Hell Emperor.

Chapter 492 Ye Jie - Fishing for Big Fish

The news of Ye Jie's gambling fight with the Li Shi Xian Guan continued to spread in the city and gradually spread.

After hearing the news, people were amazed at this person's strength. He could actually fight on par with the Immortal Official of Li Shi. He thought he must be a top figure. Only a very few people were surprised to hear that it was actually the Lord of Yama Palace in person.

Soon, the news reached the companions on the Tianji.

Su Miao recognized the other party's name and was a little surprised for a moment: "Li Shi Xian Guan? Isn't that one of the gods of wealth? Why did Ye Jie want to gamble with the god of wealth? Did he think he had too much money?"

"I don't know... maybe something happened." Shen Qingge shook his head, thinking about what had happened.

Ren Changhong waved his hand: "What does it matter? It's his own fault anyway. If he wants to try, let him try."

While everyone was discussing, Hua Xiaomei suddenly sensed something and took out a torn page from her bosom. Her eyes suddenly lit up: "This is the news from Brother Jie. He may need help. Let's go over and take a look."

After receiving this news, everyone set off to find out what was going on.

Meanwhile, at the Wanshou Casino on Chang Street, the originally bright beast fighting betting game suddenly changed.

After modifying the file through the eight-sided stitching pages, the anaconda chosen by Ye Jie gained power comparable to that of a dragon. Compared with the curled-up silver ring snake, it had an overwhelming advantage, and victory seemed to be just around the corner.

However, even in this situation, the anaconda was reluctant to launch an attack, with great hesitation in its eyes.

Outside the field, Ye Jie didn't know what was going on, and there was a hint of anxiety in his eyes. Victory was clearly right in front of him, but the monsters in the field didn't do what he wanted, so he could only worry.

At this moment, Ye Jie seemed to hear a barely perceptible hissing sound beside his ear:
"That's right. Do you really want to harm your own kind just for the amusement of humans? You have the same blood flowing in your bodies. They are not your enemies. Those humans are the ones you should hunt."

After hearing the content of the hissing sound, Ye Jie's eyes flickered.

The chaotic and tiny hissing sounds in the ears of ordinary people actually contained different meanings. Ye Jie's third-grade talent of animal communication came into play and translated the hissing sound that sounded like the sound of a snake into what he understood.

Following the direction from which the sound came, Ye Jie was surprised to find that the owner of the hissing sound was none other than the Immortal Official Li Shi who was not far away.

What Ye Jie didn't expect was that the Immortal Official Li Shi could actually talk to animals. Could it be that he also possessed similar innate magical powers?

Under the persuasion of the Immortal Official Li Shi, the anaconda's desire to fight the silver ring snake was gradually dispelled. It swept its cold and turbid vertical pupils across the crowd watching nearby, its eyes full of cold-blooded murderous intent.

"What are you doing? Go and defeat that coral snake!"

Seeing that the anaconda was slow to move, Ye Jie couldn't help but urge it.

With the help of animal communication, Ye Jie's words were conveyed to the anaconda, but the only response he got was a hoarse hiss: "Don't even think about ordering me around, human!"

Ye Jie emphasized, "The Divine Dragon Transformation in you was given to you by me. Since I can give you this power, I can also take it back. You'd better do as I say."

"Go to hell, human!"

The anaconda rose from the ground, its body moving nimbly, and its thick tail was like a nimble long whip, strangling Ye Jie.

Ye Jie's eyes darkened, and a bright golden light burst out of his pupils. The dragon power of the divine dragon was no longer concealed. The breath coming from the Nine Sky Divine Dragon made the anaconda feel instinctively awed, and its movements stopped abruptly.

Unfortunately, it stopped too late, and half of its body had crossed the boundary of the arena. Shoufa, who was standing next to it, said with annoyance:
"The anaconda is out of bounds. The beast fight was won by Lishi Xianguan."

"what?"

Hearing this, Ye Jie's heart trembled. He had clearly made all the preparations, but he never thought that the final result would be like this. The monster didn't even start a fight, and was defeated as soon as it went out of bounds.

The Immortal Official of Profit was not surprised by this result. He took the two birthday flags in the middle of the gambling table and couldn't help but sneered:
"Is that the account book of life and death in your hand? It seems that you are no ordinary person. However, even if you are the Lord of Yama Palace, so what? At the gambling table, the final winner must be me!"

