"Murong Yan?"
When Jiang Lianshan saw the lady, he immediately quietened down. He stared at her but couldn't see any fluctuations in his expression. However, Gu Hai could see some clues from afar. Jiang Lianshan had hidden his hands in his sleeves.
"This Murong Yan is so charming!" Gu Hai's eyes flashed with a look of surprise.
In the distance, Murong Yan was indeed very beautiful. Every frown and smile of hers made one's heart ache for her. However, she was still very beautiful! It wasn't that there wasn't anyone in the world who couldn't compare to her. At least, the women that Gu Hai knew weren't inferior to her.
However, such a lady still made many people worry about her after she married Old Man Guanqi.
Xiyu The Great, Long Zhanguo, Fire Emperor, and Jiang Lianshan?
Murong Yan looked around in a daze. Then, she lowered her head and looked at the coffin below her.
The lid of the coffin under the chessboard suddenly slid open slowly, revealing the interior of the coffin.
"It's indeed not Old Man Guanqi's corpse!" Shangguan Hen frowned and said.
He saw a lady's corpse lying in the coffin. She was wearing a long robe made of clouds. Her corpse looked exactly like Murong Yan's Heavenly Soul.
"Weng!"
Murong Yan's Heavenly Soul slowly entered the corpse. Once it entered the corpse, it slowly fused with it.
After a while, Murong Yan's corpse slowly opened its eyes.
"Whew!"
Murong Yan exhaled deeply as if she was sighing faintly. Then, she slowly sat up in the coffin. She slowly stepped out.
"Greetings, Mistress!" The disciples of the Sky Chess Pavilion said excitedly.
In the outside world, the powerful cultivators were also extremely excited.
Murong Yan has been revived? Didn't that mean that the people he cared about could also be revived?
Murong Yan stood on the high platform and looked around. When she saw Jiang Lianshan's flying boat, she frowned.
"Murong Yan greets Dayan and His Holiness!" The woman suddenly bowed respectfully to Jiang Lianshan.
The woman's voice was extremely pleasant to the ears, as clear and melodious as a lark.
After bowing slightly, the Fire Emperor was extremely excited, "It's really her! She's alive! She's really alive!"
The Fire Emperor trembled with excitement.
Jiang Lianshan stared at Murong Yan without saying a word, as if he was worried that he would reveal his emotions. He merely nodded, but his eyes never left Murong Yan.
Murong Yan stretched out her hand.
"Hu!"
The chessboard immediately fell in front of Murong Yan.
It looked like an ordinary chessboard, but it wasn't ordinary at all. Murong Yan's Heavenly Soul came out of the chessboard, along with countless other Heavenly Souls.
"Where are my nine sons?" Murong Yan suddenly asked.
"Wu Yazi greets Mistress!"
"Guqin, Long Sanqian, Qing Emperor, Yan Qingshan, Han Shan and Guan Jiu greet Mistress!"
"Tang Tian and Huang Kun greet Mistress!"
Guanqi's nine sons all bowed respectfully to Murong Yan.
Murong Yan nodded. She looked at the nine people in front of her and said, "Earlier, my husband sent me a message. The nine of you will each choose a piece on this chessboard!"
The nine of them were slightly startled, but they nodded.
Each of them reached out and took a white piece from the chessboard.
The moment each of them took out a white piece, a vortex suddenly appeared where they took it out. Vaguely, one could see countless Heavenly Souls struggling in the vortex.
"My husband said that when all of you put the white pieces back in their original positions, it will be the time when all of you enter the chessboard with your wills. There are boundless Heaven Souls in the chessboard. All nine of you will enter the chessboard with your wills and fight for Heaven Souls, storing them in the pieces in your hands. We will decide the winner based on numbers!" Murong Yan explained.
"The nine of us will snatch Heavenly Souls? Quantity will decide the winner? But how will the result be decided? "Guan Jiu asked with a solemn expression.
"My husband will find the one who snatches the least Heavenly Souls and has the least need to exist!" Murong Yan said Solemnly.
Guanqi's nine sons' expressions changed when they heard Murong Yan's words.
He would seize the body of the loser?
That's right. Old Man Guanqi didn't care how strong you were. It was the same whether he returned or seized the body. Even if he gave up on the weakest, there were still eight powerful disciples.
"Yes!" The nine of them immediately answered.
"Of course, those with weak wills can ask for help. My husband doesn't care about the process, only the result!" Murong Yan said in a deep voice.
"Yes!" The nine of them said with a hint of nervousness.
Ask for help? If they lost, they would be seized. Naturally, they had to give it their all.
"Each of you can ask for help. After the time it takes to burn an incense stick, we will place our pieces and seize the Heavenly Souls to determine the winner!" Murong Yan said Solemnly.
"Okay!" The nine of them immediately responded with solemn expressions.
Guanqi's nine sons turned their heads and looked at the experts around them. It was time to fulfill the promise they made to the experts around them. They quickly bowed to their allies.
Wu Yazi bowed to Matriarch Ji.
Qing Emperor bowed to Jiang Lianshan.
Han Shan bowed to the Present Buddha.
Long Sanqian bowed to Takeshi Ryūshin.
Yan Qingshan bowed to the Tongtian Sect Master of the Wanshou Taoism.
Guan Jiu bowed to Gu Hai.
Of course, after everyone bowed, they bowed to the others as well.
Gu Hai nodded to Guan Jiu, then looked at Guqin in the distance.
Guqin also bowed to the three sect masters. However, it seemed that their foundation was too shallow and they didn't manage to invite too many allies. Gu Hai frowned slightly.
Time passed in the blink of an eye.
"Alright, it's about time. Put the pieces in your hands back to their original positions, close your eyes, and use your wills to seize the Heavenly Soul!" Murong Yan said.
