There was still some time before the three-month deadline. After staying in the giant bone for seven days, he had understood some things, but there was still a mystery in his mind that had yet to be solved.
A few days later, Yuntu brought Qing Yi back to Jiangnan City again. There was no one here for a long time. Looking down from the sky, the entire Jiangnan City within dozens of kilometers was shrouded in black fog. This was a super dangerous place that was as famous as the Black River Valley.
However, for the current Yuntu, no dangerous place could stop him at all.
He directly held Qing Yi's waist and flew to the core of the entire dangerous place, which was the slope where he had buried King Luo Bing as a newbie.
The purple vines below were in full bloom. When Yuntu and Qing Yi slowly descended from the sky, the surrounding magical beasts all retreated, regardless of their level.
"You suspect that King Luo Bing is not dead at all?" Qing Yi asked softly. Yuntu had never explained the misunderstanding back then to her. She knew that today was the day to uncover the mystery.
Yuntu began to dig carefully, layer by layer. At the same time, he told Qing Yi about the misunderstanding between them back then. He even told her about the detail that King Luo Bing had asked him to help her change into the dress he had given her before she died.
By the end of the story, Qing Yi's eyes were already wet. At this time, the tomb had been carefully dug out. The rough coffin made of a huge piece of wood was still there, but it was already rotten beyond recognition. Countless wisteria roots intertwined through the coffin, but King Luo Bing's body was nowhere to be seen. There was only an empty cocoon made of roots. One could vaguely see that there was a hollow human-shaped space inside.
"Can we still find King Luo Bing, and Feng Ling and Xike?" Qing Yi hugged Yuntu's arm tightly. At this time, there was no jealousy in her heart. She only wanted to find her best sisters back then.
"Everything depends on the game of chess in the Divine Temple. Regardless of whether the opponent is a god or a demon, we shouldn't put our fate in the hands of the other party. We must do everything we can to seize the initiative!" Yuntu's expression was firm.
Qing Yi also nodded slightly.
After returning to Yang Cheng, news of Yun Tu and Qing Yi's successful raid of two high-leveled danger zones spread like wildfire. Many of Yang Cheng's large Guilds visited to express their goodwill, but neither Yun Tu nor Qing Yi received them. At the same time, more bad news arrived from the human side. Many secret lands had suddenly lost their luster and disappeared.
Yuntu knew that this was a sign that the power of "God" was rapidly declining. The three-month period was soon up. When the sunken Pantheon Island once again shone brilliantly, the long-lost Pantheon Island finally resurfaced.
Before setting sail, Yuntu gently said to Qing Yi. "I'll leave it here. Wait for my good news!"
"No, I want to go with you!" Qing Yi held his arm with a determined look.
"I am chosen by God. I have no choice but to go. There is no need for you to take the risk!"
"If you lose, will there still be any meaning for me to live?"
Yuntu could not refuse. The boat arrived and the two boarded. At this time, Zi Tong caught up with them again and said with a smile, "Wherever sister goes, I'll go too!"
The people of the Falling Ice Dynasty had all arrived. Under Yuntu's signal, everyone was under control. No one was allowed to leave the harbor. Only Yuntu's group of three set sail on a small boat alone.
The Pantheon Island was the same as before it sunk. All the leaves and plants had withered, and only the Pantheon at the top of the mountain shone brightly.
Holding Zi Tong with his right hand and Qing Yi with his right, Yuntu shouted, "We're here." The door to the Pantheon Island opened, and just like last time, it quickly sucked them in.
Everything was the same as before. All the plants in the courtyard of the Pantheon Island had withered.
"Come in. Come to the backyard, my child!" A voice came from the sky. It was still the voice of the old man from before, but it sounded even older than before. However, when Yuntu came, he seemed to have a trace of unconcealable excitement.
Yuntu calmly led the two of them through the middle of the main hall to the backyard. The chess game was still there, and the old man who did not breathe or have a heartbeat was still there.
"Back from the Black River Valley?"
"Yes!"
"Did you enter the giant bone?"
"Yes!"
"Very good, very good. Come here and help me place another chess piece. Everything is over!"
When he said the last sentence, the old man's body finally moved. He really did breathe, and he had a heartbeat. The excitement in his voice did not need to be expressed with words.
Finally, he no longer needed to talk to the air. Yuntu smiled. His voice was neither fast nor slow, but it was incomparably firm. "I'll help you place another chess piece, but you have to help me find Feng Ling and Xi Ke first!"
"Finish this game first. I will give you an explanation!" The old man opened his eyes, and his expression was slightly displeased.
