The Spirit Transformation elder of Azure Mountain Palace stared expressionlessly at the chessboard before him. After a long silence, he raised his head and softly asked the Buddhist Sect patriarch before him.
"Have you always played chess like this?"
"Mhm."
The Buddhist Sect patriarch seemed rather pleased with himself. Only after gathering all the pieces from the board into the chess pouch did he smile and say, "This Mystic Heaven Continent is this chessboard."
"Since I entered the game with chess pieces in hand, I have never lost."
"Since you're going to make a move, you must go all out and make sure they can never rise again in this lifetime!"
"Wait for my good news."
"Alright!"
The Spirit Transformation elder of Azure Mountain Palace took a deep breath and nodded heavily before rising to take his leave.
Although he did not agree with the Buddhist Sect patriarch's way of playing chess, nor had he ever approved of the Buddhist Sect's values, he could not deny that this old bastard truly had some ability.
Joining hands with the Buddhist Sect patriarch—
They would surely erase Chen Qiu from the Mystic Heaven Continent completely.
If one was going to commit evil, then commit evil. Those Evil Demon sects, for example, slaughtered mortals, but at least they openly declared that they were not good people. Unlike the Buddhist Sect, which used guiding people toward goodness as an excuse to interfere with their minds.
Such methods were even more demonic than those Evil Demon sects.
Meanwhile—
In another province of the Lower Nine Provinces, "Auspicious Province."
Auspicious Province differed from other regions. Although the spiritual energy here was generally less dense than in Central Province, it possessed several blessed lands and heavenly grottos whose spiritual energy was even richer than Central Province's.
