Lotus Island

Japan, Ise Shrine.

The Great Divine Officer Issei stood in the dense forest outside the main hall with his hands behind his back. He looked up at the starry sky and observed the stars.

Suddenly, a meteor streaked over the Divine Palace and soon disappeared into the sky.

The expression on the face of the Great Divine Officer Issei moved slightly, and a strong sense of foreboding rose in his heart. It seemed that something big was about to happen.

At this time, a young divine official of the Divine Palace ran over in a panic and reported in a hurry, "Your Excellency, it's not good. We received news that Elm Masahide of Izumo Taisha was killed by the silver-faced demon during the duel!"

"What? Masahide Elm is dead! How... how is this possible! He is the strongest of the Divine Dao Sect!" Grand Priest Issei's face showed surprise. "Is the news accurate?"

"That's absolutely true!" The young divine official bowed his head and replied, "Our people went to the battle site and found the Vajra Yaksha pill that had already turned into pieces."

Grand Priest Issei fell silent and did not speak for a long time.

Vajra Yaksha Pill is a gift from God and belongs to an ancient Japanese artifact. It is regarded as a treasure more precious than life by the divine officials of Yunda Society in past dynasties.

However, now that even this treasure had been turned into pieces, that Elm Masahiro was definitely in danger. He was afraid that his soul would be scattered in the battle.

If he had not coveted the treasures in the tomb of the Martial Spirit and sent people to Binyang to dig up the ancient tomb, perhaps he would not have provoked the mysterious silver-faced demon, and he would not have let the Divine Dao Sect suffer such heavy losses, even losing the number one expert in the sect!

The death of Yumu Zhengying was a great blow to the entire Divine Dao Sect.

If Divine Dao Sect wanted to have another powerhouse like Elm Masayoshi, it would probably be impossible in a few hundred years.

"What a great loss!" The Great Divine Officer Issei hung his head, and his back arched slightly. His entire person seemed to have aged a lot in an instant. "I lost so many experts, but I don't even know the true face of that silver-faced demon. Sigh..."

He shook his head, sighed heavily, and walked back to the main hall.

Just as the Great Divine Officer Issei was remorseful, the news that the silver-faced demon had killed Masahide Elm quickly spread in the self-cultivation world.

The self-cultivators in the Heavenly Blessing Illusory Realm, as well as various demons and ghosts, were surprised and talked about the news.

The Great Weapon Refining Grandmaster, Taoist Priest Xuan Ling, was inspecting the shops in the Illusory Realm at this moment. He noticed that the situation in Baishi Square was different from usual, so he shouted at a disciple who was watching the bustle outside the door, "Qingsong, why is it noisy outside?"

The path named Qingsong heard Grandfather calling and hurriedly ran in. "Grandfather, you called me?"

"Yes! What happened outside?" Master Xuan Ling nodded his head and asked again.

"What a big event! Grandfather," Qing Song Xiaodao replied loudly in a very exaggerated tone, "The people outside said that the Grand Priest of Izumo Tae-young was defeated by the silver-faced demon!"

"Oh? Really?"

Master Xuan Ling couldn t help but be taken aback.

Some time ago, Yumu Zhengying swept away the 32 real people in the distraction period of the self-cultivation world with the autumn wind sweeping away the fallen leaves. The limelight was strong and there was no difference at the moment.

Unexpectedly, it didn't take long for him to be defeated suddenly!

Master Xuan Ling was truly a little unbelievable.

"It's true. Someone else personally went to the battle site to check it out! Now the entire cultivation world has spread!" Little Daoist Qingsong replied with great certainty.

Master Xuan Ling stroked his beard and sighed, "Yumu Zhengying is the number one expert in the distraction period! Unexpectedly, he was defeated by the silver-faced demon just like that. Who is that silver-faced demon? Why have you never heard of it before?"

Qing Song scratched his head and was puzzled as he said, "Everyone else is also guessing the identity of the silver-faced demon! But it's almost as if that guy suddenly appeared from underground. No one knows his origin, let alone his appearance! I just heard that he has a strange silver mask on his face."

Master Xuan Ling shook his head in bewilderment. "Strange! Since the silver-faced demon was able to defeat Masahide Elm, his cultivation has at least reached the peak of the Divided Spirit Stage, and he might even surpass it. Such a powerful demon should be very eye-catching."

"Yes, yes! That silver-faced demon is really mysterious!" Qing Song nodded repeatedly and echoed.

Master Xuan Ling thought hard for a long time and wanted to find out from his memory who was in line with the identity of the silver-faced demon.

Suddenly, Zhao Rui s shadow popped up in his mind.

