Chapter 1796

The combat prowess Zi Chen displayed was simply too powerful. Since he had declared that he would be the first to kill Zi Chen, it was only natural that someone stronger would appear.

Zhou Ankang, who was from the Empty Realm, was the best candidate.

Due to the rules of the game, the strongest combat prowess of all chess pieces was at Great Perfection. Since Zi Chen was on the chessboard and not a player, his combat prowess was at Great Perfection at most.

Zi Chen took out an imperial weapon, which was extremely coveted, including Zhou Ankang. Regardless of whether it was a Realm Lord or an Empty Realm, they were still within the realm of the Realm, and they all used imperial weapons. As such, every imperial weapon was a precious treasure.

However, when Zhou Ankang appeared, Tang Nuo stood up, which surprised Zhou Ankang.

It was worth noting that the one who did not need to care about the most was not Young Master Tian, who was considered incapable of fighting, but Tang Nuo.

He needed to focus on controlling the seal and preventing the existence underground from appearing. If he dared to make a move, the seal would dissipate on its own without needing anyone else to do anything.

Knowing the situation with the Domain Chief, Zi Chen was also very puzzled. If Tang Nuo were to make a move, what would happen to the seal?

As if guessing Zi Chen's doubts, Young Master Tian turned to look at Zi Chen and said, "Not bad. Your growth has completely exceeded our expectations. The contest between both sides is over. Next up is the final game."

As expected, in the end, because Tang Nuo had stood up, if he were to make a move, the seal would definitely be blasted open.

But if everyone could guess, how could Tang Nuo and Young Master Tian not know? Next up was obviously the time to use their trump cards.

Everyone looked at Tang Nuo, waiting to see what he was going to do or say.

"Not just you, but all three of you." Tang Nuo looked at the other two Empty Realm players.

That was a battle between players, and Tang Nuo was going to take on all three of them.

When the three Empty Realm players heard that, they did not show any expression of being underestimated. Tang Nuo, the Shuntian House Lord, was indeed qualified to take on all three of them. They knew very well that if it had not been for him having to guard the seal, Tang Nuo would have long shaken off his position as the Domain Chief and become the Imperial Sky Domain's Domain Lord.

Zhou Ankang asked in puzzlement, "If you were to make a move, what about the seal?"

"The seal will naturally be guarded by others," Tang Nuo said.

"Who? Him?" Wang Ankang looked at Young Master Tian.

Young Master Tian shook his head and emphasized again, "I'm just not fighting."

"It's me."

The chessboard lit up, and an old man appeared out of thin air.

The old man wore a hemp robe. His face was ruddy and he was full of vitality. His eyes were deep and bright. He stood in the void with a faint smile on his face.

"You still have a chess piece." Zhou Ankang looked surprised.

"The old Manor Lord is not a chess piece. He is the chessboard, the chessboard that oversees the big picture," Young Master Tian said.

"What? He's Shuntian Prefecture's previous Prefecture Lord, Taki Pang."

The three Empty Realms immediately lost their composure.

That old Mansion Master was also a legendary figure. He had been in charge of the Shuntian Prefecture for tens of thousands of years. Back then, he had forcefully blocked the attacks of the two great families' ancestors time and time again. The two great ancestors had no choice but to go into hiding, establish a family, and change their long-term battle strategy.

Forefather Zhou and Forefather Wang had great hatred in their eyes. Forefather Wang said angrily, "You old thing, as expected, you did not die."

Taki Pang smiled faintly. "Both of you are still alive. How can I die first?"

Forefather Wang looked back at Forefather Zhou and said, "I knew that Tang Nuo was unreliable. Look, this old thing is still alive."

Back then, Forefather Zhou had plotted against Taki Pang.

At that time, Young Master Tian was in charge of calculation and deduction. The two great ancestors attacked with all their strength. After Taki Pang was heavily injured, he was stopped by Tang Nuo. Normally, Taki Pang would die and Tang Nuo would become the new Prefecture Lord.

But today, Taki Pang appeared alive.

"My good disciple, this should be your biggest trump card, right?"

The old woman smiled sinisterly. Tang Nuo had targeted them for so many years. Clearly, he had learned everything about the other races and the control of the seal from Taki Pang. It made sense that the latter was still alive.

"But so what? Even if that old thing is still alive, his injuries back then are enough to take away half of his life. His combat ability can barely be considered Empty Realm. You can only fight one against three. Do you want to fight one against five?"

Tang Nuo shook his head and said, "Student naturally cannot beat teacher. Teacher's opponent is someone else."

"Oh, in the entire Shuntian Prefecture, there will be someone else who can be our opponent."

At this time, the void trembled. A picturesque figure appeared and stood silently in the void.

This was a woman in white with a perfect face. She stood in the void and looked at the two great ancestors.

"It's you."

Seeing this woman, the two great ancestors' expressions changed. Their eyes were filled with surprise and wariness.

