    From the moment this woman appeared, a terrifying aura enveloped the entire world. Everyone was stunned.


    They stared nkly at everything in front of them. Time seemed to have stopped at this moment.


    “Tell me, where is the chess yer?”


    Seeing that no one had answered her question, the demonic woman asked again.


    ——Shua!


    Everyone present turned their attention to Li Xuanmen.


    She stepped on the void and walked towards Li Xuanmen. The Divination Chessboard followed closely behind her like a shadow.


    Li Xuanmen was delighted when he saw the board walking towards him.


    ‘Could it be? The Divination Chessboard saw that I wasmunicating with Wang Yuyan and wants to acknowledge me as her master now!?’


    The woman looked at Li Xuanmen and sized him up before asking, “Who are you?”


    “You’re not the one ying chess! Tell me who cracked the ‘Exquisite Chessboard’?”


    At this moment, the entire ce was filled with shock. Everyone’s faces were filled with iparable shock and astonishment.


    Only Li Xuanmen’s expression changed from green to red.


    Artifact spirit!


    There was no doubt that the devilish woman that appeared from the Divination Chessboard was the artifact spirit of the Divination Chessboard.


    Only a magic treasure of the level of an celestial item would give birth to an artifact spirit. Hence, the grade of the Divination Chessboard could be seen at a nce.


    After hearing the devilish woman’s words, everyone present was also paying attention to Li Xuanmen’s reply.


    The person who was ying chess with the Divination Chessboard was not Li Xuanmen, but someone else.


    This news really made people curious. If it was not because the power of the Divination Chessboard was too shocking and shocked everyone present, no one would be able to open their mouths to speak. At this moment, everyone present was already engaged in a heated discussion.


    Everyone’s gaze shifted to Li Xuanmen, making him feel uneasy.


    ‘How did this artifact spirit know that it wasn’t me ying chess, but someone was guiding me? Should I reveal my senior?’


    Thousands of thoughts instantly shed through Li Xuanmen’s mind. The devilish woman’s aura made him tremble, but the temptation of a celestial item made him not want to give it up.


    This was a great fortune, a huge opportunity, and it was right in front of him.


    Perhaps if he moved his mouth, he could...


    Li Xuanmen thought about it for a long time, but he still could not bear to let it go. He avoided her gaze and forced himself to answer hesitantly, “The person who... yed chess with you... Is... Me... Me...”


    Upon hearing this answer, the demonic woman’s face did not show any emotion. She was still as cold as ever.


    “If that’s the case...”


    The demonic woman looked at Li Xuanmen and said calmly, “Come and y another round with me. If you win, the Divination Chessboard will be yours. I will also recognize you as my master...”


    Li Xuanmen heard this and felt his body trembling with excitement.


    “If you lose... Then you will be a chess piece for the Divination Chessboard...”


    The artifact spirit continued to say such threatening words without any emotion. In an instant, Li Xuanmen felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave. He was on the verge of copsing to the ground.


    Li Xuanmen grabbed themunication talisman in his sleeve and shouted crazily in his heart,? “Senior! Save me, Senior! ...Senior, answer me quickly...”


    Unfortunately, the jade talisman in his hand seemed to have lost its effect.


    The calling and urging were like a y ox entering the sea. There was no reaction at all.


    In addition, the killing intent of the artifact spirit was firmly locked onto him. It was as if someone was holding onto his life, scaring him so much that he did not dare to move.


    ‘It’s over, it’s over. This time, it’s over.’


    The senior must have thought that the chess game was over, so he put down themunication talisman and went to do other things.


    Being locked onto by the demonic woman’s cold killing intent, Li Xuanmen was really on the verge of tears. He could only ce all his hopes on themunication talisman to be seen by the senior again. He cried out persistently, hoping for a miracle to happen.


    It was as if someone had heard Li Xuanmen’s prayers. The silentmunication talisman finally trembled again. It was as if there was someone on the other side.


    Li Xuanmen felt as if he had grabbed onto a straw when he was drowning. He was ecstatic and quickly called out, “Senior, is that you?”


    “Senior! I am Li Xuanmen...”


    After a while, there was finally a sound from the other side.


    “Meow, meow–”


    Cat meows came from the other side. They were soft but very cold.


    It was as if the cat on the other side saw the jade talisman on the table and pushed it off the table out of curiosity.


    “Padah–” There was no movement at all.


    Li Xuanmen felt as if he was on a roller coaster ride from heaven to hell.


    From the beginning to the end, he had to start all over again...


    Just like that, Li Xuanmen’s joy was gone. His entire body seemed to have been weathered by the wind. He froze and saw the artifact spirit in front of him again.


    Like a rubber ball that had been drained of its helium gas, he lowered his head with a dejected expression. He slowly extended his hand that was hidden in his sleeve. There was amunication talisman specially made by the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets hidden inside.


    It said helplessly and bitterly, “I admit it. The person who yed chess with you earlier was indeed not me...”


    “Hua–”


    Although the people present were already prepared, they were still a little surprised to see Li Xuanmen admitting to it so brazenly.


    ...


    The ck cat fiddled with themunication talisman on the table. Just as she ced her paw on it, there was a fluctuation. She was caught off guard and was a little shocked.


    Then, she began to feel a little curious about this thing that she had never seen before in the demon world. She gently fiddled with it...


    She fiddled with it to the edge of the table and then pulled it back. The cat demon, who felt that it was very interesting, was having a lot of fun.


    However, she did not manage to control her strength when she fiddled with it once. She directly ced the jade talisman under the table.


    The ck cat looked at the jade talisman that had fallen and looked anxious. However, on second thought...


    Who would suspect a cute little cat?


    She pretended that nothing had happened and left the courtyard to find Little Fox and the others to y.


    Liu Changgong saw that the ck cat had finally appeared and was relieved. He picked it up and put it in the nest that he had made for these small animals.


    “Today, I’m going to the mountain to dig for bamboo shoots. Today, someone sent over arge piece of cured meat. Tonight, we’ll make bamboo shoots and braised pork for dinner.”


    The moment the little fox heard that there would be delicious food for dinner, it immediately stood up. Its eyes immediately lit up.


    With a swoosh, it jumped out of the warm nest and into Liu Changgong’s arms.


    The rabbit was toozy to move. As for the ck cat, since she had just caused trouble, she only wanted to stay in the nest and sleep.


    Liu Changgong packed his things and walked towards the back of the mountain.


    As for Li Xuanmen, he had long been forgotten.
