Library of Heaven’s Path - Chapter 2116

He had no idea whether there was a God of Gamblers in the Firmament or not, but the young man before him had guessed correctly twice in a row. Even if that wasn’t the case, there was no doubt that he was.

Thus, he dared not gamble anymore.

Even if he did, he would have to wait and see if the young man’s guess was correct.

He looked at the spinning disc and made a rough calculation. It should be around fifty, but his face remained impassive as he turned to the young man beside him.

He turned around and instructed, “Wang Ying, go and buy number twenty-seven!”

“Yes!” A young lady behind him nodded and walked out. A moment later, the results were out.

Cold sweat trickled down Yao Shan’s back.

It was fortunate that he didn’t gamble, or else he would have lost his kitchen!

Just that … how in the world did the young man bet so accurately?

It was one out of a hundred!

Luck …

The first time could be attributed to luck, and the second time could still be attributed to luck. But to do it three times in a row … that had nothing to do with luck at all!

In truth, he wasn’t the only one who couldn’t believe it. Zhao Ya and the others were also looking at Yao Shan in awe.

Even in the Firmament, where there were countless experts, their teacher was still as outstanding as he was!

…

Fu Yuan was one of the three most influential elders under City Lord Wu Fangqing of Twilight City, and he was in charge of the operations of the Netherworld Palace.

He was in charge of the selection of slots.

After finishing his lunch, Fu Yuan stretched his back lazily before looking for a place to listen to some music.

Even though he wasn’t the most influential person in Twilight City, he was still satisfied with his current situation. He was a high-tier God, second only to the city lord.

He knew that it was impossible for him to become a Celestial God with his current talent. Since that was the case, why should he waste his remaining time fighting for strength?

He might as well muddle along and live a leisurely life!

“Luo Sheng, help me ask around. Is Xiaolian from the Cuihong Pavilion done? She’s done. I’ll look for her after I finish listening to the music, “Fu Yuan instructed.

Xiaolian was one of his close friends, and he frequented the Cuihong Pavilion.

The servant named Luo Sheng nodded before rushing out of the room. Not too long later, he returned with an anxious look on his face.

“What’s wrong?” Fu Yuan asked as he tidied his clothes.

“Elder, someone just came to report that someone … bought a spot to enter the Sacred Mountain and won eleven times in a row!” Fu Sheng hurriedly said.

“Eleven times in a row?” Elder Fu Yuan was stunned. He stopped in his tracks. “What do you mean? Is it him? Did he buy a hundred numbers in one go? Or … what’s going on? ”

Previously, there were also many tycoons who bought all the numbers as soon as they arrived. That way, no matter what number was offered, they would get it.

“No, he only buys one each time, but he always wins. It’s as if the array formation is under his control …” Luo Sheng said.

His face was filled with disbelief.

“Only one? Fu Yuan’s eyes widened. “You’re not lying to me?”

“It’s true … the outside world is in an uproar!” Luo Sheng said.

“This … Have you checked the array formations to see if there are any problems?”

“I’ve checked everything. Everything is normal …”

“Let’s head over to take a look …” No longer in the mood to listen to music, Fu Yuan hurriedly made his way over to Netherworld Palace. Not too long later, he arrived at his destination.

At this time, there were already countless people piled up in front of the round plate that was responsible for drawing the slots.

“He got it again! This is already the thirteenth time! ”

“Indeed. How did he manage to get it thirteen times in a row?”

“It seems like we won’t be able to get the remaining slots …”

…

Disbelief was written all over the faces of the crowd.

Elder Fu Yuan walked up to the round plate and took a closer look, only to see that there was indeed nothing wrong with the array formation. The young man at the center of the crowd didn’t move at all either. On the contrary, he kept his hands behind his back.

That way, they would be able to determine the number of slots. Thirteen times in a row, and a single one of them got it right?

“Allow me!” Seeing that the fourteenth round was about to begin, Elder Fu Yuan couldn’t hold himself back anymore. He leaped onto the stage, tapped his finger, and the round plate began to spin.

The formation glowed brightly. He carefully checked every single part of it, but there was nothing wrong with it.

“Let’s buy Number 13!”

A moment later, the mist dissipated, and Number 13 appeared before everyone.

It was still the same as before!

“This friend over there, who in the world are you? What is the meaning of this? ”

Unable to hold himself back any longer, Elder Fu Yuan leaped down from the stage and bellowed furiously.

“I’m just a nobody who happened to pass by this area, so I decided to buy a slot,” Zhang Xuan replied with a smile.

“Just by buying a slot? To be able to get it right fourteen times in a row? “Elder Fu Yuan waved his hand.” Men, bring this esteemed guest to his room. I think that there’s a need for us to question him properly. ”

“Question him properly? Is the great Netherworld Palace going to be a sore loser just because I’m able to guess the numbers every single time? “Zhang Xuan raised his eyebrows.

This was no different from a lottery. They couldn’t possibly arrest him just because he won a prize every single time!

It wasn’t as if he was breaking the rules. The formation was still in place, not moving at all.

“The reason why the Netherworld Palace took out two hundred slots is to allow the participants to draw a lottery to show fairness. If you buy all of the slots, what will happen to the other cultivators? How can there be fairness in this? “Elder Fu Yuan said.

“Fairness? Is it for the sake of fairness that these people have been scheming all this while? There are also many people who are immersed in this for a living. How can this be called fairness? ”

Zhang Xuan waved his hand and said, “Alright, since you don’t want me to buy the slots, I won’t buy them. Farewell!”

