Ling Guan flew a little closer, but feeling the pressure emanating from Yun Wan, he didn't dare to get too close.
Originally, he had prepared two plans.
However, now that someone has sat on the white chess position, the opponent must have realized the extraordinary nature of the chess position. Therefore, Ling Guan can only use information that the opponent will figure out sooner or later to exchange for a friendly identity.
The moment Wanshi Changchun took the black chess position, Ling Guan also noticed that the restrictions on the chessboard in his mind had loosened. Although the restrictions were still there, they were no longer effective.
The two in front of him, the one on the chessboard, seemed to have nothing special about them, and their aura was ordinary. But Ling Guan also saw the scales on the other's arm!
He is a real dragon in shapeshifting!
The dragon clan is an object that a weird person like him must stay away from.
The aura of the female cultivator waiting beside him was enough to make Ling Guan feel a little chilly.
This feeling does not come from the level of cultivation, but from perception and consciousness, or in other words, from the strange survival instinct!
Ling Guan's survival instinct told him that this female cultivator was very dangerous!
There was no fight between the two of them in front of the chess position, which meant that Ling Guan had no chance to throw out information to cause internal strife among the other side and then take advantage of the situation.
"Gentlemen, although I am now in a strange body, I still retain the personality and soul of a human cultivator. Therefore, I will never deceive you. Please do not kill me..."
Yun Wan slightly increased the pressure, urging Ling Guan to speak the key points.
According to her observation, Ling Guan did retain the human spirit, but it was unclear whether his personality had changed.
On the bright side, Ling Guan might be a friendly weirdo like Ling Zhu and Ling Shan, capable of being accepted into the Cang Xia Sect. However, one must be wary of the possibility that he might be a weirdo disguised as he is now, waiting for an opportunity to do evil.
Ling Guan spent a few brief sentences to describe how he was deceived by the chess game, drawn into the chessboard, and transformed into a strange chess spirit.
Then, he also talked about several characteristics of the strange chess spirit.
Including limited thinking, limited actions, etc.
Then, Ling Guan talked about a key point.
"...It took me countless years to finally understand the characteristics of the chessboard."
"The magical power of this treasure is that it allows the user to construct magical powers at will! Of course, this is limited to the chessboard... However, the products created by the constructed magical powers can be projected into the world beyond the chessboard."
"The previous owner of the chessboard set a rule for it. Through the game, he could absorb cultivators from the outside world and use them as materials to create strange chess spirits on the chessboard!"
"As for the owner of the chessboard—the previous person who sat on the chess seat—I, along with many chess spirits older than me, have never seen him. I heard from some chess spirits that the owner of the chessboard is among us. Perhaps, for some reason, he transformed himself into a chess spirit..."
Yun Wan frowned.
That doesn't make sense.
If the chessboard really has such magical powers, then as long as the owner of the chessboard stays on the chessboard, he can create a suitable environment for himself and provide suitable conditions.
No matter how serious the injury is, it cannot harm the owner of the chessboard.
Even life span can be circumvented in various ways.
Unless... the owner of this chessboard is so stupid that he doesn't even know how to create these conditions on the chessboard!
Otherwise, why would he transform himself into a strange chess spirit?
"So, what's your plan in telling us this?"
Ling Guan smiled bitterly and said, "Now that Senior has taken the chess position, so when Senior displays his magical powers, could you please show some mercy and let us go... If possible, would you mind freeing us from our strange bodies?"
"Of course! If you would be so kind as to show me mercy, I would be willing to serve you for a thousand years! I would be at your service without hesitation!"
Yun Wan hummed and asked, "Since I am sitting on the chess seat, I am the master of the chessboard. Since I am the master of the chessboard, can't I also drive you?"
Ling Guan's expression suddenly became awkward.
After a few seconds, Ling Guan said, "I'm willing to exchange it for a secret."
“…” Yun Wan was speechless.
Since the Master of the Chessboard can drive you, then even if it is a secret, it cannot be hidden from the Master, right?
This chess spirit is a little confused?
"I believe you've also discovered that controlling us wouldn't be possible without years of exploration," Ling Guan continued. "And even after taking the chess position, you can't rest easy. Because there's still the one in the black position, competing with you..."
"General Long, what do you think?" Yun Wan turned around and asked.
Ao Hai's gaze lingered on the chessboard as he replied, "You're trying to say that the previous owner left behind some tactics to target the person who took the chess seat?"
As soon as the words came out, the expression on Ling Guan's face could no longer be maintained.
True dragon, actually knew!?
How did he know!?
This secret was something Ling Guan had been trying to uncover since he was transformed into a chess spirit. He had waited countless hours for the opportunity to finally discover it!
"Then the dragon will..."
"As long as you don't touch it, you'll be fine." Ao Hai said, "This chessboard is really interesting."
Ever since the Dragon Palace disaster, Ao Hai had strengthened his defenses against strange things. Therefore, he could naturally spot the traps on the chessboard.
"Then, isn't Eternal Spring over?"
"He's as famous as you, so... shouldn't he?"
