<h4>Chapter 184 Vast Heaven Gambling Den</h4>


    Ningzhe City.


    Vast Heaven Gambling Den.


    "No more bets, no more bets. To have the heart to win, you must have the courage to lose. Buy big and if I open big, you walked here but get to go home in a carriage. Buy big and if I open small, you came in finery but go home in your underpants." An elegant and gorgeousdy with a lithe figure, dressed in in clothes and a blue robe, sat cross-legged on top of the gaming table. She was shaking a treasure box in her hand as she called out amon casino saying, "ce your bets? ce your bets?"


    The gamblers whose drool had nearly reached the ground nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes."


    However, these gamblers had long lost their heart to gamble. They swallowed as they ogled thedy’s plump breasts, their eyes not even on the treasure box. But, they could only dare to look and lust, because right next to thedy was a young man. The young man didn’t look terribly scary, but the scary thing was, he’s fully equipped with seven swords!


    And the most conspicuous thing about this man and thisdy was that on the back of their clothes was written arge word ‘gamble’!


    "Shifu, Third Citymaster specifically reminded me not to enter a gambling den…" Luo Mingxuan said with despair.


    "Am I your shifu, or is Sikong Changfeng your shifu?" Yin Luoxia red at him.


    "But…" Luo Mingxuan scratched his head. "Shifu, you’re a guest from outside. How did you be the dealer?"


    "Nonsense. I, Yin Luoxia, have been gambling for more than 20 years. The house always wins!" With a "pah", Yin Luoxia mmed the treasure box onto the table, and her eyes, full of charm, made one round around the table. "I’ll ask onest time. Have you ced your bets!"


    "Yes!" Everyone ced their bets.


    "Okay." Yin Luoxia lifted the lid of the treasure box.


    The whole hall was in an uproar.


    Three sixes. A triple.


    "House wins all." Yin Luoxia flung the treasure box aside and patted Luo Mingxuan on the head. "My dear disciple, collect the money."


    Luo Mingxuan sighed, picked up the cloth bag and gathered the silver pieces. "Shifu, we’ve won enough already. If you win any more, the bag will overflow. It’s also gettingte. We must hurry and continue on our way."


    "What''s the hurry? The Heroes Banquet is long over. Are you rushing there to eat their leftovers?" Yin Luoxia said disdainfully.


    "Then shifu is thinking of…" Luo Mingxuan was puzzled.


    "The gambling den is full of dragons and fishes jumbled together. All kinds of news can be found here, those that people can know and those that people cannot know." Yin Luoxia put down the treasure box in her hand and sat on the gaming table with her long legs dangling as she spoke mildly, "See, the news hase on its own."


    The group of gamblers who’d been surrounding the gambling table immediately scattered like the wind. A middle-aged man with a big belly and fine clothes came over escorted by a whole entourage of attendants. He squinted his eyes and stared at Yin Luoxia. "Is that her?"


    One of the attendants came up. "With respect to Huangoban, that’s her. She’s been winning for the whole afternoon in the gambling den."


    Huang nodded his head. "Check the box in her hand."


    "Yes." The attendant nodded and turned to Yin Luoxia. "Thisdy, please let this one have the box in your hand to take a look."


    "No." Yin Luoxia smashed the box against the ground, shattering it to pieces.


    The attendant started, turned his head to look at Huang. But, Huang wasn’t angry at all. He simply stared at Yin Luoxia in a daze, his eyes drooling covetously. "You don’t have to give us the box if you don’t want to, but you, I want you." The attendant immediately knew what the boss meant, and waved his hand. "How audacious. How dare youe to our Vast Heaven Gambling Den and cheat. Take her." Five or six other attendants immediately drew their des and rushed forward.


    Yin Luoxia stretched her backzily and rubbed Luo Mingxuan''s head. "My dear disciple, do me a favour and take them all down. Then, grab that fattest one over. I have questions for him."


    "This disciple obeys!" Luo Mingxuan waved his hand, and a long sword was already in his hand. He flicked the long sword lightly. The attendants who were about to run over with their raised des yelled out loud and stopped in their tracks. They stared nkly at the empty hilts in their hands while a handful of des fell onto the ground.


    "What the hell!" A person eximed, and after they’d reacted one after another and were about to run, Luo Mingxuan swung another sword. Those people saw a sh in front of their eyes. They looked at each other, checked themselves from top to bottom, realized they were safe and sound, and joyously proimed, "I think we’re okay."


    Huang also came back to his senses. "What are you standing there for? Take them!"


