Chapter 577: The game of life and death, Chu Wujiang's way of winning ()
In this game, only one person can survive.
It lets everyone vote to choose who survives, and they cannot vote for themselves.
No one present had expected such vicious rules of the game.
Its purpose is easy to guess.
A true ruler, even if he has no strength or power, can still make people die for you.
The purpose of the Abyss Game is to select the true ruler.
Only in this way can one become a qualified magic saint.
Just as Napoleon returned from a desert island, the entire French army surrendered directly and pledged allegiance to His Majesty the Emperor.
Even if you are down and out, you can still drive your subordinates to work for you.
This is how a person's core charm and leadership ability can be seen.
The Abyss Game selects the leader of the magic sect.
It just so happened that Chu Wujiang had just arrived in the Abyss Game. Under the restrictions of Yuanshi Tianmo, he could not mobilize much power, but there were still people he could trust.
Di Ziling trusts Chu Wujiang. She is willing to risk her own life and put all her chips on Chu Wujiang.
This gave Chu Wujiang an advantage.
Chu Wujiang said:
[Your Highness, don't be anxious. ]
[Stay away from me first, so that others won’t notice. ]
【We have to keep it secret to prevent anyone from plotting against us. 】
The enemy will vote for their own people based on their performance, and Chu Wujiang will only expose Di Ziling when necessary.
No one would have thought that a princess would place her vote on a mere gambling king.
Di Ziling nodded vigorously and said:
【I understand. 】
[We pretend to have a conversation and then go in front of everyone to canvass for votes! ]
Di Ziling pretended to come over and say a few words, then withdrew from Chu Wujiang's side, and then promised to canvass votes for others.
Chu Wujiang immediately asked:
[Wait, does the princess have any chips or pigs? ]
Di Ziling showed an embarrassed look and whispered:
[No, no. 】
[I got the Abyss Stone, but I never thought it was a game like this. I thought it was a battle of wits. I’m pretty good at playing cards.]
After all, Di Ziling is not a member of the Left-Way Alliance, so how could she prepare pigs in advance?
Chu Wujiang nodded and said:
[Then Your Highness, please go over and exchange the chips immediately. ]
【Be sure to show your chips. 】
Chu Wujiang immediately activated his soul power, replicated the appearance of the chips, used the devil's thoughts to hide them, and sent them to Di Ziling.
Di Ziling was shocked and said:
[My Lord, where did you get these chips? ]
Chu Wujiang said unhappily:
【fake. 】
【what? 】
Di Ziling was surprised.
Is this possible?
Chu Wujiang explained:
[The essence of the Abyss Game is to select the ruler. ]
【What is a qualified ruler? 】
[Use deception, fear, and finally a little bit of faith to dominate the other party. 】
[They will only be in awe and fear of you when they find that you have enough chips. ]
[These chips cannot be used for throwing, but they can prove your identity and make people come to please you. ]
[I have a total of 20 chips on me now. I will give you 10 real chips first, and then 90 fake chips. It is enough to overwhelm most opponents and scare them to death.]
【They will start all kinds of conspiracies with you as the center. 】
[No matter what conspiracy they use, they will win all their chips. ]
Lies, deception, fear, domination.
This is the instinct of rulers.
Whoever can make all beings afraid can control them.
Di Ziling asked in surprise:
[Champion Hou, can we win? 】
Chu Wujiang smiled and said:
【Of course. 】
[Why does the Abyss Game leave twelve hours for the first round? ]
[Obviously, this is to allow everyone to win chips through various means.]
Di Ziling suddenly realized, and a smile appeared on her face:
【I feel relieved as long as Champion Hou is here. 】
[Even if it means going to hell, I will follow you to the end. ]
Chu Wujiang smiled and said:
[What hell are you going to? I will lead you to victory and take away all the spoils. 】
[Don't worry, I have a hundred ways to win. ]
[Even without the use of force.]
Chu Wujiang's Yang Shen thoughts were rapidly studying the entire Abyss Game.
The two sides seemed to be separated by some kind of force, which made him feel that he was in a different dimension, with limited power to mobilize, and unable to break the deadlock directly by force.
Therefore, he concluded that the magic weapon of this abyss game must not be within the Destiny Dynasty.
The mastermind behind this must have hidden it in some different dimension, just like the Sumeru Realm in Buddhism.
That person used such means to isolate himself from the investigation of the imperial court and the holy land of martial arts.
What a good idea.
Although Chu Wujiang stored a large amount of energy and put it into his Yang Shen thoughts, it was still far from enough for him to make a big fuss and defeat his opponent.
The only way to explain all this is to treat the other party as a powerful Three Tribulations Spirit.
So Chu Wujiang was not in a hurry and continued to stand where he was, observing everyone's movements.
At this time, everyone was exchanging their chips in front of the blue torch, hiding them one by one for fear of being seen.
Because the amount of chips determines the future trend.
Thief King Li Da, Bandit King Zhang San, and Beggar King Su Qi were the first to exchange their chips, ranging from about 10 to 20 in total. This was equivalent to the trump cards in their hands, which were far more than everyone else.
Seeing this, Emperor Ziling said:
[My Lord, I will go and exchange the chips now.]
Just when Di Ziling was about to go to the Blue Torch to perform the chip exchange, someone got there first.
Yue Zangfeng, a true disciple of the Sword God Sect and nicknamed "Sword Lord", came in front of the blue torch and said coldly:
"I have fifty people, all of whom can be exchanged for chips."
As soon as these words came out, the whole audience was shocked.
Fifty people, he was right.
It is not very common to find genius disciples in a top-level sect.
If Yue Zangfeng really took out 50 chips, it would mean that all the talented disciples of this generation of the Sword God Sect were caught by their own people.
No wonder the Sword God Sect had almost no presence at this Young Heroes Conference.
Perhaps they are frantically investigating the mystery of their disciples' disappearance.
The Sword God Sect is one of the few that is independent of the three holy places and is recognized as a top-notch sect of the righteous path.
Its strength is enough to be compared with Fayuan Temple and Biluo Fairy Palace. It believes in the Sword God and concentrates on practicing swordsmanship.
Who would have thought that such a traitor would appear.
There was a clang.
