Gu Xuan took a step closer and placed his right hand on the trunk.
A surge of Space-time Force quietly entered the tree trunk.
Even now, he still had not confirmed what the secret behind the tree trunk was.
However, with the situation at hand, if they didn't do anything, they would truly be looked down upon.
Young Hero Ke had asked for the Tower Lord's cooperation, but before the matter could be made clear, Ke XiaoDu had jumped out.
Young Hero Ke stood off to the side, completely invisible, as if he was watching a good show.
With how he was acting, he was about to say that he was the one who had ordered Ke Xiaoxin to do this.
As for why he was doing this, it was naturally because he wanted to humiliate the Tower Lord, humiliate the Ancient Pagoda lineage and vent the frustration and depression in his heart.
There were so many of their own bodies lying on the ground, yet they were still greeting the Tower Lord with a smile. One could only imagine how depressed he was inside.
How could he not vent his anger?
Gu Xuan was very clear that he was just a target.
Unfortunately, the people from the Nine Poison Valley had found the wrong person.
Because he was a target that could fight back!
Even though Gu Xuan had just arrived, he was unable to see through the mystery behind the tree trunk.
However, this did not stop him from guessing what the mystery behind the tree trunk had to do with anything.
That was because Ke XiaoDu and the skinny man beside him had already told him the answer.
That was the Space-time Force!
As long as their brains were not playing around, one could guess that there was something wrong with their bodies.
Although they tried their best to conceal it and even activated the seal in their bodies, Gu Xuan's inner body, which was slightly stronger than the Tower Lord's Soul power, was still able to uncover some clues!
The similarity between the two of them was that they both had extremely weak fluctuations of Space-time Force.
Plus, Young Hero Ke had already hinted that the entrance to the third level of the Sword Tomb was right here.
Thus, Gu Xuan believed that the two of them were trying to break through this barrier.
Sure enough, after the Space-time Force was injected into the tree trunk, Gu Xuan immediately noticed the abnormality.
Inside the tree, there was a faint glow.
However, the light was very weak. If it wasn't for Gu Xuan's increase in the strength of his Soul, he would have really ignored it.
"Looks like the Space-time Force is not enough, I need to inject even more!"
Gu Xuan thought for a bit, and then silently injected more Space-time Force into the tree trunk.
This time, the light from the tree became brighter.
Gu Xuan finally discovered that within the light, there was a formation inscribed.
And what was recorded on the array was obviously a Transfer Array.
An extremely exquisite Transfer Array, even more exquisite than any Transfer Array Gu Xuan had ever seen!
Gu Xuan immediately retracted his Space-time Force.
However, he did not speak immediately. Instead, his frown deepened.
Upon seeing this, Ke XiaoDu felt reassured, and began to mock Chu Yu again.
"Gu Xuan, Ke Qing, you've been touching the trunk for so long, aren't you going to say anything?
Didn't you just confidently declare that you were going to tell me the secrets of the tree?
"I truly never expected that not only are the people from the Ancient Tower Faction fond of boasting, they are also boastful."
Gu Xuan retracted his right hand that was placed on the tree trunk.
"Why don't we make a bet?
If I tell you the secret inside the trunk, will you give me a Monarch Destiny Imperial Artifact?
If I don't, I'll give you two.
"How about it, do you dare to bet?"
Ke Xiaoxin frowned, his heart pounding.
He didn't believe that Gu Xuan could discover the mystery behind the tree trunk.
Even he needed to work together with others to release Space-time Force in order to be able to explore the mysteries of the tree trunk. Gu Xuan was able to touch the tree trunk by himself, how could he possibly discover it?
However, Gu Xuan was acting so confident, which did not make sense at all.
He wasn't afraid of ten thousand in any case!
"What, you don't dare?
You were just confidently declaring that I am a braggart just a moment ago, but now, you don't dare to take the risk anymore?
How about this, not just you, I will accept all of your bets from the Nine Poison Valley, from the Great Perfection Stage to the servants who serve me tea and water.
Whatever you drop, I'll double it.
Don't worry about me, the Tower Lord can vouch for me!
