The old man's eyes suddenly shot out an extremely sharp gaze as he stared at Liu Zong. His eyes then calmed down and he said plainly, "You are Liu Zong, right?"
"That is me." Liu Zong nodded. Behind him, the nine students of the Chess Saint all stared at the old man.
"The ones who broke the Celestial Dragon Chess Game from Chess Saint Villa were you and Ye Futian." The old Village Chief looked at Ye Futian again with an amused expression. What a coincidence.
Ye Futian also looked surprised. The old Village Chief seemed to be a hermit. Even the saints did not know where he came from or what village he was from.
But how did Liu Zong know?
Moreover, the old Village Chief knew Liu Zong and him.
What did this have to do with Chess Saint Villa?
"Yes." Liu Zong still nodded.
"The Chess Saint chose you as his heir, not him." The old Village Chief smiled. "If that is so, if you want to save the Chess Saint, do it yourself. There is nothing I can do."
Liu Zong looked at the old Village Chief, and the surrounding people also looked over. Some did not understand what the conversation between the two was about.
Save the Chess Saint?
Did the Chess Saint not choose Liu Zong as his heir because he was rumored to be dying?
What was going on? The nine students of the Chess Saint were now following Liu Zong. Could there be some secret behind this?
And what kind of place was Tombkeeper Village?
They had never heard of this village before.
"Tombkeeper Village is isolated from the world, and the outside world does not even know of its existence. However, for many years, Tombkeeper Village has always existed outside the forbidden land, the Nether Sword Mound. The Chess Saint went to the forbidden land of the Nether Sword Mound and was trapped within. How could Liu Zong save the Chess Saint? You must be joking," Saint Xihua said to the old Village Chief.
As soon as he said this, the hearts of the surrounding people trembled and they all stared at the old man.
The Nether Sword Mound!
This old man and Yaya came from outside the Nether Sword Mound?
The Nether Sword Mound was known as the number one forbidden place in the Eastern State. Countless swords were hidden there, as well as countless bones. Over the years, countless people had gone to the Nether Sword Mound, and all of them had gone missing or died within.
Gradually, this forbidden area was forgotten. No one dared to go there, and very few people even mentioned it.
There were many rumors about the Nether Sword Mound. Some said that the Nether Sword Mound nurtured a peerless sword that slaughtered all who entered. Others said that a peerless figure cultivated in the Nether Sword Mound and killed people like flies. Others said that a peerless cultivator was buried in the Nether Sword Mound. However, these rumors were only half-true. Only those from the holy lands knew the truth.
Tombkeeper Village was guarding the Nether Sword Mound?
Rumor had it that the Nether Sword Mound was a land of nothingness that was extremely difficult to reach. No one would have thought that the people from Tombkeeper Village outside the forbidden land would come here.
Ye Futian looked surprised as well. He knew about the holy lands of the Nine States, but he had never heard of Tombkeeper Village or Nether Sword Mound.
But if even Saint Xihua was moved, it was obviously not an ordinary place.
The old Village Chief looked at Saint Xihua and said, "That's his own business."
He looked at Yaya and said, "Yaya, let's go."
"Yeah." Yaya nodded and glared at Ye Futian and Yu Sheng.
The old Village Chief also turned to look at Yu Sheng and said, "You were able to defeat Yaya. Very good. Come visit my village when you have time."
The two of them turned into two swords as soon as they finished, cutting through the air and disappearing in an instant.
At the same time, a secret voice transmission reached Ye Futian's ears, causing a strange expression to appear on his face.
Saint Xihua looked at the disappearing swords, and his eyes flashed. He did not expect Tombkeeper Village outside the forbidden land. After all, the village had no sense of existence at all. It seemed that things were not that simple.
The Nine States were about to be stirred up again. Those who left would soon learn of the news.
Of course, he deliberately came out and pointed out the origins of the other party with a hidden agenda.
After all, that was the Nether Sword Mound, where even the Chess Saint was trapped. Xihua Sacred Mountain did not have that many cultivators to die in there, so they naturally needed someone to explore the way.
The movements of the Nether Sword Mound were enough to alarm all the holy lands of the Nine States.
And Liu Zong, who had received the inheritance of the Chess Saint, knew a little more than others, which was the advantage of Xihua Sacred Mountain.
"I will also take my leave," Ye Futian said to Saint Xihua with his hands folded.
Saint Xihua looked at Ye Futian and nodded with a smile. "The Barren State was the most dazzling in this year's Nine State Forum. I look forward to your future. If you want to enter the holy land to cultivate, Xihua Sacred Mountain will always welcome you."
"Thank you, Saint. I will remember it." Ye Futian bowed and then turned to leave with the people of the Barren State.
After Ye Futian left, Liu Zong stared at his disappearing figure and said, "Master, according to some of the news that the Chess Saint sent me, and now that the people of Tombkeeper Village have come out, perhaps they are looking for a successor."
Saint Xihua's eyes flashed. Although the old Village Chief had deliberately avoided it, they had found Ye Futian and Yu Sheng, which was enough to make him think of some things.
Especially in this year's Nine State Forum, Yu Sheng had won first place, and in the battle after the Nine State Forum, Ye Futian had also shown his peerless talent.
