Qin Yi, sensing the chess game unfolding on the horizon, was overjoyed. "Chess fanatic, Uncle-Master!"

The chess fanatic uncle didn't talk much, but he was always very reliable. The Yin Yang Maze and the Discarded Piece he casually gave him seemed to have been planned in advance. Qin Yi always felt that this uncle was the most unfathomable.

Ju Yunxiu also said that since her chess-obsessed senior uncle already knew about the Profound Yin Sect's affairs, then there was no need to concern herself with them...

As expected, the chess fanatic uncle didn't let the matter rest; he actually came to get involved himself. His intervention indeed changed the nature of the whole affair.

Previously, Qin Yi hadn't considered killing Xuan Hao. His deal with Yu Fuzi was actually quite perfunctory, because he had no confidence that Yu Fuzi could successfully take over. The plan was to burn the mountain to lure Xuan Hao into pursuit, then play hide-and-seek to escape. The main purpose was to relieve the siege of Qianshan, so that the Thousand Mountains Alliance would have time to bring back the Rogue Cultivator from outside the mountain.

Then Qin Yi's goal would be achieved.

How do we kill Xuan Hao?

Even if we could fight him to a similar degree, he has a lot of men under him, so we would most likely be the ones who get beaten and have to run away.

Even if we could barely win, they would hide in the sect and rely on the formation. Who could break in?

Killing a Qian Yuan on someone else's turf? I'm just a second-level Huiyang cultivator; why would a normal person even consider such a thing?

If they really wanted to deal with Xuan Hao, Qin Yi planned to wait for Meng Qingying to arrive so they could discuss how to proceed. Meng Qingying and Xuan Hao had a blood feud, and since the Profound Yin Sect had opened its gates, she couldn't possibly stay put. He would let Meng Young Master, and he would simply provide support.

But the situation is completely different now.

It seemed that the chess fanatic uncle had been waiting for this moment. Xuan Hao's physical body rushed back, and just as his soul descended and briefly separated, he was instantly drawn into the chess game that the uncle had set up.

This is no longer attacking someone else's territory, but rather attacking reinforcements.

Encircle and attack reinforcements, turn the tables and take the initiative!

He had foreseen this day long ago.

At this moment, Xuan Hao was all alone, trapped in the void, dealing with a bizarre chess formation he had never seen before. Meanwhile, the Thousand Mountains Alliance's protective formation opened, and several Huiyang cultivators surrounded him. They unleashed their Law Treasure, bombarding Xuan Hao Zhenren to roar repeatedly in anger.

"What's the point of burning the mountain or waging guerrilla warfare!" Qin Yi brandished his Wolf Tooth Club, turned, and instructed Li Qingjun, "Qing Jun, try to hold off the Xuan Yin Sect for a while, but don't force it. Retreat if things turn against you. I'll go and give Xuan Hao a surprise attack first!"

Li Qingjun understood and smiled, "Go ahead, I guarantee none of them will get through."

"Don't force yourself, safety first."

"Um."

These two actually managed to create a sour atmosphere even when surrounded by enemies. Liusu couldn't stand it anymore, so she flew away with her Wolf Tooth Club. Qin Yi, who was holding the club, was pulled away by it and had no choice but to fly away.

Flying thousands of miles away, one could see all sorts of bizarre moves falling towards Xuan Hao Zhenren in the center of the chessboard.

There was an enormous Fire Man; Qin Yi recognized it as the Burning Flame Valley Fire, which Tai Huang Jun had nurtured for a long time—the very place where he had almost perished. This was already the most normal thing...

There were thousands of ethereal clouds, drifting down in pieces, seemingly without a trace, yet weighing more than a thousand pounds. It was clearly a very magical special effect, but the clouds were all shaped like ducks... and they were yellow.

Countless chess pieces flew and exploded wildly, clashing against each other and creating a piercing noise more terrifying than the most terrifying music of the Music Sect. Even Qin Yi, hearing it from afar, felt like he was going mad... Is this the Chess Watching Noise?

There were several other kinds, a jumbled mess, impossible to explain. Qin Yi had no idea what Xuan Hao Zhenren was right in the center, was experiencing.

Judging from the huge phantom chessboard in the air, Xuan Hao Zhenren's experience was probably not what he saw. In his eyes, all the attacks were black and white pieces, like a millstone, grinding and squeezing, slowly wearing down all his strength.

Every conflict seemed to be anticipated, blocking the way; every seemingly viable path turned out to be impassable.

Or perhaps the chess pieces are like the common people, and the willpower is like a furnace, being refined and tempered.

The nineteen lines, like the most profound truths in the world, sever the soul and separate heaven and earth. Inside and outside the game, the perceptions are different.

Among the Zither, Chess, Calligraphy, Painting Sect), chess, calligraphy, and painting, the mysteries of chess remain unseen by Qin Yi to this day.

