"I more or less understand what you're trying to say."
Long Qi, Flowing Light Bing, and the others waited silently for Boundless's next words.
"What do you need me to do?"
"Young Master Boundless, we don't need you to do anything. We just want to know your opinion. Can the Flowing Light Family take revenge? In other words, can we kill Gu Tianlang?"
"Kill King Chixiao?"
Boundless shook his head slightly and laughed. He didn't look at Flowing Light Bing but continued to look at the chessboard. He asked calmly, "Flowing Light Bing, do you think you can kill him?"
"Even if I can't kill him, there's still the entire Flowing Light Family."
Long Qi added, "There's still the Long Family in Yun Shang. With the strength of our two families, I don't believe we can't kill him."
"Since you two families are so confident, why did you come to ask for my opinion?"
Both Flowing Light Ice and Long Qi went silent after hearing Boundless Youth's words.
Although they said they were confident, they didn't have much confidence in their hearts.
This was because none of them knew exactly how strong King Chi Xiao's cultivation was right now.
That wasn't important.
What was important was that they didn't know what kind of existence King Chixiao was.
When they first found out about the Yan Luo incident, the Flowing Light Clan and the Cloud Dragon Clan were both furious. When they were about to go all out and kill their way into the Yan Luo Kingdom to take revenge on the Crimson Firmament King, they discovered that there was no movement from the Immortal Dynasty.
At first, they thought it was Fairy Su Yan who made things difficult. Later, they found out that it was a decree from Yun Duan. Not only did they not allow Sengoku to pursue the matter, but they also forbade Sengoku from having any conflicts with King Chixiao.
After learning about this, the Flowing Light Family and the Long Family were very confused. They didn't know why Yun Duan would give such a decree. Many of the Sengoku elders were confused as well.
Therefore.
The Flowing Light Family and the Long Family came to the Shang Qing Sect immediately. They knew that the Shang Qing Sect had a strong background and was full of hidden talents. Whether it was in Sengoku or Yun Duan, they wanted to come here to find out more information.
The patriarchs of the Liu Guang and Long Family had already gone to look for the elders of the Shang Qing Sect. Although Liu Guang Bing and Long Qi were the leaders of the younger generation of the two families, they were only part of the younger generation. They could not talk to the elders of the Shang Qing Sect who had powerful backgrounds. However, they had their own circle in the inner sect. Wu Ya's connections were often even stronger than the elders of the Shang Qing Sect.
"Since you came to find me today, you must have already asked around in Sengoku."
"Mr. Boundless, I was too reckless just now. I hope you don't take it to heart. I just … I just can't figure it out. Gu Tianlang overthrew Sengoku in ancient times and killed many immortals. If he had died back then, it would have been fine. But he is not dead now. Not only did he not die, he even came back. Yun Duan didn't take this opportunity to kill him. Instead, he … he even gave a decree to forbid Sengoku from having any conflicts with him. Why is that?"
Both Flowing Light Bing and Long Qi wanted to know the answer to this question.
Wang Ba, Xun Yihe, and the others also wanted to know.
"You're not the only ones who want to know the answer to this question. I'm afraid many people want to know the answer, including myself."
Everyone was shocked. Flowing Light Bing asked in astonishment, "Mr. Boundless, could it be that … even you don't know?"
Boundless shook his head, indicating that he didn't know. Then, he said, "I heard that Fairy Su Yan has been busy with this matter a few days ago. She has also been trying to mediate the conflict between King Chixiao and Sengoku."
"Mr. Boundless, do you mean that Yan Fairy has convinced Sengoku and even Yun Duan?" Flowing Light Bing found it hard to believe. He asked, "Does Yan Fairy really have that much influence?"
"Yan Fairy's influence is much, much greater than you think. It's not impossible for her to convince Sengoku and even Yun Duan. It's just that …"
Boundless pinched a white chess piece and placed it on the chessboard. Then, he picked it up again, seemingly hesitant. He continued softly, "Things shouldn't be that simple. There must be many secrets that no one knows about."
Placing another white chess piece down, Boundless asked, "Spectral Elder, what do you think?"
Spectral Elder stroked his beard. He first shook his head, then said in a deep voice, "I can't say for sure either. Let's not talk about whether or not Yan Fairy has something to do with this. Even if it does, it's probably more because of King Chixiao himself."
Flowing Light Bing, Long Qi, and the others didn't quite understand Spectral Elder's words. They asked, "Please enlighten us."
"If Yun Duan's decree really has something to do with Yan Fairy, then it's fine. However, if Yun Duan's decree has nothing to do with Yan Fairy, then there are only two possibilities."
"What are the two possibilities?"
"Either King Chixiao's existence is of great use to Sengoku, Yun Duan, and even the Immortal Dao of the Nine Heavens. You should know that the end of the Antiquity Age and the beginning of the Modern Age. Not only are the Origins of the Heavens and Earth being reconstructed, even the Origins of the Three Thousand Great Paths are being reconstructed. In other words, the structure of the boundless Great Thousand Worlds and the universe is still filled with unknowns."
"Since it's unknowns, then the friends of the Antiquity Age may become the enemies of the Modern Age, and the enemies of the Antiquity Age may become the friends of the Modern Age. The Destined One of the Antiquity Age may also become the Destined One of the Modern Age."
After saying that.
Spectral Elder sighed, "Karma has a cycle. The Three Thousand Great Paths will also change with it."
At this moment, Flowing Light Bing, Long Qi, and the others finally understood. Spectral Elder meant that Yun Duan's decree was probably because the King Chixiao of the Modern Age was of great use to the Immortal Dao. In other words, he was the Destined One. If that was really the case, then for the sake of the Immortal Dao's tribulation, King Chixiao's overthrow of Sengoku back then was really nothing.
At this moment, Xun Yihe, who had been silent all this time, asked, "Spectral Elder, you said there were two possibilities. What's the other possibility?"
"If Yun Duan's decree isn't because the King's existence is the Destined One of the Ancient Age, then it's too terrifying."
Everyone was stunned. When the word 'terrifying' came from the mouth of an unfathomable person like Spectral Elder, even these geniuses and dragons among men felt their hairs stand on end.
"Spectral Elder, please enlighten me. What do you mean by 'terrifying'?"
Spectral Elder held a black piece in his hand and looked at the chessboard. After pondering for a while, he placed a black piece on the board and said, "That is because the existence of King Chixiao made Yun Duan extremely fearful. She was so fearful that she was willing to give up her dignity as an Immortal. She was also fearful that Sengoku would offend King Chixiao and infuriate him, causing Yun Duan to be in trouble."
When the Spectral Elder finished speaking, not only did Bing Guang, Long Qi, and the others reveal shocked expressions, even Wuya, who had always been calm and collected, could not help but frown. He stared at the Spectral Elder with some surprise and doubt.
