Caishen Hall, fifth floor.
Jiang Fengqing already felt that she was falling into a huge situation.
The seventh-grade ancient demon unexpectedly awakened, the mysterious owner of the God of Wealth Hall, the fifth-floor bones piled all over the floor...
"I want you to take a gamble. What do you think?"
Lin Tianyou's sudden words interrupted Jiang Fengqing's thoughts. When she looked up, she found Lin Tianyou looking at the ancient demon beside her.
Gu Yao and Lin Tianyou looked at each other, then suddenly laughed, "You want me to gamble? I'm Gu Yao!"
"Didn't you say that the demon clan after the seventh-level transformation is no different from humans?"
"Okay, what's the bet? Where is the bet?" Gu Yao asked with a smile.
"I want to know where this gambling game is. I wonder if Boss Lin can let me join in and bet?" Jiang Fengqing also said at this time.
Lin Tianyou looked at Jiang Fengqing with a smile and said, "Actually, the eldest prince has been in this gambling game from the beginning. There is no need to follow me into the game. Do you know why I want to invite you here?"
After Jiang Fengqing thought for a moment, she shook her head and said, "I really don't know. Please let Boss Lin make it clear."
Lin Tianyou said loudly, "Everyone is ambitious, let alone gamblers. Once a gambler sees a gambling game that he can join, he will definitely find a way to join it. To put it bluntly, I want to bet on the eldest prince. I bet you can ascend the throne and achieve supreme status, so that I can follow you and win power and wealth."
Jiang Fengqing had already taken off her straw hat at this time, revealing a face full of vicissitudes of life.
The ancient demon's face looked very unnatural at this time. It never expected that the person who had been following him was actually a human prince, and he might even become the prince of the human emperor.
As for An Zicheng, his whole body was tense at this time, and he was almost unable to restrain the internal force that was constantly surging in his body.
He never thought that their identities would be exposed long ago. The straw hats they wore all the way and the way they concealed their faces were simply a joke.
"General An, don't worry. You have been escorted by people I sent all the way. Your whereabouts have not been discovered by others." Lin Tianyou smiled and looked at An Zicheng, a pair of deep eyes that seemed to be able to see through An Zicheng. All thoughts.
An Zicheng turned away and avoided Lin Tianyou's sight. He couldn't help but feel a deep fear of Lin Tianyou in his heart. The intuition he had honed over many years on the battlefield told him that the gentle and elegant casino owner in front of him was definitely not simple, regardless of his unfathomable strength. , or the weird and terrifying aura made An Zicheng not want to be his opponent at all.
At this time, the ancient demon on the side suddenly said, "Do you want me, the ancient demon, to follow the eldest prince of the human race?"
What Gu Yao said immediately shocked An Zicheng, yes, how could the prince of the human race have followers from the demon race following him? You must know that most ordinary people still have great resistance to monsters, even though monsters are extremely rare in the world today.
Moreover, even if the Buddhist monks used Buddhist teachings to save some of the monsters who followed them, they also placed countless seals on these monsters.
Non-my family, its heart must be different.
If outsiders knew that the current eldest prince had ascended to the throne with the help of the demon clan, it would surely cause unrest among the people of the world and make the throne unstable.
After all, the human race and the demon race have been fighting for many years, and they have only been stable for a long time. Now they have brought the remnants of the demon race to the surface. Isn't this just looking for trouble?
Just when An Zicheng was about to retort, Lin Tianyou said before him, "I do have this intention. What do you think?"
The ancient demon did not answer him directly, but looked at Jiang Fengqing with a pair of doubtful eyes, "Don't you have any comments?"
The ancient demon knew very well that although he could regain his seventh-level strength as long as he took care of himself, if his status as a demon clan was revealed to the public, the prince's reputation would fall to the bottom and he would lose the support of the people. It was undoubtedly a fatal blow to his path to becoming emperor.
It originally thought that Jiang Fengqing would reject its entry out loud, so that it could naturally get out of this bet. After all, letting it assist a human race would be more or less a bit grudge.
But what it didn't expect was that Jiang Fengqing actually nodded to Lin Tianyou and said, "I have no objection. Now is the time to hire people. I believe Boss Lin will not disappoint me. I hope we can have a happy cooperation."
Lin Tianyou was obviously a little surprised by Jiang Fengqing's ready agreement, but after a brief moment of surprise, he showed a meaningful smile to the ancient demon.
"Then it's settled?" The corners of Lin Tianyou's mouth raised slightly, with a faint hint of danger in his words.
Gu Yao said in a deep voice, "Then what if the bet loses? What if the bet wins?"
Lin Tianyou chuckled and said, "If you lose the bet, you will lose your life. If you win the bet, you will also lose your life."