If it weren't for the constraints of this profound chess game, this group of Huiyang wouldn't have been able to stop Qianyuan.

Qin Yi flew forward, his body growing larger as he approached the destination, soon reaching a height of tens of feet. His iron rod, like a giant pillar, crashed down relentlessly. "Serves you right for trying to kill me back then!"

"Boom!"

The chessboard trembled, and the sun and moon lost their light.

Xuan Hao was shocked. "How could you... already be at Huiyang level!"

Qin Yi, wielding the Demon Slaying Sword in one hand and Wolf Tooth Club in the other, declared, "Even you can reach the Qian Yuan realm, why can't I reach the Hui Yang realm! Take this!"

The Demon Slaying Sword- Wolf Tooth Club's energy erupted like a volcanic eruption, crashing down with a deafening roar.

Xuan Hao's eyes were filled with deep-seated malice and hatred. "Mere Huiyang... Once I get out of here, I will skin you alive, you little thief!"

Qin Yi frowned slightly.

He felt there was something wrong with Xuan Hao.

Firstly, judging from the force of his reaction to the attack, it was somewhat weak, weaker than expected. It was originally expected that he was weaker than Feng Bulie, but now it seems that he is even weaker. It may be that the restrictions of the chess game are too severe, or it may be that there is indeed a problem with his soul, which is why it is so difficult to reconcile with the chess game.

A cultivator at the Qian Yuan Level could never possibly exude the extreme malevolence and hatred that Xuan Hao was currently displaying. This was practically the cultivation method of Ghost Cultivator, not a conventional cultivator. Even Feng Bulie, who had been tormented to the point of near death before finally entering his violent mode, still maintained a certain composure beforehand. After all, a strong person always has a certain demeanor, and even if he harbored hatred, he wouldn't display it so obviously. But Xuan Hao Zhenren showed absolutely none of that.

He seemed to be Ghost Cultivator formed from hatred.

This indicates that his absorption of Qian Yuan was definitely incomplete. He may have only absorbed malevolent energy and negative emotions, lacking completeness. This unconventional attainment of Qian Yuan was merely a forced increase in power.

This slight imperfection means that he is doomed in this game of chess!

Even the Liusu don't need to be shown.

With a flick of his wrist, Qin Yi unleashed a dazzling crimson lotus fire within the chessboard, purifying the heavens and earth.

"Since you're like a ghost, how about I let you taste the essence of this World Cleansing Lotus?"

Soon, Xuan Hao's painful groans and venomous words echoed from within the chessboard, "Qin Yi, you will die a more miserable death than I did!"

"Then I'll wait."

Qin Yi answered casually, already having a clear understanding of the situation. The fact that he called himself Qin Yi, not Qi Wu, meant he had already obtained the memories of Monk Cheng Yuan. His initial wariness had been correct; the person Cheng Yuan resented most wasn't Heavenly Mystery Child, but Qin Yi, who had caused everything.

Qin Yi participated in the siege of Xuan Hao, while Li Qingjun blocked the Profound Yin Sect members. At this moment, the Profound Yin Sect was already in chaos, with all the guards out fighting the enemy. Apart from some low-level disciples, it was deserted.

Outside the main hall, in the shade under the trees, the shadows slowly separated, gradually transforming into slender, graceful figures.

Yu Fuzi arrived breathlessly, bowing obsequiously, "Young Master."

Meng Qingying turned her head to look at the distant battle, her eyes filled with complex emotions, and said in a low voice, "They really have reached the Huiyang stage... It's one thing for Qin Yi to reach the Huiyang stage, but Li Qingjun is also so brave, and I have actually been left behind by them."

Yu Fuzi whispered, "Young Master, won't you see him?"

Meng Qingying pursed her lips and turned her head sharply. "I have no face to see you."

Yu Fuzi dared not speak.

Meng Qingying is currently at the crucial juncture of reaching the peak of the Cloud Ascension Realm and about to break through the Shining Sun Pass. Originally, she had no intention of coming to deal with Xuan Hao Zhenren's affairs at this time. It was only because Yu Fuzi provided an important piece of information that she secretly sneaked in to see if there was an opportunity.

But I never expected to see Qin Yi again.

Despite her delight, she had no intention of meeting him.

Being weaker than him is one thing, but being weaker than Li Qingjun, who was the weakest back then, what kind of nonsense is that...?

Meng Qingying wasn't unaware that Qin Yi and Li Qingjun's sudden and terrifying improvement must be due to some kind of good fortune. She believed that if she went out and relied on Qin Yi would definitely share this good fortune with her.

But she remained silent for a long time and still chose not to meet him.

Don't accept his fate.

She must earn her own destiny and cannot rely on anyone, not even him.

She took a deep breath and said to Yu Fuzi, "Take me to break the formation of this hall. I want to go inside."
