A Gamble

"Hmph, I won't let this matter rest!"

Gu Yifan snorted coldly and stopped talking.

At this moment, Grand Elder Meng Qian walked up to Lu Ren and said with a smile, "Lu Ren, congratulations on obtaining the inheritance of Ancient Emperor Tuoshe. What grade is your bloodline now?"

"I'm still a Scrap Bloodline!"

Lu Ren replied truthfully.

"You're still a Scrap Bloodline?"

Meng Qian looked at Lu Ren with disbelief and said, "How is that possible? You've obtained the inheritance of Ancient Emperor Tuoshe, how can you still be a Scrap Bloodline?"

Lu Ren deliberately said, "Ancient Emperor Tuoshe didn't give me any good fortune. I'm still a Scrap Bloodline!"

"Is that true?"

Meng Qian asked again, not believing him.

Lu Ren nodded.

"Scrap Bloodline or not, you should have obtained the supreme treasures from Ancient Emperor Tuoshe, right?"

Meng Qian asked.

Ancient Emperor Tuoshe was a Martial Emperor realm expert. He definitely had many supreme treasures. If they could obtain even one or two, their Qingyun Sect would be able to rise rapidly.

"Ancient Emperor Tuoshe didn't give me anything!"

Lu Ren shook his head.

For a moment, Meng Qian seemed to have fallen from heaven into hell, looking dejected.

"I don't believe Ancient Emperor Tuoshe gave him nothing!"

A hint of surprise flashed in Gu Yifan's eyes.

"Gu Yifan, what do you mean by that? I said I didn't get anything, and I didn't!"

Lu Ren said coldly.

"A man's wealth is his own ruin. If you obtained a supreme treasure, would you tell others you got it? You'd definitely keep it for yourself!"

Gu Yifan said in a low voice, "Unless you take out everything in your Storage Ring for us to inspect!"

"Gu Yifan, don't push it too far!"

Yun Qingyao's expression turned cold, and she said indifferently.

A Storage Ring was a private matter for anyone. How could it be casually inspected by others?

Of course, she also didn't believe that Lu Ren had received nothing, unless Lu Ren hadn't received the inheritance of Ancient Emperor Tuoshe.

But if she got a treasure, she definitely wouldn't tell anyone.

Hearing Yun Qingyao's words, Gu Yifan's eyes were filled with killing intent. How could this Scrap Bloodline Lu Ren be so valued by Yun Qingyao?

Xie Kuang and several elders from other sects all looked suspicious.

If Lu Ren truly obtained a supreme treasure and then presented it to the Qingyun Sect, it would be a huge blow to their major sects.

"Elder Yun, in a short while, the entire Jiangyun Kingdom will probably know that Lu Ren obtained the inheritance of Ancient Emperor Tuoshe. If he truly possesses great treasures, it won't be a good thing for him!"

Xie Kuang's eyes flickered, and he smiled slightly.

"Even if my disciple truly obtained great treasures, they are his. Whoever dares to snatch them will be acting against me, Yun Qingyao!"

Yun Qingyao's expression remained cold.

As everyone was arguing, Lu Ren suddenly spoke, "I can let you inspect my Storage Ring, but if there are no supreme treasures in my Storage Ring, Gu Yifan must kowtow to me three times!"

He didn't have any supreme treasures on him in the first place. The supreme treasures of Ancient Emperor Tuoshe were all in the Tuoshe Secret Treasure Vault.

He might as well use this opportunity to prove to everyone that he hadn't taken any supreme treasures, otherwise, he might invite a disaster of death.

"What? Three kowtows?"

Gu Yifan stared at Lu Ren furiously.

As a core disciple of the Imperial Dao Sect, one of the Three Prodigies of Jiangyun Kingdom, and the most favored successor of the Ghost Sword King, he would absolutely never kowtow to a Scrap Bloodline.

If he actually kowtowed, he would likely be ridiculed by the other two prodigies.

