Following Yan Yun's cold laugh, it signified that the last shred of respect for her master within her had completely vanished in this game.
Li Yingling and Chen Baiqing naturally welcomed this development and without hesitation, chose to gang up on the Sect Leader.
The many Item Cards they had drawn began to be hurled at the Sect Leader.
Sect Leader Lü Xuan's joy didn't last long before he was met with a combined assault from everyone.
The smile quickly vanished from Sect Leader Lü Xuan's face and reappeared on Yan Yun's, as if she had avenged a great grievance.
A Master who would betray their own disciples!
They deserved to be punished severely!
Lü Xuan was quickly eliminated in the siege, and the little money he had left was all handed over to Li Yingling as land fee.
As the snowball grew larger, Li Yingling became the player with the most land and buildings.
If the dice happened to land on Li Yingling's territory, one would at least lose a layer of skin just to get out.
Those with little money would even have to sell their own land on the spot just to continue playing.
Naturally, after Lü Xuan's defeat, Yan Yun naturally became the target of the attack.
A few rounds later, she was also naturally eliminated.
The remaining Li Yingling, Chen Baiqing, and Bai Xuanling were basically just playing around at will.
Chen Baiqing was the third to be eliminated, followed by Bai Xuanling as the second.
Chu Xichen also thoughtfully created an MVP summary screen.
The chibi version of Li Yingling slowly ascended the throne symbolizing wealth, then with a wave of her hand, her expression seemed calm and composed. This time, with voiceover, she sighed as if in thought:
"The wind today is rather boisterous."
Seeing this, Li Yingling's eyes lit up, and she looked joyfully at her own master.
As expected, when it came to games, her own master had real class.
The way she said it did have a bit of her own personality.
Also, in her master's words, that was so pretentious!
Lü Xuan was not surprised by the game's outcome. After all, for someone with such immense luck, playing a dice game was practically a sure thing.
Chu Xichen spoke up: "The winner, please choose one of the defeated players to execute the ultimate punishment!"
Lü Xuan sighed lightly in his heart, his gaze naturally fixing on Li Yingling. Things had come to this point; everyone had turned against him, even his beloved disciple had thrown a heavy punch at him.
As the Sect Leader, the most important thing was to be aware of the situation.
His face was already lost anyway, so what could the ultimate punishment do?
He had survived being force-fed pills on the Tianyan Peak by Bai Xuanling back in the day. What was there now that he couldn't endure?!
Unless it was making him swallow another one of those damn Ten Great Tonics!
Qing He's face was twitching with excitement, as if wanting to say something, but was held back by Cui Hao with one hand.
Although Cui Hao's cultivation was only at the Foundation Establishment stage, he could suppress an Infant Transformation Stage flood dragon with a backhand, relying on one skill—the "Divvying Up the Spoils" method.
Qing He glanced sideways at his newly certified black-hearted junior—Cui Hao.
He saw Cui Hao staring straight at him, as if trying to speak with his eyes.
Qing He was instantly speechless. Why was everyone in this sect the same?
It was as if everyone could understand just by exchanging glances. Eyes can't talk, and it's not like you don't have a mouth.
Just speak up!
Qing He really couldn't understand!
But this black-hearted junior had a bit of Chu Xichen in him, so he probably knew what she was thinking. Stopping her must have meant he understood something.
Although she didn't understand what Cui Hao's gaze meant, Qing He also stared wide-eyed at him—Hurry up and deal with Yan Yun! What's with all this Sect Leader nonsense!
After glaring at Cui Hao, Qing He retracted her gaze, her expression relaxed—You guys are so good at reading glances, aren't you?
Cui Hao just chuckled lightly, then nodded slightly:
"Sorry, I forgot you can't read them. But I can, so don't worry."
Qing He's eyes widened.
Damn... these people?
Could this be an innate ability of the human race?
Before Qing He could recover from her shock, Li Yingling's voice came:
"Senior Bai has also often taught me to respect my elders and care for the young, so... I choose Senior Yan Yun for the final punishment."
Qing He looked up at Cui Hao again, then looked at Li Yingling, who had a somewhat innocent smile on her face.
