Unlimited priesthood

Chapter 58 A big gamble
A few days later, in Fenglei Town, Fenglei Tavern.

"Did you hear that?"

It starts with a classic, followed by rumors and gossip.

"What did you hear?"

"What else? The challenge, of course."

"The previous generation's Destiny Master, Guardian Zhang Dongfang Bai, is challenging Li Qingshan, the Lord of Shahu Valley, on behalf of the Wind and Thunder Kingdom. It's said that the challenge has already been sent to Shahu Valley, and they're waiting for Li Qingshan's response."

"Wind and Thunder Kingdom, Chapter of Protection?"

"They're finally here!"

"Finally, someone can suppress Li Qingshan's arrogance."

As everyone talked, the atmosphere in the pub became even more lively.

"The Wind and Thunder Mountains are too small to support two kingdoms."

"Li Qingshan is so overbearing, and the size of the Sand Valley is so astonishing. The Wind and Thunder Kingdom can't accommodate him, and he can't accommodate the Wind and Thunder Kingdom either. Conflict between the two sides is inevitable!"

"I knew they were coming, but I didn't expect them to come so soon, and use the method of imperial spirit challenge. What if Li Qingshan doesn't accept it?"

"It's a tradition in the Yuling Continent for a Spirit Master to challenge another Spirit Master. If Li Qingshan refuses to accept the challenge and is unwilling to make concessions, and still wants to control the Wind and Thunder Mountains, then the Wind and Thunder Kingdom will have no choice but to go to war with him."

"Dongfang Bai proposed the Yuling Challenge in order to resolve the ownership issue of the Fenglei Mountains in a relatively peaceful manner. Even if Li Qingshan is defeated, he will only have to hand over the Sand Valley and other assets, and he can safely withdraw from Fenglei Mountains without being exterminated."

"Come on, let's not talk about whether they can kill Li Qingshan or not. Even if they can, the consequences will be difficult for them to bear. The spirit beast armies in the Sand Valley and the civilian spirit masters who are loyal to Li Qingshan will not let them go."

"Li Qingshan's reputation among the common people is currently at its peak, and Sand Valley has built a large number of relief warehouses and a Spirit Master Academy. If all of this were to suddenly come to nothing, it would undoubtedly cause widespread public outrage and affect the reconstruction and development of the Wind and Thunder Kingdom."

"So, the Imperial Spirit Challenge is the best solution. Both sides don't want to see the Wind and Thunder Mountains become a river of blood, which would affect their future rule."

"Dongfang Bai is like this, and so is Li Qingshan. If nothing unexpected happens, we'll soon hear that Shabo Valley is accepting the challenge..."

In the tavern, at the wine table, many people were discussing the situation and analyzing it thoroughly.

At this moment...

"boom!"

The tavern door burst open, and a man hurried in, announcing loudly, "Shahu Valley has accepted the challenge. Their Spirit Beast Engineering Team is currently constructing an arena. In half a month, the two sides will have a decisive battle on the large arena outside Shahu Valley."

"Accepted the challenge?"

Although it was expected, everyone was still a little surprised and confused when they heard the news.

"More than just accepting the challenge!"

The visitor drank a bowl of water and said, "I heard that the Shahu Valley has taken the initiative to increase the stakes."

"Stake?"

"What stake?"

After hearing this, some people were puzzled and some frowned.

"It's the stakes for Yuling's challenge!"

"To prevent the losing party from turning against their agreement, Dongfang Bai proposed a bet. The loser must pay the winner 2 billion crystal coins!"

"Two billion crystal coins?"

"Oh my goodness, is the Wind and Thunder Kingdom so rich?"

"It's not the Fenglei Kingdom that is rich, but the Dongfang family."

"As the most powerful noble family in the Land of Earth, second only to the royal family, the Dongfang family has a long and rich heritage. Its successive heads have all been monarch-level spirit masters. They have long possessed the ability to establish their own nation, but for various reasons, they have been unable to break away from the Land of Earth."

"As a previous generation's Heavenly Fated Spiritual Master, Dongfang Bai will surely be promoted to an Emperor-level Spiritual Master in the future. He already has the capital to leave the Land Kingdom."

