The Curtain Rises [Heaven's Chosen Assembly Arc Finale]

After the funeral of Yan Mo, Xiao Ran bid farewell to everyone and then returned to the city.

Above the scenic outer city, Xiao Ran Sword Flight, preparing to return to the White Night Pavilion.

One thing that puzzled him was...

The Black Ring Group has been very quiet these past few days. People can be seen logging on and off one after another, but no one speaks.

He guessed that Gentleman was probably too embarrassed to talk about it.

But the truth will out eventually, Xiao Ran waited quietly for him to make a fool of himself.

I glanced at my Filial Piety Points. Recently, because I've been in the Dark Forest for too long, they haven't increased much. They're only a little over 500, not even enough to buy Limit Combo.

He couldn't wait to return to his clan.

Arrived at the middle level of North City Peacock Street.

The number of tourists in Chaos City was significantly higher than ten days ago. Besides celebrating the Dao Alliance's defeat, many tourists came specifically to learn how to Fight the Wraith.

Perhaps to provide an outlet for the suppressed emotions of the people in the Dharma Ending Era, the Fight the Wraith Game became much more popular than Xiao Ran had imagined.

Not only were the tables for the Fight the Wraith" game in major casinos packed, but even on the high platform of the island in the middle of the lake, "Fight the Wraith " arena competitions were held every day, creating a great deal of excitement, attracting a large number of tourists, and generating immeasurable economic benefits.

Xiao Ran suddenly regretted that he had set the price for the exclusive agency too low.

Back at the White Night Pavilion.

Master and his wife, Chen Ziyan, were drinking tea and playing chess at the stone table in front of the Sword Ship.

It's clear that Master Fight the Wraith lately and wants to clear his head.

What was supposed to be Go turned into a game of Connect Four for her.

Master's wife Chen Ziyan, didn't have much business during the day, so she came over to keep her Master, drinking tea, playing chess, and basking in the sun.

She wore a light red dress, her face radiant, and a smile always played on her lips.

Xiao Ran could understand; with Fight the Wraith being so popular right now, it would be hard for her not to make a fortune.

Master, however, looked worried and showed no joy at his triumphant return.

Her imposing chest rested on the stone table, appearing vast and boundless. Her exquisitely beautiful face was framed in a bun shape, and her slender, clean hands listlessly fiddled with the chess pieces.

Looking at her tired and empty eyes, she had no idea where she was.

Xiao Ran sensed something was wrong and tentatively asked, "Master, you didn't... gamble all your money away, did you?"

"What nonsense are you spouting!"

Lingzhou Yue slammed her hand on the chessboard, disrupting the already doomed game and causing her heart to surge with intoxicating waves.

Xiao Ran understood; he couldn't have lost any more decisively.

Even with a stern face and a gloomy, listless expression, Master was still more handsome than his radiant wife.

"Can Fight the Wraith be considered a loss? This is sacrificing the individual for the future of humanity."

In the past, when Lingzhou Yue went to gambling dens, she would disguise herself and pretend to be a foolish and rich weak woman, and she would be cheated by others many times, and then catch the other party to pay her money.

At this point, the casino stepped in to smooth things over, and she became powerless and threw a tantrum. The casino wasn't going to sit idly by, and they immediately sent people to use force. She took advantage of the situation to demolish the gambling den and make a fortune. She even used a light and shadow stone to record the whole process, leaving the local city lord speechless and forced to accept defeat.

Using this entrapment technique, she traveled to various gambling dens across the True Spirit Continent, succeeding time and again, making a steady profit and maintaining her high annual budget for alcohol.

In Chaos City, she was the founder of Fight the Wraith and the main villain, participating in teaching activities at various gambling dens.

As a result, there are always people who want to challenge her with real money.

Lingzhou Yue, basking in the glory of being the founder and having spent over a month researching Fight the Wraith, was confident in her technical skills and repeatedly accepted challenges. Then...

And that was the end of it.

During the ten days Xiao Ran was away, she only lasted five days before losing all her money.

He lost over 500,000 Spirit Stone, Demon Crystal, and various other items.

So for the remaining five days, she angrily went back to the White Night Pavilion to sleep, refusing to see anyone and not getting out of bed until someone died.

From his Master's listless expression and his master's wife's slightly suggestive look, Xiao Ran understood everything.

You're such a spendthrift Master! But for Xiao Ran, his Master's extravagance is a good thing.

If Master wins money and becomes a rich woman who never lacks money, how can he take money to fleece Master? When Lingzhou Yue saw that the money tree was back, her fighting spirit was immediately rekindled, and she wanted to make a comeback.

"You, Xiao Ran, take your master to win money!"

Xiao Ran smiled.

Helping your Master win money is less profitable than simply giving him money directly.

If you win money and become a rich woman, would you still treat your apprentice like a treasure?

"Master, you've been working too hard lately. Let's go back to the sect and rest. The Dao Alliance will be giving us a mission soon."

"What mission?"

"A mission to make money."

