Demon-killing Enlightenment

Mu Yang curiously asked Bao Ying beside him, "Why are the odds of this dark square so high?"

Bao Ying whispered in Mu Yang's ear, "Brother Liu, this is a life-and-death bet. The bet is on which of these contestants will die in the hunting forest."

Huh? Betting on someone's life or death. This was the first time Mu Yang heard this.

At this time, someone commented on Liu Yang's odds on the list, "In my opinion, this Liu Yang should be given a 20-to-1 odds. He is too naive. Does he think that he is the best because he defeated Xue Hai? He doesn't even know the rules of the duel before the Ghost Festival."

"Yeah, I think so too. I watched his fight and it was just like that. Xue Hai obviously held back."

"Um, hehe, Brother Liu, don't listen to what they say. I still believe in your ability." Bao Ying said awkwardly in Mu Yang's ear.

Mu Yang didn't care about the gossip at all.

At this time, a man in uniform stood in front of Mu Yang and said, "Hello, customer. I am the dealer of the life and death gambling game. Are you optimistic about this life and death gambling game?"

Mu Yang nodded.

The man asked again, "Do you have a favorite candidate?"

Mu Yang nodded again, "Can I bet as much as I want?"

"Puff! Hahaha..." Everyone burst into laughter.

"No buddy, where are you from? Do you know where this is? Who brought you here? You are too unreliable."

"Boy, this is a dark market. I don't need to tell you who is behind it, right? They can afford to pay you whatever you bet."

Bao Ying covered his face with his hands, feeling regretful. "I was so busy leading Liu Yang on his way that I forgot to explain this to him in detail. How embarrassing."

The dealer took a look at Baoying without any expression on his face, maintaining his professional ethics very well.

"Sir, please feel free to place your bet. If you are lucky enough to win the bet, I will definitely not owe you a single spiritual stone. I will give it to you in full."

Mu Yang nodded and thought, that’s good, but I’m just worried that the quantity will be too large and the dealer won’t be able to honor the payment.

"I bet on the death of two people. Xue Hai and Li Gan." Mu Yang said calmly.

Hahahaha…another burst of laughter.

"Fuck, are you here to make fun of me? Don't you know who these two people are?"

"Bet on Xue Haili's willingness to die? Will the Xue family and the Ghost Extermination Gang let them die? Think about it carefully with your pig brain."

The crowd around said all kinds of things, all mocking Mu Yang for being naive.

The dealer raised his hand, and people's laughter gradually stopped.

"Sir, you may place bets on these two, but I would like to remind you that once a bet is placed, it will not be refunded."

Mu Yang nodded to show that he understood.

At this time, Bao Ying whispered in Mu Yang's ear, "Brother Liu, people do die in the Ghost Festival every year, but they are all outsiders who don't know the immensity of the hunting forest. You will definitely lose all your money with this move."

The life and death gambling game is held every time during the Ghost Festival. However, only a few people win the bet, so the odds are gradually increased. In addition, in order to prevent speculators from betting on every player, the Anfang stipulates that each person can only bet on five people at most.

Although few people won the bets, the rising odds still attracted many people to come. They carefully chose five unfamiliar players to bet on, and then prayed that these ignorant outsiders died in the hunting forest.

Mu Yang smiled at Bao Ying's mask and said, "It's okay, just have fun."

Then Mu Yang looked at the dealer, took off a storage bag from his body and said, "Xue Hai bets 5,000 spirit stones, and Li Gan bets 5,000 spirit stones."

As soon as Mu Yang said this, the air suddenly became quiet.

The Anfang was as quiet as if the speakers had been removed, and you could hear a pin drop.

After a long time, the dealer finally reacted and looked at the storage bag in Mu Yang's hand. He then took it hurriedly to check whether there were ten thousand spirit stones in it.

"Hiss... Oh my God, this person took out 10,000 spirit stones. What a generous person." Someone gasped, shocked by Mu Yang's generosity.

"But he actually threatened Xue Haili to death, and he even offered 10,000 spirit stones. Where did he get the confidence from?"

"This person is either crazy or has a purpose. But Xue Hai and Li Gan are not made of wood. How can they die so easily?"

The onlookers finally stopped laughing blindly. Mu Yang's huge bet made these people regain some sanity.

At this time, Bao Ying was so anxious that he jumped up and down, "Oh my god! Brother Liu, this is not the way to spend money. Ten thousand spirit stones, if you throw them into the water, it will make a big noise. If you do this, you will lose everything."

Mu Yang put his face close to Bao Ying's ear and said, "It doesn't matter. If I win, I will be one of the richest people near Nanguan."

"Oh my god, you're so awesome." Bao Ying was speechless.

Soon the dealer came back with the account and handed a jade slip to Mu Yang. His attitude was obviously better at this time. Professional ethics also depend on the value of the person being served.

"Sir, thank you for your support of the Anfang near the South Gate. This is the authentication jade slip. You can use this jade slip to claim the jade after the ghost festival is over."

Mu Yang didn't even look at the jade slip and put it directly into the storage bag. He still trusted the assets of the Ghost Slaughtering Holy Sect.

After the matter was settled, Mu Yang turned and left.

Bao Ying hesitated for a while and then caught up.

The two of them took off their masks as soon as they left the dark square, and walked for a long time without saying a word. Then, Bao Ying pulled Mu Yang and stopped.

"Brother Liu, I also got a commission for bringing you into the Dark Market, but I can't bear to see you squandering spirit stones like this. How about I return the commission to you?" As he said that, Bao Ying took out a storage bag.

Mu Yang was a little surprised when he saw Bao Ying's sincerity. He didn't expect that this idle dealer could be so compassionate.

"Your commission is yours. Besides, don't you say it guarantees a win? How can I not win if I follow you into the secret workshop?" Mu Yang half-jokingly rejected the guarantee of a win.

Bao Ying hesitated for a long time, as if he had made up his mind. "Brother Liu, I want to tell you something. This is a top secret of the Dark Square, but I think I should tell you."

Hmm? Mu Yang was curious.

"Li Gan from the Ghost-Exterminating Gang bet a thousand spirit stones, and he bets on Zhao Ziyang to death." Bao Ying said in a very low voice.

Mu Yang's expression was calm, but murderous intent was already rising in his heart. He recalled the appearance of Li Gan that he saw on the martial arts stage that day.

It turns out that the Ghost Extermination Gang is also going to cause trouble at this Ghost Festival, and they have even placed a bet. They must be well prepared. It seems that this Ghost Festival will be very lively.

But Mu Yang changed his mind and thought that this might be a good thing. The more chaotic the situation was, the safer it would be for him to act.

Mu Yang looked at Bao Ying with a smile, "Bao Zhuangjia, this information is very important. Thank you."

Mu Yang then turned and left. He was going back to Ding Mansion to practice and adjust his condition in preparation for tomorrow's ghost festival.

In fact, what Bao Ying didn’t know was that just when Mu Yang and Bao Ying walked out of the Dark Square, Xue Hai entered the Dark Square.

Xue Hai also placed a bet in the dark market, two thousand spirit stones, and Ding Bai's death.
