The Fairy: From the Traveling Merchant

Chapter 854 "Emperor"

In a remote palace within the Liang State Palace.

Theresa, the "Saint of the Night," who was carving a large magic array on the ground and preparing for the promotion ceremony, suddenly stopped and looked at the door to the inner hall.

And there, Moretti, wearing a top hat and a suit-like outfit, opened the door and walked out with steady steps.

His clothes were not wrinkled at all, and he didn't look like he had been in battle at all.

"Is it going well?" Theresa asked, but she became alert in her heart.

After all, they are fighting for a "treasure", and "success" means paying a price somewhere else.

“I can’t say it’s going smoothly… but there’s a board game in this room, where you roll the dice to determine the number of steps forward, and each stop will trigger a different result.

"I might be lucky. Although I paid a magic weapon and two Morning Star wizard weapons for this, I finally got this..."

Having said that, Moridi spread out his palms, revealing a small toy-like chessboard.

——In the West, magic weapons are equivalent to magic weapons or precious weapons, but they specifically refer to those made from materials from demons at the level of demon kings... and Morning Star witch weapons are equivalent to magical weapons.

Looking at the chessboard with only 5X5 specifications, Theresa said hesitantly: "Is this... 'Yaochi Chess'?"

Moridi shook his head and sighed, "According to what this palace said, it is one of the fragments of the 'Yaochi Chess'!

"There are three more fragments similar to this one, hidden in this secret realm and the fourth secret realm at the end. Only when you gather them all can you truly master the 'chess of Yaochi'."

This did explain why it went so "smoothly"... Theresa breathed a sigh of relief. After all, the process of her obtaining the "Tooth of God" was also too "smoothly". If the two were combined, who knew what kind of "disaster" would befall her.

She thought about it and began to doubt the authenticity of the chessboard, so she asked carefully, "What is the function of this fragment?"

"It can open a 'game' scene belonging to this secret realm at any time, even in Xuantian, as long as it is within the scope of Sizhou, there is no problem." Moridi briefly introduced its function and put it back. After all, according to the agreement, the chessboard must be handed over to the Yu family after returning, and the witch cannot be greedy.

Although "The Chess of Yaochi" is good, it is not necessary for Moridi. The purpose of his coming to this secret place has actually been achieved, so there is no need to create unnecessary trouble.

"The other fragment in this secret realm will most likely be obtained by King Liang, but because there is still a fourth secret realm that needs him to open, we can't fight against each other to snatch it... We can only find a way to get it in the future." Theresa sighed.

She and the Yu family also have a tacit understanding of cooperation. Although the cost of not fulfilling subsequent promises is bearable for her, if possible, she still wants to fulfill her obligations as an ally.

Especially after absorbing the "Tooth of God", she will certainly become more powerful, but she will also become a "treasure" in the eyes of others. There are many masters in Daxia, and she needs the protection of a force like the Yu family, at least until she can completely digest this gain.

Moridi could guess what the witch was thinking, which was one of the reasons why he was willing to help her protect the law, so he nodded and said, "It's safe here for the time being. You can hold a ceremony and use the remains of the evil god to ascend."

Hearing this, Theresa nodded solemnly, and then completed the last part of the magic circle.

As the gentle, low, seductive and magnetic chanting sounded, the magic circle began to emit a mysterious light, and the "Tooth of God" placed at the center of the formation also flew up on its own and hovered above the witch's head.

If Zhao Chen switched the "screen" at this moment, he would find that the process of this ceremony was extremely similar to when he received the "Xing Cha" certificate!

However, just as the ritual reached a critical moment and the "Tooth of God" was about to release its power, Theresa suddenly roared: "No... This is the power of 'Destroying the Law'!"

Because the "God's Tooth" that was supposed to bestow transformation power on her was actually absorbing her power. In just a short moment, her status as "Hui Yue" showed signs of instability.

But at this point in the ritual, Theresa herself was no longer able to stop it, and she no longer had the ability to even interfere.

Moridi, who was guarding the side, heard this without any hesitation. He immediately gathered his magic and was about to interrupt the ceremony.

