Chapter 253: The Game of Life and Death

At this moment.

The appearance of the Shenxu Dizang world was still covered with a layer of mist in Su Chen's eyes.

Next.

Su Chen returned to the courtyard and continued to stay at home.

In the distance, the departing Zihuo Tianjun and Chu Yuntian did not go too far, but found a house in a town outside the imperial city and settled down.

"Master Tianjun, why don't you take action?"

Chu Yuntian couldn't help but ask the question in his mind out loud.

It is still okay that he, a Tianjue Divine Being, is no match for the other party. However, as a dignified Heavenly Monarch of the Second Realm, he is considered a prominent figure among the giants no matter in which immortal world he is in.

What's more, Zihuo Tianjun first achieved Tianjue Huashen and then ascended to Xiandao Huashen, the first realm and then the second realm, and was terribly powerful.

How could such a person be afraid of the other party?

"I said that."

"He is not walking the path of immortality."

Purple Fire Lord, repeat the narration.

Before leaving.

He turned his head and glanced, and saw the despair shrouding Su Chen. He was inexplicably shocked. Such power seemed like the soul thought of Tianjue, but it was far from comparable to the soul thought of Tianjue. It caused a storm in his heart.

Could it be that during the time they were away, in the immortal world within the vast starry sky, the way of the primordial spirit, above the Nine Transformations of Heaven and Man, had taken a new path?
But, how is this possible.

The source of the immortal path is the dazzling immortal world that has existed throughout the ages!

All paths to immortality are nurtured in the immortal world.

The years to come.

The immortal way will only become increasingly weaker.

not to mention.

The path of the Nine Transformations to Heaven and Man has been walked by countless immortal monarchs and even emperors, but none of them have walked out of the tenth transformation of the path of the soul. How could the other party be able to do it!
"Maybe it's just an illusion."

Zihuo Tianjun shook his head and quickly changed his words.

Subsequently.

He glanced at Chu Yuntian, who looked stunned and obviously shocked, and gave the order.

"Ignore this mysterious Taoist friend in front of me."

"It's time to fix the chaotic fate. And we need to find a way to get rid of the fate-defying martial saint who has all three bells ringing in one body as soon as possible."

"I'll leave this matter to you, and I'll take care of this mysterious Taoist friend."

In this regard.

Chu Yuntian nodded in agreement.

The Daxuan Dynasty is the area he is responsible for.

Logically speaking, with such a huge mistake, not only did a Ksitigarbha demon, a mysterious Taoist friend, and a person who defied fate appear, he should have been eliminated by the organization long ago for his incompetence.

Now that Purple Fire Lord has given the order, this is his chance to atone for his sins.

……

late at night.

The Great Xuan Imperial City.

In the courtyard, Su Chen woke up in a rattan chair. Next to him was a pot of unfinished spring wine. At the same time, in front of him, under the towering tree, a chessboard had appeared out of nowhere.

Also, there is a chess box with black pieces inside.

But there is only the black chess box.

"Are you playing a game from a distance?"

"You don't want to fight me, so you sent me this chess game, do you want to pin me down here?"

Su Chen smiled.

He glanced around.

As the chessboard condensed, a similarly large formation enveloped his courtyard, sealing him off like a chess game.

A white chess piece landed on the chessboard.

With such means, it turned out that the opponent, even a second-level god of formation, did not know what the second path he took out on the top of the cloud was based on the formation.

"It doesn't matter."

"I have some free time anyway."

Su Chen smiled, picked up a black piece and placed it on it.

moment.

Like the sky falling and the earth splitting apart.

In the courtyard, the chessboard formation was covered with a sound like the collapse of heaven and earth. Countless cracks appeared and billowing red fire burned, trying to fill the cracks.

"interesting."

"I thought this fellow Daoist would use that special soul thought to break the formation, but I didn't expect that the power of Dao Mark's foundation in the game of air was enough to make me feel a little overwhelmed..."

Outside the imperial city, Zihuo Tianjun's eyes were awakened. In front of him, there was also a chessboard, and he was holding the white chessboard in his hand.

The chessboard in front of him, centered around a black piece, was torn apart and on the verge of collapse, which made him look sideways.

I couldn't help but feel resentful in my heart.

This fellow Taoist clearly hasn't reached the level of a god yet, but with just ten Heavenly Absolute Dao Marks, he was able to suppress his dozens of Second Realm Dao Marks to such a degree. How much has he eaten in this Ksitigarbha World!
"It doesn't matter."

"Fellow Daoist, you can't cause any trouble."

"In the Ksitigarbha world, it belongs to our holy land. Who told you to come late, especially at this time? How could we possibly let you affect our plans and the picking of fruits?"

Bang!
Purple Fire Lord, make another move.

……

"It seems that he has been contained."

