Chapter 321: Heaven and Earth Enigma

After being slapped away by Lianshan Jing, Lianshan Yue didn't know how far she had been slapped. She couldn't see the figure of Lianshan Jing returning to Yanjing city for the rest of the night.

Of course, it's also possible that she came back, but instead of returning to the Floating Island, she went to the cities below.

But this has nothing to do with Lu Heng, and he doesn't care either.

For him, this mischievous and beautiful woman who keeps saying she wants to marry him is simply a trouble.

Everywhere Lu Heng went in the past, everyone regarded him as an ancient monster and either revered him or feared him. Although Lu Heng has always been approachable and humble, people's respect for him is real.

No one has ever dared to love like Lianshan Yue, who declares her love at the first meeting and loves so much…even as a joke, it's too much.

It's so absurd that it's to the point where Lu Heng finds it difficult to handle.

If it's not a joke…that's even more troublesome!

Lu Heng is now somewhat afraid to meet Lianshan Jing's sister, Lianshan Yue, who has a hot figure, beautiful face, delicate skin, and exudes a strong female charm from inside out. After all, he is not very interested in her.

This is not to say that Lu Heng doesn't like women.

In terms of personal preferences, fiery mature women like Lianshan Yue happen to be the type that Lu Heng likes.

However, a good appearance is only for appreciation, not for marrying. Moreover, every time Lianshan Yue causes trouble, his companion Xiao Ai adds to Lu Heng's pressure.

Lu Heng thinks it would be better if Lianshan Yue doesn't appear again.

Therefore, the next morning Lu Heng met with Lianshan Jing and after discussing how to deal with the Lord of All Demons and other evil demons when the Dragon Soul appears in two days, he said goodbye.

After leaving the towering Floating Island and descending on a float boat to the city below, Lianshan Jing found a sufficiently concealed residence for her to prevent Lianshan Yue from coming to find her.

In the following days, the Fire God Temple wizards didn't appear to have made any major personnel arrangements, as if nothing had happened. The entire Yanjing City was calm.

However, in secret, the numerous traps set against the evil demons were being intensively deployed, aiming to complete them before the arrival of the evil demons.

However, in order to prevent any spies or creatures in Yanjing City from catching wind of this, everything was carried out in utmost secrecy.

Among the living beings, there exist righteous cultivators who don't cultivate demonic power but serve the evil demons due to various reasons.

These are the type of people that Lu Heng and his group need to guard against the most.

Only by maintaining a peaceful appearance outside and ensuring the Fire God Temple remains unaware of anything, can the Lord of All Demons and his group come as per the original plan.

In the secluded courtyard, Lu Heng instructed Xiao Ai to take Shen Wuyou and his sister out for a stroll.

For the two siblings who had grown up in the mountains and never been to the outside world, the bustle and prosperity of Yanjing City were greatly attractive, and they had long wanted to go out for a walk.

Nowadays, Lu Heng simply used some tricks to conceal the true appearance of the two siblings, so that outsiders could not recognize them, and then had Xiao Ai accompany them to go out and play.

Meanwhile, Lu Heng sat alone in a quiet courtyard, silently setting up a black and white chess game.

However, both Lu Heng's chess pieces and board were somewhat special.

The chessboard was formed by the condensation and visualization of spiritual energy, hovering in the void, and as the radiance trembled, faintly revealing the distant landscape of mountains and rivers.

The black and white chess pieces were also formed by the condensation of spiritual energy, and every time they were placed, the radiance on the chessboard would tremble violently.

It took Lu Heng a full three hours to set up the chess game, and yet he had only made a few moves.

Meanwhile, there was already a knocking at the courtyard door.

A thin and gaunt ascetic in a coarse linen robe perfunctorily knocked on the door, and then entered without waiting for permission.

He asked, "Is there any alms food for me here? This old ascetic cultivator is hungry."

Lu Heng looked up from the chessboard and gave the old wandering monk a glare, saying, "Isn't the whole point of asceticism to not accept alms from others? You old fellow are not devout!"

Jiu Mie laughed and sat down directly on the other end of the chessboard, saying, "The old ascetic cultivator is very particular about his food. He can't easily digest ordinary food and requires wolf meat that is over a thousand years old. If you can't provide that, don't mention whether the old ascetic cultivator is devout or not."

Saying this, Jiu Mie glanced at the chessboard and probably seeing the game situation clearly, he also reached out his hand and flicked it slightly in the air. A black piece appeared out of nowhere in his hand.

Then, Jiu Mie placed the black piece on the chessboard and said, "Your turn, my friend… Hmm?!"

Jiu Mie's body suddenly trembled after the move, and he finally realized that something was amiss.

].

He immediately lowered his head and looked at the chessboard in front of him, as well as the faintly visible mountains, rivers and the sun and the moon on it, staring dumbfounded.

"There's a problem with your chess game!"

Lu Heng laughed and said, "I've been waiting for my friend to make this crucial move… Hahaha…"

Laughing, Lu Heng's black piece trembled slightly in his hand, and it directly transformed into a white piece as pure as jade, which he then placed on the chessboard.

Pa--

At the moment the white piece fell, a crisp sound echoed continuously in the small courtyard.

The mountains, rivers, sun, and moon on the spiritual chessboard were fully revealed.

The veins that represent the earth's spiritual energy were emerging and trembling, one by one. The small chessboard seemed like a real world, revealing an ancient and vast atmosphere.

At the moment when the chessboard was fully revealed after Lu Heng placed his final white piece, both he and Jiu Mie trembled all over, as if all their energy had been completely depleted, and they suddenly weakened.

Jiu Mie fell softly on the grass and murmured, "A friend who does harm…a friend who does harm!"

"After this move, it will take at least two days to recover!"

Jiu Mie stared at Lu Heng and said, "You cunning old devil, you set me up!"

Lu Heng also slumped on the long bench, laughing brilliantly and saying, "As soon as you entered, my dear friend, you took the initiative to make a move, and I couldn't stop you… Besides, after the formation of the 'Heaven and Earth Go Game,' it can ensure the safety of one side."

"The creatures who escaped the demon's attack on the city two days later, thanks to the formation of the chess game, owe their lives to the compassion of my friend. Even if I had explained the situation, I believe that with the kind heart of my old friend, he would still have made this move."

Lu Heng smiled and gave a high praise.

Jiu Mie, who was slumped on the grass with head barely raised, glared at Lu Heng with annoyance after hearing his words and said, "I can barely have enough food to eat and has been hungry all year round. Where do I have the compassion? Just look at me, do I look like a merciful person to you, my friend?"

Lu Heng smiled and nodded repeatedly, saying, "In Lu Heng's eyes, my friend Jiu Mie is not only the most talented cultivator in the world, but also the most compassionate and kind-hearted person. He is truly the most unique and remarkable 'freak' in the world, worthy of great admiration."

While Lu Heng praised him repeatedly, Jiu Mie sighed heavily and said, "Why do your compliments make me feel so uncomfortable, even though you are saying only good things?"

"Uh…" Lu Heng thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps that's called being ambiguous and contradictory."
