Chapter 1972: Conflict, Simmering Tensions
There was a light wind and drizzling rain and a refreshing smell of grass and trees in the air.
The old monk’s robe was damp from the rain, but he was completely unaware because his focus was solely on the chessboard in front of him.
The person playing against him was a man wearing a lotus flower hat and a black robe. He looked rather young like a teenager, but his eyes seemed to have seen all the ups and downs of life.
“From the Ancient Nebula Underworld, both our Earth Treasury Realm and Holy Illumination Ancient Sect are taking part in this game, but we have not seen any movement from the Copper Sparrow House. Don’t you find that strange?” The young man in black robe twirled a white chess piece in his hand.
“It’s not that strange.”
The old monk said aloud, “No movement is the biggest movement. This game involves an incredible chaos treasure. Given Copper Sparrow House’s usual style, they definitely will not stay out of it.”
The black-robed young man smiled. “I think so too.”
After a long period of silence, the old monk suddenly spoke, “It is now certain that Jin Duyi is a chess piece planted by Fangchun Mountain. Fellow Daoist, do you think those wandering souls scattered in various places will have the courage to show up this time?”
The black-robed young man was taken aback for a moment, then he smiled and said, “Fellow Daoist, you are wrong. Jin Duyi is a disciple of the Absolute Origin Dao Court. His identity has been confirmed by Qingye.”
