When one has reached the point where he can use all living beings as chess pieces, his position is certainly above all other living beings, at least in the eyes of the chess player himself. Therefore, it is rare to describe an immortal cultivator as "so amazing".
"How is it?"
The voice of the other person seemed to be nearby, but at this moment it seemed to be at the horizon. The chess player, who sensed that Tu Siyan was dead, looked at the powder gradually disappearing in the palm of his hand. The same feeling as that of the chess piece was also fading rapidly, but the impression was still there.
"Being able to kill Tu Siyan in a teasing manner in Jade Fox Cave Heaven, perhaps, the immortal was able to sense the blurred boundaries at some point..."
The voice from the side did not echo for a long time, and the chess player who lost a chess piece did not speak for a while.
After a long time, another voice was heard.
"It seems like it's time."
"Yes, even though there are only a few such immortals in the world, this in itself is another proof!"
“That makes sense!”
Even though I lost the chess piece, my goal had been achieved, and I even got an unexpected surprise.
…
Ji Yuan was of course aware that Tu Siyan's death would draw the attention of the chess player behind him, but just as he had thought before he made up his mind, this was also a move on his part, the significance of which was to take the initiative in joining the game rather than to show how much chess skill he had.
People often say that a bystander sees more clearly, but one must actually do it oneself to truly understand it. Ji Yuan is both a bystander and a game player. There is no need to be timid, after all, others don't know that he is the one playing the game.
His existence is that of an immortal cultivator with profound Taoism, a wandering immortal in the mountains without any sect or school. He seems to be free and easy, and does not pay attention to details when doing things. He has a wide range of hobbies but seems to be a bit idle. He says he follows the immortal way but does not hesitate to come into contact with demons and monsters. He says he follows the unorthodox way, but he actually follows the way of nature.
Ji Yuan had taken the initiative to blend with the heaven and earth before, and was able to understand many truths. Since he had the ambition to protect all living beings in the heaven and earth, and the other party was the opposite of him, although the heaven and earth were not kind, they were also spiritual, which made Ji Yuan blend into the heaven and earth. He was confident that the other party would not see anything even if they were face to face.
Putting himself in his opponent's shoes, Ji Yuan put himself in his opponent's position. He suddenly discovered that there was such an immortal cultivator among the countless people, and he might want to get in touch with him. Even though the possibility of a personal encounter was not high, Ji Yuan somewhat hoped that the other party would do so.
"If what they think is what I expected..."
Ji Yuan had a lot of things in his mind. He looked into the distance at the place where heaven and earth met, but he was not just looking at the heaven and earth in his eyes? Of course, it couldn't be crazy to want to destroy heaven and earth? But maybe Ji Yuan could understand some things? But he would never agree with them.
"Mr. Ji? Tu Siyan has been executed? Do you have time to go back with me and listen to the Buddhist scriptures in my Buddhist temple? And discuss Buddhist principles with me?"
The old monk Foyin's words brought Ji Yuan's thoughts back to reality. Ji Yuan gently shook his head and refused.
"Master, I appreciate your kindness, but I am not suitable to sit and listen to the sutra this time. Tu Siyan is dead, and the situation in Tianyuzhou will inevitably change in the future. The demon kings in Heihuang have kidnapped a large number of mortals before. Without Tu Siyan as a bond, some demons will definitely return to 'guard the wealth'..."
Foyin Mingwang knew what Jiyuan meant and of course would not try to keep him.
"Good, Mr. Ji is kind-hearted. Just go ahead. I will pay more attention to Jade Fox Cave Heaven."
Ji Yuan bowed to the old monk Foyin.
"Thank you, Master Foyin. The world will be in trouble in the future. Master, please be careful!"
Although all the righteous people in the world are nominally of the same path, they still have their own regional concepts. The chaos in Tianyuzhou is also a sensitive point for the cultivators in Tianyuzhou. As a venerable Mingwang of Buddhism, no one would stop Master Foyin from going there, but he would definitely be disliked by the "superiors" in Tianyuzhou. Now that the situation is moving towards stability, he certainly doesn't need to and has no need to offend.
After Ji Yuan said goodbye, he was ready to leave, but Foyin Mingwang asked another question with a smile.
"Mr. Ji, what do you think of the Sword Book written by the Nine-Tailed Fox Tu Miao?"
Ji Yuan smiled.
"I said in Jade Fox Cave that the paintings are very beautiful and the calligraphy is also very beautiful."
The old monk Foyin nodded.
"I have an incarnation in the Daliang Temple in Yunzhou, and I know that you are a master. It is not important to record the sword fight in the book. After all, I was able to witness it with my own eyes, which is far better than reading a book. But if hundreds or thousands of years later, the world thinks that the Sword Book in the hands of the nine-tailed fox Tu Miao is the scene of the sword fight, it is a bit inconsistent."
I didn't expect that the old monk Foyin would think so much. Ji Yuan himself didn't think that Tu Miao's writing would tarnish the sword debate.
"Okay, since the master said so, when I have time, I will write down the entire sword fight, then..."
Ji Yuan paused for a moment and thought for a moment, then gave a mischievous smile.
"How about calling it The Book of Sword?"
The old monk Foyin smiled and performed the Buddhist ceremony again.
"Good!"
After deciding this interesting thing, the two men bid farewell again. This time, the Buddha's light and the immortal light were divided into two paths. Foyin Mingwang returned to the Buddha's country, while Ji Yuan fled to the southeast, and soon flew higher and higher and stepped into the strong wind layer.
…
Time goes back to the moment when Ji Yuan killed Tu Siyan with a sword in his dream. In a cave close to the earth vein in Tianyu Continent, many demons with terrifying auras were gathered together.
