A Loss Is Just a Loss; We'll Win It Back!

Mao Chunqiu collapsed weakly to the ground.

Utter despair.

My whole heart is bleeding.

He was abandoned by everyone.

This moment.

He had nothing left.

At this time.

He finally realized it too late.

Qin Yan had been acting with the Red-Haired God all along.

This was also to make him resentful.

Furthermore, Xue You had previously lost to one of Qin Yan's defeated opponents, which allowed him to lower his guard.

They felt they had a sure thing.

All of this.

It was all premeditated.

He was blinded by his own narrow perspective.

In the end, they suffered a complete defeat.

Zhao Xiuxiu came to Mao Chunqiu's side, wanting to help him up.

Chen Ning also came over.

At this time.

This peak was utterly desolate.

Only the three of them remained.

Chen Ning looked in the direction Qin Yan and the others had left.

Seemingly lost in thought.

If there was only something strange about it before...

Based on the departure of Qin Yan and the others, Chen Ning was fairly certain of what had happened.

Certainly.

It's impossible for Qin Yan and the others to get to the peak of the Red-Haired God right now.

I still have to put on an act.

They put on such a grand show.

Of course, we'll see this through to the end.

Qin Yan and the others randomly chose a mountain peak.

Stay and watch the rest of the betting battle.

Qin Yan and the others left Mao Chunqiu.

The gods of the Eastern Territory witnessed the entire duel.

They all knew it in their hearts.

The Red-Haired God's method was truly insidious.

However, the reason is...

It's all because of Qin Yan, that undercover traitor.

If it weren't for Qin Yan's inside help...

The Red-Haired God's plan won't be so easy to execute.

Especially Mao Chunqiu, who has always been timid and seeks stability.

If it weren't for trusting his disciple...

It wouldn't have come to this.

At this moment.

Mao Chunqiu suddenly raised his head and looked at Chen Ning and Zhao Xiuxiu. Then, he stood up with difficulty, and Zhao Xiuxiu hurriedly went to help him.

"Come with me."

Mao Chunqiu finished speaking.

He then leaped into the air.

After traversing three smaller battlefields, they arrived at the towering main peak where the Qilin True God resided.

Chen Ning and Zhao Xiuxiu followed.

All I saw was...

Mao Chunqiu quickly approached the Qilin True God, then bowed and said, "These two children once helped me repair Great Peace Prefecture, but they were chased by some villains. I am unable to protect them, so I beg you, my virtuous brother, to take care of them."

Upon hearing this...

The Qilin True God looked at Chen Ning and Zhao Xiuxiu, and then nodded slightly.

Mao Chunqiu lost Great Peace Prefecture.

He was abandoned by everyone.

I no longer have the ability to protect others.

Therefore, these two young men were sent to Qilin Prefecture.

I hope he can protect me.

At this time.

Mao Chunqiu looked at Chen Ning and Zhao Xiuxiu and forced a smile, "I already said I didn't ask you to help me repair Great Peace Prefecture for nothing. You can stay in Qilin Prefecture for now. The Qilin True God will protect you. The people who chased you that day weren't experts from the Eastern Territory, but they should have been disciples of some God Realm. Don't worry, experts from other places will also give face to the Qilin True God and won't dare to touch you."

After saying that.

Mao Chunqiu bowed to the Qilin True God once more.

Then.

He turned to leave.

At this moment.

A voice rang out.

"I'm not used to staying in Qilin Prefecture. Let's go back to Great Peace Prefecture."

The one who spoke was Chen Ning.

Upon hearing this...

Everyone present was taken aback.

Mao Chunqiu's steps faltered as he left.

Wen Aotian revealed a strange expression.

Yao Li guessed Chen Ning's purpose and couldn't help but smile.

Chen Ning bowed slightly to the Qilin True God and said, "Your Excellency, we are very grateful for your willingness to protect us, but we will not trouble you with our care. Please forgive us."

A strange light appeared in the eyes of the Qilin True God.

Then he nodded.

He was willing to take care of these two purely out of respect for Mao Chunqiu; both of them were Middle Stage of Saint Venerable, nothing special.

He wasn't really interested.

Such talent and skill level might make someone his disciple, but that's about it.

Why not Wen Aotian and that dazzling new girl he just took in?

But Chen Ning's words...

