Chapter 1640: One Piece Placed, the Whole Board Comes Alive (2)

It felt as though an invisible force had enveloped Her, preventing Her from choosing to leave this world at will.

However, with Her scheming nature, how could She show it just because of a few words from the other party? She was about to speak.

However, before She could speak, the Fourth True Monarch said softly.

“Am I right, unknown G.o.d?!”

This last sentence was like thunder that rumbled down.

The fox beauty’s heart skipped a beat.

Previously, when She exchanged moves with the other party, She had carefully concealed this point, and by all measures, She believed She had done well. After all, She was already half a step into the Divine Platform and had Her own secret techniques.

Moreover, after verifying what happened later, the other party indeed didn’t seem to notice.

But now…

“If it were anyone else, they naturally wouldn’t have noticed. But do you truly know why the Eastern Star Ring Tower has the name ‘Star Ring’? You don’t really believe that after crossing blades with me, I wouldn’t be able to detect the divine aura you’ve been desperately trying to conceal, do you?”

The Fourth True Monarch calmly spoke.

“I didn’t say it earlier because… I wanted to see if there was anyone else behind you!”

As he spoke, he waved his hand and a silver token suddenly appeared.

On this token was Qiu Lingshan’s name.

“This is the G.o.d Searing Token. It was specially made to seal G.o.ds in the Fifth Star Ring since ancient times. Naturally, it exists in the Immortal Palace.”

“Under the suppression of this token, if your consciousness wants to leave, you will need my permission!”

The Fourth True Monarch flicked the token lightly.

Immediately, a sealing power that was specifically targeted at G.o.ds erupted and landed here, causing the fox beauty’s body to tremble and Her breathing to become hurried.

“You can stay here for the time being.”

“Let’s see if there’s anyone behind you and if they’ll come to save you tonight. If no one appears by dawn…”

“Let’s see if I can use this token on your main body.”

“So, you can start transmitting your voice to the outside world for help now.”

The Fourth True Monarch smiled and sat down cross-legged, waiting for dawn.

Beside him, the fox beauty’s body trembled even more. The power of the G.o.d Searing caused Her eyes to slowly turn red as She resisted with all Her might.

…

The wind tonight grew stronger and stronger.

It blew into the Immortal Palace and curled up in the Junior Aurora Hall.

It lifted Xu Qing’s long hair.

In the strong wind, Xu Qing walked forward.

Many things happened today.

First, the Fourth True Monarch revealed everything.

After that, the fox beauty was expelled from the Junior Aurora Hall. Before She left, She told him about the fact that Her consciousness suddenly couldn’t leave.

After that, it was Zhong Chi’s turn to leave to avoid suspicion.

Finally, it was the entry of the daughter of the Nine Sh.o.r.es into the palace.

If this was a chess game, then the other party had already placed several pieces and trapped his major piece, rendering it unable to break free, and leaving it to be slowly devoured.

“And this movement finally… allowed me to see everything clearly!”

Xu Qing lifted his head and his gaze landed on the area where the sword furnace was located. After that, he retracted his gaze and looked at where the fox beauty was.

“As for this chess game…”

“There is a piece within it, and once it is placed, it can revitalize everything.”

Xu Qing’s figure instantly disappeared. He didn’t leave the Junior Aurora Hall but appeared outside a side hall.

That place was also the hall where the daughter of the Nine Sh.o.r.es lived after entering this palace!

The moment he stepped in, the auras of the black-armored guards from Fairy Spirit Phoenix immediately gathered in the surroundings of the hall.

“Stand down!”

Xu Qing calmly spoke.

The might of the Young Lord spread out with this sentence, suppressing everything.

This caused those auras to have no choice but to retreat.

They could only allow Xu Qing to take a step forward and bring the wind and rain into the hall. Their gazes then met.

The moment their eyes met, Spirit Phoenix’s heart trembled for no reason. However, her expression didn’t reveal anything as she spoke.

