Chapter 3275: Listening In
h* *swoosh*.... The Black Golden Cloak of the Mirage Wolf Leader was instantly riddled with more than ten holes. The sword formation continued its relentless assault, attacking the core of the Mirage...Compared to the comprehension gained, those mere 10,000 low-grade immortal crystals seem insignificant. After all, immortal crystals can be earned again if lost, but improving one's strength is not so easy.
As long as his strength improves, he won't have any trouble earning Xianjing. Chen Bin Yue although guessed that the outside gambling ring was probably related to Lu Xia Tian, but this wasn't the other party's fault. After all, it was him who took the initiative to come and challenge. It wasn't as if Lu Xia Tian had forcefully brought him over with a knife.

“Thank you for the guidance, fellow Daoist from the East.” After the defeat, Chen Binyue did not behave as most people expected, with anger and fury. Instead, he was sincerely grateful and looked at Lu Xiaoteng with a thankful expression.
"That's strange, they lost the match and paid a price of 10,000 low-grade immortal crystals. They even thanked their opponent It wouldn't be that they had secretly made an agreement beforehand, would it" Some immortals watching from below muttered to themselves as they saw Chen Bin's actions.
Who knows
“Come on, even Xuan Feng Dao Chen Bingyue is quite famous. How could he do such a thing. It's probably that someone was grateful to Dongfang Dansheng for stopping at the last moment and not harming them.” Someone guessed right away.

Besides these guessers, there were also a few true immortals who had seen through some clues. They speculated that Chen Bin might benefit greatly from this battle. Otherwise, even if Lu Xiaoteng won, Chen Bin shouldn't be so respectful towards him. Although fighting Lu Xiaoteng costs a high entry fee of 10,000 inferior immortal crystals, if one could gain progress in the art of combat through this duel, then these 10,000 inferior immortal crystals would be well worth spending.
At that moment, one or two powerful true immortals were also moved, but they didn't have so many fairy crystals on hand at the moment and had to go back and gather some more.
“Haha, it feels great. Brother Dongfang, this is yours. Take the tip and give it to those who relayed the message.” With things settled, Cheng Santong went straight to the point and spoke with Lu Xiaitian about dividing the spoils. As for Xiao Yu and the few others Cheng Santong had brought in, they naturally had their own arrangements to make.
Twenty thousand one hundred low-grade Xian crystals, Lu Xia Tian was surprised after receiving them. This opening a gambling den was more profitable than winning a fight on stage.
"Don't be surprised, this is just the beginning, there will be even more to come." Cheng Santong chuckled.
“Dongfang, if you could have ended the competition within thirty moves, we could have earned several thousand lower-grade Xian crystals.”
"Let's wait until after a few more matches. Exposing so much strength all at once, the bettors will become increasingly cautious." Lu Xiaottian said.
“That’s true. That being said, even if we fight, it won't be many rounds. Compared to Chen Bin, there aren't many True Immortal Realm experts who are stronger.” Cheng Santong said with a hint of regret.
"Let's see how many matches they can handle. One person might be too scared to get on stage, so maybe two or three could challenge together. With such high stakes involved, there will definitely be people willing to give it a try."
"Indeed, Brother Dongfang, you're quite brilliant," Cheng Santong exclaimed with a clap of his hands.
“Go ahead and busy yourself. I’ll just take a stroll around and then go back to cultivating.” Lu XiaTian smiled upon hearing this.
"Good, good, Dongfang brother, you should rest more." Cheng Santong's winnings weren't as much as Chong Xiaotian's, but he distributed some benefits to others and still had nearly 10,000 low-grade immortal crystals. At this moment, he was smiling so widely his mouth almost reached the back of his head. He was already imagining himself winning several more rounds and having a steady stream of immortal crystals rolling in.
This battle yielded over 30,000 low-grade Xian crystals. Although this kind of outcome couldn't last forever, as long as it could continue for a while, it would be enough to make up for the previous losses and even have some surplus.
Cheng Santong busied himself, after all, he had to spread the word to more fairy army camps, summon more true immortals to bet, and even find collaborators from other fairy army camps who would accept agency bets. It was all a matter that required a great deal of energy.

Otherwise, relying solely on this camp of fairy troops, even if they were currently campaigning in the Phantom Mist Swamp and received twice their usual pay, it wouldn't amount to much. After a few such instances, they wouldn't squeeze out much profit. Only by targeting other fairy troop camps could they earn more.

Now that the scene was set, there were many things Cheng Santong needed to arrange. Lu Xia Tian walked around the area by himself. After this period of time familiarizing himself with the fairy army camp, due to Cheng Santong's relationship, Lu Xia Tian's range of activities had increased significantly compared to before.
At this time, Lu Xiaoteng just happened to overhear a conversation between two true immortals in private.
"Ugh, I lost everything this time. Some of it was even borrowed using a True Immortal werewolf as collateral. Without the immortal crystals to pay back the loan, that True Immortal werewolf's body... Meng Laoer probably won't return our True Immortal werewolf. What are we going to use to report back to Lord Si Zheng"
"This, this is how could it be good." Another black and sturdy True Immortal was also sweating profusely from anxiety.
“You said you never wanted the corpses of overworked, demon-level werewolves before, but now you want them all the time. You're not satisfied with them being killed by the wolf riders, you even have to steal their corpses back for this! Because of this, the wolf riders who were almost defeated on the battlefield suddenly went berserk again when they saw our actions. We watched as the victory we had was reversed under their frenzy. Even if it wasn't reversed, we suffered a lot of losses. This forced the wolf riders to become enemies with us.” The plump and round true immortal complained bitterly.
“Things were already at a stalemate, but now it's pushing the Wolf Riders even harder. I was also curious before, an older brother of mine knows quite a bit. I heard that these wolf corpses are used to refine the Poisoned Wolf Demon Gu. It is said that the wolf clan in the demon realm fears this thing the most. However, cultivating the Poisoned Wolf Demon Gu is extremely difficult. But the Wolf Riders are indeed powerful, several Immortal Domains' armies have been crippled, almost completely lost. We had a harder time resisting the Wolf Riders' attacks before, but now with the Poisoned Wolf Demon Gu, the killing power against them has definitely increased.”
“It’s just that under the frantic onslaught of the wolf riders, our casualties are greater than ever before. It seems like those in power are willing to sacrifice us to exchange with the wolf riders.”
The Black and Strong True Immortal's voice also carried a hint of dissatisfaction, "Logically speaking, there aren't many wolf riders in the Illusory Mist Swamp. Our Heavenly Court dispatched more celestial armies, and several senior cultivators at the Tianxian realm came over, they would have quelled the disturbances here long ago. Why has it dragged on until now"

It's not entirely like that. When other celestial armies arrive, even if they wipe out the wolf riders of the Illusory Mist Marsh, someone else will take over these spirit crystal veins. Moreover, it's easy to invite gods but difficult to send them away. Now that we've invited them here, it might be difficult to get rid of them later. They might even try to plant their roots here permanently.
This is just the upper echelon's calculations. Even if we control the immortal crystal veins, the benefits still primarily accrue to them. We fight tooth and nail, but it's unlikely we'll see much of a reward.r flowing behind them, appeared hazy and indistinct... 。All the present demons, including Yaocishu and Baili Fei, weren't blind. They could clearly see that this was caused by Lu Xia Tian's transform...
