Chapter 356: Bet

"Since your City Lord's Mansion is not participating, it doesn't matter whether you wait or not." The second Bai Family Elder sneered after hearing Feng Wuji, not putting Feng Wuji in his eyes at all.

"Hmph!" Feng Wuji let out a cold snort. At the same time, the aura of a martial artist at the half-step Immortal King Realm spread out, enveloping the people from Bai Family. "Don't think that you can act so arrogantly in front of me just because someone powerful is backing you.

"You…"

Feeling Feng Wuji's powerful aura, expression of the second Elder of the Bai Family changed. As for the disciples of the Bai Family behind him, all of their faces were pale and their bodies began to tremble.

"Bai Family, that's all you have." Feng Wuji retracted the pressure and smiled faintly.

The second Elder of the Bai Family, Bai Ming snorted coldly and did not say a word. Because what he said was the truth. The strength that Feng Wuji had just displayed in his Blue Wind City, perhaps only the Supreme Elder of their Bai Family could match him.

Feng Wuji was only one of the many dukes of the Golden Kingdom's Imperial Family. If every one of them had the same strength as Feng Wuji, then wanting to exterminate their Bai Family or perhaps even the Snow Cold Palace would be an easy matter.

Feng Wuji noticed the change in Bai Ming's expression and sneered in his heart. He continued to speak, "In this competition of Nature's Chakra, my City Lord's Mansion will also participate."

"City Lord, I think you should know the rules of the Nature's Chakra competition." The head of the Mo family and the person in charge of the Mu Family frowned and said. No one dared to underestimate the power of City Lord's Mansion. Although it had always been very low-key, everyone was very clear on the strength of City Lord's Mansion. Now, the City Lord's Mansion was finally going to reveal its fangs?

"Of course I know that. You can be at ease, I will naturally abide by the rules." Feng Wuji swept his gaze across the three people and walked to the side, revealing Ye Xiao who was behind him. He said: "This little brother is our City Lord's Mansion's contestant."

"It is him…"

"It is you…"

Several members of the three great forces opened their eyes wide as they shouted out at the same time.

"What is it? Mu Rong, do you know him?" The person in charge of Mu Family, Mu Yi, looked towards the youth beside him and said.

"Second Elder, he is the youth that killed Bai Shan." Mu Rong's face twitched when he saw Ye Xiao's gaze looking at him. He still had some lingering fear in his heart as he said this. That day at Floating Fragrance Restaurant, the prowess that Ye Xiao showed was truly stunning. It was not easy to forget that scene.

"It is actually him. It looks like this time City Lord's Mansion has already decided to must obtain the qualifications to enter the Nature's Chakra." Mu Yi said thoughtfully but his gaze was on Bai Family at the side.

To put it nicely, this competition for Nature's Chakra was a battle between the three great clans. However, everyone was clear that the final victor was already decided.

With the help of Snow Cold Palace, the strength of the Bai Family's younger generation had long been overthrown by the Blue Wind City of many other forces. And this time, the reason why Feng Wuji invited Ye Xiao was very clear. It was to tell Bai Family that I, Feng Wuji, dislike the likes of you.

"Men, seize this villain." Bai Ming stared at Ye Xiao with a cold glint in his eyes and said to the group of Martial Artists of the Bai family.

In a split second, more than ten figures flew out from the Bai Family area, grabbing towards Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao's expression was calm as if he did not see the dozen or so martial artists that were attacking him.

"Hmph."

A cold snort rang out, as after seeing the gesture of Feng Wuji, the warriors of City Lord Mansion dashed forward to counter-attack. Both sides fought before quickly separating. The City Lord's Mansion's men steadily stood on the ground while the Bai Family's people all lied down on the ground with pale faces. It was clear that they had suffered quite a bit from the previous clash.

"City Lord, what do you mean by this?" Bai Ming's face was extremely gloomy.

"This little brother is currently a guest of my City Lord's Mansion and he has come here to represent me in the competition. So I naturally have the right to protect him." Feng Wuji said indifferently.

"City Lord, this kid killed more than ten of my Bai Family's men. My Bai Family must kill him." Bai Ming enunciated each word coldly.

Feng Wuji smiled lightly: "You guys from the Bai Family should be asking for it. After the death of your men, you can't blame anyone else. Today, with me here, none of you can touch him. "

"You…" Bai Ming looked at Feng Wuji. His face was green with anger but there was nothing he could do. Their Bai Family was indeed the strongest amongst them, but Feng Wuji was able to use his City Lord's Mansion to mobilize the city's defense troops which was an army of over ten thousand people. If they were to crush their Bai Family, their Bai Family would be destroyed in an instant.

"Humph! I'll let this little bastard be proud for a while. I don't believe that City Lord can protect him for the rest of his life."

Bai Ming glared at Ye Xiao and retracted his gaze unwillingly.

"I don't think your two families have any objections either." Feng Wuji narrowed his eyes and said towards Mu Family and the Mo family.

"Nope." Mo Li and Mu Yi shook their heads. To be able to see their Bai Family deflated was better than anything else. Besides, if the place to enter Nature's Chakra was taken by City Lord's Mansion, it would be much better than Bai Family.

After all, City Lord's Mansion didn't have the ambition to dominate Blue Wind City. And this Bai Family, on the other hand, was so ambitious that it even wholeheartedly wanted to annex the two great families, turning the Mo and Mu Family into a subordinate clan of the Bai Family.

"Can we start now?" Bai Ming said with a dark expression.

"Mm, let's begin." Feng Wuji said indifferently as he sat in his seat.

As the crowd below watched the Blue Wind City four forces gathered together, they also instantly went into an uproar.

"Come, let's bet. Let's see which family's genius will win this bet." Outside the crowd, a group of fellows had long since set up a gambling house. This was practically a gamble that would definitely happen in every Nature's Chakra competition.

Bai Family's odd was 1:1. The odd of the Mo Family and the Mu Family was 1: 8 while City Lord's Mansion was a little outrageous, 1: 50. Other than Bai Family, the other two great families had participated in the competition for Nature's Chakra before. Only City Lord's Mansion had not participated in this. So no one ever betted on the City Lord's Mansion.

And this time also, almost no one has confidence on the City Lord's Mansion so everyone had put their bets on the Bai Family. Even the people of the Mo and Mu Family had put their bets on the Bai Family. 

As for placing bets on the City Lord's Mansion, no one placed their bets on the City Lord's Mansion.

But at this moment, a voice, that surprised the audience, sounded like a thunderclap in everyone's ears.

"Come on, I'll bet on City Lord's Mansion. One million High Grade Spirit Stones." A middle-aged scholar walked over and directly betted three thousand High Grade Spirit Stones on the City Lord's Mansion.

This middle-aged scholar was City Lord's Mansion's aide and was also Feng Wuji's right-hand man, Li Shang. A look of helplessness appeared on his face. He naturally did not want to participate in this gamble. However, after City Lord's daughter's continuous insistence, he helplessly came to bet on City Lord's Mansion, hoping for Ye Xiao to win.

[Author's Note:- Although this is the Upper Realm and there are Immortal Stones here, it didn't mean that Spirit Stones are useless. High Grade Spirit Stones are used as common currency in small cities. As for Spirit Stones below High Grade, they were of no use. Kids play with them!

Even for the cultivation of seven levels of Mortal Realm, people of the Upper Realm only use High Grade Spirit Stones. There is simply no use of Middle Grade or Low Grade Spirit Stones in the Upper Realm!]
