Chapter 1412: Benefits Delivered to the Doorstep

As this voice rang out from the crowd, everyone's attention was immediately drawn over, and their gazes shifted away from the members of the Mermaid Clan.

The many Cultivators of the Mermaid Clan, including Mingyan, breathed a sigh of relief.

"Needless to say, it must be the team Beina is on."

Just then, another voice came through.

The person speaking was a middle-aged man with a sturdy build; the hair on his head was blue-gray and stood upright, converging from both sides toward the center to form a fin-like shape.

This person was the Clan Leader of the top-tier power, the Mad Shark Clan.

A Great Vehicle Late Stage Cultivator.

After the Mad Shark Clan Clan Leader's voice fell, a cold snort immediately rang out, "I, however, feel that Biyan'er can achieve the final victory."

Hearing this voice, everyone turned to look at the person who had spoken.

Their expressions flickered for a moment.

The person who spoke was none other than the Sea Giant Clan Great Elder.

Hearing the Sea Giant Clan Great Elder's words, the Mad Shark Clan Clan Leader raised an eyebrow, "Great Elder, it is not that my Mad Shark Clan looks down on your clan's prodigies, but rather that in the team your clan's prodigy is on, there are five who are holding them back."

"And in Beina's team, all ten members are Great Clan Prodigy level existences."

"A numerical gap of nearly half is not so easy to make up for."

The Sea Giant Clan Great Elder snorted coldly, "What use is it to have more dead weight?"

The Mad Shark Clan Clan Leader frowned, clearly somewhat displeased.

The prodigy of his Mad Shark Clan was on Beina's team.

The Sea Giant Clan Great Elder's words were clearly insulting that genius of the Mad Shark Clan as well.

He was just about to speak.

A voice suddenly cut in ahead of him, "Daoist Friend, that is where you are wrong. Your clan's prodigies are indeed extraordinary, but that does not mean the prodigies of other clans are necessarily inferior to yours."

"One must know, the world is vast and geniuses are as numerous as the vast clouds; who dares to claim they can suppress everyone?"

Hearing this voice, the Sea Giant Clan Great Elder turned his gaze and landed it on a middle-aged man in golden armor, "How about that? Does the Daoist Friend from the Golden Spear Clan have an objection?"

The Golden Spear Clan Clan Leader smiled and shook his head, "I simply do not agree with your point of view, Daoist Friend."

"You believe Beina's team can win?"

The Sea Giant Clan Great Elder said indifferently.

"Naturally."

The Golden Spear Clan Clan Leader smiled and nodded, "Beina's team has the advantage in numbers, and even their individual strength is not necessarily weaker than anyone else's."

"Furthermore, Biyan'er and the others are incredibly arrogant, actually attempting to intercept and kill all the teams."

"With such a mindset, defeat has long since become a foregone conclusion."

The Sea Giant Clan Great Elder's brow furrowed even tighter, "Since you are so certain that Biyan'er's team will be defeated, why don't we make a wager?"

"Wager what?" said the Golden Spear Clan Clan Leader.

"A Great Vehicle Stage level Magic Treasure."

The Sea Giant Clan Great Elder continued.

The Golden Spear Clan Clan Leader frowned.

It was not that he was worried about losing.

It was because the stake was too precious, and he was worried that if he won, the Sea Giant Clan would refuse to pay up.

The Sea Giant Clan had a reputation to uphold.

Such a thing was highly likely to happen.

"Daoist Jin, since the Daoist Friend from the Sea Giant Clan has such refined interests, why not make the bet? It just so happens my Mad Shark Clan would like to get involved as well."

Just then, the Mad Shark Clan Clan Leader, looking like an old punk with a mohawk, suddenly spoke up.

As the Mad Shark Clan Clan Leader spoke, the eyes of some people in the crowd lit up.

"This wager is good; my Viper Race would like to play as well."

"Count my Black Dragon Race in too."

……

In just a short moment, eight more voices rang out.

The clans represented by these eight people, plus the Mad Shark Clan and the Golden Spear Clan, made exactly ten clans.

And these ten clans corresponded exactly to the ten Great Clan Prodigies on Beina's team.

Seeing these ten people speak, many in the crowd were somewhat moved.

With the help of prodigies like Jiayue, Biyan'er's team's strength was indeed not bad.

