Lu Yun immediately turned his gaze to Lu Wen on the side.
Lu Wen didn’t play tricks and directly explained to Lu Yun:
“According to mother’s words, this is to let those eighteen groups of people undergo one more test before entering the Burial Immortal Ruins.”
“And this test is precisely the terrifying astral wind on the Cloud-Picking Summit.”
As he said this, another gust of howling wind came out from the phantom of Zhenlongping.
After the wind stopped, Lu Wen continued to explain:
“The astral wind on the Cloud-Picking Summit is formed by the gathering of innate astral qi above ten thousand feet in the sky. Ordinary people standing in it will probably be blown to pieces.”
After listening to Lu Wen’s explanation, Chu Xiaoxiao also nodded and said:
“What Wen said is right. The astral wind on the Cloud-Picking Summit is the last test for those eighteen teams and the Jiuyuan Demonic Cultivators before the start of this Dragon-Slaying Conference.”
Lu Yun nodded, and then said worriedly:
“Little Martial Uncle Taiping and the others should be fine, right?”
At this time, Chu Xiaoxiao, who had already sat down at the table, after hearing Lu Yun’s words, immediately smiled and waved her hand and said:
“If Big Brother Taiping has a problem, I’m afraid that before the human race cultivators enter the field, they will have been wiped out.”
After hearing what Chu Xiaoxiao said, Lu Yun and his sister immediately felt relieved.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!!!!……
At this time, another gust of howling wind came out from the phantom of Zhenlongping.
Immediately, the three of them saw that on the eighteen teams of people on the Cloud-Picking Platform, the magical power lit up one after another.
After a while, except for the five great families of Chenglongtian and Jiuyuan, the magical power lit up on all the cultivators of all the other teams.
For a while, the attention of Lu Yun and his sister was suddenly attracted.
Even Chu Xiaoxiao, who was originally lying on the chair, eating snacks somewhat boredly, now put down the snacks in her hand, sat up straight, and stared at the huge shadow on the Zhenlongping without blinking.
“Boom! ……”
Finally, after a while, on the Cloud-Picking Platform, except for the two teams of the Dongfang family and Jiuyuan, the magical power also lit up on the other teams.
That is to say, except for these two teams, all the cultivators of all the other teams are using magical power to deal with the astral wind on the top of the Cloud-Picking Platform.
Thinking of this, Lu Wen suddenly felt a little scalp-numbing and couldn’t help reaching out and scratching his head and said:
“There are actually people who can fight against the innate astral qi with their physical bodies…”
Lu Yun was fortunate enough to say:
“Fortunately, there are Taiping-gege and the others on our side of the human race cultivators. Otherwise, this time, Jiuyuan will definitely humiliate us again.”
Just as the two were speaking, accompanied by another gust of howling wind, it could be seen that on the Cloud-Picking Peak, except for Xu Taiping and the Wuxin Demon Emperor, the mana lights on the bodies of almost all the other cultivators lit up.
Seeing this, Chu Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but clench her fists and said:
“Brother Taiping, don’t lose to that Jiuyuan monster!”
Lu Yun and his sister also had nervous expressions on their faces, worried that Xu Taiping would be forced by the strong wind to exert magic before the Wuxin Demon Emperor.
And as the three of them nervously stared at the illusion below the voice of the Wuxin Demon Emperor suddenly came out from the shadow below:
“Xu Taiping, why don’t we see whose physique is better, your Great Sage physique or my Demon God physique.”
Hearing this, Lu Yun and his sister looked at each other in dismay.
Chu Xiaoxiao then frowned and said:
“Isn’t this Wuxin Demon Emperor deliberately using the method of provoking to force Brother Taiping to compete with him in physique in this strong wind?”
Lu Wen then said with a worried expression:
“Little Martial Uncle Taiping, you must never fall for the trick of the Wuxin Demon Emperor.”
Lu Yun nodded and said:
“If you suffer serious injuries before entering the Immortal Burial Ruins, after entering the Immortal Burial Ruins, you will definitely lose the initiative in the competition with Jiuyuan.”
