years.

So the four god-kings began to vote.

The God of Destruction naturally voted in favor.

The goddess of life voted against it.

Ji Dong and Lie Yan, who usually remain neutral and abstain, voted in favor. They felt that Tang San's words made sense; if the God of Destruction had truly violated the rules of the God Realm, then he should be tried by the God Realm Committee.

If even the God-King leads the way in disobeying the rules of the divine realm, and there is no punishment for doing so, what will the other gods in the divine realm think?
"Although we've decided to have Destruction cooperate in investigating the souls of the Underworld, we still need to come up with a plan on how to do it. How about this, Ji Dong, go find the First Evil and ask him to lend you the Scales of Judgment?" Tang San suggested.

In fact, according to Tang San's thinking, the God of Destruction might have secretly destroyed those Netherworld souls during the search for them in order to avoid losing the bet. After all, no one knew exactly where the God of Destruction had placed those Netherworld souls.

At this point, the scales of justice become especially important.
