“I am Huo Poyun from the Golden Crow Sect of the Flame God Realm.” Huo Poyun faced Yun Che and said politely, “I have yet to ask for your name.”
“I was born in the lower realm, and I am now a disciple of the Ice Phoenix Divine Sect, Yun Che.” Yun Che also returned the greeting, pondering Mu Xuanyin’s intentions over and over again in his heart.
“Yun Che?” Huo Rulie suddenly laughed out loud: “So this kid’s last name is Yun, and my disciple’s name is Po Yun, it really fits the situation, hahahaha.”
“Huo Rulie, you’re laughing so loudly, aren’t you afraid of biting your tongue?” Mu Xuanyin’s eyes turned cold: “Che’er, start!”
“~!@#￥%…” Yun Che had no choice but to stagger his steps and take a stance… His opponent was at the Divine Tribulation Realm! Even if he was ten times stronger, he would not be his opponent. What exactly was Mu Xuanyin’s intention… He couldn’t be deliberately trying to embarrass me, right?
Huo Poyun bowed slightly, and flames appeared on his body: "Please teach me!"
The posture he put on was clearly to let Yun Che make the first move. As a powerful person in the middle stage of the Divine Tribulation Realm, how could he possibly take the initiative to attack someone who had just entered the Divine Origin Realm?
The arrow was on the string, Yun Che had no way to retreat. He definitely would not use force. If he tried to outsmart them... the gap in strength was too big, in the public eye, and it also involved Mu Xuanyin's reputation... Yun Che could not think of a way to win even if he had ten more heads.
“Sect Master,” Yun Che was getting anxious when a gentle voice rang out. Mu Bingyun walked out and said calmly, “This is a holy temple after all. It is not appropriate to start a war. Both sides are carefully selected disciples. Ice and fire counteract each other. It is very easy to cause serious injuries due to careless attacks. If this happens, it will be an irreparable loss for both sects.”
"What? You want to regret it by force?" Huo Rulie sneered.
"How could our sect master go back on his word?" Mu Bingyun frowned, "But this is our sect's holy temple, not a place for fighting. What you want is for our disciples to compete with each other, not a fight to the death. If that's the case, why don't you use a simpler way?"
"Please speak, Fairy Bingyun." Yan Wancang responded quickly.
Mu Bingyun looked at Huo Rulie and the other two and said calmly, "Our sect uses the Ice Phoenix God-conferring Canon as its core profound skill, and the Golden Crow Sect's Golden Crow World-burning Record is well known to the world. How about having the two disciples compete in the sect's core profound skill? The two of them stand a hundred feet apart and attack each other three times with the sect's core profound skill. The attacked can only defend. After three attacks, the winner is decided. This way, there is no need for a fierce fight, and the winner can still compete in the sect's profound skill."
As soon as Mu Bingyun finished speaking, Yan Wancang nodded heavily: "Fairy Bingyun, this plan is brilliant. Not only can we stop at the right time, there is no fear of failure, and there is no harm to the relationship, but we can also really compare who is stronger. Sect Master Huo...if you must compete, then let's do it this way."
While speaking, he kept hinting at Huo Rulie with his eyes... He couldn't agree more with the rules proposed by Mu Bingyun. Because this was the territory of the Snow Song Realm, and with Mu Xuanyin's temperament, if the two disciples really fought, the consequences would be serious regardless of whether they won or lost. This "gentle" method was obviously countless times better.
"Good! Very good!" Huo Rulie nodded slowly without hesitation: "It will also prevent others from getting angry because of their ugly defeat... But!"
Huo Rulie suddenly changed the subject: "Since it is a competition between disciples, how can there be no prize? Mu Xuanyin, if this inferior disciple of mine who is not even worthy of carrying your disciple's shoes wins by chance, what will you do?"
“What do you want?” Mu Xuanyin said expressionlessly.
“Hahaha, that’s easy!” Huo Rulie laughed. “If this inferior disciple of mine who is not even worthy of carrying your disciple’s shoes wins by chance, I want you to admit in public that you, Mu Xuanyin, are not as good as me, Huo Rulie!”
He repeatedly emphasized the words "not even worthy of carrying my shoes" to remind everyone again and again that this was what Mu Xuanyin said herself! She said it herself!
“Huo Rulie, you…” Mu Huanzhi was furious.