The Sword Master did not hide. In public, he turned the talented disciples of the Sword God Sect into blue chips.
This person must be the biggest enemy in this Abyss Game.
The thief king Li Da stared at the sword master, thinking about how to steal.
According to the current rules of the game, they will continue the competition for a whole day, and as long as the voting is not completed, there will be a chance to steal other people's chips.
Stealing is allowed.
He still has twelve hours to rely on his talent as the Thief King to steal the chips.
The blue torch simply says that participants in the game cannot use force to disrupt the game.
But it doesn’t say you can’t steal.
The stolen chips are all yours.
The thief king winked and told the two of them the plan.
The Beggar King and the Bandit King quickly understood each other and formed an alliance.
The thief king suggested:
[Kill the Sword Master first, and then we'll discuss who will survive to the end. ]
The Beggar King nodded and said:
【The old beggar agreed with this method.】
The bandit king asked angrily:
[Boss Li, what is Heijiu doing? ]
The thief king pondered and said:
[Heijiu and Qianyi have some connection, I'm afraid he has some more ideas, and he is not the same kind of person as us. ]
[Qianyi has already taken refuge with the Duke's Mansion, unlike us who just compromise and pretend to cater to the Marquis' Mansion or the Red Gate.]
【Ignore him for now.】
Li Da, Qian Yi, Zhang San, Su Qi, Hei Jiu...
These are not the real names of the evildoers. They just joined the evil ways and in order to prevent their families from being dishonored, they took stage names to conceal their identities.
Qianyi's real name is Qianhuan. He is called Qianhuan in the Duke's Mansion, and Qianyi in Zuodao.
Li Da is one of the most important figures in the Left-Way Alliance. Even if he joins Ling Yun and the Marquis of Guanjun Mansion, it does not mean that he is loyal. He is just looking for a way out for himself.
Bandit King Zhang San nodded upon hearing this and said:
[No problem, I'll kill Jian Jun first, then force Hei Jiu to join us, and eat up the rest of the scum.]
[Outsiders are not allowed to interfere in the affairs of the Leftist Alliance.]
In the eyes of the Bandit King, [Abyss Game] is a treasure that only the Left-handed Alliance deserves to own. Generation after generation of left-handed figures have contributed countless blood, flesh, and luck here.
As a result, outsiders get involved and want to reap the benefits, which is absolutely not allowed.
Just as the three of them quickly reached an agreement to defeat the Sword Master.
The Sword Master seemed to sense the malice of the three people and couldn't help but sneer in his heart.
He dared to participate in the Abyss Game because he was sure of winning. Except for the strongest few in the sect, almost an entire generation was wiped out by him just to break through the limit.
Ranked 98th on the Hidden Dragon List, he is indeed outstanding among the locals, but he cannot possibly be the strongest.
For this, what does a sect mean?
The Sword Master announced the number of chips this time in order to overwhelm others with his strength.
He is just a crooked person, not worth mentioning.
Apart from the fact that the gambling king just now was a little beyond expectations, everything else is not worth mentioning.
The Sword Master walked to the center of the square and shouted to the only woman present, Master Mingzhen:
"Master, you don't have any extra chips, right?"
"Let's unite."
"Don't you want to investigate how Xu Wenlin died?"
"He died in the Black Mountain Casino, and it was related to this gambling king."
Master Mingzhen's face suddenly changed, and she quickly asked:
"Is this true?"
The Sword Master said loudly:
"Of course it's true."
"Xu Wenlin was originally a disciple of the Wanjian Sect, a branch of the Jianshen Sect. Later, he became addicted to gambling and was expelled from the sect."
"Yue came to Nanzhou this time just to find his whereabouts, but someone got there first."
"That's not a lie."
Since Jian Jun wanted to participate in this Abyss Game, he naturally did his homework and even prepared more chips than the old-school underworld figures.
Master Mingzhen is Xu Wenlin's aunt. Her nephew's whereabouts are unknown, so she set out from the sect and even ventured into the Abyss Game. Naturally, she did not prepare any chips.
Now that the enemies meet, they are extremely jealous.
Master Mingzhen clasped her hands together, chanted a Buddhist name, suppressed her anger and asked:
"Namo Amitabha, may I ask, sir, is what Young Master Yue said true?"
Master Mingzhen investigated all the way and found out that the casino staff kept their mouth shut, so she followed Yue Zangfeng's suggestion and participated in the Abyss Game.
Chu Wujiang said lightly:
"Xu Wenlin has nothing to do with this old man."
"He did come to the casino and lost a full 100,000 silver coins to the leader of Qianmen."
"In order to pay off his gambling debts, he left with the leader of Qianmen. I don't know where he went."
Master Mingzhen now understood that her nephew must have become a pig. She couldn't help but say:
"Okay!"
"So this left-wing alliance is actually doing this kind of thing."
"I guess the black donor has done a lot of things."
Chu Wujiang said coldly:
"Could it be that Master Mingzhen intends to take revenge on a certain family?"
"That's the wrong person."
"Look, Young Master Yue got 50 chips, which is much more than someone else's!"
Master Mingzhen said:
"Namo Amitabha!"
"I have no choice but to let this unorthodox alliance win."
"As for this Young Master Yue, I will not let him win. We will just join forces for the time being."
Chu Wujiang couldn't help but laugh:
"Master wants to fight for luck, but pretends to be concerned about the righteous path. It's really ridiculous."
The Montenegrin Casino is a ruthless place that sets up thousands of gambling games and defrauds people of their fortunes. They are not good people.
The problem is that Young Master Xu is also a bully.
The King of Gambling and the King of Thousands of Money are not good people, but they did a good thing by murdering Xu Wenlin.
Sword Master Yue Zangfeng immediately added:
"Master, don't listen to the gambling king's words. Let's work together to solve these unorthodox practices, and then we can make some plans."
Master Mingzhen felt that she had no bargaining chips, and the three evil people were uniting, so she agreed on the spot:
"Okay, I'll promise you."
At this time, the Sword Master turned to the Dung Tyrant [Feitian] and said:
"You are the head of Kinmaru-do, Hida, right?"
Fei Tian asked in surprise:
"Young Master Yue, do you know me?"
The Sword Master nodded and said:
"know a little."
