I Am Loaded With Passive Skills

Chapter 3974: Chapter 1897: Guiding

Time Realm Rift entrusted the path with Life Providence, aimed at the Demon Ancestor.

Cross Corner Street pushed Jiang into the whirlpool, with the intent on Cursed Yin.

Among the Third Ancestor, still lacking a Medicine Ancestor to strictly defend, after all, only Bei Huai is exposed externally.

Yet Bei Huai also hides behind others; his true body is still in the Mournful Emperor realm, it’s not that they don’t want to target him, they truly cannot reach him.

At this point, Jin Ren’s mission, is considered complete.

Repair the plank road openly, sneak through the warehouse secretly.

Then cross the warehouse again, and again...

Xu Xiaoshou approached this situation utilizing clever force, after all, brute force could never overpower the Third Ancestor, all he wants is to "keep a tight watch" that’s all.

Even if eventually the outer layer is stripped away, the trick exposed, the Demon Ancestor will face Kui Leihan, and Cursed Yin sees Jiang Nayi.

Going one layer deeper, if Dao Qiongcang’s prediction comes true, then Cao Erzhu steps up and Jiang Nayi’s Jin Mo identity is exposed.

The former remains a variable.

Jin Mo is not expected to do much; he just needs to note one exception in Blood World Pearl anomaly, to complete the mission as Cursed Yin starts plotting.

If it still serves to let Cursed Yin suspect Demon Ancestor’s connection with Xu Xiaoshou, further deepening the rift in Third Ancestor’s alliance, then Jiang Nayi as a piece on the chessboard died meaningfully.

Pry open a rift, Xu Xiaoshou has means to make them suspect each other, enlarging the rift until they disagree and engage in conflict.

And if we go even deeper...

If Jin Ren’s schemes are revealed, let him perish for the sake of demonstration, and I will regenerate.

After all, the real Xu Xiaoshou doesn’t intend to wade into this muddy water, he is playing the angler role, laying beast chess with Dao Peipei, waiting for the moment and seizing the chance.

Sleeves flutter in Qianshi, person of heavens, heart is serene.

Previously Dao Peipei was holding tight to his little mouse meant to be hidden in the river, the tiger was eaten just to save the mouse.

His penchant for the mouse that risks small stakes for big returns is truly remarkable.

Looking across Stairway to Heaven, inside and outside the Time Realm Rift, the prodigies of various generations take their positions, ancient Ancestral Gods await in the arena.

Momentum is like an arrow on the bowstring, a crescent moon bends to a full bow.

"Shoot now..."

Xu Xiaoshou silently sighed.

Clearly it was his first time setting a strategy, yet there was a sense of worldly composure, was he too relaxed or nervous to the point his string snapped?

Brooding fruitlessly, he furrowed his brows and pulled back his distant gaze, focusing on the beast chess endgame before him.

"Eat!"

Shouting loudly, blustering.

Dao Peipei was startled, Xu Xiaoshou seized the chance to push his cat forward with his toe, still coveting Dao Peipei’s mouse.

If not cheating, what kind of chess is it?

He’s no gentleman anyway.

As the chess game fell into a push and pull, and then into a shouting match, Xu Xiaoshou took a moment to glance at Lingyu.

Equally intense...

Everything that needed to be done was done, the ambushes set, the points guarded, everything is ready except for the eastern wind.

Cheating is trickery; now this chess game must return to the direct confrontation at Lingyu Mountain, to see who among Hua Ba wields the sword more skillfully.

"Xu Xiaoshou!"

Dao Peipei suddenly grinned, eerily saying, "I’ll let you cheat for this move, but you must tell me, where is your true body?"

Xu Xiaoshou froze upon hearing, then burst into laughter.

He pointed at himself, raised his eyebrows high, did not speak, with confusion evident.

He leaned forward, reaching out to touch Dao Peipei’s forehead, "No fever..."

"Speak or not!"

"Are you sick? If I’m not here, where would I be?"

"Pretend, keep pretending!" Dao Peipei squinted, his gaze sinister, with his petty mind gauging a noble heart.

Xu Xiaoshou was amused by his small eyes, waved his hand saying, "Fine! The most dangerous place is the safest; I’m actually at Lingyu Mountain."

"Pretend, keep pretending!" Dao Peipei grew more sinister, trying to peer into Xu Xiaoshou’s dirty soul through his eyes.

Xu Xiaoshou shook his head, smiling silently.

...

"Cluck-cluck-cluck—"

The Black Chicken crowed, sticking its head out from Yu Zhiwen’s arms.

It surveyed left and right with steady eyes, then climbed to the chest to the shoulder, pecking at the soft earlobe, as if hungry and searching for food.

Yu Zhiwen tickled, grabbing the chicken back, "Waking up?"

"Cluck, cluck! Cluck-cluck..."

The Black Chicken sang its hard-to-listen chicken song, grating on the ear.

Even so, it didn’t attract much attention, as there were hardly any people at the foot of Lingyu Mountain.

Yue Gongnu glanced sideways, observing Little Yu grooming the chicken’s feathers, and silently smiled.

Li Fuyu was accustomed to it; the playful banter of the couple ignored as her eyes were solely on the Lingyu chessboard.

Elder Wuyue’s words, "Our Ancient Swordman marches forward bravely," completely announced the elimination of the coward Lord Shou.

At the moment, no one attends to the post-battle support medic Xu Xiaoshou.

Everyone knows, the main players in this match, are only three.

"Good."

The Sword Ancestor’s figure became seventy percent translucent.

His time left, is limited.

Under the watchful eyes, with just a slight pause, the Sword Ancestor’s sleeve flicked, releasing three bands of white light, each shooting towards Hua, Ba, and Gou.

The three were vigilant but showed no retreat.

After holding them in their hands, the white light dissipated, transforming into three milk-white warm jade pieces.

No carving adorned the surface, merely simple cloud patterns, but contained within, a singular, utmost power.

Guiding...

Bazhun’an recognized this power.

It’s within the Divine Relics, grasped by God Worship Willow Tree of Apricot Realm.

Yet, the guiding power of these jade pendants clearly doesn’t lead to either known location, their destination need not be asked?

"These are ’sword balls’."

The Sword Ancestor’s voice was ethereal, as his figure sporadically flickered, sounding somewhat hollow:

"Each of the three excels in the Way of the Sword, possessing the ability to unlock the Moon Viewing Map legacy."
