Chapter 891: Heartless (1)
The military Palace.
There was less than half a month left before the immortal demon chess game, but the location of the chess game was very far away, and they had to set off in two days at the latest.
Now, the partic.i.p.ants from the military Palace were all required to go to the military Palace for a unified arrangement.
In a hall of the military Palace, more than twenty carefully selected elites were gathered in groups of three to five.
This included sai, tuo, and Lin daoran.
Moreover, the two of them had actually broken through to the major star position.
It seemed that eldest young miss and second young miss didn’t want to see the future of the subordinates that they had nurtured to be ruined, so they had obtained the Luo G.o.d’s Pearl from other channels.
These two people were once the number one experts in their respective regions, sky moon travel. Thus, they would be the main opponents in this immortal demon chess game.
The remaining people were mostly subst.i.tutes.
“Young lady, I, sai hetuo, will remember your great kindness in my heart!” “I’ll definitely do my best in the immortal demon chess game, and I definitely won’t disappoint eldest miss!” Sai hetuo said gratefully.
Lin daoran also cupped his fists to the second lady gratefully, “”I must win a round for second miss!”
Jun ruyin and Jun yaolan smiled and reminded them with concern, “”Just do what you can.”
That was what they said, but for the sake of the two’s future, they specifically asked for the Luo G.o.d’s lost Pearl. From this, one could see how much importance they placed on the immortal demon chess game.
Because not long ago, Jun Qiye, the head of the military Palace, had said that whoever won credit for the immortal demon chess game would be heavily rewarded.
With Jun Qiye’s current age, the so-called reward could very well be the succession of the future Palace master of the military Palace!
How could they not go all out?
The two of them had placed all their bets on sai, tuo, and Lin daoran.
On the other hand, the third young master looked lonely. Although he was surrounded by two or three people, he could not hide the great disappointment in his heart.
“Third brother, with the immortal demon chess game in front of you, how can you sigh in a low voice?” His eldest sister, Jun ruyin, looked over and reprimanded him as her eldest sister.
Jun yaolan’s beautiful eyes glanced over as well. “You’re going to affect the morale, do you understand?”
Jun zhengshuo gritted his teeth.
He understood that his two sisters were using this opportunity to suppress him!
Ever since Xia qingchen had agreed to help him partic.i.p.ate in the immortal demon chess game, his two elder sisters had felt a sense of danger toward him.
The peak of his sense of danger was when Xia qingchen defeated all the geniuses of the same generation at the xuantian forum, becoming the most outstanding.
At that time, he could clearly sense the anxiousness of his two sisters, which was a trace of hostility towards him.
Now, the news that Xia qingchen’s breakthrough wasn’t smooth-sailing spread like wildfire. In the process of transmission, it actually became a ‘failed breakthrough’.
The two sisters heaved a sigh of relief, but they could not help but make things difficult for him.
Facing his sister’s strength, Jun zhengshuo could only give in.”Zhengshuo understands what the two sisters are teaching.”
He straightened his chest and hid the disappointment on his face.
However, no matter how hard he tried to hide it, he could not hide the low spirits in his heart.
Originally, he was only a step away from success. But as Xia qingchen’s breakthrough didn’t go smoothly, everything turned into bubbles.
Has Xia qingchen returned yet? ” Jun ruyin asked expressionlessly.
Ever since he failed to break through, Xia qingchen had left the military camp and hadn’t returned for a long time. This was something many people knew.
The vast majority of people naturally thought that Xia qingchen couldn’t withstand the blow and had temporarily left the camp to relax.
Jun zhengshuo sighed and said, not yet.
Jun ruyin’s face was stiff. third brother, it’s not that I want to criticize you. But why didn’t you listen to our arrangements? why did you cancel Xia qingchen’s subst.i.tute qualifications? ”
Hearing this, Jun zhengshuo was furious. Why should he listen to your arrangements?
He forcefully suppressed his anger. even if Xia qingchen’s breakthrough isn’t smooth, he has already stepped into the major astral plane. He’s even stronger than many of the official partic.i.p.ants of the immortal demon chess game. Why did you cancel his qualifications? ”
Speaking of which, Xia qingchen should be a mutant among the geniuses of this generation.
