Gauntlet
Xiao Fang and her mother left the hospital, called Zhao Rui, and narrated what happened in the hospital today in a very eloquent way. She was very happy while talking.
Zhao Rui thought it was a little funny, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with Xiao Fang's doing so.
A quack doctor like Vice President Che should embarrass him a bit.
After hanging up the phone, Zhao Rui stayed at the police station until after get off work, and then went home.
After a meal, he was bored, so he took out the five-element piercing token and entered the Tianfu illusion to see what interesting things happened there recently.
Landing on the hanging island surrounded by the vast sea of clouds, Zhao Rui walked along the winding stone steps to Baishi Square, and found that the square was still crowded with people, all kinds of cultivators and demons gathered here.
Except for some people who were doing business, more people seemed to be gathering together, chatting about something.
Zhao Rui knew that something must have happened in the realm of comprehension during this time, so he couldn't help but feel a little strange, so he quickly separated from the crowd, walked through Baishi Square, and went to the Artifact Sect to find Master Xuanling for information.
Master Xuanling happened to be in the shop at this time, saw Zhao Rui coming in, so he stepped forward and said with a smile: "Friend Mingling, you are here again."
Zhao Rui nodded, smiled and exchanged a few words with Master Xuanling, and then asked: "What happened these few days? Why is it so messy outside?"
Master Xuanling glanced at Baishi Square, and then sighed: "The real worshiper of Qingcheng Mountain was defeated by Yumu Masahide, the strong Fusang Shinto. The current number one strongman in the distraction period belongs to the great priest of Izumo Taisha Yu Mu Zhengying. Although we practitioners don't need to mind these false names too much, but it still makes people feel ashamed to be defeated by a practitioner from an island country overseas."
"These guys are really hateful!" Zhao Rui couldn't help nodding his head emphatically as he recalled his enmity with Shintoism.
The two were chatting there when they suddenly heard a familiar voice in the broad Baishi Square: "Big news! Big news! I have very big news..."
Although the Baishi Square was full of people's voices and it was very lively, this voice actually suppressed all other voices!
Master Xuanling smiled at Zhao Rui and said, "Patriarch Yinfeng got some gossip from somewhere, we might as well listen to it."
Zhao Rui also smiled, and looked towards Baishi Square, only to see that the ancestor Yinfeng was carrying a few black will-o'-the-wisps, floating around in the square like a gust of wind, while still yelling loudly, trying to attract more attention.
"Hey, it's big news after all, hurry up and say it!"
"That's right, be shouted at by Guang, tell us the content!"
"Say it! Say it!"
"..."
"..."
Many practitioners and demons in the square became impatient and shouted.
Patriarch Yinfeng looked around and saw that everyone's eyes had already focused on him, so he stopped, cleared his throat and said, "According to the latest news I got, Yumu Zhengying, the number one powerhouse of Fusang Shintoism, has officially issued a I have written a challenge letter. I want to duel with the silver-faced monster in the realm of comprehension!"
"Ah? Yumu Zhengying personally issued a challenge letter to duel with the silver-faced demon?"
"Who is the silver-faced demon? Why haven't you heard of it?"
"Is that guy very powerful? Can Yumu Zhengying issue a formal challenge letter?"
"Why have I never heard of the name of the silver-faced demon?"
"..."
"..."
Many cultivators and all kinds of ghosts and ghosts in the square suddenly started talking like boiling water.
Zhao Rui was equally surprised when he heard the news.
He never thought that Yumu Zhengying would openly challenge him!
He and Yumu Zhengying have never known each other, and have no enmity, and even his name is not known to the cultivation world, but the number one powerhouse in the distraction stage has challenged him!
He couldn't help being surprised.
However, after thinking about it for a while, Zhao Rui understood the reason.
A few days ago, Ise Jingu fought with him and suffered heavy losses. He must want to save face, so asking Yumu Zhengying to take action became the only choice.
Umaki Masahide is the number one powerhouse of Shintoism in Japan and the great priest of Izumo Taisha Shrine. His relationship with Ise Shrine is extraordinary, so naturally he will not refuse.
Zhao Rui didn't intend to accept Yumu Zhengying's challenge, at least not now.
After all, Yumu Zhengying had just defeated the No. 1 powerhouse in the distraction stage, Master Baishui. Among the many practitioners in the distraction stage, he was the strongest at the top, and he had just entered the distraction stage.