"You have no future in alliance with the left."
"Why not follow me?"
Fenba Feitian agreed on the spot and said:
"it is good!"
"I am willing."
The three people of Zuo Dao formed a team. According to the way they were when they exchanged, Chu Wujiang had already released the devil's thoughts and observed quietly.
Therefore, he could know accurately that the Zuodao team had a total of 100 chips.
The Sword Master and the Nun teamed up with a Dung Tyrant to form a team. Under the premise that the Dung Tyrant and the Nun did not exchange chips, their chip count was the clearest, and the Righteous Team had 110 chips.
Each of them has his own ulterior motives.
Only Chu Wujiang and Di Ziling were left. Chu Wujiang saw that the eight people had been initially assigned, so he used the secret technique to transmit his voice:
[Your Highness, it's your turn. ]
【Don't worry, Champion Hou, I'm here. 】
Di Ziling is also a person who likes to perform. Just now, Sword Master attracted most of the attention. Di Ziling had already switched things up and pretended that the exchange was completed.
She banged the chips together, showing them off like a rich local.
Everyone's eyes gathered and they couldn't help but gasp.
Di Ziling smiled disdainfully:
"Just 50 chips, what's the big deal?"
"This time, Prince Jin's Mansion has prepared 100 chips and is determined to win this game."
"Gambling King Heijiu, I see you are alone, how about you follow me?"
Chu Wujiang immediately shouted:
"Your Highness, may you live a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand thousand years."
"I will give you the exchange chips right now."
"I didn't prepare much, only 10."
Chu Wujiang was not polite. Since the gambling king had prepared the chips, those people were declared dead when they entered the abyss game.
There was no way Chu Wujiang would not use it. He came to the blue torch and exchanged 10 chips again in front of everyone.
This move deepened everyone's understanding of the number of chips.
The Wangfu team formed by Di Ziling has 150 chips, the largest number of chips so far.
Summarized as follows:
Three people on the left: 100 chips
Three Righteous People: 110 chips
Two people in the palace: 150 chips (actually 50 chips)
The three parties appear to be evenly matched.
And Di Ziling began her performance.
What is the most core content of a noble’s education?
martial arts?
No, it's drama, performance.
A politician's most acute sense is to understand what to say in what occasion, and what expressions and actions to make in order to deceive the public.
Although Di Ziling is usually a little confused, she can keep her composure in critical situations.
She said to Chu Wujiang:
"It seems the outcome has been decided."
"Gambling King Heijiu, this princess has signed an agreement with you. When I return to the human world in the future, I will definitely take care of your disciples and grandchildren."
"And you will offer all your chips to this princess."
"This princess will also give you all the chips, and you will hand them over to me."
Despite the rules of the game, participants cannot vote for themselves.
But Chu Wujiang keenly discovered that the rules of the game did not prohibit giving the chips to others and then voting.
He initially gave Di Ziling ten chips, and on the way to exchange them, he tested the result.
Totally doable.
So Chu Wujiang bowed respectfully and said:
"Yes, Your Highness the Princess."
"I am willing to die for you."
Di Ziling smiled and said:
"For those who are willing to pay the chips, this princess will not be stingy with rewards and promises in signing contracts."
Di Ziling used her power as a princess to display dragon energy in the square to force others to submit.
Well done!
Di Ziling used the agreement signed by the two to further oppress everyone, making it difficult for them to breathe.
Compared to the promise of Her Royal Highness the Princess, the promise of Sword Lord, a guy who betrayed the sect and retaliated against the sect, seems more credible.
Seeing that everyone was wavering, Di Ziling immediately added fuel to the fire and said:
"Thief King, Bandit King, Beggar King, you shall also be dealt with as usual."
"As long as you are willing to hand over your bargaining chips, the Jin Palace will take care of your family and your gang."
"We can sign the Abyss Contract."
The Thief King, the Bandit King, and the Beggar King fell silent.
They stood in the square and had the thought of giving in.
Death is everywhere.
It would be better to reach an agreement with Her Royal Highness first.
The Beggar King couldn't help but say:
"Let the old beggar calm down."
"can!"
Seeing that the Beggar King was wavering, Di Ziling would naturally pursue the victory and said to Master Mingzhen:
"What this princess despises most is the beasts who murder their own family members."
"Master Mingzhen, as a righteous person, do you want to help the tyrant to commit atrocities?"
Just now, the Sword Master deliberately attacked Chu Wujiang, so Di Ziling must of course help him get back at him. Moreover, compared to Li Da, the Sword Master is obviously more dangerous.
The Sword Master immediately retorted:
"Your Highness, you are just a little ahead."
“Don’t think you’ve won.”
The Sword Master cannot allow Di Ziling to take advantage of his power and shake up Master Ming Zhen and others. Once Di Ziling completes the snowballing, they will be doomed.
The Sword Master immediately said:
"Your Excellency the Thief King, let's join forces."
"If this princess continues to oppress us, then I would rather His Excellency the Thief King win."
"I will hand over all my chips to you, Your Excellency."
The thief king's eyes lit up, and he immediately said:
"This is true."
The Sword Master said without hesitation:
"of course."
"Your Highness, this direct voting method is unfair."
"We should find a game that everyone can accept, compete with each other, and increase the stakes, instead of trying to use our own strengths to suppress others."
Di Ziling sneered and said:
"This princess has the most bargaining chips, so why would I waste my time talking to you and participate in any competition?"
This is one of Chu Wujiang’s plans. Even if he has the least chips, he will act like he has the most chips, and then crush them one by one.
The voting game is not fair. It has a very important hidden condition: whoever has the most chips at the beginning can instantly overwhelm the minds of other allies.
The Sword Master said without showing any weakness:
"Then we'll fight to the death!"
"If I can't become the top sword cultivator, what's the meaning of my life?"
"All the geniuses of this generation of Sword God Sect have been killed by Yue. There is no turning back."
Sword Master Yue Zangfeng's swordsmanship is extremely heroic, and he is not afraid of dying together with the enemy.
So he is not the best disciple of the Sword God Sect, but he is the most daring person in the Sword God Sect.
The Sword Master said to the blue torch:
"Abyss Game, can we hold various game competitions and exchange chips?"
