After leaving the Ran Family Mansion, Qin Yu quickly blended into the crowd. He found a restaurant and ordered some meat and wine. Then, he happily tasted the delicious food and wine. But, he was lost in thought.
In this situation, Qin Yu had no choice but to think calmly!
Before attending Jin Xiu Mo's banquet, Qin Yu had never thought that he would be involved in such a huge gamble. He had never thought that he would be involved in more than seventy percent of the Great Devil Realm's geniuses. At this moment, Qin Yu felt as though he was dancing on the tip of a blade. One wrong move and his soul would scatter.
At the same time, once Qin Yu became one of the thirty-six Heaven Stars, his future in the Great Devil Realm would be even smoother. After all, those geniuses were betting on things that they couldn't afford … If they couldn't afford it, they would have to repay the bet with something of equal value. Be it items or favors!
Favors were what Qin Yu needed the most right now. His identity as the Crying Elder's disciple was at most a protective talisman. It was impossible for others to help him. However, once he passed the test, Qin Yu wasn't afraid that they wouldn't pay him back. This way, Qin Yu would have a greater chance of rescuing his master from the heavenly prison!
"Old man, if it weren't for you, would I have offended most of the geniuses in the Great Devil Realm?
Sigh … This is definitely not a wise decision. Unfortunately … I have no other choice. "
Qin Yu downed the wine in his cup in one gulp. His heart was filled with bitterness. This huge gamble had come to him in a flash. The reason why he did it was mostly because of his master, Huang Ting. He had thought that with his identity as the Crying Elder's disciple, even if he became one of the Heaven Stars, it would be difficult to rescue the old man. After all, in the Great Devil Realm, outsiders were people that must be killed. Not to mention, that old man had almost dug three feet into the ground of the Fallen Devil County.
"This matter is especially troublesome. I still have to be careful.
Luckily, I tricked Luo Qingyue back then and can guarantee that the old man won't die for the time being. "Qin Yu muttered to himself. As long as he had enough time, he would definitely be able to rescue his master.
"However, the test for the 72 Earthly Fiends this time will be even more difficult. I'm afraid that they will do their best to stay among the 72 Earthly Fiends. Even if they can't, they will definitely not allow themselves to become one of the 72 Earthly Fiends!"
Qin Yu placed his wine cup down as his eyes gleamed with sharpness. Without a doubt, as long as he didn't become one of the 72 Earthly Emanations, he would lose for sure. Because, only the 72 Earthly Emanations had the qualifications to participate in the test of the Heavenly Dipper Pagoda.
Qin Yu had a certain understanding of the 72 Earthly Fiends' test. The entire test was split into two stages. The first stage was to pass through a treacherous forest. Only the top 100 would have the right to challenge the 72 Earthly Fiends, and the winner would be able to replace them.
Therefore, Qin Yu guessed that those geniuses would definitely set up two lines of defense. One was to stop him from crossing the forest, and the other was to let the 72 Earthly Fiends take the initiative to challenge him. Only then would he not become one of the 72 Earthly Fiends.
"In the past, when I was in the Tianqi Sect, I had read quite a lot of Aura Concealment Techniques. Perhaps they can be of use now. As long as I restrain my aura, I'm afraid that the first stage won't be able to stop me!
However, the second stage … the initiative to challenge me might be the trickiest part … "Qin Yu was deep in thought as he carefully weighed his current strength. After a while, Qin Yu's eyes flashed and he made a decision. He left a few Spiritual Stones and left the restaurant. There were still a few days before the test for the 72 Earthly Fiends. He planned to study the Aura Concealment Technique!
At the same time, in a mansion in the Heavenly Fiend City!
"Rustle rustle rustle!"
The sound of porcelain shattering continued. The servants in the mansion were all uneasy. They were even more cautious when they walked, afraid that they would disturb the owner of the mansion.
In the hall of the mansion's inner courtyard, Lei Zhuoyue smashed all the perfect porcelain decorations in the room. His face was ferocious, and he no longer had the extraordinary aura from before.
In Splendid Tapir's mansion, Lei Zhuoyue was trying his best to hold back. After returning to his own mansion, he could no longer hold back and began to vent the anger and panic in his heart!
This time, Lei Zhuoyue was really panicking. As one of the most outstanding youths in the Lei Family, Lei Zhuoyue was the center of attention. Especially after passing the test of the 36 Heavenly Spirits, Lei Zhuoyue's fame had climbed to an extremely high level. He had heard the upper echelons of the Lei Family secretly discussing that he was very likely to become one of the Sequencer of the Lei Family. This made Lei Zhuoyue feel proud and complacent.
However, he never imagined that not only would he lose all face during Beautiful Tapir's banquet, he'd even been suspected by everyone. Moreover, the prestige that he'd picked up with great difficulty had vanished completely. Most importantly, he'd actually bet an Immortal Artifact!
Lei Zhuoyue did not realize it when he was in the middle of it. After calming down, Lei Zhuoyue realized that Li Youcai had been weaving a big net from the very beginning, trapping all the participants in the banquet. If someone had not told him that Li Youcai had entered the 20 feet mark of the All Creations Tablet, he would probably still be complacent!
"What a horrible person! What a shrewd and calculating person!" Lei Zhuoyue gnashed his teeth. The more he thought about it, the more frightened and frightened he became!
