Chapter 3849: Raising the Stakes (Revised)

the Celestial Watchers aimed to prevent another instance of the Jiang clan monopolizing power, they supported the Yun clan and the Ji clan as a counterbalance.But it has to be said, as the one who la...The whetstone, constantly moving back and forth, was carving away at the piece of blood-sealed stone Ginger Cloud had chosen.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the blood-sealed stone, not daring to blink.

Even Xuan Yi and the others, their faces showed a hint of nervousness.

Though Xuan Yi's team has won so far, if they lose this round, they will be bankrupt!

To put it simply, Jiang Yun had already paid out six million emperor source stones, but only three million were actually at stake!

The remaining Emperor Source Stones were all the money used to buy Blood Sealing Stones, and they were given to Shi Taixuan.

And everything cut out belongs to Su Qianchen.

Therefore, if they lose this round, Xuan Yi and his team will have to put up seven million Diyuan Stones!

These emperor origin stones were all borrowed by Xuan Yi from others. If they are lost, even for the entire Xuanhuang Sect, it would be a considerable loss!

As for Su Qianchen, he had completely calmed down.

Losing millions of Emperor Origin Stones in his capacity wouldn't amount to much.

The only thing he probably cared about was his identity as the first Gem Appraiser, which might be questioned.

Looking at Jiang Yun again, he seemed even calmer than Su Qianchen.

It's not that Jiang Yun was confident he could win this bet, but rather that he didn't care much for money.

Moreover, he has plenty of opportunities to make amends.

As long as he stops gambling with others, give him a few days and he can drain the bloodstone from all five shops in the Four Towns City, wiping them out completely!

By then, don't even talk about 20 million origin stones. Even 200 million wouldn't be a problem.

Just like that, under everyone's gaze, the piece of blood-sealed stone that Jiang Yun chose gradually shrunk in size.

This blood-sealed stone wasn't very large at first; it was only the size of a human head.

Because the stakes were so high, the stone cutter was extra careful and slowed down, afraid of ruining anything inside.

By the time most people had started to shake their heads in disapproval, it was already half its original size.

In their minds, they had already decided that Jiang Yun had lost.

Within a bloodstone, whenever something good exists, there will basically be all sorts of visions appearing during the cutting process.

The more bizarre and sensational the anomaly, the greater the probability of finding good things in the blood-sealed stone.

Like the bloodstone Gingercloud chose, having already been cut in half, there wasn't even a hint of anomaly. This practically proved that there was nothing valuable inside.

Even, it could be empty!

Seeing this scene, the tension on Xuan Yi and the others' faces gradually dissipated.

The blood-sealed stone continued to be cut until it was only one-third its original size, but still there were no signs of anything unusual.

At this point, someone in the crowd couldn't help but speak up: "There's no need to watch anymore, Xuanyuan Yun is definitely going to lose!"

Someone chimed in, "That's right, the Blood Sealing Stone has been cut to this extent, and there is no suspense left!"

Their words also represented the sentiments of the vast majority of people present.

Gu Limin, his nephew, Gao Song, and Chen Jianye all had furrowed brows and gloomy faces.

Even the young people in the crowd nodded lightly.

Clearly, no one was optimistic about this blood-sealed stone anymore, and no one believed that Jiang Yun could still win this bet.

Only Jiang Yun's face remained calm.

Actually, Ginger Cloud also felt that she had already lost.

Although he knew that this blood-sealed stone couldn't be empty, and that the powerful Emperor's blood and seal inside were extremely formidable, it didn't mean that what was hidden inside was necessarily something good.

However, at that moment, Xuan Yi suddenly spoke up: "Stop!"

As his voice rose, the stone cutters immediately stopped their work. Everyone's eyes, even Su Qiand Chen's, turned to him, confused about what he meant by speaking up and stopping them at this moment.

Xuan Yi looked at Jiang Yun, a smile appeared on his face and he said: "Xuan Yuan Yun, dare you let me add another bet!"

Hearing this, everyone suddenly realized that Xuan Yi was trying to take advantage of the situation and push him further down.

