Chapter 343: Chapter 197: A Whole Life of Fortune Turns into Silver Tael, Disaster on the Field Becomes Chips_2

At that moment, everyone grew increasingly anxious. It had come to the point where Feather Transformation Sect and Juxia Sect also needed to take action, otherwise things wouldn’t have been going so smoothly.

However, no one knew who would make the first move.

Gu Shanhai was also waiting for the results to be announced, while taking the opportunity to see how Yun Yu, the Sect Leader of Chengyun Sect, would respond.

As the rewards were being distributed, right before the announcement of disbandment, Shen Heng suddenly stood up.

At the venue, looking at the three Sect Leaders, he bowed and said, "I have long heard of the Taoist Wude of Chengyun Sect, who has mastered the ’36 Transformations’ and the ’72 Transformations,’ capable of extreme avoidance of disasters and calamities. I humbly request a match tonight."

"If I am fortunate enough to win, I request Taoist Wude to pass on his teachings to all, for the benefit of the beings!"

Upon hearing this, everyone present fell silent.

"Absurd, you are merely a True Disciple from Luoyuan Sect, and you dare to challenge our Chengyun Sect’s Dharma Transmission Elder? Hah, ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth." A Hundred Veins Manager from Chengyun Sect rebuked him immediately without hesitation.

Having Yun Yu respond would seem beneath him.

"What I seek is for the benefit of all beings, not for my own selfish desires. Could it be that Chengyun Sect is unwilling to part with a single hair to benefit the world?" Facing this Spirit Origin Stage Manager, Shen Heng was fearless.

Fortunately, this manager was also competent. He used righteousness to counter righteousness, and the two went back and forth.

Gu Shanhai saw this situation and furrowed his brows; if he didn’t respond, the omens were slightly ominous, but responding would be highly dangerous.

Regardless, it would put his life at risk.

"This person is hateful and cannot be left alone; after this event is concluded, dispatch someone to shatter his soul." Xi Huan was intent on killing.

Not just him, everyone present felt the same; since you chose to be the blade, don’t complain about being hated and broken by others.

"That kid is planning trouble," Gu Shanhai suddenly laughed. He was prepared to take a gamble, but now was not the right time.

Meanwhile, at the venue, after much back-and-forth argument, Yun Yu finally spoke, "You speak of benefiting all beings, thus it is not inherently wrong for our Elder Wude to impart his painstakingly developed methods, provided that you and yours pledge to become his disciples, swear a grand oath to serve by his side. It’s not a big deal to pass on the teachings then."

Upon saying this, everyone’s expressions changed. This was too harsh, directly forcing the opponent to accept him as their master, coupled with a pledge that would sever their spiritual path if violated. Nobody could accept that.

It was said that this Elder Wude was only at the Foundation Establishment Stage.

"Friend Yun Yu, I think I must speak a word of fairness here," Taoist Tian Xun spoke up then.

The so-called fairness was basically a bias in disguise.

Taoist Tian Xun, along with Taoist Chi Yan, began an onslaught of words, continuously refuting Yun Yu’s statements.

Once Yun Yu spoke, only these equally ranked individuals could respond; others weren’t qualified to interject.

But the tension was increasingly palpable, and anyone with clear eyes could see that trouble was brewing.

Seeing this scene, Gu Shanhai knew the timing was ripe and said, "Is there a way to send a message over there, saying I accept this challenge? I’ll pass on the technique for avoiding disasters if I lose, but we need to modify these stakes a bit."

"No, they are just trying to draw you in to tear off the masks. Once you go there, it will definitely turn sour." The Supreme Elder immediately vetoed Gu Shanhai’s suggestion, for Yun Yu could afford to die, and with the ’36 Transformations,’ their future wouldn’t lack Peeping Dao Stage individuals, but if Gu Shanhai died, that would be a significant problem.

"I’m not going, let it go instead; a mere True Disciple from a small sect is naturally not worthy of facing me, the Dharma Transmission Elder, in person." Gu Shanhai smiled, pointing at Azure Dragon as he said, intending to confront a major calamity and seize a great fortune.

"This..."

"Don’t worry, I won’t die, and neither will it." Gu Shanhai was ready to risk everything, an unconventional gamble. Since the other party had challenged him and offered him a perfect opportunity to completely eliminate Shen Heng, how could he refuse.

