I'll Quit Being a God

Chapter 325: Things Underground.

Chapter 325: Things Underground.

On that night, the air was as cool as water and the stars filled the sky.

As night fell, the city of Yanjing gradually became quiet.

Although many places of fireworks and pleasure were still brightly lit, by such a late hour, most of the people in the city had already entered into a deep slumber.

Lu Heng and Jiu Mie sat on the rooftop, with a chessboard made of condensed spirituality suspended between them. The monk and the wolf occasionally dropped a piece, but their gazes never left the massive city under the night sky. They remained silent, lost in contemplation.

They had already gone to see Gu Yin who was attacked by the demon, but there was nothing particularly noteworthy found.

We can only confirm that the demon also came from outside the territory and was not a fiend under the Green Hell Cave's jurisdiction.

This situation left Lu Heng puzzled.

Now that the Dragon Soul is about to appear, it's understandable that the demons of the Green Hell Cave are gathering towards Yanjing city. But why are these foreign demons also joining in the fun? They shouldn't know about the Dragon Soul's return, right?

The most likely possibility is that there is something else in Yanjing city that has attracted the arrival of these demons…

"Or we can let the Heavenly Demon Lord reappear in the world and go talk to the demons to see what's going on."

At a certain moment, Lu Heng, who was holding the white jade piece, suddenly broke the silence under the eaves and spoke up.

The old monk gave him a sideways glance and said, 'Be careful that the news hasn't been leaked yet and Lian Cangqing has been lured here…That woman knows about the Dragon Soul, maybe she's already in Yanjing city now.'

"If you make too big of a move and bring her over here…remember that you promised Gu Yin to help him regain his Master's complete mortal body."

Jiu Mie intentionally emphasized the word 'complete' with a heavier tone of voice.

Lu Heng sighed helplessly after listening and said, "Then let's continue playing chess."

After speaking, Lu Heng's white piece landed on the chessboard. It could be seen that as his white piece fell on the spiritual patterned chessboard, strands of earth spirit aura scattered around.

The game of chess played by Lu Heng and Jiu Mie is not an ordinary one, but rather an ancient divine skill that Lu Heng learned from the book "Divine Skill".

[Heaven and Earth Go Game].

Using mountains, rivers, and waterways as the layout of the chessboard, earth veins and spiritual aura as the paths, and supplemented by the purest true qi of advanced cultivation, it can be transformed into an unparalleled magic formation, protecting one side.

Previously, Lu Heng set up a great Heaven and Earth formation using the terrain near Flame Capital City as the chessboard, in order to suppress the demonic aura during the attack of demons and monsters on the city.

However, now that he realizes the precarious situation within the city, he has to set up another chessboard and protect the many living beings inside Flame Capital City.

At the very least, he could protect more living beings from dying during the chaotic dance of demons.

However, such a chessboard caused great mental exhaustion to Lu Heng and Jiu Mie. The monk and the wolf both lowered their heads, not even bothering to speak a word, looking exhausted.

Just occasionally making a move.

Time keeps passing by incessantly.

The pitch-black night becomes even deeper.

The enormous Yanjing City gradually quieted down.

Even the fireworks places where people sought amusement and enjoyment have gradually quieted down in the late night.

In the courtyard below, Shen Wuyou and his sister Wuyu are fast asleep in the house, snoring incessantly.

Today, Xiao Ai took the siblings for a stroll in the city, but the bustling scene of Yanjing City was overwhelming for these two who had just come out of the deep mountains.

The two siblings were both extremely excited and played until they were exhausted.

After coming back, they went straight to bed and fell asleep instantly.

Xiao Ai stood under the tree, closed her eyes and meditated silently, patiently waiting for the Wolf God who was playing chess on the eaves without saying a word.

Above the sky, a huge floating island slowly drifted up and down, and even in the deep darkness one could clearly see the glow of the sacred fire inside the Fire God Temple.

On the rooftop, the game between Lu Heng and Jiu Mie had come to a critical moment.

