Most of those aboard the foremost Green Mountain Sword Boat were disciples of Twofold Forgetting Peak. Sitting cross-legged, they directed their flying swords against the Yunmeng Grand Array. Even at this tense moment, they could not help glancing now and then at the young man at the bow, with his youthful face and very pale eyebrows.
Guo Nanshan and the others naturally recognized Tong Yan. They simply could not understand why he was here. What on earth was going on? Wasn't Tong Yan supposed to be in secluded cultivation on Yunmeng Mountain? No, no-even if he had emerged, why was he aboard a Green Mountain Sword Boat, directing their attack on the Zhongzhou Sect?
This bizarre, absurd scene stemmed from a very long story.
Tong Yan was the finest chess player in the world, and also its finest storyteller. But there was neither time nor need to tell Guo Nanshan and the others any stories now.
In fact, he had told only one story today, to Corpse Dog, the Green Mountain Guardian. That story had been very persuasive, allowing him to leave Green Mountain Hidden Peak and come aboard this Green Mountain Sword Boat. Only after boarding had he learned that his story was much the same as Yuan Qijing's, so he had added another part on the spot.
