"Pfft!"

Chu Mubai persevered until the end and similarly spat out a mouthful of blood before collapsing onto the ground.

However, he was just sitting on the ground and he still maintained his clarity of mind. He was the clearest contrast against Sun Bowen!

"How is this possible? He actually won! "

"This isn't real!"

In a split-second, the audience in the Shuo Yue dojo burst into cheers like a tidal wave.

Almost everyone could not believe what they had seen, yet they could not find any reason to refute.

Although Chu Mubai suffered a severe backlash because of the secret method, he still suffered a heavy blow.

On the other hand, the latter, even with Xiantian fourth stage, was already heavily injured and unconscious, unable to resist at all!

If it were not for the fact that harming the opponent's life was not allowed in the gambling match, perhaps Chu Mubai only needed to make a casual move, and he would be able to smash Sun Bowen's head!

"Save him!"

The King of Ancient State of Shuo Yue, Yin Yuehuang gave the order, and many Innate Rankers immediately jumped into the arena to save Sun Bowen.

As for secretly killing him in front of everyone's eyes, that was something that was unlikely to happen.

Sun Bowen was quickly saved and awakened. After all, he was a practitioner of Xiantian fourth stage, and his body's foundation was pretty solid.

He was Xiantian fourth stage, and Chu Mubai was just acquired limit. It could be said that there was a heaven and earth gap between the two of them, so why was he the one to lose in the end?

However, no matter how unwilling he was, there was nothing he could do.

With so many people watching the gambling, how could there be a problem?

On the contrary, if he questioned him now, the first person who would not let him go would be Yin Yuehuang!

Especially when Sun Bowen saw the ice-cold expression on Ling Xier's face, his heart was filled with terror and regret!

Last time in the Supreme Ocean Palace, Ling Xier had let him go to the second floor in secret. Although she didn't express a clear intention in her words, Sun Bowen understood that the former wanted him to use Demonic Blood Pill.

Right now, not only did he not follow Ling Xier's orders, he had also lost the bet. Didn't he offend Ling Xier?

The moment he thought about Ling Xier's strength and the Supreme Palace behind his back, Sun Bowen trembled all over, as though he was about to collapse!

He did not know how to explain it to Ling Xier. Perhaps even if he used his life, it might not be enough for Ling Xier to forgive him!

Ling Xier cursed in her heart and stopped paying attention to Sun Bowen.

Although Sun Bowen still had the Demonic Blood Pill in his possession, in Ling Xier's eyes, it was almost useless.

As for taking revenge on Sun Bowen, Ling Xier would not do it in broad daylight, it would only restrict Sun Bowen's authority in the Supreme Palace!

For something like this, not to mention her, even the original Zhao Tianxiao had that kind of power!

In actuality, if not for the fact that it was inconvenient for him to reveal his identity right now, just a single word from Ling Xier could completely obliterate both Sun Bowen and the Wu Hou Guo!

"Sun Bowen, are you convinced?"

In the VIP seats, Yin Yuehuang sat on the high throne, his face full of dignity.

"I am convinced!"

Sun Bowen immediately struggled to get up and pay his respects. With the support of his profound strength, and the urgent treatment just now, although his broken breastbone had not completely recovered, it had already become a light injury. There shouldn't be any big problems.

"Alright!"

Yin Yuehuang nodded slightly, changed the subject, and said: "You and Chu Mubai have a bet, and both sides have taken out three cities as the wager. Since you've lost, you must fulfill your promise within three months! Otherwise, you know the consequences! "

"Your subject accepts the order!"

Sun Bowen's heart trembled, but he still hurriedly bowed, not daring to be the slightest bit slow.

"Thank you, your majesty!"

Chu Mubai's face was still as pale as before, and his body was even trembling slightly. With Liu Xihua's support, it was as if he had truly been devoured by the secret technique.

"Chu Mubai, are you alright?"

Yin Yuehuang's eyes flashed with a bright light, as if he wanted to see through Chu Mubai's lies.

Chu Mubai had gone from an unknown warrior in his previous life to the peak of Martial God Continent, how could he leave behind any flaws that he could see through?

Shaking his head, Ling Xier's heart suddenly shivered as he became vigilant.

She carefully thought back to all of Chu Mubai's actions, and couldn't help but raise Chu Mubai's position in his heart once again!

Because, ever since Chu Mubai battled with Sun Bowen's former personal guard leader, Luo Liang, he had been intentionally acting, making others think that he was seriously injured.

This time, he was also acting all the time, in order to make others ignore his explosive battle power and speed of increase in strength!

Not only that, Chu Mubai had also earned a lot of money from this gamble with Sun Bowen, along with a good reputation!

