Since the man before them admitted his identity, he would surely return to the sect. Once he returns, they will detain him and dispatch Shen Yuanzai to guard the Li Family. Li Zhongshan is in charge on the Li Family’s side, which is a soft bone; by then, whether Ice Abyss Phoenix or Han Weizi, wouldn’t they all be able to enter the valley?
Too much talk, however, would only alert the snake, revealing the true intention.
Swish!
He Wuya shook his white cloak, feeling tempted by the beautiful woman said to bring great pleasure to men but didn’t glance at her. Instead, he stepped forward with a righteous demeanor, paying respects to the coffin of Li Shanhai, saying sincerely, "Brother Shanhai, we fought side by side in the past, who could have thought you’d leave so early? Rest assured, I will stand with the Li Family, facing the Eternal Night Emperor together..."
While speaking, he sneered inwardly, thinking: ’Old fool, you’re buried deeply, yet these things are nothing more than bridal clothes for me; Li Xuanchan isn’t a wolf.’
Moments later, He Wuya finished mourning and looked at Song Yan, concerned, "Since Elder Li is heavily injured, his realm must have fallen, right? Does he need to rest at home for a few days?"
The crowd froze.
The main act has arrived!
Song Yan said, "My realm has restored, and the old master has taught me the Daoist Game hand by hand. If the Sect Leader isn’t in a hurry to leave, why not have a game?"
He Wuya feigned thinking, then nodded slightly, saying, "Very well. I am in the Late Realm, while Elder Li is in the early stage. This Great Dao Chessboard is perfect for us to spar."
Immediately, he smiled and said, "Let me see if Elder Li has improved."
Song Yan said, "Please."
He stepped out of the memorial hall, quickly followed by two women; Li Zhongshan and Li Jingyun also followed.
Arriving at a green landscape under blue skies and white clouds, he raised a hand to summon an elegant strange stone, which hovered and landed, forming a platform for the game, then sat on one side.
He Wuya sat on the other side.
The two glanced at each other, then simultaneously closed their eyes, visualizing the "Great Dao Chessboard."
In an instant, the surroundings went completely black, and a city appeared.
Song Yan glanced at the city’s name: Five Mountains.
Checking the terrain, there was a mountain city, completely different from the previous Purple Sun City, even the townsfolk’s accent was different.
However, he could still understand it as it was also a form of stellar script.
Except for those born in complete isolation in the wild, almost everyone learns the stellar script.
He Wuya took a look at Song Yan opposite him and smiled faintly in his heart.
The Great Dao Chessboard has numerous rules and secret techniques, unlike real chess.
Real chess emphasizes fairness with players holding the same pieces and following the rules.
But the Great Dao Chessboard varies with the players.
If a higher realm cultivator holds the piece, they can instantly defeat a lower realm player, as they can employ various methods to interfere in the game.
As a sect leader of a significant force in the Cultivation Profound Land, he has deliberately gathered some secret techniques, one of which allows him to concentrate fully, "placing a second piece."
