“Where is that person? Forget it, bring me there…”
The devilish woman grabbed Li Xuanmen’s collar and with a swoosh, the two of them disappeared from the spot.
“Communication amulet? I knew it…”
Yu Hongye understood everything after seeing Li Xuanmen take out his communication amulet.
She took out her own communication amulet and ordered, “Go and find out where Li Xuanmen bought his communication amulet… and where the other half is.”
Although this behavior might have a negative impact on the business of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets, it was nothing compared to an expert who could crack the Heavenly Dao chess game.
Every time the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets sold an item, it would leave a mark on it. This kind of inquiry was very simple for them.
When w.a.n.g Yuyan saw that Li Xuanmen had been taken away, she did not say anything. Instead, she thought to herself.
‘How did Li Xuanmen meet such an expert?’
Not only did everyone present want to know the ident.i.ty of such a mysterious expert, but unfortunately, the chessboard moved too quickly.
Seeing that the matter was over, w.a.n.g Yuyan wanted to leave immediately. She turned around and was about to bid farewell to everyone.
However, she saw Daoist Master Zhu Zhao mumbling to himself.
“Daoist Master Zhu Zhao…”
w.a.n.g Yuyan called out softly, and Zhu Zhao finally came to his senses. However, the first sentence Zhu Zhao said shocked w.a.n.g Yuyan.
“Fairy w.a.n.g, don’t you want to know who the Master behind this is?”
w.a.n.g Yuyan was stunned, and her heart skipped a beat. “Could it be that Daoist Master Zhu Zhao knows the ident.i.ty of this expert?”
Zhu Zhao nodded. “If I’m not wrong, it should be that person…”
…
Li Xuanmen felt his eyes blur, and he appeared at the entrance of Immortal’s Destiny small shop.
The door of the shop opened slightly.
“It’s… It’s here,” Li Xuanmen pointed at the signboard at the door and said with trepidation.
The artifact spirit remained silent and silently sized up the small shop in front of her.
Li Xuanmen had no choice but to bite the bullet and knock on the door. “Senior, are you at home?”
No one responded after a few consecutive knocks. Li Xuanmen felt that he had reached his limit. His legs and stomach were trembling. He couldn’t even stand properly and said, “Senior… lives here. I… I swear.”
At the same time, he frantically found an excuse for himself. “Senior Liu, your realm is high. You should be able to handle it.”
He should be able to!
The artifact spirit ignored Li Xuanmen and slowly floated into the store.
She pushed open the door and saw a path leading to the backyard.
There were paintings, clay figures, tables, chairs, and a chessboard.
Under the chessboard was a glowing jade talisman.
When the artifact spirit saw the chessboard, her expression changed.
“It’s really here…”
Two rays of light descended from the sky.
w.a.n.g Yuyan and Zhu Zhao saw Li Xuanmen sitting at the door with a glance. Their eyes lit up with excitement.
“It’s really here!”
Zhu Zhao sighed, “I’m afraid it’s this senior.”
w.a.n.g Yuyan and Zhu Zhao walked straight in without even looking at Li Xuanmen, whose face was covered in mud.
“It seems that Senior isn’t here. The artifact spirit has already entered…”
When they entered the living room, they happened to see the artifact spirit floating into the inner hall, so w.a.n.g Yuyan said worriedly, “The artifact spirit doesn’t know the difference between good and evil. If it goes in and wreaks havoc, I’m afraid that Senior will be very angry when he finds out…”
Zhu Zhao, however, was full of confidence. “I once saw a few Golden Core realm demons being suppressed by Senior Liu’s painting after they entered. Even Dharma Idols don’t have the slightest power to resist…”
At this time, the artifact spirit had already completely entered the inner hall. w.a.n.g Yuyan also followed her in, her entire body emitting a terrifying aura.
Under the influence of this aura, many of the calligraphy and paintings in the inner hall, as well as the clay figurines, all trembled slightly.
When the artifact spirit arrived in the middle of the inner hall…
Waves rose!
All the calligraphy and paintings, as well as the clay figurines, seemed to have been provoked. It was as if an invader had arrived in their own domain, and their dignity had been violated.
In the s.p.a.ce of a breath, countless strange phenomena gushed out.
Some were the endless, endless galaxy that had never changed since ancient times. Some were the towering and peerless peaks in the world. There was also an endless amount of Sword Qi that revealed its sharpness…
The small inner hall seemed to have become vast and boundless in an instant, including mountains and rivers.
“Ah!”
w.a.n.g Yuyan and the others who were snooping outside were already amazed, and their eyes were filled with shock.
When she heard Zhu Zhao’s words before, she was only skeptical. Without experience, it was always better to see it with her own eyes. She really did not expect…
The process of suppression was actually like this.
Those huge and majestic phenomena, the Dao rhythm that poured out, the power… It was likely that even Dharma Idols would be suppressed.
What kind of person was this senior!?
After Zhu Zhao experienced it once, he was filled with emotion.
Under the pressure of these countless phenomena, the artifact spirit stopped.
Her gaze was fixed on the chessboard in front of her.
The chessboard was plain and unremarkable. Only the words ‘sun and moon’ in the middle was somewhat imposing.
The artifact spirit looked at the chessboard in front of her, and a devout expression appeared on her face.
She steeled her gaze and continued walking forward.
“Hum–”
“Master has heard of you before…”
The artifact spirit muttered and took another step forward.
Many anomalies were completely enraged by this ‘arrogant’ intruder. They fiercely increased their strength and continued to suppress her.
Creak–
The divination board behind the woman began to emit a series of ear-piercing sounds. It began to become somewhat overwhelmed.
However, the artifact spirit did not care about it. Its eyes were only focused on the chessboard as it continued to move forward.
“…I’ve been looking for you for ten thousand years…”
Another step.
Pa, pa, pa!
The chess pieces attached to the chessboard began to explode one by one.
“…They even refined us to calculate the Heavenly Secrets to find traces of you…”
She took another step forward.
“In order to find you, master comprehended the Heavenly Secrets. He even almost merged with the Heavenly Dao and transformed into the Dao…”
One step–
“His lifespan was approaching, and he hadn’t received any news about you, so he could only fly away…”
“…He only left behind this ‘Exquisite Chess Game’ that was compatible with the Heavenly Dao. He thought that no one could crack it and wanted to find news about you…”
“I thought that you had already disappeared, but I was still fortunate enough to see you here…”
Crack, crack…
More and more cracks began to appear on the divination chessboard’s body like a spider web. The body of the divination’s artifact spirit was also covered with cracks like broken porcelain.
However, it was as if she could not detect it.
Finally, she approached the chessboard and reached out to grab it.
The silent chessboard moved slightly. It was as if a sleeping dragon had finally woken up and was emitting an extremely powerful aura…
In an instant, the light shone brightly and floated in the air.
