The Despicable, Shameless Vast Heaven Sect!
The conflict between the Demonic Sect has temporarily come to an end.
But everyone understood that, given Devil Master Qiu Tian's personality, he would never let this go after suffering such a great loss.
However, now is not the best time for Qiu Tian to make a move. Once the opportunity arises, he will definitely launch a major counterattack!
After all, this was a huge loss for Devil Master Qiu Tian...
But if you're talking about those who suffered huge losses... it wasn't just the Demonic Sect... there was also... the Ning Clan...
Although none of the parties directly participated in this battle against the Demonic Sect, they still made moves behind the scenes, such as the previous betting scheme.
Each company has invested a significant amount of resources in the betting...
But if you were to name the most... besides the Devil Master Qiu Tian, it would be the Ning Clan.
The Grand Elder of the Ning Clan, Ning Buqu, is quite a ruthless person... As everyone knows, Ning Buqu hasn't been eating shrimp lately...
Rumor has it that Elder Ning Buqu stopped eating shrimp because Ning Buqu made a vow upon returning to the Ning Clan: if he couldn't bring the Ning Clan back to its former glory, he would never eat shrimp again!
In this betting game, all parties in the Spirit Beast Continent are betting on Shen Yue. After all, although Shen Yue belongs to the Demonic Sect, she belongs to the Demonic Sect of the Spirit Beast Continent. In a sense, this battle between the Demonic Sects is also a clash between the Blazing Sun Continent and the Spirit Beast Continent.
Even among the Demonic Sect, no one wants to lose!
However, the Ning Clan chose to take a different approach. Elder Ning Buqu went to the Blazing Sun Continent and, after spending considerable resources to bribe many people, still obtained a lot of information that was unknown to the Spirit Beast Continent.
First and foremost, there's the sheer terror of Tantai Jing...
Ning Buqu learned about all the things Tantai Jing had done from various perspectives... Although Tantai Jing suffered a lot, Tantai Jing was truly strong.
Although Shen Yue is also very strong, according to Ning Buqu's analysis, Shen Yue could never be a match for Tantai Jing.
Therefore, upon returning to the Ning Clan, Elder Ning Buqu immediately stated that we must place our bets on Tantai Jing's side.
Many members of the Ning Clan disagreed with Elder Ning Buqu's statement.
After all, this conflict between the Demonic Sect sects represents two sides. If we support Tantai Jing now... wouldn't we be isolated by the entire Spirit Beast Continent?
It has to be said that Elder Ning Buqu has some tricks up his sleeve... On the surface, the Ning Clan is betting on Shen Yue just like the other clans... and the resources they're investing are about the same, everyone is just focusing on supporting one person.
But behind the scenes, the Ning Clan, through various channels, placed a heavy bet on Tantai Jing in the name of the Blazing Sun Continent!
When news of Tantai Jing's sneak attack and capture of Shen Yue spread, although on the surface the Ning Clan, like the other clans, angrily denounced Tantai Jing as despicable and shameless!
But behind their backs Ning Clan was laughing their heads off!
Ever since our Elder Ning Buqu stopped eating shrimp, his mind has become terrifying!
This has driven our Elder Ning Buqu mad!
The resources we lost on the surface are nothing... we made a killing here!
But just as Elder Ning Buqu was saying he'd made a killing... the betting odds disappeared...
The Ning Clan was completely dumbfounded... What the hell is going on? We won... We won, so why are the betting odds gone...?
Can someone please explain this?
It's worth mentioning that the Ning Clan was the most vocal in their insults a few days ago... Outsiders were quite puzzled when they saw the Ning Clan hurling such profanities...
The Ning Clan only used a few resources, was it really worth it?
Your Ning Clan is a large and powerful family, you know... You've only lost a few resources, you don't need to come out crying and cursing...
What outsiders don't know is that although the Ning Clan to have lost some resources, they were actually completely fooled!
But that wasn't the only bad thing... The Ning Clan was a powerful and wealthy clan in the Spirit Beast Continent, with countless businesses...
But lately, I don't know what's going on... all sorts of businesses Ning Clan are running into problems, and losses are piling up one after another... If you look at the Ning Clan's accounts, there are practically no profitable businesses left...
Many other industries are also experiencing problems inexplicably, and the key issue is that you can't find the root cause of the problem...
The Clan Head Ning Clan held its first annual meeting to analyze industrial issues...
Despite the analysis by many prominent members of the Ning Clan, they ultimately failed to reach a conclusion.
It has to be said that the Clan Head Ning has a way of dealing with things. Clan Head Ning said that the problem might not be with the industry, but with the Ning Clan's fortune.
Speaking of luck, didn't we just obtain the Xuanwu Spirit Beast Talisman?
Since obtaining the Xuanwu Spirit Beast Talisman, the Clan Head Ning hadn't dared to make any rash moves, after all, the way it came about was quite suspicious... The Clan Head Ning was also worried that something strange might happen.
But the Ning Clan has been acting so strangely lately... why should we care about anything even stranger?
Therefore, the Clan Head Ning waved his hand and declared, "We must rely on the Xuanwu Luck fate and change the destiny of our Ning Clan!"
Therefore, the Ning Clan held a grand Xuanwu Spirit Beast Talisman sacrificial ceremony!
The ceremony proceeded very smoothly... the only minor mishap occurred midway through the ritual... the altar collapsed... and all the elders of the Ning Clan were buried alive by it...
Fortunately, all the powerful figures were highly skilled, and although they were buried in dust and dirt, they all managed to climb out safely.
The moment everyone climbed out, the Clan Head Ning, without even washing his face, immediately convened the second Ning Clan Ning Clan analysis conference.
