Qing Feng raised his eyebrows, eyes alight, and bowed to Wu Tie: "Ah yo, still the Martial King's mouth—truly golden words, jade-like speech, speech that becomes law; indeed a perfect ten. Alright, all the bets are yours."
Qing Feng's hands and feet were extremely nimble.
Nine Heavens Living Soil, True Buddha's relics, Holy Sword fragments, plus the added bets—three volumes of the Supreme Dao Canon of Qinglian Observatory and Xi Yaoyu's three supreme divine artifacts—all items were swept up by Qing Feng's both hands, leaving trails of afterimages, grabbed in one go, and then swiftly shoved into Wu Tie.
"All right, Martial King, you've won, these treasures are yours." Qing Feng smiled until his eyes narrowed into slits, hurriedly urging Wu Tie: "Remember, remember, keep them safe, don't let anyone take them… hehe, of course, with the True Oath Sage's likeness as witness, we need not fear them acting now."
Fan Kun, Bai Lu, and Xi Yaoyu all stared at Wu Tie with bloodshot eyes.
Wu Tie was even more nimble than Qing Feng, directly storing all the spoils into his Five Elements Space.
Figures flickered around him—Canghai Daoist, Five Elements Daoist, Yin-Yang Daoist—appearing simultaneously beside Wu Tie, who chuckled and handed the Nine Heavens Living Soil to the Five Elements Daoist, then nodded at Fan Kun and the others: "I accept, I accept… ah, you all have crossed the sea from the Extreme East Divine Province, traveling far to present treasures to this king… I feel ashamed, ashamed!"
Wu Tie smiled until his eyes narrowed into slits.
Meanwhile, Fan Kun, Bai Lu, and Xi Yaoyu's bodies simultaneously shivered.
