If you agree to bet, you must accept your loss.
"While drunk, I look at the sword under the lamp. In my dreams, I blow the horn.
Eight hundred miles under my command. Fifty bowstrings overturn the Great Wall.
On the battlefield in autumn, the horses fly fast. The bow is like a thunderbolt, the string is frightening.
Conquering the world's affairs, winning fame in life and death.
Pity happens in vain! "
The surrounding people were still immersed in the artistic conception of this song. Everyone's heart was shocked by this song.
The ambition at the beginning of the poem caused everyone's hearts to surge with passion and ambition. However, the phrase 'pitiful for nothing' at the end expressed countless sorrow and regret, causing everyone to involuntarily sigh in their hearts. It could be said that they had mixed feelings in their hearts.
Even Huangfu Wuji, after listening to this song, revealed a trace of deep thought on his handsome face. Without a doubt, he was also involuntarily immersed in the artistic conception of this song.
On the edge of the stage, Moyan Wushang's beautiful eyes were rippling with extraordinary splendor. She couldn't see the slightest flaw in this song. Everything was so perfect, whether it was the exciting scene on the battlefield or the final sigh of not being able to fight, everything was so reasonable.
Boom!
An extremely frightening and dazzling light erupted from the surface of the Morning Bell and Evening Drum. This light became even more intense and dazzling. Numerous excited and surging drum sounds were continuously transmitted from the drum surface, as though they were expressing their excitement at this moment.
When the light reached its peak, a pillar of light pierced through the sky and soared into the sky. At this moment, the enormous stage began to tremble violently before collapsing inch by inch.
Moyan Wushang and Huangfu Wuji's faces slightly changed. They quickly used their movement techniques to leave the stage. On the stage, their faces were solemn.
The pillar of light gradually disappeared and the Morning Bell and Evening Drum slowly appeared in front of everyone. On the surface of the drum, the rusty marks had completely disappeared. At this moment, it was as smooth as jade and its sharpness was threatening.
At this moment, Zhuowen's feet stepped on the void and he also left the stage. Looking up at the huge drum that was suspended above the stage, Zhuowen frowned. This Morning Bell and Evening Drum was not simple.
A terrifying aura gushed out from the Morning Bell and Evening Drum. This aura was far beyond the level of an Earthly Soul Treasure.
"Good heavens!
The Morning Bell and Evening Drum were actually consecrated. Doesn't that mean that the Second Prince lost the bet between Zhuowen and the Second Prince? "
"Who the hell is this kid?
Not only did he sound the Morning Bell and Evening Drum ten times, he even consecrated it successfully. "
Sensing the powerful aura bursting out from the Morning Bell and Evening Drum, a commotion immediately broke out in the surroundings. A trace of shock appeared in everyone's eyes. No one had expected that the Morning Bell and Evening Drum would finally be consecrated.
Moreover, the person who had successfully consecrated was the unknown Zhuowen who carried the green coffin on his back.
At this moment, the atmosphere within the Moon Embracing Pavilion had also become incomparably silent. Everyone's gazes were blankly staring at the Morning Bell and Evening Drum that had been successfully consecrated.
"The consecration was successful?"
Wen Aoxue's delicate body trembled, and her beautiful eyes were already filled with shock. She suddenly realized that she had actually severely underestimated that young man called Zhuowen.
At this moment, Wen Aoxue couldn't help but recall Lv Yitao's words. The corner of her mouth revealed a trace of a bitter smile as she said, "So the strongest person in Muqin County isn't Lv Yitao, but this Zhuowen."
Mu Xue, who was sitting in the corner near the window, revealed a trace of a smile. Her beautiful eyes quietly stared at the glowing Morning Bell and Evening Drum, as well as the back that was illuminated by the light.
Moyan Wushang's eyes contained a trace of joy. He gracefully bowed to Zhuowen and said with a smile, "Young master, this time you have helped Wushang greatly. Tonight, Wushang will play the 'Bodhisattva Barbarian' for you."
Moyan Wushang's words moved everyone around. They never thought that the one who would finally obtain this opportunity would be this unknown young man in front of them.
Huangfu Wuji's face was gloomy. Today's limelight had been completely stolen by Zhuowen. He, who was used to being aloof, naturally felt extremely displeased.
"Then, many thanks for Miss Wushang's favor."
The corner of his mouth rose as Zhuowen cupped his hands in thanks. The current him was actually quite eager to enter the Mystic Comprehending Realm again. Tomorrow, he would enter the Imperial City. At that time, the Battle of the Nine Counties would officially begin. His strength was still not enough.
"Young master Zhuo is too polite. This was originally Wushang's promise."
Moyan Wushang smiled sweetly. With a wave of her jade-like hand, the large drum that was suspended in the air was stored in her Spirit Ring.
The Morning Bell and Evening Drum was still in the process of being consecrated. It would take at least four hours for the consecration to complete. Now, only when the light on the surface of the drum had completely faded away and its original appearance could they know the rank of this drum Spirit Treasure.
Moyan Wushang obviously didn't want others to know the rank of the Morning Bell and Evening Drum, so she stored it in her Spirit Ring in advance.
"Then, our honorable Second Prince, it's clear who the winner of the bet is, isn't it?
Then, Second Prince, please fulfill the bet! "
Slowly turning around, Zhuowen's eyes focused on Huangfu Wuji, the corners of his mouth revealing a trace of ridicule.
As Zhuowen spoke, everyone's eyes gathered on Huangfu Wuji. They were all curious as to what choice Huangfu Wuji would make. After all, this bet had been proposed by Huangfu Wuji himself.