The blue torch smiled and said:
"of course can!"
"Any gambling equipment can be used if you need it."
As soon as Huo Torch finished speaking, dice, mahjong, cards, and everything else appeared in the square.
well.
They all had no doubt that the chips in Her Royal Highness's bag were fake. Only 30 of them were real, and the remaining 90 were fake.
Chu Wujiang suppressed the smile in his heart, stood up and said repeatedly:
"Your Highness is a worthless person, how can you be on the same level as a mortal like this?"
"I am the gambling king of the Black Mountain Casino. No matter what game they want to play, I can take it on behalf of Your Highness."
Only then did everyone realize how dangerous the combination of Di Ziling and Chu Wujiang was.
One has the most chips, the other has the best gambling skills.
If you want to surrender, do it as soon as possible.
It was obvious that the two of them had no bargaining chips, but they still forced everyone into a desperate situation.
At this time, Master Mingzhen spoke:
"We can't choose to gamble, otherwise we will definitely lose."
"Thief King, Beggar King, Bandit King, you are all evil people, do you have any way to deal with the Gambler King?"
The three of them looked at each other.
Although the gambling king's lineage did not win in the Left-wing Alliance, everyone knew that he was proficient in gambling and could gain a great advantage in the Abyss Game.
Now in this casino competition, they propose various ways of playing, all of which seem like they are seeking death.
At this time, the dung tyrant [Feitian] suggested:
"Why don't we choose some games that don't value gambling skills at all, and compete with Your Highness the Princess."
The thief king pondered and said:
"What do you mean by this?"
Feitian pointed at the gambling tools generated by the blue torch, pointed at the Go board and said:
"For example, Go is a good choice."
"Does anyone among us know how to play Go?"
That makes sense.
Go is a game for the nobility and is rarely played by people from the Left-Way Alliance. Although it is used by the general public to make colored chess pieces and for gambling, it is not popular because the threshold is too high.
The gambling king is proficient in all kinds of gambling techniques, but he may not be good at Go.
At this time, Master Mingzhen raised her hand and said:
"I know a little bit about Go."
"But I won't use my own chips."
Master Mingzhen is not a fool either. She and Sword Master are using each other. As long as they can defeat the gambling king and avenge their nephew, they will be considered successful.
But there was no way she could spend her own chips.
The Sword Master immediately used a secret technique to transmit the message:
[Master, how good is your Go level? ]
Master Mingzhen pondered and said:
[Not too high, top ten in Nanzhou. ]
[If the gambling king can participate in the chess circle, there is no way I have not heard of it. ]
The Sword Master was satisfied now:
"Don't worry, Master. I will sell the chips for you."
"You will take on the gambling king."
Of course, for the sake of being conservative, Jian Jun added:
"In the first round, only one chip is betted. Both parties understand the rules."
"What do you think, Your Highness?"
Jian Jun knows a little about Go, but he doesn't dare to say that he can participate in the competition, so he can only place his hopes on Master Mingzhen.
Di Ziling sneered and said:
"One chip, who are you looking down on?"
"You must place ten chips at stake, and this princess must fight in person."
Go is a game for nobility.
Obviously, when everyone saw this, they immediately misunderstood that Di Ziling’s Go level was very high.
The thief king immediately retorted:
"Your Highness, if you take advantage of everything, then this competition will not be able to continue."
"We can definitely hold on until the moment when you are sure to lose."
The Abyss Game has set a voting time of twelve hours.
They can wait until the moment they are sure to win before voting.
Even if Di Ziling has 150 chips, she cannot guarantee victory.
By then, the alliance between the left and right sides will be able to kill the two men.
Di Ziling looked hesitant.
She secretly asked Chu Wujiang:
[Champion Marquis, what should we do if they really want to waste time? ]
【We only have 50 chips. 】
Chu Wujiang said softly:
[Don't worry, Princess. I told you there are a hundred ways to win.]
[As soon as the clock announced the time, I released my spirit and attached myself to the clock, quietly changing the time displayed.]
[As long as it accumulates to a certain extent, they will mistakenly believe that there is still a lot of time. ]
[If they wait for time, they will definitely lose. ]
[Suppose they find out that there is still one hour left, but in fact there is only a quarter of an hour left, we can still decide the outcome at the last second.]
what……
Di Ziling finally understood how terrifying Chu Wujiang was.
He possesses the [Seven Apertures Heart] and a lot of luck.
Even though these fortunes cannot be used to kill people, they are still very useful.
If it comes to a battle of wits, you guys are no match for it.
At this time, Di Ziling showed hesitation and said to Chu Wujiang:
"Gambling King, can you play Go?"
Chu Wujiang seemed to be wearing a mask of pain, and said with some embarrassment:
"I am sure I can play Go, but Master Mingzhen is a famous Go master in Nanzhou."
"I am not completely sure, but I have a chance to defeat my opponent."
Di Ziling changed her words and said:
"Then why not change it into a bargaining chip and try it first."
At this time, the thief king retorted:
"Your Highness, a game of Go sometimes takes two or three hours."
"This chip will take forever."
Di Ziling sneered:
"Why, I have already given in, and you still want to push for more?"
The Sword Master quickly tried to smooth things over:
"Then why don't we both take a step back and just give up five chips?"
The thief king and others nodded and said:
"That's how it should be."
At this time, the Sword Master said:
"Since we are all going to join forces to fight against Her Highness, we have to make this chip together."
"Yue will give three, and you will give the remaining two."
The Sword Master is a cunning man.
Even if he lost, he wanted to weaken everyone equally to prevent them from defecting to Di Ziling's side.
The three thieves hesitated for a moment, and finally agreed with Sword Master's approach. After all, he was willing to take on the most chips.
The trio negotiated for a moment and decided that the beggar and the bandit leader would pay.
Chu Wujiang sat down to play Go, while Master Mingzhen heard the Sword Master's secret voice transmission:
[Master, if the gambling king's chess skills are not good. ]
【You must lose to him. 】
Master Mingzhen nodded and said:
【I understand, the fishing hook has been taken.】
Chu Wujiang picked up the Go board and made a move without any hesitation.
Start, Tianyuan.
Master Mingzhen was slightly stunned.
