Inside the Taoist temple, under the ancient pine.

Su Chen's figure fell suddenly, sitting opposite Zixia Daoren, the fragrance of tea was lingering, the breeze was gusting, and there was a mysterious aura lingering on both of them, which was their mana true element spreading, and vaguely, it was already isolating and shrouding this area.

Both of them smiled at each other, as if they had been old friends who hadn't seen each other for many years.

But if someone breaks into this and triggers the qi that restrains each other, they will know how fierce the mana of the two powerhouses collides, and under the golden pill, I am afraid that they will be crushed in an instant.

Neither of them made a direct move, but in this way, they tried the depth and tasted it, which can be regarded as having a general understanding of each other's strength, winning each other's respect, and having the qualifications to really sit down and talk.

"I can't imagine that in this small big departure country, there are still strong people like Taoist friends. Your breath is thick and strong, like a raging fire, but it is not a fire attribute spiritual root, I don't know where to inherit it? ”

Daoist Zixia asked.

Su Chen was not stupid, so he didn't answer, just shook his head and said, "The matter between you and me today will not change because of my origin." If I say that I am some kind of powerful disciple, will the Taoist master retreat and be humble? On the contrary, even if you are a rootless cultivator in the future, now that you are here today, you will not return empty-handed. ”

"Hehe, Daoist friends can see it thoroughly."

Daoist Zixia smiled, although Su Chen did not reveal his origin, he was not a fool, and the confrontation had already made him feel the pure yang of the other party's mana.

Not any common Five Elements spells.

In this Zhongzhou land, only the Pure Yang Immortal Sect back then could have such a similar exercise effect, so it was natural to regard Su Chen as the inheritor of the Pure Yang Immortal Sect in the past, and he was not treated as an ordinary casual cultivator.

"Daoyou has a top inheritance, and has practiced into a rare Sun Golden Pill in the world, the future can be described as promising, if you go to any sect, you will be treated as a guest, why do you care about this small mortal kingdom?"

"Entrusted by friends, it has nothing to do with interests."

Of course, Su Chen wouldn't say that he had cultivated the Dragon Sutra, so he just said something casually.

Then he shifted the topic to business: "Since the Taoist can calculate that I am coming today, then he should also know why I came." ”

"Poor Dao understands. In fact, for me, this Dali Dynasty is only a mundane country after all, and its role is limited, we don't care who will be the emperor, whether it is the Qiao family in the past or Zhu Hong, who supports it now, it doesn't matter. But there is one thing, Dali must still belong to the rule of my Yunyang Sect. Daoyou can come here, presumably because he has already solved the old monster of Xuanming, which I admire, so for your sake, as long as Qiao Qian is willing to agree to be the emperor and continue to belong to my Yunyang Sect, I can order Zhu Hong to stay still, and even continue to surrender afterwards......"

Zixia Daoist made a condition.

From his point of view, this condition is already considered rich, and if Qiao Qian could get such a condition in the past, it is estimated that he would have agreed to it a long time ago.

But at that time, she was too weak, so weak that Yunyang Sect was not optimistic, so she turned to support Zhu Hong in the north, and now Qiao Qian has relied on her own efforts and Su Chen's help to become the climate, how can she be willing to continue to be a vassal.

At this point, even if Su Chen agreed, Qiao Qian would not agree.

What the Dali Dynasty is seeking this time is true independence, and will no longer be attached to any sect, and Su Chen will also get a complete national fortune for the cultivation of the Dragon Sutra.

"The Dali Dynasty has been plagued by war this time, and the people have long been struggling to make a living, so they don't want to get involved in any sect battles anymore. If the Yunyang Sect could really shelter this country, there would be no today's situation, just blindly asking for it, who would be willing to bow their heads and worship? The people of the Dali Dynasty want a true guardian, not a high-ranking claimant. ”

"Daoyou think you can protect this country?"

"The ups and downs of dynasties have their own laws, and it should be their own people who guard the great departure. This guardian is not me, nor is it the Yunyang Sect. ”

"Hehe, what Daoyou said is right and not right. In the eyes of Poor Dao, this big departure from the country is like a chess piece on this game of chess, we and the Blood Refining Sect are all people who play chess, but now, the old ghost of Xuanming has withdrawn, and you have the qualifications to play chess. It is not easy for you and me to practice, there is no need to fight to the death for these ordinary people, so let's do it, you and I might as well use this chess game as a battle, divide the winners and losers, and also use this to decide the fate of this country. ”

Zixia Daoren said with a smile, seemingly very confident.

Su Chen didn't dare to agree with his view that the world was a pawn, but this was indeed a good solution.

