On a precipice, a majestic waterfall flew down from the Heavenly Chasm, splashing the jade board. At the far end of the waterfall, the sound of wind and pine trees intertwined with the sound of the water, forming a majestic sound of nature.
On the opposite shore of the lone peak, a hexagonal pavilion was vaguely visible in the mist. A poem was faintly coming from the pavilion.
An old man in brown robes sat facing the wind, brewing wine and drinking tea. He carefully savored the chess game in front of him, constantly revealing a joyful expression as he recited softly, "Idly striking the chess pieces, the lantern flowers fall, the light breeze at the bottom of the fan accompanies the moon. Laughing at the world's flames of war, I boil wine to entertain myself. "
The old man poured himself a cup of wine and drained it. Then, he picked up a black chess piece with two fingers and placed it on the chessboard, producing a clear and melodious sound.
"Drowning my worries with a cup of wine, watching Beautiful Light's Heavenly Moat Edge. Flicking my fingers and howling, singing softly, drifting before the screen to welcome the morning glow. "
As the old man's chess piece landed, a poem responded. The space on the opposite side twisted slightly, and Zhuo Qingfan's figure gradually appeared. He smiled faintly and said, "You actually played Teng Guang's heaven and earth chess game in three different directions. I wonder how he would feel if he learned of this?"
Zhuo Qingfan gently picked up a white chess piece and placed it on the board. The entire chess game changed, and a strange feeling seemed to emanate from the chessboard.
"Eh?"
The old man's eyes lit up, and a bright light flickered in his eyes. He recited softly and said, "A stroke of genius, actually opening a fourth situation. This Heaven and Earth Chess Game is indeed wondrous. Could it be that it wants to integrate all the array formations in the world? It looks like there's going to be some fun. "
Zhuo Qingfan smiled and said, "It's just a child's game to begin with. I'm just passing the time. Why don't I get Teng Guang to come to your Heavenly Moat Edge one day and exchange pointers with you? "
He also picked up the wine flask beside him and drank by himself.
The old man laughed and said, "Haha, are you happy that I made a fool of myself?"
The two of them smiled at each other and started chatting about the chess game, feeling that they had gained a lot.
"Oh, right, have you finished the matter that Gong Yang Zhengqi instructed you to do?"
The old man suddenly asked, "So fast? I thought that the old man must have something important to summon you. "
"Ah?"
Zhuo Qingfan was startled. He put down the empty cup and said, "I forgot, your wine from the Red Stove is really good. I'll come back next time."
A trace of cold sweat appeared on his forehead. He hurriedly stood up and immediately disappeared in front of the old man.
The old man was stunned for a moment, then he smiled lightly and drank the rest of the wine in one gulp. Leaving behind the unpredictable endgame, he turned into a ray of light and disappeared between heaven and earth.
…
Eastern Region, Burial Grounds, inside the demonic clouds.
Xu Yan's words exposed Zhuo Qingfan's identity. Everyone was shocked. Mo Xiaochuan and Young Emperor Hao Lian were also shocked as they looked at Li Yunxiao.
"Zhuo, Zhuo Qingfan …"
Xia Yunan was dumbfounded for a moment, and then said excitedly, "It's … it's the second Emperor Wu!" His voice was so excited that he couldn't control himself. He was actually able to see the legendary Emperor Wu in a life and death situation. His eyes flashed with excitement as he looked at the sky where Zhuo Qingfan disappeared.
After a short moment of shock, the rest of the martial artists also smiled. Being able to see the elegant demeanor of the first generation Emperor Wu was certainly delightful, but they were even happier that they could live. No matter where that demon came from or what tricks he had, he was definitely not Zhuo Qingfan's opponent.
Xu Yan looked at Li Yunxiao meaningfully and said, "Little friend also knows Zhuo Qingfan?"
Li Yunxiao smiled indifferently and said, "Who doesn't know the Void Emperor Wu? It's just that he doesn't know me."
His answer made Xu Yan very dissatisfied. It was obviously an excuse. He said, "What about Ji Shengfeng? This name has been silent for many years. Even I just remembered it, but little friend actually knows it. Isn't it too abnormal! "
Yi Chengying's body trembled slightly, and a worried look appeared on his face. It seemed that the exposure of this name had triggered some kind of worry in him.
Li Yunxiao smiled and said, "He said that name himself. I was just casually replying, so I can't say that I know him. Moreover, even if I really know him, it only means that I'm knowledgeable and have extraordinary experiences. "
Xu Yan was speechless and snorted softly. He was becoming more and more curious about Li Yunxiao's identity. He secretly thought that the first thing he would do after returning to the Sanctuary was to thoroughly investigate this person's identity and find out what secrets he was hiding.
Xia Yunan gulped and didn't dare to make a sound. He knew that Li Yunxiao had a full set of Level Nine Profound Weapons, and that the Demon Origin Fruit was also taken by him.
The atmosphere in the camp became relaxed because of Zhuo Qingfan's appearance. It was as if they had forgotten about the danger in front of them. It was only when they felt a mountain-like pressure and saw Di Ye's fist descending that their expressions changed drastically and they hurriedly dodged in all directions.
"Boom!"
A deep pit was blasted into the ground. Although most of them managed to dodge it, there were a few who reacted too slowly and were completely annihilated.
It was obvious that Di Ye hadn't used his full strength in this punch. He looked coldly at the crowd and snorted. "Who was that person just now? Why was he able to come and go as he pleased in my Demon Cloud?"