"Rebuilding the Wind and Thunder Kingdom this time is just the Dongfang family's initial test. In the end, they may even want to establish a kingdom of their own."

"Two billion crystal coins is just a drop in the bucket for a behemoth like the Dongfang family, but for Shahu Valley and Li Qingshan..."

"Although they control the meat and by-product trade in dozens of towns surrounding the Wind and Thunder Mountains, raising two billion crystal coins would still require significant investment, even requiring the sale of assets." "Dongfang Bai's intentions are clear: he's gambling his fortune with Shahu Valley. If he loses, he'll hand over two billion crystal coins. If he wins, Shahu Valley will sell its assets and retreat from the Wind and Thunder Mountains."

"So that's what it is!"

After a few words, everyone felt relieved and turned their attention to the person who delivered the news: "How much has Shahu Valley increased the stakes?"

The man drank another bowl of water, then stammered, "30 billion!"

"How many!?"

When these words were spoken, everyone in the room was shocked, and everyone looked at the messenger in astonishment.

"Thirty billion?"

"30 billion what?"

"Where did Li Qingshan get so many crystal coins?"

"Isn't this just a bluff? Is he trying to intimidate the Dongfang family?"

"Did you hear that? It's really 30 billion crystal coins?"

"Is he going to gamble his life with the Dongfang family?"

Everyone stood up in astonishment and looked at the messenger.

"Listen, hear clearly, that's 30 billion crystal coins!"

The messenger also breathed a sigh of relief: "Shahu Valley has made it very clear that if they lose, they will give Shahu Valley, Luojiabao, Baishui Bay, in short, all of Li Qingshan's properties, as well as the tens of millions of spirit beasts in stock, and even the secret methods of breeding spirit beasts and the secret recipes for spirit beast feed, all to the Dongfang family, with a total value of 30 billion crystal coins.

On the other hand, if Dongfang Bai loses, he will have to compensate them with 30 billion crystal coins. If the crystal coins are not enough, Shabo Valley will also allow them to use the secret method of controlling spirits, secret recipes for medicines, and various spiritual objects to offset them. In short, they must make up the full 30 billion crystal coins."

"This……"

Everyone looked at each other, speechless for a moment.

Thirty billion crystal coins, this is a number that an ordinary spirit master can never reach in his lifetime.

Although Dongfang Bai is not an ordinary spirit master and the Dongfang family is not an ordinary family, 30 billion crystal coins is not a small number for them. Although they can take it out, it will inevitably cause great damage to their vitality.

With the stakes raised to this point, to be honest, it would be better to just go to war. Thirty billion crystal coins is an amount that ranks among the highest in war reparations throughout history, and it is enough to go down in history.

and so……

"Li Qingshan is gambling his life with the Dongfang family!"

"Thirty billion crystal coins, it's a shame he asked for it."

"Even if he wins Dongfang Bai, wouldn't it be too hot for him to take such a large sum of money?"

"How can a mere Spirit-level Spirit Control Master protect such wealth?"

"He's still a mere Spirit Level Spirit Control Master. He dares to make such a bet. It means he has the confidence to face Dongfang Bai alone, and even win."

"Dongfang Bai is the guardian of the previous generation. Although his destiny has passed, the Earth Dragon Beast he contracted with is still there. He is an absolute emperor. The Dark Demon King Beast has been sealed for decades. Even if he has not recovered to the monarch level, he is definitely at the spirit level."

"A Spiritual Emperor, or one who has a destiny, coupled with the Dongfang family's various spirit-controlling secrets, should be able to fight even a monarch-level spirit-controller head-on, right?"

"If Li Qingshan can defeat him, then Shabo Valley can really take these 30 billion crystal coins."

"I just don't know if Dongfang Bai will accept the challenge..."

Everyone was talking, and the focus gradually shifted.

At this moment...

"boom!"

The door was knocked open again, and a man came in with a loud voice: "Accepted the challenge, accepted the challenge, Dongfang Bai accepts the challenge!"
