In Ji Yuan's eyes, Lian Ping'er is undoubtedly a more important figure in the opponent's chess player, or at least a more important chess piece, but she has repeatedly attacked him directly. In Ji Yuan's opinion, it is very likely that the opponent has become suspicious of him, Ji Yuan, and at least he must be on guard.
But it doesn't matter. Ji Yuan originally wanted to know a lot about the things about those lords from Lian Ping'er, and he could guess some of it himself. As for the more, those monstrous evildoers who thought they could defeat the heaven and earth would never tell him, no matter how good their relationship was.
No matter how powerful a person is, it is impossible for him to know everything about the world. It is like the other party does not know that Ji Yuan has made so many progress, so Ji Yuan has nothing to be dissatisfied with.
Ji Yuan knew very well that there would never be too many people who could play the chess of heaven and earth. Zhu Yan's incarnation had been eliminated, and Ji Yuan had some understanding of the whereabouts of the one from the Yuling Sect. The master that Lian Ping'er belonged to had always been hiding his whereabouts, but there were some connections. Apart from these three, it was unclear whether there was a fourth one.
Therefore, the power of righteousness still overwhelms the power of evil. Even if the other party really wants to attack him directly, Ji Yuan is not afraid at all. After all, he has killed Zhu Yan, and now he has the Xiezhi to help.
Ji Yuan would be happy if the status quo could be maintained. As the saying goes, time is on their side.
No matter what the opponent is preparing now, hesitating and thinking over and over again will only put him at a disadvantage. Ji Yuan's approach is to steadily implement his own chess strategy.
Having made up his mind, Ji Yuan put down the chess piece, picked up the black and white pieces on the chessboard one by one and put them back into the chess box, then stood up.
"Mother Zao, I may be away for a long time this time, please look after the house..."
Ji Yuan was about to say something when his body suddenly swayed slightly and his steps became a little unstable. In his perception, it seemed as if the heaven and earth were shaking slightly.
Rumble, rumble, rumble…
This feeling of slightly losing balance was something Ji Yuan hadn't experienced in a long time, and the people around him were also shocked at Ji Yuan's condition.
"Sir?" "Ji Yuan?" "Sir, what's wrong with you?"
Ji Yuan quickly stabilized his body. In fact, there was nothing wrong with his body just now, but some kind of induction from his heart.
"No problem."
After responding, Ji Yuan walked out of Ju'an Pavilion, flew to the sky above Ning'an County on a gust of breeze, looked towards the east, frowned slightly, and murmured.
"Could it be that the dragon clan is clearing the wasteland?"
Something that happened in the far east and could shake the heaven and earth might very well be the dragon clan's grand event of pioneering the wilderness. Just as he murmured to himself, Ji Yuan opened his eyes and immediately understood some things.
"We don't necessarily need to wait for those chess players to recover. If we want to shake the world, we can also use external forces..."
"For example, the dragon race mobilized the essence of the water and marshes in the world to rush to the chaos and open up the desolate sea, which is one of them."
Xiezhi also stepped on the wind and landed beside Ji Yuan, and took over Ji Yuan's words.
"Ah? Sir, will Ruoli be in danger?"
Zao Niang may not understand or care about any major events in the world, but the first thing she thought of was the safety of her good sister Ying Ruoli, and Ji Yuan immediately dispelled her worries.
"I have said before that opening up the wasteland sea is a great merit, and this fact itself will not change. Ruoli's opening up the wasteland has contributed to the world and all living things, and he is surrounded by thousands of aquatic creatures, so nothing will happen."
"Ji Yuan is right. Your good sister will be fine. But don't forget who pushed for the wasteland reclamation in the first place. I'm afraid it has something to do with Lian Ping'er and the others. But now, after so many years, all the water creatures in the world have come to help, and the dragons in the four seas have bravely taken the lead. Even if Ji Yuan stood up and said that the wasteland reclamation could not be done, would it work?"
It has to be said that Ying Ruoli is now the undisputed first goddess of the dragon clan. Whether it is her cultivation or her appearance, her fame or the hearts of the people in the dragon clan, she is the choice of everyone. Under the temptation of Ying Ruoli's charm and the merits of her pioneering work, this matter has changed from Ying Ruoli, a real dragon, shouldering the responsibility to a task that all aquatic creatures in the world share. It is the first grand event for aquatic creatures in the past two thousand years.
The expression on Xiezhi's face was solemn, and a bit of black smoke-like evil spirit emanated from the corners of its mouth.
“Even if we use force to stop Pihuang now, it will certainly arouse the wrath of the water tribes all over the world. We are naturally not afraid, but we are afraid that it will provoke a dispute between the water tribes and the immortals. Moreover, if this matter succeeds, Ji Yuan, the many dragon tribes who took the lead in forcing the palace, especially your dragon girl who is better than your closest relative, will eventually wither like a flower... They are also using an open conspiracy!”
