Chapter 167 You didn't regret it, you just lost the gamble.
Looking at Wang Teng's scoundrel-like face, the veins on Li Deyang's forehead throbbed violently twice.
Immediately, Li Deyang looked at the "rogue" in front of him with a dark face and a helpless expression!
"Get to the point if you have something to say, otherwise get the hell out of here!"
Wang Teng laughed, pointing at Li Deyang and saying, "Li Deyang, you're ungrateful, you're heartless, you... sob sob."
Before Wang Teng could finish speaking, Li Deyang quickly covered his mouth with his hand.
"Alright, alright, I'll thank you for everything before. Now, tell me what you want from me?"
Wang Teng had a smug look on his face.
"Old Li, let me tell you, I'm here to help you!"
Seeing Li Deyang's disbelieving expression, Wang Teng directly revealed the answer.
"Lingbao Tianzun, does that sound familiar?"
Li Deyang's expression turned serious: "Hmm...? Heavenly Venerable, what's wrong with him?"
Wang Teng recounted the recent events to Li Deyang.
Finally, Wang Teng patted Li Deyang on the shoulder: "Old Li, tell me, he could totally use this as a deal. After all, his family has raised Lingbao for so many years, do you think Lingbao will forget them in the future?"
Li Deyang said coldly, "Heh, that's because he thinks he's smarter than the Heavenly Venerable. In his plan, the Heavenly Venerable is dispensable. Alright, release him!"
Wang Teng flicked his wrist, and a middle-aged man in a suit, tightly bound by a golden rope, rolled out.
Baili Xin was quite resolute; after coming out, he stood there without saying a word, instead reading a couplet on the wall with great interest.
"In the mortal realm, you have committed countless heinous crimes. In the underworld, who has ever escaped your fate? You've finally arrived! Haha, young man, your name is Wang Teng, right? You don't need to use these underworld tricks to scare me. Since you've won, then the victor is king and the loser is an outlaw. You can do whatever you want."
"Bai Lixin, everyone says you're exceptionally intelligent, but in my opinion, you're nothing special. You pride yourself on your wisdom, but why are you so... towards Fatty..."
Baili Xin snorted coldly: "Hmph, he's not even a member of the Baili family! He's been a shield for our Baili family for so many years, but he's also enjoyed it all. Tell me, what more could he want? Just for the kindness our Baili family has shown him, if I wanted his life, he should offer it to me and contribute to our Baili family."
"I'll give you a piece of my mind, you old cabbage, I really can't stand what you're saying."
As he spoke, Wang Teng kicked Baili Xin to the ground and then proceeded to kick him wildly.
Wang Teng spat at Baili Xin, who was rolling on the ground, and then said with a smile, "Old man, let me tell you, you really wanted to pick up a sesame seed but threw away a watermelon. Hmm~, no, I should say you wanted to pick up a penny but ended up losing your family's gold and silver mountain!"
At this point, Wang Teng lowered his voice: "Haha, Baili Xin, do you know the true background of Baili Tuming?"
Baili Xin scoffed, "Of course I know. I bought him on the black market. His parents were a pair of gambling addicts who sold their child for a mere tens of thousands of yuan. Alright, don't try to make me regret it with underhanded tricks! Let me tell you, I, Baili Xin, never regret what I do. The reason I failed this time was simply because I underestimated the strength of your special team."
Wang Teng looked at Baili Xin with pity.
"Hehe, Baili Xin, you've missed the chance for your Baili family to truly rise to prominence. What if I told you that Baili Tuming was a deity in China in his previous life?"
"immortal?"
Baili Xin scoffed, "Haha, kid, don't try to fool this old man. Even a three-year-old knows the truth: the Great Xia has no gods!!!"
"You say the Great Xia has no gods, then look and see who he is?"
Baili Xin looked up and his face instantly froze on the spot, motionless.
Li Deyang, who was originally standing next to Wang Teng, suddenly transformed into the true form of the Fengdu Emperor.
The Emperor of Fengdu was dressed in a ceremonial robe, wearing a crown with twelve tassels, a black robe embroidered with the twelve symbols, a crimson knee-covering, and cloud-patterned shoes.
Looking at the hundreds-of-meters-tall body of the Fengdu Emperor, Baili Xin's eyes widened, and he muttered, "Fake, fake, all of this is fake. Didn't we agree that the Great Xia has no gods, the Great Xia has no gods, this is an illusion, you can't fool me."
However, it was easy to tell from Baili Xin's flustered voice that he knew all of this was true.
After all, the overwhelming divine power of the Fengdu Emperor cannot be lied to.
Wang Teng said softly, "Several hundred years ago, when the mist came, the gods of the Great Xia Dynasty shattered their Heavenly Court and divine bodies to protect the Great Xia from the mist's invasion, transforming into nine national guardian steles to block the mist's advance. Now, the gods of the Great Xia Dynasty have also gradually broken through the mysteries of their past lives and regained their memories."
"Then who was Baili Tuming in his previous life?"
Wang Teng looked at Baili Xin with a sympathetic expression: "Hehe, his predecessor was one of the Three Pure Ones of Taoism - Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun, also known as Lingbao Jun or Yuchen Dadao Jun, who holds the second highest position in the Thirty-Three Heavens, 'Yuyu Heaven Shangqing Immortal Realm'. Old man, have you ever heard of Shangqing Wuliang, who opens the calamity and saves people!"
"Hehehehe..."
Looking at Baili Xin, who seemed to be insane, Wang Teng continued his barrage of words: "Haha, it's not over yet. You think your Baili family has been so powerful all these years because of your strategic planning and your own awesomeness? Bullshit! That's all thanks to Meng Pangpang. It's his Heavenly Venerable Luck that's suppressing your Baili family. Have you ever heard the saying, 'When fortune smiles, heaven and earth lend their strength; when fortune turns, even heroes are powerless'?"
"Bai Lixin, because you abandoned Fatty, your Bai Li family has lost the opportunity for one person to attain enlightenment and for the whole family to rise to prominence. Haha, you've already devoted so many years of effort to becoming a high-ranking member of the Great Xia Night Watch. Bai Lixin, now that you've lost the chance to become a god in the Great Xia, I ask you, do you regret it or not!"
Baili Xin said with a half-laugh, half-crying expression, "Haha, regret? Of course I regret it, but..."
Li Deyang chuckled: "Pfft, why are you talking so much? And stop joking, are you regretting it? You just lost the bet and knew I was going to take care of you."
As he spoke,
Li Deyang waved his right hand, and Baili Xin disappeared from the spot.
"Alright, Wang Teng, I've already sent him to the eighteenth level of hell so he can experience it properly. Heh, tongue-pulling, scissors, the mirror of retribution, mountains of knives, seas of fire... I'll make sure he suffers a different kind of torture every day for three hundred years, thoroughly cleansing the filth from his soul. I've already taken him into custody. Go back to where you came from. Remember, don't you dare talk to my daughter..."
"Tch, Lao Li, what kind of person do you take me for!"
