#399 - Chapter 399: The Chess Piece in the Open

The Desolate Forbidden Land.

When Ye Kong and Ye Ling arrived, it was already empty, leaving only two dung balls that hadn't been rolled away.

Ye Kong gazed at Ye Ling, pointing to the two dung balls that hadn't been pushed.

"I really didn't intentionally let Hong Yu and Hong Luo go, I really forgot," Ye Ling said, aggrieved.

She really didn't intentionally let them go.

But now, it seemed impossible to explain.

After all, the Old Dog was sent by her.

"Forget it, let's go."

Ye Kong was too lazy to bother with Ye Ling; whether she intentionally let them go or not was no longer important.

What was important was that Hong Yu and Hong Luo wouldn't dare come anymore.

Ye Ling followed behind Ye Kong, feeling inexplicably sad.

… …

The Yin-Yang Convergence Land.

After Hong Luo and Hong Yu landed, they changed their slovenly image and became refined gentlemen.

"I only have one condition, give me a continent!" the Old Dog said.

"I'll give you Lianyun Continent!" Hong Luo said.

"Let's do Nanyun Continent, Nanyun Continent is yours," Hong Yu said.

According to the division, Lianyun Continent belonged to Hong Yu, and Nanyun Continent belonged to Hong Luo.

"Lianyun Continent is under the protection of Lady Ling, and Nanyun Continent has the Source; you can't fool me," the Old Dog said, looking at the two of them, wary.

"Ling is ruling Lianyun Continent?" Hong Yu looked at the Old Dog.

"That's right, I originally wanted to occupy Lianyun Continent, after all, Yun is easy to bully, but I didn't expect Lady Ling to be there too," the Old Dog explained.

"Ling, she doesn't need to compete for the world at all, why would she take Lianyun Continent?" Hong Yu couldn't understand.

Why did she take Lianyun Continent for no reason?

"Give me the Arctic Continent next to the Myriad Demon Continent, I am a Beast Herder after all," the Old Dog said.

"No, the Arctic Continent is the foundation for us to restrain the Myriad Demon Continent," Hong Yu directly refused.

"When we released you two, we agreed that you would give me whichever continent I wanted," the Old Dog stared at the two of them.

"Don't forget, your cultivation hasn't recovered yet!"

After the Old Dog finished speaking, his hands turned into sharp claws.

"Okay, we'll give you the Arctic Continent!" Hong Luo said.

"The Arctic Continent is mine!" Hong Yu looked at Hong Luo with unkind eyes.

Hong Luo glanced at Hong Yu deeply, without saying a word.

"We will help you control the Arctic Continent, but after we help you control it, we will not be responsible for the remaining matters."

"Okay!" The Old Dog agreed immediately.

"You go first, someone from my Demon Continent will go to the Arctic Continent later to help you stabilize your position."

"Okay." The Old Dog turned and left, heading to the Arctic Continent.

"That's my territory!" Hong Yu said indignantly.

"Haven't you sensed that the Tree King has been born?" Hong Luo looked at Hong Yu.

"He's born, so what?"

Hong Luo looked at Hong Yu as if he were an idiot, and explained, "Back then, Master divided the Immortal Cultivation World, giving the three northern continents to the Azure Emperor. As the Azure Emperor's eldest disciple, do you think he won't subdue his junior brother?"

"Letting the Old Dog go to the Arctic Continent is just to block the Tree King for us."

Hong Yu was silent; he hadn't thought of this.

He was supposed to be the smartest, but now he was being arranged by Hong Luo.

Hong Luo turned and returned to the Demon Continent. As soon as he returned, the ancestors of the major sects went to kneel and worship him.

"You go to the Arctic Continent and help the Old Dog take the Arctic Continent!" Hong Luo ordered as soon as he returned.

"Ancestor, the Arctic Continent was assigned to the Saint Continent."

"Now, it no longer belongs to them."

… …

On逍遥 Peak.

After Ye Kong returned, he continued to fish, ignoring Ye Ling.

"I really didn't do it on purpose," Ye Ling pouted.

"I'll go and catch them back now!"

As Ye Ling spoke, she picked up her sword and was about to catch them, but Ye Kong reached out and stopped her.

"Forget it, the dragon has entered the sea, you'll only get trapped if you go to catch them."

"To me, the two of them are just small fry, and they are just pawns pushed to the forefront," Ye Kong said indifferently.

"They are pawns?" Ye Ling was stunned.

Hong's high-achieving disciples are pawns; who is so powerful?

Ye Kong took out the Tianyuan Chessboard. On the Tianyuan Chessboard, there were many chess pieces, of various colors.

Yun came over with tea and handed it to Ye Kong.

"I'm here to pour tea and water," Yun said with a light smile, looking at the chessboard, raising an eyebrow.

Ye Kong was indeed the chess player.

"This chessboard is so special, and the chess pieces on it are too," Ye Ling said, indicating that she couldn't understand at all.

Ye Kong waved his hand, and the chess pieces on the chessboard turned into names.

"Do you understand now?" Ye Kong asked, looking at Ye Ling.

"I understand," Ye Ling nodded.

"But who can control them?" Ye Ling couldn't understand.

Ye Kong glanced at Ye Ling and explained:

"Let's put it this way, it's not who can control them, but they are acting according to the chess player's ideas."

"The Old Dog's appearance in Lianyun Continent was actually to stir up trouble."

"The ancient powerhouses who have emerged now are all pawns pushed to the forefront, and there are still many people in the dark."

"Such as Yan, Hong, Azure Emperor, and so on."

"Wait, didn't Hong die?" Ye Ling stopped Ye Kong.

"After all, the Sovereign is the Sovereign, even if he has fallen, how could he not have a backup plan?" Yun said from the side.

"That's right!" Ye Kong nodded.

"Think about it, even the Azure Emperor has arranged a backup plan, how could Hong not have one?" Ye Kong explained.

Ye Ling frowned, "It's so chaotic!"

"This is the Immortal Cultivation World, how can it not be chaotic?"

Ye Kong took a sip of tea, then put down the teacup.

He flipped the chessboard over, emptying all the chess pieces.

"Is it still chaotic?"

"It's not chaotic anymore."

"This is my ability!" Ye Kong said.

"I can be a chess player, and I can overturn the chessboard."

Yun raised an eyebrow and stepped forward to add: "Just like the Sovereign, possessing the ability to overturn everything."

"Don't think that I can kill whoever I want now, but I can't easily take action. Once I take action, I will fall into the chessboard."

"At that time, if I overturn the chessboard, I will also be deeply trapped in it," Ye Kong continued.

Some things cannot be solved just by having strong strength.

Even if you can overturn the chessboard, once you enter the game, overturning the chessboard will also overturn yourself.

Moreover, Ye Kong didn't want his disciples to enter this chessboard and become pawns of certain people.

"In fact, Yan's plan is the best. There are Star Gazing Pavilions in all thirteen continents of the world. He was the earliest flag bearer, and then there was the Great Buddha. Don't think that the Great Buddha was beaten by me and doesn't dare to come out, but he has placed many hidden pieces in the Immortal Cultivation World."

"He is waiting for an opportunity, waiting for an opportunity to appear!" Ye Kong continued.

Ye Ling's eyebrows furrowed. The more Ye Kong said, the more confused she became, and she always felt that her brain was not working enough.

"Forget it, I don't understand."

"Have I entered the game?" Ye Ling asked curiously.

"Cough cough." Yun coughed dryly.

"Say it!" Ye Ling said sullenly.

"Lady Ling, you are not a chess piece," Yun said.

"That's good."

"You are the chessboard!"

Ye Ling: ! ! !