"Yes!"
The nine of them each held a white piece and slowly placed it in their original positions.
Smack!
The moment they placed their pieces, the nine of them suddenly closed their eyes.
The moment they closed their eyes, it was as if millions of shouts came from the chessboard.
"Ah, don't grab me, don't grab me!"
"Save me, save me, ah!"
Millions of Heavenly Souls cried out.
The nine of them tried their best to absorb the Heavenly Souls. However, they saw that the white chess piece that they were holding was like the mouth of a vortex. Heavenly Souls rushed in one after another. As the Heavenly Souls surged in, the white chess pieces gradually changed color. They slowly dimmed and turned gray.
The nine of them fought for a while, and the Present Buddha in the distance was the first to make a move.
Boom!
He struck at Hanshan Bodhisattva with his palm. Hanshan Bodhisattva did not struggle and allowed the palm to suddenly stick to his back. A powerful will immediately surged into Hanshan Bodhisattva's body.
Hum!
Hanshan Bodhisattva pointed at the chess pieces, and in an instant, the speed of the Heavenly Soul increased exponentially. The color of the chess pieces under his fingers quickly darkened and turned black.
"Oh no!" The expressions of the powerhouses around sank.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
One by one, the powerhouses quickly slapped their palms on the backs of the nine Guanqi sons. Their wills were connected, helping them to quickly seize the Heavenly Soul.
The Ninth Young Master already had eight palms on his back, but it was clearly not enough.
Gu Hai glanced at the Ninth Young Master, then at Guqin, who only had three palms, and frowned slightly.
Boom!
He struck out with his left palm, and it suddenly appeared on the back of the Ninth Young Master.
Hum!
There was no need for Gu Hai to do anything. Gu Hai felt as if his will was connected to the Ninth Young Master, like a thin line connecting him and the Ninth Young Master.
With this connection, Gu Hai instantly felt the world of the chessboard.
Gu Hai saw a pitch-black world. In this pitch-black world, there was a super complex chess array shining brightly. Countless Heavenly Demons passed through this chess array, automatically dispelling the Demonic Qi on their bodies and turning into Heavenly Souls that danced within.
However, there seemed to be a gap in this Go ritual array at the Nine-Five position, the spot where Gu Hai burst. Some of the heavenly demons managed to slip through the net. However, the Go ritual array continued to shift, and the ritual array quickly purified those heavenly demons that slipped through the net.
"So this white chessboard is used to purify Heavenly Demons!" Gu Hai frowned slightly.
The Ninth Young Master pressed down on the chess piece, but it was like a huge container. As his will moved, countless Heavenly Demons were driven into the container.
In this chess world, the stronger the will, the larger the tentacles, and the more Heavenly Souls it could capture.
The will resided between the eyebrows, the seventh of the three spiritual souls and seven physical souls. Ordinary people had not cultivated much of it, but Gu Hai's Chess Soul was already extremely resilient.
Although Gu Hai was only a middle sky palace, the power of his will was not weaker than any upper sky palace. The moment he touched Guan Jiu, his will tentacles expanded more than a hundred times.
"Wow, Ancient Emperor, you're still the best. Hahahaha!" The Ninth Young Master was excited as he collected countless Heavenly Souls.
Of Guanqi's nine sons, the weakest was now Guqin. After all, only three were helping him.
Gu Hai saw that Guqin was the last to fall. He sighed softly and reached out with his right hand.
"Boom!"
With a palm, Gu Hai pressed his right hand on Guqin's back. Instantly, another will connection was formed.
Gu Hai's will surged into Guqin's body.
"Boom!"
The number of Heavenly Souls that Guqin was fighting for also increased dramatically.
Guqin was slightly taken aback and knew what was going on. Although he no longer had any emotions, for some reason, when Gu Hai's palm landed on his back, he felt a sudden warmth in his heart. Memories of his childhood flooded in.
"Fa-father!" Guqin frowned slightly.
In the distance, Gu Hai smiled faintly. No matter what happened in the future, at least Guqin called Gu Hai 'father' now. This made Gu Hai feel gratified.
"Snatching Heavenly Souls with one's will? This Old Man Guanqi is deliberately mystifying things! "Tongtian, who was beside Gu Hai, frowned.
"Sect Leader, Kong Xuan, Shangguan Hen, you guys don't have to make a move for now!" Gu Hai said solemnly.
Everyone nodded.
Guqin's and Guan Jiu's chess pieces were quickly turning black. They were not the last to fall.
It was enough as long as it was not the last.
Guanqi's chess pieces kept turning black. Gradually, they were completely black. There were billions of Heavenly Souls in these nine chess pieces.
"Crack!"
The moment all the Heavenly Souls were divided up, the chessboard suddenly cracked open with a crisp sound.
"Hmm?" Guanqi's and his sons' expressions changed. They reached out and grabbed the black chess pieces that were filled with Heavenly Souls.
"Crack, crack, crack, crack, crack!"
The chessboard cracked rapidly. In just a short while, it turned into powder and disappeared.
Nine black chess pieces fell into the hands of Guanqi's nine sons. All the experts in the surroundings also withdrew their hands and their wills.
"Who has more and who has less?" Immediately, everyone stared at Guanqi's nine sons.
Of course, Gu Hai and some other experts narrowed their eyes.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong?" Kong Xuan was puzzled.
"I don't know. I have a mental connection with Guqin and Guan Jiu. That mental connection did not break! "Gu Hai said with a frown.
Not only Gu Hai, but the experts in the surroundings also gradually realized that something was wrong. Why couldn't they break the mental connection with Guanqi's nine sons?
"No, the Thousand Islands Sea Region is sealed by the array!" Tongtian looked up at the sky and said in a low voice.
