New Father: Empress Appearing On My Doorstep With Our Daughters

Chapter 237: Turning the Tide, In the Name of a Saint!

Lin Xuan took in everyone’s expressions and couldn’t help but smile to himself.

In fact, he had deliberately sent the chess piece that Xuan Xi had thrown onto the chessboard.

After all, this was North Mystic Heaven’s territory.

Furthermore, the land from the border of the Arctic Kingdom to the Arctic Ocean was extremely important to the Arctic Kingdom.

There was no reason to watch helplessly as Sun Qiaochu lost and hand this place over to outsiders.

Besides, Lin Xuan specially stayed behind to watch the competition since his goal was to help the Arctic Kingdom win this battle and completely resolve the problem with Mulberry Cloud Island.

Therefore, this move was deliberately arranged by Lin Xuan.

Man Hongjun looked at Lin Xuan with admiration and then turned to Yelu Jinqi.

“Your Majesty, we once agreed to use Samurai Chess to determine the winner.”

“But there’s no rule about who should play this game, right?”

Yelu Jinqi sensed a conspiracy from Man Hongjun’s words.

However, they indeed hadn’t stipulated who could play chess and who couldn’t.

So he nodded and said, “That’s right!”

“Alright!” Man Hongjun hurriedly turned around and bowed to Lin Xuan respectfully. “Consort, please help us play this chess game!”

He felt that Xuan Xi could easily crack the chess game of the Yellow Dragon Chess Saint, Nie Yuanheng.

If they asked Lin Xuan to take action, they believed that they would definitely be able to reverse the situation and defeat Nie Yuanheng in the chess game.

As for the chess warriors below, he wasn’t worried.

After all, other than Cao Qiang, they also had two Supremacy Realm powerhouses.

With the three of them present and Lin Xuan’s unparalleled superb chess skills, they would definitely win!

Yelu Jinqi and Nie Yuanheng couldn’t help but reveal worried expressions.

After Xuan Xi’s incident, they had no doubt that Lin Xuan was a rare chess genius.

If Lin Xuan agreed, it meant that he was absolutely confident in defeating Nie Yuanheng.

“Okay.” Seeing that Man Hongjun took the initiative to say this, Lin Xuan naturally agreed.

Man Hongjun and the others from the Arctic Kingdom revealed delighted expressions.

The Consort had agreed to personally take action, which meant that he was certain of victory!

As for Yelu Jinqi, Nie Yuanheng, and the others from the Mulberry Cloud Island, they were instantly dejected.

They had a strong premonition that Lin Xuan would bring immense pressure to the Mulberry Cloud Island Kingdom.

Unlike everyone else, who had different thoughts, when they saw that Lin Xuan was about to make a move, the little girls were extremely excited and clenched their fists to cheer Lin Xuan on.

“Daddy is going up. We wish you all the best!”

“Daddy is the best. You must win!”

“I’m Daddy’s strongest supporter!”

“Me and Little Nine are Daddy’s strongest supporters too! Daddy will definitely win!”

Seeing how cute the little girls were while encouraging him, Lin Xuan rubbed their little heads dotingly.

Then, Lin Xuan stopped smiling and looked at Yelu Jinqi calmly.

“This chess game isn’t over yet, but to be fair, the move my daughter unintentionally took just now doesn’t count.”

Not only were Yelu Jinqi and the others shocked, but even the Arctic Kingdom was shocked.

“What the Consort means is that he wants to take another step to resolve the dilemma the Yellow Dragon Chess Saint created. How bold!”

“As expected of the Consort. He can even think of so many methods in such a difficult situation. How impressive!”

“There’s gonna be interesting drama to watch!”

Although Lin Xuan’s words were arrogant, no one present felt that he was spouting nonsense.

Yelu Jinqi nodded and said, “Alright, we’ll do as the Consort says!”

Lin Xuan nodded slightly and said, “Since you want to compete, increase the stakes.”

Yelu Jinqi’s expression changed slightly.

He had a feeling that Lin Xuan was digging a trap for him to jump into.

However, at this point, Yelu Jinqi could only bite the bullet and ask,

“How do you want to bet, Consort?”

Lin Xuan smiled slightly. “It’s very simple. If you lose, the Mulberry Cloud Island will submit to North Mystic Heaven forever and protect the sea area within a hundred thousand nautical miles of the Arctic Kingdom.”

At this point, Yelu Jinqi could only grit his teeth and agree. “Alright, let’s do as the Consort says!”