Master Xuan Ling felt that this Underworld Taoist friend was extremely low-key, but he had the legendary ancient immortal magic weapon in his hand. The degree of mystery was even greater than that of the silver-faced demon.

Even if this Nether Spirit and the silver-faced demon belonged to the same person, it was not surprising.

Just when Master Xuan Ling began to question Zhao Rui's identity, Zhao Rui had already bid farewell to Xiao Fang and the others and left Binyang by plane for Lian Island.

He received a revelation in his dream. The third page of the God-Sealing Book was hidden in Liandao City.

Lian Island is extremely far away from Binyang, one south and one north, separated by ten thousand miles.

The area of Liandao City was not large, less than 300 square kilometers, but the population was very dense, as many as five to six million, almost the most densely populated area in the world.

However, due to its special geographical location and policies, it is also one of the prosperous international cities.

The culture of Liandao Island is very unique. Eastern and Western cultures collide, exchange and finally merge here. Up to now, there are still many historical buildings on the island that combine east and west.

Due to the diversity of cultures, there are many kinds of beliefs on the island, including ancient Chinese religions such as Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, as well as later introduced religions such as Catholicism and Christianity.

Lotus Island's tourism and gambling industry is very prosperous, with many luxurious large casinos, bringing great wealth to the city. Together with Las Vegas, Atlantic City and Monte Carlo, it is called the world's four largest gambling cities.

This is a strange place. There are poor beggars who become rich overnight and billionaires who lose penniless in an instant.

However, it was also because of this that gangs were everywhere in this city, and the situation was extremely complicated.

Zhao Rui arrived at Liandao that night. After getting off the plane, he found a hotel near the airport to stay.

Zhao Rui was not short of money and was not good at gambling. He did not go to the casino at night. Instead, he had a good rest for the night. Early the next morning, he rented a bicycle and strolled around the city leisurely.

Cycling is good. First, you can get familiar with the city environment. Second, you can also enjoy visiting the city scenic spots. If you see a satisfactory house, you can rent it quickly, which is much better than taking a bus.

Lian Island is indeed very prosperous. The streets are neat and full of tall buildings. Five-star hotels and luxurious casinos are lined up.

However, behind the prosperity, there are also many dark and old residential areas. If you don't ride around, you won't see such a scene.

Zhao Rui toured the city for half a day, but he didn't know where he had rode to. He actually lost his way in the maze-like old residential area.

He had to stop at a small street that was only two or three meters wide. Then he took out the map and prepared to find his way back.

Suddenly, there was a cry for help not far away. Zhao Rui put the map into his bag, rode his car, and followed the sound to find the past. He saw a man and a woman, entangled in a remote corner.

The man was very tall, and his appearance was quite upright, but his current expression looked a little ferocious.

The girl was just in her early twenties, wearing a pink dress and a shawl with beautiful hair. Her skin was very fair. Her beautiful big eyes showed a little anger and helplessness, looking very delicate.

"Let me go! You let me go!"

The girl struggled hard. Although her face looked anxious and angry, her voice was still soft and pleasant.

"Let go? It's not easy for me to get such an opportunity. How can I let go?" The man grabbed the girl's wrist and pressed her against the wall. He said fiercely, "Since you refuse to be my girlfriend, I don't need to be polite to you!"

Although Zhao Rui didn't want to meddle in other people's business, since he saw such a thing, it was not easy for him to turn his head and leave, so he said, "Hey, what are you doing?"

The man was taken aback for a moment. When he turned his head and saw that Zhao Rui was the only one, he immediately became emboldened. With bulging bull eyes, he glared at Zhao Rui fiercely and yelled loudly, "You'd better mind your own business and get out of here!"

Zhao Rui blinked his eyes and then said, "What if I don't want to **** off?"

The corner of the man's eyes jumped lightly, revealing his murderous intent. "Then don't blame me..."

Before he could finish his words, the girl who looked soft and weak suddenly lifted her leg and hit her knee hard on the man's crotch.

"Wow!!!"

The man let out a loud scream. He covered his lower body with both hands and lay on the ground. He kept rolling around and his face turned pig liver.

Zhao Rui opened his mouth slightly in surprise. This scene was too dramatic.

Just now, the fierce and murderous bruiser was put down by a delicate girl!

This is really a person who cannot judge by his appearance!

Zhao Rui took a sympathetic look at the one on the ground and felt that he had really picked the wrong target for indecent assault. Originally, he thought it was a little sheep, but he actually met a female wolf in sheep's clothing.

Now that the life root has been hit, it must be very bad. If it is disabled, it will be a big loss.
