Chapter 1495  Chapter 368: Supreme Chess Game

Li Hao was slightly taken aback, suspecting he had misheard. He initially thought the other party would have put forward other demands, perhaps even asking him to hand over the Emperor Hall’s inheritance or lead them into the Heavenly Calamity Illusion Realm.

But unexpectedly, the other party’s request was to take him as a disciple?

He was somewhat puzzled, gazing at this Supreme Being, finding it hard to fathom the other party.

Simultaneously, he suddenly thought of another scenario.

Since the Heavenly Calamity Immortal Emperor defected back then and the crimes were so severe, why does the Heavenly Calamity Illusion Realm still exist?

If it is said that this Fake Realm is buried in a place where Ancient Demons reside, and they are unwilling to expend effort to go there, that could just barely make sense.

However, after he met Chi Ying, who led Heavenly Palace generals to the Heavenly Calamity Illusion Realm to hunt demons, it was enough evidence that they had the ability to reach the Ancient Demon Battlefield!

It should be noted, Chi Ying is just in the Immortal Monarch Realm, not considered a high-level Realm. With the power of the Heavenly Palace, not to mention dispatching a few top-tier Immortal Monarchs, sending a few Immortal Kings is also a trivial matter!

And in the region surrounding that Heavenly Calamity Illusion Realm, an Immortal King Realm is enough to sweep through.

Moreover, if in the past, one was unaware that it was the Heavenly Calamity Illusion Realm, but after Chi Ying had been there, this situation should have been reported to the Heavenly Palace, yet the Heavenly Palace still did nothing about it.

Such peculiarity, as the saying goes, when something is too unusual, there must be something strange. However, Li Hao held too little information to get more than confused, but he suddenly thought of some other possibilities.

This chain of thought stems from the fact that he himself is a fisherman.

Perhaps, that Heavenly Calamity Illusion Realm, this Supreme Being had long known about it.

Since the Heavenly Calamity Immortal Emperor’s grave sins are now unanimously recognized by them, with solid evidence, the retention of the Heavenly Calamity Illusion Realm becomes quite terrifying upon careful thought.

Perhaps, it is merely a bait.

And that bait is used to lure others.

As the other party said, back then, due to the matter of the Heavenly Calamity Immortal Emperor, many large clans were implicated, and numerous forces were drawn in, ultimately disappearing or being exterminated or exterminated as clans.

But, was it really all cleaned up?

Perhaps not, hence, that Heavenly Calamity Illusion Realm has become a bait.

If those large clans find the Heavenly Calamity Illusion Realm and go there to secretly grow, it might lead to annihilation by the Heavenly Palace…

With these thoughts, Li Hao suddenly broke into a cold sweat down his back.

He is both a fisherman and a chess player. At this moment, he felt more and more like the Heavenly Calamity Illusion Realm is truly a bait, a gigantic bait!

Using a Heavenly Dao Fake Realm as bait and simultaneously as a chess piece.

It is a scheme!

The more Li Hao thought about it, the more he felt this way. It wasn’t his imagination spooking him, but various irregularities and contradictions led to such suspicion.

He himself is also an Eleventh Rank chess player, transcendently entering immortality, possessing the ability to plan layouts and to both foresee and break them.

However, he is currently mired deep in the layout, and this particular layout is vast, prompting feelings that he himself might have become a chess piece!

Since that Heavenly Calamity Illusion Realm is bait, the Supreme just mentioned, Chi Ying reported the situation to the Heavenly Palace, thus this Supreme had long known of their identities.

Yet, the other party never sought him out… Now, with numerous reasons, he came to the Southern Domain’s battle by himself, in front of this Supreme. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novel(ꜰ)ire.net

Everything seems to fall into place naturally, but Li Hao suddenly senses an unseen hand behind the scenes, pushing events forward.

The reason that led him to the battle in the Southern Domain lies with the Great Dream Nine Abyss Sect, but Li Hao believes it wasn’t the Dream Lord’s influence. On the contrary… Li Hao’s gaze swept across, looking towards Emperor Chu.

As the Emperor of the Ancient Immortal Dynasty, could the other party truly not guess his identity?

He had previously shown Qingtian Swordsmanship in the Ancient Immortal Realm, defeating Chu Tianzheng at a time when everyone was watching. Wouldn’t the other party make connections?

Yet, the other party didn’t mention any of this, instead offering his children to marry him, seemingly intending to win him over to the Yan and Chu Royal Family to serve Yan and Chu.

Li Hao considered two possibilities.

One is that Emperor Chu truly was indifferent, with no association to those ancient matters.

The second possibility being deliberate.

But if it’s the second, what’s the reason?

If the other party wanted to kill him, it’s an easy thing.

Or is it that the other party deliberately offers him to the Supreme as a gesture of goodwill?

This possibility seems unlikely, as the Immortal Dynasty Emperor, on the brink of being an Immortal Emperor, needs not to be so subservient and sycophantic.

Li Hao’s eyes flickered, unable to fathom a reason, unless there’s only one possibility left: the other party intentionally sacrifices him to sever ties with the Heavenly Calamity Immortal Emperor.

But, after ten thousand years, is there really a need to be so deliberate?

The deeper Li Hao thought about it, the more he got preoccupied.

“What are you thinking about?”

At this moment, a cold voice sounded. Ming Yue frowned at Li Hao, saying, “My master is speaking to you, didn’t you hear? It’s too rude, standing before you is the Southern Domain Venerable, Emperor of all Immortals and Divines!”

Li Hao snapped back to reality, hearing the other’s words. He looked towards the others, suddenly reading some other meanings from the ambiguous and obscure expressions of these Ancient Immortal Dynasty Emperors — pity? regret?

Li Hao’s heart felt chilled; evidently, these Emperors had long discerned his identity and realized he was caught in the scheme.

Yet previously, he was unaware of being within it, unknowingly a piece himself.

Now, he barely figured out that he is amidst a great scheme, with the Heavenly Palace Venerable and possibly others including Emperor Chu playing in this game.

He took a deep breath and said to the Heavenly Palace Venerable, “These immortal techniques are mighty, why abolish them? The techniques are blameless, just as blades and swords are blameless.”