Knowing that Jiang Yun was almost certain to lose, he deliberately raised the stakes, causing Jiang Yun to lose even more Emperor Origin Stones.

Although this approach was a bit underhanded, the crowd also knew about the feud between Xuan Yi and Jiang Yun, so naturally, they couldn't say much.

Su Qiand Chen smiled and shook her head, not saying a word.

Ginger Cloud let out a cold smile. "Young Master Xuan, don't you think you've already won"

Xuan Yi shook his head and said, "I wouldn't dare think so."

Every cultivator present knew that the Blood Sealing Stone, until it was truly cut open at the very end, no one knew what was inside.

I just think what you said just now makes a lot of sense.

Either go all in and lose everything, or win big.

"The twenty million Emperor Origin Stones you proposed, half of them were taken out by Master Su, and if I lose, after deducting one million, there will be three million Emperor Origin Stones left on me."

"Keeping these three million Imperial Source Stones wouldn't make much sense anymore, so I've decided to take out another two million Imperial Source Stones, bringing the total to five million as my wager!"

These two million imperial origin stones are truly Xuan Yi's own bottom-of-the-box imperial origin stones.

Seeing that he was almost guaranteed to win the game, he naturally wanted to make as much money as possible, so he took this out.

Before anyone could react, Jin Yang beside Xuan Yi suddenly chimed in: "I'll also put in another million!"

$16 million!

Many cultivators in the field felt they were about to suffocate.

They've never seen, let alone heard of, such a quantity of Emperor Source Stones in their entire lives.

But now, people are even using it as a gambling stake!

This is a real high-stakes gamble!

Jiang Yun narrowed her eyes slightly, looking at Xuan Yi and Jin Yang, who were full of smug smiles. She pondered whether she should agree.

And almost at the same time, he heard the voices of Gu Linxu and Gao Song in his ears.

Don't agree, just stop here!

"Senior, I can't agree to this!"

If Ginger Cloud agreed, it would be tantamount to giving six million Emperor Origin Stones to Xuan Yi and his group for nothing.

However, Xuan Yi's voice rang out again: "Just when you raised the bet to 20 million, we all readily agreed."

Now it's your turn, if you don't agree, wouldn't that be a bit hard to explain.

"That's not fair! You can increase your bets, but we can't"

Xuanyit and Jinyang talked back and forth, trying to pressure Jiangyun into raising the bet by another six million!

Finally, Jiang Yun, after a brief moment of silence, looked at the proud geniuses beside Xuan Yi and smiled. "Since both of you hold me in such high regard, if I don't agree, it would be unseemly."

"Is there anyone among you who still wants to raise the bid Why not make it a nice round figure, thirty million!"

At this point, Ginger Cloud no longer cared about the outcome of the gamble, nor did he care how many Imperial Source Stones he might lose.

In his heart, he had already harbored murderous intent towards Xuan Yi and Jin Yang!

I came to this four towns city and didn't actively provoke Xuan Yi and Jin Yang, but the two of them have been constantly provoking me.

Jiang Yun had already made up his mind. After finishing today's gambling session, he would go to Jishixuan first and sweep away all the blood-sealing stones.

Then, wait until the appraisal meeting is over, and then kill Xuan Yi and Jin Yang!

For others, perhaps there wouldn't be the courage to do this, but Jiang Yun is not someone from this chaotic world at all, so he doesn't care about the rules of this world.

After killing them, at worst I'll just retreat to the myriad heavens and hide for a while!

Therefore, Ginger Cloud just let them have their moment of triumph!

After Jiangyun finished speaking, four young cultivators actually stepped out from behind Xuan Yi and said: "Then each of us will contribute another one million Emperor Yuan Stones!"

Thirty million!

This number made Chen Jianye frown secretly.

Although he could take it out, he doubted if the things on Gingeryun were worth thirty million!

Ginger Cloud, however, didn't ask him further. Instead, she let out a cold smile and directly addressed the stone-cutter: "Continue cutting!"re no longer worthy of being recruited by us!"On other days, the patriarchs of various clans also spoke up one after another, giving all the cultivators in the Linggu domain corresponding assurances.L...
