Chapter 1791
On the chessboard, at the moment, the white pieces had the upper hand, and there were only two black pieces left.
Turning the chess pieces into combat power, the Shuntian House only had one Great Completion and one Lesser Completion.
Longfei's appearance made Wang Yuanshan, who was at Great Completion, pale, but this was purely because of the psychological trauma from the Battlefield of Despair, and had nothing to do with fear or combat power.
The difference in both numbers and combat power between the two sides was huge, and they were not on the same level at all.
"Rumor has it that Young Master Tian's chessboard is a treasure, and it can sense all the means of the opponent during the game. Seeing it today, it really lives up to its reputation."
A loud laugh was heard, and an old man appeared directly next to the chessboard.
He stood at the side of the chessboard like a bystander, carefully looking at the game of chess, and was very satisfied.
"Player, Zhou Ankang, Realm of Empty Realm," Tang Nuo glanced at the old man and said faintly.
"That's right. Over the years, we have played many games, and the difference between winning and losing was not big. But in these two hundred years, you have obviously had the upper hand and ruined many of our plans."
Zhou Ankang nodded and said. He was obviously the one who was at a disadvantage, but there was no trace of depression on his face, and instead there was a sense of pride.
"However, you have also expended quite a bit of energy. Looking at the Go game now, it seems that we have been too impatient. Otherwise, in a few more years, you might not even have a single Go piece. However, this is not bad either. You only have two Go pieces. Let's see what you can do."
"Not two, but three," Ye Zichen said.
Another voice was heard in the dark, and then an old woman in a long robe appeared. Her pair of small but sharp eyes stared at the shining black piece in Young Master Tian's hand.
Player, Zhou Chuanling.
The previous head of the Zhou family, an Empty Realm cultivator.
"As everyone knows, Young Master Tian is not only proficient in the way of games, but he is also best at innate calculation. He is known as a senior brother who is admired by fortune-tellers. I think this piece has not been placed yet because he is waiting for a variable."
When Zhou Ankang heard this, his gaze fell back on Young Master Tian. He said, "Oh, so it's a variable chess piece. I thought it was just an ordinary chess piece. But so what? I don't believe that a mere variable chess piece can change the overall situation. It can even make the scattered Shuntian Prefecture instantly come together."
Another voice came from the darkness: [Even if the variable has the ability to do so, if you don't place your piece, you'll miss everything]
It was apparent that a third mighty one from the Empty Realm had appeared.
The opponent was Wang Huangkui, the previous head of the Wang Clan.
As soon as he appeared, he stood beside the chessboard and looked at the chessboard with satisfaction.
This was a middle-aged man who stood with his hands behind his back and a slightly arrogant expression on his face.
The three of them ignored Tang Nuo and looked at Young Master Tian. Zhou Ankang sighed and said, "Whether this piece is placed or not, the outcome is already decided."
Roar!
An enraged roar filled the entire mansion, causing it to tremble. Beneath the chessboard, a violent aura surged out, causing the ground to tremble. It was as if some ferocious creature was about to burst out of the ground.
"Hmph."
Tang Nuo snorted coldly. His heavy voice carried a powerful penetrating force as it went straight to the ground.
The roar stopped in an instant, and the ground stopped trembling. Everything returned to normal.
The old woman, Zhou Chuanling, took a look at Tang Nuo and said indifferently, "You can no longer suppress the seal. In our eyes, you're just a piece of trash. The only thing you can rely on is Young Master Tian, but we all know that he only knows how to calculate and not fight. He's practically a piece of trash. Do you think he can take on three of us at once?"
The middle-aged man stepped forward and said, "Even if you still have a variable chess piece on you, it's too late. The entire mansion has been locked down. Even the Empty Realm will not be able to come in for a while, let alone the Realm Lords. You've lost this game."
Seeing that the situation was indeed so, Tang Nuo looked at Young Master Tian and said, "Brother Tian, we have to admit defeat."
Young Master Tian smiled faintly and said, "You're wrong, Chief. You and I have been playing games for years, waiting for this day. How can we admit defeat so easily?"
As soon as he finished, the black chess piece in his hand suddenly emitted a dazzling light.
"Mm."
Such an unforeseen event caused everyone's expression to change. Their gazes fell on the chess piece. Faintly, they could hear the roar of a dragon coming from the chess piece.
"This is."
Everyone looked at the black chess piece.
A confident smile appeared on Young Master Tian's face as he said, "This is the variable of the past. It has finally been activated again."
The black chess piece in Young Master Tian's hand shone even more brightly.
As soon as he finished speaking, Young Master Tian placed his chess piece.
This black chess piece appeared on the chessboard and once again emitted a dazzling light. At the same time, seven more black chess pieces appeared beside this black chess piece.
At this moment, there were ten black chess pieces on the chessboard.
Seeing this scene, everyone's expression immediately changed. Their gazes were fixed on the variable black chess piece. On the black chess piece, there was a faint shadow of a dragon flashing.
The black chess piece had turned into a dragon.
…
…
Just as the black chess piece in Young Master Tian's hand shone brightly, Zi Chen and the others appeared in a private residence in Shuntian Prefecture.
