Chapter 1011: Rescuing the Female Slave

Everyone who heard this slapped their thighs in regret for not betting earlier.

Anyone who doesn't want to make money!

The steward behind Ye Liuyun happily took the spirit stones, repeatedly thanking Ye Liuyun.

He knew Ye Liuyun gave him this reward because, in the recent matter, Ye Liuyun had not shown favoritism.

Even the steward now felt that, compared to Ye Liuyun, Cheng Gongzi's character was far inferior.

Twenty thousand high-grade spirit stones would take him at least a month to save.

As the saying goes, taking someone's wealth to relieve their calamity; the steward immediately sent a voice transmission to Ye Liuyun.

"That Cheng Gongzi is called Cheng Hao, a son of a local wealthy merchant. He is said to be a branch of the powerful Cheng Clan."

"Thank you!"

Ye Liuyun replied with a voice transmission, the corner of his mouth slightly lifting.

"Isn't this just getting that guy's background information!"

But he immediately thought: "A powerful force? The Cheng Clan?"

Ye Liuyun didn't care much about powerful forces; if anyone dared to provoke him, no matter how great the force, he would dare to act.

He was, however, concerned whether this Cheng Clan was the one that had a feud with the Feng Clan.

"Why aren't you betting?"

As the final bets grew larger and larger, Xia Tianqiong instead found it exciting.

She still wanted to make a small profit from this!

But Ye Liuyun suddenly stopped betting.

Ye Liuyun then sent her a voice transmission explaining: "Everyone is now following our bets. If I bet again, the casino's losses will be large, and later they might come after us."

"Moreover, if we win too much, after we leave we will also attract attention."

"Oh, that's fine!" Upon hearing this, Xia Tianqiong also didn't want trouble, and obediently gathered up all the spirit stones.

Ye Liuyun and Xia Tianqiong then quietly watched a few more matches, without placing any further bets.

This left those who had hoped to profit by following Ye Liuyun utterly disappointed.

Next up was the segment where ferocious beasts fought humans.

At the very start of the first match, the arena, to draw a crowd, sent out a slave and a ferocious beast to fight.

That ferocious beast was a black wolf at the Sixfold Creation level, while the slave was merely a woman at the Zao Hua Third Realm.

The slave woman wore tattered clothes that barely covered her, emaciated to skin and bone. Her hair hung loose, a slave brand was burned onto her forehead, and she carried a plain black battle sword on her back.

Her expression clearly showed great fear; seeing the crowds around the arena, she felt terrified.

When she saw the Sixfold Creation black wolf, her fear intensified, her whole body trembling.

The atmosphere in the arena instantly heated up.

Most people bet that the woman would be eaten by the black wolf.

"Bite her to death! Bite her to death!"

Some gamblers immediately placed their bets, then began to shout.

Under the surrounding shouts, the woman appeared even more terrified and helpless.

Seeing this, Xia Tianqiong also felt compassion.

"After all, it's a human life. This beast arena is too cruel, isn't it?"

Ye Liuyun then repeatedly examined the woman with his Golden Pupil, and asked the steward behind him: "I want to buy this female slave; is there a way?"

Xia Tianqiong was startled upon hearing this.

"Do you pity her, or do you intend to do something?"

She worried that Ye Liuyun wanted to take a slave as a maid.

The steward, too, stared in surprise at Ye Liuyun, paused for a moment, then replied: "With your cultivation, you can save her. As long as you defeat that black wolf, the female slave will be yours!"

"Otherwise, you'd have to wait until the fight ends; if the female slave survives, you can buy her."

"I can't wait—I want to save her now!" Ye Liuyun jumped up anxiously, not even bothering to answer Xia Tianqiong's question.

In the arena, the black wolf had already been driven onto the platform. The female slave, clearly unwilling to go up, was being whipped onto the stage by several steward disciples.

"Then come with me!" saying that, the steward leapt down from the stands and flew toward the platform.

Ye Liuyun likewise jumped out and followed the steward.

Their actions caused an uproar among the surrounding spectators.

By then, the woman had already been driven onto the platform. She cowered in a corner, drew her battle sword, and tremblingly defended herself against the black wolf before her.

The black wolf, looking at her, drooled and growled low, figuring out how to drive the female slave out of the corner.

"Help me think of a way to stop the match!" Seeing this, Ye Liuyun immediately sent a voice transmission to the steward.

"Hold on, pause the match!"

After taking Ye Liuyun's money, the steward carried out his duties diligently, immediately shouting it out.

This sudden change drew everyone's attention.

The steward disciples surrounding the platform cared nothing for the woman's life; they all looked toward Ye Liuyun, paying no heed to the fight on the stage.

Seeing that the black wolf was about to launch an attack.

The woman, tense, only knew to raise her sword against the black wolf, not daring to attack.

Ye Liuyun immediately drew the Vajra Divine Bow and shot an arrow, forcing the black wolf that had just leapt up to twist in midair to dodge.

"You go explain things; I'll go up onto the platform first."

After sending a voice transmission to the steward, Ye Liuyun rushed straight to the platform and stood between the black wolf and the woman.

Ye Liuyun's arrow just now could threaten even an early-stage Venerable expert, so the black wolf's fur stood on end all over.

But after he saw Ye Liuyun's realm, he again began to drool greedily.

However, Ye Liuyun held the Vajra Divine Bow aimed at it, so it dared not move recklessly.

At that moment, the attendant also explained the situation to the Steward Elder in charge of the arena.

"Fine! Then let him fight that black wolf, but he may not use treasures! If he wins, the female slave is his; if he loses, he bears the consequences of life and death!"

"This…… not letting him use treasures…… but he is our honored guest!" The attendant also worried that Ye Liuyun might die on the arena. "He didn't know beforehand that treasures weren't allowed!"

The Steward Elder, however, straightened his face: "The rules weren't set by me! Go confirm with him; if he doesn't dare, then hurry down! I won't pursue his responsibility!"

"Yes!"

That disciple answered, walked toward the arena, had a few other stewards first control the black wolf, then explained the rules to Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun, however, readily agreed.

"I agree. No treasures, I'll fight this black wolf!"

Saying that, he put away the Vajra Divine Bow, turned, and walked toward the female slave.

"I've come to save you. May I borrow your sword for a moment?"

The female slave had just felt the death threat from the black wolf, knowing that Ye Liuyun had shot an arrow to save him.

Now seeing that Ye Liuyun's cultivation level was lower than hers, and that he would fight the black wolf without treasures, she seemed somewhat doubtful of him.

But she felt grateful that Ye Liuyun had come to save her.
