As soon as they finished speaking, the three of them decisively flew into the fray.
"Hey~ you bunch of bastards, if you know what's good for you, put down your treasure right now."
"Take Brother Pan's advice: this treasure is too complicated, you definitely can't handle it."
“That’s right, such extraordinary fortune should be handed over to us for safekeeping.”
Instantly, the entire competition venue descended into chaos, completely devoid of the solemnity expected of a martial arts contest.
Su Jinyi was knocked to the ground by the crowd and endured being trampled by countless large feet.
But he still roared as he crawled between the legs of the crowd, shouting repeatedly, "This is mine, mine, nobody can take it from me."
However, no one paid any attention to the clown, and more large feet swept over his head like a whirlwind.
Su Jinyun was knocked to the ground with a single punch, looking as delicate as a little girl.
He struggled to get up, wanting to join the scramble, but someone slapped his thigh, followed by a righteous voice in his ear.
"Wow, you're pretty sturdy!"
What are you going to do?
"Oh, you're blushing~ Let me see."
"Who are you? What do you want?"
"Of course, it's to check if your development is normal!"
"No~~"
"Be good, let me see~"
While Su Jinyun was being bullied by a muscular man, Su Xuejiao was also being slapped by a group of female cultivators.
Because Su Xuejiao flirted with many male cultivators during the competition, many of whom were married women, they harbored resentment.
If not now, when?
"You dare seduce my man? I'll slap you to death, you little vixen!"
"Does she think she can seduce men just because she has a vixen-like face?"
"Tell me, did you seduce my Daoist partner that day and sleep with him?"
"I'll scratch your face!"
"You shameless slut, I'll teach you to seduce men! I'll beat you to death, you shameless whore!"
"Tear her clothes to shreds, let the whole world see her filthy body!"
"No, no, please let me go!"
Su Xuejiao had never suffered such humiliation before. Coupled with the fact that her cultivation had been destroyed, she could only desperately protect her outer garment, which she was not wearing undergarments, while the female cultivators tore at and beat her.
When Yin Jiao'e saw this scene, her mind went completely blank.
Just then, Niu Shiren, the fifty-year-old head of the underground bank, stood in front of him.
"Madam, when are you going to repay the money you owe our Niu Si Money House?"
Yin Jiao'e was startled. Looking at Niu Shiren, who was obese and had a lewd face, she couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart.
"Don't worry, I will definitely pay back the money I owe your bank."
Niu Diren said, "Madam, you signed a betting contract. You said your daughter would definitely be among the top ten in the competition, but now, the bet has been lost."
According to the agreement, with odds of twelve times, you should pay the Hidden Money Shop 3.6 million spirit stones. May I ask how you intend to pay, Madam?
Upon hearing this, Yin Jiao'e was immediately shocked.
Three million six hundred thousand spirit stones?
Even if the entire Su family were to empty their coffers, they probably wouldn't have that much money.
"Boss Niu, could you give me a few more days? I'll go back and raise the money right away and pay you back immediately."
Niu Shiren laughed and said, "Madam, you must have borrowed the money behind your family's back, right?"
Yin Jiao'e bit her lower lip and remained silent.
"So, Madam, you don't want your husband to find out about this, right?"
"You, what do you want?"
"Since you can't come up with that much money, then you can only pay off your debts the way I suggested."
"What method?"
“Your daughter is quite pretty. Send her to Tianxian Tower for some training, and she’ll definitely become another famous courtesan in Daliang City. Your two sons are also in good shape; they could make a lot of money selling their bodies.”
Yin Jiao'e's pupils constricted; she simply couldn't believe that her loved ones' fate would be like this.
Niu Diren gave Yin Jiao'e one last look, then clicked his tongue in approval: "As for you, Madam, you still retain your charm and beauty."
Why don't you come with me for a year first? During this year, I will give you a wonderful experience of life you've never had before, and I'm sure you'll love it.
Yin Jiao'e looked at Niu Shiren's lewd eyes and imagined his greasy body.
In an instant, she broke out in a cold sweat and forced a smile: "Manager Niu... give me ten more days. I will definitely deliver the spirit stones in ten days."
"Three days. I'll only give you three days. If I don't see the spirit stones after three days, then Madam will have to do as I say. Don't even think about running away; you can't escape."
After saying that, Niu Shiren turned around and left with a lewd grin, leaving Yin Jiao'e bewildered in the wind.
The situation was completely out of control. Shen Zhao and Liang Hao, the two sixth brothers, had been waiting for this kind of big scene for far too long.
"Several thousand people vying for a single pill—such a scene is a once-in-a-century occurrence. Today has truly broadened my horizons."
Wu Yousheng, however, found it all very interesting and watched with great interest from the high platform.
...
The farce lasted for half an hour, and the four members of the Su family ultimately failed to protect the Yuan-Sculpting Pill, fleeing the scene with bruises and swelling on their faces.
The scene was so chaotic that even Shen Zhao didn't know who had the pill.
It doesn't matter. As long as Shen Zhao has one set of materials, he can refine dozens of sets of this Yuan-Sculpting Pill for you.
In the following days of competition, due to Shen Zhao's wealth and Su Yunying's formidable strength, everyone who faced him voluntarily forfeited.
And so, Su Yunying successfully advanced to the final round.
To Shen Zhao's surprise, Su Yunying's opponent, Yue Ming, was actually Linghu Ming.
Linghu Ming was born into the Linghu family in the Dao Domain.
His mother was a holy maiden of the Demon Realm, who married Linghu Mo, the sword emperor of the Heavenly Palace Holy Dynasty, and gave birth to Linghu Ming.
Therefore, Linghu Ming possesses two supreme martial arts techniques, the Heavenly Demon Illusionary Divine Art and the Heaven and Earth Vertical and Horizontal Sword, making him an absolute prodigy among his peers.
In the previous nine lifetimes, Shen Zhao fought with Linghu Ming when he was obtaining the Xuan Tian Scripture in the Dao Domain. They fought for three days and three nights without being able to determine a winner.
During their fight, Linghu Ming and Shen Zhao became close friends after their initial encounter.
But why is Linghu Ming in the Southern Region now?
While Shen Zhao was puzzled, he used his divine sense to examine Linghu Ming.
"Oh no, this is the third level of the Selfless Realm. How come this guy's cultivation is even higher than when we met in previous lives?"