But that piqued his interest.

He suddenly became curious about the young man in front of him.

Chen Ning approached Mao Chunqiu.

The old man's dejected face was now filled with surprise. He said urgently, "You'd better think this through. The Qilin True God is the only way out I can leave for you."

"Senior."

Chen Ning smiled faintly and said, "I am still willing to work with you to repair Great Peace Prefecture."

Upon hearing this...

Mao Chunqiu felt even more anguish, "Great Peace Prefecture has... has already fallen into the hands of the Red-Haired God..."

"It's alright, we'll win back Great Peace Prefecture if we lose."

Chen Ning spoke calmly.

Yet an invisible aura of dominance permeated the air.

According to the rules.

Of their five challenges, Qin Yan only used his skill once.

There are four more opportunities to challenge the other Disciple of a God.

Zhao Xiuxiu nodded and said, "Yes, the sect leader is right, we'll help you win it back, senior!"

Upon hearing this...

Mao Chunqiu was stunned.

At this time...

Wen Aotian spoke with some disdain, "Win it back? You make it sound so easy. You're just Middle Stage of Saint Venerable, not very powerful, but you've got quite the nerve..."

"Sometimes, even if you know it's a conspiracy, you're powerless to change it, simply because of the difference in strength. The weakest of the Disciple of a God participating in today's duel is at the Late Stage of Saint Venerable. Although Xue You is a bit cunning, his strength is a genuine Half-God Realm. What can you do about it?"

No need for you to worry.

Chen Ning spoke calmly.

Then, he clasped his Qilin True God and said, "I would like to ask the senior to lend me twenty Divine Crystal. I will repay you double the amount after I win them back."

"Twenty Divine Crystal?"

Wen Aotian couldn't help but laugh out loud. Putting aside whether his master would lend it to him, even if he did, did he expect to use those twenty Divine Crystal to win back the entire Great Peace Prefecture?

That's utterly wishful thinking.

The Qilin True God calmly gazed at the young man before him. After a long while, he spoke, "I will lend you fifty Divine Crystal. No need for double; just return them in full."

Thank you, senior.

Chen Ning felt a surge of admiration for the Qilin True God.

As expected of Middle God.

He lent me fifty Divine Crystal without expecting double the amount back; such an act is truly admirable.

If Chen Ning were truly forced to repay double...

The two only have a relationship based on mutual benefit.

But in this way...

If Chen Ning truly has the ability to turn the tide, then he has forged a positive connection.

Even the Qilin True God was not optimistic about it.

But he did it anyway.

He possesses remarkable spirit.

After Chen Ning bowed to the Qilin True God in gratitude, he returned to the original mountain peak with Zhao Xiuxiu and Mao Chunqiu.

Watching Chen Ning's retreating figure.

Appreciation appeared in Yao Li's beautiful eyes.

Chen Ning was the fortune she most wanted to seize.

During the time of Vast Land, she personally witnessed many miracles created by Chen Ning.

Therefore.

She had no doubt about Chen Ning's abilities.

Instead, they are even more eager to plunder the other party's fortune.

Yao Li's admiring gaze was once again caught by Wen Aotian.

The latter's face darkened.

She felt even more resentful towards Chen Ning.

Mao Chunqiu lost Great Peace Prefecture, and his every move attracted attention.

So.

Everyone noticed that Mao Chunqiu had taken two young men to the main peak where the Qilin True God resided.

Then.

They came back again.

But the specific content of the conversation.

Others, however, had no way of knowing.

"Hahahaha... This useless god must have gone to beg the Qilin True God to return to Great Peace Prefecture, right? He came back looking pathetic, how laughable."

"Although the Red-Haired God tricked him, it was within the rules, so he can only blame himself."

When Qin Yan left.

Most people already know this.

Although most people abhor Qin Yan's traitorous behavior.

But some people still made sarcastic remarks.

The Red-Haired God was somewhat cunning.

But gambling is inherently bloody and brutal.

That useless god lacked the ability to discern and couldn't see through it, so he can't blame anyone else.

And.

The reason for this is...

It's also because that useless god is incompetent and can't retain people!

The betting continues.

But at this moment...

Suddenly, two figures leaped out from the peak where Great Peace Prefecture was located, each landing in a small battlefield world.

It was Chen Ning and Zhao Xiuxiu.