The so-called thing that shook the heaven and earth and caused a great catastrophe, even if the feeling of death if revealing the secret of heaven is now getting looser, Ji Yuan cannot tell it clearly to thousands of water creatures. But if he organizes to open up the wasteland, then Ji Yuan will be the real enemy of thousands of water creatures, no matter how great you are, it will be useless.
Ji Yuan knew that Ying Ruoli would definitely believe him, and Lao Long and the Ying family would also believe him, but so what
"gentlemen… "
Hu Yun on the side was lying on the cloud with his mouth open, not daring to speak, while Zao Niang was very worried, but Xiezhi on the side shook his head and said something to comfort her.
"Mother Zao, you don't have to worry. Don't you know who your master is? If he wants to kill Ying Ruoli, even I can't bear it. How can he be so cruel?"
Xiezhi guessed correctly on this point. Ji Yuan had indeed regarded saving the common people as his own responsibility. But not to mention that making sacrifices would never solve the problem once and for all, Ji Yuan never liked those ridiculous questions like "saving mother or wife" and "can we sacrifice the minority to save the majority", not to mention that that person was extremely important to him.
"Humph, it's indeed a good plan, but if you think about it from another angle, it's exactly what I want. A thief can steal for a thousand days, but you can't guard against him for a thousand days. If an enemy comes, we will stop him with our troops and if a flood comes, we will block it with earth. That's what I want."
"Hey, just don't regret it decades later. I'll listen to you anyway."
Xiezhi laughed, and Ji Yuan smiled again.
"Since I was born into this world, I have never regretted doing anything. I never did before, and I never will in the future! Even if I lose in the end, I will have no regrets!"
After saying that, Ji Yuan waved his hand.
“Zheng—”
After a sword sound, the Qingteng Sword, which had been hanging on the top of the jujube tree and was comprehending the sword together with the small characters in the "Sword Intent Post" and the "Sword Book", flew into his hand and was held behind his back by Ji Yuan. The "Sword Intent Post" and the "Sword Book" also flew into Ji Yuan's sleeves.
"When we go out this time, don't let anyone run into us!"
Xiezhi has known Ji Yuan for a long time. Every time Ji Yuan was about to leave, the Qingteng Sword would follow him directly. He rarely took the initiative to hold the sword, which shows that his state of mind at the moment is in a state of "holding the sword".
"Sir, I want to go too..."
"And I!"
When Zao Niang said this, Hu Yun immediately agreed. The former was because he was worried about others, while the latter was not only worried about others but also about himself. If Zao Niang left, Hu Yun felt that if Lu Shanjun came looking for him, he would not even have the chance to hide in Ju'an Pavilion and would be finished.
Ji Yuan turned to look at Zao Niang and said softly.
"Mother Zao, my master will be away for quite a while this time. I hope you can stay at home and take care of your spiritual roots. Use your own practice to stimulate their growth. This spiritual root fruit of ninety-nine may be able to save many things."
Zao Niang clenched her fists and nodded slightly in response.
"Mrs. Zao will definitely keep your words in mind and won't make any mistakes!"
Ji Yuan looked at Hu Yun again.
"And you, I know you've been practicing hard enough. You may seem playful on weekdays, but it's just your nature. When you have time, spend more time with Zao Niang."
Hu Yun immediately looked serious, stood up straight and bowed.
"The first life decree!"
"Okay, I'll go." "Little bastard, practice hard. If you still don't transform next time I see you, I'll skin you alive!"
Ji Yuan and Xiezhi each left a word, then stepped on the flowing clouds and turned into a sword light like clouds, disappearing into the horizon.
Hu Yun looked a little sad.
"Mother Zao, I still can't see the shadow of transformation, Master said he wants to peel off my skin..."
"Well, I'll use it to sew a scarf for you, sir."
"Mother Zao, you..."
…
While Hu Yun and Zao Niang were returning to Ju'an Pavilion playfully, Ji Yuan and Xiezhi had already left Ning'an County in a short period of time and were even about to leave Desheng Prefecture.
Ji Yuan knew that as long as he opened his mouth, given Zao Niang's personality, she would most likely not step out of Ju'an Pavilion again, and would practice diligently under the tree to grow her spiritual roots.
But sometimes, some things are just so coincidental. The original growth of the jujube tree's spiritual roots was far from enough, and even a few hundred years would not be enough. Ji Yuan didn't expect that it would be useful this time. But it just so happened that Wang Youhong brought a piece of dead peach trees over and turned them into soil in the courtyard of Ju'an Pavilion.
It was not obvious at first, but this time when Ji Yuan came back, he was even surprised at the growth of the spiritual roots. Because he saw hope, Ji Yuan expected Zao Niang to grow her spiritual roots. And letting Hu Yun spend more time with Zao Niang was also doing his best to relieve Zao Niang's loneliness.
"Ji Yuan, where are we going first?"
Ji Yuan counted with his fingers, his mind moved slightly, and then he spoke.
"Starting from nearby, go to Xianxia Island first, then Wuliang Mountain, then Hengzhou, and then to the Western Regions. Of course, Changjian Mountain is also indispensable. The last three volumes of Huangquan will be delivered by Ji himself."
