Xuanmen Prodigal Son

Chapter 397: Win or lose

Views:

"Legend has it that the fire we demons sacrifice will take the souls of the deceased to the place they want most. I didn't believe it before, but now I desperately want this legend to be true."

Hearing this, Chu Tianxiao shook his head: "This may be cruel... But I can be sure that you will never see Qin Yun again... When the demons made him look like that, if he lost, his body and soul would be destroyed..."

Hearing this, Qin Jiaojiao's beautiful eyes trembled, and then she closed her eyes in pain: "Is this so..."

"So..." Chu Tianxiao wanted to say more, but Qin Jiaojiao waved her hand and showed a heartbreaking smile: "But... what does it matter?"

Chu Tianxiao was stunned when he heard this. He was silent for a moment, then he looked up at Qin Jiaojiao's indifferent expression. Finally, he sighed...

"In that case, take care."

Qin Jiaojiao heard the voice, and the smile on her face became more beautiful. She nodded to Chu Tianxiao and said, "Mr. Chu is the same... cherish the person in front of you!"

After saying this, she walked away without looking back, and Chu Tianxiao's gaze stayed on her for only a moment before he turned around and stepped into the red door...

Both of them knew that this time, it was a farewell forever.

"Ask the world, what is love?"

Chu Tianxiao just sighed, then quickly calmed down and looked at me with a sharp gaze... There were more important things waiting for him to complete!

Victory or defeat tonight depends on this one move!

Meanwhile, somewhere.

"Teacher, it's your turn."

In an elegant courtyard, a man wearing a half cicada shell mask said respectfully after dropping a child.

If you look closely, you will find that the mask on his left side is carved like a cicada shell, with only the pupils showing, making him look somewhat hideous and scary; but the face on the right side is handsome and elegant, like a handsome young man, and the whole person looks like a cloud of mist, making it impossible to see through him.

He is none other than the Demon Prince, Chan!

In front of Chan, there was a man in a black robe and a white mask. This man looked much more ordinary than Chan. The white mask he wore was very ordinary, not at all ferocious, just like a street vendor in a human market. If there was anything special about it, it was that this mask completely covered his face, leaving no gaps, unlike His Highness Chan, who exposed his pupils...

Apart from that, there is nothing special about it. However, this plain outfit gives people an inexplicable feeling...

The reason is nothing else but... he is dry.

It makes the heroes fear and the human race vigilant.

He is the great wise man of the demon clan, the high priest, the great elder, and the regent!

There were countless powerful people who wanted to find him and kill him! However, if those truly powerful people saw where he was now, they would be shocked beyond words!

Because... when you look closely, you can find that although this place looks very much like a courtyard on earth, in fact, the hideous corners around it and the evil spirit hidden in the air all show that this is definitely not a place on earth!

This place... is another strange place! In other words, the Ku that many powerful human beings hate so much is actually... not in the human world at all

Then who was the one who set up the first half of the game tonight? If it was really Ku, then why was he here

This scene was simply unbelievable, even completely illogical... Did Ku return to this place, or did he... never appear in the human world

No one in the vast land of China knew the answers to these questions. Even among the demons, only a few such as the "Demon Lord" knew a little about them. The only one who truly understood the whole picture was... Cicada!

In fact, in recent years, there is no one other than Chan who can play chess with Ku face to face...

At that moment, the words of the cicada fell in this silent place, and seemed particularly clear. Then he heard Ku Weiwei hum, stretched out his white right hand, and made a move in the corner.

This move seemed to be useless, but Chan's pupils shrank slightly: "Teacher, what you mean is... there is a pawn crossing the river?"

Ku said nothing.

Chan hesitated for a moment, then smiled: "I guess it was that woman from the Jiang family who ruined things? As expected, women are women! So willful and reckless..."

"Unfortunately, even if she has holy blood, she will never be able to break my plan."

"She thought she had stopped the ritual? But she didn't know that I never trusted her, so how could I completely entrust her with the ritual?"

As he spoke, the cicada dropped a move, showing its sharp edge, as if with infinite confidence, he wanted to cut off a dry dragon!

"Teacher, you only need me as your disciple... There is no need for you to exist!"

After the sound, Ku remained silent. He just raised his hand and made another move. It was still ordinary. Chan tapped his chin slightly when he saw this. He thought quietly for a moment and was about to make a move when he suddenly heard hurried footsteps...

"Your Highness Chan! The ritual is about to be completed. The three priests ask you to go to the front hall immediately!"

"… Very good!" Chan raised his lips slightly when he heard that. He shook his sleeves lightly, stood up, and bowed to Ku.

"Teacher, you once said that the land of the human world is beautiful, with clear water and beautiful mountains, and is blessed by nature. Once you see it by chance, you will never forget it."

Having said this, he paused, turned around, waved his sleeves, and spoke with infinite confidence and pride.

"So… "

"This time, I will bring the human world to you!"

Having said that, he turned and left.

Here, a tree is full of cicadas chirping!

Seeing his disciple slowly walking away, Ku still didn't say a word. Instead, he lowered his head, holding a black dot in his hand, rubbing his fingers gently on it, as if he was thinking...

After a while, he kowtowed slightly, shook his head and said, "It's useless to entangle."

With a thought in mind, he waved his hand.

Immediately, two powerful demon guards appeared in the courtyard with a whoosh.

"This subordinate greets the Great Elder!"

Ku made a gesture, which immediately surprised them!

"What the Great Elder means is..."

Ku didn't say anything, just nodded. One of the demon guards couldn't understand what was going on, so he asked, "But if we stop now, Lu Xuan..."

After he said this, he immediately realized his mistake and knelt on the ground. Another demon guard also knelt down immediately. However, Ku didn't seem to care about it. Instead, he waved his hand. The two of them immediately stood up as if they had been pardoned. They said in unison: "We will follow the orders of the great elder!"

After saying this, the two of them quickly turned around and left. Ku looked at the chessboard again. After an unknown amount of time, he murmured a few words calmly...

"This round, the winner is decided."

"Jun'er, I won."

"The cicada will not be smooth sailing this time."

“…Alright.”

While mumbling, he pointed his right hand and dropped a chess piece, but it was at the Tianyuan position. Then, he slowly took off his mask, stared at the chess piece with deep eyes, and muttered thoughtfully...

"The future... Master of Xuanmen?"