There is still a certain gap in strength between the two, accepting the duel now, the chance of winning is not high, it is tantamount to death in vain.
Of course, Zhao Rui also knew that he couldn't dodge forever, that would be too useless.
He planned to seize the time to practice, and wait until the night of the full moon, enter the fairy and demon cemetery, obtain the ancient magic weapon, and then compete with Yumu Zhengying.
According to his previous experience of entering the fairy and demon cemetery, he should be able to greatly increase his own strength by obtaining treasures from the fairy tomb, and perhaps bridge the gap with Yumu Zhengying!
Just as Zhao Rui was thinking this way, Master Xuanling beside him stroked his white beard with his hands, and murmured: "Even if this Yumu Zhengying is in the Chinese cultivation world, he is also the number one powerhouse in the distraction stage. Strong. However, it is such a strong man who actually challenged the silver-faced monster, who is the silver-faced monster? Why did Yumu Zhengying fight the silver-faced monster?"
Zhao Rui smiled wryly. He knew better than anyone else why Yumu Zhengying challenged him, but these secrets could only be buried deep in his heart and could not be told to anyone.
Master Xuanling was actually just talking to himself, and didn't expect anyone to give him an answer. He paused, turned his head to look at Zhao Rui, and said with a feeling: "The current cultivation world is really lively! You What do you think? Fellow Daoist Underworld?”
"It's really lively, and there are many good shows." Zhao Rui smiled and nodded in agreement, "We are just outsiders, so we might as well wait and see what happens."
"That's right! We just need to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight." Master Xuanling chuckled and nodded, "However, I have some expectations and some curiosity about that silver-faced monster! Let a strong man like Yumu Zhengying solemnly issue a challenge, I don't know what that silver-faced monster looks like?"
"We'll know when the time comes."
Zhao Rui made a perfunctory sentence, and then quickly changed the topic, not wanting to continue talking on this topic.
After chatting aimlessly with Master Xuanling for a while, Zhao Rui said goodbye and left.
Yumu Zhengying's challenge made him really not much interested in continuing to chat.
Exiting from the illusion of Tianfu and returning to the apartment, Zhao Rui half-lyed on the sofa, staring at the beautiful sunset outside the window, dazed in a daze.
It is undoubtedly bad news for Yumu Zhengying to challenge him, but if you look at it from another angle, it is also a kind of affirmation for him.
After all, Yumu Zhengying is the number one powerhouse in the distraction stage, and among the many cultivators in the distraction stage, there are not many who are qualified to accept the challenge of Yumu Zhengying.
In the past, with Yu Mu Zhengying's strength, he would not have been taken seriously.
Now that Yumu Zhengying has already declared the challenge, Zhao Rui estimated that Yumu Zhengying will come to Binyang in a short time.
Just as he was thinking like this, suddenly, a powerful wave of spiritual power appeared in the northeast direction, and landed towards Binyang City at an extremely fast speed!
This powerful fluctuation of spiritual power is as bright and dazzling as the sun in the dark night.
Although they are far apart, Zhao Rui still seems to feel the suffocating sense of oppression emanating from that wave of spiritual power!
Yumu Zhengying!
It must be Yumu Zhengying!
Zhao Rui's face changed slightly, he didn't expect Yumu Zhengying's strength to be so strong!
Qingyuan Heisei of Ise Jingu Shrine cannot be compared with it at all!
"This is the strength of the number one powerhouse in the distraction stage?" Zhao Rui looked towards the northeast direction solemnly, and whispered to himself, "No wonder he was able to sweep thirty-two real people, and his reputation is indeed well-deserved! His cultivation Because, I'm afraid I have reached the peak of the distraction period! Unexpectedly, before I leave this city, I will have to fight against such a strong person."
Zhao Rui absorbed the demonic aura emanating from his body into his body, and frowned slightly.
Yumu Zhengying is a peak powerhouse in the distraction stage, but he is just an ordinary cultivator who has just entered the distraction stage, and there is a huge difference in strength.
Under normal circumstances, he has no chance of winning in a head-to-head confrontation.
Unless you entered the Immortal and Demon Cemetery, it might be different.
Night of the full moon!
Zhao Rui raised his head and muttered in his heart.
There are still ten days.