In the beginning, he had participated in the bet because he had been tempted by Qin Yu step by step. Secondly, it was because of his greed that he had gambled an Immortal Weapon. But now, Lei Zhuoyue was completely surrounded by fear. According to his understanding, such a calculative person must have absolute confidence in passing the test of the Celestial Dipper Pagoda. Otherwise, he would be digging his own grave. More than a thousand heaven's prides had gambled at least one Dao Instrument, and some were even stronger. Even the Crying Elder would not be able to take out so many Dao Instruments.
Therefore, Li Youcai must be fearless and must have something to rely on. Moreover, he had entered the 20 feet mark of the All Creations Tablet, which was enough to prove that Li Youcai was not an ordinary person!
If Li Youcai really became one of the 36 Celestial Dipper Pagoda, not only would he lose his extraordinary defensive shield and the egg of the Ferocious Thunder Beast, but he would also lose an Immortal Weapon!
Immortal Weapon, that was an Immortal Weapon!
If this matter was spread out, his family would definitely punish him severely. Then, it would be impossible for him to become an Sequencer.
Lei Zhuoyue did not expect things to turn out like this. His breathing was rapid, and his face was ferocious. Thousands of thoughts appeared in his mind.
"No!
Absolutely not! He must not pass the Celestial Dipper Pagoda! "Lei Zhuoyue roared hysterically.
At this moment, twelve young men walked into the inner court. Seeing Lei Zhuoyue standing at the entrance of the hall, they looked at each other. Then, one of the young men shouted, "Brother Zhuoyue …"
Surprisingly, this young man was Yin Ming. Luo Yuntun and ten other young men with extraordinary statuses were with him, and all of them were filled with fear and anxiety.
Lei Zhuoyue's eyes were red. Looking at Yin Ming and the others, he asked in a hoarse voice, "What's the matter?"
Yin Ming took a deep breath. He had no choice but to come this time. After the banquet, they were like ants on a hot pan. They couldn't sit still for even half an hour. After a long discussion, they unanimously decided to discuss countermeasures with Lei Zhuoyue. It had to be said that the reason they were so anxious was all because these 12 people had bet on Sub-celestial Weapons!
A Sub-Immortal Weapon, that was a Sub-Immortal Weapon. Normally, the twelve of them would not even dare to think about it. But now, they had lost their minds and bet on a Sub-Immortal Weapon. How could they not be anxious?
"Brother Zhuoyue, that Li Youcai must not pass the test of the Celestial Dipper Pagoda … We came to you to discuss this matter. How can we stop Li Youcai from becoming one of the 72 Earthly Fiends? As long as he fails, he will not be able to become one of the 36 Celestial Dipper Pagoda. At that time, we will win!" Yin Ming said incoherently.
Lei Zhuoyue's expression gradually disappeared when Yin Ming and the others arrived. At this moment, he had returned to normal. He glanced at the twelve of them and said indifferently, "How can we stop him?"
How can we stop him?
Lei Zhuoyue had already thought about it during the banquet. He had even come up with a complete countermeasure. Although he had failed miserably this time, Lei Zhuoyue's mind was sharp and he was exceptionally cautious. He still left himself a way out. This was also why he had stopped Qin Yu at the banquet and did not continue to speak.
Lei Zhuoyue knew that in front of everyone, even if he could force Li Youcai to cancel the bet, he would definitely not do as he wished. After all, if he canceled the bet, the others would definitely do their best to demand it. Therefore, Lei Zhuoyue had left himself a way out. He believed that Li Youcai must know this as well.
But Lei Zhuoyue would never put his fate in the hands of others. Whether Li Youcai agreed to cancel the bet or not, Lei Zhuoyue would stop Qin Yu from becoming one of the 36 Celestial Dipper Pagoda.
Therefore, Lei Zhuoyue had already started to plan. The reason why he asked now was because he wanted to hear Yin Ming and the others' countermeasure and combine them.
After Yin Ming and Luo Yuntun exchanged glances, Luo Yuntun said, "We previously discussed a three-step countermeasure. Just in case, the first step is to combine forces with the other prodigies to kill Li Youcai in the first round of the 72 Earthly Dipper Pagoda!
Although he is the Crying Elder's disciple, the Crying Elder has no right to interfere in matters of the competition. No matter how strong Li Youcai is, he will be outnumbered. Even if he is lucky enough to escape, he will definitely be severely injured.
Then … we can carry out the second step … "
"In the second round of the competition, let the top five of the 72 Earthly Dipper Pagoda take the initiative to challenge Li Youcai.
This way, Li Youcai will definitely lose!
We have already discussed these two steps. But just in case, we still need Brother Zhuoyue's help for the third step, "Luo Yuntun said softly.
"Speak!" Lei Zhuoyue said calmly. He had already thought about what Luo Yuntun had said.
"Even if Li Youcai is extremely lucky and luckily becomes one of the Earthly Dipper Pagoda, there is still room to maneuver. Because the majority of the 72 Earthly Dipper Pagoda are in this huge bet, we can let the other Earthly Dipper Pagoda join forces to suppress Li Youcai … If Brother Zhuoyue can reveal the situation at the Big Dipper Pagoda and let the Earthly Dipper Pagoda ambush him in advance, Li Youcai will definitely die in three steps!" Luo Yuntun's eyes flashed with a sharp glint as he said sinisterly.