It seems that he is indeed not very good at chess.
(End of this chapter)
In this game, only one person can survive.
It lets everyone vote to choose who survives, and they cannot vote for themselves.
No one present had expected such vicious rules of the game.
Its purpose is easy to guess.
A true ruler, even if he has no strength or power, can still make people die for you.
The purpose of the Abyss Game is to select the true ruler.
Only in this way can one become a qualified magic saint.
Just as Napoleon returned from a desert island, the entire French army surrendered directly and pledged allegiance to His Majesty the Emperor.
Even if you are down and out, you can still drive your subordinates to work for you.
This is how a person's core charm and leadership ability can be seen.
The Abyss Game selects the leader of the magic sect.
It just so happened that Chu Wujiang had just arrived in the Abyss Game. Under the restrictions of Yuanshi Tianmo, he could not mobilize much power, but there were still people he could trust.
Di Ziling trusts Chu Wujiang. She is willing to risk her own life and put all her chips on Chu Wujiang.
This gave Chu Wujiang an advantage.
Chu Wujiang said:
[Your Highness, don't be anxious. ]
[Stay away from me first, so that others won’t notice. ]
【We have to keep it secret to prevent anyone from plotting against us. 】
The enemy will vote for their own people based on their performance, and Chu Wujiang will only expose Di Ziling when necessary.
No one would have thought that a princess would place her vote on a mere gambling king.
Di Ziling nodded vigorously and said:
【I understand. 】
[We pretend to have a conversation and then go in front of everyone to canvass for votes! ]
Di Ziling pretended to come over and say a few words, then withdrew from Chu Wujiang's side, and then promised to canvass votes for others.
Chu Wujiang immediately asked:
[Wait, does the princess have any chips or pigs? ]
Di Ziling showed an embarrassed look and whispered:
[No, no. 】
[I got the Abyss Stone, but I never thought it was a game like this. I thought it was a battle of wits. I’m pretty good at playing cards.]
After all, Di Ziling is not a member of the Left-Way Alliance, so how could she prepare pigs in advance?
Chu Wujiang nodded and said:
[Then Your Highness, please go over and exchange the chips immediately. ]
【Be sure to show your chips. 】
Chu Wujiang immediately activated his soul power, replicated the appearance of the chips, used the devil's thoughts to hide them, and sent them to Di Ziling.
Di Ziling was shocked and said:
[My Lord, where did you get these chips? ]
Chu Wujiang said unhappily:
【fake. 】
【what? 】
Di Ziling was surprised.
Is this possible?
Chu Wujiang explained:
[The essence of the Abyss Game is to select the ruler. ]
【What is a qualified ruler? 】
[Use deception, fear, and finally a little bit of faith to dominate the other party. 】
[They will only be in awe and fear of you when they find that you have enough chips. ]
[These chips cannot be used for throwing, but they can prove your identity and make people come to please you. ]
[I have a total of 20 chips on me now. I will give you 10 real chips first, and then 90 fake chips. It is enough to overwhelm most opponents and scare them to death.]
【They will start all kinds of conspiracies with you as the center. 】
[No matter what conspiracy they use, they will win all their chips. ]
Lies, deception, fear, domination.
This is the instinct of rulers.
Whoever can make all beings afraid can control them.
Di Ziling asked in surprise:
[Champion Hou, can we win? 】
Chu Wujiang smiled and said:
【Of course. 】
[Why does the Abyss Game leave twelve hours for the first round? ]
[Obviously, this is to allow everyone to win chips through various means.]
Di Ziling suddenly realized, and a smile appeared on her face:
【I feel relieved as long as Champion Hou is here. 】
[Even if it means going to hell, I will follow you to the end. ]
Chu Wujiang smiled and said:
[What hell are you going to? I will lead you to victory and take away all the spoils. 】
[Don't worry, I have a hundred ways to win. ]
[Even without the use of force.]
Chu Wujiang's Yang Shen thoughts were rapidly studying the entire Abyss Game.
The two sides seemed to be separated by some kind of force, which made him feel that he was in a different dimension, with limited power to mobilize, and unable to break the deadlock directly by force.
Therefore, he concluded that the magic weapon of this abyss game must not be within the Destiny Dynasty.
The mastermind behind this must have hidden it in some different dimension, just like the Sumeru Realm in Buddhism.
That person used such means to isolate himself from the investigation of the imperial court and the holy land of martial arts.
What a good idea.
Although Chu Wujiang stored a large amount of energy and put it into his Yang Shen thoughts, it was still far from enough for him to make a big fuss and defeat his opponent.
The only way to explain all this is to treat the other party as a powerful Three Tribulations Spirit.
So Chu Wujiang was not in a hurry and continued to stand where he was, observing everyone's movements.
At this time, everyone was exchanging their chips in front of the blue torch, hiding them one by one for fear of being seen.
Because the amount of chips determines the future trend.
Thief King Li Da, Bandit King Zhang San, and Beggar King Su Qi were the first to exchange their chips, ranging from about 10 to 20 in total. This was equivalent to the trump cards in their hands, which were far more than everyone else.
Seeing this, Emperor Ziling said:
[My Lord, I will go and exchange the chips now.]
Just when Di Ziling was about to go to the Blue Torch to perform the chip exchange, someone got there first.
Yue Zangfeng, a true disciple of the Sword God Sect and nicknamed "Sword Lord", came in front of the blue torch and said coldly:
"I have fifty people, all of whom can be exchanged for chips."
As soon as these words came out, the whole audience was shocked.
Fifty people, he was right.
It is not very common to find genius disciples in a top-level sect.
If Yue Zangfeng really took out 50 chips, it would mean that all the talented disciples of this generation of the Sword God Sect were caught by their own people.
No wonder the Sword God Sect had almost no presence at this Young Heroes Conference.
Perhaps they are frantically investigating the mystery of their disciples' disappearance.
The Sword God Sect is one of the few that is independent of the three holy places and is recognized as a top-notch sect of the righteous path.
Its strength is enough to be compared with Fayuan Temple and Biluo Fairy Palace. It believes in the Sword God and concentrates on practicing swordsmanship.
Who would have thought that such a traitor would appear.
There was a clang.