Both of them trembled when they heard the words, obviously shocked by Lin Tianyou's cold and murderous words.
The meaning of Lin Tianyou's words was very clear. If the ancient demon helped Jiang Fengqing win the throne, then the bird would be a good man. In order to preserve Jiang Fengqing's reputation and stabilize the throne, the ancient demon had no choice but to die. If the ancient demon failed to help Jiang Fengqing win the throne, it would surely die on the way.
For the ancient demon, there is no difference in the ending, except that the speed and method of death may be different.
The ancient demon was silent for a long time, and then slowly said, "Tell me, what... reason should I find to agree to your suggestion?"
Lin Tianyou said with a smile, "Just tell yourself, if you don't agree now, you will die now. If you agree now, you can die later..."
"Death... is just another way of sinking in the darkness." The ancient demon looked melancholy, looking up at the small world above his head.
"I believe that for things that have sunk in the darkness for too long, any ray of light they see will be regarded as their own salvation. Just like a moth flying into a flame, even if it is shattered to pieces, it must be saved from sinking."
"Do you think this reason can keep me?"
"You can give it a try..." Lin Tianyou held his left hand empty. The next moment, all the bones under the ancient demon's body actually condensed into a huge palm. He held it in the palm of his hand and locked the ancient demon tightly with his five huge fingers. in it.
Jiang Fengqing and An Zicheng were both shocked. They never expected that the bones on the ground could actually obey Lin Tianyou's wishes and restrain the enemy.
When the ancient demon saw this, his brows suddenly furrowed, "The aura above this..."
It can clearly feel that there is a pure demonic aura on the white-bone palm that is faintly suppressing it, making the demonic power running in its body always have a sense of sluggishness.
Lin Tianyou explained, "Yes, this is the aura of the demon clan that wanted to take away my body before, but its rank seems to be higher than yours, and it is a peak seventh-level demon clan. After it entered my body After that, I tore its body into pieces directly in front of it, stewed its flesh and blood into a bowl of soup and drank it. The taste... was completely incomparable to the delicacies I had eaten in the past.
However, it did not fall behind. After seizing the initiative, it controlled my body to massacre the human race outside, tearing their bodies apart and devouring their flesh and blood. I guess the eldest prince still remembers the murderous case in Chang'an! "
After Jiang Fengqing thought for a moment, her eyes froze, and then she nodded. He remembered the shocking case in Chang'an. Hundreds of people died in Chang'an City overnight. Every dead person had no body, only rivers of blood on the ground.
The reason why he still has an impression of this case is because this case lasted for ten days, and people in Chang'an City were panicked. Moreover, Emperor Jiang happened to go out to travel around the world with Master Kuhai, and the court hall was full of people. The old prime minister is taking care of it alone.
Therefore, after the previous Minister of Dali Temple pursued the case for five consecutive days without success, and instead his corruption and bribery were reported and exposed, the old prime minister appointed He Shengbai to act as Minister of Dali Temple and asked him to crack the case within ten days. This major case stabilized the hearts and minds of the people in Chang'an.
In the end, He Shengbai did not find the murderer of this major case, and the continuous murders ended on the ninth day. No one knows the true identity of this terrifying murderer who can come and go freely in Chang'an City. It's just that during this period, the gamblers of the God of Cai Hall always felt that the smoky God of Cai Hall smelled of blood.
"Were you responsible for that case?" An Zicheng was shocked. He had also heard of this case. At that time, the city was in turmoil. People in Chang'an did not dare to go out when it got dark, and some wealthy people moved out directly. In Chang'an, the entire Yan Guard Regiment went into battle to guard Chang'an's security.
But these are of no use. No matter day or night, people are missing and dying all over Chang'an.
"Don't look at me with that look. That case was caused by the ancient demon who wanted to seize my body. I had already lost control of my body at that time, and it was also killed directly. I am innocent now. "Yes." Lin Tianyou said slowly, and the hand bones on the side turned into a prison, locking the ancient demon tightly in it.
The ancient demon waved its claws wildly and hit the hand bones, but except for leaving some white marks on them, the hand bones were not shaken at all.
After taking a deep look at Lin Tianyou, Gu Yao said, "I ask a question. If you are willing to answer, I will agree to your request."
"First of all, this is not a request, but a gamble; secondly, you are not qualified to ask me questions; finally, I will give you ten more seconds. After ten seconds, if you cannot give me the answer I want, you will die. It's ugly." Lin Tianyou's cold voice made even An Zicheng feel his scalp numb when he heard it.
In his eyes, this Lin Tianyou was simply a cold-blooded monster.
After listening to Lin Tianyou's words, the ancient demon said directly, "Did the ancient demon succeed in seizing the body?"
