Chapter 684 The clown
Yuling Fairy City, the City Lord’s Mansion, in a stone pavilion.
There are five ancient and heavy chessboards placed there. They seem to be only a few feet long, but upon closer inspection, you will find that there is something else inside. Each chessboard has evolved into an independent world.
On the chessboard, black and white chess pieces are intertwined and scattered, just like the vast world in that world, where countless strong men are leading thousands of troops in fierce fighting and collision.
The sounds of killing kept coming out from the chessboards, which was shocking. If one was not under the Dao Master's power and did not have the Chaos Spirit Treasure to protect him, his soul would be taken away in an instant and he would become a walking corpse.
Su Mo, dressed in snow-white clothes, sat calmly in the center of the stone pavilion, playing chess alone with Gu Tong and five other maids.
He looked relaxed and comfortable, holding the black piece firmly in his hand. Every move he made seemed calm and unhurried, as if the entire chess game and even everything in the world was under his control.
In contrast, Gu Tong and the other five maids wore completely different expressions. Each of them stared intently at the chessboard before them, their brows furrowed in thought, their eyes filled with confusion. Their slender, white fingers hovered in mid-air, their fingers trembling slightly as they grasped a white piece, hesitant to release it. As time passed, beads of sweat gradually formed on their foreheads, gleaming in the sunlight.
Su Mo did not rush, he casually picked up the teacup beside him and took a sip of the fairy tea. The warm tea slid down his throat, carrying a hint of fragrance, making him look more relaxed.
The next second...
Su Mo's gaze turned inadvertently towards the southeast, and a playful smile passed across the corner of his mouth imperceptibly.
......
After half a stick of incense.
Gu Tong and the other five maids seemed to sense something unusual at the same time. They all turned their gazes towards Su Mo and called out in unison, "Master..."
Cold murderous intent flickered in their eyes.
Su Mo waved his hand gently, signaling them not to rush into action. With a faint smile on his face, he said leisurely, "Don't worry. This is a good opportunity to use them for some fun. It's getting a bit boring being stuck in this City Lord's Mansion all day."
Upon hearing this, the five girls of Gu Tong didn't say anything more. They thought their master's words were destiny. They turned their eyes away and continued to ponder their own chess games. They didn't take the invading enemy seriously at all. They were just a bunch of ignorant clowns who didn't even have a King of the Avenue. Any one of them could easily deal with them, let alone their master.
......
After tea time.
The Chaos Divine Ship, which was over ten thousand feet long, appeared a road outside the Yuling Immortal City. At this moment, the masters of the great Dao in the Yuling Immortal City finally noticed something was wrong. Rays of divine consciousness rose from the top forces in the Yuling Immortal City like sharp swords, covering the direction of the Chaos Divine Ship.
"Hiss... What grade of divine ship is this? I can't even see through it."
"Look, that man on the Shenzhou deck, could he be the former city lord—Duanmu Kong?"
"This...it really is that old ghost Duanmu."
......
In an instant, all the masters of the great avenues in the entire Yuling Fairy City were like drops of water thrown into hot oil, and the whole place exploded.
It hasn't been long since then, and Duanmu Kong has made a comeback.
Soon, a heavy gloom covered the hearts of all the masters of the great way, and their eyes were filled with worry.
Since Duanmu Laogui dared to return to Yuling Fairy City so blatantly and openly, he must be absolutely sure that he could defeat City Lord Su and regain the position of City Lord.
When the masters of the great ways thought of the high-pressure and cruel methods used during Duanmu Kong's reign, they felt a chill down their spines.
Compared with the current City Lord Su, Duanmu Kong is a demon from the underworld hell. The two are completely like one in heaven and the other on earth.
Many lords of the great avenues were even more nervous, their hearts almost in their throats. After Duanmu Kong was defeated and left the city, they had tried their best to seize the Duanmu clan's base in the city. With Duanmu Kong's vengeful character, he would never let them go.
"Master Su Mo, you must win!"
Many of the great avenue masters almost simultaneously looked towards the City Lord's Mansion and prayed silently in their hearts. Now, the only one they could rely on was Su Mo, the new City Lord.
Just when the Lords of the Great Dao were worried, the Chaos Divine Ship rushed straight towards the City Lord's Mansion without any hindrance as if it were entering an empty land.
"You didn't stop me?"
