A couplet once read—The heavens form the board, the stars be the pieces, who dares to make a move?
Few could envision the universe itself as a chessboard.
Yet in Shen Yue's heart, the King of Nine Provinces seemed to be one of them.
Now, nearly all those within Li Bin's room were the King of Nine Provinces' chess pieces. Wanyan Lie's arrival here wasn't necessarily because he knew they were present, but more likely due to the Yinyuan Stone that Li Bin knew of.
Wanyan Lie's escape from his predicament did not surprise Shen Yue.
After the vomiting blood ended and people like Yang Yao and Shiying shattered and reassembled, it was possible the same had happened on Wanyan Lie's side. If the so-called Immortal Binding Rope were to break, and a man like Wanyan Lie were to miss such an opportunity, he would not be Wanyan Lie.
Wanyan Lie shook off Wanyan Xiyin's wrist and stared at Shen Yue, "Shen Yue, you're here as well. That's more than ideal."
