'So this is the real purpose of the box!'
'The expert is indeed an expert. Every step he takes is full of meaning. He has completely paved the way for me. Such means are simply unheard of. Frightening, too frightening!'
'Thanks to my wit, I was able to understand every hint from the expert.'
Lin Mufeng took a deep breath and warned himself in his heart, 'Don't be complacent. I must be more careful in the future and try not to let go of any hint from the expert.'
The other cultivators could not help but widen their eyes. They could not believe what they were seeing.
'This box looks ordinary, but it's actually so powerful?'
If they had not seen how powerful the ice crystal was, they would have thought it was a fake ice crystal.
Lin Mufeng laughed and saluted the crowd, "Hahaha, thank you for letting me win."
Although he was smiling, the spiritual energy in his body had been raised to the peak and was secretly circulating. Old Man Sun also stood beside him and looked at everyone warily.
The atmosphere was a little strange.
Just then, the Qingyang Old Man suddenly said, "I, the Qingyang Old Man, am a man of my words. Since I've already said that it's up to fate, please do me a favor and let this go!"
The Qingyang Old Man had the highest cultivation among the crowd. He was at the phenomenal stage of the Combination Realm. Lin Mufeng was at the early stage of the Combination Realm. Old Man Sun was at the phenomenal stage of the Separation Realm. The three of them formed a united front. Immediately, the others did not dare to act rashly. They could only reluctantly put down their greed.
The Qingyang Old Man smiled at Lin Mufeng and said, "Let's go. I'll send you out."
"Thank you, fellow cultivator," Lin Mufeng replied.
The three of them walked out of the secret realm together and then flew into the distance …
The three of them flew without stopping. After making sure that no one was chasing them, Lin Mufeng stopped and looked at the Qingyang Old Man, "Thank you for your help, fellow cultivator Qingyang. I'll remember it in my heart. Let's part ways here."
He was actually very wary of the Qingyang Old Man. The Qingyang Old Man's actions along the way were not very decent. If it were not for the special situation of the ice crystal, it might have been taken by him.
The Qingyang Old Man smiled indifferently, "Haha, fellow cultivator Lin, I've helped you so much. Don't you think it's too simple to let this go just because I'll remember it?"
Lin Mufeng's face darkened. He could not help but ask, "What do you mean by that?"
Old Man Sun's expression also changed slightly, and the spiritual power in his body began to quietly circulate.
"I was the one who discovered this mystic realm, and I was the one who helped you obtain the Ice Origin Crystal. Do you really think that you can just walk away?" The kindness on Old Man Qingyang's face had disappeared without a trace. He revealed his true colors and sneered, "Hand over the Ice Crystal and I can still let you live!"
"So that's what you're thinking!"
Lin Mufeng said in a low voice, "If I'm not wrong, you've found this secret realm long ago. You just couldn't think of a way to break it, so you had no choice but to attract more people to help you break it. In the end, you reaped the benefits and got the treasures in the secret realm!"
"Hahaha, that's right! But it's too late for you to know that now! "
The Qingyang Old Man's eyes flashed coldly. He pointed forward with both hands. Suddenly, a green light cut through the sky. It was silent but shockingly fast. It formed an extremely sharp aura and stabbed toward Lin Mufeng.
Lin Mufeng was obviously prepared. He opened his palm and a green round shield lay in his palm. The round shield expanded in the wind and blocked the green light.
Looking closely, the green light was a slender dagger. It was like a spiritual snake that spat out cold light.
"Qingyang Old Man, so your previous friendliness was all an act!" Old Man Sun snorted and took out a black dragon-headed cane without hesitation. Black smoke spewed out from the dragon's head and pressed toward the Qingyang Old Man.
The Qingyang Old Man's eyes flashed. His green robe suddenly burst into a brilliant light. Layers of halos were emitted from the green robe like a peacock spreading its tail. It wrapped around the Qingyang Old Man and formed a layer of protection, blocking the black smoke outside.
In an instant, the halos flowed.
At this moment, a figure came from afar. It was Tianyan Daoist.
"Brother Lin, don't panic. I'm here to help you!" He raised his right hand and black and white Qi appeared at his fingertips. They were like white and black chess pieces. They fell toward the Qingyang Old Man.
Lin Mufeng and the other two were stunned. There was clearly no change in their surroundings, but they felt a mysterious feeling in their hearts. It was as if … the area had become a chessboard.
The Qingyang Old Man did not take it to heart at first. However, in the next moment, he felt that his breathing was not smooth. The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi around him began to become chaotic. The difficulty of mobilizing it increased exponentially.
He could not help but groan and take three steps back. His face was full of shock.
"Mobilizing the momentum of Heaven and Earth?!"
Not only the Qingyang Old Man, but Lin Mufeng and Old Man Sun also looked at the Tianyan Daoist in shock.
Being in the chessboard, they also felt it. However, unlike the Qingyang Old Man, they were on the positive side. They seemed to have developed a stronger affinity with the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi and could mobilize it more easily.
This … was the momentum of Heaven and Earth!
In layman's terms, it was luck!
The Way of Chess could really use Heaven and Earth as a chess piece!
Lin Mufeng was shocked to the extreme. This confirmed his conjecture.
The Tianyan Daoist could only have a very subtle effect. However, the expert had probably reached a level where he could shake or even change the momentum of Heaven and Earth.
For hundreds of years, the Tianyan Daoist had almost never made a move. Who would have thought that the Way of Chess could be so heaven-defying!
"Interesting. I didn't expect you to walk a different path from ordinary cultivators!" The Qingyang Old Man narrowed his eyes at the three people in front of him. He was not flustered at all.
He was in the upper tier of the Form Synthesis Stage, which was the highest level among them.
The Qingyang Old Man raised his hand and waved. Five small flags of different colors flew into the air and surrounded the three people. In an instant, an invisible barrier was formed.
He looked at Lin Mufeng leisurely as if victory was in his hands. "I'll give you one last chance. Hand over the Ice Origin Crystal!"
Lin Mufeng looked at the Qingyang Old Man coldly. He suddenly sighed and said, "Qingyang Old Man, don't be stubborn. It's not too late to turn back. The Ice Origin Crystal is not something we can covet!"
The Qingyang Old Man was slightly stunned. "Oh?"
"Do you really think that I can solve the chessboard at the entrance of the arcane realm?"