    The attendants immediately ran forward again, but as soon as they moved, one after another, their pants dropped to their ankles. They tripped over each other and fell to the ground, wailing.


    The attendant in charge of the others was also dumbfounded and he turned to look at Huang. "This is…"


    "Picked the wrong fight. Run!" Although Huang was fat, he was agile when he moved. He turned around and ran for the door.


    Luo Mingxuan jumped into the air andnded right in front of Huang with a smile. "Thisoban, my shifu invited you over." After speaking, he grabbed his cor and jumped back to Yin Luoxia’s side.


    Huang was so frightened that he knelt onto the ground. "Fairy have mercy, fairy have mercy! This lowly one was blind and didn’t know! Don’t kill me, ah, fairy, don’t kill me!"


    "I''m not some big demon head. I won’t kill you. Good boy." Yin Luoxia smiled, supporting her chin with her hand, and leaned over to look. “But, I wouldn’t put it past me to dig out your eyes and break one of your arms to make up for the disrespect you showed earlier. It all depends on whether you can answer my questions."


    "Fairy, please ask anything you like. This lowly one will tell you everything I know, and leave nothing out! As long as it is within a hundred miles of Ningzhe City, there is nothing this lowly one doesn’t know!" Huang continued to grovel with his forehead hitting the ground. There was no trace of that swaggering local boss left in his bearing.


    "Very good. It just happens to be within a hundred miles." Yin Luoxia tapped her chin lightly. "Do you know about Lei n Fort’s Heroes Banquet?"


    Huang hesitated. "This one… of course I know."


    "This year''s martial arts tournament, which sect came in first?" Yin Luoxia asked.


    Huang shook his head. "There was no tournament this year."


    "No?" Yin Luoxia raised her eyebrows.


    Huang knelt down again. "Fairy, there really wasn’t one. They said that this time, during the Heroes Banquet, the underworld assassination organisation Hidden River somehow sneaked in and poisoned the guests from the martial world who were attending the banquet. It was Lei n Fort’s n Leader Lei Qianhu and Tang n’s Grandmaster Tang who stopped them in a desperate all out fight. But, Lei n Fort was also hit hard and this Heroes Banquet thus ended early."


    "A desperate all out fight?" Yin Luoxia frowned slightly. "To make these two go all out in a fight, the Hidden River must have sent their Heads of Houses."


    "Fairy, forgive me!" Huang suddenly eximed.


    "Are you lying?" Luo Mingxuan said angrily, and swung his long sword until it stopped against the man’s neck.


    Huang trembled in fright. "This lowly one dare not, this lowly one dare not. It''s just that I used the wrong words just now, and I’m afraid the fairy misunderstood. The two n leaders didn’t go all out in a fight to the death… they really died in battle.”


    "What?" Yin Luoxia was startled, and her expression changed drastically. "Lei Qianhu and the Grandmaster are dead?"


    "This one wouldn’t dare to deceive the fairy. Most of the martial sectsing back from Lei n Fort will pass through this Ningzhe City. Although there were some differences in their stories, these two n leaders had truly died. It was the Lei n Fort people who made the announcement. Right now, the head of Lei n Fort has been reced by Lei Qianhu''s own brother, Lei Yunhe!" Huang exined hurriedly when he saw the fairy''s expression change suddenly.


    "What about Snow Moon City? Where were the disciples sent by Snow Moon City?" Luo Mingxuan hurriedly asked.


    "They said those disciples were all injured and are now recuperating in Lei n Fort." Huang was internally shocked. He’d been in the gambling business for many years and didn’t know any martial arts, but his skills of observation and performance were top rate. He came to the realisation that the two people in front of him right now must be rted to Snow Moon City, the number one city in the martial world.


    "Shifu." Luo Mingxuan looked at Yin Luoxia.


    Yin Luoxia frowned slightly, looking thoughtful, and murmured, "The Hidden River has only ever carried out a job for money. Who could have paid such a high price to hire them for such a ruthless deal?"


    Huang overheard Yin Luoxia’s words to herself and voluntarily replied, "I heard people say that it may be Unrivaled City! This time, because Lei n Fort was the host, all the sects rted to Unrivaled City did not attend the banquet. And there are only a handful of people in the martial world who can afford such a price!"


    "Understood." Yin Luoxia kicked the boss, Huang, out of the room. Then, she jumped off the gaming table and patted Luo Mingxuan on the shoulder. "My dear disciple, let''s go."


    "We’re going to Lei n Fort?" Luo Mingxuan asked.


    "No." Yin Luoxia''s eyes lit up. "We’re going to Unrivaled City.”
