Chapter 1236: Chessboard!
"Great!" Su Yi agreed with a nod.
"Oh, right!"
After a moment, he looked at the Green Emperor, Yang Ming, and Ying Ming, and asked, "What are your plans?"
The three Beast Emperors declined the high positions offered by the Heavenly Demon Temple. They had their own ideas and definitely wouldn’t stay in the sect.
"Since the master wants to find out about the secret realm, why don’t we also head in that direction? We can separate from the master on the way but once we’re near the secret realm, if anything happens, we can quickly support each other!" said the Green Emperor.
Yang Ming spoke up, "That’s a good plan, but at the beginning, we should avoid mixing with human crowds. Otherwise, it’s easy for someone to recognize us."
Su Yi and the Green Emperor nodded in agreement. The Overlord Sect’s reputation was well-known, and many people had seen the Beast Emperors. It wouldn’t be good if they were recognized and couldn’t hide their identities.
"That’s how it’s decided, we split into two groups and head towards the direction of the secret realm. If everything goes smoothly, we won’t need to meet. But if there’s any trouble or if the secret realm emerges, hurry and join us as soon as possible."
Finally, Su Yi made the final decision.
In general, the strong members of Overlord Sect were divided into three groups. Su Yi, Su Xiaoshuai, and Feng Qier went one way, secretly approaching the secret realm. The Green Emperor, Yang Ming, and Ying Ming went another way, hiding their tracks and having more contact with many demon beasts, also getting closer to the secret realm. Finally, Xi Wuqing and the remaining strong members stayed behind, waiting for Su Yi to bring back the message and then deciding how many people should go.
As for how to send the message back…
Su Yi wasn’t worried about it. He thought that if Elder Xie was there, he might be able to use the power of Cangyun Temple or send a demon beast to bring the message back to the sect, both of which were feasible.
Not only that, Overlord Sect could also send people to guard the nearest city and get firsthand information through Lingbao Pavilion.
"Anyway, be careful!"
Xi Wuqing reminded once again, and then discussed some things with Su Yi and others before leaving.
Su Yi didn’t ask what the Green Emperor, Yang Ming, and Ying Ming were going to do. Since he let them go, he didn’t need to ask too much. Anything necessary for him to know, the three Beast Emperors would definitely not keep it from him.
Su Yi found Feng Qier and told her about his plan to go out and experience, stating that he wanted to take her with him.
After Feng Qier heard it, she immediately agreed without hesitation.
The girl has undergone a huge change in her overall demeanor compared to before. She is no longer as fragile, but instead, she is becoming more confident.
However, Su Yi could see that without any experience, Feng Qier, no matter how confident she is, still lacks strength!
At the very least, she needs to shed blood in order to truly begin growing!
In this world, no one can stay innocent. If you don’t get your hands dirty, especially in the Chaos Realm, how could you survive?
"I need to bid farewell to the master!"
When Su Yi mentioned the time of departure, Feng Qier immediately thought of Xi Wuqing.
But for some reason, the girl seemed completely unaware of Xi Wuqing’ intentions and still didn’t bring up the idea of apprenticeship herself. She still addressed him as "master."
Su Yi thought that he would need to remind her in the future. It wouldn’t be right to let his older brother be the one to bring it up.
The most important thing was that he felt Feng Qier knew what his big brother meant, but she pretended not to know.
"Get ready, we will leave early the day after tomorrow!"
After giving a brief explanation, Su Yi walked away.
Su Xiaoshuai had already flown away on his own, not knowing where he went, while Su Yi went to find Ji Hanluo.
Knowing that they were about to return to Mysterious Sword Gate, Ji Hanluo’s eyes welled up again. She and her father had also experienced a life and death separation!
…
It had been several days since Elder Xie, Elder Zhong, Elder Tang, and others left Overlord Sect.
With their travel speed, they had already returned to their respective sects at this time.
Nine Star Valley.
In a deep valley, very peaceful, the eyes were covered with lush greenery, and the ears were filled with the crisp sound of birds.
This deep valley seemed incredibly calm, but if someone with deep cultivation was here, it would not be difficult to notice that among the layers of rugged rocks and dense ancient trees, there were faint flickering starlights.
Within the starlight, there was a mysterious power, which inexplicably made people cautious and fearful.
At this time, in an open area in the deep valley, it was surrounded by trees.
On this open ground, a middle-aged man with a face like jade sat on a stone stool, and in front of him was a stone table with a chessboard carved on it, nine vertical and nine horizontal lines!
Where the lines of the chessboard intersected, they looked like black stars, carrying a soul-devouring power, just one glance, and it made people feel awe-inspiring!
On the surface of the chessboard, there were streams of starlight, blooming and incredibly beautiful.
Black and white chess pieces covered almost half of the chessboard. On the other side of the stone table, an elderly man in his fifties pondered for a moment and gently placed a piece.
"Valley Master, Elder Tang has returned!"
Suddenly, a figure appeared not far away, and the sound entered the ears of the middle-aged man and the old man in their fifties.
The middle-aged man didn’t say anything. After thinking for a while, he picked up a white piece beside his hand and then put it down, saying, "Let Elder Tang come and see me!"
"Yes!" The person who just spoke obeyed the order and left.
"Lord of the Valley, Tang Wang ignored your orders. His behavior this time was really outrageous!"
Across from the middle-aged man, the old man placed another piece and said calmly.
The middle-aged man, with his jet-black hair neatly combed behind his head, had a gentle scholarly demeanor. While making his move, he said, "Elder Tang was just eager to help Su Yi because of his talent. However, his actions did go too far."
When speaking, the middle-aged man, who holds the title of Lord of the Nine Star Valley, seemed completely unconcerned and possessed a refined temperament.
But the old man opposite him knew that for the Lord of the Valley to use the words "go too far" meant that Elder Tang had already crossed some boundaries in his mind.
"This Su Yi has attracted a lot of suspicion. It seems that both Cangyun Temple and Blood Sun Sect are very interested! Originally, we had the chance to capture him in our hands this time, but unfortunately, we ended up with nothing! It will be even harder to have this kind of opportunity again!"
The old man spoke and continued to place his pieces, saying.
"This matter is difficult to judge, whether it is difficult or not, it all depends on the strategies of each player."
The leader of Nine Star Valley had a faint smile on his face and said, "Elder Nie, I have won this game!"
