Senior Sister Bai Yueguang is incredibly strong.

Chapter 103 Travels (7)

"This is an array formed by water."

Xie Jing looked around but couldn't find anyone.

Where will they go?

The sect leader of Linghai Sect had never been so tired in his life. He had to repair the formation and kill demons. He barely managed to escape.

Xie Jing frowned, a bad feeling creeping over him.

"This sword energy is in water."

Xie Jing looked in the direction of the trail left by the Rainbow Sword, and his brows suddenly relaxed.

"Alright, it's nothing. Let's go back first." Xie Jing pulled the Linghai Sect Master onto his sword. "Our senior brothers should be here soon. Let's talk to them first."

"Oh? Everything's alright now? Where are your apprentices?"

Before the Linghai Sect Master could react, Xie Jing dragged him back.

……

“I said, Master, if you want to play chess with me, you should at least pick a time.”

Luo Zai Shui was speechless, and Ji Ting Han looked completely bewildered.

Who is this old man blocking the way? His grandmaster? This guy with the air of a charlatan is their grandmaster?

So what he just did...

Oh no, this is a huge disrespect to our master!

Luo Zai Shui, on the other hand, seemed indifferent and sat down opposite his master.

Just now, she and Ji Tinghan were flying in the sky when they were pulled down by a gust of wind.

Yes, that's right. They were pulled down, and the two of them were almost smashed to pieces. Naturally, Luo Zai Shui didn't have a good expression on his face.

What's more, this old man dragged them down just to play a game of chess. Luo Zai Shui was inexplicably furious, but he had to hold back. This was his grandmaster, and it would be extremely disrespectful to lay a hand on his grandmaster.

"Grandmaster, what brings you here?"

Luo Zai Shui was too lazy to waste words with him: "Just tell me what you need, and I will take care of it."

The grandmaster stroked his white beard, which gave him a somewhat ethereal air: "It wasn't me who came to find you, it was Changhong who brought you in. I never expected that it would actually recognize you as its master."

“I encountered Changhong when I entered the Treasure Pavilion, but unfortunately it was a broken sword and the scabbard was missing.” Luo Zai Shui was puzzled. “I know this sword belongs to my master, but why is the scabbard missing?”

The grandmaster didn't keep him in suspense. He waved his hand and said, "Changhong has been with me for many years. After that great battle, the Changhong sword broke. I tried many methods but couldn't repair it. I could only hide it in the treasure pavilion. Later, I died. Fearing that the demons would attack again, I brought the Changhong sword sheath and a wisp of my soul here to suppress them. I never expected that even though the sword was broken, it still had some spirituality. It recognized you as its master and even found its way here."

"Where is the Rainbow Sword?"

Although both of Changhong Sword's former owners talked about it, the sword itself never appeared.

"That's when you'll need to get involved yourself."

The grandmaster made a gesture of invitation, and the unfinished game on the table seemed to have changed slightly since the last time she saw it.

Luo Zai Shui briefly considered the situation in his mind: "Master, please."

Unexpectedly, the grandmaster smiled and shook his head: "This time, I am not playing chess with you."

Who is that?

Luo Zai Shui was somewhat curious.

"Demon Lord."

The old man wasn't afraid of scaring the younger generation, and told them directly.

Luo Zai Shui scoffed, "Grandmaster, please don't make fun of us. We don't even have the qualifications to meet the Demon Lord, so how could we possibly compete with him?"

"Tsk, why don't you believe me, little girl?" The grandmaster placed a black chess piece in her palm. "A wisp of the Demon Lord's remnant soul is hidden in this chess game. If he breaks through the formation and escapes, the world will surely be in chaos. Now he is trying to break the formation while I am weak. The scabbard of the Rainbow Sword is barely able to hold it down. With the Rainbow Sword holding it down, we can hold it off for a while. Right now, someone needs to enter the game to suppress him."

Luo Zai Shui toyed with the chess pieces in his hand, and said casually, "Why doesn't Grandmaster go himself?"

The grandmaster didn't hide anything and shook his head: "It's not that I don't want to go, but I can't hold on for much longer. I have to keep this battle going. I can't disappear before the Demon Lord is suppressed again. I originally wanted to call your master, but I didn't expect you to come with the Rainbow Sword. You are his disciple and the master chosen by the Rainbow Sword, so I naturally trust you."

"Grandmaster, how much longer can you hold on?"

The black chess pieces rolled between Luo Zai Shui's fingers, and countless plans swirled in her mind.

"I can hold out for as long as you need, so go ahead. If you think you can't handle it, call your master."

The grandmaster is quite carefree, but this poor grand-disciple's brain is practically spinning.

"The demons are currently launching a massive attack, and my master may not be able to spare the time."

Luo stopped what he was doing and focused on the chess game in front of him.

"If you don't kill the Demon Lord's remnant soul and severely damage his vitality, you will suffer endless troubles in the future."

"Does Grandmaster think I can kill him?"

The grandmaster smiled and stroked his beard: "That's natural."

"it is good."

Luo Zai Shui placed the chess piece in the center, raised an eyebrow, and quickly entered a meditative state.

"Senior Sister!"

Before Ji Tinghan could even interject, his master silenced him, saying, "Be quiet and don't disturb her."

"Ugh—ugh—"

Ji Tinghan was extremely anxious, but he couldn't utter a sound.

"Little kid, it's not easy for a human-demon hybrid to survive in the cultivation world. A slight misstep can lead you astray."

Ji Tinghan fell silent instantly, his blood ran cold, and his gaze toward his grandmaster turned fierce and sinister.

"He really is a wolf cub." The grandmaster picked up a white piece and placed it on the chessboard. "Don't worry, even if your senior sister and the others find out, they won't harm you. I just wanted to give you a heads-up."

Ji Tinghan's expression was clearly seen by his grandmaster.

"This world does not allow the existence of demons. You may not have done anything wrong, but this world will use your bloodline as a pretext. You have hidden too much, so be careful to bring disaster upon yourself."

"What's the meaning?"

It is unknown when the Grandmaster lifted Ji Tinghan's silencing order. Compared to his own misfortune, he was more worried about others being implicated.

“You’re not stupid, kid. You know that if someone says that Xianyun Peak is hiding a demon, Xianyun Peak will definitely be in big trouble, and the source of the trouble is you.”

The grandmaster nodded to him, then focused on the chess game again.

Ji Tinghan wasn't stupid; he recognized that his very existence was a potential threat. "Then I'll leave Xianyun Peak."

Will leaving solve the problem?

The grandmaster countered with a question.

"No." Ji Tinghan swallowed hard, feeling nervous for the first time.

Leaving won't solve the problem. If his identity is discovered one day, he will still be exploited by those with ulterior motives, causing great disaster for Xianyun Peak.

"Then what does Grandmaster mean?"

Ji Tinghan humbly sought guidance, knowing that since the senior had pointed out this issue, there must be some instruction to offer.

The grandmaster placed a black piece on the board and pointed to the board: "Right now, everyone is a piece. Why not step out and see which move to make?"

Ji Tinghan stepped forward. His senior sister had already entered a meditative state, and the chess game had changed slightly. "This disciple is dull-witted and begs for guidance from my master."

The grandmaster smiled and pointed to the move Luo made in the water: "Your senior sister has already jumped out. Why don't you wait for him to come back and ask her again? You're a deep-thinking kid. If you don't pour out those things, they'll crush you."
