Chapter 1234

"Elder Yu, judging from the power of the explosion, it doesn't seem to be an ordinary spirit beast. Did something happen to your sect?" Luo Yuanshan asked with a frown.

As soon as the words left his mouth, everyone focused their attention on the pudgy elder.

"Everyone, please don't make any wild guesses. It's just some spirit beasts that escaped. They have their own special abilities and are not easy to capture. There's no need to make a fuss. Just wait here patiently." Elder Yu said sternly.

"Elder Yu, if something happened, I hope you can tell us the truth. Perhaps we can lend a hand?" Zhou Xianyang asked with a slight frown.

"What a joke, since when does my Nine Yuan Temple need help from outsiders?" Elder Yu glared at him.

"A slip of the tongue, a slip of the tongue.

Elder Yu, since the Bodhi Token has been given, it's useless for us to stay here. Why don't you let us return to our respective sects so that we won't cause trouble for your sect? "Zhou Xianyang quickly apologized.

As soon as his words fell, the entire Nine Yuan Temple shook violently once again. The power of the explosion was even stronger than before. Visible cracks appeared on the wooden pillars in the hall. If it wasn't for the layer of restriction, it would have collapsed by now.

Upon seeing this, Immortal Envoy Feng Tian could not help but frown slightly as if she was a little displeased. She rose to her feet and asked, "What's going on with your Nine Origin Temple? It's only a spirit beast that escaped, yet you still can't suppress it after so long?"

The pudgy elder did not dare to answer the Immortal Envoy's question half-heartedly. After a slight hesitation, he cupped his fists and answered honestly, "Immortal Envoy, the chaos on Mt. Spirit Beast was only the beginning. Since then, there has been chaos everywhere in the Nine Yuan Temple. It's not too big of a commotion, but there are a lot of things happening, which is why it's so chaotic."

"Where's Chun Jun Spiritual Master?

Where is he now? "Immortal Envoy Feng Tian asked.

"The chief is worried that something might happen at the Ancestral Hall. He's staying there for now and will return once the chaos is over." Elder Yu quickly explained.

The crowd broke out into chaos again after hearing this. They all begged Elder Yu to open the restriction so that they could leave.

"Don't try to cause trouble. It's better for you to wait here peacefully." Elder Yu turned to the crowd and reprimanded them with a dark expression.

Seeing this, Zhou Xianyang and the others fell silent, not daring to speak again.

"The Nine Yuan Temple sure is arrogant. In the end, these people have obtained the Bodhi Token and are qualified to attend the Bodhi Banquet in our Central Plains Immortal Domain. Elder Yu, what are you trying to do?" Feng Tian narrowed her eyes and said coldly.

"I dare not …" Elder Yu hurriedly apologized.

"Please don't be impatient, Immortal Envoy. Since Fellow Daoist Chunjun has personally come, there's no need to worry.

I heard that the Immortal Envoy likes to play chess. Come, come, come. Why don't you compete with this lousy chess player? "

At this time, the lethargic Venerable Heavenly Star stood up and helped Elder Yu out of his predicament.

"I don't think this Elder Yu did it on purpose. However, the Nine Yuan Temple is in chaos. It is indeed not a good time for the others to leave," Lu Chuanfeng said as he stood up.

Celestial Envoy Feng Tian naturally understood what he meant, so she sat back down.

Celestial Venerable Heavenly Star sat opposite her. With a wave of his sleeves, a blue jade chess board appeared on the table between them. Two jars, one black and one white, appeared beside them too.

Celestial Envoy Feng Tian was initially not interested in the game, but her eyes flickered with confusion when she saw the items on the table. She opened the black jar in front of her, revealing a faint purple glow.

The chess pieces in the jar were all shrouded in purple light, and their surfaces reflected a bright luster. They looked like stars in the night sky, and they even emitted waves of Star Energy, looking extremely resplendent.

"Is this the legendary chess set, the 'Falling Star River'?" Celestial Envoy Feng Tian's eyes flickered as she blurted out.

"Immortal Envoy, you have a good eye. If you and I win the game, I'll give this chess set to you as a bonus. How about it?" Celestial Venerable Heavenly Star said with a smile.

"HAHA, it's rare for Celestial Venerable Heavenly Star to have such an interest. I'll entertain you," Celestial Envoy Feng Tian said with a smile.

Celestial Envoy Feng Tian immediately took up a stance to play against Celestial Venerable Heavenly Star and ignored the people of the twelve sects.

After the commotion, no one else dared to say anything. They could only wait for the commotion to end.

Huo Yuan glanced at the crowd and began to discuss the secrets of the Golden Origin Immortal Realm with Lu Chuanfeng. However, the two of them were already separated by a secret technique, so no one could pry into their conversation.

After everyone fell silent, the hall fell silent once again. Only the crisp sound of chess pieces being placed on the chessboard could be heard from Celestial Envoy Feng Tian and Celestial Venerable Heavenly Star from time to time.

Pa!

Celestial Envoy Feng Tian held a glittering chess piece in her hands and placed it on the chessboard with a smile on her face.

"Celestial Venerable, are you trying to give me a gift? Otherwise, why would you keep losing and hand over the chessboard to me?" Celestial Envoy Feng Tian looked at Celestial Venerable Heavenly Star and said with a smile.

