Chapter 1077: Saintly Gambling Gate

Lonely Yao didn't dwell on what Lin Mo wanted to say, and he looked at Lin Mo with some suspicion. "Are you really telling me that you've reached the ninth level of the Saintly Gambling Art after just seven steps?"

Lin Mo shook his head.

"Then were you just messing with me?" Lonely Yao continued to ask when he saw Lin Mo shake his head.

"It's not the ninth level, it's the ninth peak," Lin Mo smiled.

"..." After hearing Lin Mo's words, Lonely Yao went straight into self-imposed silence. This person was infuriating. He had spent hundreds of years to reach his current level, and yet Lin Mo had achieved it in just seven steps.

"Besides the other two matters, I'll think about them and discuss them with you the next time we meet," Lin Mo said after some thought.

"You better think it through because the next time you meet me might be hundreds of years from now," Lonely Yao said skeptically. "Even though I promised to help you protect the Nine Provinces, my true self cannot leave. At most, I can send out avatars or call upon my friends for assistance."

"After all, I'm not just bound by a bet with you."

"I understand," Lin Mo nodded. "But I can't think of anything valuable to trouble you with for the time being."

"Deal, consider it a debt for now."

"Alright, then I'll send you back to the Robbery Domain," Lonely Yao said, taking out a black dragon ring and handing it to Lin Mo. "This is the treasure of my Saintly Gambling Gate, the Dragon Mark Ring. It can enhance your luck. When combined with the Saintly Gambling Art, it can produce remarkable effects."

"It can increase your chances of rolling a number higher than what was originally supposed to come up when you roll the Heavenly Dice. In other words, if according to the Heavenly Dice, you should roll a three, this ring can make it a four, significantly weakening your opponent's attack."

"Of course, that's not the main point. The main point is that with this ring, I can contact you at any time. As long as you encounter any life-threatening situations, you can use it to activate the two things I promised you."

Lin Mo looked at the Dragon Mark Ring, his eyes filled with gratitude. This old man might be a bit eccentric and annoying, but at heart, he was still a good person. He had even called Lin Mo "grandson" just now...

Thinking of this, Lin Mo felt that he had been too harsh.

"Thank you, senior," Lin Mo respectfully bowed and accepted the Dragon Mark Ring.

"By the way... when you return to the Robbery Domain, if you have the time, could you take care of the Saintly Gambling Gate a bit for me? I've been away for hundreds of years, and I don't know how much it has declined," Lonely Yao said with a touch of guilt. He was a descendant of the Saintly Gambling Gate, and he should have been the one to carry the legacy forward, but because of his love for gambling, he had wasted thousands of years of his life...

"Of course, I'll take care of it for you," Lin Mo nodded. "Even though you lost the bet, I can still promise you to be the acting gatekeeper of the Saintly Gambling Gate until someone within the gate comprehends the ninth level of the Saintly Gambling Art!"

Looking at the old man who appeared to be filled with vicissitudes, Lin Mo couldn't help but feel moved. It was like a legendary hero who should have brought glory to his family and led his clan to greatness but had wasted his prime years due to certain circumstances, not even knowing whether his family had declined or prospered.

"This is what you said, hahaha." However, just as Lin Mo was feeling a bit sentimental, he heard Lonely Yao's wicked laughter. "A gentleman's word is hard to retrieve!"

"..." Seeing Lonely Yao's mischievous look, Lin Mo was speechless. If he didn't know that he had been tricked by this old man, he might have believed him.

"Hehe, young man, I have high hopes for you," Lonely Yao said with a hint of pride. "In fact, I've always known the situation of the Saintly Gambling Gate. Although it's no longer the colossus it used to be, it's still one of the top five sects within the influence of the Spirit Sword Sect."

"And the Robbery Domain is filled with danger. With such a sect backing you up..."

"Get lost!" Lin Mo said, annoyed.

"Hehe, don't get angry," Lonely Yao grinned. "I'm just sending you back to the Robbery Domain."

Boom! Boom! Boom!

As Lonely Yao spoke, he suddenly waved his hand, and behind him, the dilapidated wooden house turned into a huge vortex. The layers of spatial forces surged open.

Next to this huge vortex, a small vortex slowly formed.

After about a minute, in the center of the vortex, a teleportation array appeared. Lin Mo saw this intact teleportation array when he came to his senses.

He couldn't help but curse the old man in his heart. He clearly had an excellent way to return to the Robbery Domain, but he made it sound as if it would be difficult and challenging, even requiring a bet.

Clearly, he was trying to get Lin Mo to work for the Saintly Gambling Gate for free.

"Let's go, young man. With your return, you'll stir up the winds and clouds of the Robbery Domain together with the Saintly Gambling Gate!" Lonely Yao grinned.

After exchanging a few words with the old man, Lin Mo walked towards the enormous teleportation array. However, as soon as he took a few steps, he was suddenly kicked by Lonely Yao.

Then, his entire person flew towards the small vortex on the side. When his figure entered the vortex zone, a small teleportation array also formed there.

"This large teleportation array goes to the Spirit Sword Sect. It's filled with thirsty women. I'm afraid you won't be able to resist them, so I'm sending you back to the Saintly Gambling Gate instead," came the crafty voice of Lonely Yao.