Now, the belonging of the Dali Dynasty must have an ending, although he can use force to try to kill the person in front of him, but in doing so, he will completely have a mortal enmity with Yunyang Sect.

If it is just the independence of the dynasty, the Yunyang Sect may turn a blind eye, after all, it is just a mundane kingdom, for them, it is not a broken muscle, and the war subsides afterwards, a righteous sect cannot directly send people to bombard and suppress it for personal gain, it will be spurned by the entire immortal cultivation world and regarded as a demonic way.

But if the Zixia Dao people died here, the situation would be different.

The Yunyang Sect has enough reasons to thoroughly investigate the death of the sect elder, and even if Qiao Qian wins, he will still have to face the blame of the Yunyang Sect.

Now that they have offended the Blood Refining Sect, if they add a Yunyang Sect, there is only one way to destroy the dynasty, which is obviously not what Su Chen wants.

As for playing chess, Su Chen has been playing this thing for decades.

Chess is a no-brainer.

"Good. Then, according to what the Taoist chief said, you and I will use this chess game as a battle to conclude this matter. ”

"Please."

Daoist Zixia smiled and made a gesture of please, at this time, the game of chess had already reached the middle game, black and white were staggered, the situation was quite equal, and it was very anxious.

Su Chen didn't talk nonsense, twisted up a chess piece and landed on the chessboard.

Suddenly.

He felt a wave of mana fluctuating and oscillating, and as the chess pieces fell, the chessboard in front of him seemed to be infinitely enlarged, turning into an incomparably wide battlefield, and the chess pieces he dropped turned into a white light, falling on the plain, and turning into a white horse cavalry.

The surrounding black frenzy swept in in an instant.

"This chessboard is a magic weapon, which can integrate each other's mana into it and evolve into a confrontation between soldiers, which is an alternative kind of fighting competition, not just a simple game of chess."

Su Chen's heart suddenly dawned.

No wonder that Zixia Daoist is a bamboo in his chest, it turns out that he has such a mysterious method, this chessboard is the magic weapon he refines, and the other party has taken a big advantage in this battle, and this way of fighting, Su Chen is not good at using the power of other magic weapons, and can only rely on his own powerful mana and divine thoughts to fight.

Undoubtedly, it suffered a lot of losses.

"Fellow Daoist, be careful."

Zixia Daoist said, waved his hand and dropped a sunspot, which was suddenly connected with the surrounding black frenzy, forming a torrent, encircling and killing from three directions, in the black waves, countless hideous monsters roared out, turning into tigers, wolves and ghosts, and instantly strangled and devoured the team of cavalry that Su Chen had just fallen.

Pull one to start the whole body.

With the defeat of this group of cavalry, the situation of the entire chessboard also changed, and the surrounding black waves surged at the same time, faintly turning into a giant dragon, covering most of the world.

The unprecedented sense of oppression made Su Chen's white sons constantly retreat, and they were divided and eaten up little by little.

"This person can kill the old monster of Xuanming, it must be amazing, there are countless magic weapons in his body, if it is really a life and death fight, I may not be his opponent. But if I face off on this chessboard battlefield, I will have the advantage, and I can use the power of magic weapons to suppress him, and the chances of victory will undoubtedly increase. ”

Zixia Dao people were proud.

Seeing that the situation in the field was very good, he was not in a hurry to force the siege, but deliberately exposed an opening.

This is the only chance for Bailong to break through, if he breaks through here, Baizi can come back to life and reverse the situation in an instant, this is a great temptation, if you miss this opportunity, Baizi will be trapped in this corner of the place, in a short time, there is almost no way to break through, you can only survive.

And he left a killing move outside, once the other party took the bait, he could surround him on all sides and really slaughter Bai Zi.

"If you play chess normally, the opponent may choose to be safer, but this chess game is related to the final outcome and belonging of the Dali Dynasty, as long as you have the heart of victory or defeat, you will try to give it a go."

Zixia Daoist is the best at calculation and deduction, which makes him more advantageous on the chessboard battlefield, so it is almost certain that Su Chen will definitely enter his trap.

However.

But he didn't know that Su Chen had been going all the way for so many years, and all he wanted to uphold was the idea of being safe.

With his own safety as the first priority, even if there is a great temptation in front of him, he will think it through, but whenever he smells the slightest danger, he will give up, he is the most patient hunter in the world, and this concept is also integrated into his chess.