But at this moment, the order chain of the "Enlightened Beast" suddenly appeared in the palace and wrapped around Moridi at an extremely fast speed.

At the same time, the always teasing voice of the Miefa Sect elder, "Master Zifeng" Yue Guiyi, also sounded at the right time:

"Ms. Witch, we meet again...it's really fate!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the middle-aged man in purple Taoist robe put his arm around Yan Ruyu's waist and walked out from the gust of wind.

Obviously, he calculated Theresa's specific location through Yan Ruyu, the witch's clone.

And Theresa had no idea that Yan Ruyu had fallen into Yue Guiyi's hands, because just a moment ago, Yan Ruyu was still sending a message saying that she was with King Liang and was about to enter the game of "Yaochi Chess".

"You! Did you tamper with this 'Tooth of God'? Why did you hurt me like this?!" Theresa was really anxious this time, because even as she was talking, her status had fallen from "Brilliant Moon" and was still slipping away.

Moreover, she was sucked by the "Tooth of God" through a magic ritual she had set up. She couldn't even escape and could only pin her hopes on Moridi to protect her.

But at this moment, Moridi has been entangled by the "Enlightened Beast" again, and is considering whether to fight for the witch.

After teasing the witch, Yue Guiyi turned to him and said with a smile: "This gentleman should be someone invited by the Yu family. Now that the treasure has been obtained, leave quickly. Otherwise, if I join forces with the 'Enlightened Beast', even if you can escape, you will inevitably be severely injured. Is it really worth it?
"I think no matter what kind of contract you signed before, it certainly does not include risking your life for each other when your lives are in danger."

These words successfully shook Moridi. After getting the "Staff of Ouroboros" that he wanted and the "chess of Yaochi" that his employer needed, he really didn't want to create trouble.

If it was an ordinary enemy, it would be fine. He could do the witch a favor and perhaps rely on her power after returning to Taixi. However, facing two "Dongxuan" beings, especially the elder of the Miefa Sect whose realm was even higher than his, he had no chance of winning no matter how hard he thought. He didn't even dare to follow the other party's advice and run away directly, fearing that there were other ambushes outside the palace.

So, Moridi ignored the witch's look for help, directly activated the effect of the chessboard he had just obtained, and entered the random "game" in the secret realm.

Seeing Moridi running away without hesitation, Theresa couldn't help but feel more regretful and desperate. At this time, she couldn't even maintain the "Morning Star", and her cultivation level could hardly suppress Yan Ruyu in Yue Guiyi's arms.

"Are you thinking that if you hadn't been so anxious to absorb the 'Fang of God', you wouldn't have ended up in this situation?
"Haha, it's useless. As long as you don't give up the 'Remnants of the Evil God', your fate is doomed... You are destined to be wiped out of all your cultivation by me, and become a mortal woman, serving me all your life... This is the fate bestowed upon me by His Majesty, and also upon you." Yue Guiyi said the cruelest words in a gentle tone.

Then he patted Yan Ruyu in his arms and said, "On the contrary, she may become the host and return to Taixi in your place to continue to be the 'Saint of the Night'."

These words made Theresa's eyes widen. She couldn't believe that the current Emperor of Daxia could be so powerful. But soon, she suddenly reacted and said in disbelief: "Your Majesty... The Majesty you are talking about is not the current Emperor of Daxia, but the Emperor Gaozu?!"

"I am indeed employed by the Emperor of Daxia, but I also obey the orders of Emperor Gaozu... There is no conflict." Yue Guiyi looked at Theresa who was still struggling and felt more and more happy. He smiled and asked, "Do you think that if the current emperor really did not have the protection of the royal family of Daxia's 'Shengxuan' level, he could fight the True Lord behind 'Yuchan Zhenren' for more than ten years?
"Do you think that Master Yuchan is so cautious and afraid of falling into a trap just because of a junior who only has magical powers?
"It's true that he wants Concubine Ning, but it's also true that he wants to test Emperor Gaozu...

"After all, Gaozu may be very close to that step, so close that some beings who don't want to be deprived of the concept of 'emperor' can't sit still and want to plan the old things of 'Moyun'."