Then, Liu Zong's words were enough to infer a lot of information.
"Spread the news," Saint Xihua said indifferently, then turned to leave.
The Nine State Forum had come to an end. After the news spread, Huatian City was shaken. No one had thought that the Barren State, who had not participated in the Nine State Forum for many years, would make a name for itself and shine brightly on the stage of the Nine State Forum.
This was probably what it meant when they said that heroes did not come from.
As for the news about the Nether Sword Mound and Tombkeeper Village, the reaction in Huatian City was not that great. After all, the Nether Sword Mound was a forbidden place, far away from them, and their knowledge was limited.
Just after everyone left Xihua Sacred Mountain, a phoenix carriage descended from the sky above Xihua Sacred Mountain. Dazzling light sprinkled down, heading straight for the center of Xihua Sacred Mountain. The person sitting in the carriage was the Great Zhou Sacred King, who had left and returned.
The Great Zhou Sacred King stepped out of the carriage. Behind him, the cultivators of the Golden Phoenix Army, Zhou Ya, and other children followed.
"Is there something you need from me, Saint?" The Great Zhou Sacred King landed. Saint Xihua, the Rain Saint, Liu Zong, and the others were all there.
"Good news, Sacred King, come and sit," Saint Xihua said with a smile. Saint Xihua said with a smile. He walked to a seat with a chessboard in front of him and made an inviting gesture to the Great Zhou Sacred King.
The Great Zhou Sacred King walked to sit opposite him and looked at the chessboard. He said, "What good news has made you so happy today?"
"The Sword Saint of the Void. I'm sure you know of him, Sacred King?" Saint Xihua put a piece on the chessboard and said with a smile.
"The Number One Sword of the Nine States." The Great Zhou Sacred King responded with a solemn voice. That was a legendary figure. Just knowing some of his deeds was enough to make one's blood boil. Even though he was the Great Zhou Sacred King, he was still full of respect for this ancestor.
"Yes, the legendary figure who was invincible in the Sacred War and killed all saints with one sword. Emperor Xia personally conferred him the title of the Number One Sword of the Nine States. He was once a figure who could stand beside Emperor Xia." Saint Xihua's expression was sharp. That legendary figure of the Nine States should be close to the level of Renhuang.
"According to the ancient records of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Sword Matrix of the Void created by the Sword Saint of the Void is the number one matrix in the Nine States, known to be able to kill Renhuang." The Great Zhou Sacred King looked at the chessboard and put a piece down. He raised his head and his eyes suddenly became extremely sharp. He stared at Saint Xihua and said, "Such a figure, how did he die, and why did he open the Nether Sword Mound and bury his bones in it?"
"At our level, we should know that cultivation is to seize the fate of heaven and earth. Even in the Saint Plane, there are still too many unknowns. Who knows?" Saint Xihua seemed to not want to talk about this issue and responded casually with a smile.
The Great Zhou Sacred King's eyes were extremely sharp. He stared at him and said, "You have not said, what is the good news?"
"The Sacred King should know where the Chess Saint went," Saint Xihua said.
"I know, the Nether Sword Mound." The Great Zhou Sacred King lowered his head and put a piece down. The Chess Saint was obsessed with the way of chess and the matrix of heaven and earth. How could he let go of the number one matrix in the Nine States, the Sword Matrix of the Void?
"The Chess Saint was trapped in the Nether Sword Mound, but he chose a successor in the Chess Saint Villa. You should understand what this means. Now, Liu Zong knows something." Saint Xihua looked at Liu Zong behind him and said, "Now, even the people of Tombkeeper Village have come out of the mountain. Do you still not know what this means?"
"It has been so many years. Could it be that the Nether Sword Mound still has the secret of the Sword Saint of the Void's inheritance? Even if there is, how much is left now?" The Great Zhou Sacred King asked.
"The people of Tombkeeper Village should know best." Saint Xihua said, "I think the old Village Chief seems to have come here to look for the top genius. They have invited the people of the Barren State to Tombkeeper Village as guests."
The Great Zhou Sacred King looked up at Saint Xihua. He did not like the people of the Barren State. Of course, he did not want the people of the Barren State to obtain the inheritance of the number one sword of the Nine States.
"This time, the people of the Nine States should gradually receive the news. The Nether Sword Mound will not be peaceful in the future. In the land of the Nine States, the Barren State is the weakest, followed by Yu State and Ocean State. Although the Eastern State is not the weakest, it is only below average. The Summer State, Qi State, War State, and Cloud State are all stronger than us. Therefore, if the Nether Sword Mound really has the inheritance of the number one sword of the Nine States, I hope that the person who obtains it should be the people of the Eastern State."
The Great Zhou Sacred King looked up at Liu Zong and sneered inwardly. He said, "You have already chosen your candidate."
"Liu Zong is a genius, the most talented person of the younger generation of Xihua Sacred Mountain. He is even more outstanding than the Sacred King imagined." Saint Xihua smiled and said, "Does the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty mind if Liu Zong becomes the Emperor's son-in-law?"
Beside him, Zhou Ziyi suddenly looked up and looked in the direction of Liu Zong. Her heart throbbed!
