Chapter 1858

The man in black laughed, "What? Did I say something wrong? If you aren't convinced, you can send them a message to come and gamble against me!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd around them also began to clamor.

"That's right, send a message! Let that so-called Luo Tian and Yueli come over!"

"Exactly, if you have the ability, have them compete with our Saint Son!"

The few people opposite them, however, all fell silent upon hearing this.

The man in black laughed, "What? Why aren't you sending a message?"

Someone opposite gritted their teeth and said, "We don't have his communication jade talisman."

As soon as this was said, the people from the Black Dragon Court burst into wild laughter.

"Don't have it? Is it because you're afraid of losing, so you don't dare?"

"That's right, I think your Nine Heavens Profound Array Assembly is just trash! That Luo Tian and Yueli are nothing but fame-seeking frauds!"

In an instant, sounds of ridicule rang out continuously.

The few people from the Nine Heavens Profound Array Assembly were red-faced, but they had no way to refute it at this moment.

Just then, among the few, someone suddenly looked in the direction of Luo Tian.

The next instant, their eyes lit up.

"Luo Tian? It's Lord Luo Tian!" they said with a trembling voice.

"Hm?"

Once the words were spoken, the crowd around them all looked toward Luo Tian in unison.

Whoosh!

At this moment, the few people from the Nine Heavens Profound Array Assembly all arrived in front of Luo Tian.

"Lord Luo Tian, is it really you?" The leader was even more excited.

Luo Tian looked at the other party, his brows slightly furrowed, and said, "You are... Chi Langyuan?"

Luo Tian had already recognized the other party; he was the one who had accompanied Master Huo and others to the Nine Heavens Profound Array Assembly for the competition previously.

Hearing this, Chi Langyuan's face instantly showed joy, "The Lord still remembers my name!"

But before he could say anything more, the man in black opposite suddenly narrowed his eyes and said, "Luo Tian? You are Luo Tian? The top-ranked person of the Nine Heavens Profound Array Assembly?"

Hearing this, Luo Tian nodded and said, "It is me!"

The man in black's eyes instantly flashed with two sharp glints, "Good! I have long wanted to meet you; I didn't expect to run into you here today! I am Yin Shiming, the current Saint Son of the Black Dragon Court. I challenge you to a gambling match today; do you dare to accept?"

Luo Tian's brows furrowed slightly, and he was just about to refuse this meaningless dispute.

But just then, he saw Chi Langyuan whisper, "Lord Luo Tian, this gambling match cannot be refused."

"Hm? Why?" Luo Tian asked in surprise.

Chi Langyuan said, "Because the other party is from the Black Dragon Court!"

Seeing Luo Tian's blank expression, Chi Langyuan immediately explained, "The Black Dragon Court is the mortal enemy of the Nine Heavens Profound Array Assembly, and also the second-ranked array faction in the Azure Cloud Domain! For many years, they have been in constant conflict with the Nine Heavens Profound Array Assembly!"

"Both sides have an agreement: the Holy Son of the Black Dragon Court and the top-ranked member of the Nine Heavens Profound Array Assembly can hold periodic wagered duels! The winner gets to control the array path of the Azure Cloud Domain!"

"In the past, it was always the Nine Heavens Profound Array Assembly that firmly suppressed the Black Dragon Court! These guys then went into hiding, and some people have even forgotten about their existence!"

"But I didn't expect that this time, with the opening of the Chaos God City, their people have appeared again! And this Yin Shiming is the current Holy Son of the Black Dragon Court. Since you are the top-ranked member of the Nine Heavens Profound Array Assembly, his challenge to you counts as a duel between the two factions!"

"If you refuse, then according to the agreement, it counts as the Nine Heavens Profound Array Assembly losing! When that happens, their Black Dragon Court will control the array path of the Azure Cloud Domain!"

Chi Langyuan looked anxious.

Upon hearing this, Luo Tian said unhurriedly, "So they control it, so what? What can they do?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Chi Langyuan and the others were all stunned.

Meanwhile, the group from the Black Dragon Court opposite them burst into wild laughter.

"Haha, is he already chickening out?"

"This guy is the top-ranked member of the Nine Heavens Profound Array Assembly? The genius they've been bragging about? This is too pathetic, right? He doesn't even dare to compete?"

Even Yin Shiming could not help but show a look of disdain.

"Luo Tian... it seems I still overestimated you," he said, shaking his head to himself.

At this moment, Chi Langyuan suddenly thought of something and said, "Lord Luo Tian, if they take control of the array path of the Azure Cloud Domain, all of your Tai Ling Pavilion's shares in the array path will belong to their Black Dragon Court!"

Hearing this, Luo Tian, who was just about to turn and leave, suddenly stiffened.

He slowly turned his head, his face grim as he said, "What did you say?"
