Chapter 251

Outside the gate of the Green-Faced Villa, Gu Yuefeng stood carrying his sword.

In fact, he and Feng Sanniang only met a few times in total.

When they first met, the other party visited the Qingshan Sword Sect with a big figure from the provincial capital.

Feng Sanniang went to Qingshan Peak alone to enjoy the scenery and happened to meet him practicing swordsmanship.

"I have long heard that the sea of clouds on Qingshan Peak is a beautiful sight in the world; I have come to enjoy the scenery, I hope I won't disturb you, sir."

"It doesn't matter."

This was the first conversation between the two.

Afterward, she continued to watch the sea of clouds, and he continued to practice swordsmanship.

Throughout the whole process, neither of them said another word.

Before leaving, she looked back and smiled at him.

This fleeting scenery made the surrounding sea of clouds seem somewhat dull.

Later, the two met a few more times.

After going back and forth, they could be considered familiar.

"I want to open a cabaret in Datong Fucheng; after it opens, I would like to invite you to have a drink, I wonder if it would be abrupt?"

"Good."

This was the conversation between the two when they parted in the provincial capital.

Gu Yuefeng was obsessed with the sword all his life and did not care about romantic love, and even less so about female beauty.

He asked himself that there was far from any romantic love between him and Feng Sanniang, and he had never thought about what to do with the other party.

It was just that this woman was indeed one of the few things and people Gu Yuefeng had encountered in his life, besides the sword, that did not make him feel bored.

So when he learned that Feng Sanniang was dead, he felt some regret.

Xu Jing thought that he had intense feelings for Feng Sanniang, so he would definitely want to kill the Green-Faced Ghost to avenge Feng Sanniang.

But for Gu Yuefeng, the main purpose of his trip was to challenge Qin Zhen and break through the realm.

As for killing the Green-Faced Ghost, it was just incidental.

If it weren't for the fact that the other party was ranked third on the Wind and Cloud List and showed extraordinary combat power on the day Hao Yi robbed the execution ground, Gu Yuefeng would not have come to the Green-Faced Villa tonight.

His sword is not something everyone is qualified to see...

The gate of the Green-Faced Villa was tightly closed; the people inside noticed Gu Yuefeng's arrival but did not open the gate.

Of course, no one dared to run out to provoke him.

Before Gu Yuefeng could do anything, the ground suddenly shook.

He turned his head to look and saw dozens of cavalrymen, both men and horses armored, riding toward them.

These cavalrymen were all full of murderous aura; although there were only dozens of riders, they gave people a feeling of thousands of troops!

Gu Yuefeng felt an invisible giant blade condensing in the night sky, hanging over his head, which could fall at any time.

The only cavalry in the world that could bring such pressure to a peak Dao Foundation powerhouse like him is the Imperial Camp Army!

Gu Yuefeng stood calmly in place; this Imperial Camp Army charging toward him stopped at a distance of less than thirty meters from him.

From a fast charge to a sudden stop, the whole process was smooth and flowing, showing super control.

The leader of the Imperial Camp cavalry was also a Dao Foundation powerhouse; he rode the exotic beast Green Nightmare Horse and continued forward, stopping more than ten meters away, looking at Gu Yuefeng, and said in a cold and stern voice:

"This is Datong Prefecture; I warn you not to act recklessly."

If it were one-on-one, this Dao Foundation Imperial Camp commander might not even be able to take a single sword strike from Gu Yuefeng.

But he also brought fifty Imperial Camp soldiers this time.

One hundred Imperial Camp cavalrymen forming a military formation could fight a Martial Arts Master; fifty Imperial Camp cavalrymen forming a formation to charge was enough to threaten a peak Dao Foundation powerhouse like Gu Yuefeng!

Gu Yuefeng did not respond to the other party; he was used to responding with a sword.

If it were another place, he would be very happy to use his sword edge to weigh the killing power of the Imperial Camp cavalry.

But before coming, he promised his Senior Brother that he would only draw his sword against two people on this trip.

