Chapter 310: Emperor Mausoleum Canyon, Playing Against Chess Emperor Xiao Wang

“Please, Empress, don’t worry, we will definitely guard this place, no matter what, we will not let the skeleton army advance an inch!”

Several Holy Emperors agreed with the decision, and no one dared to disobey.

The cultivators cupped their hands to express their determination.

Putting away her bamboo flute, Chu Qingyue coldly nodded.

The cultivators under many sects had already formed their formations, responding to the challenge of the oncoming skeleton army.

And Chu Qingyue no longer stayed, riding the wind, heading towards the depths of the Emperor Mausoleum.

Nie Chen, Ao Lan, and the Three Emperors followed closely behind.

“Roar!”

Furious roars rose and fell, those skeletons as if thoroughly enraged, exerting their utmost effort to block the path.

But the cultivators were like a city wall, blocking their path, making it impossible for the skeleton army, surging like a tide, to advance a step.

The chaotic great battle officially started, both sides engaged in close combat, and all sorts of magical treasures’ lights flashed.

Boundless cultivators fought bloodily, desperately blocking the skeleton army before them.

Maybe various sects had fought over cultivation resources or magical treasures, or maybe some cultivators had personal grudges.

But at this moment, they were all very clear.

When in the Lanchuan Continent, there might be disputes.

But once entering the Emperor Mausoleum, all cultivators of the Lanchuan Continent must unite against the common enemy.

Because what they faced, no matter how formidable, was a terrifying power that could destroy the entire Lanchuan Continent.

Only by doing their best to block these skeleton armies and allowing the four Great Emperors to enter the depths of the Emperor Mausoleum could they possibly solve the strange and unusual situation within the Emperor Mausoleum.

“Kill!”

The silver spear trembled, and Extreme East Holy Emperor Duanmu Hong took the lead, shouting loudly.

“Kill!”

Boundless cultivators shouted in unison, exhausting all their strength, throwing their heads and spilling their blood.

“We are willing to fight for Empress Qingyue!”

Even though the boundless skeleton army was formidable, there was almost no retreat, vowing to hold this line!

……

Following the Venerable’s guidance, the five people and one dragon entered one of the boundless paths.

But when they stepped into the canyon, the scene before them was different from when they entered the Emperor Mausoleum.

A line as if completely divided two worlds.

Outside the canyon, it was still dense and exuded a dark blood-red aura; while inside the canyon, the sky was azure blue with dark clouds.

A gentle breeze blew, accompanied by a hint of refreshing fragrance.

The narrow and long canyon was filled with numerous flowers and plants, gently swaying in the wind.

Quiet and peaceful, it didn’t seem like a scene within the Emperor Mausoleum at all.

It was as if it was an extremely ordinary yet beautiful natural landscape.

Although bland, it was captivating.

But, looking at the tranquil scene before him, Nie Chen was not completely relaxed.

The appearance of such a scene in the Emperor Mausoleum did not necessarily prove safety, but instead might indicate that boundless dangers lurked in secret.

“Don’t stay, if you want to go through here to the depths of the Emperor Mausoleum, come over. If you don’t want to, please go back.”

Just at this moment, a voice suddenly appeared in the center of the canyon.

It was an extremely elegant and handsome man.

He wore a blue-gray robe, with long black hair scattered.

He exuded a sense of elegance, like a refined poet amidst the mountains and rivers.

And the most striking thing was the chessboard placed in front of him as he sat cross-legged.

“Xuanji Chessboard!”

Chu Qingyue’s gaze couldn’t help but change slightly.

“Wife, do you know him?”

Nie Chen’s gaze also sharpened, sensing the unusual aura of the man.

Chu Qingyue nodded slightly: “Yes, I once saw it in the records. Rumors say there was a Great Emperor who pursued the Dao of Chess with all his heart. The Xuanji Chessboard in his hand can evolve into the world. And this Xiao Wang, known as the Chess Emperor, was as arrogant as his name. Although elegant and easygoing in other aspects, he didn’t believe anyone could surpass him in the Dao of Chess. Later, he even challenged the sky, playing chess against Heaven. Finally, he perished in the struggle with the Heavenly Dao.”

“Xiao Wang, he really lives up to his name.”

Although he eventually perished, challenging the Heavenly Dao with his own power, this Chess Emperor was indeed admirable.

“How, don’t you even have anyone who dares to play chess with me? As long as you can defeat me, you can pass through this place and enter the depths of the Emperor Mausoleum.”

Xiao Wang, sitting in front of the chessboard, suddenly smiled, with a confident and arrogant expression.

“I’ll come…”

“Let me do it.”

Great Emperor Jin Ming, who knew a little about chess, was interrupted just as he spoke.

Immediately afterward, Nie Chen patted his shoulder and smiled:

“Let me do it, this is the Chess Emperor, little friend, you shouldn’t interfere.”

“This Emperor is not a little friend, this Emperor is a Great Emperor!”

Great Emperor Jin Ming was almost angered to death.

Besides Nie Chen, who else dared to mock him with his young boyish appearance?

“Are you sure you can defeat the Chess Emperor?”

Nie Chen looked at him and smiled.

“This…”

Great Emperor Jin Ming was stunned for a moment.

His mastery of the Dao of Chess indeed far surpassed ordinary cultivators.

But against the once famous Chess Emperor Xiao Wang of the entire Lanchuan Continent, he had no chance of winning.

If he really lost, he would be even more embarrassed than he was now.

“Go ahead, if you really want to go, you can go. But if you lose, don’t blame this Empress for laughing at you.”

Great Emperor Jin Ming triumphantly snorted.

Although he didn’t think he could defeat Xiao Wang, he didn’t believe Nie Chen could either.

A young man with a bone age of only twenty, how could he have the experience and overall view to control the Xuanji Chessboard?

Just relying on him, he thought he could win?

“Go, then leave it to me, little friend, you just watch from the side, practice your child’s play when you have time.”

Nie Chen patted Great Emperor Jin Ming’s shoulder.

“I’ll fight you…!”

If it weren’t for wanting to see Nie Chen make a fool of himself, Great Emperor Jin Ming would have been driven mad.

“You… be careful, if you are truly powerless, let this Empress come.”

Seeing that Nie Chen was about to play against Xiao Wang, Chu Qingyue’s cold face couldn’t help but reveal a worried expression.

“Wife, you can play chess too?”

Just now, Nie Chen quickly remembered.

Besides cooking, the Empress seemed… to be all-powerful.

“Don’t worry, you won’t be needed this time, just wait and see how your husband performs.”

Nie Chen smiled and sat opposite Xiao Wang.

Between the two, was the Empress’s Xuanji Chessboard, containing endless profundity.

“I’ll let you have the first move, how about that?”

As Xiao Wang’s voice descended, the chessboard suddenly conjured a massive phantom.

The phantom quickly spread, even encompassing the entire canyon in an instant.

There were mountains and rivers, the endless vast sky above, and the vast earth below.

The scene evolved by this Xuanji Chessboard was actually a small world!