The meeting was held in the main hall of the Ning Clan. Those who knew the situation thought it was Ning Clan analysis conference... but those who didn't might have mistaken it for a meeting of the Vast Heaven Sect's Civil Engineering Department disciples who had just returned from a construction site...
During the analysis meeting, Elder Ning Buqu revealed a piece of news he had heard from the Blazing Sun Continent.
"Clan Master... Elders, some people on the Blazing Sun Continent are saying that we were actually tricked by the Cloud Firmament Sect... The Xuanwu Spirit Beast Talisman infused by the Cloud Firmament Sect wasn't infused with Xuanwu Luck at all, but rather with Xuanwu's bad luck... And the reason it's Xuanwu's bad luck is because Chu Xinghe won all of Xuanwu's fortune back then, so Xuanwu is left with only bad luck..."
Upon hearing Elder Ning Buqu's statement, someone from the Ning Clan immediately retorted, "Elder... do you want to hear what you're saying...?"
Did Chu Xinghe win all of Xuanwu's fortune?
That's not even human language!
The Xuanwu is hailed as the embodiment of destiny... How terrifying is the Xuanwu's destiny? Others may not know, but does our Spirit Beast Continent know?
Although only a remnant soul remains of Xuanwu now, it is still Xuanwu!
Previously, when it was said that the remnants of the Four Saints were on Spirit Beast Island, all Four Great Clans of the Spirit Beast Continent sent people to Spirit Beast Island. After all, the four major clans were the descendants of the people chosen by the Four Sacred Beasts back then. Now that the Four Saints have reappeared, the Four Great Clans also want to welcome back the Four Sacred Beasts.
Unfortunately, apart from the White Tiger, the other Four Sacred Beasts are unlikely to leave easily, so there was no follow-up after the Four Great Clans went to pay their respects.
But even a remnant soul is Four Sacred Beasts!
What merit or ability did Chu Xinghe possess to win all the fortune of Xuanwu, the embodiment of destiny?
Elder Ning Buqu, the rumor you're describing is like us having a meeting right now, and suddenly a naked guy appears and tells us he's a Main God! Then, while we're still completely bewildered, he displays the power of Main God and leaves!
This is so outrageous, it's not even up to us whether we believe it or not... It's absolutely impossible!
The Clan Head Ning nodded in agreement, indicating that it was likely just a rumor. Even if Chu Xinghe could defeat Xuanwu, it was only because Xuanwu wanted him to win, not because he was capable of defeating Xuanwu.
It's just that outsiders like to exaggerate the facts... and in the end, it inexplicably became that Chu Xinghe won Xuanwu Luck.
The so-called Xuanwu bad luck, to put it bluntly, is not bad luck, but rather luck. It's just that the Cloud Firmament Sect doesn't know how to control the Xuanwu Luck.
After all, how long has the Spirit Beast Island on the Blazing Sun Continent been open? How long have they been researching spirit beasts? They haven't even entered the Beast God Spirit Temple yet!
It's normal for luck to bring bad luck to people who don't understand how to use it.
Everyone says that the Cloud Firmament Sect gave us the Xuanwu Spirit Beast Talisman to get rid of bad luck, but in the eyes of the Clan Head Ning, it's the opposite... The Cloud Firmament Sect is immoral, and they are not worthy of the Xuanwu Spirit Beast Talisman's fortune. Fortune will choose its own master!
It was destiny that found our Ning Clan on its own initiative, not that the Cloud Firmament Sect bestowed it upon us!
However, some have expressed doubts about the claim that the Clan Head Ning. After all, ever since the Xuanwu Spirit Beast Talisman came to the Ning Clan... it seems that our Ning Clan has truly been plagued by bad luck... What's the explanation for this?
The Clan Head Ning frowned at this question, but suddenly, a possibility occurred to him!
"Do you think... the difficulties we've been facing recently might not be due to the Xuanwu Spirit Beast Talisman, but rather that the Vast Heaven Sect has used underhanded tactics against us?"
Upon hearing these words from the Clan Head Ning, all the Ning Clan leaders were taken aback!
The clan leader is perfectly fine!
Everyone knows about the past conflict between our Ning Clan and the Vast Heaven Sect. We, the Ning Clan, thought that the Vast Heaven Sect had truly let the matter rest... but in reality, the Vast Heaven Sect is not what everyone thought at all...
The Vast Heaven Sect used all sorts of despicable means to manipulate things behind the scenes... causing our various industries to inexplicably suffer losses!
On one side is the naked Main God... no... Chu Xinghe won Xuanwu Luck, resulting in Xuanwu giving him bad luck... on the other side is the Vast Heaven Sect's behind-the-scenes manipulation... tell me, which one is more believable!
Without a doubt, the entire Ning Clan chose to believe the latter.
After all, the incident with the naked Main God... no... Chu Xinghe was just too outrageous...
On the contrary, if we attribute all of this to the Vast Heaven Sect's behind-the-scenes manipulations... then everything seems to make sense.
After all, given the power of the Vast Heaven Sect, if he were to pull these things behind the scenes... then wouldn't everything seem perfectly reasonable now?
Instantly, many of the Ning Clan's leaders erupted in furious curses!
"Gu Mingchao appears to be a righteous and principled person, but behind the scenes he uses such dirty tricks against our Ning Clan!"
"What a Vast Heaven Sect... Who knows what despicable means they used to become the number one sect in the world!"
"The Vast Heaven Sect is secretly targeting our Ning Clan; we absolutely cannot sit idly by and wait to be destroyed! We must retaliate!"
Amidst the shouts of many Ning Clan leaders, the Clan Head Ning's expression grew increasingly resolute!
That's right... My Ning Clan is not to be trifled with! Your Vast Heaven Sect is far stronger than us... but my Ning Clan will never allow your Vast Heaven Sect to bully us so easily!
Counterattack! We absolutely must counterattack this time!
