Iron-footed Liang seemed to have understood something. He clapped his hands, and Xiao Nuo, the watchman, and the security guard turned around in unison and walked out of the VIP hall.
Zhao Yu 'an looked at Bo Zai, who was still staring at the chips on the table with reluctance. He wanted to move his feet but couldn't. He sighed and said,""You can go out first."
Soon, only Iron-footed Liang and Zhao Yu 'an were left in the hall.
"You finally understand that I'm not here to gamble with you.”
Zhao Yu 'an saw that there was no one else around, and Iron-footed Liang probably understood his purpose for coming, so he spoke frankly and did not beat around the bush.
"Young Master, do you want to ask me something?”
"I heard from a friend that you are Tie Ba's famous 'Brother Understanding', so I specially came to visit you. It's really helpless to cause such a big commotion, and I really couldn't think of a better way.”
"Young Master didn't expose my little trick in front of everyone just now and gave me some face. I, Tie, am very grateful. I have a small doubt. I hope Young Master can help me clear it up.”
"May I ask if you are a Qi Master?”
Iron-footed Liang never stopped observing Zhao Yu 'an. He realized that he didn't cheat at all. When Xiao Nuo shuffled the cards, he didn't even look at the cards and placed his bets before the cards were dealt.
However, Zhao Yu 'an only raised his stakes when he was certain that he would win. This was clearly not the behavior of an ordinary gambler.
He also saw the pained expression on Zhao Yu 'an's face when he closed his eyes. He guessed that Zhao Yu' an was trying to resolve the issue.
All these unusual performances pointed to the extremely special profession of "Qi Master".
Zhao Yu 'an nodded and didn't retort.
Ironfoot's eyes lit up. He had traveled the Sick Realm for so many years and had only heard a little about the Qi Master. It was an honor to be able to see a living Qi Master today.
Hence, Iron-footed Liang hurriedly gestured for Zhao Yu 'an to sit down and discuss the details.
"Young Master, if you have any questions, feel free to ask.”
Zhao Yu 'an was overjoyed. At least his efforts were not in vain. So he opened his palm and showed the screenshot.
"Senior, do you know the person in the picture? This is a friend of mine. He has disappeared for a long time, and I really want to find him.”
Tie Jialiang adjusted his glasses and looked at it closely. He looked at it many times but still could not recognize the man in the picture.
Zhao Yu 'an was a little disappointed. He knew it wouldn't be that easy, so he asked,""Then may I ask if Senior knows what this badge represents?”
Tie Jialiang looked in the direction that Zhao Yu 'an was pointing at and his expression changed.
"How could this be? How could this be?"
Zhao Yu 'an heard Tie Jialiang's trembling voice and quickly asked,""What's wrong? Senior."
" That's the symbol of the black chain!"
Black chains?
"That was 560 years ago, when the last Ancient God of the Upper World died. At this point, the 55 gods who ascended and established the Upper World Domain in the history of the Realm of Stems have all disappeared.
The era of Divine Brilliance had come to an end.
It was said that the Upper Realm domains left behind by the ancient gods of the Upper Realm were buried with their divine power and endless treasures.
For many years, people had yearned to obtain the inheritance of the ancient gods and had thought of many ways to do so.
But no one succeeded.
Therefore, people were certain that only by reaching the realm of ascension could they go to the Upper Realm and explore the truth of the ancient god's inheritance.
However, the end of the Divine Brilliance Era not only took away the bodies and souls of the ancient gods, but also the method of ascension. In the years after that, none of the Pillar Heaven powerhouses who were alive could find the threshold of ascension and died one by one.
Hence, the Black Chain was born.
It was rumored that the leader of the Black Chains had learned a forbidden secret technique that could link the souls of his followers and sacrifice all their power to him. This would help him break through from the Pillar Heaven Realm and temporarily ascend.
After ascending, the leader of the black chains would reach the upper world of the ancient gods and absorb the power of the ancient gods to truly ascend to become a god.
After becoming a god, the leader of the black chains would revive the followers who sacrificed their souls for him and reward them with all the treasures of the ancient gods.
However, the leader did not fulfill his wish. Because the method of sacrificing souls was too evil, he was captured by the Light Society and burned to death.
After his death, a few of his loyal followers continued his unfinished business, but their momentum gradually faded and was eventually forgotten.
It was precisely because the emblem of the Light Union was a blazing sun that Black Chain had made their emblem into the shape of a black chain coiling around the sun, representing opposition and hatred.”
Zhao Yu 'an listened carefully to Iron-footed Liang's story. He was worried, and countless questions popped up in his mind.
Was this person who looked like Yang Yuan the Yang Yuan he knew?
