Ye Qianyang was already dead, but the Yi Tian Chess Master continues to this day.

In their game, is Ye Qianyang using death to calculate life, or is the Yi Tian Chess Master using life to calculate death?

Perhaps the answer can only be found at the Xianyang River!

Wang Xiaohuan said, "How about we ignore those two groups of people and just rush ahead to chase them?"

I pondered, "No, we have too little information to work with right now. If we rashly chase after them, we'll only be led by the nose."

"Only by finding the remaining two groups will we have a chance to turn the tables."

"Of course, we might also be held back by these two groups and get caught up in internal strife."

After I finished speaking, I sneered, "Two days to find clues? They underestimate me."

"Let's go!" I parted the weeds on the ground and walked into the first house on the right.

Although the house was surrounded by weeds, the tables and chairs inside were neatly arranged. It looked like a team had indeed rested here last night.

Wang Xiaohuan picked up a teacup from the table. "The water is full. Someone just poured it in, but they didn't have time to drink it before they disappeared."

"All ten people disappeared in this room."

"You guys stay back!" As I spoke, I took out a specially made white candle and lit the wick on the table. When the faint flame sprang up from the candle, several figures appeared in the room.

I walked along the edge of the room. "My master, Ghost Eye Wang, is good at tracking. Wherever someone has been, they will leave traces."

"These figures are where they were before they disappeared yesterday. The personnel configuration is not bad, mutually supporting each other."

I walked to the table where I had placed the white candle. "This is the last place they gathered, which means they disappeared under this table."

Wang Xiaohuan probed under the table with his foot. "Do you mean there's a ghost gate hidden under the table?"

"Whether there is or not, we'll find out by trying!" I took out a talisman and waved it over the white candle. The flame that ignited the talisman immediately shot into the air in the direction of my finger.

At the same time, blood seeped out from the cracks in the tabletop.

Before long, streams of fresh blood flowed down the four corners of the table and onto the ground.

I said in a deep voice, "Huanzi, seal the door with white lanterns to isolate this place from the outside."

"Ye Yang, set up a killing formation. No one is allowed to disturb me when I open the ghost gate."

After Wang Xiaohuan hung the white lanterns in the four corners of the room, Ye Yang's feng shui formation was also activated. At this time, from the outside, the house we were in had been erased from existence.

I also extinguished the spirit talisman in my hand. "Our first fish has arrived."

Wang Xiaohuan, Feng Ruoxing, and Ye Yang all looked at me. "What do you mean?"

I smiled. "Why have we been passive ever since the beginning in the Land of Exile?"

"That's because my starting point was too low."

"I've always regarded this game as a fight between Jianghu sects, and my thinking has been limited to the disputes between sects."

"The reason why Ye Qianyang and the Yi Tian Chess Master have been planning for thousands of years without a clear victor is because their struggle is a battle of gods."

"They are above the art of Taoism, looking at the world, spanning thousands of years, and every contest seems silent, but it is actually earth-shattering."

"I've been wondering why I can't jump out of the Yi Tian Chess Master's circle?"

"It's because I didn't stand at an equal position with him to consider the problem."

Feng Ruoxing said hoarsely, "Now? We... are not... opponents!"

What Feng Ruoxing meant was: Most of the Liangjie Tang's (Two Realms Hall) power is indirect resources, while the Yi Tian Chess Master controls the Jianghu (martial world).

They are not in the same league and cannot compete.

It's like a small shop owner should be thinking about how to purchase and sell goods, not about how to influence international finance or how to set up oil pipelines. Those are problems that giants can consider.

I smiled. "We didn't have this opportunity before, but now we do."

"Someone is delivering the Emperor's luck to our door, why shouldn't I take it? Don't forget, we have Su Su."

I pointed at Feng Ruoxing. "From now on, you will collect the Emperor's luck."

"When the luck of the Nine Sons returns to one, you will immediately dissipate the Emperor's luck. I want to see if the Yi Tian Chess Master can still sit still."

Feng Ruoxing's true nature is not only an Asura, but also the king of Asuras. She can also bear the Emperor's luck.

I turned my head and said, "Now, let's go out and kill the first wave of people."

"I estimate that the Bei Yan siblings should be waiting for us here. Feng Ruoxing, don't move, just stay in the house to receive the luck."

I gave Ye Yang a look, and the latter quietly opened a gap behind the feng shui formation.

A few of us flashed out of the house and sneaked into the Blackwater Fortress in different directions.

Before long, Ye Yang and I silently appeared not far behind the Bei Yan siblings.

Bei Yan Yungui sneered, "Feng shui formation, killing formation? Making it look quite convincing?"

"I really wonder how Li Po became the Hall Master of the Liangjie Tang (Two Realms Hall)? He's so naive that he thinks we'll cooperate with him just because he saved us? Too wishful thinking."

"I really want to see what Li Po's expression will be when he knows that he is the target of our competition!"

Bei Yan Yiyi whispered, "I feel like something is wrong."