Chu Yuntian, wrapped in a black robe, sneaked back to the imperial city. He looked at the towering tree being covered by the cage formed by the chess formation, and he was completely relieved.

Take advantage of this opportunity.

He must eliminate the mortal martial saint Luo Qingshan as soon as possible.

"It's so damn good."

"It has only been a short time, and the chaotic fate has actually allowed this Ksitigarbha demon to grow to such a state..."

"If it was the Second in Command, or His Majesty, he would wake up."

"I'm afraid you won't even give me a chance to defend myself for such a dereliction of duty..."

Chu Yuntian stared at the huge monster that had lost its human form, had wings, horns, bloodshot eyes, and was inhuman.

It, like a shadow, covers the sky.

At the beginning.

It is still very weak.

Perhaps, he is not even as good as the Nascent Soul Stage.

Now, it is possible for it to directly devour a Heavenly God.

The demon of Ksitigarbha feeds on chaotic fate.

The fate must be restored as soon as possible!
Day two.

The entire Great Xuanhuang City was in an uproar.

It was because the great and powerful Prime Minister Chu, who was also a top grandmaster and had suddenly disappeared seven or eight years ago, suddenly returned.

His clothes were torn and he looked extremely miserable.

even so.

This Lord Prime Minister Chu is still a top grandmaster!

He went straight into the palace and no one dared to stop him.

Lord Chu, who had served two successive emperors, had held power in the court for seventy years. He had countless cronies, relatives, and old patrons, and many of his old friends were still important officials in the court of Emperor Ming.

then.

Old friends and followers came one after another, wanting to meet the former powerful leader, the Prime Minister Chu whom they followed.

that's it.

Lord Chu, surrounded by a crowd of people, entered the palace.

He knelt outside the Qiu Ming Palace for a long time.

"I, Chu Yuntian, seek an audience with His Majesty the Emperor."

"Your Majesty, in the past, I was invited by my martial arts friends to go to a secret place to find an opportunity to break through to become a martial arts saint. Unexpectedly, I was trapped there for eight years."

"It is my fault that I allowed Your Majesty to be bullied by the thieves from the noble families. I have failed the trust placed in me by the late Emperor Qiu Ming before his death..."

Chu Yuntian, who had neither the dignity of a Tianjue God nor the appearance of a top grandmaster, knelt outside the Qiu Ming Palace and shouted loudly, his voice shaking all around and could be heard throughout the entire palace.

Inside the Qiu Ming Palace.

The 19-year-old Emperor Ming was already a young man. When handling government affairs, he no longer imitated Emperor Qiu Ming, but was a real emperor.

His eyes were deep, as if they could see through the lies hidden in people's hearts. His head was tilted and his ears were tilted, as if he was listening to the voices of the people hidden in the memorial.

Emperor Ming has been reviewing memorials.

Even though the eunuchs in the inner court reported it again and again, he still turned a deaf ear to the former great master, the powerful prime minister of Daxuan, who was kneeling outside the palace.

a long time.

His eyes fixed on another figure in the hall.

"teacher."

"What is he thinking about doing?"

"Back then, why did Emperor Qiu Ming's father die? Others don't know the inside story, but doesn't he know it? Why did he disappear for eight years and dare to come back?"

That figure was Luo Qingshan.

The Heaven-Devouring Demonic Art gave him a chance to survive, allowing him to survive the punishment in the Daning Blackwater Prison, and also supported him in possessing the power of a martial saint.

but.

He is old. He is very old.

In addition, due to the overdraft of the Heaven-Devouring Demonic Art, he is still a Martial Saint in the world, but even he himself does not know how many years he has left to live.

Maybe ten years, maybe three years, he doesn’t know.

"There is me."

"Whatever he wants to do."

"It is also impossible to shake the great Xuan kingdom."

Luo Qingshan was narrating. He looked at the young emperor as if he were his own child.

Emperor Ming looked at Luo Qingshan.

This martial saint in the world is his best and greatest support, allowing him to ignore all factional influences and implement his own policies.

Killed the Prime Minister of Chu?

This thought flashed through his mind for a while, but was soon abandoned by the emperor.

To govern a country, you need ministers.

The government decrees also need to be implemented by his ministers layer by layer. If he really wants to govern the dynasty well, relying solely on the butcher's knife is not enough.

Killing the Prime Minister of Chu would only make him a tyrant, and would make the former Prime Minister's former friends and cronies panic, thinking that they were going to be rectified again and become alienated from him.

not to mention.

This is a top-notch grandmaster.

"That's all."

Emperor Ming sighed.

Subsequently.

He still did not summon Prime Minister Chu.

However, an imperial decree was issued.

In addition, the Prime Minister of Chu was reinstated and returned to the court to handle government affairs, continuing to assist him in handling state affairs as the Prime Minister.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Chu Yuntian, breathed a sigh of relief.

He is back.

The next step was to destroy the Daxuan nation.