At the same time, the others looked up. The moment they saw the woman, their minds roared as if they had been attacked by the soul. They immediately fell into a daze.

She was peerless and beautiful. Even though she stood silently, she still had a demeanor that could cause chaos.

She did not need any charm arts. Her every frown and smile was the most terrifying charm arts in the world.

After a short daze, the sector lords reacted. With lingering fear in their eyes, they immediately turned away and did not look at the woman's face.

"Your opponent is me."

The woman in white spoke. Her voice was as ethereal as a fairy.

Zi Chen looked up. After seeing the other party, he was shocked and thought, "Why is she here?"

The woman's name was Zhou Ya. Her current name was unknown. Zi Chen's feelings towards this woman were very complicated. She was of a different race, but she had helped him. This made Zi Chen not know how to face her.

He originally thought that she had disappeared, but Zi Chen did not expect to see her again today. Moreover, she appeared last. Her target was the two old monsters.

There was really no comparison. Zhou Ya was still a mortal and Zi Chen was already a domain realm expert. But now, she could deal with the two old monsters while he was not even a sector lord.

As if sensing Zi Chen's gaze, the woman turned to look at Zi Chen. She seemed to remember the unpleasantness between the two of them. In addition, Zi Chen's slightly changed expression and his clear eyes that were not affected by her appearance made her remember some words Zi Chen had said. Her eyebrows rose slightly.

Zi Chen saw this and quickly smiled, "Zi Chen greets fairy. It has been a long time."

Man Shi and the rest were very surprised. They did not expect Zi Chen to know her. In terms of appearance, among the three women, only Jin Qingcheng could compare. This woman was definitely the most beautiful woman they had ever seen.

"Hmph."

The woman in white snorted and ignored Zi Chen.

"I understand. You are the variable in the past, the one who spoiled my plans time and time again."

Forefather Zhou looked at Zi Chen and suddenly said. His eyes were filled with dense killing intent.

Many years ago, when she competed with the reincarnated Ling Shuang, her chances of winning were over ninety percent. But it was that ten percent variable that caused her efforts to be in vain.

And Zi Chen was that variable.

Seeing that Ling Shuang was familiar with Zi Chen and connecting the dots with Zi Chen's identity as a variable, the old woman understood everything.

"So you have always been a variable."

She shifted her gaze away from Zi Chen and looked at Young Master Tian again, saying, "You are indeed the one who is more proficient in the Art of Divination than the Art of Divination. You have already started this game many years ago."

"He is the variable that turned the situation around. The two of you have karma. You used this karma to summon her."

Heavenly Young Master shook his head and said, "It was not a summon. She came of her own accord. You can say that she came to settle the karma."

Zi Chen clearly understood why he was a variable. Besides his own strength, he could play a greater role, which was to summon this woman whose name he did not know.

"Good, it is indeed a good plan."

The Great Ancestor of the Wang Clan kept nodding and said, "So, it is going to be one against two next?"

The woman in white said, "It may be a little stressful to fight the one below, but it is enough to deal with you two."

Tang Nuo said, "Since everyone is here, let us begin. Leave the three Empty Realms to me."

Heavenly Young Master nodded and said, "Only the Realm Lord and the Domain Realm are left. We can only leave them to them."

Tang Nuo nodded and disappeared in a flash. At the same time, the huge sword beside him disappeared, which was obviously an imperial weapon.

As Tang Nuo disappeared, the other three Empty Realms disappeared as well.

"Don't you die."

Ling Shuang glanced at Zi Chen indifferently and then disappeared. This time, she took the two Great Ancestors with her and disappeared.

The former Chief walked to Tang Nuo's original position and sat down. Waves of energy surged from his body and shrouded the ground. During this time, angry roars could be heard coming from underground.

The former Chief ignored the roars and began to look at the entire chessboard.

At the moment, the white pieces were still very powerful, but the black pieces were not weak either, especially the black piece that belonged to Zi Chen, which had been awakened as a dragon.

He nodded in satisfaction and then looked at Zi Chen and praised, "Young man, you did well."

"Thank you for the compliment."

The former Chief waved his hand and said, "This is not a compliment, but the truth. Neither Young Master Tian nor I can fight from now on, so we can only rely on you."

"Why not?"

The former Chief was controlling the seal, so it was understandable that he could not fight. However, this Young Master Tian was at least an Empty Realm master, and yet he could not fight. Zi Chen looked at him in confusion.

Young Master Tian said, "I just don't fight. I never fight."

"Not even in the face of death."

"Never fight."

"Doesn't that mean that anyone could kill you?"

"In theory, yes."

"You can even tell fate, but you can't."

"I'm not a fortune teller."

Zi Chen was speechless at Young Master Tian's answer.

Fortunately, there were still two people on their side. Although Longfei was only at the Small Consummation level, Zi Chen believed that he would not be weaker than someone at the Great Consummation level.

As such, he cupped his hands and said, "I wonder if the two of you can work together to stop these five at the Great Consummation level."
