Dragon Hidden in the Sky

Chapter 1371 Breakthrough Opportunity

"A chessboard of stars?" Fang Chen's expression shifted between light and shadow as he asked, "How do we get across?"

“The buildings around us should form a kind of formation, but each formation is ever-changing. In such a transformation, one wrong move could lead to utter ruin!” Qin Hongyi said. “I don’t know much about the Star Chess. I need to find a master to break this game!” Qin Hongyi said, “There should be such a Star Chess master among Ye Qing’s group!”

"In Star Chess, I only know two people who are good at it. One is Gu Xiaoge, who has been playing chess with Emperor Tianyan since she was a child, and her skills are superb!" The veiled woman from the Western Emperor Sect said, "The other is Yan Fu! He is also at the Domain Lord level. I wonder if he has come to this Genius Battle!"

"Send someone to go look for it!" Fang Chen shouted.

As they were talking, Ye Qing realized they hadn't made a move against him, and he breathed a slight sigh of relief.

At this distance, it would be quite troublesome for a Domain Lord-level being a non-spiritual master to attack them.

But as time went on, they walked slower and slower, and the big yellow dog had to think for a long time for each step, sometimes even taking about an hour.

The process of navigating this intricate chessboard was much slower than Ye Qing had anticipated; a whole day had passed and they still hadn't finished.

The next day, Fang Chen and his group found Yan Fu. After he arrived, Fang Chen explained the situation, and Yan Fu began to make calculations.

Then, Fang Chen and his group of dozens of people began to step onto the chessboard.

They left some people behind to guard the entrance!

When Ye Qing saw them step onto the chessboard, he turned around and glanced at them, feeling slightly surprised!

Among the dozens of people were many of his acquaintances.

Chen Sixue, Cao Luo, Ji Wushuang, Yun Yi, Qin Hongyi!

"They've caught up with the trend!" Ye Qing squinted.

"Ye Qing!" Fang Chen shouted as he walked forward, "I didn't expect you to come here too. You have a way to heaven but you choose to walk into hell. From now on, you're a sitting duck! Give up, stand still and let me chop you up. I'll give you a quick death!"

Hearing Fang Chen's words, Ye Qing curled his lip and said, "What kind of crap are you? You dare to talk to me like that? The last people who talked to me like that were the Great Emperor Taixu and the Great Emperor Xuanhuang. They're both dead. You bunch of little minions don't even deserve to come looking for me?"

"Hmph, all you've got is a silver tongue," Fang Chen sneered. "If you've got the guts, stay here and fight me!"

"You seal your strength at the mid-stage of the Domain Lord realm, and see if I can slap you to death!" Ye Qing said with a sneer. "Of course, there's no rush now. Take your time, and I'll wipe out all of you in one fell swoop. Although I can't deal with the Heavenly Court right now, you should all be Holy Sons and Daughters of the Heavenly Court, right? I'll collect some interest first!"

As Ye Qing spoke, he threw some scraps of paper on the ground.

He planned to give them a big one when they arrived in his area.

“The route they took is different from ours!” Lin Qianyu said at that moment.

Ye Qing's expression shifted slightly as he said, "It seems it really is! They didn't fall!"

“There’s never just one way to solve this Starry Chessboard!” Wang Xue said. “As long as the logic is sound, the game can be solved. They probably have another solution, but that’s fine. If they think of the same solution as this big yellow dog, they can remember the path we take and they might be able to catch up with us!”

Ye Qing frowned. Apart from a few people, the vast majority of the group chasing him were at the peak of the Domain Lord level. There were dozens of peak Domain Lords, and they all had the inheritance of a level nine civilization. Such people were among the strongest in their level!

Among them are people like Qin Hongyi!

The big yellow dog should be able to handle him, but dealing with the others will be a problem for our group!

Facing this group of peak domain lords, Ye Qing had little chance of winning against even one of them, let alone a large group.

Because of the high speed in the early stages, the distance between the two sides was gradually being closed.

Fortunately, the person's calculation speed gradually slowed down later on, which relieved everyone slightly.

……

Just as Ye Qing was being targeted by the Heavenly Court and a large group of people were chasing after him, on the other side...

At the foot of a mountain range in the Taixi Ancient Mine, Gu Xiaoge and Gu Qingcheng were standing on a mountain peak.

Ahead of them, a person was giving a report.

"The harvest this time wasn't as much as I expected!" one person said.

Gu Qingcheng nodded and said, "Finding star-patterned stones is inherently based on luck, so just collect as many as possible."

"Yes!" the man said. "By the way, Holy Maiden, there's another matter I feel I need to report to you!"

Gu Qingcheng's expression shifted, and she asked, "What is it?"

"News has come from Jueqian Mountain that Ye Qing and his group have discovered an ancient tomb of a Great Emperor and have already entered it!" the visitor said. "The Heavenly Enlightenment Saint Son Fang Chen, the Primordial Saint Son Yun Yi, the Ancient Clan Saint Son Gu Mo, and others have led their people into the tomb. They intend to kill Ye Qing and search for the Great Emperor's inheritance!"

"The Great Emperor's legacy?" Gu Xiaoge's pupils suddenly contracted. "Where is it?!"

"Sister, are you going?" Gu Qingcheng asked.

Gu Xiaoge nodded and said, "I have been stuck at the peak of the Domain Lord realm for more than ten years with almost no progress. The difference between the Venerable realm and the Venerable realm is like heaven and earth!"

“I didn’t even want to come this time!” Gu Xiaoge said, “But… I have a premonition that the key to my breakthrough to the Venerable realm lies in this Taixi Ancient Mine, so I came. And the Great Emperor’s Tomb might just be that opportunity!”

At this point, Gu Xiaoge said, "You stay here to take charge of the overall situation, I'll go alone!"

"No, I have to go too!" Gu Qingcheng said. "I want to see Ye Qing!"

Gu Xiaoge frowned, stared at Gu Qingcheng for a long time, and then nodded and said, "Then... alright!"
