104: Eight Desolations Endgame, let me try

Ji Yuehua, Second Princess of East Zhou said with a complicated expression, “No need, I lost.”

With Xie Weilou’s poem, no matter what poem she composed, she would be crushed. What’s more, Xie Weilou’s poem seemed to be only half. If half was already so extraordinary, then what about the other half?

If it were revealed, wouldn’t it be even more terrifying?

If she presented her own poem, she would only make a fool of herself, showing off her meager skills before an expert.

“Thank you for the concession!”

Xie Weilou smiled indifferently and returned to his seat.

No matter how talented you are, I have Chu Ci, Han Fu, Tang poetry, Song Ci, and Yuan Qu. How can you compare?

Ji Yuehua, Second Princess of East Zhou looked at Xie Weilou and asked, “Heir of Marquis Zhenxi Manor, this poem of yours is only half. What about the other half?”

Xie Weilou said directly, “I don’t remember it.”

Not remembering means that this poem existed before. I only remembered half and copied half, which means it was copied.

But you can’t catch me, unless you can find the author of this poem.

“…”

Ji Yuehua, Second Princess of East Zhou gave a bitter smile.

The other party said it so bluntly, that it was a copied poem, but she had never heard of this poem before, so she naturally couldn’t accuse the other party of cheating, which was very frustrating.

“Amazing! Princess, I truly didn’t misjudge you. Hurry and swear allegiance to Princess Ruyi.”

Yan Ruyi stared at Xie Weilou with sparkling eyes. Xie Weilou was invited by her, and winning this round would bring her many benefits.

“…”

Xie Weilou yawned and ignored Yan Ruyi.

“Annoying fellow.”

Seeing this, Yan Ruyi couldn’t help but mutter, if she hadn’t invited him here, could he have performed in public?

“It seems the third round was won by Eastern Zhou. Princess Yuehua, what do you plan to compete in for the fourth round?”

The Xia Emperor looked at Ji Yuehua, Second Princess of East Zhou with a smile.

Eastern Zhou had already won two rounds, and now only the last round remained.

Ji Yuehua, Second Princess of East Zhou pondered, “The third round, chess!”

She watched as a woman in a black robe with an ordinary appearance walked out.

The woman walked out and bowed to the Xia Emperor: “State Preceptor Li Guanqi of Eastern Zhou greets the Xia Emperor.”

“State Preceptor Li Guanqi?”

The Xia Emperor gazed at State Preceptor Li Guanqi, a strange look in his eyes, but he couldn’t discern anything amiss.

“This woman is not simple!”

Xie Weilou stared at State Preceptor Li Guanqi. The feeling she gave him was very strange, but he couldn’t figure out why.

Buzz!

State Preceptor Li Guanqi waved her hand, and a chessboard appeared, with black and white pieces forming a Eight Wildernesses Chess Game. She looked at the people of Eastern Zhou: “This is a Eight Wildernesses Chess Game. Today, anyone from Eastern Zhou can come forward to solve it. Whoever can solve this Eight Wildernesses Chess Game will win!”

“…”

Everyone’s hearts tensed. Anyone from Eastern Zhou could come forward to solve the Eight Wildernesses Chess Game? This showed their absolute confidence in this Eight Wildernesses Chess Game!

Some people didn’t hesitate and came forward to observe the chess game, but after only a moment, their eyes narrowed, cold sweat streamed down their bodies, and they quickly retreated.

Xie Weilou stared at the chessboard, his expression a little strange. Isn’t this the Tianyuan chess game?

A piece falling on Tianyuan, looking down on the ba huang, devouring the world, is different from ordinary chess games. This kind of chess game is very difficult to solve.

The Xia Emperor stared at the chessboard, a thoughtful expression on his face: “This is… the Eight Wildernesses Chess Game…”

“The Eight Wildernesses Chess Game? Why haven’t I heard of it?”

“This chess game is extremely extraordinary. I just took a glance, and I felt my blood surging.”

“…”

Many people had extremely solemn expressions. An ordinary chess game could not possess such power. This Eight Wildernesses Chess Game was extremely unusual.

State Preceptor Li Guanqi said directly, “That’s right! This is indeed the Eight Wildernesses Chess Game, which my Eastern Zhou Imperial Advisor obtained by chance. Now that I have brought this chess game to Eastern Zhou, I hope that someone in Eastern Zhou can solve it.”

