The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 2389: Chapter 2389: The Two Lords

The cultivators around the Gambling Platform gradually dispersed.

The pressure from the Xihua Immortal Venerable shrouded the head of every Faro Heaven cultivator.

Manager Qi once again came to the residence of the Chief Manager in the High-level Ticket Area. The Chief Manager of this Heavenly Domain Flying Boat was named Mi Yiran.

Mi Yiran himself is also an expert of the Immortal Venerable Realm, a senior figure in the Tianji Trading House. The person truly in charge of this Heavenly Domain Flying Boat is the Chief Manager Mi Yiran. Although there are still two Guardian Elders on the boat, they hardly intervene in the operation of the Heavenly Domain Flying Boat, only appearing when there is danger. The astonishing wealth obtained from selling tickets circulates through the nine Heavenly Domains before returning to the headquarters in Kunling Heaven, all under Mi Yiran’s control.

Hence, Mi Yiran’s status is special.

There are less than ten Heavenly Domain Flying Boats owned by Tianji Trading House. Managers like Mi Yiran are also rare within Tianji Trading House.

”Lord Chief!” Manager Qi greeted Chief Manager Mi Yiran.

”Manager Qi.” Mi Yiran nodded to Manager Qi.

”Lord Chief, about today’s Gambling Platform...” Although Manager Qi had previously sent a simple report, he wanted to detail the entire event before Chief Manager Mi Yiran now.

”Manager Qi, you needn’t say more, I am already aware of the entire process.” Mi Yiran raised his hand to halt Manager Qi, shaking his head as he spoke.

”Lord Chief, what should we do?” Manager Qi looked up at the Chief Manager and asked.

”We can’t do anything; the Xihua Immortal Venerable is no ordinary person, his mentor is extraordinary. Our Tianji Trading House should not easily offend such individuals. It’s not worth offending the Xihua Immortal Venerable over some ants from Faro Heaven,” Mi Yiran said.

”Lord Chief, while Faro Heaven’s cultivators are insignificant, Xihua Immortal Venerable’s actions challenge our Tianji Trading House’s rules. Ignoring this matter could severely impact our credibility,” Manager Qi argued.

Manager Qi’s words had merit.

Today’s gambling battle between Faro Heaven and Eastern Marvel Heaven was officially hosted by Tianji Trading House. This incident has a significant negative impact on Tianji Trading House. If Tianji Trading House does not address it, who would participate in future Heavenly Domain gambling battles? Additionally, if the news spreads, the impact on Tianji Trading House would only grow.

”Manager Qi, I have considered what you said. However, after consulting with the two Guardian Elders, we believe it’s best not to get involved for now. The impact of this issue on Tianji Trading House isn’t as severe as you might think; it may only affect the Heavenly Domain gambling battles slightly. This influence won’t be significant and will fade with time,” Mi Yiran seemed resolute, unmoved by Manager Qi’s arguments.

To Tianji Trading House, the Heavenly Domain gambling battles are indeed trivial. After all, on the Heavenly Domain Flying Boat, Tianji Trading House has its ways to extract resources from these cultivators.

”I understand, Lord Chief. I’ll take my leave now,” Manager Qi cupped his hands and said.

”Hmm.” Mi Yiran nodded.

After leaving Chief Manager Mi Yiran’s residence, Manager Qi headed to the Low-level Ticket Area.

Xu Yiming and other Immortal Rhythm Peak cultivators from Faro Heaven were still waiting for his news. Xu Yiming and the others, though holding little hope, now found Tianji Trading House to be their only hope.

Anxiously, they awaited Manager Qi. However, the news brought by Manager Qi dashed their last hope.

After informing Xu Yiming and the others, Manager Qi left, having no means to stay. Though he personally wished to help Faro Heaven’s cultivators, his influence was insignificant, unable to change anything.

”It seems we have no choice but to hand over the Black Crystal Stone,” one Immortal Rhythm Peak cultivator sighed.

”A million Black Crystal Stones isn’t too much,” another one said with a bitter smile.

”But... handing over a million Black Crystal Stones should prevent further consequences, but what about Brother Xu? That Xihua Immortal Venerable doesn’t seem inclined to let Brother Xu go easily!” A black-robed cultivator looked at Xu Yiming.

The Xihua Immortal Venerable declared that he hadn’t decided how to deal with Xu Yiming yet, and from his tone, it was unlikely he would let Xu Yiming off easily.

Xu Yiming’s expression turned somber.

If survival was possible, he’d prefer not to die. But against such a powerful adversary as the Xihua Immortal Venerable, he was powerless to resist, and even combined with all Faro Heaven’s cultivators, it was impossible to contend. On the Heavenly Domain Flying Boat, escape was impossible. Not only was it not possible to leave the Heavenly Domain Flying Boat, even if it were possible, the outside was the ethereal Chaotic Primordial Space, where he wouldn’t last long before perishing.

”My fellow Daoists, don’t worry about me anymore. Whatever the Xihua Immortal Venerable decides, I’ll accept it. At worst, it’s just death,” Xu Yiming chuckled.

”Damn Eastern Marvel Heaven!” One person cursed.

”Eastern Marvel Heaven has an Immortal Venerable Realm expert aboard the Flying Boat, we can’t compete. Damn, if only we Faro Heaven had an Immortal Venerable powerhouse to back us,” an Immortal Rhythm cultivator gritted his teeth.

”Hmm?” Someone’s expression slightly shifted, their gaze brightening.

”There might be a turning point in this matter,” this person suddenly seemed to recall something and looked at the others.

Xu Yiming and the others looked at this cultivator in confusion.

”When I boarded the Heavenly Domain Flying Boat, I encountered two high-ranking individuals who purchased High-level Ship Tickets. These two individuals spent forty billion Black Crystal Stones on two High-level Ship Tickets without a second thought. I imagine they aren’t ordinary,” he referred to Jing Yan and Wuxia.

This Immortal Rhythm Peak cultivator had witnessed Jing Yan buying two High-level Ship Tickets, standing not far behind Jing Yan and Wuxia.

”High-level Ship Tickets?”

”This... are those two individuals Immortal Venerable Realm experts?” The faces of several people became somewhat excited.

If those two individuals are indeed Immortal Venerable Realm cultivators, perhaps they could seek help.

”I don’t know whether those two are Immortal Venerable Realm experts, but the possibility seems quite high. How could someone with an Immortal Charm Realm casually afford so many Black Crystal Stones?” said the cultivator who witnessed Jing Yan and Wuxia.

The group exchanged looks.

”Even if those two are Immortal Venerable Realm experts, they may not wish to help us. Even if they are willing, handling the Xihua Immortal Venerable would be difficult. Manager Qi informed us that the Xihua Immortal Venerable is a Late Stage Immortal Venerable, with an extraordinary background,” an old Immortal Rhythm cultivator frowned.