After saying that, he couldn’t help but look at Nie Yuanheng.

According to his understanding, the reason why Nie Yuanheng could become a legendary figure in the chess world of the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm was because of the Yellow Dragon Dao.

The Yellow Dragon Dao was to be able to use a brilliant move in a hopeless situation in a chess game and achieve victory in adversity.

Therefore, even if Lin Xuan was very powerful, Yelu Jinqi was still confident in Nie Yuanheng.

After all, Nie Yuanheng had cultivated chess for more than twenty thousand years. His strength had been tested by countless powerhouses.

Not to mention, he had already obtained an advantage in this chess game.

And Xuan Xi’s move just now had already been vetoed by Lin Xuan himself.

Nie Yuanheng had no reason to lose to Lin Xuan when he had the advantage!

Nie Yuanheng also nodded at Yelu Jinqi. He had already secretly circulated his true essence.

The Yellow Dragon Dao’s true chess technique instantly stirred up millions of chess moves in his mind, causing his entire body to emit the light of a Saint.

“Consort, please go ahead!”

Lin Xuan smiled slightly and moved his finger to let the Red Commander chess piece fly out. “Five in!”

Huh?

The emperor would personally lead the expedition?

Seeing his move, Sun Qiaochu and Nie Yuanheng were stunned.

Because they discovered that the Red Commander chess piece was originally surrounded by black chess pieces.

Taking another step now was tantamount to courting death.

However, neither of them felt that Lin Xuan’s move was wrong. Instead, they suspected that there was a deeper meaning to it.

However, the two of them thought about it for a moment but couldn’t discern Lin Xuan’s intention.

Nie Yuanheng gritted his teeth and could only let a black car in his hand charge forward. “Car three in three!”

Lin Xuan smiled. “Three back!”

Nie Yuanheng’s expression changed drastically. “Shit!”

He suddenly realized that his carriage, horse, and cannon were all surrounded by Lin Xuan.

At this moment, Lin Xuan turned the tables on the chessboard.

In just two steps, not only had he resolved the predicament, but he had also designed a huge trap for Nie Yuanheng.

On the square of the palace, the three Supremacy Realm cultivators led by Cao Qiang had already surrounded a Supremacy Realm cultivator and two Spirit Stage chess warriors.

Be it chess pieces or chess warriors, Lin Xuan was definitely in the lead.

As long as Lin Xuan killed Nie Yuanheng, this chess game would basically be a complete victory.

Nie Yuanheng looked at the chessboard carefully for a long time and his body trembled slightly. He cupped his hands and said,

“The Consort’s chess moves contain great wisdom. Every step is unpredictable.”

“My three most important chess pieces have already fallen into a hopeless situation. No matter which step I take now, it’s all over. There’s no turning back!”

His words shocked everyone present.

Was the mighty Yellow Dragon Chess Saint admitting defeat just like that?

Yelu Jinqi hurriedly said, “Nie Qisheng, you’re a person who received the Yellow Dragon’s teachings. Think of a way to turn the situation around. After all, we still have many chess pieces!”

Nie Yuanheng shook his head and smiled bitterly. He gestured on the chessboard with his hand.

“Your Majesty, please take a look. Our carriages and cannons have all been sealed off. Which chess piece can we use to threaten the other party?”

Yelu Jinqi was also a chess expert. After observing for a long time, he shook his head.

He could also tell that the entire chess game had fallen into a hopeless situation.

As a result, the chess warriors below were also weak warriors surrounded by the strong. Their chances of victory were slim.

It could be said that this was a complete defeat!

“The Consort’s chess skills are really unfathomable. Who would have thought that he would defeat the Yellow Dragon Chess Saint so easily?” Yelu Jinqi wailed inside.

Nie Yuanheng and Yelu Jinqi shook their heads and sighed.

Everyone from Mulberry Cloud Island couldn’t help but reveal looks of defeat.

In contrast, the Arctic Kingdom was in a festive mood.

“The Consort only used two moves to reverse the situation and make the Yellow Dragon Chess Saint admit defeat. How impressive!”

“Compared to the Consort, the Yellow Dragon Chess Saint’s name is really undeserved. I think in the world, only the Consort can be called the Chess Saint!”

“The Consort’s chess skills are at the grandmaster level and he’s called a Saint. How admirable!”

…

The praises resonated in the palace of the Arctic Kingdom.
