Chapter 436: 0355: Reviving a Dead Situation, Excessive Bullying (Guaranteed Update, Seeking Monthly Ticket)

"Take your seats!"?

"This..."

Upon hearing Jiang Dali’s invitation, delivered with a smile, the crowd exchanged glances in confusion.

Duan Yanqing, who had been seated, now stood up with the help of his cane.

He had already failed to solve the chess challenge and felt grateful for Jiang Dali’s previous lifesaving smile and admitted that he was no match for Jiang Dali.

Duan Yu did want to oppose Jiang Dali, to vent the frustration in his heart.

However, he had been the first to attempt and fail at solving the Jinglong Chess, and thus had no reason to step forward again, only glaring at Jiang Dali to express his dissatisfaction.

Jiumozhi had wanted to try as well, but the memory of his past defeat at Black Wind Village by Jiang Dali was fresh, and now his opponent had easily defeated the Star Sect Old Monster, radiating an intimidating fierceness.

Even though Jiumozhi was very arrogant, he too felt anxious and dared not step forward.

As for Shaolin Xuan Nan and Xuzhu, who had temporarily lost their martial power, wisely remained silent.

Left Hand Blade Feng Han and Cangling Master both frowned, their eyes flickering uncertainly.

Thus, after Jiang Dali’s subtly coercive words, the scene unexpectedly became quiet and respectful, and no one dared to step forward.

Su Xinghe, seeing this, was stunned and inwardly complained, "What should we do now? It’s easy to invite a deity but hard to send one away. It seems that Master Jiang insists on meeting the grandmaster, but this, this is against the rules..."

If it were anyone else disrupting the event, Su Xinghe might have risked his life to contend with them.

But the disruptor now was Jiang Dali, whom he had asked to come and assist.

And since the other party had already avenged him and his master, what Jiang Dali asked was reasonable and Su Xinghe felt it improper to make a scene.

"What now?"

Jiang Dali raised his eyebrows, seeing no one step forward to play chess, laughed heartily, "What is this modesty I see? Or is there no one left to challenge the Jinglong Chess?

If that’s the case, time waits for no one, and I will not hesitate any longer.

This Jinglong Chess, I’ve indeed played it before and luckily, through brute force, managed to solve it. Today, I do not wish to play personally, so I’ll pick someone to play on my behalf."

With that, Jiang Dali casually pointed to Xuzhu and called out, "Come, you ugly little monk, hurry up and play the game for me."

Startled by his command, Xuzhu gaped, his eyes wide, and pointed to his nose incredulously, "Me... me...?"

"Nonsense!"

Jiang Dali glared, "Who else looks as ugly as you here? Hurry up and take a seat to play!"

At this, Xuzhu panicked, waving his hands as he stepped back, "No no, it won’t work, I’m terrible at chess, I can’t play this game, please find someone more capable, village chief?"

"Master Jiang, this... puts me in a difficult position."

Su Xinghe couldn’t help but look at Jiang Dali, feeling displeased, and eventually showed a troubled expression, "The grandmaster set up this game, inviting all skilled players to solve it.

If they can’t solve it, it’s fine, and if there are consequences, that’s their responsibility.

But to disrespect my grandmaster’s lifelong dedication... I absolutely cannot agree, village chief..."

"Hmm?"

Jiang Dali’s eyebrows furrowed as he looked at Su Xinghe, "Could it be that Su Sect Leader looks down on Shaolin’s high ranking monks? This little monk might seem ugly, but in my view, he is someone with great Qi Fortune. I believe he can do it, why not give me the benefit of the doubt and let him try?"

"Qi Fortune?"

Su Xinghe was momentarily taken aback and wondered, "I didn’t expect you, village chief, to also practice divination?"

Being versed in many miscellaneous subjects, including astrology, Qi Fortune, and divination, Su Xinghe was quite familiar with these theories.

Now as Jiang Dali spoke in this manner, he couldn’t help but take another look at Xuzhu. Seeing his unattractive appearance, Su Xinghe was somewhat skeptical.

Xuzhu, looking lost and overwhelmed, turned to look at Master Xuan Nan.

At that moment, even Xuan Nan hadn’t expected the intimidating Black Wind Village Chief to pick Xuzhu.

Facing Xuzhu’s gaze, he did not dare to provoke the chief and promptly said with a smile,

"Xuzhu, since Master Jiang values you so highly, why not go ahead and give it a try?"

At those words, Xuzhu reluctantly braced himself and replied, "Oh," before turning to look at Jiang Dali again. He dared not meet his gaze and shuffled nervously to the chessboard.

Seeing this, Jiang Dali’s face showed a satisfied smile.

This Jinglong Chess had been solved by Xuzhu in a previous life.

Although he knew Xuzhu had solved it by fluke, he had no idea how the fluke had happened.

After Xuzhu had accidentally solved the puzzle, he did not know how to continue playing.

It was only after breaking the deadlock that Duan Yanqing, an excellent chess player, noticed clues and discreetly guided him, eventually solving the Jinglong Chess.

Thus, at this moment,

Jiang Dali still insisted on having Xuzhu try to solve the puzzle.

If Xuzhu could again accidentally create an opening in the chess game as he had in the previous life, Jiang Dali’s goal would be achieved.

Next, he would ask Xuzhu to step down and replace him with a player who had already arrived to continue the game, allowing Duan Yanqing to secretly give directions.

Thus, he could usurp Xuzhu’s opportunity, supporting his subordinate Players to inherit Wuya Zi’s mantle.

If this plan succeeded, some plans could be changed.

