n control myself, I blurted out something like this.As soon as he finished speaking, the faces of everyone present changed. After all, Changsun Dongju was Changsun Wenzhi's biological daughter. Speaki..."Yes."

Ling Jianfeng said, “As one of the Seven Great Clans, the Zhao family has many shops in Yuangu City, including the most profitable gambling den.”

These casinos are already very profitable on a daily basis, and now with the Hundred Strong Tournament underway, every battle can be said to be bringing in gold by the day.

"Making a fortune every day"

Ye Bufan curled the corner of his mouth into a sneer. Since the Zhao family came to his door looking for trouble, then he'd just take their casino and ruin it first.

"What are the odds if we win our group and advance"

Ling Jianfeng said: "In our group, only the Zhao family is a hundred to one, the rest are ten to one wins."

"Where is the rest"

Ye Bufan frowned slightly.

Logically, a small sect like Lingyun Jianzong has an extremely low probability of winning and its odds should be much higher than this.

"That's how it is..."

Ling Jianfeng said, "Because this group has too much uncertainty, besides Zhao Family, the remaining nine sects all have a chance to qualify."

Therefore, all casinos dare not set the odds too high, or else they will definitely lose money.

If a group has two seeded teams, then the odds for other minor sects are surprisingly high.

Ye Bufan nodded, it was indeed the truth.

How many Xianjing are there in the sect now

Ling Jianfeng was stunned for a moment before saying, "Recently, the consumption within the sect has been quite large, with roughly over four million and eighty thousand Xianjing left."

"A bit lacking."

Ye Bufan was a little dissatisfied. According to the odds of one to ten, the money he had could only let the Zhao family bleed a little.

It's okay though, it's not like a competition anyway. Let's take it step by step.

"Ice Yan still has a little bit, let's all pool together and then go to Zhao's gambling den and bet on our Ling Yun Sword Sect winning."

"This..."

Ling Jianfeng hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Master, this is all our sect's wealth. If we lose, we'll be finished."

He wasn't unwilling to part with the Xianjing in his hands. It was the influence of the master-servant contract that made him extremely loyal, which is why he gave this advice.

"Then you don't have to worry about it, just do what I said," Ye Bufan said faintly.

"Yes!"

Ling Jianfeng didn't dare to say anything more, so he hurriedly took all the Xianjing from Ling Jianfei, Ling Jianyi, Ling Jiance, and the others.

Adding Luo Bingyan and the ones in her hands, it adds up to almost five million mid-grade fairy crystals.

Then he went out and came to the Zhaos' gate, putting all that money down on Lingyun Sword Sect.

Five million immortal crystals isn't a small sum, but the casino business has been booming these days and hasn't caused much of a stir.

The next morning, the day of the Hundred Schools Championship finally arrived, and all the major sects were making hectic preparations for the competition.

Zhao Jia, Zhao Xingyun, who was originally arrogant and disdained to participate in the group stage competition, chose to compete directly in order to completely crush Ling Yun Jian Zong and avenge himself.

For large sects like them, the group stage is usually just a formality. They'll send out some peak Immortal Kings to participate.

One is that there is a big gap in strength, and it's unnecessary to reveal all their cards.

Secondly, it is also to hide one's strength and give the sect's disciples a certain advantage in the upcoming Hundred Strong Competition.

For safety's sake, the Zhao family set a lineup of one Immortal Monarch accompanied by four peak-level Immortal Kings.

Since Zhao Xingyun is willing to actively participate in that position of Immortal Monarch, let him take it.

Generally, the celestial lords who take to the field are fixed sea stones. They don't even need to make a move. A celestial king at his peak can completely solve those small sects.

Compared to the Zhao family's calmness, the Han family was in a bit of chaos.

After sending four men out, Han Ling returned to the station and waited for news.

But after waiting a whole day, I didn't see a single person. I couldn't even contact Han Kuo and the others through the communication jade talismans.

Even this morning, just as the competition is about to begin, the four have still not returned.

Now the elder leading the Han family is completely panicked, you see these four people are all contestants.

Their previous tactics were identical to those of the Zhao family, with one Immortal Monarch appearing alongside four peak-level Immortal Kings.

This way, both victory can be ensured and the family's influence can be hidden, making it easier to achieve better results in the following competitions.

Now that the personnel has been confirmed and the list submitted, these four individuals have suddenly vanished without a trace, disrupting all plans.

After learning the truth about the matter, he scolded Han Lingkuang and slapped him hard. He was making trouble at such an important time for the competition.

Then the Han family mobilized all their resources to search, but they still found nothing. The four people had vanished without a trace, as if they had evaporated into thin air.

Having no other choice, the Han family could only rearrange their plans, sending all their core disciples to the front lines, barely managing to conceal their strongest member.

Although it doesn't significantly impact the overall strength, doing something like this at the start makes everyone feel extremely uncomfortable.

Especially Han Lingkuang, he's simply been treated unfairly to the extreme.

He has always been domineering and tyrannical, bullying both men and women, never having failed.

This time, things turned out badly. He didn't get the Xianling Grass, he didn't snatch the woman away, he lost four core disciples from different sects, and was scolded by the elder. This left him with a burning rage inside him.

In the center of Yuangu City lies a vast schoolyard where the annual Hundred Schools Tournament has been held for years.

Ye Bufan, accompanied by the disciples of Lingyun Sword Sect, arrived early. As soon as they entered, they saw a platform in the center, ten zhang high and one hundred zhang wide.

Unlike the previous events he participated in, this platform was not fixed in place but a specially crafted magical artifact.

The spiritual energy fluctuations were extremely intense, and various protective formations were engraved on its surface.

But thinking about it, it's understandable. This time, the Daluo Immortals who made a move were all weaklings, and even there were strong Immortal Kings present. An ordinary ring simply couldn't withstand it.

As for the layout of the arena, it was much the same everywhere. In the center stood a platform, surrounded by a ring of spectator stands. At this moment, powerful figures from all over had already gathered there.

In the east, there is a prime spot and, besides that, an extremely luxurious viewing platform. This is prepared for the strong cultivators of the Three Sects, Five Factions, and Seven Great Houses.

Such large-scale events are not only about the 100 spots in the Primal Ancient Realm, but also a great opportunity for major forces to recruit talented disciples.

Also for this reason, all major factions placed great importance on it, sending their most capable powerhouses here to watch the battle.

Feeling the vibrant energy here, Ling Jianfeng and the others were extremely excited. This was the first time in many years that they were qualified to participate in the competition here.

Dozens of guards, each a powerful expert at the level of a Great Luo Immortal, stood guard at the schoolyard gate.

Arriving at the gate, Ye Bufan presented his competition token. Shortly after, a guard led them towards the seats designated for Di Le Tian's party.

As soon as everyone had settled in, a figure appeared before their seats. It was Han Lingkuang, his face ashen with rage.

He glared at Ye Bufan fiercely, his eyes blazing with fury.

His intuition told him that the disappearance of several members of the Han family was definitely related to the person in front of him.

"Boy, tell me, where did Han Kuo and the others go"

His shout immediately caught the attention of countless people, and everyone's eyes turned to him.s foreign capital investment"Su Ruyu shook her head: "This is a company 100% owned by Huaxia.