“What, you want to question me since I dispelled your fox beauty?!”

Xu Qing turned a deaf ear and walked to the window in the hall. He looked at the sky outside and spoke after a while.

“Before Zhong Chi left, he said something. He said that he had a dream. In the dream, we didn’t succeed in the wedding ceremony in the end. A calamity descended, turning everything into bloodshed.”

“Such devilish words, this person deserves to die!” Spirit Phoenix scoffed coldly.

“Speaking of devilish words, I recall the rumors some time ago. It said that many people are outsiders. Then… are you one?” Xu Qing didn’t turn around. His back was facing Spirit Phoenix as he calmly spoke.

“Your words today are very strange.” Spirit Phoenix’s heart fluctuated and she frowned.

Xu Qing smiled but he still didn’t turn around. However, what he said next was like thunder that blasted into Spirit Phoenix’s mind.

“I don’t care if you’re Yuanshan Su. Your goal is nothing more than to get involved with karma with my host and become half the master of the Immortal Palace.”

“So, do you want the wedding to be a success or a failure?”

As Xu Qing spoke, he turned around. His eyes gleamed as he looked into Spirit Phoenix’s eyes.

It was like lightning, penetrating Spirit Phoenix’s mind and seeing through everything about her.

His words were like millions of lightning bolts that rumbled and exploded.

Spirit Phoenix’s whole body trembled as she suddenly stood up, instinctively taking a few steps back.

Her heart was in turmoil, and her breath quickened in an instant. A tidal wave of consciousness surged within her, leaving her frozen in shock, staring at Xu Qing as if she had seen a ghost.

The churning in her body had reached the limit.

Her scalp was already numb!

“You… Who are you?!”

Spirit Phoenix was shocked.

She really couldn’t imagine that this Young Lord in front of her would actually point out everything and even call out her real name!

All of this made something extremely obvious.

He was an outsider!

The Young Lord was actually an outsider!

The surreal feeling drowned her entire body like a tide.

This subverted her understanding and exceeded her imagination. It even exceeded the scope of thunder. However, the truth was right in front of her.

“You…”

Spirit Phoenix’s face instantly turned pale and her thoughts fell into incomparable chaos. She opened her mouth wanting to say something but didn’t know what to say.

Looking at Spirit Phoenix with such an expression, Xu Qing was indifferent.

“I think you’d prefer a successful wedding ceremony. This will allow you to complete your goal even better.”

“So, cooperate with me and I’ll make your wedding a success.”

“If you refuse to cooperate, I will publicly reject this grand wedding, thereby altering history and creating waves!”

“Tell me your answer before I walk out of this hall.”

After Xu Qing finished speaking, he turned and walked toward the entrance of the hall.

Step by step, he got closer and closer.

Spirit Phoenix’s breathing didn’t calm down. She looked at Xu Qing’s back and the shock in her heart was still intense.

When Xu Qing was about to walk out of the hall, Spirit Phoenix let out a long breath with a complicated expression.

“I’ll cooperate!”

She couldn’t refuse.

This was because at the end of the day, all her goals were pinned on the Young Lord.

The Young Lord was the source.

Hence, from the start to the end, it was impossible for her to be an ally of the Fourth True Monarch.

As long as the Young Lord said something, she had no choice but to obey!

Upon hearing Spirit Phoenix’s answer, Xu Qing, who was standing beside the hall gate, felt no emotions.

He was clear that after he revealed his ident.i.ty, the other party had no choice at all.

Her purpose determined her standpoint.

Hence, he calmly spoke.

“Very good. Tonight, I don’t care how you do it. Go and protect the fox beauty.”

With that, Xu Qing took a step out of the main hall. In the wind, he looked in the direction of the fox beauty and muttered inwardly.

“Fourth Senior Brother, since you want to fight a decisive battle, I’ll fight a decisive battle with you tonight!”

At this moment, a strong wind howled, blotting out the sky.

It became a storm!