As soon as they appeared, they looked at the sky above Shuntian Prefecture and felt emotional.
When they left, they were still very weak. When they returned, each of them had the strength to fight against a Realm Lord.
The entire Shuntian Prefecture was still very lively. The sound of hawking continued, and there was no sign of danger at all.
"There's no danger." Man Shi scratched his head and spread out his spiritual sense, but he did not find anything unusual.
When everyone turned around again, there was already an old man in linen clothes standing behind them. He carried a hoe on his back and looked like an old farmer who had just returned from the fields.
"Welcome to my house." The old farmer put down the hoe with a simple and honest smile on his face.
To be able to appear behind everyone without a sound, he was obviously not an ordinary farmer.
Zi Chen went up and bowed. The old farmer did not decline and accepted the bow right away. Then he asked, "What do you want to know?"
Zi Chen said, "The current situation of Shuntian Prefecture."
The old farmer waved his hand and motioned for everyone to return to the house. After everyone sat down, he said, "Everything is normal in Shuntian Prefecture. There is no situation."
Zi Chen asked again, "What about the Prefecture Lord's residence?"
"The Prefecture Lord's residence is sealed by a powerful energy. Those below the Empty Realm cannot enter at all."
The problem was indeed in the Prefecture Lord's residence. Zi Chen believed that all those people had already entered, and the final battle must have been fought there. However, he could not help but gasp when he learned that those below the Empty Realm could not enter.
After pondering for a moment, Zi Chen asked again, "I want to know what is happening in the Prefecture Lord's residence."
"As early as a month ago, Prefecture Lord Tang Nuo dismissed all the experts in the residence. Now in such a large residence, there are no more than five people who belong to Prefecture Lord Tang Nuo."
"Five."
Zi Chen's expression changed when he heard that. He knew that the Wang family had gathered hundreds of people just from the Ninth Tier foreign races.
"That's right, there are no more than five. Just five days ago, a group of people sneaked into Shuntian Prefecture and were then hidden by great powers. These people should be in the Prefecture Lord's residence at this moment."
"How many people are there?"
"If we don't count the hundreds of strange-looking Domain Realm cultivators, there should be nearly 95 Realm Lords. As for whether there are any Empty Realm cultivators, I'm not sure."
Everyone could not help but gasp when they heard that.
Nearly 95 Realm Lords. That was a terrifying combat power.
"This is too unbelievable. So far, I haven't seen a single Realm Lord. How did dozens appear all of a sudden?" Man Shi said with his eyes wide open.
"How can you say you haven't seen them before? Those in the depths of the world were also Realm Lords."
"That's different. I've never seen a Realm Lord of the Zhanwu Continent."
Ignoring the bickering of the two at the moment, Zi Chen pondered for a moment and asked, "Since senior is so well-informed, I think you must have a way to send us into the Prefecture Lord's residence."
"Get ready to go in."
The old farmer said in surprise, "Since you dared to come here, you must have some confidence. But I want to remind you that your opponents are not Domain Realm cultivators, but Realm Lords. Other than Realm Lords, there are also powerful Empty Realm cultivators. At your level, you will only be cannon fodder if you go in."
"If that's the case, senior, you can send us in," Zi Chen said.
The old farmer sighed and said, "You have to think about it carefully. You will die if you go in. If you want to leave now, I can send you out."
Zi Chen shook his head and said, "I've already thought about it."
The old farmer looked at the others. "You guys won't be foolishly going to your deaths, right?"
Man Shi said in a clear voice, "We would rather die in battle than live like cowards."
"Very well, come with me."
The old farmer nodded with a calm expression on his face. There was no admiration or regret. He led everyone to a teleportation array and said, "This is a one-time teleportation array. Once you go in, you will not be able to come back. You only have one chance. Think about it carefully."
"There's no need to think about it. Let's go."
Zi Chen stepped into the teleportation array and activated it. Man Shi and the others followed.
…
…
Everyone was still staring at the eight chess pieces. In the next moment, eight beams of light flew out of them.
Immediately after, eight people suddenly appeared on the scene.
Everyone's eyes almost subconsciously fell on the eight people.
Then, their faces were filled with surprise and shock. At the same time, there was also a strong sense of disbelief.
The three Empty Realm cultivators were all stunned. Even with their composure, they immediately lost their composure after seeing the eight people at this moment.
It was not that the eight people were too strong. On the contrary, even if all eight of them were at the peak of the realm of Sector Lords, they would not be surprised and would not lose their composure like this. That was because Young Master Tian's Path of Divination was very strong, and it was said that it surpassed the Path of Heavenly Divination.
However, the eight people's realms were too low, so low that they could only be used as cannon fodder.
For existences at the realm of Sector Lords, those at the Domain Realm were indeed cannon fodder, and they could only be cannon fodder.
Zhou Ankang turned to look at Young Master Tian. He, who knew the other party's methods of divination, asked in disbelief, "Are you sure that these are the variables you were talking about?"
Young Master Tian nodded and said, "Of course I'm sure. These are the variables I was talking about. There will always be discrepancies in any divination. I didn't expect the hidden dragon to be hibernating."