"In the good situation surrounded on all sides, he can further encircle and suppress it, but he just released an opening. This is indeed an opportunity, rush out, there is at least a fifty percent chance that you can break through, but there is also a fifty percent probability of a direct rout. Greed for merit is never my style. ”

Su Chen shook his head secretly, then waved his hand, and Bai Zi took the initiative to spread and retreat to the rear.

He gave up the opportunity to break through, and instead spread to the inland area, which would make him passive for a certain period of time, but as long as this area was made into a monolith, Kuroko would never be able to eat him in one go.

As long as you survive, you can naturally find a safe opportunity in the process of the opponent's shot, and then slowly fight back.

"Didn't take the bait?"

Zixia Dao was surprised in his heart, he calculated everything, but he didn't expect Su Chen's character to be so stable, nor did he expect his patience to be so good.

The rest of the game was a long and boring cycle.

Su Chen was not in a hurry to break through, under the siege of the black dragon, he was developing step by step, as if he had no quarrel with the world, but the black dragon wanted to break through and destroy his formation several times, but he would be wiped out by the white sword light that was connected together, robbing Zhengzi, and reciprocating the situation, Su Chen was also very patient.

Anyway, for him, as long as he dragged the Zixia Daoist to play chess here, so that he couldn't make a move, he would actually win.

Zixia Daoist gradually felt that something was wrong.

He originally proposed to decide the winner of the chess game, mainly because he was not sure that he could defeat Su Chen in the formal fighting method, so he wanted to use this magic weapon chess game to use his powerful calculation ability to win quickly.

But he didn't expect that Su Chen's chess skills were no worse than him, and he had an excellent mentality, not arrogant or impatient, and not moved by the immediate interests at all.

The chess game continued to stalemate, and even if he could win the chess game, it would be too late to change the situation of the Great Departure Dynasty.

Thinking of this, Zixia Daoist couldn't help but become impatient.

Begin to control the black dragon, attack frantically at all costs, and vow to tear Su Chen's white fortress to smithereens.

However.

Su Chen seemed to have expected such a day, and all the defensive responses that had been done in advance were all in a row, like a reef, even if the storm hit, it was also immovable, but the black flag was in the continuous attack, unable to attack for a long time, and gradually showed fatigue and flaws.

"It's now."

Su Chen keenly seized the opportunity, the chess pieces fell, turned into Dao sword light, and turned defense into offense.

In an instant, all the white chess pieces were under his guidance, turned into fine sword light, bloomed and stabbed out from all directions, and then converged on the chessboard, condensed into a huge pillar of sword qi light, and slashed down, tearing the black frenzy in half, the black dragon screamed, and in the blink of an eye, his head was in a different place.

The demon sword turns into a sword and slashes the dragon.

The Zixia Dao people, who had always had the initiative from beginning to end, were defeated in an instant, and they were completely defeated.

Su Chen was more patient than he imagined, hibernation and accumulation of strength, if he didn't make a move, it would be a killing move, hitting the snake seven inches, killing the enemy!

"This ...... How is this possible? ”

Zixia Daoist sat on the edge of the chessboard, a little stunned.

He really couldn't figure it out, he had always occupied such a big advantage, even if he showed a little flaw because of the strong attack, he would not lose so quickly.

At this time.

Su Chen said with a smile: "Dao Chang's chess skills are exquisite, and he is indeed a good opponent. However, you are too obsessed with the layout and have the desire to win, so you yourself are in the game, and I am on the outside from beginning to end. ”

For him, who has an infinite lifespan, even if he loses today, the big deal is to give up control of the Dali Dynasty, and after a few hundred or thousands of years, he will find an opportunity sooner or later, so he will strive for victory, but he will not do anything for victory, because temporary gains and losses are not worth mentioning in the face of time.

With this detachment, he can see many things thoroughly, including the layout of the game.

As long as you don't enter the game, you can be a bystander, and you will naturally take the lead.

Of course.

These things are not enough to communicate with outsiders, and he didn't explain too much to Zixia Daoists.

Now that the outcome of the chess game has been decided, Zixia Daoist raised his head, sighed, and then looked at Su Chen and said: "Daoist friends have a refined heart, and they already have wisdom beyond the ordinary, but the poor Dao has lost." Don't worry, although Lao Dao is lazy, he is also a man who keeps his promises, and I will not intervene again in today's battle, and I will not interfere in the affairs of the dynasty. But this only represents my personal position, as for how the Yunyang Sect will deal with it in the future, it has nothing to do with the poor road. ”

"Thank you, Chief."

Hearing this, Su Chen nodded.

Being able to get Zixia Dao people not to interfere in this matter is already the best result.

As for what will happen to Yunyang Sect in the future, that's all for later, and we will find a way to deal with it in the future.