Upon hearing this, Lingzhou Yue temporarily suppressed her fighting spirit.

Xiao Ran goes out, and even if he doesn't get rich, he can easily pick up money; if he were to get rich, wouldn't he be soaring to the heavens like a dragon?

Chen Ziyan made Xiao Ran a cup of avocado milk tea and gestured for him to sit down and enjoy it.

"I heard you have Ancient Divine Bird and the giant armor of the Yan Mo. If you want to sell them, you can contact me. The rarer the item, the higher the price it can fetch in Baiye."

Lingzhou Yue had almost forgotten about these two treasures. Her spirits suddenly lifted, and her shimmering eyes stared intently at Xiao Ran, giving him a frantic hint.

Xiao Ran remained unmoved, only saying:

"I need to go back and work on these two things. Don't worry, Master's wife, I'll definitely come to you if I want to sell them someday."

Chen Ziyan smiled and took a sip of tea, then looked at Lingzhou Yue.

"Your disciple is a real treasure. The Dao Alliance speaks highly of him. No matter how the situation changes in the future, you can live a very carefree life."

Lingzhou Yue was somewhat disappointed and pouted, saying, "How precious is it? You have to pay 100 million Spirit Stone for me to sell it to you."

Chen Ziyan laughed and said, "I'm afraid that if I buy it and lie down next to him in the middle of the night, he'll run back to Zongzhi Mountain."

Xiao Ran smiled but didn't say anything.

Lingzhou Yue nodded in satisfaction and got up to see the guest off.

"I'm leaving. When you collect your fees from the gambling den, remember to give me a share. Next time I have a chance to make money, I'll still only favor you."

Chen Ziyan stood up, bowed slightly, and smiled sweetly, "Sister Yue, you're too kind. You won't be shortchanged on your share of the profits. Remember to come visit often."

Inside the inner city, in an underground palace.

The palace was tall and empty, with five giant pillars supporting the dark dome, echoing with eerie, distant sounds that tore at the souls of everything nearby.

In the pool filled with lava and venom, a tall, muscular man pulled an ice sword from his chest and walked out naked.

His eyes were empty and blue, his Qi Sea was vast and calm, without the slightest fluctuation of Spiritual Power, but the power emanating from his body was as if he could achieve physical sainthood and shatter the heavens.

The naked man was none other than one of the Nine Radiances, Mahayana cultivator, and the city lord of Chaos City—

Luo Cheng.

The surrounding sonic booms abruptly ceased, and the poisonous mist slowly dissipated.

A tall, slender woman with delicate features, dressed in flamboyant attire, slowly entered the palace, only bowing and stopping when she was about ten feet in front of the man.

She was Xuan Yuan Guang's own aunt, Xuan Yuan Yan.

"Welcome back, Lord City Lord, as you emerge from seclusion."

"Is it you again?"

The man glanced at the woman's figure indifferently, noting that she had neglected her cultivation.

"This time you can Dual Cultivation after you emerge from seclusion, if you can handle it."

The woman laughed sweetly, but a hint of sorrow flashed in her eyes.

"My body can bear it, but my heart is breaking... I've caused a great disaster."

"Um?"

The woman then recounted the events of the past few days in detail, telling the city lord in detail.

The man listened as he put on his golden robe.

The golden robe was covered with the fur of a mythical beast, but the style and patterns were outdated and no longer suited the aesthetics of young people in the Dharma Ending Era. It would have been better to be naked.

The man seemed indifferent to these trivial matters, yet his insight was extremely sharp.

"The Dao Alliance won't covet your Xuan Yuan Family's dragon bones or Dragon Riding Art. The Four Great Families and the Apostle may all suffer next."

Only after hearing the city lord's words did the woman breathe a slight sigh of relief.

"Lingzhou Yue is too strong and greedy. Why doesn't the City Lord spend a lot of money to keep her in Chaos City and go with the Xuan Yuan Family to capture the dragon?"

"She hasn't even shown a tenth of her strength, so how do you know she's strong? This woman is too troublesome. Chaos City and the Dao Alliance have too close ties. If we let her live, she'll kill an official today and a playboy tomorrow, and soon we'll be directly at odds with the Dao Alliance."

"Does the city lord have no thoughts about the giant dragon that appeared in the west of the city?"

" In the Dharma Ending Era, it is difficult for the true ancient dragon race to survive. This dragon is thousands of miles long. If it is a true dragon, it will destroy both humans and the Wraith. I once saw a mutated black two-winged dragon fighting with a group of great Netherworld beings. It was less than a hundred feet long. I tried to ambush and capture it, but not only did I fail, I was also injured."

The woman was slightly startled.

"Is there anything in this world that could possibly injure the City Lord?"

"You must understand that Nine Radiances is nothing but a defeated man clinging to life... If the Dao Alliance takes action against the Apostle, you might see the demons and monsters of this world."

The man's gaze was distant, and a strange smile appeared on his magnificent and handsome features.

"The curtain has been raised; let's just watch the show quietly."
