Chapter 6612 Are all living beings merely pawns?

"We can be considered to be from the same school; his grandmaster and my grandmaster were fellow disciples."

Linghu Xi noticed Xiao Chen's expression and explained.

"I'm not very familiar with him... I'm obsessed with formations and basically don't understand human relationships."

"Oh, that's it."

Xiao Chen suddenly realized that, in that case, saying "clean house" would be acceptable.

"This guy is dishonest; he's left a backup plan within this killing formation..."

Linghu Xi continued.

"At the critical moment, he can take full control of the entire formation..."

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen raised an eyebrow, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

That old fellow Xu Pingbo actually had such a plan?

You wouldn't be thinking of sabotaging him at a crucial moment, would you?

If he also dies in the great formation, then this enormous credit will belong to that old guy!

"Damn it, the Holy Heaven Cult is indeed full of bad stuff."

A series of thoughts flashed through Xiao Chen's mind. He cursed and then looked at Linghu Xi.

"Senior Linghu, can you deal with the contingency plan he left behind?"

"Of course, we are from the same school. What he can do, I can do too. What he can't do, I can do... I'm not bragging, but we are not on the same level."

Linghu Xi said without any modesty.

"Next, I will strengthen the entire formation, turning it into a truly unparalleled killing formation, and then change the contingency plans he left behind..."

"Alright, alright, I'll leave everything to Senior Linghu."

Xiao Chen cupped his hands in greeting, eagerly anticipating Xu Pingbo's reaction when he realized he couldn't use his backup plan!

"Okay, you guys stay here and don't let anyone get close."

After Linghu Xi finished speaking, he stepped into the great formation and began to make arrangements.

He kept taking things out of his storage magic treasure, identifying their locations, and then performing various operations.

Xiao Chen and the Azure Emperor had nothing to do, so they sat on a large rock nearby, extending their divine senses to prevent anyone from getting close.

"Perhaps it won't be long before I head to the Mother Realm."

Suddenly, the Azure Emperor spoke.

"Hehe, you're very welcome."

Xiao Chen smiled.

"However, Brother Qingdi, the Heavenly Dao rules of the Mother Realm will probably continue to suppress us for some time to come."

"I know, it doesn't matter."

The Qing Emperor shook his head.

"This kind of suppression is actually a good kind of tempering for us... We use this suppression to temper ourselves, adapt to the Heavenly Dao rules of the Mother Realm, and then with this adaptation process, it will be easier to deal with things later."

"Just like when you go to a high-altitude place, you'll experience altitude sickness. You should take it slow and let your body adapt, right?"

Xiao Chen's smile grew wider.

“Since Brother Qingdi has made up his mind, then I will wait for you in the Mother Realm… With our relationship, once you go there, it will be the same as being in the Outer Heaven.”

"Where is your grandpa?"

The Green Emperor looked at Xiao Chen and asked.

"I haven't seen him yet."

"...from beyond the realm."

Xiao Chen thought about it for a moment and then told the truth.

Deep down, he still held the Green Emperor in high regard and trusted him.

Besides, the Azure Emperor is going to the Mother Realm. Even if he doesn't say it now, he will find out when he gets there.

Rather than doing that, it's better to say it now.

"He went beyond the realm?"

The Azure Emperor looked surprised, clearly taken aback.

When did you go?

"He's been gone for a while, he should be back soon."

Xiao Chen said, half-jokingly.

"Brother Azure Emperor, do you know anything about the outer realms? There's very little information about the outer realms from the Mother Realm..."

"It's very mysterious, as if everything related to the outer realms has disappeared from the world."

The Qing Emperor shook his head.

"Actually, before this, our goal was more focused on the Mother Realm, at least the Mother Realm had the potential for transcendence... As for the Outer Realm, it is only because of the current great calamity and the Holy Heaven Sect's desire to unify the Outer Heavens that we are facing this unknown enemy."

"Ah."

Xiao Chen wasn't too disappointed. If Tianwaitian had any information, the old fortune teller couldn't possibly be unaware of it.

Even the old fortune teller didn't know much about the outer realms, which is why he risked going there.

"I feel like there's an invisible hand controlling all of this..."

Xiao Chen narrowed his eyes, as if talking to himself, or as if speaking to the Azure Emperor.

"If you have one, then cut off that hand."

The Azure Emperor glanced at Xiao Chen and said calmly.

"Hehe, alright, I'll fight alongside Brother Qingdi and sever this hand."

Xiao Chen smiled. This Azure Emperor's personal charm was only slightly inferior to his own!

For the rest of the time, neither of them spoke, each lost in their own thoughts.

Xiao Chen was thinking about the next move against the Holy Heaven Sect, while the Azure Emperor was thinking about the hand that Xiao Chen had mentioned.

Does this hand really exist?

If so, then what kind of existence is this hand?

Heaven and earth are the chessboard, but who are the chess pieces?

Even these top-tier experts can't be players; they can only be pawns?

"If I can't be a player, then I'll enter the game myself and see if I can outmaneuver fate."

A resolute, cold glint flashed deep within the Azure Emperor's eyes.

Time passed second by second, and after an unknown amount of time, Linghu Xi emerged from the formation.

"All right."

As Linghu Xi spoke, he handed the array plate to Xiao Chen.

"The method is the same as before, but the power of this formation has at least doubled... In addition, the backup plan he left behind is useless, and if he uses it, he will suffer a backlash."

"Senior Linghu is awesome!"

Xiao Chen gave a thumbs up.

"Senior Linghu, how about you personally command this unparalleled killing formation?"

"……Can."

Linghu Xi thought about it and agreed.

"Then I'll keep this array plate here to deal with Xu Pingbo and the others. I'll give it to you later."

As Xiao Chen spoke, he put away the array plate.

When do you plan to make your move?

The Azure Emperor asked.

"Let's do it tomorrow. The east wind has already risen; delay will only lead to unforeseen changes."

Xiao Chen's gaze turned cold.

"Tomorrow, I will proceed according to plan. When you appear in Wangjiang City, I will lure you here!"

"can."

The Azure Emperor nodded; they had known Xiao Chen's overall plan for a long time.

“Especially the Great Ferocious Avatar, we need to get it to come here from Wanglong Abyss... The Beast Kings are the bait, I believe it will be interested in the Beast Kings.”

Xiao Chen's trip to Tianjue Abyss to summon the Beast Kings wasn't just about getting them to come out and help; he also intended to use them as bait.

The beast king's blood essence is even more nourishing for the Great Ferocious.

The three chatted and then disappeared into the valley.

Then, Xiao Chen called everyone together for a brief meeting.

Compared to previous meetings, this time the Great Serpent, the Old Tortoise, and Niao Ren, among other beast kings, also participated.

"Everyone, I'm counting on you for this."

Xiao Chen looked at the beast kings and said.

"It's alright. Now that we're out here, we'll do whatever you say."

"It is a large snake," the snake said slowly.

"It doesn't matter if I'm used as bait."

"A clone of a monstrous creature, that's interesting."

A rather human-like smile appeared on Niao Ren's bird-like face, which was somewhat meaningful.
