Chapter 1785: I Bet My Life
the forty-eight guards remained gathered together, whispering among themselves.These Guardians of the Waste, each possessed a certain amount of experience. Therefore, they understood clearly that desp...Just as Jiang Yun entered the extraterritorial battlefield, in the center of the main hall of the Annihilation Domain Imperial Execution Department, two people knelt.
One was dressed in white, the other in black. They were the two men responsible for receiving prisoners on a daily basis.
At this moment, the two men were no longer arrogant as they used to be. Instead, they knelt on the ground with their heads bowed low, not even daring to breathe.
Suddenly, a cold voice echoed from the unseen darkness above the main hall: “How is it that humans are gone”
The man in white answered cautiously: "We don't know either. After we found out he was missing, we immediately searched the entire prison thoroughly several times, but we never found him."
"His mark didn't react at all. We deduce that he must have already left the prison!"
After a brief moment of silence, the cold voice from above the main hall sounded again: "Interesting. Since the establishment of my imperial court's Department of Justice, this is the first prisoner to have disappeared without a trace."
"When he came in, did they verify his identity and his crimes"
Before the man in white could speak, a voice, aged and weary, echoed from the darkness: "Reporting to the master, the three of us have simultaneously examined his soul."
"This person is a member of the Yue Ling Clan. After being caught stealing the clan's sacred fire by the clan leader, he was personally sent to the Imperial Punishment Department."
"Identity, charges, all confirmed."
As that aged voice fell silent, death returned to the darkness.
> Not until a full quarter of an hour had passed did the master's voice sound again, saying, "I understand. You may all withdraw now. This matter ends here, and let it not be repeated!"
"Yes!"
The man in white and the man in black hurriedly agreed with a nod, secretly letting out a sigh of relief.
Although they had some doubts in their hearts, the usually strict Master was so easily willing to give up the investigation. However, this was a great thing for the two of them, so they didn't dare ask any further questions. They stood up and retreated out of the hall.
Then, several gusts of wind rustled through the hall, and once again silence returned.
At this moment, an old man slowly walked out of the darkness, muttering to himself as he went: "The world where the Extinction Clan resides, we have basically mapped it out. There is no way to escape, except for...that black hole!"
"But that black hole, even we can't enter it. However, a member of the Moon Spirit Clan can enter it. Why is that"
And even though he left the prison, the mark left by the Imperial Criminal Ministry would still allow us to know his general whereabouts. Since we've lost his trail now, the only explanation is that he left Desolate Domain and went to the battlefield beyond it.
"Interesting, interesting!"
The old man's face gradually broke into a smile. “After being so comfortable for so long, it’s finally good to have something interesting to do.”
"Let's start the investigation with the Yue Ling clan first!"
As soon as the words left his mouth, the old man's figure had vanished.
……
Overseas battlefield, fair grounds!
Although Ginger Cloud had yet to truly step into this Fair World, his divine awareness was so powerful that he had already grasped the entirety of its situation with clarity.
Within the fair ground, there were several places where powerful restrictions existed. Although Jiang Yun's divine sense, if fully released, could forcefully break through them, he did not do so.
Because, he had already seen...money empty!
At that moment, when he saw the emptiness of the money, he understood why the woman earlier had said that Qian Kong's situation was even more tragic, to the point where she couldn't bear to continue talking about it!
In the center of the only dilapidated city in the fair world, a group of people gathered at this very moment.
And in the center of the crowd, sat a middle-aged man, holding an iron chain in his hand. At the other end of the chain was a person.
It looks like they're putting on a show!
The person chained up, wasn't anyone else but Qian Kong!
The empty chain hung around Qian Kong's neck. He stood motionless, his eyes vacant and expression numb, as if he had lost his soul.
Two big characters, "thief," were written in blood on his face.
A middle-aged man sitting on the ground was shouting loudly at the surrounding crowd: "Folks, does anyone dare to bet Ten to one! This is a great opportunity to get rich!"
"As long as you can sense what he has stolen from him, no matter how much you bring, I will return ten times the amount."
Moreover, this is a fair world. As long as you dare to bet, I dare to pay out. I am honest and trustworthy. If you want to gamble, hurry up and make your move! After this village, there is no such shop!
Although the man was shouting with great enthusiasm, the onlookers remained unmoved because some were whispering amongst themselves.
"Everyone, don't be fooled! This thief is very cunning. No one has been able to outsmart him so far. During this time, Bi Dongsheng has made a fortune thanks to him."
"That's right, this Bi Dongsheng doesn't know where he found such a thief. Just by looking at his way of stealing, you can tell he's not an ordinary person. But I never expected that he would be used as a money-making tool by Bi Dongsheng."
This thief is certainly no ordinary person. It's said that he was just recently sent here as one of the criminals who entered this place shortly before the annihilation of the world. And apparently, he’s a member of some kind of thieves' clan.
Many members of the "Not Returning Home" group had been patronized by this tribe before, so now they vented all their anger onto this thief.
Although the voices of those discussing were soft, the man named Bi Dongsheng, who was penniless and sought fame and fortune, could hear them clearly.
However, he didn't explain, just sat there and continued to yell at himself: "What, you are all influential figures, shouldn't you even have this much confidence"
"Or do you think the odds I offered are too low I can double them, twenty to one. How about that"
"Spirit stones, source stones, demon pills, Tao fruits, you can bet on anything, as long as I win, I'll pay twenty times the amount. How about that!"
Finally, spurred on by Bi Dongsheng, one monk couldn't help but step forward. He wagered a spirit pill and then walked to three feet beside Qian Kong, staring intently at him.
However, before he could even stand steady, Bi Dongsheng was already laughing as he reached out to grab the demon pill and said, "Thank you, thank you!"
The monk furrowed his brow and said, "What did you steal from me"
Qian Kong spread his palm open, and a token appeared in his palm. Instantly, the cultivator's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly reached for his body.
Next, he snatched the token from Bi Dongsheng's palm and bowed to him: "Truly impressive!"
After finishing his words, he shook his head and then turned to leave in large strides.
Throughout the entire process, Qian Kong's face remained devoid of any emotional fluctuation, like a walking corpse.
"Haha, friend, come again next time!"
Bi Dongsheng shouted at the back of the other person, then looked around at the crowd and said, "This friend is a little unlucky, but I believe the other friends here definitely have better luck than him. Does anyone else want to bet"
Some people still didn't believe how sophisticated Qian Kong's thievery was, but after seeing the process of that cultivator being robbed just now, they all widened their eyes and released their divine sense.
The result was that no one could see any clues at all, naturally making them convinced. Where would anyone go to give away things to Bi Dongsheng for nothing
Bi Dongsheng wasn't in a hurry either. He sat there deliberately taking out a handful of demon pills and counting them, obviously to provoke the others.
At that moment, a voice suddenly rang out in everyone's ears: "I'll bet!"
Bi Dongsheng didn't even have time to look at the speaker's appearance. He eagerly put away the demon pill in his hand and said, "Welcome, welcome. I wonder what our friend is prepared to bet on"
"Bet my life!"
