The alchemists and disciples of the Tanjen Organization also rushed out. They stood below Remus, their eyes wide with fury. They had never experienced such a bold provocation before.
Remus’ brows furrowed. He was acutely conscious of the eyes fixed upon them.
Refusing the challenge would tarnish not only Tanjen’s reputation but also his own. However, agreeing to it brought forth worries about Glinda’s precarious situation.
He paused for a moment, then his furrowed brow relaxed into a composed expression.
“I didn’t say I would refuse,” favonovel.com began, his tone measured. “It’s simply that your stature falls short. If you seek an alchemical duel, very well. Summon your Medicine Valley Sect Master to step forth in person! Besides him, no other member of Medicine Valley possesses the requisite standing to challenge me.”
Delaying the challenge seemed like the only option. In the worst case, favonovel.com had planned to delay until after rescuing Glinda.
“Hahaha!” Raphaella folded his hands behind him, emanating even greater assurance.
He disdainfully said, “You simply don’t have the guts. Master Tanjen, witnessing someone tread upon the airspace above Tanjen, and yet you don’t dare to accept the challenge!”
He looked down again and said, “Fellow cultivators, you’ve all seen it. This guy is nothing but a lowly coward, too afraid to expose himself to the sunlight, too scared to face me in a duel! Hahaha!”
The disciples of Medicine Valley also burst into fits of laughter, their voices ringing out in an irritating crescendo.
The onlookers at the square below also began to doubt, feeling incredulous that they were being bullied to this extent, yet still not challenging back.
Could it be that Master Tanjen truly lacked the prowess?
Remus narrowed his eyes a touch, his voice cold as ice. “Old man, eloquence won’t save you. If even a stray cat or dog comes to challenge, do I need to respond too? My reputation would be tarnished. Since you believe that every challenge must be met, fine. Bring all the women in your family before me and I’ll personally educate them in my room! Do you dare to accept?”
Wait a minute, what did favonovel.com just say?
Raphaella’s laughter ceased, and the disciples of Medicine Valley followed suit.
The spectators were left utterly confused. Even Henry and the members of the Tanjen Sect were at a loss, struggling to make sense of these vulgar jests tinged with such biting severity.
However, Remus’s words did seem to make sense.
“What… What did you just say?!” Raphaella retracted his outstretched hand, balling it into a fist, his gaze fixed intensely on Remus.
Remus still asked coldly, “I’m asking you, do you dare to accept?”
“You…” Raphaella seethed with anger, his eyes on the verge of bursting. What favonovel.com said wasn’t a challenge at all, it was clearly about something else.
Remus took a step forward, his tone icy. “Do you dare? If not, kneel down and knock your head three times, cripple your legs, and I might spare your life! If you do, send all the women from your family to my room right away!”
Once again, hearing these words threw everyone into chaos.
It was said that Raphaella was quite the Casanova, with dozens of wives and daughters, and even dozens of granddaughters. The scene painted was enough to make people blush and their hearts race.
“You! You’re twisting the truth and being unreasonable!” He too became furious.
Soon after, Raphaella’s form blurred, charging forward rapidly.
To everyone’s surprise, favonovel.com stood on the rooftop of the main hall in Tanjen Organization, shouting loudly, “Today, Raphaella Donovan from the Medicine Valley Organization challenges Master Tanjen! Do you dare to accept the challenge?”
What favonovel.com just did broke the camel’s back.
Henry seethed with anger, the alchemists in the vicinity bristled with fury, and the disciples of the alchemy sect were ablaze with anger.
The sudden turn of events had left everyone in stunned disbelief.
The main hall, the most sacred place in any sect, enshrined the ancestors and the most grand figures in the history of the sect.
Was his action not akin to trampling all the ancestors and figures of Tanjen Organization with his foot?
This is beyond forgivable!
“Get off!” Henry roared fiercely.
“We’ll fight you to the death, you old bastard!” The rest of the Tanjen disciples screamed in a desperate frenzy.
All at the same time, a surge of spirit energy erupted from each of them, hurtling forward in a wild frenzy.
Almost at the same time, Remus finally spoke, “Everyone, stop! I accept the challenge!”