Yuntu's face was calm. "No, you have to return them to me first. Otherwise, there's nothing to talk about!"
"Ha, ha, you really aren't as obedient as I thought. Do you think that just because you absorbed a little bit of God's energy from the giant bone, you can disobey God's orders? It's simply a joke. Let me tell you, of all the people who entered the shrine in the past, only you are still alive. The others are already dead, and you won't be able to escape death in the end!" The old man's voice was arrogant and filled with anger. In his eyes, humans and gods could not bargain.
As his voice fell, he hooked his finger, and an invisible force pulled Yuntu forward step by step.
Whether he was a god or a devil, how could he not take revenge for killing his wife?
"Watch my saber!" Yuntu squatted down and steadied his horse stance. Then, he gathered all the strength in his body and with a flick of his wrist, a boomerang appeared. In an instant, it shot towards the old man ten meters away.
"What a joke. Use the power I gave you to kill me!" The old man's voice was filled with sarcasm. Then, the boomerang shot by Yuntu disappeared in the air.
Zi Tong, who was next to him, saw that Yuntu had already made his move. At the same time, he also took out his weapon, but the exact same thing happened again. Just as he held the weapon in his hand, it instantly turned into a stream of light and disappeared.
Both of her most beloved people had made their moves. Qing Yi took out her willow staff, wanting to use Rejuvenation on the two beside her. But when she raised her willow staff, she found that the skills of her previous profession had completely disappeared. It was as if she had become an ordinary person again, without a trace of ability.
It was a complete defeat. Ordinary people had no way of fighting against God.
"Come here! All of you, come here and help me make the next move! "The old man shouted.
The huge suction force increased again. Although the three of them desperately resisted, they could not stop their feet from slipping. Soon, Qing Yi, who had the weakest physical strength, slid in front of the stone table. Then, as if possessed, she involuntarily bit her finger and pressed it on the chessboard.
Go to hell!
Having lost all of his profession skills, Zi Tong, who was the closest, suddenly pounced forward. Fangs grew out of his mouth, and the nails on his fingers instantly turned into sickle-like claws.
Although Zi Tong's blood was mostly human, this ability did not come from the Hidden Territory or the Divine Revelation Quest Book. It was an innate ability of his bloodline.
The old man glanced at him, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. He then waved his hand, and an invisible force rolled out like a tornado. Zi Tong was blown aside like a leaf, and crashed heavily into a rockery. The entire rockery collapsed.
Taking advantage of the opportunity when the old man attacked Zi Tong, Yuntu strode forward and gathered all the strength in his body to deliver a punch. The strength he used in this punch was definitely stronger than the strength he had used to destroy the giant bone in Black River Valley. However, when his punch landed on the old man's body, the old man only swayed slightly on the stone bench.
But the old man casually countered with a punch, and Yuntu stumbled back a few steps. There was a sweet taste in his chest, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Probably because he did not want Yuntu to waste his blood, the old man sneered and did not attack him again. Instead, he grabbed Qing Yi's hand and pressed it against the chessboard.
Yuntu had seen the power of the chessboard before. As long as Qing Yi pressed her hand against the chessboard, she would die without a doubt.
At the last moment, Yuntu said, "If we want to win, I'll be enough. Don't make things difficult for a woman!"
"If you knew this would happen, you wouldn't have done this!" The old man waved his hand, and Qing Yi stumbled back more than ten steps. She crashed into Zi Tong, who had just gotten up.
"No! This is a scam! Even if we win this game, we'll still die! " Seeing that Yuntu was really walking towards the chessboard, step by step, Qing Yi finally reacted and shouted anxiously from behind. But when the old man pointed at her with a finger, it seemed to have some kind of magical power, and she could no longer make a sound.
Yuntu heard Qing Yi's shout. He had already seen through this game, but he made up his mind. Using his fingernail, he drew a line on his fingertip, and suddenly reached out to touch the chessboard.
In an instant, his blood, which was full of energy, gushed out like a tidal wave, and the situation on the chessboard changed drastically. When the chessboard was formed, Yuntu had lost half of his blood. He stood up weakly, but there was a trace of an evil smile on his face, "Are you satisfied?"
Sensing that there was something strange in Yuntu's tone, the old man's eyes swept over the chessboard.
The old man's expression suddenly changed. As he wished, Yuntu had placed a piece for him, but this piece did not fall on the position that he wanted Yuntu to move last time. Instead, it fell on an empty spot on the chessboard, and of course, it was a wasted move.