So Gu Yuefeng turned to look at the Green-Faced Villa and said:

"Gu Yuefeng of the Qingshan Sword Sect has come to ask for a sword, inviting the Green-Faced Ghost to a battle—"

His voice was not high or grand, but it was like a sharp sword edge, piercing through the night sky and stabbing into the Green-Faced Villa, making everyone inside who heard it feel as if a sword had broken through the air past their ears!

He invited the Green-Faced Ghost to a battle; as long as the Green-Faced Ghost agreed, it would be a fair contest between martial artists, and Datong Prefecture could not manage it.

A moment later, no movement came from inside the Green-Faced Villa.

A flash of disappointment crossed Gu Yuefeng's eyes, and he turned and left directly.

The Imperial Camp cavalry team sent by Governor Bian Jingru followed Gu Yuefeng at a distance, and only left after "escorting" the other party back to the guesthouse.

That night, the deeds of "Moon-Missing Sword" Gu Yuefeng going alone to the Green-Faced Villa to invite the Green-Faced Ghost King to a battle quickly spread throughout Datong Fucheng.

Everyone knew that the Green-Faced Ghost King did not stand up to accept the challenge.

For a time, all kinds of rumors flew:

"This Ghost King is a bit cowardly."

"He was challenged to his face, and he didn't even dare to accept the challenge."

"Hmph, what kind of Ghost King, he only dares to be fierce in his own nest!"

"We still have to count on Professor Qin Zhen from our Wu University, otherwise the face of Datong Prefecture will be completely lost today!"

"."

Regarding this matter, it was not just the Jianghu that was hotly discussing it; the ordinary people in the city were also discussing it.

Because Datong Prefecture has a Wu University, the people of Datong Prefecture have always been proud of it, and psychologically they have a feeling of being a cut above the provincial capital.

So when they heard that a martial arts expert from the provincial capital was challenging a local expert from Datong Prefecture, the people of Datong Prefecture naturally hoped that the local expert would win.

If it were normal times, it would be fine, but now it just happened that a Hongyi University was established in the provincial capital, and the competitive sentiment between Datong Prefecture and the provincial capital immediately reached its peak!

The Green-Faced Ghost King is the most prominent figure in the past six months, and even many ordinary people in Datong Prefecture have heard his name.

Now that the Green-Faced Ghost King actually dared not accept the challenge, his reputation immediately plummeted.

Government building.

In the office, the secretary reported to Governor Bian Jingru:

"My lord, Nalan Zhi submitted an application to Wu'an University today, hoping that this exchange between Hongyi University and Wu'an University can be held publicly, so that people from the outside can also see it."

Governor Bian Jingru: "What did President Shi say?"

Secretary: "President Shi agreed; the two sides are scheduled to conduct the exchange on the playground of Wu University two days later, and people from all walks of life can go to visit."

"Hmm."

Governor Bian Jingru nodded.

Since Shi Caiming agreed, he had nothing to say.

Moreover, he believed that Wu University still had a very good chance of winning.

What truly made him feel worried was another matter.

"My lord, this is the newspaper published by the Feng Province Newspaper this morning."

The secretary handed a newspaper to Governor Bian Jingru.

Governor Bian Jingru took it and saw a striking headline on the cover:

"Provincial Capital Expert Invites Green-Faced Ghost King to Battle"

"Heh."

Governor Bian Jingru laughed.

The official newspaper of Feng Province actually made Jianghu anecdotes the key news on the cover; the provincial capital is truly "unconstrained by small details."

This news detailed the past combat records of "Moon-Missing Sword" and the Green-Faced Ghost King, and then emphasized that the Green-Faced Ghost King avoided the battle last night.

Governor Bian Jingru could easily control other newspapers in Datong Prefecture, making them afraid to report news he didn't want to see.

Only the Feng Province Newspaper had an official background and relied on the provincial capital, so Governor Bian Jingru could not control it.