On the deck of the Chaos Divine Ship, Duanmu Kong was slightly stunned, a look of surprise crossing his face. He had thought that this Su Mo kid would use the city defense formation to first deplete some of his strength and gain a better chance of victory in the next battle.
"Could it be that this Su Mo kid has some conspiracy?"
Duanmu Kong frowned, but soon relaxed, and a confident and arrogant smile reappeared on his face. In the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy and trickery is nothing but a futile struggle, everything is false.
This time, the reason why he dared to come back so confidently was not only because of his own strength, but also because...
Duanmu Kong subconsciously glanced at the magnificent palace in the center of Shenzhou behind him, and a deep awe flashed in his eyes.
......
After a few breaths.
The Chaos Divine Ship appeared steadily above the City Lord's Mansion like a wild giant beast.
"Boom..."
The void shook violently, as if it was hit hard by an invisible giant hand.
Immediately afterwards, Duanmu Kong took a step forward and left the Chaos Divine Ship like lightning.
"boom......"
In an instant, Duanmu Kong's aura erupted like a volcano, venting out without reservation, and crushing towards the entire City Lord's Mansion with great force. Wherever he passed, the City Lord's Mansion's protective formation trembled violently, like a mirror that was hit hard, with terrifying criss-crossing cracks appearing, as if it would completely shatter in the next moment.
"Ah...this aura...the Hundred...the Hundred Dao King. This old ghost Duanmu is the Hundred Dao King. How is this possible?"
Around Yuling Fairy City, a group of Dao Lords were horrified. Their eyes were as big as copper bells, full of disbelief.
When Duanmu Kong left Yuling Fairy City, he had only comprehended the seventy-two great ways and was still seriously injured. It was considered good enough that he could recover from his injuries in such a short period of less than two hundred million years. However, how could he possibly control the twenty-eight great ways in succession and become the master of a hundred ways? This was simply a fantasy.
Just when everyone was shocked and at a loss, the void behind Duanmu Kong suddenly twisted violently, as if the space was being kneaded by an invisible giant hand.
Immediately afterwards, shadows of avenues that blocked out the sky and the sun slowly emerged from the void like ancient giant beasts, hovering behind Duanmu Kong and covering most of the Yuling Fairy City.
"Ah... Hundred... Hundred Daos, he really is the King of the Hundred Daos."
The Taoist masters around were shocked. The cruel reality was right before their eyes and they had no choice but to believe it.
"What kind of great opportunity did this old ghost Duanmu get?"
A Lord of the Great Dao couldn't help but mutter to himself, his voice filled with shock and confusion.
In just less than 200 million years, he had mastered 28 avenues in succession. This opportunity was completely beyond their imagination.
To reach their level of cultivation and fully comprehend a great Dao, the time required is measured in epochs. A mere 100 million years is not even a fraction of that.
If I could get the great opportunity from Duanmu Old Ghost, then...
A glimmer of greed instantly flashed in the eyes of many Dao Lords.
However, this greedy thought only flashed through his mind and was soon replaced by fear and despair.
The Dao Master of a Hundred Daos and the Dao Masters below a Hundred Daos are two different concepts. Although the City Lord Su is strong, he can never be the opponent of the Dao Master of a Hundred Daos. Even his survival is a big problem.
Otherwise, that old ghost Duanmu would not have been allowed to leave Yuling Fairy City alive.
......
The sky above the city lord's mansion.
Duanmu Kong was condescending, looking down at the world with an attitude of looking down on the world, with an extremely arrogant and almost twisted smile on his face.
He slowly opened his arms, as if to embrace the entire Yuling Immortal City. Then, he shouted at the top of his voice, "Hahahaha... Su Mo, I'm back again. Back then, you dared to seriously injure me and seize my position as City Lord. Today is the day you die!"
The voice was like thunder, carrying endless anger and pride, and it continued to explode above the City Lord's Mansion. Every word seemed to be forged with the flames of hatred and revenge, and was filled with terrifying murderous intent.
"And you, a bunch of ungrateful traitors!" Duanmu Kong's eyes flashed like lightning as he swept over the masters of the various avenues surrounding Yuling Immortal City. A fierce light flickered in his eyes. "How dare you take advantage of my downfall and attack my Duanmu clan? Today, I will make you pay back a hundredfold!"