As expected, you can judge a master by their disciple...
Although Chu Xichen was black-hearted, he was indeed formidable.
Not only was Qing He shocked, but so was Lü Xuan.
Lü Xuan, who was prepared to lose all remaining face, looked at Li Yingling with shock and astonishment.
And... this kind of good thing?
Truly a person with great fortune, she had real taste and such excellent character!
Although there wasn't much face left to lose, losing a bit more didn't matter much.
But watching others lose face was also interesting.
After all, if the ultimate punishment was on him, no one would be curious what it was.
But if it was on someone else!
Look!
Look hard!
This Li Yingling was such a good child!
Lü Xuan suppressed his joy and looked over at Yan Yun.
The rebellious disciple who had thrown a heavy punch at him also deserved a severe punishment.
Yan Yun's expression was also a bit surprised, but she quickly calmed down and nodded lightly:
"Fine... what is this ultimate punishment?"
To admit defeat when everyone could choose you was the right call. After all, you could only blame yourself for losing.
Chu Xichen, with a smile, took out a stack of cards with skulls drawn on the back from his spatial ring.
Yan Yun didn't hesitate and reached for the cards in Chu Xichen's hand.
She flipped one over.
[Treat everyone to a grand meal]
Yan Yun looked at Chu Xichen in astonishment, but saw Chu Xichen lightly gesturing toward Xie Lingyu beside him.
Clearly... this ultimate punishment card was likely the only act of cheating in the entire game.
Yan Yun's gaze fell on Xie Lingyu, and she lightly pursed her lips.
Xie Lingyu was the first to speak: "I suppose I don't need to be holding onto these things anymore, right?"
Qing He quickly chimed in:
"You should keep them! They look good!"
Xie Lingyu's eyes narrowed slightly as she looked at the audacious Qing He.
No one objected to the punishment drawn, nor did anyone mention any foul play.
Everyone went straight from the teleportation array of Zhufeng Peak to the Great Canteen of Tianyan Sect—Zhiwei Ju.
Thus, the Sect Leader successfully avoided a group of elders and disciples currently ambushing outside Zhufeng Peak.
Everyone was still in high spirits, except for Qing He.
At this moment, Qing He held a magic wand in one hand and a fairy wand in the other, with a somewhat abstract... salted fish drawn on one side of his face.
Because Qing He had said they looked good, Xie Lingyu had indulged the certain flood dragon.
Fortunately, there weren't many people in Zhiwei Ju at this moment.
After all, the prices in Zhiwei Ju weren't exactly cheap. Besides satisfying one's gluttony, spending spirit stones to eat here was truly less effective than just swallowing some pills.
Relying on the Tianyan Sect Leader's fame, Zhiwei Ju quickly opened the most luxurious and best-viewed private room.
You could make jokes about the Tianyan Sect Leader, but you couldn't say the Sect Leader's cooking was bad.
A person who could lead one of the Eighteen Immortal Sects of the Central Continent was by no means a mediocre person.
After entering the private room, Qing He, adopting the attitude that not eating one's money's worth would be foolish, started ordering page by page, his little mouth not stopping from the moment he entered.
Lü Xuan didn't mind it either. After taking his seat, he looked at Chu Xichen and said with a light laugh:
"I heard that some time ago, fellow Daoist suppressed Yangzi Yuyang at the Wuxuan Guan. I pride myself on knowing little about the affairs of the Central Continent, yet I never expected someone like fellow Daoist to be hidden here."
Chu Xichen smiled and said: "I'm hardly a personage, and calling me fellow Daoist is too much."
"Not at all, and fellow Daoist is being too humble," Lü Xuan said with a serious expression. "I know exactly what Yuyang is capable of; even Yan Yun is probably only six-four against him."
Even among the Eighteen Immortal Sects, the cost of cultivating a top-tier expert like Yuyang or Yan Yun was staggering.
It was even rarer to encounter a cultivator with the potential for such top-tier experts.
Yet, almost everyone beside Chu Xichen was one.
Especially that little girl named Chen Baiqing.
Just a little girl at the Golden Core stage.
And Lü Xuan couldn't perceive her path of fate at all.