"Since you suspect I have supreme treasures, yet you don't dare to gamble with me, why should I let you inspect it?"

Lu Ren stared at Gu Yifan and sneered.

Making a genius like Gu Yifan kowtow to him would definitely be more unbearable than killing him.

"Fine, we'll gamble with you!"

Before Gu Yifan could speak, Xie Kuang beside him directly agreed.

"Elder Xie, what did you say?"

Gu Yifan was shocked. He didn't expect Xie Kuang to agree so quickly. What if Lu Ren really didn't get the supreme treasures of Ancient Emperor Tuoshe?

It wasn't him who had to kneel and kowtow.

"Gu Yifan, Ancient Emperor Tuoshe was a Martial Emperor realm expert. How could he not have treasures when he was alive? Even if he didn't, he must have had some powerful cultivation techniques and secret manuals!"

Xie Kuang said with great certainty.

How could a Martial Emperor expert not have treasures on him?

Even a single Profound Tier cultivation technique would be considered a treasure.

Gu Yifan gritted his teeth and nodded, "Alright, I agree!"

Lu Ren smiled, took out the storage bag from his body, and handed it to Xie Kuang.

Xie Kuang took the storage bag, circulated his true qi into it, and began to investigate.

Copper Coins, one million.

Human Tier Low-grade Martial Skills, over seventy volumes. Human Tier Mid-grade and High-grade Martial Skills, over twenty volumes. Yellow Tier Low-grade Martial Skill, three volumes. One spirit herb.

As for other items, there was only a long sword weapon.

Besides these, there was absolutely nothing valuable.

"How is this possible? Impossible!"

Xie Kuang shook his head frantically, disbelief etched on his face.

The wealth on Lu Ren's body was clearly obtained from killing those Aperture Opening Realm martial artists. Apart from that, there was no other wealth.

"What's impossible? There's nothing?"

Gu Yifan snatched the storage bag from Xie Kuang's hand and began to search frantically.

However, the results he obtained were the same as Xie Kuang's. There were only some ordinary resources. As for the so-called supreme treasures, he didn't see a single one.

"Impossible!"

Gu Yifan roared, searched again, and meticulously checked every corner of the space. Yet, he still couldn't find any valuable treasures, not even a decent secret manual.

Suddenly!

He saw a familiar weapon. It was actually the Ghost Slaying Sword of his sixth junior brother, Zhang Quan.

This Ghost Slaying Sword was a weapon that his junior brother had spent a fortune to commission a master artifact refiner to create. It was a High-grade Spirit Artifact.

But why was this weapon on Lu Ren?

Thinking of this, he pulled with his true qi, took out the Ghost Slaying Sword, and questioned Lu Ren, "Lu Ren, why is my sixth junior brother's Ghost Slaying Sword on you? If you don't give me an explanation, you won't be leaving today!"

"Oh, this sword is called the Ghost Slaying Sword? Just as I came out of the light gate, a man in black ambushed me, wanting to steal my opportunity. As a result, I killed him casually. Is he also a Ghost Sword Successor?"

Lu Ren asked with a look of surprise.

"What did you say? My junior brother ambushed you, and you killed him?"

Gu Yifan looked incredulous.

He was very clear about Zhang Quan's strength. Zhang Quan had opened ten Spiritual Apertures and was a genius with a Fifth-grade Bloodline. He was very skilled in assassination and often helped his master complete assassination missions.

Yet Lu Ren claimed that he had instantly killed Zhang Quan.

Zhang Quan had three more Spiritual Apertures than Lu Ren. How could he have been killed by Lu Ren?

This Lu Ren must have obtained the inheritance of Ancient Emperor Tuoshe.

"My disciple actually killed Zhang Quan?"

Yun Qingyao's beautiful eyes fell on Lu Ren, and she was equally shocked internally.

As a former Ghost Sword Successor, she naturally understood Zhang Quan very well.

This Zhang Quan had once assassinated martial artists who were in the Spirit Stream Realm. Now, he had actually been killed by Lu Ren.
