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

Chapter 1546: Chapter 1546: Planning, the Situation! (3/7) Chapter 1546: Chapter 1546: Planning, the Situation! (3/7) Chu Xiang, who ranked fifteenth on the Cangxuan List, naturally had extraordinary strength.

It was normal for him to have that confidence, as apart from a few top individuals, no one was a match for Chu Xiang.

When Chu Xiang appeared,

Jiu Bailu’s gaze became icy in an instant.

Then, turning her head to look at Mu Fusheng beside her, her cold gaze melted like icebergs, and she chuckled, “What do you want to do?”

Damn it.

Such disparity in treatment.

Chu Xiang almost slapped himself in the face.

This blatant display of affection was infuriating, making his face flush red with anger.

Mu Fusheng, visibly annoyed, glanced at Jiu Bailu and thought, even at a time like this, you’re still fanning the flames.

Are you so eager to see him fight with full strength?

As expected, the aura around Chu Xiang exploded, revealing the strength of someone half a step into the Divine Realm as he steadily moved towards Mu Fusheng.

“So be it, I’ll make you choose to retreat then,” he declared.

But to his surprise, Mu Fusheng said, “Why would you think I’d want to clash head-on with you?”

Chu Xiang was slightly stunned.

Jiu Bailu, with even more amusement on her face, seemed to have anticipated what was coming next.

Mu Fusheng continued, “You should understand the rules of this forest by now, right? Since we could come before you, you must realize you can only move forward, not left, right, or backwards, whereas we can move freely, right?”

“Thinking more aggressively, I’m afraid even our speeds must be suppressed to the same level, right? After all, we are but pawns, and if it’s this rule, it must be somewhat fair; otherwise, it wouldn’t make sense.”

The more Mu Fusheng spoke, the more uncomfortable Chu Xiang felt.

Because everything Mu Fusheng said was true…

So, left with no choice, Chu Xiang tried to provoke him, “Are you planning to show cowardice in front of the Princess? In that case, it only shows you are even less worthy of her.”

Mu Fusheng responded with a shrug, “I’ll retreat if I want to. If my realm isn’t enough to fight you, who’s the fool here—you or do you think I am?”

Jiu Bailu chimed in from the side, “Having brains is better.”

Pfff!

Chu Xiang clutched his chest, feeling as if he had been stabbed twice in the heart by this dog couple.

“Provocation won’t work on me, so just keep playing by yourself, oh, and I forgot to tell you, if you cross the Chu-Han boundary, you can no longer come back.”

“After all, we are just pawns, and pawns can never retreat.”

Having said that, Mu Fusheng waved at Chu Xiang and then walked away.

Meanwhile, Chu Xiang frantically tried to turn towards Mu Fusheng’s direction, but to no avail; at most, his neck kept twisting that way, looking extremely ridiculous and bizarre.

However, he could only rage impotently here, finally forced to watch as Mu Fusheng and Jiu Bailu gradually disappeared from his sight.

But just before vanishing from view,

whether intentionally or “unintentionally”,

Jiu Bailu deliberately wrapped her arm around Mu Fusheng’s.

Damn it!

Chu Xiang stomped his foot on the ground, causing a loud noise, but without any damage.

A roar also squeezed out of Chu Xiang’s throat.

“I, Chu Xiang, swear not to rest until I have killed you!!!”

The roar was quite loud.

Even as Mu Fusheng and Jiu Bailu walked away, they could still hear bits of the echo.

Seeing Jiu Bailu, who almost seemed ready to jump for joy with her hands behind her back, Mu Fusheng said helplessly, “Tell me, when did I not realize you had such a dark side?”

Jiu Bailu smiled radiantly, “Don’t you know that women are fickle creatures?”

Suddenly, Mu Fusheng felt a bit dizzy.

Indeed, women should not be provoked, they are too troublesome…

…

The two strolled through the dense forest, Jiu Bailu looked at Mu Fusheng beside her and smiled again, then turned her gaze to the surrounding trees.

Although it was still shrouded in dense fog, very dark,

at this moment, in Jiu Bailu’s eyes, everything seemed to turn sunny and splendid.

At that time, Mu Fusheng was about to say something,

Jiu Bailu directly interrupted, “Shut up.”

Mu Fusheng was stunned, and after seeing Jiu Bailu take another look around, he couldn’t help but sigh, “The good mood was still ruined.”

“Ruined? By whom?” Mu Fusheng was baffled.

There wasn’t a third person here.

Could it be himself? But what did I do?

Jiu Bailu rolled her eyes and said, “Speak, what were you about to say?”

Only then did Mu Fusheng push these thoughts aside and said, “Alright, I’ll say it, the chess tactics here are most likely based on those of the Chaos Realm, so if we want to checkmate the general, we must first take out the two advisors by his side.”

The rules of the Chaos Realm were just like that.

If you don’t take out the advisors first, you can’t launch an attack on the general.

“At the same time, they will also have a drawback, the two advisors and the general will definitely be confined within a certain area and won’t be able to leave it, so what we need to do is pinpoint their location, and then wait for our people to cross the Chu and Han borders.”

“But conversely, they might also try to attack our general. We’ve already crossed the river and can’t retreat, we can only resolve this quickly.”

Jiu Bailu nodded unenthusiastically and then said, “You know, sometimes could you not be sharper?”

“Ah?”

Mu Fusheng was on the verge of insanity.

What is all this?

For the first time, Mu Fusheng felt completely unable to keep up with someone’s train of thought.

Of course, except for master.

The two followed the plan, but they did not explore themselves; they took out a puppet and relied on it to scout the way.

This was one of the loopholes in the rules.

The rules of chess dictated that each piece had its limitations.

But external objects that were not the pieces themselves had no specified rules.

So, puppets, these external objects, could still be freely controlled.

After deploying the puppet, they did indeed encounter other people during the exploration and also saw statues of chess pieces that had not yet been activated.

But ultimately, the puppet ventured deeper into the enemy territory

and saw three people standing together.

These three, surprisingly, were all from the Immortal Realm.

And the man in the middle, even through the puppet, Mu Fusheng could feel from his body a dangerous aura far surpassing ordinary people!

Even Chu Xiang wasn’t comparable!

Needless to say,

these three were undoubtedly the advisors and the general.

The man in the middle was likely the strongest from this Divine Academy session.

And to cross over to their location, in the middle there would be two footsoldiers, a cannon, and an elephant, a horse.

The chariot, however, was nowhere to be found.

But that was also right, the chariot’s range of movement and speed should be the fastest.

After gathering this information,

Jiu Bailu looked toward the rear and said, “Someone’s coming.”

Mu Fusheng slightly frowned and turned to look back.

There, six people were approaching together.

Seeing the first figure, Mu Fusheng burst out laughing.

“It seems the eldest apprentice brother and the others have also successfully made it through.”
