Chapter 2358
The scene was chaotic and absurd. The once high and mighty figures were now willing to lower themselves and reveal their ugly side in order to get rid of their debts.
But the rules of the Boundless City never consider face—win and you get it, lose and you pay it back.
As the True Immortal Puppet announced the results, the betting funds of nearly 400 million Chaos Units in the Nine Springs Realm were instantly cleared on the sky, and 700 million betting funds were all transferred to the Yanlong Realm.
Even more terrifying is the odds of 35 times, which means that all the powerful beings present who bet on the Nine Springs Realm will be burdened with astronomical debts, ranging from financial ruin to paying off their debts with their own bodies.
"It's over, it's over..."
Several Immortal Kings and God Kings from the three realms wore mournful faces and expressions of despair. Some powerful beings, driven to the extreme, even let out a shrill, maniacal laugh—anger at its peak becomes a near-mad numbness.
"All cultivators who placed bets must immediately deliver Chaos Unit Treasures to the Flame Dragon Realm according to the odds!" The True Immortal Puppet's voice rang out again, carrying an unyielding authority.
Before the words were finished, countless Emperor-level array patterns suddenly appeared on the dome of the life-and-death arena, their golden light blazing and their Daoist aura solemn.
An aura emanating from an ancient emperor swept across the entire area. The powerful beings burdened with debt felt their bodies sink, a suffocating threat of death rising in their hearts—defying the emperor's rules meant certain death.
"I'm willing to deliver!"
"We dare not defy the Emperor's rules!"
"I'm willing to admit defeat!"
Splash splash splash —
Storage rings, jade bottles, and magical treasures from celestial caves surged toward the True Immortal Puppet like meteors, their brilliance dazzling, piling up like mountains—all the most treasured possessions of powerful beings.
However, after taking inventory, the True Immortal Puppet still coldly rebuked, "Not enough!"
"We are willing to swear an oath to Heaven, and we will definitely make up for it in the future, and we will never dare to break it!"
"I'm willing!"
The powerful beings were ashen-faced as they slowly raised their hands to receive the black oath paper formed from the eternal Dao of ink and wash—this was a Heavenly Dao contract. Once signed, it would be imprinted on their souls, and those who broke it would suffer a backlash from the Heavenly Dao, their bodies and souls destroyed.
Just then, a clear voice suddenly rang out, interrupting everyone's actions: "Senior, wait!"
The moment Chen Xuan spoke, all eyes were on him, filled with complex emotions, astonishment, confusion, and trepidation. No one could tell whether he was trying to humiliate Chen Xuan by interrupting, or if he had other plans.
"Victor Chen Xuan, what do you have to say?" The True Immortal Puppet slowly raised its head, its gaze falling on Chen Xuan, its tone still calm.
Chen Xuan glanced at the dejected Chi Mang beside him, then at Meng Die, the people from the Heavenly Demon Realm, and the Purple Light Holy Land who dared not meet his gaze. Finally, he turned his attention to the powerful figures who had been driven to the brink of despair and whose faces were deathly pale. A humble smile appeared on his lips as he spoke loudly:
"It was originally a friendly bet between juniors, but it has escalated to this point, which was not my intention."
Upon hearing this, the powerful figures who were about to sign the oath were all stunned, then their eyes widened in astonishment.
"Esteemed seniors present are all pillars and heroes who safeguard the civilization of cultivators. As a newcomer to Boundless City, I merely wish to exchange sparring skills with my peers, not to use this opportunity to amass wealth." Chen Xuan's voice resonated throughout the hall as he bowed respectfully to the nearly one thousand powerful figures, his demeanor composed yet neither arrogant nor servile.
"In that case, all debts incurred by retail investors will be returned, except for the original chips on the screen. As for gambling debts, they will all be wiped clean."
what--
what?
A moment of deathly silence fell over the entire room, followed by a chorus of gasps.
The cultivators at the Void Reversal Realm and Celestial Immortal Realm were already shallow in foundation, and upon hearing these words, their eyes instantly reddened, and they almost burst into tears of joy.
The True Immortals and Immortal Kings were as if they had been granted a pardon. Their gazes toward Chen Xuan instantly became incredibly ardent, even more so than when they looked at their own grandson—this level of magnanimity far surpassed that of his peers and even overwhelmed many powerful figures.
"You are the victor and also the creditor. The settlement of debts is your decision." As the True Immortal Puppet finished speaking, it raised its hand and waved. The Great Emperor's Killing Array on the dome instantly dissipated, and the black oath papers in the hands of the powerful beings turned into ink and merged into the void.
A few breaths later, a thunderous roar of cheers erupted on the life-or-death arena, and the powerful figures' expressions of gratitude were endless. Chen Xuan's name was deeply imprinted in everyone's hearts at this moment.
All of this was witnessed by the three people in the private room on the ninth floor of Lou Wai Lou.
"boom!"
Daoist Liu slammed his hand on the table, making the cups tremble slightly, and burst into laughter, his eyes filled with admiration and surprise: "Good lad, wonderful! Absolutely wonderful! Hahahaha!!"
Both An Ye and Qi Feng were stunned, still not fully understanding why June was so excited. But before they could ask, June had already raised her hand and waved, and three figures appeared out of thin air in the private room.
The two were stunningly beautiful young women, one in a blue dress and the other in a white dress, their figures slender and graceful, like twin lotus blossoms, pure and ethereal; the other was a tall young man in a white feathered divine robe, his aura refined and his demeanor transcendent.
Upon seeing June, the three immediately knelt on one knee and respectfully bowed, saying, "Disciples greet Master!"
"White Crane, take this 'Bright Moon Guiding Token'." June no longer hesitated, taking out a token that shimmered with the clear light of the moon. The token was engraved with supreme Dao patterns, its aura ancient and profound. She casually tossed it to the white-feathered youth.
"Enter the life-or-death arena and use this token to challenge the white-haired, black-clad youth, Chen Xuan."
Bai He received the invitation, his pupils contracted sharply, and he was filled with shock—this was the invitation from the Bright Moon Supreme Dojo, and only the most outstanding talents chosen by the Supreme Dojo were qualified to receive it.
He dared not ask any more questions, stood up and nodded, his eyes instantly becoming sharp as he looked in Chen Xuan's direction, and said in a deep voice, "Yes, Master!"
“Remember, when facing him, go all out and don’t hold back.” June pondered for a moment and added, “If he can withstand three of your moves, he will be qualified to accept this token and enter my Bright Moon Supreme Dojo.”
"Your disciple will remember your teachings!"
"Go!" June waved her hand. The white crane moved, transforming into a white crane phantom, flapping its wings and soaring into the sky, rushing towards the arena of life and death.
"Qinglian, Bailian, watch the battle carefully, paying particular attention to the young man's swordsmanship and his control that far surpasses others of his level." June looked at the two girls, her tone calm but full of expectation, "This person may become your senior uncle. His path of swordsmanship is worth your in-depth study."
"Yes, Master." Qinglian and Bailian nodded in response, their curious gazes fixed on Chen Xuan on the battlefield—what was so extraordinary about this person that his Master valued him so much, even making an exception to issue a summons order and having Senior Brother Baihe personally test his strength?

The sky has fallen, everyone! This is a huge problem, an absolute disaster! I don't even know how to put it... Sigh... I'm asking you all, whether you're married or single, are there any guys here whose surnames have 7, 9, 15, or 17 strokes, and who were born in the years of the Rooster, Snake, or Rat? Please, if you are, leave a message for Bailong. I'm desperate!