Three bows and nine kowtows, and also the destruction of one's own cultivation. Such a price was simply too great. This Huangfu Wuji was the dignified Second Prince of the Imperial Family. How could he possibly do such a humiliating thing?
"What?
Is the dignified Second Prince someone who doesn't keep his word?
Or is the bet that you proposed just a fart, not even worth a single cent? "
Zhuowen's voice grew louder and louder, like a thunderclap. It rolled through the entire Moon Embracing Pavilion, causing Huangfu Wuji's complexion to become extremely ugly.
"Who do you think you are?
You dare to make His Highness the Second Prince kneel three times and nine kowtows, and even destroy his own cultivation? You lowly commoner, you really have some guts. "Senior Shadow appeared beside Zhuowen and shouted at him.
Zhuo Wen shrugged and said indifferently, "I wasn't the one who proposed the bet, and I wasn't the one who made the bet. It was our honorable Second Prince who said it in all sincerity and solemnity.
So, the one who made the Second Prince kneel three times and nine kowtows, and even destroy his own cultivation was not me, but your Second Prince. "
Huangfu Wuji narrowed his eyes and coldly said, "The 'Morning Bell and Evening Drum's' Light Opening 'depends on luck; it doesn't count at all. You and I have both rung it ten times, so at most it can be considered a draw.
If you are not convinced, then you can exchange moves with me. If you can withstand three moves from me, then I will kneel three times and kowtow nine times, and even destroy my own cultivation. "
"Withstand three moves from you?
I never thought that His Highness the Second Prince would be so shameless and shameless. He clearly lost and yet he still finds such a high-sounding reason. Tsk tsk, this is really an eye-opener for me. "
As Zhuowen spoke these words, the surrounding people all stared at Huangfu Wuji with strange gazes. Zhuowen's words were reasonable and fair. Whether it was the bet or the bet, it had all been decided by Huangfu Wuji. Now that he had lost, he actually wanted to go back on his word. This caused many people to start discussing amongst themselves.
As Huangfu Wuji listened to the discussions of the surrounding people, his complexion became increasingly ugly. He coldly said, "If I say it's a draw, then it's a draw. What qualifications do you have to refute me? If you can withstand three moves from me, then I will fulfill the bet."
"Do you think I'm an idiot like you?
I clearly won, so why should I accept such an unreasonable request from you? "Zhuowen's eyes became increasingly cold as he coldly said.
This Huangfu Wuji really thought too highly of himself. He had clearly lost the bet, and yet he still dared to so confidently and confidently break the bet. His skin could not be described as thick.
"Hehe!
Since you don't accept these conditions, then you don't have the qualifications to make me fulfill the bet. In my opinion, the 'Morning Bell and Evening Drum's Light Opening is far too lucky. This simply doesn't prove anything. "Huangfu Wuji said.
"Someone is so shameless that they have reached the level of you. Do you think that everything you say is natural?" Zhuowen's complexion darkened as he angrily said.
There were also many people around that began to point at Huangfu Wuji. After all, he was the one who had proposed the bet to Zhuowen from the very start. Now that he had lost, he actually dared to deny it. This was truly shameless.
"I think you're just looking to die. You actually dare to insult His Highness the Second Prince. Die for this old man!"
Senior Shadow's eyes were as gloomy as water. With a single step, his entire body melted into the ground like a shadow. In an instant, he had arrived behind Zhuowen. His withered branch-like claws swept towards the back of Zhuowen's head.
Bang!
As Senior Shadow's claws reached the back of Zhuowen's head, they were caught by a dirty hand. At some unknown time, Lü Hantian had appeared behind Zhuowen.
Senior Shadow's complexion changed. At this moment, his claws seemed as if they had been locked by iron; he couldn't move at all.
"You dare to move against Zhuowen?
I think you're just looking to die. Get out of my way! "
Lü Hantian coldly shouted. Senior Shadow was sent flying backwards, spitting out a mouthful of blood as he crashed into the ground at Huangfu Wuji's feet.
"Lü Hantian!
Do you really want to oppose our Royal Family?
Although you are an Empyrean powerhouse, our Royal Family is not something that an Empyrean powerhouse can afford to offend. "Huangfu Wuji coldly said.
"You think too highly of yourself. This was clearly a fair bet, but you actually broke the agreement and even planned to attack Zhuowen. A scum like you has completely lost the face of the Royal Family."
"Since you don't want to fulfill the terms of the bet, then let this father help you."
Lü Hantian coldly smiled. He suddenly stretched out his right hand, and a terrifying strength burst forth. Huangfu Wuji's complexion changed, and he involuntarily fell to his knees, bowing towards Zhuowen from afar.
"Lü Hantian!
You actually dare to treat me like this! You've got guts! "
Huangfu Wuji spat out a mouthful of blood, his face filled with shock and anger. He didn't think that Lü Hantian would be so crazy as to force him to do such a thing.
"When did this father force you?
I only want you to fulfill the terms of the bet, hehe. "Lü Hantian lightly smiled.
Hearing Lü Hantian's laughter, everyone felt their backs go numb. This Lü Hantian was far too unscrupulous. He actually dared to treat Huangfu Wuji in such a manner in the Imperial City. This was the Second Prince of the Royal Family!
Under the deliberate suppression of Lü Hantian's strength, Huangfu Wuji was forced to bow three times and kowtow nine times to Zhuowen. Huangfu Wuji was so angry that he fainted.
"After the three bows and nine kowtows, I'll cripple your cultivation."