"What about me?" Huo Rulie retorted angrily, "Your sect leader said that my disciples are not even worthy of carrying her disciples' shoes, so how could they be afraid of losing! How could they not dare to respond!"
"You!" Mu Huanzhi's body swayed slightly, and veins on his forehead bulged.
Compared to Mu Huanzhi's excitement, Mu Xuanyin showed no emotion at all and said coldly, "What if my disciple wins?"
"Win?" Huo Rulie's mouth tilted, and his eyes curled up: "Then no matter what you want me to do, I will never frown."
“Fire is raging!” Yan Wancang was shocked. He had just opened his mouth to shout when he was interrupted by Mu Xuanyin’s voice.
“Okay! That’s what you said!” A cold light flashed in Mu Xuanyin’s icy eyes.
"I, Huo Rulie, will keep my word and will never go back on it!" Huo Rulie ignored Yan Wancang and said in a low voice, "I'm just afraid you don't dare to respond!"
“You and your disciples are not worthy!” Mu Xuanyin waved her hand, and the snowstorm that filled the sky and the earth stopped instantly. Her voice reached the sky: “If my disciples are defeated by your disciples, Huo Rulie, I will personally admit that I am not as good as you, Huo Rulie! Are you satisfied?”
"Okay—" Huo Rulie nodded slowly, his fiery eyes widening as wide as possible.
“Ah.” Despite repeated attempts to stop it, things finally came to this. Yan Wancang sighed heavily and helplessly sent a message to Huo Rulie: “Mu Xuanyin is definitely not the kind of person who would speak impulsively just to save face, and certainly not someone who would dig a hole and jump into it. You… Alas.”
All the harsh words had already been said, and it was useless for him to say more.
"Hmph! Do you think that the useless disciple she accepted can be compared with Po Yun?" Huo Rulie said in a deep voice.
"..." Yan Wancang was speechless for a moment. As far as he knew, within the Ice Phoenix Divine Sect, there were also several talented disciples whose profound strength had reached the Divine Tribulation Realm within half a century, but Mu Xuanyin chose a person who was born in the lower realm and whose profound strength had just entered the Divine Way as his personal disciple. It was conceivable that this person named "Yun Che" must have something extraordinary.
It could be that he has huge potential, he has an unusual physique, or he has a special talent for ice.
But no matter what, with his current Divine Origin Realm cultivation, there was no way he could compare to Huo Poyun, who was in the middle stage of the Divine Tribulation Realm… No matter how hard he thought, he couldn’t think of even the slightest possibility that Yun Che could win.
Moreover, the two were competing in the profound skills of their sects. That could only be described as "a world of difference". Whether it was the Golden Crow Burning World Record or the Ice Phoenix God-conferring Classic, their power and control had a lot to do with the strength of their bloodline.
Huo Poyun is the direct descendant of the Golden Crow bloodline.
As for the inheritance of the Snow Song Realm's Ice Phoenix bloodline... let's not talk about it. The Snow Song Realm's overall strength is less than one-tenth of the Flame God Realm's, and one of the important reasons is that the bloodline inheritance is extremely limited.
“I remind you once again, this is the Snow Song Realm!” Although Yan Wancang felt that Huo Poyun had no chance of losing, he still did not feel reassured when he thought of Mu Xuanyin’s temperament: “So what if Huo Poyun wins? Do you really believe that Mu Xuanyin will admit in public that she is not as good as you?”
“I hope she breaks her promise!” Huo Rulie whispered, “If she dares to break her promise, unless she has the guts to keep all of us here forever, otherwise, I will let the entire God Realm know what happened today! Let the entire God Realm know that Mu Xuanyin is a person who talks big and doesn’t keep her word! At last… I have given my son some relief!”
“……” Yan Wancang shook his head and sighed again, feeling that something was wrong.
…Yun Che suddenly became calm at this moment, but a stronger chill rose in his heart.
What a terrible scheme!
Huo Rulie didn't even realize that he was being made a fool of the whole time.
However, she deliberately angered Huo Rulie, and then gradually led the emotionally out-of-control Huo Rulie into a trap... What exactly did she want to get from him?
But the faces of the elders and palace masters on both sides turned pale.
On one side is Yun Che, on the other side is Huo Poyun...