"Wait a moment, let us discuss this," the group said solemnly, also communicating with Yun Yu, who was far away in the venue.

Most people actually thought the same. It was Yun Yu who bore the pressure, even Yun Yu himself thought this way. However, they also knew Gu Shanhai, completely indifferent about certain matters, yet very stubborn about others.

Additionally, since Gu Shanhai did not personally take the field and let his accompanying spirit creature, the Azure Dragon, go instead, it was more acceptable for everyone, and after some discussion, they agreed.

"Okay, I’ve also asked Elder Wude about this," Yun Yu suddenly changed his tune. "He agrees, just that the conditions of the duel need to be changed. If you agree, we can discuss further."

This caused Chi Yan and Tian Xun to change their expressions slightly. The other party had actually loosened up. Then, the two exchanged glances, signaling to take this opportunity.

Upon hearing this, Shen Heng also breathed a sigh of relief and then said, "That’s entirely possible; any negotiation works!"

"If that’s the case, I’ll invite Elder Wude over," Yun Yu said, and a Qing Dragon was transferred over.

"Hmph, hiding behind a manifestation, your esteemed elder only dares to appear in this form?" Originally intending to take action, Chi Yan, upon seeing this, did not make a move and sarcastically taunted.

"A small true disciple from a minor sect, having a manifestation is already giving him enough face. Does he merit my real presence? If tomorrow an ordinary person who picks up dung wants to meet Sect Leader Chi Yan, will you go too? If not for the Divine Sect’s Meeting, such an insignificant person wouldn’t have the status or family standing to meet me," Gu Shanhai spared no effort in his retort.

Chi Yan wanted to speak again, but seeing Yun Yu staring at him, he ultimately swallowed his words and snorted, "Hmph, sharp-tongued."

Gu Shanhai ignored the opponent and turned the Azure Dragon’s head towards Shen Heng, then asked, "Is it you who wish to challenge me in this duel?"

"Indeed!" Shen Heng’s face looked somewhat ugly, as Gu Shanhai’s earlier words had effectively equated him with those scavenging dung.

"You said earlier, if you win, I will transmit the way to you, naturally, there’s no problem. But if you lose, you have no stake. Would that not mean you stand unbeaten whether you lose or win? That’s not a duel; that’s taking advantage."

"I own nothing, how can I compare with the wealthy Elder Wude of the Four Seas?" Shen Heng subtly mocked their statuses.

"Yes, you do have something extremely precious on you, but I don’t know if you’re willing to wager it," Gu Shanhai’s dragon eyes stared at him as he spoke.

Shen Heng’s face changed slightly, but he said nothing.

Gu Shanhai continued on his own, "If I win the duel, I ask for all your life’s fate to be given to me. If I lose, all 36 Transformations and 72 Techniques will be transmitted to you. However, you must also give me two-thirds of your life’s fate. Then even if you transmit these dodging disasters and evading calamities techniques to the world, my Chengyun Sect will not interfere."

"Hissss~" Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked; it was a great surprise.

Shen Heng was about to agree, but before he could actually voice it, a sense of palpitation struck his heart—a certain premonition warning him he absolutely must not agree, or great disaster would befall.

"What’s the matter? You always claim to be daring to act for the sake of all beings under the heavens, why are you backing down now?" Gu Shanhai sneered mockingly.

Then, the crowd also started heckling, directly grilling Shen Heng.

"If you don’t trust us, we can establish a vow through the Great Dao and Great Heaven’s oath; that would be fine," said Gu Shanhai.

"No, this way, regardless of winning or losing, I’d still have to give you my fate, that’s not fair," Shen Heng decisively refused.

"In that case, let’s make it fairer, regardless of who wins or loses, I’ll transmit you the method. But if I win, you cannot spread it, only you can use it. How’s that?" Gu Shanhai indicated he took another step back.

At this moment, Shen Heng realized something, he could obtain the method, but would at least have to lose two-thirds of his fate. Although he didn’t know whether the life’s fate in this world was real, the fact that the other party wanted it meant it was definitely valuable.

But now, a lot of things were beyond his control. Whether it was the three sects or other sects, they wouldn’t let him just leave. To be a tool, one needed to have the corresponding resolve.

"Very well, I agree to this duel according to Elder Wude’s method. Let us begin," Shen Heng gritted his teeth and agreed.

"Not so fast, let’s make the vow first," Gu Shanhai said with profound implication.
