Facing Zhou Xuan's bold words, Mo Ya Monk stared at him intently.

The monk racked his brains but couldn't figure out why Zhou Xuan would make a move at the Heavenly Yuan spot, using the live energy from the chessboard to empower the God Traveling Department.

What's inside the God Traveling Department?

A large number of You Shen have already gathered in the Gangfeng Cave, aside from the Ancient Tree Golden Bell, what else is there?

To say it is wide open is no exaggeration.

As for using the live energy to empower the "Ancient Tree Golden Bell," that's also impossible.

The Holy Buddha Chessboard requires special formation for blessing "Ancestor Tree, Ancestor Dragon, Ancient Altar," and even the existence above the nine incense sticks.

He could only empower the Treasure Tree Heavenly King with the "Shell Leaf Chess Formation," but Zhou Xuan's two white stones, one at the edge to set the game in motion, and one at Heavenly Yuan, are too far apart to form a special formation.

In Mo Ya Monk's eyes, Zhou Xuan's move was a waste, so where did his confidence to speak such bold words come from?

"Mr. Zhou, stop playing riddles, you're just trying to scare this little monk."

Even so, while saying this, Mo Ya Monk couldn't even bother to watch as the Treasure Tree Heavenly King was swept up by the Sighing Mother Wall and then crushed by the massive Mother Wall, his gaze only stayed on Zhou Xuan.

Zhou Xuan said, "By observing within the chessboard, I realized that by placing a stone at Heavenly Yuan, the live energy generated by the white stone can resonate with the bell and then, using the bell as a throat, convey the words I wish to speak."

"And then?"

"Listen, the bell has already begun to ring."

Dong! Dong! Dong!

The deep, resonant bell sound, infused with live energy, spread powerfully. Despite the distance to the Li Yuan Building, the warning bell was heard clearly even in the Gangfeng Cave.

Zhou Xuan placed his hand on the white stone at Heavenly Yuan, injecting his thoughts. Through the bell as a medium, his thoughts spread across Mingjiang Prefecture.

"Listen well, evil people of the Zoroastrian Fire Order, I don't know much about your sect, but I know two things: first, you want to establish your own Heavenly God; second, you want to prevent the Kongming Mirror from spreading in Jing Country."

"These two things are equally important to you. If you continue to slaughter innocents in Mingjiang Prefecture today, I can, in a single day, ensure that all Hall Disciples in the other eight prefectures of Jing Country will master the Mirror Awakening Technique."

Upon hearing these words, naturally, Mo Ya Monk was the first to be astonished. He never expected that while peacefully playing chess, Zhou Xuan's efforts were all used outside of the game.

"You're using the Kongming Mirror Technique to threaten the Zoroastrian Fire Order?"

Even the deeply Buddha-natured Mo Ya Monk found himself twitching at the lips, desiring to chide Zhou Xuan once more.

Apart from Mo Ya Monk, the people in the Gangfeng Cave were invigorated by Zhou Xuan's sudden "threat declaration against the Zoroastrian Fire Order."

Others may not know, but the Painter and Lady Hong Guan understood that Zhou Xuan, to prevent the Zoroastrian Fire Order from wreaking havoc in Mingjiang Prefecture, had conceived a "weapon" to restrain them—the Buddha Country Main Brain.

He recorded the scene when Peng Sheng pointed out the Mirror Awakening Technique and stored it in the Buddha Country Main Brain, so that if the Zoroastrian Fire Order acted rashly, he could discreetly disseminate the "Mirror Awakening Technique" everywhere with the walnut-sized main brain.

Whatever the enemy opposes, it only proves he's on the right path.

"The Young Master planned ahead. Who would've thought that this preparation would play a crucial role when the big picture of Mingjiang Prefecture unfolded."

The Painter expressed his joy, as the Buddha Country Main Brain was nothing short of an ace against the Zoroastrian Fire Order.

The Music Master and Peng Sheng exchanged glances and said, "With the Young Master here, it is truly a blessing for our Mingjiang."

Compared to Mo Ya Monk and the Painter, the main force descending from the Zoroastrian Fire Order—the Fire Order hanging in the sky, exuding a "Fire Meteor" glow, trembled.

Chilling words were cast down from the sky, using the Ancient Tree Golden Bell as the medium: "Zhou Xuan, the Heaven and Earth chessboard has been activated, no one can leave Mingjiang Prefecture—how can you possibly spread the Mirror Awakening Technique to the other eight prefectures of Jing Country?"

"I am the player, and what exists in my Secret Realm is neither an insider nor an outsider... But likewise, they can become insiders or outsiders. If you don't stop, naturally, something from my Secret Realm will become an outsider and silently fly into Yellow Field Prefecture, Jingchuan Prefecture, Snow Plain Prefecture... If you don't believe me, you're welcome to try."

Zhou Xuan intimidated the Xianhuo Order with the Buddha Country Main Brain.

The sinister words of the Xianhuo Order stopped abruptly, and the black stone in Mo Ya Monk's hand began to buzz and tremble.

The chessboard's stones could influence the fate of the Xianhuo Order, and likewise, in significant moments of choice, the Xianhuo Order could influence the stones.

The trembling indicated that the "Xianhuo" force led by the Xianhuo Order was becoming anxious and uneasy,

Mo Ya Monk finally couldn't hold back, roaring, "Zhou Xuan, we've agreed to play chess, yet you keep using tricks outside the game—can you be more forthright?"

Zhou Xuan's behavior was forcing Mo Ya Monk to speak of "ethics and fairness."

"But I haven't violated any rules."

Zhou Xuan said slyly, "Everything I've done is within the rules of this Heaven and Earth chessboard."

Having said this, Zhou Xuan continued, "So Mo Ya Monk, stop dawdling, continue the game."

"You place a stone at Heavenly Yuan, so I too will place one nearby."

Mo Ya Monk was resolute, like a headstrong fool determined to run into the wall.

He placed a black stone near Zhou Xuan's white stone at Heavenly Yuan. This move could inject some live energy from the chessboard into the Xianhuo Order,

Though lacking a special formation, the Xianhuo Order couldn't complete a valid empowerment; this live energy was merely the monk's attempt to use the chessboard's brilliance to help the Xianhuo Order stay alert—this Heaven and Earth chess battle is a tremendous opportunity for the Zoroastrian Fire Order, don't miss it.
