Remould the Glory of Sword Art-Chapter 1259 - 170: The Chess Player as a Piece on the Board
The Second Master is one who has seen through the Heavenly Secrets.
Regarding the dossier sealed by the Heavenly Phoenix Palace back in the day, he had actually learned the truth through other means.
This Chi Ruo Great Venerable, due to being stabbed by Lian Venerate with a sword in the past...
Thus, he became obsessed with the "Path of Annihilation."
He didn’t hesitate to pay such a price just to have his disciples comprehend the Path of Destruction.
"I understand the Great Venerable’s meaning."
The Second Master gently smiled and said, "However, the Great Venerable should know that my cultivation realm is shallow. If a Great Destiny Carrier truly appears at Li Lan Mountain, it has most likely already drawn the attention of the Da Chu Dynasty... In that case, if a battle starts, I won’t be of much help."
"I am well aware of all this."
Chi Ruo Great Venerable said calmly with his hands behind his back, "There’s no need for you to worry about fighting."
Xuan Jin is his proud disciple.
He’s a peerless prodigy cultivated by the Heavenly Phoenix Palace at great expense as a "Throne of Heaven!"
In the future, Xuan Jin is one who will spar with the Saint Prince!
"The Da Sui Sword Palace is not easy to provoke."
The Second Master smiled and said, "I know Xuan Jin is formidable, but if Da Chu means serious business..."
"After the battle of Lotus Peak, Zhao Chunyang will not leave seclusion again."
Chi Ruo said calmly, "Even if the old man dares to show up, the Great Palace Master will meet him head-on."
"Oh?"
This news somewhat surprised the Second Master.
Chi Ruo is so certain that Zhao Chunyang, the ’Sword Palace Master,’ will not appear?
It seems...
The Heavenly Phoenix Palace has obtained a lot of information from the Holy Empress’s Divine Sea inheritance.
"As long as it’s not Zhao Chunyang, the other Yang Gods can be dealt with."
Chi Ruo Great Venerable paused and said, "Li Lan Mountain is already a point of intersection between two countries. The battle two years ago ended in a stalemate, and if the Da Chu dares to come again... there will be strong figures to teach them a lesson."
"..."
The Second Master’s gaze sharpened.
The Li Lan Mountain territory borders Howling Wind Valley.
But after the battle at Xuanbei Pass, Howling Wind Valley was shattered, almost entirely swallowed by the Erosion Sun Swamp.
So to speak.
The Heavenly Phoenix Palace and Erosion Sun Swamp seem to have made contact?
"Since the Second Master is the ’Chess Player,’ then do what the ’Chess Player’ should do."
Chi Ruo Great Venerable extended his hand, slowly pushing the classified black and white Go stones in front of the Second Master.
He said meaningfully, "In the battle of Li Lan Mountain, under no circumstances should you fail."
...
...
After Chi Ruo Great Venerable left, the Second Master stood alone in the small pavilion.
With his hands behind his back, his thoughts drifted aimlessly.
In the small courtyard.
A gust of wind lifted a flurry of white paper.
Like snow, the paper scraps surged like a tide, wrapping around the figure in black gauze.
The Second Master’s thoughts suddenly returned to reality, and he watched the wave of white paper enveloping the pavilion, speaking in a deep voice, "Jing San."
A chill appeared out of thin air between heaven and earth.
In the white paper wave, a heroic face slowly emerged. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺
It was Venerable Wu Gou, the third-ranked under the Paperman Sect.
Xuanming Mirror.
"Second Sister."
Jing San grinned and said, "These past few days, staying in the Heavenly Phoenix Palace... has been tough for you. Those Great Demons didn’t make things difficult for you, did they?"
The Second Master was silent for a moment.
Made things difficult?
During this time, she seemed to be a noble guest of the Heavenly Phoenix Palace, but she actually had no freedom at all.
Laughably,
the so-called "Chess Player" was, in reality, just another chess piece.
After a myriad of emotions swept through her, she finally shook her head and removed the pure white veil hiding her face, revealing her true face to Jing San.
A face as pure and white as jade appeared.
This was a face that was definitely memorable and pleasing to look at.
Though the Second Master’s features were not stunning, they were very charismatic and quite attractive over time.
Who would have thought,
that the "Chess Player" who orchestrated everything from the Heavenly Phoenix Palace, directing the Demon Country’s forces with a mere finger movement against the Da Chu Dynasty from afar, was in fact a woman?
"Huff..."
As the black gauze fell away,
the Second Master’s voice underwent a slight transformation as well, maintaining its soothing tone but now tinged with a bit of gentleness.
"The people of the Heavenly Phoenix Palace have been treating me well enough."
She exhaled a breath of turbid air and asked, "How is the Daoist Master now?"
"Not too well."
Hearing this, Jing San first showed a happy expression, then sighed with concern, "The Daoist Master has suddenly ’disappeared’ these days. No matter what means are used, we can’t contact him..."
"How could this be?"
The Second Master frowned, "Has the Daoist Master been trapped in the River of Destiny?"
"Probably... so..."
Jing San bit his lip, worry evident, "As fate would have it, the old bald donkey chasing the Daoist Master is also missing."
"The Zen Master is also missing?"
The Second Master’s heart trembled.
The Paperman Sect’s plan seemed flawless...
Every Venerable Wu Gou was akin to a ’Guardian Spirit,’ after all, Treasure Transformation granted exceptionally strong Divine Souls, and each Venerable Wu Gou could independently oversee a Petal World.
Flowers bloom and wither, causality fades.
Lu Yuzhen gained several extra pairs of eyes from nowhere.
He could, without restraint, use the causality of the Petal World to begin simulations in the River of Destiny.
This was a simulation with no cost.
Nalan Xuance’s simulation requires the Iron Curtain, Chen Jingxuan’s simulation requires the Roundness Instrument.
Simulations usually require significant resources.
But Lu Yuzhen was an exception.
His simulations required nothing...
He only needed an Artifact Spirit to oversee the Petal World and use the Paperman Sect’s evil technique to push the Petal World’s development to the "simulation" results he wanted to see.
This was a complete causality evolution.
If the Petal World’s causality shattered, then... just abandon that world.
Until the Zen Master appeared.
The Paperman Sect’s great undertaking was forcibly interrupted and sabotaged!
The Zen Master, with his immense power, single-handedly disrupted the Paperman Sect’s plan to swallow the Petal World!
He even revealed the true form of the Daoist Master with great Divine Power and began the pursuit!
Lu Yuzhen had tried to fight back...
But the difference in strength between them was simply too vast.
Initially, Lu Yuzhen could only flee miserably, wandering through the Petal World, struggling to heal and cultivate by absorbing causality.
The Zen Master, after all, had a damaged body and lacked a Supreme Taoist Treasure like the Great Dao Brush.
Every time he traversed the River of Destiny, a price was paid.
This pursuit slowly tipped the scales...
As the Paperman Sect’s Venerable Wu Gou branched out in the Petal World,
Lu Yuzhen’s realm increased rapidly.
Now, he could barely contend with the Zen Master.
If this situation persists...
The ultimate victor in this cat-and-mouse game...
Will surely be Lu Yuzhen!
"The Daoist Master must be in significant trouble."
Jing San took a deep breath and earnestly said, "I and several other brothers have discussed beforehand, under the current circumstances, the only one who can help the Daoist Master... is the Second Sister..."
"If the Second Sister could use the Destiny Divine Skill to glimpse the Daoist Master’s location, perhaps we could attempt a rescue."