"Celestial Envoy, you must be joking. In terms of chess, I'm obviously no match for you.

However, Celestial Envoy should know that this chessboard is also a formation board. Once a chess piece is placed, there's no turning back. It's not necessarily a game of chess, "Celestial Venerable Heavenly Star replied with a smile.

"What do you mean, Celestial Envoy?" Celestial Envoy Feng Tian asked with a puzzled expression.

"Celestial Envoy, it's my turn." Celestial Venerable Heavenly Star didn't answer the question.

With that, he picked up a white chess piece and placed it on the center of the chessboard.

Following the sound of a chess piece being placed, the jade chessboard lit up with a purple radiance without any warning.

An extremely violent force of stars suddenly erupted from the chessboard and turned into a violent shockwave that swept out in all directions. All the tables and chairs in its wake were reduced to dust.

Huo Yuan and Lu Chuanfeng were also affected by the shockwave and retreated a hundred feet away.

They discovered that the table on which the chessboard had been placed had already been pulverized, and the jade chessboard had also disappeared. Only an azure chessboard with a radius of over 100 feet was left on the ground.

The 19 lines engraved on the chessboard transformed into streaks of white light that were as thick as a human's thumb. The streaks of light wound around Celestial Envoy Feng Tian's body and bound her tightly to the chessboard on the ground.

The white chess pieces that had been placed on the chessboard had formed a complex starlight formation. Purple starlight revolved around the formation, and bursts of powerful star fluctuations were emanating from within.

At the same time, Celestial Venerable Heavenly Star put his hands together before him with a smile on his face.

"I have something important to do today, so I'll have to borrow your head."

Celestial Venerable Heavenly Star let loose a thunderous roar as he abruptly thrust his hands forward.

All of the white chess pieces on the ground immediately lit up with dazzling light before transforming into several tens of starlight wyrms that were as thick as an infant's arm. The wyrms then charged toward several tens of vital acupoints around Celestial Envoy Feng Tian's body in a flash.

Everything seemed to take a long time, but it actually happened in the blink of an eye.

Celestial Envoy Feng Tian could not react in time at all. She could only rely on her instincts to activate the power of laws in her body and form a layer of faint blue water armor around her.

When Han Li's gaze fell onto the water armor, he discovered a trace of abnormality. It was filled with water vapor and ripples of water. Although it appeared to be only the size of a magic robe, the water attribute power it contained seemed to be as vast as an ocean.

"Celestial Venerable Heavenly Star, are you crazy?" Huo Yuan yelled when he saw this.

His figure flickered and he wanted to stop her, but it was already too late.

Several tens of starlight wyrms charged into Celestial Envoy Feng Tian's water armor, instantly stirring up a huge wave.

Mist rose from the water armor, creating a spectacular scene.

The wyrms did not feel as carefree as dragons swimming in the ocean at all. Instead, they were obstructed and their momentum was greatly weakened.

Mountain Lord of Hundred Creation Huo Yuan had already caught up. Lu Chuanfeng followed closely behind him.

"Sir Celestial Envoy, you're much more capable than I expected. What a pity …" Celestial Venerable Heavenly Star could only say regretfully.

As soon as his voice fell, his hands suddenly changed the gesture, and his figure immediately retreated.

Following that, the dozens of starlight wyrms swimming in Celestial Envoy Feng Tian's water armor shone brightly and lit up a dazzling white light.

Within the light, faint purple starlight could be vaguely seen, directly exploding, releasing an incomparably terrifying Star Power.

"Rumble!" A loud explosion was heard!

An extremely powerful Star Power exploded from Celestial Envoy Feng Tian's body. It directly turned into a white light vortex that connected the sky and suddenly expanded in all directions.

"Huhuhu …"

Accompanied by the whistling sound of wind, the Star Power in the void stirred and tore the void within a radius of 300 meters apart.

However, the strange thing was that the power did not disperse. It only kept crushing and tearing the space around Celestial Envoy Feng Tian, but it did not continue to spread to other places.

On the top of the vortex, the restriction formation was directly torn open and a big hole was opened on the roof of the Jiuyuan Pavilion.

Celestial Venerable Heavenly Star escaped through the hole. His figure turned into a rainbow light and shot far away as if he was flying.

Huo Yuan's eyes were burning with anger. He glanced at the blurry figure in the white vortex and turned around to shout at Lu Chuanfeng who was catching up.

"Palace Master Lu, take care of the Celestial Envoy. I'll go after Celestial Star."

As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his hand and an evergreen purple flying shuttle of 100 meters appeared in the void.

He leaped and landed on it. The runes around the flying shuttle shone brightly and flickered with green and purple light. In a flash, it disappeared from the sky.

Lu Chuanfeng, who had already jumped over the roof, could only frown and come back.

At this time, although the rest of the people in the hall were not affected, they all distanced themselves from the white vortex like frightened birds and retreated to a corner of the hall.

They could not react to what just happened and could not believe what they saw.

Just now, Celestial Venerable Heavenly Star of the Life Alliance suddenly assassinated the Celestial Envoy of the Heavenly Court?