Everyone's expressions changed abruptly. It was only then that they realized that they hadn't escaped from danger. This wasn't the time to relax. Zhuo Qingfan seemed to have gone to play chess. Why hadn't he returned yet? It couldn't be that he had to finish the game, right? Everything would be over if that happened.
A sense of helplessness welled up in everyone's hearts. At this critical moment of life and death, he actually still had the mood to play chess. He didn't care about their lives at all!
However, what else could they do apart from grumbling in their hearts? Even if they had the courage to scold someone, they couldn't find anyone to scold. All of them felt extremely bitter in their hearts.
"Looks like I'll have to ask them one by one."
Di Ye seemed to be very fearful of Zhuo Qingfan's appearance. His eyes narrowed and a strange power spread out. Immediately, a cultivator was sucked into the air. He was so frightened that his face turned pale and he cried out repeatedly.
"Be good, don't be afraid. Tell me, what's the matter with that person just now? "
Di Ye squinted his eyes and smiled. He looked very amiable.
However, in the eyes of that cultivator, he was no different from a demon. He said fearfully, "I'll talk, I'll talk. Please don't kill me, Your Majesty. I still have an 80-year-old mother at home, 80 wives, and an eight-year-old son. Eight …"
Bang!
That cultivator's body exploded into a cloud of blood mist in the air, and he completely vanished.
Di Ye opened his squinted eyes and said coldly, "So long-winded. Did I allow you to say all this?" He swept his gaze downwards and grabbed another person from the air. He smiled amiably and said, "You won't be so long-winded, will you?"
That person's forehead was covered in cold sweat. He covered his mouth and shook his head desperately. His eyes were filled with terror.
Bang!
That cultivator's body exploded as well. Not even his flesh was left.
"Ah!"
The people below all retreated in horror. This demon killed without batting an eye. He killed whether he was long-winded or not.
Di Ye seemed very unhappy. He said coldly, "I asked you to speak, but you actually covered your mouth. Do you think I'm easy to bully?"
He looked downwards again. A few cultivators couldn't stand this strange and terrifying atmosphere. They were so scared that their legs turned to jelly, and they were on the verge of tears.
"Boohoo, I'm not playing anymore!"
A cultivator finally had a mental breakdown. He wailed as he raised his sword and charged forward. He cried and cursed, "You can't play like this. I'll fight it out with you, demon!"
"All of you are unreliable. Why is it so difficult to ask a question? Had the relationship between people reached such a degree of indifference? I'm very tired. "
Di Ye grabbed lightly and caught that cultivator. He shook his head helplessly and sighed. "Looks like I have to search for him myself."
A wave of demonic Qi surged into that cultivator's head. In the blink of an eye, that head exploded like a smashed watermelon. A headless corpse fell from the sky.
Di Ye's expression became somewhat serious as he muttered to himself, "So it's Void Emperor Wu, Zhuo Qingfan, the second most powerful existence of this era?" His eyes glowed, as if a boundless desire to do battle had been ignited in them.
"Aiya, thank goodness everyone is here and there are no casualties. Otherwise, I really would have been very sorry."
Zhuo Qingfan's figure gradually appeared in the sky, and he seemed to sigh in relief.
When everyone saw him appear, they were so aggrieved that they almost began to cry.
Xu Yan finally couldn't help but curse. "Zhuo Qingfan, can you be a little more reliable?! Three people have already died in the time it took you to make a single move. How can you be at ease!? "
"Ahem, ahem!"
Zhuo Qingfan coughed twice and said seriously, "As the saying goes, life and death are decreed by fate, while riches and honor are determined by the heavens. How can I force it? Even if I have the ability to transcend the heavens, I can't change the fate of humans. Sir Xu Yan, as the leader of the Origin Division, how can you not see through this simple logic? "
Xu Yan was speechless.
"Haha, well said. Fate has its own rules. Today, you've come to throw your life away. This is also your fate. Void Martial Emperor, Zhuo Qingfan! "
Di Ye's eyes flashed with a cold light as he spat out each word. A majestic aura emanated from his body, causing the demonic clouds to roil and gather at an even faster rate.
Even though the immortal Demon Lord had yet to recover his full strength, he could already overturn rivers and seas with a wave of his hand and rend the earth.
The other was the synonym of the current generation's Emperor Wu — — Titled Emperor Wu. He was ranked second among the ten Immortal Legends, and he was a peerless individual who shone like a star in the sky.
The two of them gazed at each other from above. The invisible spiritual pressure radiating from them was like the might of the heavens. Everyone held their breaths, unblinking as they waited for this earth-shattering battle to unfold.
Li Yunxiao's expression was also grave. Even he was a little nervous about this battle. The powerful pressure seeped into his body, igniting a boundless fighting intent. His eyes even began to take on the shape of bloody moons.
This kind of battlefield, where he could look down on the entire world, should have belonged to him!
Li Yunxiao relaxed his fists as he sensed the ripples of energy. He sighed inwardly and said, "This is my battlefield. I will return very soon!"
Zhuo Qingfan glanced at Di Ye and said, "I have a suggestion. Are you willing?"
Di Ye replied indifferently, "Speak your mind!"
"Mhm!"
Zhuo Qingfan said. "Why don't we find a place to drink some tea and eat a few buns together? We can bury the hatchet and become friends. What do you think?"