All the people who partic.i.p.ated in the immortal demon chess game were the first place in their respective regions ‘sky moon travel.
As for the subst.i.tutes, they were either the second or third-ranked tianyue kongxing.
Only Xia qingchen, a nameless person who didn’t even leave a trace on the skymoon astral flight or even the various rankings, was actually able to stand side by side with so many geniuses.
Moreover, his cultivation could be ranked in the top 60.
After all, there were only 50 people who managed to break through to the major astral plane after obtaining the Luo G.o.d’s Pearl.
His eldest sister’s request to disqualify Xia qingchen was truly laughable.
“Third brother, don’t you understand?” Jun yaolan sighed. Xia qingchen is already a joke. His partic.i.p.ation will only bring shame to the military Palace and affect the morale of the partic.i.p.ants.”
Seeing that Jun zhengshuo wasn’t convinced, Jun yaolan pointed at the 20 young talents present. If you don’t believe me, you can ask them. Who else is willing to form a team with Xia qingchen? ”
In the immortal demon chess game, there had to be two people in a team, and they had to fight the enemy together.
All the young talents who were pointed at avoided his gaze.
Xia qingchen was indeed at a rare major star-level, but it was said that he had relied on overdrawing his potential to reach his current level. His true strength was much lower than ordinary major star-level cultivators.
And in the immortal demon chess game, the battle between friend and foe paid particular attention to fairness.
If one’s own team had a major star position, one of the enemy’s team must also have a major star position.
If that was the case, Xia qingchen would definitely become a burden.
Hence, rather than having Xia qingchen, who was a major astral-level cultivator, it was better to find a medium astral-level cultivator of the same level.
Anyone with a little bit of brains would reject Xia qingchen.
“Did you see that? Not a single one!” Jun yaolan had a regretful expression on her face. it’s better to inform Xia qingchen as soon as possible and tell him not to come. It’ll be better if he doesn’t find anyone to form his team after he comes.
Jun zhengshuo clenched his fists, but he felt powerless and depressed.
He wanted to defend Xia qingchen, but the truth was right before his eyes. He had personally witnessed that Xia qingchen’s breakthrough wasn’t smooth. Any kind of defense would be useless.
However, at this moment, a calm voice was heard, “”But I’m already here.”
Outside the main hall, on the flowery path.
Xia qingchen was dressed in white and had a Jade crown on his head. He had a sword case on his back as he walked over.
Her steps were light, and each step was a thousand feet, as if she was a banished immortal who was not stained with the dust of the world.
His unruffled temperament and eyes that were as calm as an Autumn Lake exuded an air of n.o.bility that did not belong to the mortal world.
Jun ruyin and Jun yaolan saw this. Even if they didn’t like Xia qingchen in their hearts, they had to admit that his aura was outstanding and was rarely seen in the same generation.
Jun zhengshuo’s eyes lit up, but quickly dimmed.
The person was still the same person.
However, she was no longer stunning.
However, Jun zhengshuo still treated him with respect and grat.i.tude. He cupped his fists and said, “”Young master Xia.”
Xia qingchen took a step forward, and the falling flowers behind him fluttered in the air, forming a picturesque scene.
“I’m sorry I’m late.” Xia qingchen spoke.
“It’s fine,” Jun zhengshuo felt bitter. Even if they didn’t come, it didn’t matter.
Xia qingchen might not be able to find someone who was willing to form a team, and if no one was willing to form a team, he wouldn’t be able to partic.i.p.ate in the immortal demon chess game.
“Is there anyone who is willing to form a team with young master Xia?” he asked.
No one responded to him, and they all pretended to be busy.
Jun zhengshuo looked at the faces that had the intention to Dodge and felt that Xia qingchen was unworthy of him. He clenched his fists and said, “”Have you all forgotten who gave you the Luo G.o.d’s Pearl?”
How could one be so heartless?
Without Xia qingchen’s generous gift of the eight Luo G.o.d’s pearls, the future of the eight geniuses from the military Palace would have long been destroyed.
How could he talk arrogantly and look forward to the future?
Now, when they were asked to form a team with Xia qingchen alone, no one was actually willing to step out!
