The Chu royal residence’s young prince, Yang Dingkun… This Chu royal residence should be the faction that was first in trying to draw me in…”
Yi Yun recalled Xu Qingyun of the Linxiao Association. He first met Xu Qingyun when a lobbyist of the Chu royal residence tried to draw him into their faction by promising him many benefits.
But amongst the conditions given to him by the Chu royal residence, there was a hidden soul contract. Once it was signed, he would have to serve the Chu royal residences for many years.
It was then Xu Qingyun who stopped the lobbyist.
Although Yi Yun would most likely not have signed that unfair contract, even without Xu Qingyun’s interference, it was still something that was nauseating.
Yi Yun did not have a good impression of the Chu royal residence. Yang Dingkun, who tried to take advantage of the situation to profit by cheating him, was someone that Yi Yun would not mind swindling.
“The ‘Truth of the Laws’ then… alright, I’ll agree to it!” Yi Yun said in a slow manner. He had initially set up a trap for Li Hong to jump into, hoping to get more of Li Hong’s dragon scale runes. He did not expect that there would be another person who would walk up to the trap voluntarily and insist on jumping into it.
Hence, the stakes became bigger this time to the point that it exceeded Yi Yun’s estimations.
“Young master Yi, they are ganging up to cheat you out of the ‘Tai Ah Sacred Technique’.”
Seeing Yi Yun agree, Zhao Qingcheng became worried. The girls that surrounded him were also worried for Yi Yun.
Yi Yun may be strong, but Li Hong was a prominent figure amongst the second year cultivators of the Tai Ah Divine City.
Li Hong was ruthless and he had a dark personality. His strength was also horrifying. It would be hard for Yi Yun to beat him!
“Haha! That’s what you said! We have already recorded it with a video disk array. We will now go to the arena administration to file it. Don’t regret it now!”
The henchmen were overjoyed. Once it was filed, there would be no two ways about it.
But Yi Yun could not be bothered with them. He picked up a piece of meat and carried on eating.
“Kid, I’ll let you be arrogant for a little while longer. Tomorrow, you’ll be crying! Let’s go!” After a henchman said those tough words, he turned and left.
Seeing Yi Yun ignore them and carry on eating his desolate beast meat as before, Zhao Qingcheng and company were rendered speechless.
In less than two hours, the news that Yi Yun was betting the ‘Tai Ah Sacred Technique’ for the ‘Truth of the Laws’ with Li Hong had spread throughout the Tai Ah Divine City.
Even the veteran cultivators, who had spent four years in the Tai Ah Divine City, paid close attention to this matter.
The main reason was because the stakes involved the ‘Tai Ah Sacred Technique’!
“He even dares to bet the ‘Tai Ah Sacred Technique’!?” Many veteran cultivators turned green with envy when they heard this.
They had been been in the Tai Ah Divine City for a few years, yet they had never had the chance to even touch the jade scrolls of the ‘Tai Ah Sacred Technique’, let alone learn it.
“This Yi Yun is mad enough. He has not even had the ‘Tai Ah Sacred Technique’ for two months, and already he does not want it anymore? He sure is a loser!”
“That might not be it. Maybe Yi Yun has already attempted to learn the ‘Tai Ah Sacred Technique’ after he exchanged for it, but he was unable to master it. Since it is useless in his hands, he might as well use it as a bet.”
Some people analyzed it this way. Yi Yun gave a strange overall impression. His saber was overpowering, but his insight into the laws was weak. His talent was also said to only be average.
It would not be easy for Yi Yun to learn the ‘Tai Ah Sacred Technique’ under such circumstances.
For example, Qiuniu was considered to be similar to Yi Yun. Yi Yun’s saber technique was powerful, while Qiuniu’s strength was powerful. Qiuniu’s strength left many rookies in the dust, but not many people believed that Qiuniu would be able to master the ‘Tai Ah Sacred Technique’.
Learning something did not depend on a person’s fighting prowess, it depended on one’s perceptivity and talent!
As for people like Chu Xiaoran, many of them believed that she was the one most likely to master the ‘Tai Ah Sacred Technique’.
“He got it from the glory points he earned from picking herbs, so maybe he doesn’t know how to appreciate it? In the future, he will find out how hard is it to earn glory points!” Some people said angrily. They all wished the glory points that were used to exchange for the ‘Tai Ah Sacred Technique’ were theirs.
Naturally, Yi Yun was not bothered by the reactions the veteran cultivators had.
He already went looking for Cang Yan, because he was planning on entering the saber tomb. He wanted to spend the night honing his saber technique.
Li Hong was a strong opponent and Yi Yun did not know Li Hong’s full st
