After Tarsylia led the way into the Gate of the Yellow Springs, Ullr did not move. Instead, he stared coldly at the group of Ghost Kings. The auras of the Thunder Light, the Ghost Emperor Seal of the North, and the Seal of the True God of the Thunder Division were faintly discernible. The Silver Box of Spirit in his left hand was still emitting a faint light.
The meaning was clear. He had already done his best. The huge benefits had been revealed and the order had been given. What happened next would depend on the choices of the Ghost Kings.
If they still did not listen to the military orders, he could only use thunderous methods.
Ullr had confidence in staying here. Under normal circumstances, only the Ghost King and the Ghost Commander would dare to attack him. As long as the aura of the Ghost Emperor Seal was out, Ghost Generals, Ghost Guards, and Ghost Soldiers would lose all their warpath and would not be a threat to him.
To put it bluntly, if the Ghost Kings in front of him did not listen to his orders, they might ruin his plan. However, it was impossible for them to kill him.
“I’ll go in first!” The first to act was the Stone Bearer Ghost King. While he received the order from Ullr, he roared and rushed into the Gate of the Yellow Springs with his men. Due to his communication with the Stone Bearer Ghost King, Xu Tui understood the reason why the Stone Bearer Ghost King was the first to rush in—for the reward.
He wanted to obtain the Silver Spirit Box. In the past few thousand years, the Stone Bearer Ghost King had visited the Reincarnation Division four times. More than a third of his true spirit had been worn away. In the past, he had no choice. Now that Ullr had revealed the treasure of the Silver Box of Spirit, the Stone Bearer Ghost King was naturally extremely tempted, so he was the first to agree.
With the first one, there was the second one. Then, it was the Red Tiger Ghost King, followed by the Sanyang Ghost King. Judge Liu also hurriedly expressed that he wanted to rush in. As the Ghost Commander that Ghost Emperor Ullr had specially roped in, Judge Liu had to show his loyalty.
Judge Liu wanted to enter, so Xu Tui, who was acting as a ghost general beside him, naturally had to follow him in.
Xu Tui was not too worried about the danger. If the Netherworld allowed a few Ghost Kings to lead a team in, it meant that the back of the Gate of the Yellow Springs was not the kind of death trap. There must be something going on. Of course, there was definitely danger.
However, it was not the kind of danger where he would die the moment he entered. Xu Tui was still a little confident. Especially the strange call inside.
The passage of the Gate of the Yellow Springs was extremely fast. The group of people from the Netherworld flew over at high speed and instantly passed through. The feeling of passing through the Gate of the Yellow Springs was a little similar to the vortex door at the node of the cosmic tunnel, but it was not that heavy.
The moment he entered, a dark cloud-like killing intent assaulted him.
Xu Tui was stunned. He suddenly turned around to avoid colliding with the people in front. He realized that the people who had entered previously, including Tarsylia, Norridon, Kui He, and the others, were all floating in the air and looking down at the ground. All of them had strange expressions.
Noridon and Kui He, who had entered earlier, looked down with confused expressions. When they saw everyone enter, they communicated with Tarsylia happily.
“Look down,” Judge Liu reminded Xu Tui. When he lowered his head to look, an indescribable stench of blood suddenly assaulted him. Logically speaking, he could not smell the stench of blood in his mental body.
But he really did.
In just an instant, the clouds below changed into an ancient battlefield that shook the heavens. The sound of sabers and swords piercing into flesh, the sound of blood flying everywhere, and shrill battle cries.
Below him was a battlefield. It was an ancient battlefield that looked like a flesh mill. Even though he was looking down from the sky, a tragic aura assaulted him.
On the battlefield, a strange situation suddenly occurred. A silver-spear general suddenly rose into the air and broke through the encirclement. He stabbed the commander-in-chief of the other party in the throat. Just as Xu Tui thought that the battle was about to end, all the scenes on the battlefield below suddenly converged. Balls of light gathered, and the images below gathered into something that looked like a grid.
There were two words between the two squares—Heavenly River!
Xu Tui was stunned. He suddenly understood. The chessboard. If the word ‘Heavenly River’ in the middle was changed to ‘Chuhe Hanjie’, it would be a very standard chessboard. Dozens of streams of light condensed above the chessboard. Rows of ancient seal characters were displayed in an array in front of everyone.
General, Minister, Chariot, Horse, Cannon, Advisor and Soldier. Dozens of chess pieces were arranged in an array. They were divided into black and red.
Xiangqi!
What was it trying to do? Why was there such a huge chessboard behind the Gate of the Yellow Springs? What did it mean to have chess pieces?
“Sir, you should have seen it, right?” Judge Liu suddenly sent a mental voice transmission.
“I saw it. Have you heard of this thing? What does the chessboard mean?” Xu Tui asked.
“I’ve never heard of it. Even if the Netherworld has explored the Hell Extreme Domain in the past, there have never been such records,” Judge Liu said.
“This is really strange. Did such a chessboard appear for us to play chess? Wouldn’t I be invincible?” Xu Tui complained.
Xu Tui’s level of chess was not high, but he had Ah Huang. Although Ah Huang could not connect to the Internet, it had an independent and powerful quantum computing function. As long as he got Ah Huang’s help, he was confident that he could play chess with thousands of people and win.
“If you’re playing chess, then the chess piece is outside the board. Eh?” As he spoke, Judge Liu let out a soft exclamation. “Sir, use your mind power to touch the chess piece. It seems to be able to communicate.”
