I am collecting entries in reincarnation

Chapter 975 Gambling
"Haha, so what? If I had known that you were not so good as you, I would have been a villain in vain." Venerable Huo Lian looked very disappointed, but what he said made Xu Sanquan and Xuan He furious. However, they could do nothing but accept it as he was indeed one step ahead of them.

Wusheng said calmly, "Since you are willing to admit it, I have a plan that will not damage the harmony between you and me. How about we make a bet? You let your disciples set up this formation, and I will let one of my juniors enter the formation. If we can break the formation, even if I am lucky enough to win, I will then release my useless disciple. Of course, as for the serious mistake my disciple made, I will naturally not let it go so easily. I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer, how about that?"

Venerable Huo Lian's eyes spun around, and he felt a little tempted, but he still said coldly, "You can just say you won, but even if my disciple's cultivation is not enough, even the small Four Elements Sword Formation is definitely not something that can be broken by anyone below the Nascent Soul stage. I want to ask you, what if he can't break my formation?"

Wusheng was fearless and said calmly, "If I lose, not only will you let my disciple do whatever he wants with you, but you can also ask for anything you want. Even if it means reaching up to the sky to grab the moon or descending to the netherworld to search for souls, even if it means risking my own old bones, I will never refuse!"

Upon hearing this, Venerable Huo Lian was a little surprised. After all, these words carried a lot of weight, and they were not the only two here. Xuan He and Xu Sanquan were also present. They were all Nascent Soul Immortals and well-known figures. If they went out, they would not only establish a sect, but also become powerful elders. They were all top-notch masters, so who wouldn't want some face?
"You're so confident. Are you sure you can defeat me?"

Huo Lian was a little confused, but she still said proudly: "I won't make it difficult for you. If you lose, not only will I not kill your disciple, I will also spare his life."

"Thank you very much, fellow Taoist." Wusheng thanked him repeatedly.

But Huo Lian sneered, "Don't be too happy just yet. I'm not killing him because I'm being soft-hearted. I want to punish him. I want him to kneel every three steps and bow every ten steps from the shore of the East China Sea to the front of Kunwu Mountain. He's not allowed to fly or use magic weapons. He can only kneel firmly, one step at a time!"

This is more painful than killing him. Kunwu Mountain is more than ten thousand miles away from the East China Sea. Even if one has the Jindan cultivation level, it will take more than one or two days to reach there by flying, let alone kneeling every three steps and bowing every ten steps. By the time he kneels and bows to Kunwu Mountain, it may take decades!
The expression of the Wusheng Patriarch changed slightly, and then he glanced at Li Ming without leaving any trace. Seeing that Li Ming's attitude was natural and not shaken at all, he smiled and said, "Okay, okay. If you lose the bet, I will never say anything."

"Master! What's wrong with you?" Fang Xiang was trapped by a shiny rope at the moment. His magic power could not be used. His clothes were messy, his hair was disheveled, and he looked extremely embarrassed. He pleaded when he heard the conversation above.

"Master, I was captured by this small Four Elements Sword Formation. It's very powerful. How could my fellow disciples break it? Isn't this just pushing the disciples into the fire pit?"

"Shut up, you shameless beast!" The Wusheng Patriarch shouted angrily, "If it weren't for you, this ignorant evildoer, who caused this incident, I, the ancestor, would have been so happy in my quiet cultivation on the island, and there would be no disaster today. When you return, I will show you how I will deal with you!!!"

Ancestor Wusheng had accumulated power for a long time, and after being scolded by him, Fang Xiang immediately wilted like an eggplant hit by frost, with his head down, not knowing what he was thinking about.

At this time, Wusheng called out, "My friend, you've had a hard time this time."

Li Ming stepped forward and said with a smile, "It's okay, it's all expected. Just don't forget what you promised me, senior."

Wusheng nodded repeatedly, but his heart seemed to be bleeding.

The Fire Lotus's eyes fixed on Li Ming, and she said loudly, "I think I've seen you before. Aren't you Wusheng's disciple?" Li Ming nodded gently and said, "I'm Luo Zhen's disciple. I was also on Black Dragon Island three days ago and met you once."

"Luo Zhen?" Huo Lian said. He knew the name of the first immortal sect overseas, but his version was a little outdated, and he still thought that Luo Zhen's disciples were a mixed bunch. Although he looked at Li Ming carefully and knew that his cultivation was not low, he did not take it to heart and just said.

"Boy, don't blame me for not warning you. My little Four Elements Sword Formation is no joke. Once you enter the formation and the Four Elements circulate, even a Yuanying Loose Immortal may not be able to break it. How can you rely on you? Haha. I advise you to go home as soon as possible. This matter has nothing to do with you!"

Although Huo Lian had a foul mouth, what he said was not wrong. He was also unwilling to provoke Luo Zhen for no reason. After all, he was a Jindan disciple, and he might have some complicated relationships within Luo Zhen's sect, which would make things more troublesome. So he still wanted to persuade Li Ming to retreat.

But Li Ming smiled and said, "I have heard of the Four Elements Sword Formation for a long time (I heard about it three days ago). Since we have the chance to see it today, how can I miss it? I hope you can help me."

Huo Lian saw that Li Mingsheng had a good appearance, a tall stature, a natural Taoist temperament, a Yin-Yang scarf on his head, and was wearing a dark Taiyi robe. He was handsome and had an elegant appearance, full of ethereal aura and was extraordinary. What was even more rare was that his behavior was neither humble nor arrogant, which was truly rare in the world.

Even the Fire Lotus Venerable felt a little bit of admiration for his talent, and immediately shook his head and said: "Alas, you young man really don't know how to appreciate my kindness. Forget it, Liuming, Yaozu, please show mercy and don't hurt his life."

The sword-wielding disciples below immediately responded in unison, and then Huo Lian spoke again.

"Let's be frank. If you rely on my words to fight to the death in the formation and my disciples are unwilling to disobey my orders and save you, then this gamble will never end."

Li Ming was slightly startled. He had not expected Huo Lian to say such a thing. Then he smiled and said, "Senior, don't worry too much. Let's set a time. If I can't break the formation, I lose."

Huo Lian nodded gently. "You are quite open-minded, young man. I like you. Well, well, I won't bully you. I will give you three days. Even if you can't break the formation in just three days, I will still consider you the winner. However, if your magic power is insufficient and my disciples send you out of the formation, you will naturally be considered the loser."

Upon hearing this, Li Ming simply smiled and said, "Senior is indeed generous. However, three days is too long. I feel guilty about wasting your time, so I will limit it to three hours. If I cannot break the formation within three hours, I lose!"

This sentence was said in a decisive and decisive manner. Although he still looked calm and composed, it shocked everyone around him. Even the most confident ancestor Wusheng couldn't help but lower his voice and ask.

"My dear nephew, please don't do anything stupid!"
