Smashing the Board, Protecting the Board

Although Ji Yuan remained seated before the monks' quarters, when the hidden immortal light soared into the sky, he instinctively raised his head and looked in the direction Lian Baiping, Xuanjizi, and the others had gone.

Just as even a Chi Dragon like the Dragon Daughter, whose cultivation ran deep and whose ties to Ji Yuan were far from shallow, found it difficult to wield the Green Vine Sword, not just anyone could use the Immortal Binding Rope—let alone use it well.

Relatively speaking, in terms of cultivation and their connection, the Old Beggar, who had taken part in refining the Immortal Binding Rope, was clearly someone who, with Ji Yuan's permission, could use it and use it well. That was why Ji Yuan had Xuanjizi and Lian Baiping bring the Immortal Binding Rope to the Old Beggar.

As for the rope's purpose, on one hand, it could be considered support for the battle. In the Old Beggar's hands, it might produce a miraculous effect. Compared with the Green Vine Immortal Sword, which required swordsmanship and was difficult for anyone to control, the Immortal Binding Rope had more wondrous uses.

On the other hand, aside from the message he had sent to the Old Beggar, Ji Yuan had left another contingency on the Immortal Binding Rope. If the Old Beggar truly encountered that chess piece, perhaps he might have a chance to bind it directly. At that time, with a True Immortal from the Qianyuan Sect and the Long-Bearded Elder from the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion present, they might be able to borrow others' hands and obtain some information about the Piece Holder.

Of course, as a chess piece, it might not necessarily know that it was a chess piece. But there would be no problem deducing things from certain connections.
