The crowd was stunned for a long time. Finally, Qian Hong was the first to react, his greedy eyes fixed on the God of Slaughter Crossbow in Ye Yun's hand.
"Elder Ye, are you really going to stake it as a bet?"
"A word spoken is as hard to recall as a horse."
"Heh heh, then if you lose, you can't go back on your word!"
Qian Hong looked at Ye Yun, as if he was afraid he would renege.
Ye Yun chuckled and scanned his surroundings.
"Now that so many people are witnessing this, you can rest assured."
"Good, Elder Ye has courage!"
At this moment, Qian Hong was struggling to suppress his laughter.
This Ye Yun was truly overconfident, relying on those few young girls under him to win first place?
As for the God of Slaughter Crossbow in Ye Yun's hand, he had heard about it before.
A quasi-celestial being against a peak celestial being, it would be crushed at the first touch, its power comparable to a quasi-Emperor artifact!
If he could obtain this top-grade immortal artifact, his status throughout the Celestial Domain would rise further.
It would even give him more confidence in pursuing Xu Binglan.
Afterward, he looked directly at Ye Yun and said.
"Then it's settled! The contract is made, and no one can go back on it!"
"No problem."
Qian Hong's eagerness made Ye Yun find it somewhat amusing.
Of course, the main reason was that he had too many top-grade immortal artifacts on his side...
With both sides confirming, this unparalleled gamble was thus set.
The surrounding witnesses erupted in a cacophony of noise.
"They're crazy, they're crazy, Elder Ye is definitely insane!"
Publicly staking a top-grade immortal artifact as a bet, Ye Yun could certainly be called the number one person in the Celestial Domain.
Even Feng Qingxian, who was dealing with a difficult problem posed by the Heavenly Dao Divine Hall in the distant Empress Palace, looked at the projection crystal before her with a playful smile.
"This is truly a grand gamble, and this little fellow is too good at hiding his strengths. To think he possesses such treasures..."
First, it was a top-grade immortal sword, and now it was another top-grade immortal artifact.
This made Feng Qingxian even entertain a thought.
"One of these days, I'll have to find an opportunity to strip him bare and see how many good things he's hiding!"
...
In the ancient arena, after Qian Hong made the bet with Ye Yun, he temporarily left the stage and went directly to the Qianxun Mountain camp not far away.
As soon as he returned, he pulled Qian Feng into a corner, handed him a spatial ring, and said in a deep voice.
"Inside this, there is a trump card prepared for you. If you are truly in a desperate situation, you can use it."
"Uh... a trump card?"
Qian Feng was a little surprised. Then Qian Hong explained it to him in detail.
After listening, Qian Feng's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile.
"No problem, with such a trump card, if I still can't win, I can die on this battlefield today!"
Seeing his confidence, Qian Hong nodded with satisfaction.
"It's good that you have confidence. You saw the bet, so this battle today must be won, not lost!
"If you win first place this time, I will definitely put in a good word for you before the Great Emperor when we return."
Although Qian Feng was a favored son of heaven, his status in Qianxun Mountain had not yet reached its peak. Upon hearing this, he became instantly excited.
"No problem! I'll definitely take first place!"
...
Meanwhile, on Ye Yun's side, he looked at Xu Binglan with a smile and said.
"Elder Xu, what about you? Won't you join in for a little fun?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Binglan looked at him and said in her usual calm voice.
"He's an idiot, but I'm not."
Xu Binglan slowly said, "If Elder Ye didn't have absolute confidence, why would he bring out such a treasure?"
Clearly, compared to Qian Hong, who was a bit carried away by emotion.
Xu Binglan was more insightful and extremely astute.
Coupled with the fact that her disciple Gu Shuai had informed her of everything Ye Yun had done, she trusted Ye Yun immensely.
Ye Yun chuckled and said, "What a pity, I won't be able to profit from Elder Xu."
He had originally wanted to earn some extra money, but it seemed there was no hope for it.
After this, the sixty participating prodigies from both sides successively took the stage and participated in a lottery ceremony, quickly examining the lot numbers they had drawn.
Among them, most were around twenty years old.
Therefore, the audience members suspected they were seeing things when they saw Ye Yun's side field six young girls.
