Chapter 1265 Life is Like a Game of Chess

Chapter 1265: Chapter 1265: Life is Like a Game of Chess! Chapter 1265: Chapter 1265: Life is Like a Game of Chess! For Tan Zongzhao, Blackie had reasons to trust him, but he also couldn’t fully trust him.

Interest came first, and Tan Zongzhao had taken a liking to Blackie’s talent.

This was the reason.

Hearing that Tan Zongzhao conceded,

an elder in yellow robes appeared in front of the two. This person was one of the elders who had originally brought Blackie here.

The elder in yellow robes looked at Tan Zongzhao, frowned, and asked, “Are you sure you want to concede? Your strength seems sufficient to compete.”

Tan Zongzhao smiled and shook his head, “I am sure I’m conceding. Blackie’s strength is a close match to mine, and yet he is only at the early stages of the Divine Emperor Realm but can burst forth with such power. When he reaches the same level as me, he will surely be unbeatable. His talent is better; he is more suitable to take over the Nine Netherworld Underworld Palace.”

Hearing this, the elder in yellow robes looked puzzled, but since Tan Zongzhao had said as much, he had no choice but to nod and say, “If that’s your wish, then let it be so.”

Above in the sky, a feminine man watching the scene nodded in satisfaction, “This Tan Zongzhao has sharp eyes, indeed a clever person. Even if he can’t become the heir of the Nine Netherworld Underworld Palace in The Mortal Realm, he is worth keeping an eye on.”

The elder beside the man was completely baffled, “Isn’t this a concession?”

How did it relate to having sharp eyes?

At that moment, the elder in yellow said, “Since you have conceded, you should leave the Nine Netherworld Underworld. Outsiders from the Yang Realm shouldn’t stay long in the Underworld.”

Tan Zongzhao nodded, then looked at Blackie and said, “Don’t worry, after I return to the Chaos Realm, I will gather my friends quickly and head towards The Mortal Realm; we will meet there.”

Blackie nodded, then thought for a moment, took out a jade pendant, and handed it to Tan Zongzhao, saying, “When you get there, you can use this jade pendant to find a person named Ye Qiubai. He is my eldest martial brother.”

Tan Zongzhao was taken aback upon hearing this, then he took it, and after disappearing from this realm, he was filled with curiosity. Blackie’s eldest martial brother… what kind of monstrous figure could that be?

After Tan Zongzhao disappeared from the Nine Netherworld Underworld, the elder in yellow robes looked at Blackie and said, “Follow me to meet the proxy.”

Upon hearing this, Blackie followed the elder in yellow robes to a door, and after opening the door, they came upon the inner hall.

There, a very young-looking feminine man stood at the center. There was a stone pillar there, and it seemed there should be something on it, but it was now empty.

The feminine man glanced at the elder in yellow robes.

The elder in yellow robes, sensing an opportunity, smartly walked away, closing the door behind him.

Inside the inner hall, only the feminine man and Blackie were left.

Seeing Blackie’s gaze resting on the stone pillar, the feminine man smiled and said, “You must have seen the River of the Dead water before, haven’t you?”

That yellow river filled with countless aggrieved souls?

Blackie nodded.

The feminine man, touching the stone pillar, said, “It’s been a while, but originally, the spirit of the River of the Dead was stored here on this pillar. At that time, a man in white robes… your master, came to the Nine Netherworld Underworld and borrowed the spirit of the River of the Dead.”

Master?

Blackie was shocked. “My master has been here before?”

“That’s right.” The feminine man nodded and continued, “He borrowed the spirit of the River of the Dead, making us a promise that he would help our Nine Netherworld Underworld find an heir for the lordship, and it seems that person is you.”

Hearing this, Blackie’s eyebrows twitched uncontrollably.

Now he completely understood why the people of the Nine Netherworld Underworld had sought him out instead of any other brothers. So it turned out he had been sold out by his master…

It was no wonder that the master was not worried about himself coming to the Nine Netherworld Underworld Palace.

After all, based on his master’s usual character, in situations like this one, he would definitely opt for safety, not wanting to get involved in any causality, then oppose his visit to the Nine Netherworld Underworld Palace.

It turns out, he had already sold himself to the Nine Netherworld Underworld Palace!

“However, it seems you have other questions besides this one,” the effeminate man instantly noticed what Blackie was thinking.

Blackie nodded, his expression became serious as he asked, “Senior, why is one of my soul fragments at the bottom of the River of the Dead?”

The effeminate man chuckled, “I knew you would ask this question. Although every day, even every breath in the River of the Dead, souls that cannot enter reincarnation are cast into it, I can’t remember every soul, but I do have some clues about your soul fragment.”

Hearing this, Blackie’s breathing became rapid as he immediately asked, “Please enlighten me, Senior!”

“Every person who dies in the Yang Realm has their entire soul enter the Nine Netherworld Underworld Palace, not just a soul fragment, while its owner still lives in the Yang Realm. This situation is also considered an exception.”

Upon hearing this, Blackie guessed, “Was my soul fragment deliberately placed at the bottom of the River of the Dead by someone?”

“You are quite clever,” the effeminate man nodded, his smile gradually fading.

“At that time, a man in white brought this soul fragment here. Initially, I wanted to refuse, but that person had once said that the owner of this soul fragment could become the Netherworld Lord of your Nine Netherworld Underworld Palace.”

“At that time, I also witnessed the unfathomable strength of the man in white,” the effeminate man said solemnly, his face grave as he spoke each word, “Unrivaled in the world, I have lived for so many years, yet I have never seen anyone who could compare to him; thus, I believed him and placed this soul fragment into the River of the Dead.”

Blackie was slightly startled. The same man in white from the Cloud Dream Swamp, from the memory fragment?

“However, since too many years have passed and the owner of this soul fragment had not come, I eventually gave up and told your master to select a successor,” the effeminate man smiled, “But I never expected that you would be the owner of this soul fragment.”

Having heard thus far.

Blackie felt as if his scalp was about to explode, extremely tingling!

Was this a coincidence?

This was clearly not a coincidence!

This was clearly all calculated, even the timing was clearly defined!

What kind of person would have the ability to foresee in such a manner?

It couldn’t possibly be done, right?

At this moment.

Blackie felt as if his limbs were tied to threads, with a giant hand controlling their lives through these threads!

Seeing the worry in Blackie’s heart, the effeminate man patted Blackie’s shoulder and said, “Hasn’t your master taught you not to ponder over things beyond your strength? After all, knowing things beyond your ability can’t help in solving them and might even bring about deadly disasters.”

Blackie nodded.

He needed to tell his master this news quickly.

Cloud Dream Swamp might be a coincidence.

Adding the memory fragment, and what the effeminate man had said, Blackie could determine, this was a scheme that had been long in the making!
