Now, the Grand Preceptor is telling him that this person was none other than the Grand Preceptor himself.
Did you intentionally say that I was at the Core Formation Stage,” Cao Zhen suddenly realized and exclaimed, “luring you to calculate that my odds would rise, and then you placed a bet on me!”
The Grand Preceptor didn’t answer Cao Zhen’s question but instead countered, “At that time, were you not at the Core Formation Stage?”
“I indeed was at the Core Formation Stage, but the problem is…” Cao Zhen looked at the Grand Preceptor with disapproval and called out, “What you did was somewhat dishonorable.
If you used me to make money, you should have communicated with me in advance.
This selfish habit of yours is not good.”
He was truly furious!
He had bet a hundred thousand Spirit Crystals and forty million Spirit Stones.
The final odds were triple.
Minus the handling fee deducted by the gambling house.
In the end, he only got about four hundred and ten thousand Spirit Crystals in his hands.
If he had waited for the Grand Preceptor to finish speaking before betting, how much could he have earned!
“I originally had no intention to place a bet,” the Grand Preceptor said as he lightly poured some tea into his cup, finally addressing Cao Zhen’s initial question.
“However, later on, when the odds changed, then I placed my bet.”
“As for why I placed a bet, it was naturally for the sake of this dynasty.
If, after I woke up, the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty no longer existed, I would need a large amount of money to establish a new Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty!”
“Furthermore, the reason I have asked you to come here is to entrust you with a matter.”
As he spoke, the Grand Preceptor raised his hand, took out a Jade Talisman, and handed it to Cao Zhen.
Grand Preceptor, hadn’t you already given me the State Preceptor’s Jade Talisman before?
Why are you giving me another Jade Talisman…
Cao Zhen took the Jade Talisman and was momentarily stunned.
This Jade Talisman was emanating a dense Spiritual Energy; clearly, it was not an ordinary talisman but a Treasure.
“This is the Jade Talisman of the Governor of Ghost Province.
You must have noticed that this is a Treasure.
Its might can only be said to be average.
However, it is the key to a secret place.
The current Governor of Ghost Province is not the true governor but an acting governor.
Beneath the governor’s mansion, I have set up a Formation.
Inside the Formation, a person is being suppressed.
After I fall into slumber, you must keep an eye on that Array and ensure that person doesn’t escape.
If that person tries to flee, the Jade Talisman will warn you; at that time, you need to go and completely annihilate the opponent!”
Cao Zhen was rendered speechless.
Why did the Grand Preceptor have such a penchant for imprisoning people?
It was the same with the Immortal Warrior in the past.
Now, he’s still imprisoning someone who he speaks of with such gravity, which means the person must be incredibly important. Check latest chapters at nοvelfire.net
But the question is, why didn’t the Grand Preceptor just kill this person instead of imprisoning them?
What was he really thinking?
Cao Zhen internally criticized and inquired, “Who is that person?
And what is their Cultivation Base?”
He couldn’t possibly remain unaware of even the name of the opponent.
“That person is the Sect Master of the Bleeding Tears Demon Sect.”
“The Sect Master of the Bleeding Tears Demon Sect?” Cao Zhen was taken aback.
“The Bleeding Tears Demon Sect, one of the three great Demon Sects under the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty back then?”
He had once heard Lan Pili mentioning that the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty had three great Demon Sects, namely the Sun and Moon Demon Sect, the Red Refinery Demonic Sect, and the Bleeding Tears Demon Sect.
It was common knowledge how the Grand Preceptor uprooted the Red Refinery Demonic Sect and the Sun and Moon Demon Sect.
But no one knew how the Bleeding Tears Demon Sect was expelled from the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty by the Grand Preceptor—it seemed as if overnight, the Bleeding Tears Demon Sect had vanished from the dynasty.
Of course, although no one saw who took action, everyone knew that the only person with the power to make the Bleeding Tears Demon Sect disappear was the Grand Preceptor.
“Indeed, it is the Bleeding Tears Demon Sect,” the Grand Preceptor said gravely.
“The Bleeding Tears Demon Sect, although one of the three great Demon Sects…
in any case, you need not know why I did not slay the Sect Master of the Bleeding Tears Demon Sect.
You only need to know that among the Sect Masters of the three great Demon Sects of the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty, he was the strongest.
That’s all you need to know.”
Moreover, the Bleeding Tears Demon Sect may seem to have been uprooted just like the Sun Moon Demon Sect and the Red Refinery Demonic Sect, but their losses were the least.
Initially, the Bleeding Tears Demon Sect did not wait for me to act; they voluntarily withdrew from the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty, thus preserving their strength intact.”
Cao Zhen immediately thought of many things.
It was typical of the Grand Preceptor not to kill the opponent.
For instance, with the Immortal Warrior, didn’t the Grand Preceptor likewise refrain from killing him?
However, everyone knew why the Grand Preceptor did not kill the Immortal Warrior—it was because, after all, the Immortal Warrior was not a Cultivator, and the Grand Preceptor himself felt that he had already violated his promise by acting, so he did not slay him.
But the Grand Preceptor’s reasons for not killing the Sect Master of the Bleeding Tears Demon Sect remained unspoken.
Or could there be some kind of grudge or complex relationship?
Could the Sect Master of the Bleeding Tears Demon Sect possibly be a woman?
As Cao Zhen speculated in his heart, he continued to inquire, “Since you say the Sect Master of the Bleeding Tears Demon Sect was the strongest out of the three great Demon Sect Masters of the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty, then his Cultivation Base must have already exceeded the Golden Core Stage.
After the arrival of the Minor Era of Inversion of Heaven and Earth, wouldn’t he fall into slumber?”
“She might fall into slumber, but then again, she might not,” the Grand Preceptor pointed to himself and said.
“I could continuously sever myself with a cut to reduce my Cultivation Base to a level undetectable by the Heavenly Dao.
And she can do the same.”