They looked to be only seventeen or eighteen years old. How powerful could they be? Wasn't this just giving away treasures for free?
"Alright, the lottery is over!"
Just then, Ye Yun's voice resounded throughout the venue, and he looked at the sixty people on the stage and said.
"Next is the first match. Please leave, everyone except those who drew the number one lot."
As soon as he said this, everyone's attention focused on the stage.
As the irrelevant individuals withdrew one after another, the two figures remaining made everyone's eyes light up.
"Good heavens, what incredible luck..."
Even Ye Yun was quite surprised, because on stage were Qian Luan from Qianxun Mountain and Lin Xueyan!
They both looked at each other in surprise, proudly displaying their lot numbers, which were both number one.
Seeing this situation, Qian Hong almost burst into laughter.
"It's truly a good start, one of them will be eliminated right away!"
Qian Luan on stage was also a little surprised by the result.
However, after a brief moment of stunned silence, he looked at Lin Xueyan opposite him with a playful expression.
"Little sister, it seems your luck is not very good, to be matched against me right from the start."
Seeing that she had encountered an enemy, Lin Xueyan's expression turned sharp, and she said coldly.
"Why do I think it's good luck? To be able to teach you a lesson right away."
"Heh heh... teach me?"
Qian Luan narrowed his eyes and chuckled.
"I'm afraid you don't have the strength for that!"
"Then let's try."
Lin Xueyan glanced at him and couldn't be bothered to waste more words.
At this moment, Ye Yun, who was presiding, looked at the two and asked with a faint smile.
"Are both of you ready?"
Lin Xueyan nodded slightly at him, indicating she was ready.
Qian Luan on the other side also nodded, then said with a smile.
"Senior Ye, if I beat her black and blue later, you won't blame me, will you?"
With the support of the Grand Elder, Qian Luan was not polite to Ye Yun at all.
Hearing this, Ye Yun only gave him a friendly smile in return.
"If you can do it, then try."
Then, without further ado, he looked at the two and beckoned.
"The first match of the Three Mountains Exchange Meet is ready. Lin Xueyan of Chaofeng Mountain versus Qian Luan of Qianxun Mountain, begin now!"
"Both sides shall compete in martial arts, stopping at a suitable point, and must not intentionally harm the opponent's life."
As the voice fell, Ye Yun's figure floated far away, observing the match as the referee.
The others also focused their attention. The ancient arena fell silent, with only the sound of the fierce wind blowing.
On the ancient arena, Qian Luan's aura surged, and the pressure of a third-stage Profound Immortal suddenly swept across the battlefield.
He conjured a silver saber in his hand, looked at Lin Xueyan, and provocatively beckoned.
"Little sister, don't blame me for not giving you a chance. I'll let you make the first move!"
Lin Xueyan looked at his frivolous demeanor, coupled with the threatening words he had just spoken to her master, her face turned ashen.
Seeing her expression, Qian Luan was still laughing recklessly.
"Look at that expression? Are you angry? Unfortunately, even if you're angry, it's meaningless..."
This time, Lin Xueyan ignored him.
Since the battle had begun, the best way was to make him shut up with her strength!
Then she waved her hand, conjuring a long sword in her palm, and a dominant aura erupted from her, suppressing Qian Luan.
"You can go and die!"
A sharp light flashed in Lin Xueyan's eyes. As the majestic Profound Immortal energy of a third-stage Profound Immortal appeared on her, she instantly stunned everyone present.
"Holy crap, this little girl is a third-stage Profound Immortal?"
"This is insane, she must have been boosted by pills!"
""
Furthermore, Lin Xueyan's sword rotated, and her figure shot towards Qian Luan like lightning.
The speed she displayed shocked even Qian Luan.
"What?!"
Qian Luan was not prepared when the sword edge of Lin Xueyan's attack struck him, sending him flying backward.
"This guy, his strength is so terrifying?!"
Qian Luan was once again shocked. Seeing Lin Xueyan's sword attacking again, he hastily tried to dodge.
Lin Xueyan let out a cold snort.
"Too slow!"
As she spoke, her figure had already appeared before Qian Luan again, slashing down with her sword.