Eh? Why are all of you not saying anything? Could it be that the Nine Poison Valley is filled with fearless bandits? All poor people?
Tsk tsk, that really was … How embarrassing!
Sigh, forget it. If you don't want to bet, forget it.
Young Hero Ke, weren't you talking about cooperation with the Tower Lord just now?
Let's continue then, we must not delay matters.
"I, Ke Qing, am going to leave."
Gu Xuan's mouth was like a string of cannon shots as he said a long string of words in one go. He didn't give anyone a chance to interrupt him.
After he finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the Tower Lord's back, wanting to stand together with Elder Feng Lei and the others.
Seeing this, the Tower Lord's face changed. Indeed, this Gu Xuan brat was unreliable.
He quickly walked out and laughed at Young Hero Ke.
"It's normal for the little ones to cause a ruckus. Let's hurry up and talk business!"
Young Hero Ke frowned.
Gu Xuan and the Tower Lord chimed in and purposely changed the topic. They were clearly looking for a way out of this predicament.
How could he let go of this opportunity?
The first thing he did was to give a look to Ke Xiao Du.
Ke Xiao Du understood and moved to hold Gu Xuan back.
"Gu Xuan, Ke Qing, don't go!
I was just wondering if I should bet more.
We've waited for a hundred thousand years. No matter how anxious we are, we won't be in a hurry for a while.
Didn't you want to bet? I'll take it!
I bet you don't even know the secrets hidden in the tree, just bet one Monarch Destiny Imperial Artifact plus thirty Source Pills!
Gu Xuan, Ke Qing, you're not going to go back on your word, are you? "
The expressions of everyone from the Ancient Tower Faction changed.
The Tower Lord's face turned cold. If this continued, he felt that he would suffer a great loss!
He decided to be shameless. Even if he had to mess around, he would make this bet go down the drain.
It's fine to lose face, Monarch Destiny Imperial Artifact and Source Pill, how can that be okay?
However, before he could open his mouth, Young Hero Ke, who seemed to have read his mind, stepped forward.
"I'll bet a bit more on this bet with the Tower Lord alone.
Two Monarch Destiny Imperial Artifact s and fifty Source Pills!
He had to have confidence in his own people. Even if he didn't have it, he had to support him unconditionally!
I firmly believe that Little Poison will win!
"I don't know who the Tower Master is, but do you believe in your people?"
Young Hero Ke looked at the Tower Lord with a bright smile and said in a mocking tone.
If it was any other Tenth Perfection expert who was humiliated in front of his men, even if they knew that they would lose this bet, they would still have to go and gamble – they would not be afraid to do so.
But the Tower Lord was different.
How could face be more important than profit?
He secretly cursed Young Hero Ke in his heart and was prepared to throw away his old face and shamelessly disrupt the gambling house.
The members of the Ancient Pagoda Faction had already covered their faces. They were very clear on the Tower Lord's style. The Tower Lord would definitely be very shameless after this.
However, Gu Xuan was full of smiles before the Tower Lord could speak. He turned around and walked back to the tree trunk.
"Since everyone is so interested, I shall accept this gamble.
The Tower Lord also accepted it!
In front of so many people, I don't think anyone would go back on their word.
I will reveal the secrets hidden in the tree! "
Gu Xuan did not give the Tower Lord any chance to refuse. Of course, the most important thing was that he did not give Ke XiaoDu and Young Hero Ke the chance to change their words.
Gu Xuan extended his right index finger and sketched something on the tree. A glowing formation was drawn.
Of course, it was the extremely simple version.
The array inside the tree was too exquisite. Gu Xuan couldn't figure it out completely, and there was no need to.
He was only trying to prove that he had comprehended the mysteries of the tree, and drawing a simple formation was enough.
Once the array formation was drawn, the expressions of everyone present changed.
This was especially true for Ke XiaoDu, whose face instantly turned pale.
Even Young Hero Ke's smile froze on his face.
Gu Xuan looked at Young Hero Ke with a smile.
"Senior Young Hero Ke, was this junior's answer correct?"
