It has been several months since Kong Xuan left Shangyang Mountain. It's rare to have a time to calm down between practices. I always feel a moment of crisis haunting my head.

has also been reckless, and Kong Xuan often recalls the old times. But when he stepped into the quasi-saint, everything changed. The road ahead is blocked, and there will be no future again. The feeling made him almost insane.

Then, after a long period of precipitation, this crazy anger is cold, and all that remains is helplessness and attachment to one's own heart.

I practice just to know that I am me, so why bother to wag my tail and beg for mercy for the sake of a realm?

Kong Xuan's mentality is very representative, and many quasi-saints in the world almost hold this mentality. It's sad and helpless.

Now because of Shen Gongbao's involvement, Kong Xuan has stepped into the big quagmire of the civil war of the Shang Dynasty, and he has no choice but to get out. Now all he can think about is how to make sure he can get out alive in this quagmire.

What Shen Gongbao revealed about the God List didn't mean much to Kong Xuan, but it made him understand that the situation in front of him was more complicated than he expected. The previous sword light came from Yuan Shi Tianzun, Kong Xuan knew that he had seen Yuan Shi and felt the huge coercion that defied everything.

To be honest, being able to retreat from the hands of a truly powerful person may seem quite proud to other monks, but in Kong Xuan's opinion, there is nothing to be proud of. If you can't do it, you can't do it. Face to face, he didn't feel that he could really escape from Yuan Shi's men.

Maybe it's really better to have a faceless existence?

Kong Xuan shook his head self-deprecatingly.

Look at the army that is slowly advancing around you. Black clothes and black armor, there are 200,000 people. Like the Zhou Dynasty that was only established, this time the song was also known as an army of 800,000. It's almost the limit of how many soldiers Chaoge can control. This time, whether it is the Zhou Dynasty or Chaoge, it can be described as a ruin.

It seems that Chaoge still has an absolute advantage. In terms of soldiers, it is purely a crushing gap, and in the comparison of middle-level monks and the Zhou Dynasty, it is also half a catty. In the end, the high-ranking monk, Kong Xuan felt that it would be enough for Chaoge to have his own seat. Lu Jian will not be his opponent. And the other quasi-saints in this world, he doesn't care even more.

In this way, it seems that the outcome has been decided. But isn't it the same with the valuable Battle of Vaxi? Judging from the strength in his hands, it was a 100% victory for the Chaoge side.

But the surface does not hide the inner facts.

As Kong Xuan said to Shen Gongbao, this is not as simple as a civil war in the Shang Dynasty, but a game of chess, where all living beings are chess pieces, and there are too many bigwigs involved. And there are already signs of tearing the skin.

Lu Jian killed Zhao Gongming, which was not a simple matter in Kong Xuan's opinion. How dare Lu Xuan have the courage to kill the disciples of the sect leader? Kong Xuan didn't believe it, and there must be something else hidden in it. And the sect leader of the sect has never made a move, but the sect leader of the sect has already rolled up his sleeves and personally ended the fight, not to mention that there is still a person standing next to the sect to teach, two to one.

If it was just a game between the three giants, Kong Xuan, who was a quasi-saint and did not belong to any of the great sects, would not be so entangled, he felt that his strength and vision could completely avoid the nirvana, and it was possible to bring Shen Gongbao, a friend, to escape the catastrophe together.

But the problem is that he now knows more than the three players in this game, and he also feels that the situation is more complicated. Because the three players probably didn't know that they were already framed into a larger board when they were about to play the final game. And Kong Xuan, the person who played this game of chess, didn't know the identity of the other party at all.

Kong Xuan has seen the magic weapon called "ruling" in Shen Gongbao's hand, although the principle is complicated, he can still understand it. But the contents were completely incomprehensible to him. That's what surprised him the most.

Thinking that he Kong Xuan is a dignified quasi-saint, the cultivation time is not counted, and the comprehension of the rules of the Heavenly Dao alone is also the top existence in the world. Even if it can't compare to the three saints, there are only a handful of saints who can compare with him. Therefore, the completely unfamiliar and incomprehensible situation of the logic of the rules contained in this "ruling" made Kong Xuan's heart feel a little chilly.

The world is full of cultivators. This is true of both humans and demons and ghosts. A saint and a rookie who has just stepped into the threshold of cultivation are essentially the same, they are both cultivators, and they are both cultivating the "Dao" of the Heavenly Dao.

Now, the Heavenly Dao is still there, so where did the rules in this "ruling" come from? Kong Xuan didn't know, but he was sure that these rules would definitely not be comprehended in the Heavenly Dao!

In this way, this magic weapon became even more weird, and the mysterious person surnamed Xue couldn't think of any of its origins.

Taking out the black soul mark from the space mezzanine, Kong Xuan's eyes became a little sharp. When he was in Shangyang Mountain that day, the man surnamed Xue once said that this soul mark could help Kong Xuan, who was in despair, clear the clouds and mist and understand the vanity of the world. At that time, Kong Xuan didn't believe it, but now he is a little uncertain.

Although Kong Xuan couldn't see the numerology of the Heavenly Dao as clearly as the three people playing chess above, he didn't have to touch it at all. Especially when he himself is caught in this quagmire, many things are even more obvious.

His friend Shen Gongbao, the numerology involved in his body can be described as scary. The dead Zhao Gongming, and now more than half of the middle and high-level monks in the army camp were recruited by Shen Gongbao, Kong Xuan himself, and so did the three fairies of the Three Immortal Islands. It would be illogical to insist on saying that it is "broad travel". There must be a deliberate arrangement in it.

Even Kong Xuan wondered if his feelings for Shen Gongbao's "best friend" were real, or whether they were specially arranged by the people who played chess?

It can be seen that the role played by Shen Gongbao in this chess game must be extremely important, and it can be called an important link in the node. On the other hand, if there was no Kong Xuan here, I am afraid that the Chaoge army would have been defeated by Xiqi in the previous war, after all, the land pressure is very powerful.

Therefore, Kong Xuan felt that he was likely to be an extremely important or staged chess piece on the chessboard.

The two chess pieces, the important chess pieces, had been touched by the mysterious person surnamed Xue, and both hinted at some words such as "clearing the fog", which he didn't understand at the time, but now, Kong Xuan feels that he understands a lot.

"Can you jump out of this quagmire by eating this soul mark?

I felt unbelievable in my heart and wanted to try it, but my instinctive self-defense always made Kong Xuan stop at the last moment. And at present, Kong Xuan's situation is far from the word "despair".

"Let's see. He muttered in his heart and put away the soul mark. As soon as his eyes flicked out of the tent, the killing seemed to be coming again......