His eleven direct disciples, his parents, and Sun Qiang made a total of fourteen people. Now that he had obtained fourteen slots, there was no need for him to continue.

After all, his goal was the Aura of Divinity, not the Netherworld Palace.

He had just arrived in the Firmament, so it was best for him to keep a low profile.

“Hold it right there!” Before Elder Fu Yuan could say anything, an old man from the crowd suddenly stepped forward and blocked Zhang Xuan’s path. He was Yao Shan, who had lost the bet earlier. “Do you think that you can just leave after obtaining so many slots? Don’t you think so too? ”

“That’s right!”

“We came here to draw a lottery, but now that you’ve taken away all of our slots, we’ve lost our chance. You must be dreaming if you think that you can just leave without giving us a proper explanation!”

“Of the fourteen slots, it shouldn’t be too much for you to take out seven of them, right?”

Discussions broke out among the crowd, and quite a few of them sneered coldly.

Even though they had no idea how Zhang Xuan was able to guess the correct answer, there was no way they would allow him to leave so easily.

With a deep frown, Zhang Xuan turned to Elder Fu Yuan and asked, “Is this the rule of your Netherworld Palace? You don’t allow others to succeed in purchasing the slots? ”

Elder Fu Yuan was stunned for a moment before replying, “Of course not! However, I suspect that you might have cheated since you got the correct answer fourteen times in a row … ”

“Cheated? Very well then! “Zhang Xuan turned to look at Elder Fu Yuan and said,” Show me what you’ve done! Everyone here can show me what you’ve done. If you’re able to guess the correct number, I don’t mind taking out all fourteen slots for you! ”

“Ah …”

The crowd was rendered speechless.

If they were able to guess the number of slots correctly, they would have made a fortune long ago.

“Can’t do it?” Zhang Xuan shook his head. “Then, I’ll be taking my leave.”

After saying those words, he beckoned to his disciples, and they quickly followed behind him out of the hall.

“You can’t leave …”

The crowd immediately surrounded Zhang Xuan.

“If you don’t want me to leave, that’s fine too. If I’m not mistaken, there are still sixteen slots that have yet to be distributed, right? At most, I’ll just stay here and draw all of the slots!”

With his hands crossed in front of his chest, Zhang Xuan smiled.

Everyone leaped in fright upon hearing those words. Just thinking about how miraculous Zhang Xuan was, they couldn’t help but cower in fear.

If they were to stay here, they might still be able to get the correct answer a few more times. However, if they were to stay here and draw all of the slots, they would only be wasting their money!

“Don’t listen to his nonsense. He only has fourteen Semi-Divinities with him, and fourteen chances is already his limit,” Yao Shan said.

He had noticed earlier that there were fourteen Semi-Divinities with Zhang Xuan, and each of them could only draw once a day … Even if they wanted to, would they have the ability to do so?

“That’s right!”

“Even if we stay here, we won’t be able to draw anymore …”

The crowd widened their eyes in realization and tried to stop Zhang Xuan once more.

As long as they didn’t allow Zhang Xuan to leave, it was only a matter of time before he spat out a portion of the slots.

In any case, with so many people present, there was no lack of experts among them. No matter how powerful Zhang Xuan was, he wouldn’t dare to go against them. Besides, they were in the city, and they had to abide by the rules.

“You won’t be able to draw anymore? Elder Fu, if I’m not mistaken, there’s no restriction on this lottery, right? ”

Zhang Xuan couldn’t be bothered to pay any heed to the crowd blocking his path, so he replied with a smile.

He had already gotten a good grasp of the rules.

“Of course!” Elder Fu Yuan nodded.

There were many divine beasts in the Firmament who were able to morph into human form. It would be unfair to the divine beasts if the lottery was only limited to humans.

Thus, the rules of the lottery weren’t limited to humans or anything else.

“Very well then …” Zhang Xuan turned to Sun Qiang and instructed.

The latter looked at Zhang Xuan with a bizarre look on his face, and his lips twitched uncontrollably. A moment later, he returned with fourteen horses.

“Since you won’t allow me to leave, my horses are only at Semi-Divinity realm, so they need a slot as well. It’s not too much to ask them to draw the lottery, right?”

Zhang Xuan said with a wave of his hand. One of the horses immediately stepped forward, wrote ’64’ on the ground, and passed a Divine Coin over.

The young man on the stage was caught in a dilemma as to whether he should accept the Divine Coin or not. A moment later, he finally took the Divine Coin and passed it over.

Weng!

The formation vanished, and the pointer on the round plate was revealed … Number 64!

“Even horses can draw the lottery?”

“The Netherworld Pavilion didn’t say that animals can’t draw the lottery, but there are more than a dozen of them here. If all of them are drawn, won’t there be no more slots left?”

“What should we do then?”

…

Everyone was frenzied.

They thought that since the other party had already obtained a slot, they wouldn’t be able to draw the lottery anymore. Who could have thought that the other party would actually bring over a horse as well?

More importantly, these horses could actually draw money and guess the correct number …

How were they supposed to live?

Were they not even comparable to horses?

“Let him go!” Elder Fu Yuan gritted his teeth and bellowed.

If they didn’t let him go now, all of the slots would be swept clean by the other party.

This was the first time that they felt so stifled ever since the lottery began. They had the strength to do so, but they couldn’t do anything about it.

They had to abide by the rules in the city, but sometimes, there were just too many rules, and there was nothing they could do about it.