He could directly control the Jinglong Chess through manipulation and indirectly take control of the Carefree Sect and Lingjiu Palace, pushing Tyrant Hall’s Feng Ying aside.

And if Mian could still receive Wuya Zi’s power transmission, he certainly wouldn’t let the Players’ strength reach such a terrifying level prematurely; he would intervene and absorb most of it to enhance his own body.

However, this method was just a spur of the moment idea.

Whether it could be successfully implemented or not still depended on whether Xuzhu could, like in his previous life, inadvertently turn a losing game into a winning one.

The surrounding experts saw that Su Xinghe had agreed, and Xuzhu had already foolishly stepped forward, so they felt it was inappropriate to say anything further.

Aside from Left Hand Blade Feng Han and Cangling Master getting increasingly impatient, the others, including the greenhorn Duan Yu, were still harboring resentment, contemplating how to use the Six Meridian Divine Sword later to challenge Black Wind Village Chief on behalf of his father.

At that moment, Xuzhu foolishly stepped forward and took a white piece from the chess box.

As he picked up the piece, he thought of how all these experts had been hopelessly caught in the chess game before, and, thinking of Black Wind Village Chief’s coercion, he thought to himself, "Since you say I carry Qi Fortune, I’ll just play recklessly, to show you that I’m just an average monk."

Nervous, he closed his eyes and casually placed the piece on the chessboard.

This scene took everyone by surprise.

Su Xinghe, who had been eagerly anticipating his move, was infuriated and scolded with his beard bristling, "Ridiculous, you act on a whim, killing your own piece. Who plays chess like this?"

Hearing this, Xuzhu opened his eyes and saw where he had placed his piece, feeling both relieved and mocking himself.

How could he consider himself a man of Qi Fortune?

The chess piece he had placed blindly, turned out to be in the midst of a cluster of white pieces completely encircled by black pieces.

This large group of white pieces still had a chance to maneuver, but now he had essentially eliminated his own piece, as good as committing suicide.

If this white piece was captured and killed, his own side would undoubtedly be utterly defeated.

If this is what it meant to have Qi Fortune, perhaps it was more of misfortune?

Seeing this, the others around him snickered and huffed dismissively, their glances occasionally shifting towards Jiang Dali, as if they would mock him openly if not for consideration of his power.

Xuzhu turned around, steeling himself, and clasped his hands in a bow toward Jiang Dali, "Amitabha Buddha, Jiang Village Chief, it seems I truly do not possess Qi Fortune. This casually placed piece has already led to a complete loss, dishonoring the trust you placed in me."

"Hahaha..."

Jiang Dali, however, looking at the doomed white piece, laughed heartily, clapping his hands and making a "clap, clap" sound, "That’s exactly how to play, just like that piece! Who said you’ve lost? In my eyes, this game has just begun! If you won’t make a move, I’ll find someone else to come and break this game."

This statement enraged not only Su Xinghe but also Cangling Master and others like Feng Han who were waiting nearby.

Su Xinghe suppressed his anger and said in a low tone, "Village Chief, this game is already dead; how can it be revived?

I have great respect for you, but this Jinglong Chess Game is my teacher’s lifelong dedication, not to be desecrated by anyone!

Please refrain from forcing me to act!!"

"That’s right, Black Wind Village Chief, we initially agreed to let you choose this foolish monk to play first, not to tolerate your nonsensical interference here. Isn’t this forcing people to do things?"

At this moment, Cangling Master also stood up angrily, his eyes glaring fiercely at Jiang Dali, and then turned to Feng Han and others, saying, "Do you all wish to see the Black Wind Village Chief mess things up? We’ve been waiting here too long; if the game is disrupted and we haven’t even made a single move, won’t the whole world laugh at us?"

Though somewhat apprehensive of Jiang Dali’s power, he saw the discontent among those nearby, especially the eager Feng Han and Duan Yu.

Seizing the moment—powered by anger and pulling in those nearby—he aimed to unite everyone to pressure Jiang Dali to desist from causing further chaos.

"Me causing chaos?"

Jiang Dali snorted coldly, his gaze sternly fixed on Cangling Master in his red kasaya, "You foreign monk should’ve stayed in the Western Regions instead of coming here to stir up trouble. Be careful not to lose your life here.

In my view, this chess game is now alive. If you can’t see it, it’s because you lack vision. How can you say I am causing chaos?"

After this, Jiang Dali stared pointedly at Su Xinghe, "I’ll pick someone else to break this game and show you."

"You’re pushing it too far—everyone attack together!"

Before Su Xinghe could even express his anger, Cangling Master, unable to bear it any longer, suddenly charged at Jiang Dali with a roar, leaping forward like the wind and thrusting a palm forward, immediately creating a turbulent airflow, like a fierce flood hitting Jiang Dali.

"Senseless!"

Jiang Dali snorted coldly without much ado. His hand, like smashing bricks and splitting tablets, forcefully struck out a palm, with the newly absorbed power of Ding Chunqiu surging from his right arm.

Boom!

A wave of energy violently spun into a vortex as his palm fiercely pierced through the Splitting Air Palm Force of Cangling Master, swiftly moving his body, his palm enlarging like a winnowing basket, striking down at Cangling Master’s head.

"Ah Da!"

Cangling Master screamed, his right palm suddenly extending forward, striking one palm in each of the four directions, each move so swift it was nearly invisible.

The surrounding elites could see his palm striking along with his body, but few noticed that in that single thrust, he had already launched four strikes from four different directions.

Jiumozhi and others like Feng Han and Duan Yu clearly saw and internally applauded, with Jiumozhi’s eyes even rolling, contemplating jumping into the fray simultaneously...