But what puzzled the two was that not only did Xu Taiping accept the proposal of the Heartless Demon Emperor, but also betted with the Heartless Demon Emperor with the reward for ranking top three on the list as a wager.
However, when the two siblings were worried, Chu Xiaoxiao beside them had shining eyes and said excitedly:
“One is the number one cultivator of the human race, and the other is a notorious Demon Emperor of Jiuyuan. The bet between the two… there will definitely be people betting!”
Immediately, she quickly took out the spiritual mirror and drew an extremely strange rune on the surface of the spiritual mirror with her own spiritual power.
Then, a gambling table and the scene of the Terrace of Picking Clouds at this moment appeared in the spiritual mirror.
And on one side of the picture, cultivators kept shouting and betting.
“As expected!”
Chu Xiaoxiao, who was full of excitement, punched the air vigorously.
Seeing this, Lu Yun and her younger brother beside her immediately frowned in unison.
The elder sister Lu Yun even persuaded Chu Xiaoxiao:
“Princess Xiaoxiao, His Highness Tiancheng specifically told us before that you must not gamble anymore.”
Chu Xiaoxiao waved her hand without raising her head and said:
“Sister Yun, I’m only betting this last time!”
Lu Yun had known Chu Xiaoxiao for more than a day, and immediately reached out to snatch her spiritual mirror.
However, Chu Xiaoxiao was quick-eyed and had already picked up the spiritual mirror and held it in her arms before Lu Yun reached out.
Lu Yun still wanted to persuade Chu Xiaoxiao again, but before she could speak, she saw that Chu Xiaoxiao had already poured all the gold essence coins on her into the spiritual mirror.
Seeing this, Lu Yun immediately asked nervously:
Xiao Xiao County Master, how much did you just bet?
Lu Yun said excitedly:
All!
Lu Wen wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and asked again:
Xiao Xiao County Master, how much exactly is all of yours?
Chu Xiaoxiao spread out five fingers and shook them in front of the two siblings without raising her head and said:
Five hundred thousand gold essence coins.
After hearing this amount, the faces of Lu Yun and her younger brother suddenly turned pale.
Then I heard Lu Wen sigh and say:
Xiao Xiao County Master, you’d better think about how to explain to His Highness Tiancheng later.
The two siblings could imagine the angry expression on Princess Tiancheng’s face when she heard that Chu Xiaoxiao had bet all her family property in one go.
However, Chu Xiaoxiao shook her head with a smile and said:
No need!
Then she raised her head, revealing her bright and sweet face, and said with full confidence:
”This time I’m sure to win!”
Lu Yun said helplessly:
”Didn’t you say that every time, County Princess Xiaoxiao?”
Chu Xiaoxiao shook her head seriously at Lu Yun and said:
”Sister Yun, this time is different from before!”
Lu Yun asked in great confusion:
”What’s different?”
Chu Xiaoxiao put down the spiritual mirror in her hand, then looked at the huge phantom on Zhenlongping with burning eyes and finally fixed her gaze on Xu Taiping on Zhaiyun Terrace in the virtual screen, and then said extremely confidently:
”This time I bet all my wealth on Big Brother Taiping to win!”
The Lu Yun siblings were stunned for a moment and didn’t know how to refute for a while.
And Chu Xiaoxiao was still very excited and said:
”You don’t know, Sister Yun, in all the gambling games where I bet on Big Brother Taiping to win over the years, there has never been a loss.”
”This time will definitely be no exception!”
When she said this, she suddenly looked at the Lu Yun siblings with a fanatical expression and said:
”If you two trust me, you can give me the gold essence money on your body to place a bet. After winning, we’ll split the profits thirty-seven!”
The Lu Yun siblings shook their heads in unison when they heard this and said:
”No need!”
And just as the three were talking, in the huge shadow below on Zhenlongping suddenly a “rumbling” sound of a violent wind whistling came out.
Even Lu Yun and the other two could sense that the upcoming gust of wind was far more violent than the previous ones.
Chu Xiaoxiao immediately rushed to the window and said excitedly with her eyes full of excitement:
“After this gust of wind, the outcome will be decided!”
