I See the Aura of the Great Emperor in All My Disciples

Chapter 1545: Chapter 1545: Chess Rules, Chu River Han Border! (2/7) Chapter 1545: Chapter 1545: Chess Rules, Chu River Han Border! (2/7) As the puppet god statue stepped into the epicenter of the talismans’ explosion,

Mu Fusheng swung his great hand without hesitation, igniting all the talismans in the first circle!

In an instant, tree branches, twigs, leaves, trunks, and the ground’s stone crevices all began to flicker with intense lightning.

A destructive aura immediately filled the area.

However, it was unknown by what method the dense fog was constructed, for it could even shield such a destructive battle aura, preventing it from spreading beyond ten miles.

This was good news for Mu Fusheng, as it meant there was no need to exhaust himself setting up a seal book to isolate the area before the fight.

For a moment, the dazzling lightning completely enveloped the puppet god statue.

Mu Fusheng and Jiu Bailu endured the stinging pain the brilliant lightning brought to their eyes, staring intently into the midst of it.

Until the lightning dissipated, the figure of the puppet god statue had vanished as well.

Not that it had disappeared without a trace,

but it had shrunk, lying on the ground like a chess soldier piece.

Mu Fusheng and Jiu Bailu exchanged glances.

Jiu Bailu immediately wanted to step forward to investigate but was pulled back by Mu Fusheng.

Under Jiu Bailu’s speechless gaze, Mu Fusheng once again tossed out a puppet crafted by Mo Yu to lead the way.

Only after the puppet had picked up the chess piece, looked it over from left to right, and confirmed there was no problem, did Mu Fusheng slowly approach.

Jiu Bailu gave Mu Fusheng a look of utter speechlessness.

Mu Fusheng, unembarrassed, asserted with confidence, “What if it’s a trap? It’s always right to be cautious.”

Indeed.

He was right.

“Only some are too outrageous.”

Mu Fusheng countered, “This is called being meticulous.”

Mu Fusheng took the chess piece from the puppet’s hand; it looked exactly like the puppet god statue.

Except it had a small base at the bottom.

“Why does this look so familiar?” Mu Fusheng wondered, scratching his head.

Jiu Bailu said, observing the chess piece, “It’s Xiangqi, a soldier piece.”

Mu Fusheng exclaimed in shock, “Who taught you this ‘Xiangqi’?”

Jiu Bailu looked at Mu Fusheng strangely, “The high-ranking powers in the Chaos Realm have basically all heard of it and played; doesn’t The Mortal Realm’s royal family have it?”

Mu Fusheng shook his head in horror.

No power in The Mortal Realm had it.

He had only seen this chess in his master’s possession, and it was also his master who taught them to play,

though they could never beat their master.

But in principle, this game should only exist in the Longevity World.

They had asked before where this game of chess was played, and at that time his master had said it did not belong to this world.

How could such a thing exist elsewhere?

Next, Mu Fusheng confirmed the rules of the game with Jiu Bailu.

Though there were some differences, the general idea was still to win by capturing the opponent’s army.

How could this be possible?

No, he must tell this information to his master later. It might not seem particularly useful, but Mu Fusheng’s intuition told him that this clue was absolutely crucial for his master.

“But… where is the clue?”

Just as he finished speaking, the surrounding thick fog seemed to lighten slightly.

Jiu Bailu suddenly pointed to the left front, saying, “Look over there.”

Mu Fusheng looked in the direction Jiu Bailu was pointing, and the fog on this small pathway was particularly thin, contrasting starkly with the surrounding thick fog, as if intentionally guiding them to follow this path.

Now, this was the only clue they had, whether it was a trap or an exit, they could only follow this path.

Mu Fusheng saw the path and couldn’t help but slightly frown.

Does this not seem quite wrong?

Mu Fusheng said, “Let’s walk around in other places first, perhaps there are other clues.”

This time, Jiu Bailu and Mu Fusheng shared the same thought.

Creating this path out of thin air, it’s fair to say that traps and opportunities are at seventy to thirty.

However, just as the two planned to walk in other directions, they found that they simply couldn’t lift their feet.

Mu Fusheng and Jiu Bailu were both shocked, no matter how they circulated the immortal aura within their bodies, they couldn’t move an inch in any other direction.

Could it be…

Mu Fusheng and Jiu Bailu exchanged glances, both with a solemn look in their eyes, they both stepped onto the path that had been cleared.

At that moment, they stepped forward without any hindrance.

That meant they could only walk this path now, unable to move left, right, or backward, only forward.

However, the cautious Mu Fusheng wouldn’t be any less vigilant.

It wasn’t long before they walked.

The two then saw a river crossing in the middle.

Jiu Bailu and Mu Fusheng said in unison, “The Chu River and Han boundary?”

The two exchanged glances again, further confirming the guess in their hearts.

“It seems that the clues within the Thick Fog Forest are related to chess,” Jiu Bailu confirmed.

The Chu River and Han boundary, coupled with the soldier chess piece, and after they obtained the soldier chess piece, they could no longer move left, right, or backward, only forward.

If the guess was correct, as long as they crossed this river, they would be able to move freely.

Mu Fusheng nodded, “Perhaps, we need to capture the opponent’s general to walk out of this place.”

Soon after, the two crossed the river.

They tried moving in other directions.

They indeed could move freely now, only their speed seemed to have slowed down.

It was as if a large and mysterious force was suppressing them, limiting their speed.

This also matched the setting for the soldier chess piece.

“So, that being said, we’ve now crossed the Chu River and Han boundary, which means we’ve entered the enemy’s territory and could encounter opponents at any moment,” Jiu Bailu seemed to have figured everything out, “And since we could obtain the soldier chess piece, that means other people might’ve already obtained different chess pieces.”

“Each chess piece imposes a restriction on its holder.”

Mu Fusheng nodded and said, “Then we better find and join up with those who belong to our side with the same chess pieces first.”

But life is often not as one wishes.

Even if you plan ahead for everything, things always go contrary to your expectations and wishes.

They hadn’t moved much at all.

A man was approaching from straight ahead.

The man held a chess piece in his hand.

However, this chess piece was red and also a soldier.

This meant that they belonged to opposing factions. Moreover, the other party hadn’t yet crossed the Chu River and Han boundary, and could only move forward, unable to retreat.

And this person, they were very familiar with.

It was the one they had met back at the Cangxuan Academy.

And who had said in front of Jiu Bailu that Mu Fusheng was unworthy of her.

Fifteenth on the Cangxuan List, Chu Xiang!

And Chu Xiang had also reached the half-step Divine Realm.

Chu Xiang looked at the two of them, then smiled faintly, “It looks like a battle between you and me is inevitable, just in time for Your Highness to see whether you truly deserve her!”