Ye Jie took a deep breath. He was still a long way behind in the art of beast fighting. Although he could modify the monster's files, he had misjudged the monster's nature. Once the monster had enough strength, they would not be easily slaughtered.

In the field, the anaconda still refused to admit defeat and prepared to attack the crowd watching nearby. After obtaining the Dragon Transformation at the Wanhua level, its strength was superior to that of a first-level immortal, and it behaved like a real ferocious beast. Innocent spectators had already been attacked by it, and their entire bodies had been strangled by its thick snake body. If it was let go, it would definitely cause trouble in the future.

Seeing this, Ye Jie didn't bother to be polite with it. Before the people around could see clearly what happened, they heard a dull explosion. In a trance, it seemed that a thick dragon's tail swept across and crushed the anaconda to death.

At this time, a ghost fairy came to Shoufa and whispered something to him, and his expression changed obviously.

Shoufa stepped forward quickly, lowered his voice, and said to Ye Jie:
"Palace Master Ye... my master has also heard about the gambling game and is planning to come and take a look. You should leave now so that I can arrange for a master from the gambling house to take over. Otherwise, if she loses, she will be greatly disappointed..."

Ye Jie smiled and gave him a reassuring look: "Don't worry, everything is under my control. The Fairy of Longevity has come at the right time, let her see how the Fairy of Li Shi lost all the life he had won."

Shoufa opened his eyes wide, with a look of disbelief, and couldn't help but said: "Palace Master Ye, you have lost two games in a row. It is true that your strength is better than that of the gambling masters, but your opponent is not an ordinary person, but one of the gods of wealth, the Immortal Official of Profit. How can you beat him? If you disappoint my master, the consequences will be very serious..."

Ye Jie did not answer, but cast his gaze on the Li Shi Immortal Official in the distance and spoke loudly:
"You win this time, but I don't believe that your luck will always be so good."

The Li Shi Xianguan looked up and laughed mercilessly, "Do you think I can win just by luck? It seems that you don't know who you are gambling with. No matter how many times you come, the result is exactly the same!"

"In this case……"

Ye Jie picked up the birthday flags on the gambling table one by one and threw them all in the middle.

"How about we decide the winner next time?"

After noticing Ye Jie's actions, the faces of the people nearby changed and exclamations were heard one after another.

At the beginning, Shoufa gave Ye Jie ten longevity flags, each of which contained 100 million years of life. Ye Jie lost two rounds, and there were two fewer longevity flags in front of him, but there were still eight left.

The eight longevity flags contain 800 million years of lifespan. If someone possessed such a longevity, it would be enough for him to live until the seas run dry and the rocks crumble. It would not be an exaggeration to describe him as having a lifespan as long as the sky. However, now all of them have been thrown away.

Even Shoufa could not have expected that Ye Jie would throw all the longevity flags out in one go, determined to win in one go. When he thought of the huge amount of longevity, even he could not help but tremble in his legs, not daring to imagine what would happen if he lost. The Lishi Immortal Official, who had already won twice, would certainly not refuse such a proposal, and said, "I only have seven longevity flags in my hand, and you bet on eight longevity flags. This condition is in my favor, so I'll take it!"

As the seven birthday flags fell, fifteen birthday flags were laid out in the center of the gambling table. From a distance, it looked like a small mountain piled up on the table.

Looking at the dazzling and eye-catching longevity flag, the onlookers didn't even dare to breathe. There was no doubt that this grand gamble involving 1.5 billion years of life would be enough to become the biggest focus event in Wanshou City in the next few years or even decades, and would become everyone's after-dinner conversation.

At this moment, a strong aura came from behind.

In the face of that aura, the onlookers stopped shouting and consciously made way, with respectful looks on their faces.

There was a series of sounds of heavy objects hitting the ground, and the white-haired Wanshou Fairy, leaning on a dragon-headed cane, came to the outside of the gambling house surrounded by the crowd.

Seeing the person coming, Shoufa's pupils trembled and he bowed respectfully: "Master..."

"It's okay, I just came to take a look, you don't need to care."

Fairy Wanshou waved her hand and her eyes fell on Ye Jie who was not far away.

Ye Jie gave her a reassuring look and said slowly, "With Fairy Wanshou as a witness, it seems that we don't have to worry about that person cheating after losing."

"I'm cheating? Are you kidding?" The Lishi Immortal Official sneered, his face full of absurdity, "Let's get started quickly. This time, what rules do you want to choose? Tell me in advance, if the rules are obviously cheating, don't say it, I won't agree."

