Chapter 173: Why not compete for the world?

In a residential house located in the East City of Xianyang.

This was one of Yemu's strongholds in Xianyang, and also the current residence of Su Xuan and Yan Lingji.

After showing the order of the "Suoyike" (Straw Cloak Guest), Su Xuan easily took over everything of Yemu in the Qin Guo.

Saying everything, in fact, Yemu's forces in the Qin Guo were really not very good; after all, within the Qin Guo, there was already a powerful dark organization, and its name was Luo Wang.

Wanting to grab territory from Luo Wang, Yemu did not have that strength.

However, whether there was strength or not, Su Xuan did not care much; what he cared about was that Yemu could arrange a place for him to live.

As long as Yemu could do these trivial things in life well, then it was a good Yemu organization.

Outside, the night was hazy, and inside the room, the lights were bright.

On both sides of the chessboard, Su Xuan and Yan Lingji each held chess pieces, playing chess while talking.

"From Xinzheng to Xianyang, this Qin Wang has already encountered several crises. Now, you are not by his side; no one knows what else he will encounter. Aren't you afraid he will die?"

Yan Lingji placed a black chess piece on the chessboard and teased Su Xuan.

She roughly knew Su Xuan's purpose.

The King of Han was dead, and there was no one left to provide Su Xuan with resources for cultivation, so Su Xuan chose the Qin Wang again.

The Qin Guo was the most powerful country in the world, and the Qin Wang was the most distinguished King among many Kings.

If he had the help of the Qin Wang, Su Xuan would not have to worry about cultivation resources.

Yan Lingji had been by Su Xuan's side for a long time, and Su Xuan had never hidden his cultivation from her, although she had never heard of this cultivation method—refining medicinal materials into elixirs and then taking elixirs to improve strength?

But for Su Xuan's strength, she clearly recognized it.

It was deservedly strong.

Tian Ze, Bai Yifei, Ji Wuye, Heaven-grade Luo Wang—all the experts encountered by Su Xuan on the way from the State of Han to the Qin Guo were easily solved by him. No one knew where Su Xuan's limit was.

"I have already helped him several times. If he encounters an accident and dies without my help, this can only mean that his luck has run out and I failed to recognize a true talent." Su Xuan's tone was very indifferent.

As if it did not matter if Ying Zheng died.

After answering Yan Lingji's question, he also placed a white chess piece on the chessboard and said: "You lost!"

I saw that on the chessboard, four white chess pieces were connected in a line.

Yan Lingji held a black chess piece, and no matter which end she started to block, it was of no avail.

After Yan Lingji discovered this, she put down the chess piece in her hand somewhat depressed.

"Again, again!"

She said to Su Xuan, and then the two picked up the chess pieces and started a new game.

Although Su Xuan and Yan Lingji were sitting on both sides of the Go chessboard and using Go, they were playing Gomoku. There was no way, who told Su Xuan that he did not understand Go?

Although he was proficient in medical skills and understood many earth-sha Taoist techniques, understanding these things did not mean he would play Go.

Although Yan Lingji came from Baiyue, after joining Tian Ze's command, influenced by Tian Ze, she knew a little about these things, but it was only a little, and it could not be called proficient.

Ancient entertainment facilities were scarce, and it was even more boring after nightfall.

So, finally, under Su Xuan's suggestion, Yan Lingji and Su Xuan played Gomoku.

This game had simple rules but was quite interesting. After a while, Yan Lingji understood the rules.

During this period, although she had won against Su Xuan several times, she still lost most of the time. In martial arts fighting, she was not Su Xuan's opponent, and even once, a bet had lost herself to Su Xuan.

However, this kind of chess competition, since Su Xuan would lose, it meant that Su Xuan was not strong in everything and still had his weaknesses. Yan Lingji, for reason and emotion, wanted to win against Su Xuan several more times.

As they spoke, the two started another game.

In this game, Yan Lingji tried her best, calculating several steps for one step, and finally successfully won against Su Xuan once.

This made her somewhat proud.

Afterward, she hurriedly started a new game.

Placing the black piece on the chessboard, Yan Lingji asked Su Xuan a question that had lingered in her heart for a long time: "With your strength and means, there is no need to attach yourself to others? Why not create your own force?"

Su Xuan's means were miraculous and his strength was not bad.

Yan Lingji really could not think of anyone in this world who could compete with Su Xuan?

If there were, it would be those old monsters who had lived for many years among the famous schools.

Such old monsters were powerful, their strength reaching Grandmaster, and it was even possible they reached the legendary Heaven-Man realm.

With such strength, why attach yourself to others?

In the Han incident, although Su Xuan finally killed Bai Yifei and Ji Wuye, before that, he ultimately became a wanted criminal for various reasons, falling into a situation where everyone shouted to beat him.

Now Su Xuan's wanted order in the State of Han had not been revoked.

"Create a force? Haven't I already taken Yemu for my own use?" Su Xuan asked Yan Lingji back.

Yan Lingji shook her head: "This is ultimately different. You should know that what I am talking about is not a force like Yemu."

"Are you trying to say... compete for the world?"

Su Xuan stated Yan Lingji's true thoughts in one word.

It was not strange that Yan Lingji would have such arrogant thoughts; after all, her previous master was Tian Ze.

Although Tian Ze's strength was average and his life was full of twists and turns, he was truly a person with a heart higher than the sky.

Since being released by Bai Yifei, even if there were only a few people under his command, his goal was exceptionally magnificent from the beginning: not only to take revenge but also to become the King of Baiyue and then compete for the world.

After the enemy in the State of Han died, he had now returned to Baiyue, preparing to recruit troops and horses, plotting to rebel.

Yan Lingji nodded gently.

Su Xuan smiled: "With my strength and the means I master, using those dishonorable means to secretly control a country and join the army competing for the world is indeed not a difficult thing."

"But for me, this is a thankless task."

"Even if one day I really unify the world, it will consume a lot of time."

"What I seek is only to cultivate to a higher realm. Competing for the world myself and attaching myself to others can both obtain cultivation resources, and the latter is much easier than the former, so why not choose the latter?"

"The Qin Guo is strong and awes the world, and the Qin Wang has ambition. As long as I give him a little help, the Qin Guo will destroy the Six States and unify the world, and I will still obtain everything I possess." ===== CHAPTER 175 =====
