My Master Knows It All

”Maybe you could even get a Peace Command.”

Across from him, the ghost captain seemed to finally understand his words this time.

The ghost captain gestured to a group of ghosts, who immediately collected their weapons and then just stood there looking at Cao Zhen.

Cao Zhen gently exhaled, thankful that this ghost captain still had some sense; otherwise, he might have had to give the captain a Peace Command just for safety.

He pointed to his courtyard, saying, ”Let’s go inside to talk; there are too many cultivators outside. If other cultivators see us together, our plan will be hard to carry out.”

As he spoke, Cao Zhen opened the door and gestured politely for the ghost captain to enter.

The ghost captain hesitated slightly but still followed him into the courtyard.

As soon as the ghost entered the courtyard, Cao Zhen closed the door and looked at the ghost, ready to disclose his plan.

”We have an arena here, but why is it that during the arena battles, no one bets on the outcome?

Oh, you might not know what betting means. It’s like...

For instance, if I fight with another cultivator, other cultivators can bet on whether I’ll win or the other will win.

Then, if a cultivator bets on the other winning but ultimately I win, the stakes of those who bet on the other must be surrendered to those who bet on me.

Of course, the amount varies depending on how much was bet on me.

Calculating other things can be tricky, so we can stipulate the stakes using the Peace Command.

Then, you can manage the bets, letting other cultivators place their wagers...

Rest assured, there will definitely be cultivators who will step up in the arena against me, and I have absolute confidence that I can defeat them.

If their cultivation realm is higher than mine, many cultivators will bet on them winning. By then, all of their Peace Commands will be ours to claim.

Then, we split however many Peace Commands we gain, directly down the middle—how does that sound?

You don’t need to worry about losing; I will certainly not lose, nor will there be many cultivators betting against me.

Moreover, if you find that you’re losing, you can simply choose not to pay other cultivators—what can they do about it!

I’m telling you, once we succeed, earning hundreds of Peace Commands would be just the beginning.”

Cao Zhen finished excitedly but found the resentful spirit looking baffled, so he had to continue explaining.

After explaining for a long time, the ghost finally nodded, indicating understanding.

”You understand? Good, then let’s proceed to prepare. You need to let all the cultivators know; only then will they come to bet.

The more cultivators betting, the more we earn.

Also, I need to write some words for you, and we need some cultivators to cooperate with us. You need to cooperate with me too.”

Cao Zhen talked for a long time until the ghost finally nodded, fully understanding his intentions and agreeing to collaborate with Cao Zhen, as the prospect painted by Cao Zhen seemed too appealing.

Once the ghost agreed, Cao Zhen began preparing, and after finishing, he explained once more to the ghost before swiftly scaling the wall to the neighboring courtyard.

Next door resided Immortal Lord Shi Wang.

Suddenly hearing a sound, Immortal Lord Shi Wang looked up, showing a surprised expression on his face.

”Friend Bai Feng, why don’t you use the door? What made you climb over the wall? Didn’t you say you wanted to stay in the Astral Domain Secret Territory? Why come here directly?”

”If I use the main door and other cultivators see, let those Great Luo Golden Immortals know of our relations; you’ll be in trouble then.

As for why I’m here, it’s because those Great Luo Golden Immortals have been chasing me inside. If I stayed in the Astral Domain Secret Territory, I’d have no time for exploring other opportunities, so I’ve come back directly.”

Cao Zhen answered briefly, then said mysteriously, ”I’ve come to see you because I have something good lined up.”

He proceeded to relay his plan to Immortal Lord Shi Wang.

In this city, the only cultivators he knew were Immortal Lord Shi Wang and Immortal Lord Yun Hu, but Immortal Lord Yun Hu was still in the Astral Domain Secret Territory.

Thus, he could only turn to Immortal Lord Shi Wang.

Immortal Lord Shi Wang, having heard Cao Zhen’s plan, was completely stunned.

”How did you come up with this, collaborating with these ghosts is insane! More astonishing is that the ghost even agreed.

But your plan is simply unfeasible.”

Immortal Lord Shi Wang shook his head, saying, ”I know your combat strength is immense, but the problem is, the opponent is a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

Unable to use immortal energy, they would still be much stronger than us.

Their physical strength is something we can’t compare to.”

”That’s not necessarily true,” Cao Zhen replied, exuding strong confidence, ”it’s a fair fight to the death—do you think I’d gamble with my own life?

All you need to do at that time is cheer for me. Afterward, you won’t be short of benefits.”

Although Immortal Lord Shi Wang knew Immortal Lord Bai Feng wouldn’t gamble with his own life, he still couldn’t believe a Taichi Golden Immortal would surpass a Great Luo Golden Immortal in physical strength.

He furrowed his brow, saying, ”Even so, aren’t you worried the opponent might not settle accounts when the time comes?”