The fate of Ksitigarbha's world is that no matter how chaotic the fate is, after the fall of a dynasty and the birth of a new dynasty, the fate will return to normal.

Three years passed, Emperor Ming was in his seventh year. Chu Yuntian endured hardships and behaved submissively in the court, always putting the emperor first. As a grand master, he knelt down to serve him, and finally made the young emperor let down his guard.

same year.

In the neighboring country on the border, famine broke out in the barbarians, a cold disaster struck, and there was no food harvest. All the tribes of the brave barbarians went south to plunder Daxuan.

After seven years of peace, the Daxuan Dynasty finally faced its first turmoil.

Emperor Ming ordered to meet the enemy barbarians.

After seven years of cultivation, the benefits of breaking the monopoly of cultivation methods emerged.

There are many practitioners in the Daxuan Army, among whom civilians are eager to join the army, eager to make achievements, and countless of them have been awarded titles.

the following year.

The eighth year of Emperor Ming.

After the destruction of the Daman Kingdom, the territory of the Daxuan Dynasty increased by one third. All the Daman men were killed, and all the women in the country entered the Daxuan Dynasty.

"This……"

Prime Minister's Mansion.

Holding the battle report in his hand, Chu Yuntian was stunned.

He never expected it.

In just ten years, the strength of the entire Daxuan Dynasty has been guaranteed to such a level. Logically speaking, it shouldn't exist.

"During the reign of Emperor Qiu Ming, when the Great Barbarians attacked, the Great Xuan Dynasty could only cede territory in exchange for peace. Why was it that during the reign of Emperor Ming, the Great Barbarians were destroyed in just one year?"

"This world has gone crazy!"

"Are the policies left by Qiu Ming really so powerful? They actually allow those civilians to burst out with such a strong underlying power."

Chu Yuntian’s plan failed.

According to his original plan, Daman and Daxuan would fight each other, and finally the Daxuan imperial power would be exterminated and a new dynasty would be born.

among them.

Luo Qingshan, the martial saint of the world, exhausted all his strength in a series of battles. He died at the end of his life.

At last.

Unable to adapt to farming, the barbarians, who mainly lived by hunting and pastoralism, retreated back to the grasslands.

result……

"It happened!"

“It’s getting worse!”

"Not only was Luo Qingshan not destroyed, but Daman was destroyed instead. The fate is becoming more and more confusing..."

Chu Yuntian’s face turned pale.

at this time.

There were also court officials looking for him. Apparently, there was another victory report. However, he was in no mood to listen to it now...

"The Ksitigarbha Demon has grown stronger."

"Ugh."

Chu Yuntian looked worried.

in case.

If the Ksitigarbha demon grows stronger to a certain extent, it will inevitably awaken the second in command.

By the time.

His life would be over.

The third in command, Zihuo Tianjun, is in charge of the three bells and is responsible for cleansing those who defy fate.

The second in command, the great demon Lord Mingjun, is the one who refines and kills the demon Ksitigarbha.

of course.

He also killed some "disobedient" Taoist friends.

……

at the same time.

"puff!"

Imperial City.

In a small fishing village by the river.

By the river, a haggard-looking old man suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood in front of the chessboard at the entrance of the village. His face and appearance became much older and paler.

"This chess uncle was playing chess at the entrance of the village. He was playing so hard that he vomited blood."

"Come on!"

"Stay away from him, he's very fierce."

There were some young children, passing by the village entrance in groups, who made faces and ran away in all directions.

"damn it!"

"Why is this guy so strong?"

"In the competition of Dao Mark foundation, I am not as good as him."

"Is he the Second Realm Heavenly Sovereign, or am I the Second Realm Heavenly Sovereign? This is so abominable!"

Zihuo Tianjun wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, but an incredible fear still emerged in the depths of his eyes.

Imagine.

He is no match for the opponent in a game of chess played from a distance.

Really face it.

That terrifying soul consciousness would definitely be able to kill him instantly.

"No."

"It's time to let the second brother take action."

"If this continues, he should be able to escape from the cage..."

Zihuo Tianjun stood up, collected the chessboard, and prepared to rush to the holy land to seek reinforcements.

but.

At this moment.

His eyes were dull.

It was because, a slender young figure appeared beside him at some point, and was leaning sideways, looking at his chessboard.

This person was none other than the mysterious immortal with great powers whom he regarded as his opponent and had been fighting with, the Su Chen in the imperial city.

"How did you escape?"

Zihuo Tianjun was stunned.

“I can always come out.”

"only."

"It's rare that someone is willing to play chess with me to kill time, so I played with you for a while longer. Now that you don't want to play anymore, I'm leaving."

Su Chen said with a smile.

At this moment, Zihuo Tianjun’s whole body was burning, and an indescribable terrifying aura burst out from his body.

A great war broke out in this small fishing village. (End of this chapter)