"My lord, Jianghu people care most about fame; I'm afraid that the Green-Faced Ghost King will eventually be unable to hold back."

The secretary said worriedly.

"It's a matter of life and death; if he really can't hold back, don't blame me for not being sentimental."

Governor Bian Jingru said expressionlessly.

It was not that he felt the Green-Faced Ghost would definitely lose to Gu Yuefeng, but that the Green-Faced Ghost had another identity that could not be seen in the light.

Once the Green-Faced Ghost and Gu Yuefeng fought, they would inevitably use their full strength; in that case, his identity as the Blood-Faced Ghost would be very difficult to hide!

On the day of the execution ground robbery, many people saw the Blood-Faced Ghost take action.

On the day the provincial capital special train was intercepted, survivors also saw the Blood-Faced Ghost take action.

The body shape can be changed, the voice can be changed, and the face can be changed, but the internal energy of a martial arts expert cannot be easily changed.

That kind of internal energy that is like blood-colored crystals, extremely sharp, and will explode into blood mist after being shattered, has only been used by the Blood-Faced Ghost so far.

Once in full view, the Green-Faced Ghost uses this kind of internal energy in the battle with Gu Yuefeng, the provincial capital can seize this handle and report this matter to the center!

The Central Cabinet requires Governor Bian Jingru to arrest the Blood-Faced Ghost, otherwise he will be removed from his position.

Even if there is room for maneuver in this matter, it is impossible for Governor Bian Jingru to gamble with his official position.

So as long as the fact that the Green-Faced Ghost is the Blood-Faced Ghost is exposed, Governor Bian Jingru can only choose to immediately kill the Green-Faced Ghost and give the center an explanation!

This is the purpose of Xu Jing hoping that Gu Yuefeng would come to Datong Prefecture.

He does not have absolute confidence in Gu Yuefeng, feeling that Gu Yuefeng will definitely be able to defeat the Green-Faced Ghost.

He just believes that Gu Yuefeng will definitely be able to force out all of the Green-Faced Ghost's strength.

As long as the Green-Faced Ghost dares to accept the challenge, he will inevitably be exposed!

So the result Xu Jing wants to see is actually the Green-Faced Ghost avoiding the battle.

He feels that the Green-Faced Ghost should also be a person who cherishes his life; if the other party still wants to find him for revenge, he should cherish his life even more!

As long as the Green-Faced Ghost does not accept the challenge, his reputation will be hit, and his state of mind will also be covered in dust.

Xu Jing just wants to let the Green-Faced Ghost also experience the taste of a mental block!

On the morning of July 6th, the Feng Province Newspaper used a full page of the newspaper to introduce this battle between the Green-Faced Ghost and Gu Yuefeng, and Feng Sanniang was also mixed in.

The public still prefers to watch such stories of jealousy over a woman, which will have more empathy.

The official newspaper of Feng Province had always published relatively serious news before; this was the first time it published such Jianghu anecdotes, and the sales were unexpectedly good!

That afternoon, the Feng Province Newspaper, contrary to its usual practice, issued two newspapers in one day.

The second newspaper only introduced one thing:

The newly established Hongyi University will conduct an "academic exchange" with Wu'an University in two days, and everyone can come to watch.

For a time, the entire Datong Fucheng began to look forward to it.

The newly established Hongyi University is in the provincial capital, and it already has the meaning of competing with Wu University.

Now Hongyi University has taken the initiative to send people to Datong Prefecture to conduct a competition with Wu University; the meaning of tit-for-tat is simply too obvious.

Almost all the people of Datong Prefecture are looking forward to Wu University being able to teach the people of Hongyi University a hard lesson!

And as long as this matter is mentioned, many people will take the opportunity to scold the Green-Faced Ghost who dares not accept the challenge.

Two days passed quickly.

At 10:00 AM on July 8th, the East Gate of Wu University opened to the outside world, and everyone could enter to watch the "academic exchange" between Hongyi University and Wu'an University today.

Seeking minimum monthly tickets.
