Bronze Mirror

Chapter Four Hundred and Forty-One

  Zhao Rui walked to the shrine and carefully explored the surroundings to make sure that there was no danger nearby. Only then did he safely pick up the bronze mirror and look at it carefully.

  This bronze mirror has a primitive style, but its shape is very delicate. The handle is engraved with exquisite ancient inscriptions.

  On both sides of the bronze mirror, a phoenix was carved.

  These two phoenixes seemed to be alive. They flew slowly on the mirror surface, changing positions from time to time.

  Orange-red light poured out from the two phoenixes, shrouding the entire bronze mirror with a faint halo.

  Zhao Rui pinched the handle of the bronze mirror and played with it over and over again. He couldn't put it down.

  He could feel the formidable spiritual energy in this ancient bronze mirror.

  Almost immediately, Zhao Rui was certain that this bronze mirror contained great power and was a magic weapon with boundless might.

  However, with his extensive knowledge, there was no way to know whether this was a magic weapon, how it should be used, and who left it on this mysterious and desolate Demon-Suppressing Island.

  Zhao Rui injected his zhenqi into this ancient bronze mirror, wanting to try and activate it.

  However, after fiddling with it for half a day, there was no harvest, so we had to give up.

  Zhao Rui studied the treasure and revealed a wry smile.

  With his current situation, he urgently needed a powerful magic weapon to help him out of danger.

  However, the bronze mirror in his hand could not be activated!

  Zhao Rui couldn't help but sigh. He felt that his luck today was really not good.

  Just as Zhao Rui was about to put away the bronze mirror and reconsider the way to leave, it suddenly occurred to him that since the monsters on Zhenyao Island were so afraid of the bronze mirror, even though the bronze mirror was buried deep underground, they still did not dare to approach.

  Then, if he went out with the bronze mirror, those crazy monsters might also avoid him!

  If that was the case, not only would he be able to escape from danger, but his journey on the Demon-Suppressing Island would also be much smoother.

  Of course, this was just a guess, and there would be a great risk in case the guess went wrong.

  However, it was better to give it a try than to stay in this cave!

  Zhao Rui carefully weighed it. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was feasible. He couldn't help but feel overjoyed and decided to take this treasure mirror and leave the cave.

  After walking through the curved and deep passage again, Zhao Rui came to the entrance of the cave.

  Outside the cave, countless monsters were densely distributed in the air and on the ground.

  As soon as these monsters saw Zhao Rui, they immediately took a few steps forward like a tide. Their eyes were red and they screamed together.

  The cry was sharp and full of hostility, as if it wanted to tear Zhao Rui into pieces!

  If a little timid person saw this kind of horrible scene, he would have already scared his legs weak.

  Zhao Rui was very calm.

  He quickly took out the treasure mirror and shook it in his hand. Several lines of orange-red flowing light poured out of the treasure mirror and fell in front of him.

  Those monsters that were hit by the orange-red light seemed to have been splashed in half by sulfuric acid. They screamed and flicked back.

  The other monsters nearby also put away their initial madness and ferocity and retreated back in horror.

  Zhao Rui was overjoyed. He did not expect this treasure mirror to be so easy to use. It was not fully activated, and it could scare these monsters away so far. This was a big surprise to him.

  He then held the treasure mirror and strode over to meet the monsters all over the mountain.

  Those densely packed monsters, like the tide, dispersed to both sides, giving way to a road, allowing Zhao Rui to pass through, not daring to block in the slightest.

  Zhao Rui was about to take this opportunity to fly straight to the highest peak on the Demon-Suppressing Island. At this moment, the ground suddenly shook violently, almost making him stand unsteadily.

  The dense fog around Tiangang Demon Island began to disperse at a rapid speed.

  Zhao Rui let out a dark cry of bad luck. At this time, the Demon-Suppressing Island was actually going to disappear!

  He had to temporarily give up and use the treasure mirror to ascend to the highest peak. He quickly flew away from Tiangang Town Demon Island.

  Just as he soared into the air, the entire island disappeared silently on the surface of the sea.

  Zhao Rui glanced down at the vast sea before flying straight back home.

  He felt that this time he went to the island, he was still very rewarding. Not only did he get a few monsters, but he also got an unknown treasure mirror.

  With this treasure mirror, the next time he went to the island, it would be much easier.

  At least the monsters on the island would not pose much of a threat to him, and his path to the peak would be much smoother.

  Only the usage and origin of this treasure mirror are still unclear. Just using this treasure mirror to exorcise demons is somewhat overqualified.

  Zhao Rui studied the Treasure Mirror for a while. After getting nothing, he specially went to the Heavenly Fortune Illusory Realm to find the Weapon Refining Grandmaster Xuan Ling, hoping to get some information from him.

  However, to Zhao Rui's surprise, the number one artifact refiner in the cultivation world, the knowledgeable Master Xuan Ling, had never seen or even heard of such a magical artifact!

  Even Master Xuan Ling could tell the origin and usage of the ancient artifact in the Cemetery of Immortals and Demons. Master Xuan Ling knew nothing about such a bronze mirror.