After losing a move, Yuntu made a useless move for him. From now on, he could only be at the mercy of his opponent. Seeing the changes on the board, he knew that there was no way to reverse the situation. A mouthful of blood spurted from his mouth, and the grizzled hair on his head instantly turned white.
"I'll kill you!"
The old man raised his hand again. Behind him, there were layers upon layers of shadows, as if there were thousands of hands pressing down on him like a mountain. Although he had spat out a mouthful of blood, and his strength had declined, as long as he still had a breath left, it would not be difficult for him to kill Yuntu.
Yuntu had lost half of his blood, and was confident that he would not be able to block his opponent's palm, so he quickly retreated.
At that moment, a voice rang out in the sky, "Good lad, well played. I'm very satisfied with this move!" Following this voice, Ana's figure descended from the sky and landed right in front of the old man.
"King Luo Bing, why is it her?" Yuntu and Qing Yi looked at each other in disbelief.
At that moment, she no longer looked like the half-zombie from before, and had completely recovered her appearance from the era of peace. However, even the dress she was wearing was the one that Yuntu had changed for her before she left, so how could it be fake?
King Luo Bing glanced at Yuntu and Qing Yi coldly without any expression, then turned back to the old man opposite him.
"Nuba, you're finally here. Congratulations on finding such a good body again!" The old man's face was ashen.
"After fighting for thousands of years, we've finally come to a perfect end. Yinglong, you can rest in peace!" King Luo Bing, whom the old man had addressed as' Nuba ', extended her right hand and scratched her fingernail. A trace of white blood dripped onto the' Retribution 'position on the chessboard like spring water, and a white chess piece quickly took shape.
In an instant, killing cries seemed to ring out everywhere. A red dragon was minced, and over a dozen chess pieces turned into beams of light that entered 'King Luo Bing's' forehead. The halo on King Luo Bing's body grew brighter, and the old man opposite her, Yinglong, kept vomiting blood.
"Yinglong, you're too smart for your own good. You actually made such a cowardly move. It's no wonder you lost!"
"Nuba, you've won. It's been five thousand years, and the grudge between us has finally come to an end. I do need to rest!" After saying his last sentence, the old man's eyes drooped, and he soon lost his life.
Gods could not die. He was dead, so he was not a god. His name was Yinglong.
Seeing that the old man Yinglong had really died, 'King Luo Bing' lost her bravado from before, and her face was filled with sadness.
"Wang Nuobing!"
"King Luo Bing!"
"King!"
Yuntu, Qing Yi, and Zi Tong all knew that the King Luo Bing in front of them was no longer the King Luo Bing, but they still couldn't help but call him that.
"I'm sorry, King Luo Bing and Wang Nuobing are both dead. Forget her. She has already sacrificed her soul and body to me. My name is Nuba. Yinglong is dead, and there is no need for this shrine to exist anymore! I promised King Luo Bing that if I win this game of chess, I won't let you die, so you can leave! "With a wave of her delicate hand, the surrounding bricks and tiles of the shrine turned into light and instantly collapsed.
When they regained their senses, Yuntu, Qing Yi, and Zi Tong realized that they had already descended from the shrine, and were once again standing at the top of the mountain.
"Where are Feng Ling and Xi Ke?" Seeing that the body of the female King Luo Bing was also dissipating in the sky, Yuntu and Qing Yi once again raised their heads and shouted. At this time, two dark red chess pieces fell from the sky.
Yuntu received it with a sorrowful look on his face.
Knowing that these two chess pieces should be formed from Feng Ling and Xi Ke's blood essence, Qing Yi carefully took them and held them in her palm. She said with sorrow in her heart, "Keep them as a souvenir!"
After saying that, when she opened her palm again, the two chess pieces had disappeared. At this time, she felt two warm currents flowing in her lower abdomen.
… ….
Nuba left, and the haze that had shrouded the earth for eleven years finally dispersed. When the bright red sun shone, the world was filled with jubilation, and all the Black Fog Danger Zones were destroyed.
The shrine had disappeared, but the Shrine Island was still there. Ten months later, the Shrine Island, which was deathly pale, had long been overflowing with spring under Yuntu and Qing Yi's meticulous care. What made Yuntu even more elated was that he had another pair of pink and jade-like twin daughters. One looked extremely like Feng Ling, and the other looked like Ji Xi Ke.
Qing Yi often said that daughters were their fathers' lovers in their previous lives. No matter how much they loved them in the future, she would not be jealous.
When she said this, her face was filled with a happy smile.