"Not urgent."

Ye Jie stood still, resting as if he was breathing and regulating his breath, in order to put himself in the best condition.

Seeing this, the Immortal Official Li Shi was also not in a hurry and did not continue to urge him. In the gambling game, outlasting the opponent is also a part of the strategy. If you urge him impatiently, you will fall into the opponent's trap and be affected.

I don’t know how long it took, the sun set in the west, and night enveloped the sky.

As night fell, the crowd gathered around not only did not disperse, but instead grew larger and larger. All the famous people in Wanshou City had heard of this grand gambling game, and the streets were full of onlookers, waiting for the game to begin.

Ye Jie's heart was as calm as water. All the noise from the outside world could not disturb his heart.

It was not until a familiar voice came from behind that Ye Jie opened his eyes, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes.

"Is the Wanshou Casino right here? It took us so long to find it!"

Hua Xiaomei leaned over, looked left and right, and finally found Ye Jie in the crowd. Her eyes lit up.

"Why did you come?"

Ye Jie asked Shoufa to disperse the crowd and finally opened a path. After reuniting with his companions, he felt a little helpless. He had been standing here for an incense stick of time and finally waited for his companions to arrive.

Su Miao said unhappily, "It seems we are here too early. We should have waited a little longer until you have lost all your life span before coming back."

Ye Jie rubbed his forehead. If he lost again this time, he would really lose everything.

Xie Xinyu looked into the distance, his eyes also fell on the Li Shi Xianguan who was sitting across from the gambling table, and sneered:
"As the God of Wealth, instead of accepting people's worship and blessing them with wealth, he actually got involved in gambling. He really has no shame at all. If this gets out, I wonder what the other immortal officials will think!"

The Immortal Official of Profits did not care, instead he showed an ignorant look: "The Jade Emperor has ordered that the God of Wealth cannot gamble, and I am betting on my life span, and I think this life span is not money."

"you!"

Xie Xinyu glared at him, but he waved his hand and sneered, "If you have the ability, come to the table first and then talk. How many years of life can you afford to lose? If you don't dare to come to the table and talk, you will be embarrassed."

Xie Xinyu was about to explode, but Ye Jie reached out and stopped her: "Don't be angry, let him be arrogant for a while. I want to see what kind of expression the God of Wealth, who is said to win every time he gambles, will show if he loses."

Hearing this, Ren Changhong's eyes lit up and he asked, "It seems that you have found a way to win. Your opponent is one of the gods of wealth appointed by the Heavenly Court, and his methods are amazing. How do you plan to defeat him?"

Ye Jie coughed dryly: "Well... I haven't thought of a specific method, I can only give it a try."

Shen Qingge frowned slightly, and a bit of worry appeared in her bright eyes: "Ah Jie, this is not a small competition, but a huge gamble involving more than one billion years of life. Every year of life is taken from living creatures. This burden is not light. What should I do if I lose?"

Ye Jie smiled and said, "Since you don't want to lose, then just win."

After saying that, Ye Jie also looked at the Li Shi Xianguan in the distance: "For this gambling fight, I want to replace me with another person, and the rules will also be determined by her. What do you think?"

The Li Shi Xian Guan laughed loudly, with a hint of complacency in his laughter: "You can change people however you want. Do you think I'm afraid? No one who can beat me at the gambling table has been born yet."

Ye Jie saw his arrogant look and felt more at ease, thinking that the two games he had lost before were worth it.

During the years as a ghost catcher, Ye Jie has come into contact with many gamblers, and thus understands the tricks of gambling in the market.

As the saying goes, you can catch a big fish by casting a long line. If you want to trick people, you must first let them taste the sweetness, until they let down their guard and slack off, and then make them lose all their money with interest.

Maybe the Immortal Official of Li Shi is indeed extremely capable, but Ye Jie also holds a trump card in his hand, which, once played, is enough to completely reverse the situation.

"Three hundred and fifty-three, three hundred and fifty-four, three hundred..."

Nan Linghe looked up in a daze, his attention drawn to the stars in the sky. Suddenly he realized that his family members' eyes were on him, and he could not help but shrink his neck.

"Why are you all looking at me? I just counted to three hundred... How much is three hundred?"

Seeing Nan Linghe wandering in the sky with a confused and helpless look, Ye Jie stroked his forehead, wondering if she could shoulder the responsibility of living for 1.5 billion years.
