Fantasy: The Clan Chief Lies Down, His House Is Full of Emperors
Chapter 498 We Definitely Can't Lose
Just as Xu Chen had selected a decent spirit-sealing stone using his Qi-gazing technique, a repulsive voice came from the side.
"It was you three damned dogs!"
Xu Luo and the others frowned slightly and turned to look.
Three henchmen surrounded an arrogant young man, who glared at them with murderous intent. This man was none other than Xiang Zhantian.
It's really a case of enemies meeting on a narrow road. Xu Luo and his two companions thought they might run into him today, but they didn't expect to encounter him so soon after arriving.
Since we're old acquaintances, there's no need to be polite.
Xu Qiufeng said, "What's wrong with the Sky Chamber of Commerce? They actually let a few dogs in, barking all the time. It's really annoying."
“Don’t say that, dogs aren’t that annoying,” Xu Chen chimed in.
As chosen ones, they have heard too much ridicule and sarcasm along the way, and they can easily come up with sarcastic remarks.
Upon hearing this, Xiang Zhantian was instantly enraged and stepped forward.
"You are looking for death!!"
His henchman quickly stepped forward to remind him.
"Brother Tian, this is the Sky Chamber of Commerce."
They were afraid that Xiang Zhantian would lose control and start a fight here. If that happened, even if Xiang Zhantian's grandfather, Xiang Qian, a powerful Emperor Realm expert, came, he wouldn't be able to protect him.
Even his grandfather, who was at the Emperor Realm, wouldn't dare break the rules of the Azure Sky Chamber of Commerce, let alone him.
Xiang Zhantian said coldly, "I know!!"
Xu Luo and the other two understood this, which is why they said that on purpose, hoping to provoke him. But Xiang Zhantian wasn't stupid and wouldn't fall for it.
Seeing that he wasn't fooled, Xu Chen felt bored and prepared to continue selecting stones.
But Xiang Zhantian, still furious, showed no sign of leaving.
"Pretending to know everything, thinking they're so knowledgeable, picking and choosing, but in the end they still end up choosing something that can't be opened at all."
Xu Chen asked with interest, "How do you know that I won't get anything no matter what I choose?"
Xiang Zhantian scoffed.
"The Stone Gambling Tournament is held once every thirty years and has been going on for tens of thousands of years. If anyone could find a treasure, what would be the point of the Sky Chamber of Commerce?"
His henchman immediately chimed in.
"Yes, yes, those who can make money gambling on stones are either strong people with special skills or geniuses like Brother Tian with great fortune. People like you lowly scoundrels are just giving money away to the Sky Chamber of Commerce."
Xu Chen calmly denied, "That's not necessarily true."
Xiang Zhantian suddenly had a brilliant idea and said, "In that case, let's make a bet. We'll each choose one and see who gets the most valuable item. Whoever loses will give the other one hundred top-grade spirit stones."
Xiang Zhantian understood that he had no talent for gambling on stones, but he firmly believed that Xu Chen and his two friends were no good either, which is why he had such thoughts.
If he had been even a little more confident in himself, the stakes wouldn't have been just a hundred top-grade spirit stones; it would have been a gamble, or even a gamble with his life!
Xu Chen curled his lip in disdain.
"For a hundred top-grade spirit stones, you might as well go to the roadside, grab a beggar, and gamble with him."
Xu Qiufeng chimed in, "Yeah, yeah, always showing off like that, thinking he's so great, but he only bets a hundred, tsk tsk."
One hundred top-grade spirit stones is actually quite a lot, but their disdainful tone and expressions caused Xiang Zhantian's anger, which had not yet subsided, to flare up again.
"I was just worried you wouldn't have the money to pay if you lost. Since you insist on giving it away, then it'll be five hundred top-grade spirit stones!!"
That amount would be enough to buy a piece of holy gold in the Seven Kings City.
Ordinary True Saints or even Great Saints wouldn't be able to produce it, and even Saint Kings would feel the pinch if they could.
After he finished speaking, he didn't forget to add one more sentence.
"Can you produce it? If you can't, that's fine too. If you lose, you can kowtow to me and admit your mistake."
Although he really wanted to kill the three of them, he was afraid that the stakes were too high and Xu Luo and the others wouldn't dare to gamble anymore, so he lowered the stakes a bit.
Moreover, as long as they are in Seven Kings City, they can't escape. One day, I will be able to capture all three of them and kill them one by one.
Xu Chen casually took out a sacred weapon.
"That's enough."
Even a very ordinary complete holy weapon is worth far more than five hundred top-grade spirit stones.
Xiang Zhantian nodded repeatedly.
"Alright, let's draw up a contract. If you lose and can't come up with the spirit stones, you'll have to pay with this sacred weapon!"
He felt that for powerful cultivators like Xu Luo and the other two at the Great Saint Realm, a Saint Weapon was extremely precious. If they were to lose a Saint Weapon, it would be a huge blow to them.
That is indeed the case under normal circumstances.
Little did they know that Xu Luo and his two companions had no shortage of ordinary holy weapons, so they didn't care even if they lost.
What's more, they can't afford to lose.
At least compared to Xiang Zhantian, he definitely can't lose.
This is also the biggest reason why Xu Chen gradually lured him into gambling with him. Why not take the money that was earned for free, especially since it was from his enemy? Win twice!
Immediately, the two signed a contract, witnessed by members of the Sky Chamber of Commerce.
Such private bets are particularly common during jade gambling conventions and are hardly surprising.
However, there aren't many people who bet 500 top-grade spirit stones like them.
Furthermore, since one of them was the grandson of Xiang Zhantian, a powerful expert at the Emperor Realm, it attracted a lot of attention, and many people came to watch the spectacle.
"Look, someone's betting again, the stake is five hundred top-grade spirit stones! That's really generous."
"So it was Xiang Zhantian. That explains it."
"Those three are no ordinary people either. During the previous challenge in the blessed land, they killed Li Han and Tie Zhen, who were both above their level. They are definitely the prodigies of a certain force."
"However, they are not afraid of Xiang Zhantian. I don't know if it's because they are ignorant and fearless, or if they also have a background."
Soon, dozens of people gathered around them, looking on with amusement.
