The last battle before leaving Haizhou was fierce.
But the gains were also considerable.
His cultivation level was still at the peak of the Ninth Grade Divine Realm.
But his strength has improved even further.
The body grows stronger through destruction and rebirth.
But the biggest boost came from the Blood Spring.
The heart stores twice as much blood and qi as before.
This not only means that he can maintain his burst of power for longer, but also that his strength will become even more terrifying after using Blood Frenzy.
If he were to face that person again, Li Fan was confident that he could kill him at a much lower cost.
......
After leaving the Zhenwu Division, Li Fan went straight into a teahouse.
The teahouse was not far from the Zhenyun Prince's Mansion, and not long after he sat down...
The number of tea drinkers in the teahouse gradually increased.
"Have you heard? The talks broke down?"
"What, the talks broke down?"
"The establishment of the Martial Arts Alliance!"
"As expected, the rivers and lakes of Yunzhou are not like those rotten fish and shrimp in the South China Sea."
Trying to control the men of Yunzhou is like trying to climb to heaven!
"That makes a lot of sense!"
Soon, murmurs of discussion could be heard in the teahouse.
"No, no!"
"Oh? What message did Master Li receive?"
"Of course there is news."
Five days later, the Prince's Palace, the Zhenwu Division, and the three major sects will jointly hold a tournament.
The man known as Master Li took a sip of tea and continued, "Each side will select five people from the younger generation. There are no rules, and the selection will continue until one side is defeated!"
This arena battle will determine whether the Martial Arts Alliance will be established.
"Then this battle is a foregone conclusion!"
Even if the Zhenyun Prince's Mansion and the Zhenwu Division were combined, they wouldn't be enough to defeat the three major sects.
"Why bother with the three major sects? With Wang Taicang of the Misty Sect making his move, the outcome was already decided!"
"That's true, after all, the Yunzhou Zhenwu Division doesn't have a Ba Dao Li Fan!"
"What else is there to say? The Yunzhou Martial Arts Alliance is hereby disbanded!"
In the teahouse, everyone expressed their opinions.
Most people believed that the Zhenwu Division and the Prince's Mansion were bound to lose.
But just then, a martial artist dressed in black robes sneered, "You know nothing!"
The Prince's Palace will surely win this battle!
"Who the hell are you...?"
Some people were about to curse, but when they saw the character "cloud" embroidered on the black-robed warrior's chest, they immediately shut up.
In the entire Yunzhou, only the people of the Zhenyun Prince's Mansion are allowed to wear this outfit.
"The ruler of Yunzhou is my prince."
The Heavenly Gu Sect and the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect are overestimating themselves and trying to oppose my lord; they're courting death!
After saying that, he got up and left the teahouse.
"What's with the arrogance? He's nothing but a dog of the Prince's mansion!"
"Wait, did you guys notice what he said?"
He only mentioned the Heavenly Gu Sect and the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect.
What about the Misty Sect?
"The Misty Sect has sided with the Zhenyun Royal Palace this time!"
A voice came from inside the teahouse again.
The speaker was the man who had been called Master Li.
"If the Zhenyun Prince's Mansion wins, the Martial Arts Alliance will be established."
If the Heavenly Gu Sect wins, the Martial Alliance's plan will be aborted.
"Holy crap! There's no suspense left, the Zhenyun Prince's Mansion is a sure win!"
"It's over, it's over, the good days are over."
"With the Martial Arts Alliance, we will never be free again."
From inside the teahouse, cries of agony could be heard.
"Crying and sobbing, they're all acting like women!"
True strength lies in never complaining about one's circumstances!
A voice suddenly rang out in the teahouse.
The speaker was a burly man with a full beard and an imposing presence.
When the tea drinkers saw who was speaking, they all looked at him with disdain.
"Liu Heng, you gambling addict, shut up!"
"Trying to scam money again?"
"Get out of here! You're the weakest one here!"
Boos and hisses rose from the teahouse.
Liu Heng was not angry. He said in a serious tone, "You bunch of idiots."
Whether the Martial Arts Alliance is established or not, what we need to do now is to charge forward together and make a fortune!
The Prince of Zhenyun's Mansion will surely win this battle.
The major gambling dens are probably just opening now, and the odds for betting on Zhenyun Wangfu to win are 5 to 1.
I have mortgaged all of my family's main house and farmland.
Just waiting to make a small profit!
After Liu Heng finished speaking, the teahouse became so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
"I just remembered, my baby hasn't had a feeding yet, so I'll have to go now!"
One of them suddenly spoke, and before his companion could react, he had already rushed out of the teahouse.
At this point, anyone who wasn't a fool would know that betting on the Prince of Zhenyun's mansion was as easy as picking up money.
Then, a commotion broke out in the teahouse, and figures left without saying a word.
After everyone had left, Liu Heng calmly sat down and drank tea.
He was a gambler and didn't care about odds of 5 to 1.
If you're going to gamble, gamble big!
Ya Tian Gu Zong Sheng.
Although the odds for Tian Gu Zong Sheng are currently only 1 to 3.
But he believed that as long as enough people bet on the Zhenyun Prince's Mansion, the odds for Tiangu Zongsheng would definitely go up.
That will be the time for him to stake everything he has.
If you win, you'll be dressed in fine clothes and riding a spirited horse.
Losing means the end of it all.
......
"Your Highness, the message has been sent out."
All 216 gambling dens in the city were open for business.
Our people are also heading to other states and counties.
"Understood. Keep a close eye on this matter."
"Yes, sir!"
After dismissing the visitors, Zhou Wucheng crossed the quiet covered bridge.
Deep within the mansion, steam rises from a hot spring.
The area around the soup is carved with white jade.
"Greetings, Your Highness!"
Around the hot spring, maids bowed and paid their respects.
The sheer skirt revealed her fair skin clearly.
Occasionally crimson hues appear, all signs of spring.
Zhou Wucheng was in high spirits. He embraced two maids and leaped into the hot spring.
In the center of the hot spring, mandarin ducks played in the water for a while.
Zhou Wucheng lay on the edge of the hot spring, enjoying the warm and fragrant embrace.
This time, it's not only about giving my second brother an explanation, but also a great opportunity to make a fortune.
Cloud Madness!
After this, let's see how arrogant you all are.
......
"Everyone says Yunzhou is arrogant, but I think that's all there is to it!"
Long Xiaoyun scoffed, "If you don't want to join the Martial Arts Alliance, just pick up your sword and fight. Why bother with all this fancy stuff?"
"Simple-minded and physically weak!"
No sooner had Long Xiaoyun finished speaking than Zhang Jin sneered, "Haven't you heard that something fishy must be going on?"
"Then tell me, where is the demon?"
Long Xiaoyun looked unconvinced.
"I have no idea!"
Zhang Jin replied confidently.
"You son of a bitch..."
"If you're not convinced, let's fight one-on-one!"
After Zhang Jin finished speaking, Long Xiaoyun fell silent.
If you are not as strong as others, you deserve to be bullied!
Zhang Jin, you wait.
Things change, and fortunes can shift dramatically. Never underestimate a young person's potential.
"Master, how about we make some money too?"
Li Xiaoxiao looked at Li Fan with shining eyes: "If we can win against the Zhenyun Prince's Mansion, we'll make as much money as we can."
"No betting, we'll be the banker!"
Li Fan shook his head.