The Sword Master did not hide. In public, he turned the talented disciples of the Sword God Sect into blue chips.
This person must be the biggest enemy in this Abyss Game.
The thief king Li Da stared at the sword master, thinking about how to steal.
According to the current rules of the game, they will continue the competition for a whole day, and as long as the voting is not completed, there will be a chance to steal other people's chips.
Stealing is allowed.
He still has twelve hours to rely on his talent as the Thief King to steal the chips.
The blue torch simply says that participants in the game cannot use force to disrupt the game.
But it doesn’t say you can’t steal.
The stolen chips are all yours.
The thief king winked and told the two of them the plan.
The Beggar King and the Bandit King quickly understood each other and formed an alliance.
The thief king suggested:
[Kill the Sword Master first, and then we'll discuss who will survive to the end. ]
The Beggar King nodded and said:
【The old beggar agreed with this method.】
The bandit king asked angrily:
[Boss Li, what is Heijiu doing? ]
The thief king pondered and said:
[Heijiu and Qianyi have some connection, I'm afraid he has some more ideas, and he is not the same kind of person as us. ]
[Qianyi has already taken refuge with the Duke's Mansion, unlike us who just compromise and pretend to cater to the Marquis' Mansion or the Red Gate.]
【Ignore him for now.】
Li Da, Qian Yi, Zhang San, Su Qi, Hei Jiu...
These are not the real names of the evildoers. They just joined the evil ways and in order to prevent their families from being dishonored, they took stage names to conceal their identities.
Qianyi's real name is Qianhuan. He is called Qianhuan in the Duke's Mansion, and Qianyi in Zuodao.
Li Da is one of the most important figures in the Left-Way Alliance. Even if he joins Ling Yun and the Marquis of Guanjun Mansion, it does not mean that he is loyal. He is just looking for a way out for himself.
Bandit King Zhang San nodded upon hearing this and said:
[No problem, I'll kill Jian Jun first, then force Hei Jiu to join us, and eat up the rest of the scum.]
[Outsiders are not allowed to interfere in the affairs of the Leftist Alliance.]
In the eyes of the Bandit King, [Abyss Game] is a treasure that only the Left-handed Alliance deserves to own. Generation after generation of left-handed figures have contributed countless blood, flesh, and luck here.
As a result, outsiders get involved and want to reap the benefits, which is absolutely not allowed.
Just as the three of them quickly reached an agreement to defeat the Sword Master.
The Sword Master seemed to sense the malice of the three people and couldn't help but sneer in his heart.
He dared to participate in the Abyss Game because he was sure of winning. Except for the strongest few in the sect, almost an entire generation was wiped out by him just to break through the limit.
Ranked 98th on the Hidden Dragon List, he is indeed outstanding among the locals, but he cannot possibly be the strongest.
For this, what does a sect mean?
The Sword Master announced the number of chips this time in order to overwhelm others with his strength.
He is just a crooked person, not worth mentioning.
Apart from the fact that the gambling king just now was a little beyond expectations, everything else is not worth mentioning.
The Sword Master walked to the center of the square and shouted to the only woman present, Master Mingzhen:
"Master, you don't have any extra chips, right?"
"Let's unite."
"Don't you want to investigate how Xu Wenlin died?"
"He died in the Black Mountain Casino, and it was related to this gambling king."
Master Mingzhen's face suddenly changed, and she quickly asked:
"Is this true?"
The Sword Master said loudly:
"Of course it's true."
"Xu Wenlin was originally a disciple of the Wanjian Sect, a branch of the Jianshen Sect. Later, he became addicted to gambling and was expelled from the sect."
"Yue came to Nanzhou this time just to find his whereabouts, but someone got there first."
"That's not a lie."
Since Jian Jun wanted to participate in this Abyss Game, he naturally did his homework and even prepared more chips than the old-school underworld figures.
Master Mingzhen is Xu Wenlin's aunt. Her nephew's whereabouts are unknown, so she set out from the sect and even ventured into the Abyss Game. Naturally, she did not prepare any chips.
Now that the enemies meet, they are extremely jealous.
Master Mingzhen clasped her hands together, chanted a Buddhist name, suppressed her anger and asked:
"Namo Amitabha, may I ask, sir, is what Young Master Yue said true?"
Master Mingzhen investigated all the way and found out that the casino staff kept their mouth shut, so she followed Yue Zangfeng's suggestion and participated in the Abyss Game.
Chu Wujiang said lightly:
"Xu Wenlin has nothing to do with this old man."
"He did come to the casino and lost a full 100,000 silver coins to the leader of Qianmen."
"In order to pay off his gambling debts, he left with the leader of Qianmen. I don't know where he went."
Master Mingzhen now understood that her nephew must have become a pig. She couldn't help but say:
"Okay!"
"So this left-wing alliance is actually doing this kind of thing."
"I guess the black donor has done a lot of things."
Chu Wujiang said coldly:
"Could it be that Master Mingzhen intends to take revenge on a certain family?"
"That's the wrong person."
"Look, Young Master Yue got 50 chips, which is much more than someone else's!"
Master Mingzhen said:
"Namo Amitabha!"
"I have no choice but to let this unorthodox alliance win."
"As for this Young Master Yue, I will not let him win. We will just join forces for the time being."
Chu Wujiang couldn't help but laugh:
"Master wants to fight for luck, but pretends to be concerned about the righteous path. It's really ridiculous."
The Montenegrin Casino is a ruthless place that sets up thousands of gambling games and defrauds people of their fortunes. They are not good people.
The problem is that Young Master Xu is also a bully.
The King of Gambling and the King of Thousands of Money are not good people, but they did a good thing by murdering Xu Wenlin.
Sword Master Yue Zangfeng immediately added:
"Master, don't listen to the gambling king's words. Let's work together to solve these unorthodox practices, and then we can make some plans."
Master Mingzhen felt that she had no bargaining chips, and the three evil people were uniting, so she agreed on the spot:
"Okay, I'll promise you."
At this time, the Sword Master turned to the Dung Tyrant [Feitian] and said:
"You are the head of Kinmaru-do, Hida, right?"
Fei Tian asked in surprise:
"Young Master Yue, do you know me?"
The Sword Master nodded and said:
"know a little."
"You have no future in alliance with the left."
