On the first mountain of Book Mountain, clouds and mist surrounded it. A pavilion stood on the cliff of the mountain. From there, one could see the entire mountain. The scenery was beautiful.
At the moment, two old men were playing chess in the pavilion.
They were the College Chief of the College and Mr. Du from the Cottage. Bai Lishu stood at the side and felt strange. Such a scene was very rare. It was the first time he saw his teacher and uncle-master playing chess.
What was going on today? Why did it feel so strange?
"We haven't played chess for many years. Senior, your chess skills are getting better and better. You're not as sharp as you were when you were young. Now, it's natural. Your moves contain the will of a master," Mr. Du said with a smile.
"Your moves are gentle, but you control the whole situation. After so many years, your mental calculation skills have become stronger." The College Chief's long beard fluttered in the wind. He looked sage-like. Although he was very old and seemed to be old, he was still full of energy.
"It's not mental calculation. It's momentum." Mr. Du shook his head.
"You set up the Eastern Barren Territory and wanted to fulfill your wish. How is the momentum now?" The College Chief sneered at him.
"Senior, why do you have to be so resentful?" Mr. Du smiled.
"How many years have we cultivated for? How many more years do I have? Sooner or later, my time will come. I want to leave and find a way to break through to the next level. Is it so difficult to give this position to you? " The College Chief was angry. Glaring at him, he said, "Even if you're not willing, what about your eldest disciple? Why did you let him leave the mountain back then? For your Tao? "
Hearing their conversation, Bai Lishu's heart trembled. It was rumored that Uncle-Master's eldest disciple left the mountain to create a clan instead of staying in the College. The teacher was very unhappy about this and the two of them had a disagreement.
The real reason was that … the teacher wanted to find someone to replace him, but Uncle-Master was not willing. Therefore, the College Chief thought of the Sword Saint.
This was really surprising.
"Senior, why do you think I'm suitable to be the College Chief?" Mr. Du smiled and looked lazy. "Moreover, there are some things that you know."
College Chief Xiao stared at Mr. Du and sighed in his heart.
He naturally understood the reason why his Junior Brother was unwilling to take over this position, but this bastard did not allow the Sword Saint's disciple to take over, which made him very unhappy, very unhappy. He did not have much time left.
Although cultivators had a longer lifespan, they were not immortal. Ye Futian had yet to enter the Sage Plane and still had his own limits. Only by breaking through to the next level could he extend his lifespan. As such, he wanted to leave the Eastern Barren Territory and explore the world in search of opportunities. With his talent, he would not be able to comprehend the Sage Plane's Path and take that last step.
"Senior, I know that you have feelings for me. I have also thought that after everything is done, you can leave without any worries. It's just that …" Mr. Du smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"If you want to put your ideas into practice in the Eastern Barren Territory, you will definitely violate the interests of others. It's not as simple as you think," College Chief Xiao said. He knew what his junior brother wanted to do.
"Yes, it's so difficult to change the Eastern Barren Territory." Mr. Du shook his head. Gazing into the distance, he said, "What's going to come will come."
Hearing his words, College Chief Xiao also raised his head. In the sky, the wind and clouds howled. Suddenly, there was an earth-shattering dragon roar.
On Book Mountain, countless people raised their heads to look at the sky. In the sky, there was a true dragon puffing out clouds and looking down from the clouds.
The body of the golden dragon was huge and incomparably majestic. On the back of the golden dragon stood two figures. The figure standing in front of the demonic dragon wore a crown on his head and a dragon robe on his body, looking incomparably majestic.
It was the most powerful person in the Eastern Barren Territory, the king of Qin.
On both sides of the king of Qin stood two elders. Their auras were unfathomable.
Other than them, many people appeared in the surrounding space. They were the upper-level nobles from the alliance of the four forces. Now, they had arrived on Book Mountain.
In an instant, Book Mountain shook. Many people rose into the sky as if they were facing a great enemy.
Had the Qin Dynasty finally arrived on Book Mountain?
The king of Qin stood on the dragon's back. His gaze pierced through space and landed on the pavilion at the top of Book Mountain. Looking at the two people who were playing chess, he laughed loudly and said, "I am here to visit College Chief Xiao and Mr. Du."
"Scram," College Chief Xiao raised his head and said coldly with a cold expression. He hoped that the king of Qin would scram as far away as possible.
At the moment, he was a bit worried.
"Senior, since the guests are already here, there is no reason to chase them away." Mr. Du smiled nonchalantly. Looking up at the king of Qin in the sky, he said, "Please."
"Alright." King Qin nodded with a smile and walked down from the void. The two elders followed closely behind him, while the demonic dragon hovered in the void.
The mountain elders of Book Mountain, the cultivators of Sword Saint Mountain, and the Moon Clan all rose into the sky. They stared coldly at the figures in the sky, forming a state of confrontation.
Goddess Wangyue came to the pavilion at the top of Book Mountain and watched from afar. She looked at the two elders beside the king of Qin. Their eyes were deep and their auras were hidden, but they gave off an extremely dangerous feeling. Moreover, they looked very old. If they still looked old after cultivating to this level, they must really be monsters who had lived for many years.
The king of Qin landed on the ground and bowed to Mr. Du. "I have heard of your name for a long time, but I never had the chance to meet you. Today, I specially came to disturb you. Please forgive me, Mr. Du."
