Chapter 554: Life and Death Bet

When it comes to overall combat power, there is no doubt that Chiyue's side has the absolute advantage.

In addition to Chi Yue, who is at the top of the combat power list, there are also several lords who are in the top 100 of the combat power list. It can be said that they are all famous figures in the entire war zone.

As for Cang Kewu, it can be said that apart from himself, there are basically some small lords who are not listed on the list.

Otherwise, they wouldn't need to fawn over Cang Kewu like this just to get a copy of the drawings of the City God's Temple.

Because this is their only chance to change their fate.

In fact, many lords with average talents and no support from family resources have made rapid progress in strength after building the City God Temple.

Therefore, a City God's Temple has become the only hope for many lords to change their destiny.

And although Cang Kewu is not as capable as Chi Yue, but relying on the prestige of the Cang family, he is still worthy of Chi Yue.

What's more, now that we are in a city-state, it is absolutely forbidden to attack anyone. Otherwise, if you are on the blacklist, you may not be able to enter any city-state within the demon clan in the future.

That's why Cang Kewu had the confidence to dare to fight back against Chi Yue.

Probably because they didn't expect Cang Kewu to be so stubborn, Chiyue and the others looked a little ugly.

Facing the arrogant Cang Kewu, if it were before, they might have taken action directly.

But it won't work now...

They are still in the weak stage and have not recovered.

At this time, not only is the strength greatly reduced, but also after being killed, the person will truly die and cannot be resurrected.

There is no need to risk putting yourself in a dangerous situation just for this matter.

Cang Kewu was probably so arrogant because he was convinced that they would not dare to take action.

However, not using your hands doesn’t mean you don’t keep your mouth shut.

Chi Yue snorted coldly and said, "It's really a pity that you didn't sign up to enter the ruins of the Royal Court. After all, the 'Loser Mark' after the failed hidden mission really suits you!"

Cang Kewu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

Unexpectedly, Chiyue would know about this, because when Lin Ye first asked people to sign up, he had warned about the punishment if he failed.

It was because he looked too carefully that he didn't register his name.

So Cang Kewu still remembers that among the punishments for failure, the most severe one is a permanent "loser mark", which is not only ugly, but also has equipment restrictions.

Naturally, it was impossible for Chi Yue to see the recruitment information from Lin Ye. The only explanation was that Chi Yue knew the information about the 'Ruins of the Royal Court' from other channels.

"Just watch! There is no way to complete this mission. The Heavenly Demon Pavilion has provided the information about this secret realm. You only need to go and take a look, and you will know everything." Chi Yue sneered.

The ruins of the royal court in the normal mode are not bad. As long as you have enough hard power, you can directly pass the level.

But what Linye has turned on now is the hidden mode!

In this mode, you need to bring a hundred pig teammates into the secret realm. If too many of your pig teammates die, your mission will fail.

The strange thing is that no matter what actions you take, you can't stop these pig teammates from killing each other in the end, or they may challenge monsters whose strength does not match them and be killed.

Even the commander who starts the mission will have a significantly higher chance of making a mistake.

Leading to direct failure of the task.

It can be said that over the years, many powerful lords of the Demon Clan have tried various methods to pass this mission, but they have all failed without exception.

It is not difficult to imagine that in addition to the demons, upper-level clans such as the Celestials, Styx, and Spirits must have also tried various methods.

However, there is no way to pass the level...

Under normal circumstances, unless a way to open the hidden mode of a secret realm is found, basically all races will rush in. Even if it is an exhaustive method, there will always be one or two people who can catch the dead mouse by chance and complete the task.

The Royal Court Ruins is a special case. The way to turn on the hidden mode has been found long ago, but no one has been able to clear it so far.

It is clear that this task cannot be solved by humans at all.

Hearing Chi Yue's words, Cang Kewu just rolled his eyes and smiled disdainfully.

"How about making a bet, and the loser will destroy the heart of his highest-ranking lord?" Cang Kewu suddenly said.

This bet immediately made all the surrounding lords take a breath.

Destroying one's highest level leader is equivalent to clearing one's level to zero!

This kind of bet is simply asking a lord to give up his career as a lord. It can be said that besides death, there is no other biggest bet.

After Chiyue heard the bet proposed by Cang Kewu, she was stunned, and her head suddenly became short-circuited.

To be honest, he would definitely not be willing to take this kind of bet.

You shouldn't bet on something as important as your heart, no matter what you think...

But now, whether he agrees or not, he will lose face.

After all, he was the one who said categorically just now that Lin Ye would definitely fail, otherwise Cang Kewu would not have made the bet.

As a result, he himself didn't dare to accept the bet. Wasn't it his own face that he was losing face?

"What? You came here to flirt with me first, but now you don't dare to accept the bet? Are you so shameless?" Cang Kewu looked at Chi Yue with disdain.

Several followers around him immediately began to snicker in cooperation.

Chiyue's face turned red and white, and he felt that everyone in the tavern was pointing fingers at him.

As his blood boiled, he gritted his teeth and said angrily: "Let's bet! Anyway, Lin Ye can't pass this hidden mode!"

Although the bet was a bit outrageous, according to the intelligence, this task was indeed impossible to complete, so Chiyue agreed to accept Cang Kewu's bet in a moment of anger.

Hearing this, the onlookers looked at each other in surprise...

I didn't expect Chiyue to actually accept this bet!

Even Cang Kewu was a little surprised.

Obviously, he didn't think Chiyue would accept such an outrageous bet at the beginning. He proposed such a big bet just to make Chiyue lose face.

But he didn't expect that this guy would actually dare to accept it!

But Cang Kewu also got angry, slammed the table and stood up, shouting: "Then just swear a heart-to-heart oath, under the witness of the will of the abyss, the loser's heart will be broken!"

"Swear it!"

Chi Yue actually didn't have the same temper as Cang Kewu, but at this moment, he was in a dilemma and didn't want to admit defeat, so he could only agree.

In the tavern, two demons swore a poisonous oath under the gaze of their own race, with the abyss as a witness.

What they were betting on was whether a human could successfully pass a secret realm...