There was one more thing that Ling Xier hated, and that was that she had secretly bet on Chu Mubai to buy the money that he had won, and had even been asked by Chu Mubai how much she had bet on her.

Now, Yin Yuehuang had personally confirmed Chu Mubai's victory, and even expressed concern, which meant that Ling Xier had to think of a way to pay for the money Chu Mubai had won!

"Damn it!"

Cursing in his heart, Ling Xier's disgust towards Sun Bowen suddenly became denser by a few degrees!

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. Your servant only needs to undergo recuperation to recover!"

Chu Mubai pretended to be grateful, and just as he finished speaking, he spat out another mouthful of blood!

"Recover? Laughable! "

"Chu Mubai is finished!"

The surrounding State of the Nine Prefectures s all shook their heads, as if everyone had the same opinion of this matter.

Yin Yuehuang nodded his head slightly, but in reality, he did not believe Chu Mubai's words at all.

After all, there were a lot of people watching. If Chu Mubai dared to say that it was no good, the Heaven Martial Kingdom would probably face a terrifying crisis!

After the gambling match was over, it was to be crowned.

Chu Mubai had only previously inherited the Heaven Martial Kingdom's position under the testamentary edict. Not to mention receiving the Ancient State of Shuo Yue's recognition and protection, even the other Country Lords did not care about his status.

In actuality, this was also the reason for the internal chaos within the Heaven Martial Kingdom.

Now, with the title of monarch, even if Chu Mubai's identity was perfectly justified, no one would be able to find any problems.

Not only that, with this acknowledgement, Chu Mubai would be able to officially be on equal footing with the other State of the Nine Prefectures's pillars, and would have a completely equal status!

Even within the State of the Nine Prefectures, it would depend on the degree of each other's national power, and even more so on the strength of each other's country leaders!

In the eyes of many dukes, even though Chu Mubai had helped the Heaven Martial Kingdom win the gambling match and gained three of the Wu Hou Guo's cities in name, at the same time, he had also obtained the identity of a true duke. However, when it really came down to it, Chu Mubai and the Heaven Martial Kingdom had still suffered greatly.

Firstly, Chu Mubai suffered from the backlash after using the secret technique, even if he could barely keep his life, he would not be able to improve in the future, and might even lose all of his cultivation!

And if he lost his cultivation, how would he command the Heaven Martial Kingdom?

So how could he go to Sun Bowen's hands and ask for the three cities as wagers?

Although the King of Ancient State of Shuo Yue, Yin Yuehuang, had a time limit of three months, many of the State leaders who were well-informed knew that Sun Bowen had already colluded with the General and ministers of the Ancient State of Shuo Yue.

Maybe, Sun Bowen lost in the gambling match and the first step of his plan failed, but he was not affected much!

In reality, after discovering that Ling Xier did not have any intentions to attack, Sun Bowen was already secretly thinking of a way to quickly finish Chu Mubai off.

The crowning ceremony was a grand gathering that all of the subordinate states under the Ancient State of Shuo Yue wanted to attend.

After all, they were the masters of their own country. If they could not take charge of their own country, it would be very easy for something to happen.

"Chu Mubai, if you can return to Heaven Martial Kingdom alive, I will give the entire Wu Hou Guo to you!"

Sun Bowen secretly clenched his teeth, but didn't reveal anything on the surface.

"Chu Mubai, who exactly are you? Who is the person and power behind you? "

Ling Xier ignored the surrounding sounds of flattery, as she continued to think about Chu Mubai's situation.

She had prepared two plans in a row, but two failures in a row made her even more curious.

She also knew that Chu Mubai would definitely not have any peace on the way back this time. Her body was planning to add fuel to the fire, or perhaps make a move herself, to lure out the person or power behind Chu Mubai!

However, the risk of that happening was extremely high.

If the news that Chu Mubai had no one backing him up were to leak out, it would be a huge blow to the entire Zhi Zun Hall.

If there really was someone behind Chu Mubai, then it would be an extremely terrifying existence. With just Ling Xier's astral plane, it was simply not enough to fight against the opponent!

"What a headache!"

The more he thought about it, the more confused he became. Ling Xier laughed instead.

She was nurtured by the Supreme Ocean Palace and was able to reach the astral plane in just two short years. Furthermore, she was groomed by the Supreme Ocean Palace's headquarters to have a vast amount of knowledge and wisdom.

If the mission this time wasn't challenging at all, she would still find it boring!

Right now, Chu Mubai's body was covered in layers of dense fog, which actually aroused the desire and strong idea in the bottom of his heart!

She believed that as long as he got serious, no matter how many secrets Chu Mubai had, they would all be clearly investigated in the end by her!