The Xia Emperor looked at State Preceptor Li Guanqi: “The Eastern Zhou Imperial Advisor Li Guanxuan, only one character separates your names. I’m very curious about your relationship.”

State Preceptor Li Guanqi shook her head and said, “There is no relation.”

The Xia Emperor pondered for a second. He glanced at everyone present: “This is the Eight Wildernesses Chess Game. Anyone interested today can come up and solve it.”

He knew that Eastern Zhou basically couldn’t win this round. The Eight Wildernesses Chess Game was not an ordinary game. Looking at the world, how many people could solve it?

“…”

Everyone looked hesitant. Some people had already seen the chess game, and it was unpredictable and very difficult to solve.

“Alas!”

Yan Junlin looked at a young man beside him. This time, he also invited a master.

“Impossible!”

The young man shook his head. He had just looked at the game, and with just one glance, he knew he couldn’t do it.

Yan Junlin didn’t say much when he heard this. He naturally knew the strength of this person. Since the other party said it was impossible, then it was impossible.

“I’ll give it a try.”

A voice sounded.

Everyone looked over and saw Xiao Ce standing up.

“The Heir of Marquis Zhenxi Manor won a round just now. I wonder if the Heir of Wu’an Marquis Manor can also win a round?”

Everyone showed strange expressions.

The Xia Emperor looked at Xiao Ce and said with a smile, “Xiao Ce, then you give it a try!”

Xiao Ce indeed had some abilities, but he still couldn’t solve this round. Not to mention Xiao Ce, even if some masters from the Saint Institute came forward, this round would still be impossible.

Xiao Ce stepped forward. He stared at the chess game in front of Li Guanxuan. At this moment, he was to play the white pieces. The white pieces were at an extreme disadvantage, hanging by a thread. One wrong move would lead to certain death.

After a moment of thought.

Xiao Ce made a move, and the white pieces gained a breath.

“Lost!”

Xie Weilou muttered to himself.

State Preceptor Li Guanqi took a glance, then casually dropped a chess piece. The situation changed again. The breath that the white pieces had just gained was directly gone, and even the original breath was directly cut off.

“This…”

Xiao Ce’s pupils contracted. He had already deduced six moves, but he didn’t expect to lose with just one move from the opponent.

“Next!”

State Preceptor Li Guanqi said calmly.

Xiao Ce was silent for a second, then bowed to the Xia Emperor: “I cannot solve this chess game.”

The Xia Emperor smiled faintly: “No matter!”

It was normal not to be able to solve it.

“…”

State Preceptor Li Guanqi looked at the people around her.

Yan Ruyi whispered to Xie Weilou, “Do you want to try?”

“Forget it! I don’t know how to play chess, so I’d rather not go up and make a fool of myself. Look at Xiao Ce, he stood up just now with a fierce aura. I thought he was very strong, but he lost after just one move.”

Xie Weilou said with a sigh.

Solving this round was easy for him, but there was no need to always be in the spotlight, otherwise, there would be big trouble.

Xiao Ce happened to hear Xie Weilou’s words, and his face was somewhat gloomy. Xie Weilou loved to expose people’s weaknesses; he was truly detestable!

After waiting for a while.

Still, no one came forward.

The Xia Emperor shook his head and said, “The fourth round, Eastern Zhou wins. Let’s start the fifth round directly! This round should be a martial arts competition.”

Now both sides had won two rounds each, and this last round was crucial.

Ji Yuehua, Second Princess of East Zhou gently waved her hand, and a young man in a blue robe holding a long sword walked out.

The young man bowed to the Xia Emperor and said, “For the final round, a martial arts competition. Any young person present from Eastern Zhou can come forward and contend with me.”

Everyone assessed the young man. The sword qi on him was very dense, as if he were a natural divine sword, extremely unique.

Baili Changqing looked at Lin Qinghuang: “Lin Qinghuang, you take this round.”

“Yes, sir!”

Lin Qinghuang rose and bowed to the Xia Emperor.

“Hmm! Then you two can spar.”

The Xia Emperor nodded gently.

Buzz!

The old eunuch beside the Xia Emperor made a move, and a force sealed the entire hall.

“Please!”

The young man looked at Lin Qinghuang.

Clang!

Lin Qinghuang instantly drew her sword, and a powerful sword qi erupted, directly pressing towards the young man.

Whoosh!

The young man also quickly drew his sword.

Boom!

The two immediately began to fight…