  Then there could only be one situation. Since its inception, this Dharmic Artifact had never been exposed in the self-cultivation world. It had always been hidden deep on Tiangang Town Demon Island!

  Zhao Rui wandered around the Tianfu Illusory Realm. The only gain was that Master Xuan Ling told him that this treasure mirror might need a special secret spell to activate.

  However, what kind of secret spell and where to find it can only be met by Zhao Rui himself.

  Zhao Rui withdrew from Tianfu Illusory Realm for nothing, feeling a little depressed.

  He risked great danger to obtain such a treasure, but he could only enjoy it. He did not know how to use it, and he did not know if there was a chance to use it in the future.

  Since it will not be used for a while, Zhao Rui threw the treasure mirror into the Qiankun Ring and no longer cared about it.

  After taking a shower, Zhao Rui went to sleep and got up on time to go to work the next day.

  As soon as they arrived at the Pooh Casino, the security guards at Zhao Rui's gate all changed into unfamiliar faces. The number of people almost tripled, and everyone was equipped with guns.

  These security guards, with their backs and waists, looked tough. Even if they deliberately concealed it, their bodies still emitted a sharp murderous aura. At a glance, they could tell that they were soldiers who had rolled on the battlefield.

  Every gambler who entered the casino was even stricter than before!

  Zhao Rui passed the inspection smoothly and entered the casino. Obviously, he felt that the atmosphere in the entire casino was very strange. The air was filled with tension. Many employees and gamblers gathered in groups and were whispering about something.

  Not only that, the number of security guards in the casino also increased significantly, patrolling around, not daring to relax at all.

  What exactly happened?

  Zhao Rui guessed this in his heart and happened to see Li Biao standing in the middle of a bunch of gamblers chatting wildly with a smile on his face.

  So, he walked over and patted Li Biao s shoulder.

  Li Biao turned to look and saw that it was Zhao Rui, so he hurriedly walked out from the crowd and asked, "Brother, what are you looking for me for?"

  Zhao Rui handed a cigarette over, then asked, "What's going on in the casino? Why are there so many security guards all of a sudden?"

  "Well, this cigarette is good." Li Biao took a look at the cigarette and lit it for himself. "You are the manager of the gambling area here, but you don't know it at all?"

  "I just came to work, and I noticed that there was something wrong with the atmosphere at the scene."

  "The Second Young Master of the Wei Family, Wei Chuzhi, died yesterday night," Li Biao lowered his voice and said.

  "Wei Chuzhi is dead?"

  Zhao Rui felt very surprised. Although Wei Chuzhi was beaten badly by him, his bones were broken.

  However, he still left a limit.

  Logically speaking, as long as he was properly treated, an injury of that degree might cripple Wei Chuzhi, but it would not kill him.

  How come it didn t take a few days before Wei Chuzhi suddenly died?

  Zhao Ruizheng felt strange. Li Biao lowered his volume again and leaned to Zhao Rui's ear. He whispered, "There are rumors that Wei Chuzhi was killed by Boss Hu. Now the Wei family is furious and wants to seek revenge from the Hu family!"

  Only then did Zhao Rui understand that Wei Chuzhi's death had nothing to do with him, but the feud between the Hu family and the Wei family.

  In order to seek justice for his daughter, he actually killed Wei Chuzhi. He did not hesitate to turn against the Wei family, one of the three noble families on Lian Island.

  Zhao Rui couldn't help but look at this gambling giant with new eyes.

  Just as Zhao Rui was asking Li Biao about the situation, a small commotion suddenly broke out in the casino.

  Zhao Rui looked in the direction of the commotion and saw Hu Lin in a black dress, escorted by a large group of bodyguards, walking this way.

  Hu Xing, the general manager of Pooh Casino, accompanied by Hu Lin with a sweaty head, is earnestly persuading Hu Lin, hoping that Hu Lin would better leave the casino and return home at this sensitive moment.

  Hu Lin was a little annoyed by the nagging, and his eyebrows stood up, and he coldly said, "Long-winded! It's not your turn to take care of my affairs!"

  The rest of Hu Xing's words were immediately stuck in his throat and he could no longer speak.

  Hu Lin also found Zhao Rui at this moment, so he didn't bother to look at Hu Xing and waved to Zhao Rui.

  "What can I do for you, Miss Lin?" Zhao Rui smiled and walked over, asking.

  "Of course there is something very important." Hu Lin looked at him and said faintly, "I'm going to the horse betting track. You go with me."

  "I'm sorry, Miss Lin. I'm the gambling manager of the casino, not a tour guide, and I'm working now. I'm afraid I don't have time to spare," Zhao Rui refused superciliously.

  Hu Lin was already suspicious of him. It was definitely not a good thing to look for him. It was better for him to stay away from this cold woman.

  Hu Lin didn t say anything and just turned to glance at Hu Xing.

  Hu Xing immediately said to Zhao Rui in a very well-informed manner, "You have changed your profession now, and you are the tour guide. Today's task is to accompany Miss Lin and make Miss Lin happy. As for the work in the casino, leave it to other people to do it. Remember, you must make Miss Lin satisfied!"

  Zhao Rui harshly despised the president in his heart. He had no excuse to shirk and had to reluctantly nod his head.