If that was the case, how could Yang Yuan be involved in such a dark organization with his personality and moral character?
He remembered Nubber once saying that Yu An was the successor of the Black Fog Prison Tower's Upper Realm. Was there a connection between him and the Ancient Gods 'Upper Realm?
The strange celestial phenomenon was so similar to the badge. What kind of connection did the two have?
Zhao Yu 'an asked Ironfoot if he knew where Black Chains was active, the composition of their members, and whether they had appeared recently. All he got were answers that he didn't know.
At least he had obtained some useful information. Zhao Yu 'an didn't continue to pester him. He thanked Tie Jialiang and got up to leave.
Iron-footed Liang pulled Zhao Yu 'an back.
"Young man, wait a moment."
Tie Jialiang took out an unopened deck of cards from under the table and handed it to Zhao Yu 'an. He said,""I have a piece of advice for you."
Then, he signaled Zhao Yu 'an to open the box and shuffle the cards.
Zhao Yuan shuffled the cards according to the iron-footed master's arrangement and held the shuffled cards in his palm.
"Can you tell what the card at the top is?”
Zhao Yu 'an looked down at the pile of cards in his palm, but he couldn't see anything.
Iron-footed Liang sighed and shook his head mysteriously. After a long time, he slowly opened his mouth and said in an elder's tone,
"It's said that a Qi Master can observe the heavens and the earth, and can even predict the ups and downs of a person's life from the changes in their gossamer. However, they can't predict their own fate and future.
I don't know what you want to do, but from the questions you asked me today, you're already in danger.
Remember! Don't get too involved."
After saying that, Ironfoot turned over the topmost card in Zhao Yu 'an's hand. It was the 4 of Diamonds. Then, he walked to the side of the hall.
Zhao Yu 'an stared at the 4 of Diamonds thoughtfully for a while, then took it out and put it in his pocket.
After a while, the elevator doors opened, and Bo Zai, Xiao Nuo, and the security guards from the casino's VIP hall walked in again. Only the Mountain Realm guard was nowhere to be seen.
Zhao Yu 'an took out a one-million-dollar chip as a tip and handed it to Xiao Nuo, who was tidying up the table. Xiao Nuo didn't show much surprise, and he didn't even reach out to take it.
Zhao Yu 'an threw down the chips and handed the remaining nine million to Bo Zai. He said to him,""Go and pay your debts. Also, stop gambling.”
With that, he turned around and left.
Zhao Yu 'an glanced at the clock on the wall when he reached the lobby on the first floor. It had been five hours since he started gambling on dice. It was already eight o'clock at night.
"Ah! Nubo!"
Oh no, Zhao Yu 'an was so focused on acting that he forgot about Nubo at the bar. Thus, he pushed through the crowd and jogged to the bar counter.
"Nubo! Nubo!
At this moment, the bar counter was also packed with people. The men and women shouted Nubber's name in unison.
In the crowd, there was a giant man who stood out from the crowd. He was leaning against his neck and pouring a large amount of pale yellow liquid down his throat.
For a full five hours, Nubber drank without stopping. His throat was like a water pump. All the liquids that approached him were like a space plane that had encountered a black hole. They could not escape the powerful suction force and could not escape the fate of falling into the bottomless abyss.
Nubber quickly attracted some busybodies to compete with him in drinking capacity. However, the number of people lying down beside him increased one after another, and he was still very strong.
Zhao Yu 'an could only smile bitterly and squeeze through the crowd to get under him.
Zhao Yu 'an called out to Nubo in a low voice, but his voice was drowned out by the waves before it could reach Nubo's fur-covered ears.
"Hey, Nubber!" he shouted at the top of his lungs. Hey!"
Nubber lowered his head and saw that it was Zhao Yu 'an. His intoxicated expression instantly cleared up. Like a child hiding his beloved toy, he hurriedly hid his beer mug behind his back.
"I-I didn't drink…Burp... I didn't drink too much…"
Zhao Yu 'an found it funny. It seemed that " Yu' an " had forbidden Nubo from drinking alcohol, but he was like a wine barrel. So much alcohol had entered his body, but he still acted as if nothing had happened.
"Let's go. We'll drink when we have time in the future.”
Seeing that Nubber was leaving, the crowd dispersed in a hubbub.
Just as the two of them were about to walk out of the gambling den, the spectator of the Mountain Range Territory was escorting a man to a room on the side. The man was resisting fiercely, while the spectator in black was talking to the voice in the earpiece.
"That's right, we just caught a cheater.
He found out that there was no special background.
Then should we kill him?"
Zhao Yu 'an only reacted when he heard the voice of the black-robed spectator getting further and further away.
So it was like this.
