Chapter 707: We Humbly Summon Saint Tongtian as Judge

"Good! We also agree to have Saint Tongtian serve as the judge, and we further request that the agreed stakes be entrusted to Saint Tongtian for safekeeping."

As the judge of the wager, Saint Jieyin had no objection to Saint Tongtian.

What he cared more about was how to handle the stakes.

Especially the ninth-rank World-Annihilating Black Lotus in Luo Fu's possession.

They understood Saint Tongtian well—if he made a promise, Saint Tongtian would surely accept defeat.

Luo Fu was different; they knew nothing of Luo Fu.

If Luo Fu lost and chose to refuse to pay up.

Even as a saint, Saint Jieyin and Saint Zhunti could do nothing against a forceful one.

With Luo Fu's strength, even a full-power strike from a saint would find it hard to subdue him.

If Luo Fu refused to hand over the ninth-rank World-Annihilating Black Lotus, Saint Jieyin and Saint Zhunti could not seize it from him without subduing Luo Fu.

"Good! I agree."

Luo Fu had no objection to handing over the ninth-rank World-Annihilating Black Lotus in advance—he truly did not value it at all.

He had acquired the twelfth-rank World-Annihilating Black Lotus merely to convince Buddhism to agree to the wager.

Seeing Luo Fu agree to place the ninth-rank World-Annihilating Black Lotus under Saint Tongtian's custody, the grim faces of Saint Jieyin and Saint Zhunti finally showed a faint smile.

This wager was extremely favorable to Buddhism; Saint Jieyin and Saint Zhunti had a 99% certainty of winning.

Since Luo Fu agreed to hand the ninth-rank World-Annihilating Black Lotus to Saint Tongtian, it meant the ninth-rank World-Annihilating Black Lotus would soon fall into their hands.

With the ninth-rank World-Annihilating Black Lotus, half their heartache would vanish—how could Saint Jieyin and Saint Zhunti not rejoice?

After establishing the basic conditions, Luo Fu, Saint Jieyin, and Saint Zhunti further negotiated and confirmed several minor details.

The entire negotiation process saw Saint Jieyin and Saint Zhuntin shamelessly pushing for even more favorable terms for Buddhism, while Luo Fu casually agreed to several conditions beneficial to Buddhism.

He did not propose any other conditions advantageous to himself.

Had they not known Luo Fu's true nature, they might have thought he was deliberately giving the ninth-rank World-Annihilating Black Lotus to Buddhism.

After finalizing all details, Luo Fu, Saint Jieyin, and Saint Zhunti sealed all conditions into a jade slip.

Having done this, the three began to respectfully summon Saint Tongtian.

"We respectfully summon Elder Brother Tongtian—please, Elder Brother Tongtian, serve as our judge."

Saint Jieyin raised the jade slip above his head and spoke with reverence toward the Eight Diagrams Palace.

Saint Jieyin held great respect for Saint Tongtian.

For Saint Tongtian was the strongest and most inscrutable among the Six Saints.
