Chapter 938: Chapter 938: Wagered Duel
Zhu Fei stepping forward was not without reason.
First and foremost, it’s the man before him, Luo Shanhe.
If Zhu Fei’s guess is correct, this Luo Shanhe should be the Luo conductor mentioned by Elder Hu and his associates back in the day.
In other words, Luo Shanhe is actually a person from the West City Auction House and, more importantly, his enemy.
But that is not the main point. The main point is that Zhu Fei sensed an aura on Luo Shanhe that excited even the Void Light Wheel.
Zhu Fei is confident that if he can obtain that thing from Luo Shanhe, the power of his Void Light Wheel will directly ascend several levels.
It might even release hundreds of prohibitions on the Void Light Wheel at once.
And it is precisely for these reasons that Zhu Fei decided to step forward this time.
Otherwise, with Zhu Fei’s temperament, why would he bother meddling in such matters?
Although Luo Shanhe is essentially his enemy, Zhu Fei would love to reclaim some of the past grievances from being chased by the West City Auction House.
But such irrational vendettas, especially ones with no real benefit, are not something Zhu Fei would pursue.
At least on this inter-domain train, as long as the opponent does not truly cross his bottom line, he absolutely won’t act rashly.
At this moment, upon hearing Zhu Fei’s words, Li Han was momentarily stunned. Then he burst into laughter and immediately replied:
"Since Brother Zhu has this intention, I, Li Han, will not retreat. No matter what, today I owe you a favor. If you need anything in the future, I, Li Han, will not decline."
After speaking, Li Han did not forget to transmit a message to Zhu Fei: "Brother Zhu, I’m grateful you stepped forward for me today, but I must remind you, the opponent, a late-stage Heavenly Immortal cultivator named Gu Lang, is a loyal subordinate of Luo Shanhe.
Previously, when he fought against my subordinates, a significant portion of them were injured by Gu Lang. If you end up facing him, you must be exceptionally careful."
Zhu Fei was indifferent to Li Han’s reminder.
Frankly, the only reason he intervened was because of the item that excited the Void Light Wheel.
Beyond that, Zhu Fei had no other thoughts.
As for Gu Lang, just a late-stage Heavenly Immortal cultivator, Zhu Fei didn’t take him seriously given his current strength.
"Hmm, boy, who are you? You seem quite bold."
Hearing Zhu Fei and Li Han’s conversation, Luo Shanhe’s eyes narrowed, and he coldly sneered:
"Very well, it’s been a while since I taught Li Han’s men a lesson. Since you’ve willingly come forward today, if any accident occurs, don’t blame me for not warning you."
As Luo Shanhe spoke, the Heavenly Immortal cultivator named Gu Lang stepped forward, eyes fixed intently on Zhu Fei.
Zhu Fei, at this moment, raised his hand and said, "Hold on!"
"What? Have you changed your mind?"
Luo Shanhe immediately displayed a trace of mockery, looking at Zhu Fei with a playful demeanor, "Come on, now it’s too late to regret, don’t you think?"
Zhu Fei’s face showed a hint of surprise; he chuckled, "Fellow Daoist, when did I say I regretted it?"
"What exactly do you mean?" Luo Shanhe frowned at once.
"What I mean is quite simple. Since it’s a duel, if there isn’t at least some wager, what’s the point? Don’t you agree?"
Seeing the smile inadvertently curving Zhu Fei’s lips, Luo Shanhe’s eyes flashed. He then nodded:
"Hmm, you’re right. If it’s just a simple fight between two people, it really is dull. So, tell me, what wager do you propose? What do you intend to offer?"
At this, Li Han couldn’t help but be surprised. He hadn’t expected Zhu Fei to play such a card.
But he quickly realized and took out a pile of items from his Storage Ring, saying:
"Brother Zhu, since you’re representing me, let me provide the wager. If you win, the items are yours. If you lose, I will cover the wager."
Seeing Li Han’s current actions, Zhu Fei almost wanted to commend him.
It’s exactly what he wanted. Earlier, Zhu Fei was pondering how to persuade Li Han to cover the wager or whether he should offer it himself.
But if he were to offer the wager himself, persuading Luo Shanhe to put up items would require some effort.
Now, with Li Han so cooperative, Zhu Fei hadn’t even asked, nor did he mention anything, yet Li Han voluntarily offered his items.
As a cultivator of equal standing with Li Han, Luo Shanhe had no choice but to reciprocate.
Indeed, when Luo Shanhe saw Li Han’s move, his expression slightly changed but quickly returned to normal, smiling:
"Haha, since you, Li Han, are willing to offer items as bets, what do I, Luo Shanhe, have to fear?"
Speaking, the light from Luo Shanhe’s Storage Ring on his finger suddenly flashed.
The next second, a heap of magical treasures, materials, and pills appeared before everyone.
Among these items, Zhu Fei’s gaze fell upon a particular piece of ore.
That ore, named Fiery Sun Stone, is a material used in crafting fire-element Immortal Artifacts.
In terms of value, the Fiery Sun Stone is decent, but just decent. At most, it’s worth a few hundred thousand low-grade Immortal Crystals.
But Zhu Fei knew that the Fiery Sun Stone, while appearing ordinary on the surface, must contain something special inside.
Because both earlier and now, the item exciting his Void Light Wheel was precisely this Fiery Sun Stone!
Without hesitation, Zhu Fei communicated to Li Han that the item he valued was the Fiery Sun Stone.
Additionally, Zhu Fei pointed out several other items, relaying each to Li Han via transmission.
Li Han, without unnecessary words, conveyed Zhu Fei’s requirements to Luo Shanhe.
Luo Shanhe, listening to this, didn’t overthink it, similarly stating his demands to Li Han.
Once both parties confirmed their wagers and made mutual oaths, they headed towards the duel platform on this level.
In just moments, under the guidance of Li Han and Luo Shanhe, everyone arrived at a duel platform inscribed with a strong Prohibition Array.
