Who is that?

"Ao Rui, the second son of the Dragon King of the East Sea."

Wan'er continued, "The relationship between the Great Xia and the East Sea Dragon Clan is very strained. A few years ago, the youngest son of the East Sea Dragon King caused trouble in the eastern sea area of ​​the Great Xia. After the Imperial Observatory went to warn him, he became even more aggressive and was eventually killed by the princess."

"No wonder he exuded murderous intent!"

The Great Xia Dynasty has many enemies, and Qin Luo knows that this debate is very disadvantageous to the Great Xia Dynasty.

Qin Luo entered the Wushang Temple. He saw Lu Ming, bowed to him, and also saw the Martial Academy's patriarch and Jiang Ding.

The Martial Academy's patriarch had recovered quite well. He bowed to Qin Luo, his eyes filled with gratitude, "Daoist Qin, I haven't had a chance to properly thank you yet."

Qin Luo waved his hand, looking humble, "Senior, we each got what we needed, you don't need to take it to heart!"

They walked together into the Wushang Temple.

Qin Luo saw the main hall where the Dao Ancestor was enshrined. He walked towards the main hall, where powerful figures from various forces were present. The portrait of the Dao Ancestor at the top was somewhat blurry and could not be clearly seen.

There were many powerful figures in the hall, but there wasn't a single incense stick in the incense burner. Qin Luo saw the Daoist disciple of Baiyu Temple and Yuan Qi from the Dao Alliance, both of whom were standing in the hall watching.

Qin Luo took out three incense sticks and lit them.

He bowed and paid his respects with the incense sticks in his hand, then placed the three sticks in the incense burner, and blue smoke rose into the hall.

The Crown Prince of Dazhen said coldly, "This smoke is no different from ordinary smoke."

Dao Alliance's Yuan Qi looked at Qin Luo, shook his head, and said softly, "His fate is sealed!"

"Junior Brother!"

Chu Qingcheng entered the hall.

Qin Luo turned around and bowed respectfully, "Senior Sister!"

Chu Qingcheng walked to the incense burner, bowed respectfully to the portrait of the Dao Ancestor.

Hua Ying appeared outside the hall, dressed in a light purple dress with her purple hair piled high, exuding nobility and elegance. "Gentlemen, the discussion is about to begin. Please follow me."

Qin Luo and the others followed Hua Ying to the depths of Wushang Temple. Not far away were tall buildings, and below them were many Taoist platforms, which looked like eye positions on a chessboard from above.

Near the Dao Platform were many powerful figures: an old monk in a black kasaya, a disheveled middle-aged sword cultivator, a burly demon with a lion's face, a handsome young man in dark gray armor, a fairy in a white dress, and a celestial prodigy with a vertical eye on his forehead.

There are hundreds of powerful figures in Wushang Temple, many of whom Qin Luo has never met. There are also powerful figures in the capital who have not yet come to Wushang Temple, such as the True Saint in Qilong Alley, the Duke of Zhou from Daxia Academy, and the old woman that Xiao Tuanzi met, etc.

Hua Ying stood before the many platforms and declared in a resounding voice, "Everyone, my master proposed to discuss the Dao through chess, supporting the idea that human will can overcome fate by playing white, and supporting the idea that fate can overcome human will by playing black. We can all make our own moves."

"interesting!"

The powerful figures around them all nodded in agreement.

Qin Luo laughed. He hadn't expected the discussion to take place in this way; the Imperial Advisor was forcing him to make a choice.

Yuan Qi, carrying an empty sword sheath, stepped forward and asked, "So, it's Bai who will go first?"

The rule in Daxia is that the white piece goes first.

Anyone who plays chess knows that the first move has an advantage.

Hua Ying said softly, "The human race dares to yield to the Heavenly Dao!"

P.S.: I'm preparing for a book test, could you guys give me some suggestions and help me come up with a few book titles? Thank you!
