"Are you a man or not? You don't even dare to accept my challenge. You're a disgrace to men. I'm here to challenge you again …"
The man raised his head in disdain and shouted at Qin Chuan.
Pa!
Qin Chuan didn't even wait for him to finish speaking. Without hesitation, he slapped him across the face. Although this slap wouldn't kill him, he lost a mouthful of teeth. His head buzzed, and he had a splitting headache.
"Scram. If you say another word, I'll kill you," said Qinchuan coldly.
The man ran away in fear.
He was a messenger, and it was said that he wouldn't make things difficult for the messenger. For example, the previous messenger was fine, but this time, he came, and if he succeeded, he would even be credited. He came to provoke Qin Chuan, and this man believed that he was quite eloquent, and provoking people was his forte, so he came.
But he hadn't expected Lin Fan to attack him. He didn't even give him a chance to speak. His eloquence was useless.
If he spoke again, he would die. So he ran away in fear. He didn't want to stay any longer.
Qin Chuan had only wanted to ignore them. They really wanted to climb all over him. He had thought that the Hall of Laws would be at peace for a while, but it had only been a month. It seemed they weren't willing to just let it go. Thinking about it, it made sense. Over a hundred people had died.
He had to work hard on his cultivation. As long as he broke through to the Half-Celestial Stage, they would have to stop even if they didn't want to.
Actually, many people were paying attention to the Hall of Rules and the Wargod Temple.
Originally, Waterfront City's War God Temple could be considered a powerful force. However, it couldn't rank within the top ten of the Northern Frontier Empire. However, ever since the conflict with the Hall of Laws, the War God Temple's fame had risen greatly. This caused some people who had designs on Waterfront City to give up on that idea.
Even if the Wargod Temple wasn't as strong as the Hall of Rules, they were at least at that level. They had entered a new circle.
But for now, everyone was waiting to see what would happen. If the War God Temple could hold on, they'd make some new friends. After all, there were many people who had conflicts with the Hall of Laws. The enemy of an enemy was a friend. So as long as the War God Temple could hold on, there would be other powers that stood on the same line as the War God Temple.
This time, the news that Qinchuan had beaten up the Hall of Rules spread.
This caused the Hall of Laws to be incomparably gloomy. They hadn't expected Qin Chuan to be the one to issue the challenge. Although there were no explicit rules against fighting those who went to issue the challenge, almost no one dared to do so. Of course, there were people who had fought and even killed people, but their reputation had been ruined.
Who would have thought that Qinchuan would do it?
What the Hall of Laws was depressed about was whether or not they should advertise. Advertising could tarnish the reputation of Qin Creek and the War God Temple, but it would also make the Hall of Laws seem incompetent.
While they were still hesitating about whether or not to publicize it, someone had already started to publicize it. Therefore, this matter soon spread out.
When the Hall of Laws saw this, they decided to spread the news as well. The main point was that Qinchuan didn't dare accept the challenge.
Hopefully, he could win back some of the Hall of Laws' face.
Qinchuan had rejected two challenges from the Hall of Laws.
But many people understood that the Hall of Laws had invited Qinchuan to fight the Empire's Rooftop. That was a shameless act. If Qinchuan didn't agree, it wouldn't be shameful.
But three days later, while the Hall of Laws was still promoting Qinchuan as a coward, the War God Temple announced that they would accept the Hall of Laws' challenge, but they would have to place a bet.
If the Hall of Laws dared, then they could accept it. If they didn't, then they shouldn't spout out their own nonsense.
Qinchuan directly threw the problem to the Hall of Laws.
At first, everyone was still discussing it. The Hall of Laws had even announced that Qinchuan was a coward, that he wasn't manly enough, that he didn't dare accept the challenge. He didn't even have the courage to accept the challenge …
At that moment, the War God Temple announced that they had accepted the challenge. The Hall of Laws was like a clown, or rather, like a shrew. They only dared to talk. After all, everyone knew the Hall of Laws' character. If they were confident they wouldn't be able to defeat the War God Temple, they would have gone already.
The War God Temple accepted the challenge. The Hall of Laws once again sent someone to the War God Temple to discuss the bet.
This time, Beitang Fengyun went.
After all, they had already fought before.
When Qinchuan saw Beitang Fengyun, it was already a few days later.
When Qinchuan saw Beitang Fengyun, he smiled. "Should I congratulate you for becoming the Great Elder again?"
Qinchuan naturally knew a lot of things.
"I suddenly feel like the Hall of Laws made a mistake by provoking you. Unfortunately, I can't make the decision. If I could, even if I ended up being useless, I wouldn't have come to provoke you." Beitang Fengyun bitterly smiled.
Qinchuan was stunned. Then he smiled. "Unfortunately, you're from the Hall of Laws. Otherwise, we might be able to drink and chat merrily. We might even become friends." Qinchuan laughed.
"Yes. But I don't treat you as an enemy. Right now, I'm representing myself. When we discuss the bet, I'll represent the Hall of Laws," said Beitang Fengyun.
"Then let's discuss the bet first. Once we're done, I'll treat you to a drink. Do you dare to drink?" asked Qinchuan.
"Alright. What is Mister Qin's bet?" asked Beitang Fengyun.
"Fifty thousand-year-old Scarlet Pistachios," said Qinchuan.
Beitang Fengyun sucked in a breath of cold air.
Thousand-year-old Scarlet Pistachios were resources controlled by the Hall of Laws. They were Scarlet Pistachios that surpassed ten thousand years of age. They were considered heavenly materials and earthly treasures. But Qinchuan wanted fifty of them, and they were all thousand-year-old Scarlet Pistachios. A thousand-year-old Scarlet Pistachios! That was roughly the same amount as a cultivator's lifetime.
"Isn't that too much? Even the Hall of Laws doesn't have that much." Beitang Fengyun bitterly smiled.
"Since I said that, it means the Hall of Laws has it. As for whether you accept it or not, that's up to you." Qinchuan smiled.
"Even if we accept it, what will Mister Qin bet?" asked Beitang Fengyun.
"You're challenging us. Do we still need to bet?" asked Qinchuan.
"Since it's a bet, then we'll have to bet." Beitang Fengyun was speechless.
"Fine. We'll bet ten death-exemption medallions," said Qinchuan.
Beitang Fengyun was dumbfounded. That was a huge sum. Death-Exemption medallions!
Qinchuan knew that Beitang Fengyun was doubtful. So, he directly took out ten death-exemption medallions.
That shocked Beitang Fengyun. After all, how could someone who could take out ten death-exemption medallions be simple? Even the Hall Master of Laws didn't have the ability to take out ten death-exemption medallions at once.
