"The previous Netherworld King invites you to a duel on Kunlun."

On the phone, Catherine said slowly.

Upon hearing this news, Xiao Zheng first frowned slightly, then a cold smile appeared on his face.

Because the call was on speaker, Long Qie also heard this news.

He was equally stunned for a moment, then couldn’t help but frown and say, "What is the previous Netherworld King up to? Just finished dealing with Hades, and now he wants to challenge you? Does he intend to directly trigger a war between Eastern and Western cultivators and alien races?"

Western alien races and Eastern Martial Cultivators have always been deadly enemies.

There has been a long-standing grievance between the two factions, and throughout history, many extremely fierce battles have broken out.

Previously, because of Xiao Zheng’s relationship with Hades, the relationship between the two factions had slightly eased. But now Morren’s challenge to Xiao Zheng means directly putting the two factions on opposing sides.

Upon hearing this, Catherine on the other end of the phone said, "I’m not really sure about the reasons behind this. The news came out of the Netherworld King Temple very suddenly, and as soon as I received it, I called you guys."

"The whole European alien race is in an uproar now."

Her words were not exaggerated.

Given Morren’s current status in the European alien race, it’s no exaggeration to say that even if he so much as sneezes, the whole of Europe would shake. Let alone arranging a duel with an Evil God.

From the moment the news left the Netherworld King Temple, major forces across Europe began to discuss this Kunlun battle.

"What exactly is Morren thinking? To make such a big deal out of this?" Long Qie frowned and said, "If he loses, where will his face be?"

"But what if he doesn’t lose?" Catherine suddenly said.

Long Qie was stunned again and couldn’t help but mutter, "Do you mean he’s setting up traps in Kunlun in advance?"

Catherine replied, "That possibility can’t be ruled out. Moreover, you and I saw how strong Hades was. Even she lost to Morren, so Morren’s strength must be above hers."

"Xiao Zheng, I think you should consider this more carefully."

In the past, Catherine was always the most unserious one.

Whenever she spoke to Xiao Zheng, she wouldn’t say more than a few sentences before starting to flirt.

But today, Catherine was more serious than ever. She doesn’t want to see anything happen to Xiao Zheng, and neither does Long Qie and the others.

After a brief silence, Xiao Zheng finally smiled and said, "Actually, I think you really don’t need to worry about me. Especially since he challenged me."

"Why? His open challenge to you clearly implies he believes he’s certain to defeat you?" Long Qie frowned and asked.

"You’re all actually wrong. On the surface, his challenge might seem like a declaration of his determination to the world that he’ll defeat me," Xiao Zheng paused, then continued, "But in my view, he’s intentionally stalling for time."

"If I’m not mistaken, the date of the duel he set is at least three days from now or even longer, right?"

Upon hearing this, Catherine was first stunned, then opened her mouth and said, "Correct, he challenged you to a duel in Kunlun seven days later. But how did you guess this?"

"As I suspected, and the reason is simple, he’s injured and needs time to heal," Xiao Zheng said with a cold smile, "Even if he has the power to defeat Hades, it certainly wouldn’t come easy."

"In that battle with Hades, he definitely got injured."

Upon hearing this, Long Qie’s eyes lit up, and he said, "This explanation might really explain the reason behind his challenge. But if he’s injured, can he recover in just seven days?"

"Seven days later, even if he’s not fully healed, he has to come to battle," Xiao Zheng said with a cold smile, "Because he’s afraid I might rush to Europe in a rage to settle accounts with him. By that time, he wouldn’t even have those seven days."

"Then why don’t we take advantage of his weakness and finish him off now! Let’s mobilize everyone and directly go to Europe to kill him!" Long Qie’s eyes flashed with a hint of killing intent, and he said with a cold tone.

"Do you really think he’s an idiot? Wouldn’t he hide?" Xiao Zheng glanced at him with a half-smile, then said, "If I’m not mistaken, he’s already hiding in a very secret place."

"Even if we find him, it will definitely take several days. Compared to the seven-day deadline, it’s not much different."

Hearing this, Long Qie couldn’t help but sigh and say, "This Morren really is a cunning old fox; he’s got everything accounted for. It seems that this seven-day deadline is something we have to give him, even if we don’t want to."

"He’s indeed a difficult enemy; otherwise, how could he have defeated Hades?" Xiao Zheng smiled and said, "But no matter how strong he is, I will kill him."

As his words fell, a chilling killing intent was evident.

Long Qie was inwardly apprehensive, choosing to remain silent.

Xiao Zheng then spoke to Catherine on the other end of the phone, "Help me send back a message to him, saying that I accept his challenge. Make sure he cleans his neck well because I will personally cut off his head."

"Don’t worry, leave it to me," Catherine said, "I can ensure that within ten minutes, this message will spread across the world!"

After saying that, she directly hung up the phone.

As expected, ten minutes later, Xiao Zheng’s reply once again shocked the world.

The duel between the previous Netherworld King and the Evil God had become a hot topic of discussion among many alien races and martial cultivators during their idle chats. Almost everyone who knew about it would discuss the duel whenever they met.

However, people quickly realized a problem.

Where exactly in Kunlun is the dueling spot?

Kunlun is so vast; it’s beyond people’s imagination.

It has expansive uninhabited areas and deeply rooted endless legends.

Let alone two people; even if a million people were thrown into it, it would be hard for them to run into each other. So now everyone is eagerly wanting to know the exact location of the duel in hopes of witnessing the event in person.

However, neither the Netherworld King Temple nor the Sky Net has mentioned the duel location. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

This is why the location of this duel has become this century’s biggest unsolved mystery.