There are tables, chairs, springs and abundant earth energy in this cave. Apparently, there are many restrictions that can block the breath of so many terrible monsters and prevent any leakage. It is indeed a land mansion, but we couldn't see where the land god is, and we don't know whether he has been in cahoots with the evildoers or has met with an accident.
In addition to the many demon kings and big monsters sitting around a round table, there were also many important members of the Apocalypse Alliance standing outside, such as Wang Youhong and Shi Jiu. However, Bei Mu, whose cultivation was obviously not enough, was already sitting at the table.
They seemed to be discussing something at this moment.
"Has Mrs. Spider appeared?"
The demons all felt that what happened in the previous city was a bit strange, so they were particularly careful about Mrs. Spider who suddenly escaped.
"Not yet. We can't find any trace of Madam Spider anywhere. Now that the secrets of Tianyuzhou have been messed up by us and those righteous monks, we can't tell whether she is dead or alive."
"If she's dead, who did it? If she's not dead... then why is she hiding from us? Apart from the departing demonic light, when was the last time you saw her?"
A man with a sharp voice was thinking in confusion, then glanced at Wang Youhong and Shi Jiu on the side.
Wang Youhong was slightly panicked but her face remained calm.
"We only met her once at the beginning. Madam Spider didn't like to be disturbed, so we didn't dare to visit her more often. One day later, she suddenly escaped. The people in our city were so surprised that they followed her. But after escaping thousands of miles, we were shocked to find that only a few of her companions had left. We didn't dare to go back to investigate..."
Someone looked at a charming woman who was lazily lying on the table and asked.
"Tu Siyan, what do you think happened to Madam Zhu?"
"Well, I'm not interested in talking about her. I'm playing chess with someone. You should urge your people to bring more people to Tianyuzhou, whether it's deceiving or forcing them to bring more people to Tianyuzhou. It's not chaotic enough..."
"Hehe! You, an incarnation, are here giving orders while your real body is hiding in Jade Fox Cave. You want us to fight to the death? I have suffered quite a few casualties in my demon army!"
Tu Siyan looked at the other person lazily and chuckled.
"You can take my nine-tailed body and yet you are still not satisfied?"
"Of course it tastes wonderful, but you are no longer the Kyuubi!"
Tu Siyan played with a strand of hair and just smiled. When she was about to say something, her body suddenly froze and an indescribable feeling of palpitations enveloped her whole body.
In a trance, I heard Ji Yuan's whisper: "... That sword is given to you..."
The next moment, an endless chill came over him, his consciousness disappeared in an instant, and the demonic energy in his body began to dissipate.
The demons next to him were not blind, and they noticed Tu Siyan's changes instantly.
"What happened to Tu Siyan?"
The demon king who had just snorted coldly approached Tu Siyan, grabbed her chin and raised his head.
"The incarnation dissipated?"
"No, this is... the soul dissipated, Tu Siyan is dead..."
"What?" "How is this possible!"
The changes before his eyes were indeed somewhat horrifying, but the facts were before his eyes. It was obvious that Tu Siyan's original spirit in Yuhu Cave Heaven had died.
"In the eyes of the righteous, Tu Siyan should have died under Dao Yuanzi's thunder magic a long time ago. And she was hiding in the Jade Fox Cave Heaven, so how could she have gotten into trouble?"
"But something happened to her!"
The demons present looked at each other, and slowly, their expressions began to change, and their eyes changed from horror to fear.
"Is there anyone here who would betray me?"
Upon hearing this, some people immediately sneered and ridiculed.
"What a joke! If there was someone who was betraying me, would they still come here?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the table fell silent again. Beimu, who had been silent, suddenly thought of something.
Beimu had gone to look for Luwu in person after Madam Spider disappeared. In Beimu's opinion, the secret of Luwu's true identity was only known to him and Luwu, and perhaps also to Niu Batian. Luwu had not known that there was a demon king named Madam Spider in the city before, but he instinctively never approached the neighborhood where Madam Spider lived, saying that he intuitively felt that it was very dangerous.
"Mr. Wang, when you fled, did all the people in the city leave together in a flash?"
Wang Youhong, who was horrified by Tu Siyan's death, suddenly jumped in his heart. Could he have been discovered? But he remained calm and quickly answered.
"I didn't look closely at this. We were just busy leaving and didn't pay much attention to many things. It was only later that I found that many of my companions were missing..."
"Northern Demon, what did you notice?"
Beimu sneered.
"I'm afraid those guys didn't disappear during their escape, but had disappeared before..."
"Is it an immortal cultivator?"
"Hmph, maybe it's Mrs. Spider."
The cave fell silent, and then soon spoke again.
"It's not suitable to stay here for long. Tu Siyan is dead. I'm leaving now!"
"I don't want to stay here anymore." "I'm leaving too!"
"Goodbye!"
Soon the demons gathered in the cave dispersed one after another. Wang Youhong and Shi Jiu, who felt both cold and excited, looked at each other secretly, and then left in a hurry.
In the end, only the corpse of Tu Siyan's incarnation was left lying in front of the table.
…
By the time Ji Yuan left Yuhu Cave, although many demons and monsters from the Black Wasteland were still in the midst of a carnival wreaking havoc on the human world, senior members of the Apocalypse Alliance such as Wang Youhong had already realized that a huge change had occurred.
Niu Batian and Lu Shanjun have been staying in an inn in a coastal city, and their food, clothing, housing and transportation are just like ordinary people.
Early in the morning of that day, the two people who were originally sitting in the lobby of the inn having breakfast suddenly felt something in their hearts and raised their heads almost at the same time. A moment later, Wang Youhong hurried in and whispered to Lao Niu and Lu Shanjun.
"Those guys from Heihuang are about to retreat, and they will definitely transfer the mortals they have abducted!"