But as the Golden Spear Clan Clan Leader said, their team had a disadvantage in numbers.

Moreover.

They were too arrogant.

They actually wanted to block the entrance to Xuan Valley and defeat all the teams.

Such arrogant behavior was enough to wipe out their slim possibility of victory.

It could be said.

Participating in the wager at this moment was almost a guaranteed win.

However……

After some serious consideration, the crowd ultimately did not speak up.

These ten clans that had stepped forward to participate in the wager all had clansmen on Beina's team.

They were using the excuse that their own clan's prodigies had been looked down upon by the Sea Giant Clan Great Elder to participate in the wager.

It is reasonable and fair.

If other clans were to join.

Then the way they go about it would look rather ugly.

It would be inevitable to incur the resentment of the Sea Giant Clan.

To provoke the Sea Giant Clan for this bit of profit is not worth the loss.

Just as everyone was weighing the pros and cons in their hearts.

The gaze of the Golden Spear Clan Clan Leader had already swept over everyone; seeing that no one else would participate, he smiled and withdrew his gaze.

Ten clans participating in this wager together is enough.

If it were only his Golden Spear Clan, they would be isolated and helpless; if they won, the Sea Giant Clan would likely refuse to honor the debt.

But now, with nine other top-tier forces helping to provide a safety net, he thinks the Sea Giant Clan should not easily renege on the debt.

After thinking this, the Golden Spear Clan Clan Leader swept his gaze over the clan leaders of the nine clans participating in the wager, including the Mad Shark Clan, and said with a smile, "If you Daoist Friends wish to participate in the wager, I, Jin, have no objections; I just don't know if the Daoist Friends of the Sea Giant Clan dare to accept."

"Why would I not dare?"

"However, I have already stated the stakes: all who join the wager must provide their own stakes."

"Do not try to wrangle after losing the wager; my Sea Giant Clan is not to be trifled with."

The Sea Giant Clan Great Elder naturally heard the provocation from the Golden Spear Clan Clan Leader, and he sneered in his heart.

This bunch of clowns!

Jiayue rarely goes all out in public, so how could they know just how strong Jiayue's strength really is?

Since that Tianyu of the Mermaid Clan was able to defeat Jiayue head-on, his combat power is even more terrifying.

Moreover, the Mermaid Princess is not to be trifled with either.

Plus the Mermaid Prince and Lie Kong.

He has absolute confidence in this lineup.

"Daoist Friend's confidence is perhaps a bit too blind."

The Golden Spear Clan Clan Leader chuckled, "If we lose, the stakes will naturally be presented."

"But I fear Daoist Friend may not have the luck to obtain them."

"I hope Daoist Friend will not renege on the debt when the time comes."

The Sea Giant Clan Great Elder gave a cold laugh, "Hmph, my Sea Giant Clan's word is as heavy as nine tripods; when have we ever reneged on anyone's debt?"

The Golden Spear Clan Clan Leader was stunned.

How could this old fellow have the face to say such a thing?

The people from the other nine clans participating in the wager also revealed expressions of astonishment.

The rest of the people present shifted their gazes, either looking at the sky or looking at their feet.

Even the other members of the Sea Giant Clan were stunned, and they lowered their heads in embarrassment.

In the area where the Mermaid Clan Cultivators were located.

After a flash of strangeness crossed Mingyan's face, she spoke indifferently, "This wager is not bad; I will also participate in one hand. I bet on Biyan'er's team to win."

She knows Lianyin's strength very well.

Lianyin once said that Jiayue's strength is not below hers; the extent of that strength can be imagined.

As for Tianyu.

His combat power is even more exaggerated; he once single-handedly killed two Dongxu Initial Stage Cultivators of the Octopus Clan who could skillfully use domain power, and he can no longer be viewed with the eyes of an Integration Stage Cultivator.

More importantly, he is insidious and treacherous, and never suffers a loss.

As for the degree of his insidiousness and shamelessness, not to mention being the first in the history of the Mermaid Clan, even among the outside clans, she has never seen anyone who could compare to him.

He is the only one she has ever seen in her life.

Never mind that Lianyin and Jiayue are there; even if Biyan'er's side only had this Tianyu, she would dare to assert that the other teams would definitely be played to death by Tianyu.

This wager is simply an opportunity to pick up benefits for free.

How could she miss out on such a benefit delivered to her mouth?