His words were sincere and not fake. They came from the bottom of his heart.
Everyone in the Eastern Barren Territory respected Mr. Du.
There were eight disciples in the Cottage, and the top three were famous in the Eastern Barren Territory. Any one of them could hold their own and stand at the top of the Eastern Barren Territory. Although the other disciples were still growing, they had already displayed shocking talents. In time, they might not be weaker than the Sword Saint and the other two.
Mr. Du was still a legend to be able to pick out such disciples and train them to such a level, even if he really did not know how to cultivate.
Moreover, the king of Qin naturally did not believe that Mr. Du did not know how to cultivate.
The two people beside the king of Qin also stared at Mr. Du, as if they wanted to feel something from him.
"You're welcome." Mr. Du smiled casually. He naturally noticed that although the king of Qin brought many strong cultivators here today, the Donghua Clan leader and his wife, as well as a few other important figures, were not here.
He smiled faintly. Of course, he knew what had happened.
"College Chief Xiao and Mr. Du are in a good mood. I also know a thing or two about chess. Are you interested in playing a game?" the king of Qin asked Mr. Du.
"Please." Mr. Du extended his hand. College Chief Xiao stared at him, his beard fluttering.
"Senior," Mr. Du shouted at College Chief Xiao.
College Chief Xiao was still staring at him.
"Senior, he is a guest," Mr. Du said again. College Chief Xiao finally stood up unwillingly. Then, he walked to the side and glanced at the king of Qin and the others coldly.
"Thank you, College Chief Xiao." The king of Qin nodded at College Chief Xiao. Then, he sat down opposite Mr. Du and started from the beginning.
In the sky above Book Mountain, the people from both the College and the Qin Dynasty all stared at the pavilion on the first mountain. Their hearts were in turmoil.
One of the most powerful figures in the Eastern Barren Territory and the other was a mysterious and low-key legend of the Cottage. The two of them were actually playing chess on Book Mountain.
They all knew that this game of chess would affect the entire Eastern Barren Territory when a piece landed on the chessboard.
"I heard that you are College Chief Xiao's junior. You are an elder. Please go first," the king of Qin said politely.
Mr. Du nodded lightly and said one word casually. It was simple and casual.
The king of Qin smiled and made his move as well.
It was very quiet on Book Mountain, but there was also a faint sense of oppression. The sound of the chess pieces being placed on the first mountain was very clear.
"Sir, you made your move casually, but unknowingly, you have planned everything. Wonderful, "the king of Qin said with a smile. As soon as he finished speaking, he made his move. College Chief Xiao, who was beside him, saw this and his eyes flashed with sharpness.
His junior had planned everything while the king of Qin was closing in on him step by step. He had surrounded the entire game and was showing off his abilities.
Mr. Du smiled and continued to make his move.
The two of them were facing each other. Gradually, an invisible aura appeared from the king of Qin and enveloped the entire space.
"Sir, you are a legendary figure. Why are you so stubborn?"
The king of Qin made his move. On the chessboard, there seemed to be a dragon roaring angrily, devouring everything.
"I plan before I act." Mr. Du smiled and continued to make his move casually. Immediately, there seemed to be a way out of the encirclement. Once it was out of the encirclement, it could resonate with the whole situation and form an unstoppable force.
The king of Qin held his chess piece in mid-air. The aura around him seemed to have gathered into the shape of a dragon, as if he was temporarily trapped.
Finally, he made his move and the dragon emerged from the sea. He wanted to kill his opponent at all costs.
"Regardless of the consequences?" Mr. Du shook his head and made his move. He never thought before he made his move. It was as if he knew everything.
However, his chess piece was still on the defensive.
"Sir, you have planned everything. If you succeed, you will be unstoppable. Time waits for no man. If you don't succeed, you will die," the king of Qin said calmly. He looked at the chessboard and felt an invisible pressure. He made his move and rushed into the opponent's formation, trying to break the balance.
"You don't leave a way out. If you lose, you will have no way out. Why do you have to do this?" Mr. Du said and continued to make his move.
On Book Mountain, the surrounding people listened to the conversation between the two. They did not really understand the hidden meaning behind their words.
Their chess pieces were on the chessboard, and this chessboard was the entire Eastern Barren Territory.
The king of Qin's eyes froze as he stared at the chessboard. When Mr. Du placed his piece, the situation suddenly changed. The side that had been on the defensive all this while actually seemed to be able to shake the world with one sword after this piece was placed. All the chess pieces that he had surrounded were in danger at this moment as if they were about to be wiped out.
"Do you still want to persist?" Mr. Du asked.
The king of Qin was shocked and his fingers trembled slightly. He stared at the chessboard and then made his move. It was as if there were two dragons. If either side won, they would be able to surround the king of Qin. "I have made my move. There is no way out. Qin Yu and the rest have gone to Sky Mountain. After the battle there, they will come here."
"You are so stubborn. Why bother?"
Mr. Du shook his head. With a chess piece in his hand, he made another move. Immediately, the situation in one of the encirclement changed as well. The connection between the two dragons was severed. It was as if this move could decide the world.
"It will be difficult to retreat unscathed from the battle on Sky Mountain," Mr. Du said lazily.
