Chapter 544

From the Decayed Fairy, Lu Yang had long known the Ying Tian Immortal and knew all kinds of things about him, from before he became famous to after he became an immortal.

It was the first time he had faced the Ying Tian Immortal like this today.

The Ying Tian Immortal was wearing a light blue robe with wide cuffs and wave patterns on the lapels. He was handsome and had an extraordinary bearing. His gold-plated pupils made him look majestic, like an emperor.

"According to the Decayed Fairy, it was the Ying Tian Immortal and the Qilin Immortal playing chess. Does that mean the one sitting opposite is the Qilin Immortal?"

Lu Yang looked at the other chess player.

The Qilin Immortal had two coral horns on his head, and there were red scales on his cheeks and the back of his hands. His eyes were like a dragon's and a tiger's, revealing a fierce aura. This was not a sign of incomplete transformation, but where his dignity as a Qilin lay.

He was the only Qilin in the world. Transforming into a human form was just to facilitate communication with the other four immortals. Since that was the case, there was no need to completely turn into a human, and retaining Qilin characteristics was his pride.

The Qilin Immortal wore a black robe. Looking closely, one would find that the black robe was embroidered with patterns of ten thousand beasts. This was clothing that only he, the Qilin Immortal, the immortal of ten thousand beasts, was qualified to wear.

"A reflection of history?"

Lu Yang was startled. This was exactly the same as the story told by the Transmission Elder—accidentally entering an immortal realm and seeing two immortals playing chess.

Although immortals stood at the pinnacle of the cultivation system, they wouldn't leave a reflection of history in every move they made. Otherwise, wouldn't the whole world be able to see immortals?

The reason why a reflection could be left here was that this chess game involved the hundred-year time of three immortals, and their power interfered with space.

"Wait, that's not right either. The Transmission Elder said Mr. Tian Kui only saw the immortals, but the immortals' faces were blurred. Why do I see them clearly?"

"Could it be that I have..."

"Of course, it's because this immortal is here." The Decayed Fairy's boisterous voice sounded. Lu Yang turned his head and saw the Decayed Fairy in a yellow dress appearing beside him, her body slightly floating, as tall as Lu Yang.

This was a reflection of history, and her appearance would not be discovered by Qiu Jinan and the others.

"Fairy, you are here too?"

Lu Yang thought about it and realized it was right. He could see the reflection of history, so there was no reason why the Decayed Fairy couldn't.

"What are you saying? Without this immortal, could you see these two stinky chess players? It was the resonance between this immortal and the reflection of history they left behind that created this scene." The Decayed Fairy pointed at the Ying Tian Immortal and the Qilin Immortal.

As soon as the Decayed Fairy appeared, the longing for immortals that Lu Yang had just generated vanished instantly.

"What's going on with Mr. Tian Kui? Did he just happen to catch the last scene of the history reflection reappearing?"

"I reckon it was the Ying Tian Immortal who set it up."

"Ying Tian Immortal?" Lu Yang's expression was strange. Wouldn't it be bad to say this in front of the Ying Tian Immortal?

The Decayed Fairy didn't care about this. Never mind a phantom, she would dare to say it even if the real Ying Tian Immortal came.

"You got one thing backward. It's not because Mr. Tian Kui could see the reflection of history that he realized the Five Elements Combat Art, but because he could realize the Five Elements Combat Art that he was qualified to see the reflection of history."

"No one saw the reflection of history afterward, not because the reflection of history dissipated, but because future generations couldn't realize anything from the chessboard, and it wouldn't be impressive to spread that."

"..."

Lu Yang once again felt the painstaking efforts of the Ying Tian Immortal.

The Ying Tian Immortal and the Qilin Immortal continued to play chess. Every time a chess piece fell, there would be a light *clack* sound.

Just listening to the sound, Lu Yang felt as if his soul had been washed and sublimated.

"Playing chess so fast?"

Can these two play for a hundred years at this speed?

Twenty minutes would be a stretch.

"What's the point of watching these two stinky chess players play? This immortal will speed up the process," the Decayed Fairy said lazily.

Who would be like that fool Tian Kui, watching chess for a hundred years?

"So you two are playing chess here. I finally found you." The voice of a third ancient immortal came, and it was the founder of Gomoku, the Jiu Chong Immortal.

The Jiu Chong Immortal was dressed simply, wearing hemp clothes and a straw raincoat, walking in wetly, as if it were raining outside at that time. He held an axe in his hand and carried the firewood he had just chopped, looking exactly like an old woodcutter farmer.

The only difference was that the firewood he carried was dry.

"Huo, isn't this Wutong wood? Did the Suiyue Immortal tell you to chop it?" the Ying Tian Immortal laughed.

"You two still have the nerve to talk. The Suiyue Immortal asked me to call you two to eat, but you two are hiding here playing chess. How many years have passed, and you still haven't finished!"

"What's the rush? It's rare for us to have a chance to decide the winner. Can't we play a good game? Do you understand that every step must be considered?"

"You go eat first, and we will follow."

The Jiu Chong Immortal curled his lips. At the speed you two are playing, you won't finish in fifty years.

And you ask me if I understand? I created Gomoku. Do you understand better than me?

"Forget it, I'll watch here, so you don't play a second game after finishing one." The Jiu Chong Immortal found a reason for himself to stay here and watched the chess game with peace of mind.

"Suiyue Immortal?" Lu Yang frowned and muttered to himself. How could it be the Suiyue Immortal who asked the Jiu Chong Immortal to chop wood and call the Ying Tian Immortal and the Qilin Immortal to eat?

Shouldn't it be the Decayed Fairy?

Lu Yang was suddenly startled and understood.

That's right. The ancient black hand used unknowable means to erase the Decayed Fairy's information. Even the reflection of history was no exception and had to be erased and replaced.

For example, Mr. Tian Kui might have learned of the Decayed Fairy's existence from the reflection of history.

It was too difficult to directly erase the Decayed Fairy, and it was easy to have logical loopholes and be discovered. The best way was to replace her with an existence of the same level.

This was how the scene where the Decayed Fairy was replaced by the Suiyue Immortal in the dialogue appeared.

However, judging from the fact that Mr. Tian Kui didn't know who the immortals playing chess and chopping wood were, he probably couldn't understand the ancient language.

Lu Yang learned the ancient language under the guidance of the Decayed Fairy. The cultivation world had experienced a historical break, and it was not easy to translate the ancient language, let alone speak and listen to it.

Lu Yang used his peripheral vision to secretly observe the Decayed Fairy's reaction, only to see the Decayed Fairy gritting her teeth: "Which bastard covered up this immortal's existence!"

As she spoke, she began to move her body, preparing to have a big fight with the mastermind behind the scenes at any time.

"Who!" the Jiu Chong Immortal suddenly shouted, turning his head to stare at the position of Lu Yang and the Decayed Fairy.

Lu Yang even felt that for a moment, he had made eye contact with the Jiu Chong Immortal.

After the Jiu Chong Immortal shouted, the Ying Tian Immortal and the Qilin Immortal also reacted suddenly and looked at the position of Lu Yang and the Decayed Fairy.

Although they couldn't see anyone, they could vaguely feel that there was someone here!

The three of them were hiding from the Decayed Fairy and were feeling guilty. At this time, someone was hiding in the dark, so their reactions were naturally intense.

"No, with the strength of the three of us, how could we not see someone hiding? The Suiyue Immortal couldn't do this either. Could it be that the Suiyue Immortal is using the Suiyue Dao Fruit to watch us in the future?"