The thoughts in their hearts were exactly the same as when Yun Che walked out earlier... What the hell is this fight!
Furthermore, Yun Che had just completed the apprenticeship ceremony today and had not yet obtained the Ice Phoenix divine blood, so it was impossible for him to perform the Ice Phoenix God-conferring Canon.
What on earth is the Sect Master doing!
Could it be that the words had already been spoken, and under Huo Rulie's relentless pressure, he had no choice but to respond! ?
This should be the only reason.
“Huo Rulie, remember what you just said.” Mu Xuanyin said in a very low voice: “Let’s get started!”
"Please teach me." Huo Poyun took up his stance again... and it was obviously a defensive stance.
"etc!"
At this moment, another inopportune voice sounded. Mu Hanyi dodged and pulled up an extremely beautiful blue light and shadow, which landed lightly and gracefully on the side of Yun Che.
Mu Hanyi bowed deeply to Mu Xuanyin, and then said to Huo Rulie, "Sect Master Huo, I, the junior disciple of the Ice Phoenix Divine Sect, Mu Hanyi, have something to say. I hope you will agree."
Mu Xuanyin frowned slightly but did not speak.
“Heh!” Huo Rulie sneered, obviously thinking that Mu Hanyi was someone Mu Xuanyin had secretly arranged to disrupt the fight between the two disciples. “Okay, then I’ll listen to what you have to say.”
Mu Hanyi said, "I had hoped to become the sect master's direct disciple, but my talent was mediocre and I lost to Senior Brother Yun Che in the competition. I was convinced of my defeat. Since Senior Brother Yun Che is the sect master's direct disciple, I can't compare with him. Sect Master Huo's disciple must be extremely talented, which makes me want to try my hand. Why not let me have a competition with this brother Po Yun first?"
“If even a junior can be so lucky as to defeat your disciple…” Mu Hanyi smiled faintly and said proudly: “Then, I’m afraid that Sect Master Huo’s disciple is not qualified enough to fight with my Sect Master’s direct disciple.”
After hearing Mu Hanyi's words, Huo Poyun frowned and showed a little anger.
The people of the Ice Phoenix Divine Sect, whose hearts were clenched, all had strange looks in their eyes. The elders all had relaxed expressions, nodded in praise secretly, and their expressions relaxed a lot all of a sudden.
Mu Hanyi was still Mu Hanyi after all… His courage and his clever words turned the situation around, which was considered a desperate one for the Divine Ice Phoenix Sect.
The words "If even a junior could luckily defeat your disciple... I'm afraid Sect Master Huo's disciple is not yet qualified enough to fight against the Sect Master's direct disciple" made Huo Rulie have to respond whether he wanted to or not!
Then, if Mu Hanyi can defeat Huo Poyun, this crisis concerning the sect master's reputation will be resolved.
"Han Yi, well done!" Mu Huanzhi breathed a sigh of relief and praised generously.
Before Huo Rulie could say anything, Huo Poyun took a step forward and said in a stern voice, "Okay! Then I, Huo Poyun, will learn from Brother Han Yi's skills first!"
“That couldn’t be better!” Mu Hanyi’s expression turned serious, and he nodded gently to Yun Che: “Senior Brother Yun Che, he is not worthy of you taking action yet. Let me meet him first.”
“…Then be careful.” Yun Che retreated silently.
Yun Che had just stepped back a few steps when Mu Hanyi and Huo Poyun’s bodies simultaneously flashed with profound light. Two streams of profound energy with contradictory properties, but equally astonishing, were released at full force… so powerful that people could not believe that this came from two young men who were both less than thirty years old.
In terms of profound strength cultivation, both of them were at the fifth level of the Divine Tribulation Realm, and were equally matched—except that Mu Hanyi was three years older than Huo Poyun.
In terms of bloodline, Mu Hanyi is definitely not as good as Huo Poyun.
But Mu Hanyi's cold eyes were filled with determination and confidence, because this was the Snow Song Realm, and the Holy Temple area was extremely close to the Heavenly Dark Frost Lake. This could be said to be the coldest place in the Snow Song Realm besides the Heavenly Dark Frost Lake area.
The icy air here would be of great benefit to his Ice Phoenix God-conferring Canon, but would be of great harm to Huo Poyun's Golden Crow Burning World Record.
So, he was confident enough.