However, at this moment, the two of them had dispelled their previous laziness and their expressions became solemn.

Each move was made with a slight tension as they stared at the spiritual chessboard, closely observing the veins of the spiritual energy on it.

This edition of the Heaven and Earth Go Game was designed based on the entire city of Yanjing and a prior notice was given to the Fire God Temple. Therefore, theoretically, it should not have been possible for anyone to obstruct the game.

As the game between Lu Heng and his opponent continued and their formation developed, a certain huge obstruction began to emerge.

Each move made by Lu Heng and his opponent was even more difficult than the previous one.

Even though both of them had strong cultivation, they were still slightly alarmed.

There is definitely something wrong underground in the city of Yanjing!

Under the moonlight, a monk and a wolf on the eaves faced each other with solemn expressions.

If it weren't for the fact that this Heaven and Earth Go Game was being played with Yanjing City as its blueprint, this matter might not have been detected.

However, the unfolding of the Heaven and Earth Go Game has completely touched that strange thing, sparking it to emerge.

Perhaps this thing is the source of attracting numerous evil demons!

Lu Heng and Jiu Mie looked at each other and understood each other's thoughts.

Jiu Mie, who played with the black pieces, looked at the chessboard with a faint golden light. He looked at the patterns on the chessboard that represent the spiritual energy of Yanjing city's veins, as well as the arrangement and situation of the game, and shook his head slowly.

As the game comes to a close and only three final pieces wait to be placed, this game of "Heaven and Earth Go" will come to fruition.

But Jiu Mie shook his head in resignation and didn't play any more moves.

In the moonlight, Lu Heng looked at Jiu Mie's solemn expression and understood the meaning of his good friend.

If this game were to be forcibly played out, it would thoroughly stimulate the thing that lies beneath the earth, and that thing would inevitably appear prematurely!

Through the game, both Lu Heng and Jiu Mie could vaguely feel that the thing beneath Yanjing City was a divine object of the same level as the soon-to-be-presented dragon soul.

With the current situation of Yanjing City being filled with demonic creatures, once the divine object appears, there will inevitably be rivers of blood!

Jiu Mie, playing as black, slowly lowered his hand and dispersed the black piece filled with spiritual energy in his hand.

Looking at Jiu Mie's surrender, Lu Heng couldn't help but let out a long sigh and also scattered the white piece in his hand.

As the two of them scattered the pieces in their hands, the spiritual chessboard suspended in front of them also vanished, representing the silent dissipation of the veins of spiritual energy in Yanjing City into the void.

Under the cover of the night, a light breeze stirred within Yanjing City, accompanied by surging spiritual energy.

However, most of the people who were sleeping in their dreams didn't notice the fluctuation of this spiritual energy, and merely turned over slightly in their sleep.

And even the cultivators who could sense the dispersion of this spiritual energy could never imagine the marvelous magical techniques that this dissipated spiritual energy represented.

The moonlight was cold and silent. Lu Heng stood up and said, "Shall we go take a look underground?"

Jiu Mie put his palms together and said, "That is precisely what I had in mind. After you, my friend."

"Please do."

The two people whose game was blocked didn't refuse. At the same time as they spoke, they took a step forward and fell into the courtyard below.

They silently blended into the soil of the courtyard.

Xiao Ai frowned slightly upon seeing this scene. Lu Heng's last words left her feeling a little uneasy.

"Summon the Heavenly Thunder Sword and keep watch in all directions,"

The Wolf God's command caused a slight shock in Xiao Ai's heart - does this mean the Wolf God has discovered something requiring the use of the Heavenly Thunder Sword?

While pondering in her mind, Xiao Ai pointed her sword to the sky with her right hand.

In an instant, a green light flew out from behind her and hovered directly above the courtyard.

The dim long sword was concealed in the night sky, held high above the heavens, ready to be unsheathed at any moment.

And beneath the sword's scabbard, Yanjing City was deathly silent…
