This female leader is a little bit stronger

Xie Chengyun followed the black smoke out and was stunned. "She is in the dragon vein?"

……

Seven days ago.

[Ding! A mysterious multicolored light overflows from the treasure box. You get... [Rules]!]

Ning Ye: ???

what?

[rule]?

Isn't it talisman paper?

She just wanted to visit the dragon vein on a whim. When she reached the top of the mountain, she happened to see the sunrise. She saw a rainbow of light and purple air coming from the east. She drew the talisman... She didn't use any strange posture to draw the talisman.

A ball of light appeared in her hand and turned into a chain shape, spreading around her.

The scenery in front of Ning Ye suddenly changed.

In the sky, there is endless nothingness;

There are stars all over the ground under your feet.

She seemed to have suddenly arrived at the farthest outer space, standing at the junction of reality and illusion.

Empty and silent.

Just sit cross-legged.

A shadow appeared directly opposite them, neither male nor female, invisible and intangible. The shadow waved its sleeves, and a chessboard appeared between them.

"Want to play a round?"

The androgynous voice is like that coming from an ancient guqin, distant and ethereal.

Ning Ye bent one leg and supported her chin with her hand.

"No, I don't."

"You play white, go first."

As soon as he finished speaking, a basket of white seeds appeared in front of Ning Ye. Each seed was pure white and flawless, like condensed starlight.

A sunspot appeared in front of the phantom, dark and without light, like a black hole abyss.

Ning Ye grabbed a chess piece unhappily and placed it casually on the chessboard.

The shadow holding the black piece followed closely.

Ning Ye kept making random moves. Just as she said, she didn't know how to play chess and didn't like it.

But despite this, this game of chess lasted for seven days and seven nights, because the phantom was very good at playing chess and could make the chaotic chessboard come alive endlessly.

The white and black pieces on the square chessboard with crisscrossing vertical and horizontal lines are constantly fighting and battling each other, with it being difficult to tell who is the winner.

"Isn't it enough to have trapped me for so long? Why don't you tell me your purpose?"

Ning Ye knew that there would be no problem with his lottery treasure box, but the problem would be with others.

For example, the shadow in front of you.

Ning Ye didn't understand why the rules of this world had found him. Could he show off his power in front of others at will?

The shadow asked an irrelevant question, "Why can black and white chess pieces only fight?"

Ning Ye pinched his chin, "Because... they are placed on the chessboard?"

The pieces on the chessboard are chess pieces, and the pieces outside the chessboard are just colored stones.

In other words, once in the game and bound by the rules, the black and white pieces are given the mission of attacking each other.

Speaking of rules…

"Why can't the righteous and evil paths be tolerated? Is it because of the rules of this place?" Ning Ye asked casually.

"Yes."

“Who makes the rules?”

The shadow seemed to look up and glance ahead.

Ning Ye looked back and saw endless starlight and nothingness behind him.

"Never mind, this question isn't important." She wasn't one to follow the rules and disrupt a chess game. "That's long enough. Can I go now?"

The shadow and the illusion disappeared together.

Ning Ye saw the sunrise again, but it was not the sunrise seven days ago.

That trace of [rule] power remained in her body and did not dissipate, giving her some sense of connection with the world, as if it was telling her something.

When Xie Chengyun climbed to the top of the dragon vein, he saw the red shadow.

She sat alone on the edge of the cliff, facing the rising red sun. The endless sunlight was all sprinkled on her body, giving her a golden outline. At this moment, she did not look like a mortal, but like a god. Her eyes, without any humanity, stared at the world indifferently, and she tapped her hand on the top of the dragon vein, again and again, as if she was stroking a sleeping dragon.

He suddenly didn't dare to get any closer.

Afraid of disturbing the gods.

It wasn't until the girl turned her head and saw him that her humanity returned to her face. She was quite surprised and said, "Xiao Xie, what a coincidence?"

Xie Chengyun quickly hid the half-burned black talisman behind him and coughed, "I heard that the scenery here is beautiful..."

"What's up?"

"...It's urgent!" Xie Chengyun touched his nose, took out the porcelain bottle, and said straight to the point, "Bai Jingze stuffed it into my hands! I guess his real purpose is to use me to pass it to you."

Ning Ye took it, untied the broken hairband on the porcelain bottle, and held it in her hand.

"Inside this is a pill that can greatly improve one's cultivation. It has a very ancient name, the Life-Breaking Pill! The demons may have prepared a lot of such killer weapons to consume the power of the human race on the battlefield..." Xie Chengyun kept talking, with his own guesses and the additions of powerful people.

Ning Ye listened, but her thoughts remained on the headband.

He actually found this hairband...

"Hey, I've said so much, are you listening?"

Xie Chengyun stretched out his hand and waved in front of Ning Ye, feeling that she was in a daze.

Ning Ye's expression remained calm. "I understand, but why are you telling me about such an important matter? Shouldn't you just hand the things over directly to Yuzhu, the Prince Shengping?"

Xie Chengyun curled his lips and said, "You don't know that you haven't returned to the camp. Prince Shengping has been imprisoned for a long time. Now the one leading the war is the Human Emperor, and the Human Emperor doesn't see outsiders, only his confidants!"

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but complain a little more: "The people above are in a mess. I don't know why, but now no one in the Four Sacred Lands likes each other. If they didn't have a common enemy to deal with, they might have fought each other. The reinforcements and the royal army don't fight together, the battlefields are separate... Besides, I'm just a Jindan-stage disciple. Who would believe me if I came up with something like this and shouted about the demon clan's conspiracy? I might even be accused of colluding with the demon clan!"

Ning Ye frowned, "Yuzhu is imprisoned? What's going on?"

"I heard that the emperor was disrespectful... Hey, don't walk so fast, wait for me!"

……

The simple room only had a bed, a chair and a table.

No food or water has been delivered for several days, and the people imprisoned here seem to have been deliberately forgotten.

But Luo Yuzhu knew that she had not been forgotten, otherwise the heavy imperial guards surrounding the outside would not have been patrolling day and night.

"Have a meal!"

Several plates of food were pushed through the window.

Gangzi walked over, smelled it, and kicked it over with his little feet.

"You little bastard again!"

“Just now!”

"Eat it if you want! If you don't, you'll starve to death!"

The person who delivered the food left cursing.

"Just now, just now!" Gangzi stretched his neck and cursed.

Luo Yuzhu sat quietly at the table, fiddling with a formation plate in his hand, taking the formation stones and combining them in the right positions, his eyes focused, completely unaffected by the outside world.

As night fell, darkness enveloped the shabby, unlit room.

A few wisps of black air sneaked in through the cracks in the door and windows, silently moving towards the young man on the bed. As soon as they approached, they were dispersed by a burst of light.

It's quiet at night.

Luo Yuzhu, lying on the bed, opened her eyes, stroked the little white goose beside her, and sighed in her heart, "This is the seventh time..."

This was the seventh assassination attempt he had faced since being imprisoned, and the force that came to kill him was the power of the demons.

The demons have sneaked in!

Unfortunately, no one knew and no one listened to him.
