The long-awaited arena battle has come to an end.

It ended in a way that was both reasonable and unexpected.

Those Daoist disciples who witnessed the battle that turned Heaven into a battlefield knew that their son-in-law was strong, but no one expected it.

The son-in-law has become so powerful that he has reached the Nascent Soul Realm.

Just when everyone was still speculating about what level of cultivation the son-in-law had reached in the Destiny Wheel, he slapped them all in the face with his actions.

What the hell is the Wheel of Fate? I skipped the Wheel of Fate and advanced directly to the Heavenly Realm.

The two swords defeated the two young masters working together. If it weren't for the intervention of the Fifth Elder Qingyun, the two young masters would have already been forced to start over.

Faced with such fierce and powerful strength, the Dao Sect disciples were flushed with excitement.

The two young masters, even working together, could at most withstand two sword strikes from the son-in-law. As for the other arrogant so-called chosen ones of heaven on the imperial land...

In front of the son-in-law, it's a matter of taking them all down with a single sword strike.

Because in front of their son-in-law, they couldn't even come close to being called geniuses.

The disciples of the Dao Sect were very satisfied with this son-in-law.

Only a son-in-law as outstanding as him is worthy of my princess.

The arena battle ended with the son-in-law defeating the entire younger generation of the Dao Sect, but the afterglow still lingers.

The betting odds set up for the tournament are about to be settled.

Before the game started, some people bet on the son-in-law to win, while others bet on the two young masters to have a slight advantage.

What was originally a small-scale gambling game suddenly escalated to a whole new level after the sect leader took charge of the betting.

The stakes were also raised indefinitely.

The unconventional nature of the Nine Heavens Profound Dao Sect was once again perfectly showcased at this moment.

The sect leader is in charge, betting on the outcome of a duel between his son-in-law and son.

If the son wins, the payout is 1/5.

It means betting on the Zhang brothers to win; for every spirit crystal bet, you get half a spirit crystal in return.

The son-in-law wins; the odds are 2 for every 1 bet.

The son-in-law chose to fight all of them alone and suppress them all, with a payout of ten times the stake.

If the final result is a draw, the odds are 5 to 1.

The rules are simple, but there are many nuances to it.

Because there's no mention of the odds option if Hao Boqi loses before the final battle.

There was no question of what would happen if the first thirty-seven people to go on stage won a round, so this bet was actually only for the final battle.

But Zhang Dafu, the bookmaker who set up this gambling game, knew better than anyone else.

That damned brat from the Yang family already possesses the power to absorb the heavens. No matter how strong my own son is, he can't beat him. If we can even manage a draw, we'll have to pray that the brat from the Yang family makes a major mistake.

Knowing full well they couldn't win, they still set up a betting scheme and played it on such a high stakes.

Therefore, Zhang Dafu's real intention was to steal the money from the disciples of the Dao Sect.

The fact that a sect leader would set up a scheme to swindle money from his disciples is unique in the entire Imperial Land.

Because the odds he gave had a huge flaw, so big that many disciples didn't believe such an outcome would occur.

For example, the son-in-law fought from beginning to end, defeating all the geniuses of the Dao Sect without ever losing a single match.

It's not that I don't trust my son-in-law, it's just that it's too difficult.

Having already fought thirty Dao Sect geniuses above the Life Wheel Realm, and having already expended so much energy, he now faces the eldest and second young masters.

Even if the son-in-law is very strong, he has consumed too much spiritual energy.

Winning is too difficult.

Even if the final battle ends in a draw, since the eldest and second young masters are of similar cultivation levels, the so-called final battle is actually two separate matches.

Even if you manage to fight one of them to a draw, the energy expenditure will be enormous, and you won't have the strength to fight the next one.

But who could have imagined that the son-in-law had already crossed the Wheel of Fate and reached the Heavenly Realm?

This caused many disciples to slap their thighs in regret and remorse.

Why did I become so blinded by greed and bet on my son-in-law losing? Why couldn't I have held on a little longer?

If I keep betting on my son-in-law to win, my assets will instantly increase tenfold.

Now look what's happened, he's lost even his underwear.

I'm broke now... I'd have to rob a bunch of idiots to get my money back.

Therefore, the current disciples of the Daoist sect have a profound understanding of what it means to experience both pain and joy.

The fact that their son-in-law was so powerful brought them joy, but the fact that his storage ring was empty also broke their hearts.

Angina pectoris!

But not everyone loses everything; there are always lucky ones.

For example, Qin Feng, Xiao Jiu, and Xiao Liu.

For the two who have followed Ye Boqi all the way to where they are today, the Crown Prince never does anything without certainty.

They never engage in unprofitable transactions.

For the two who idolized Ye Boqi to an extreme degree, betting on the crown prince to win was something they didn't even need to consider.

Before Jin Mantang set off for Xuanwu Divine Land, he had formally informed them.

You two are the most corrupt and treacherous officials in Daqi. If there is a thorough investigation of corrupt officials, you two will definitely be the first to be implicated.

Because you two despicable things dared to steal even from the imperial treasury, I'm telling you, hurry up and atone for your sins, don't think that His Highness doesn't know about your little schemes.

If His Highness ever decides to punish you, you two will surely be sent to the guillotine as a warning to others.

This trip to the Imperial Land by the Crown Prince is a great opportunity to fleece the Nine Heavens Profound Dao Sect.

Where there's a ring, there's bound to be gambling; it's something ingrained in the human race.

Go ahead and place your bets, bet as much as you have.

If you bet all the money you've embezzled, you'll definitely make a fortune. Then, use that money to apologize and beg for forgiveness.

In terms of cultivation and underhanded tactics, Xiao Jiu and Qin Feng prided themselves on not being afraid of Jin Mantang, but when it came to playing with money, the two of them combined were no match for the little fat man.

Just as they were hesitating about whether to actually take out all the money they had stolen from their pockets, they realized they were going to steal it again.

With a single decree from the Emperor and Empress, countless civil officials who had gone too far in their arrogance were executed.