"Why not follow me?"
Fenba Feitian agreed on the spot and said:
"it is good!"
"I am willing."
The three people of Zuo Dao formed a team. According to the way they were when they exchanged, Chu Wujiang had already released the devil's thoughts and observed quietly.
Therefore, he could know accurately that the Zuodao team had a total of 100 chips.
The Sword Master and the Nun teamed up with a Dung Tyrant to form a team. Under the premise that the Dung Tyrant and the Nun did not exchange chips, their chip count was the clearest, and the Righteous Team had 110 chips.
Each of them has his own ulterior motives.
Only Chu Wujiang and Di Ziling were left. Chu Wujiang saw that the eight people had been initially assigned, so he used the secret technique to transmit his voice:
[Your Highness, it's your turn. ]
【Don't worry, Champion Hou, I'm here. 】
Di Ziling is also a person who likes to perform. Just now, Sword Master attracted most of the attention. Di Ziling had already switched things up and pretended that the exchange was completed.
She banged the chips together, showing them off like a rich local.
Everyone's eyes gathered and they couldn't help but gasp.
Di Ziling smiled disdainfully:
"Just 50 chips, what's the big deal?"
"This time, Prince Jin's Mansion has prepared 100 chips and is determined to win this game."
"Gambling King Heijiu, I see you are alone, how about you follow me?"
Chu Wujiang immediately shouted:
"Your Highness, may you live a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand thousand years."
"I will give you the exchange chips right now."
"I didn't prepare much, only 10."
Chu Wujiang was not polite. Since the gambling king had prepared the chips, those people were declared dead when they entered the abyss game.
There was no way Chu Wujiang would not use it. He came to the blue torch and exchanged 10 chips again in front of everyone.
This move deepened everyone's understanding of the number of chips.
The Wangfu team formed by Di Ziling has 150 chips, the largest number of chips so far.
Summarized as follows:
Three people on the left: 100 chips
Three Righteous People: 110 chips
Two people in the palace: 150 chips (actually 50 chips)
The three parties appear to be evenly matched.
And Di Ziling began her performance.
What is the most core content of a noble’s education?
martial arts?
No, it's drama, performance.
A politician's most acute sense is to understand what to say in what occasion, and what expressions and actions to make in order to deceive the public.
Although Di Ziling is usually a little confused, she can keep her composure in critical situations.
She said to Chu Wujiang:
"It seems the outcome has been decided."
"Gambling King Heijiu, this princess has signed an agreement with you. When I return to the human world in the future, I will definitely take care of your disciples and grandchildren."
"And you will offer all your chips to this princess."
"This princess will also give you all the chips, and you will hand them over to me."
Despite the rules of the game, participants cannot vote for themselves.
But Chu Wujiang keenly discovered that the rules of the game did not prohibit giving the chips to others and then voting.
He initially gave Di Ziling ten chips, and on the way to exchange them, he tested the result.
Totally doable.
So Chu Wujiang bowed respectfully and said:
"Yes, Your Highness the Princess."
"I am willing to die for you."
Di Ziling smiled and said:
"For those who are willing to pay the chips, this princess will not be stingy with rewards and promises in signing contracts."
Di Ziling used her power as a princess to display dragon energy in the square to force others to submit.
Well done!
Di Ziling used the agreement signed by the two to further oppress everyone, making it difficult for them to breathe.
Compared to the promise of Her Royal Highness the Princess, the promise of Sword Lord, a guy who betrayed the sect and retaliated against the sect, seems more credible.
Seeing that everyone was wavering, Di Ziling immediately added fuel to the fire and said:
"Thief King, Bandit King, Beggar King, you shall also be dealt with as usual."
"As long as you are willing to hand over your bargaining chips, the Jin Palace will take care of your family and your gang."
"We can sign the Abyss Contract."
The Thief King, the Bandit King, and the Beggar King fell silent.
They stood in the square and had the thought of giving in.
Death is everywhere.
It would be better to reach an agreement with Her Royal Highness first.
The Beggar King couldn't help but say:
"Let the old beggar calm down."
"can!"
Seeing that the Beggar King was wavering, Di Ziling would naturally pursue the victory and said to Master Mingzhen:
"What this princess despises most is the beasts who murder their own family members."
"Master Mingzhen, as a righteous person, do you want to help the tyrant to commit atrocities?"
Just now, the Sword Master deliberately attacked Chu Wujiang, so Di Ziling must of course help him get back at him. Moreover, compared to Li Da, the Sword Master is obviously more dangerous.
The Sword Master immediately retorted:
"Your Highness, you are just a little ahead."
“Don’t think you’ve won.”
The Sword Master cannot allow Di Ziling to take advantage of his power and shake up Master Ming Zhen and others. Once Di Ziling completes the snowballing, they will be doomed.
The Sword Master immediately said:
"Your Excellency the Thief King, let's join forces."
"If this princess continues to oppress us, then I would rather His Excellency the Thief King win."
"I will hand over all my chips to you, Your Excellency."
The thief king's eyes lit up, and he immediately said:
"This is true."
The Sword Master said without hesitation:
"of course."
"Your Highness, this direct voting method is unfair."
"We should find a game that everyone can accept, compete with each other, and increase the stakes, instead of trying to use our own strengths to suppress others."
Di Ziling sneered and said:
"This princess has the most bargaining chips, so why would I waste my time talking to you and participate in any competition?"
This is one of Chu Wujiang’s plans. Even if he has the least chips, he will act like he has the most chips, and then crush them one by one.
The voting game is not fair. It has a very important hidden condition: whoever has the most chips at the beginning can instantly overwhelm the minds of other allies.
The Sword Master said without showing any weakness:
"Then we'll fight to the death!"
"If I can't become the top sword cultivator, what's the meaning of my life?"
"All the geniuses of this generation of Sword God Sect have been killed by Yue. There is no turning back."
Sword Master Yue Zangfeng's swordsmanship is extremely heroic, and he is not afraid of dying together with the enemy.
So he is not the best disciple of the Sword God Sect, but he is the most daring person in the Sword God Sect.
The Sword Master said to the blue torch:
"Abyss Game, can we hold various game competitions and exchange chips?"
The blue torch smiled and said:
"of course can!"
"Any gambling equipment can be used if you need it."
As soon as Huo Torch finished speaking, dice, mahjong, cards, and everything else appeared in the square.
well.
They all had no doubt that the chips in Her Royal Highness's bag were fake. Only 30 of them were real, and the remaining 90 were fake.
Chu Wujiang suppressed the smile in his heart, stood up and said repeatedly:
"Your Highness is a worthless person, how can you be on the same level as a mortal like this?"
"I am the gambling king of the Black Mountain Casino. No matter what game they want to play, I can take it on behalf of Your Highness."
Only then did everyone realize how dangerous the combination of Di Ziling and Chu Wujiang was.
One has the most chips, the other has the best gambling skills.
If you want to surrender, do it as soon as possible.
It was obvious that the two of them had no bargaining chips, but they still forced everyone into a desperate situation.
At this time, Master Mingzhen spoke:
"We can't choose to gamble, otherwise we will definitely lose."
"Thief King, Beggar King, Bandit King, you are all evil people, do you have any way to deal with the Gambler King?"
The three of them looked at each other.
Although the gambling king's lineage did not win in the Left-wing Alliance, everyone knew that he was proficient in gambling and could gain a great advantage in the Abyss Game.
Now in this casino competition, they propose various ways of playing, all of which seem like they are seeking death.
At this time, the dung tyrant [Feitian] suggested:
"Why don't we choose some games that don't value gambling skills at all, and compete with Your Highness the Princess."
The thief king pondered and said:
"What do you mean by this?"
Feitian pointed at the gambling tools generated by the blue torch, pointed at the Go board and said:
"For example, Go is a good choice."
"Does anyone among us know how to play Go?"
That makes sense.
Go is a game for the nobility and is rarely played by people from the Left-Way Alliance. Although it is used by the general public to make colored chess pieces and for gambling, it is not popular because the threshold is too high.
The gambling king is proficient in all kinds of gambling techniques, but he may not be good at Go.
At this time, Master Mingzhen raised her hand and said:
"I know a little bit about Go."
"But I won't use my own chips."
Master Mingzhen is not a fool either. She and Sword Master are using each other. As long as they can defeat the gambling king and avenge their nephew, they will be considered successful.
But there was no way she could spend her own chips.
The Sword Master immediately used a secret technique to transmit the message:
[Master, how good is your Go level? ]
Master Mingzhen pondered and said:
[Not too high, top ten in Nanzhou. ]
[If the gambling king can participate in the chess circle, there is no way I have not heard of it. ]
The Sword Master was satisfied now:
"Don't worry, Master. I will sell the chips for you."
"You will take on the gambling king."
Of course, for the sake of being conservative, Jian Jun added:
"In the first round, only one chip is betted. Both parties understand the rules."
"What do you think, Your Highness?"
Jian Jun knows a little about Go, but he doesn't dare to say that he can participate in the competition, so he can only place his hopes on Master Mingzhen.
Di Ziling sneered and said:
"One chip, who are you looking down on?"
"You must place ten chips at stake, and this princess must fight in person."
Go is a game for nobility.
Obviously, when everyone saw this, they immediately misunderstood that Di Ziling’s Go level was very high.
The thief king immediately retorted:
"Your Highness, if you take advantage of everything, then this competition will not be able to continue."
"We can definitely hold on until the moment when you are sure to lose."
The Abyss Game has set a voting time of twelve hours.
They can wait until the moment they are sure to win before voting.
Even if Di Ziling has 150 chips, she cannot guarantee victory.
By then, the alliance between the left and right sides will be able to kill the two men.
Di Ziling looked hesitant.
She secretly asked Chu Wujiang:
[Champion Marquis, what should we do if they really want to waste time? ]
【We only have 50 chips. 】
Chu Wujiang said softly:
[Don't worry, Princess. I told you there are a hundred ways to win.]
[As soon as the clock announced the time, I released my spirit and attached myself to the clock, quietly changing the time displayed.]
[As long as it accumulates to a certain extent, they will mistakenly believe that there is still a lot of time. ]
[If they wait for time, they will definitely lose. ]
[Suppose they find out that there is still one hour left, but in fact there is only a quarter of an hour left, we can still decide the outcome at the last second.]
what……
Di Ziling finally understood how terrifying Chu Wujiang was.
He possesses the [Seven Apertures Heart] and a lot of luck.
Even though these fortunes cannot be used to kill people, they are still very useful.
If it comes to a battle of wits, you guys are no match for it.
At this time, Di Ziling showed hesitation and said to Chu Wujiang:
"Gambling King, can you play Go?"
Chu Wujiang seemed to be wearing a mask of pain, and said with some embarrassment:
"I am sure I can play Go, but Master Mingzhen is a famous Go master in Nanzhou."
"I am not completely sure, but I have a chance to defeat my opponent."
Di Ziling changed her words and said:
"Then why not change it into a bargaining chip and try it first."
At this time, the thief king retorted:
"Your Highness, a game of Go sometimes takes two or three hours."
"This chip will take forever."
Di Ziling sneered:
"Why, I have already given in, and you still want to push for more?"
The Sword Master quickly tried to smooth things over:
"Then why don't we both take a step back and just give up five chips?"
The thief king and others nodded and said:
"That's how it should be."
At this time, the Sword Master said:
"Since we are all going to join forces to fight against Her Highness, we have to make this chip together."
"Yue will give three, and you will give the remaining two."
The Sword Master is a cunning man.
Even if he lost, he wanted to weaken everyone equally to prevent them from defecting to Di Ziling's side.
The three thieves hesitated for a moment, and finally agreed with Sword Master's approach. After all, he was willing to take on the most chips.
The trio negotiated for a moment and decided that the beggar and the bandit leader would pay.
Chu Wujiang sat down to play Go, while Master Mingzhen heard the Sword Master's secret voice transmission:
[Master, if the gambling king's chess skills are not good. ]
【You must lose to him. 】
Master Mingzhen nodded and said:
【I understand, the fishing hook has been taken.】
Chu Wujiang picked up the Go board and made a move without any hesitation.
Start, Tianyuan.
Master Mingzhen was slightly stunned.
It seems that he is indeed not very good at chess.
