My Stunning Beauty Special Agent Wife-Chapter 729 - 728 Deadlock (1/3)

Negotiation matters?

Everyone suddenly quieted down, looking at Kunze and blinking.

They really couldn't understand, why negotiate when they could just kill him directly?

If they directly killed Yang Chen, wouldn't everything be resolved?

Silence fell among the group.

Finally, the Third Elder couldn't help but say, "Forgive me for speaking plainly, but why should we compromise with a fledgling youth when we clearly have the power?"

"Fledgling youth?" Kunze snorted coldly, looking at the Grand Elder.

The Grand Elder walked to the corner and shouted, "Close the door!"

The disciples outside heard him and immediately shut the door.

Then, the Grand Elder operated something in the corner, and suddenly, the surroundings grew silent.

"It's actually..." Everyone was startled.

Within the Sect, apart from the main sect's grand formation which operates autonomously, all other Arrays consume precious inherited resources that are extremely scarce.

They didn't expect the Grand Elder would use the sound isolation Array at this moment.

"Now!" Kunze said solemnly, "What I am about to say is confidential and absolutely must not be leaked, or else you will be treated as a traitor!"

Upon hearing this, everyone shivered involuntarily.

Being labeled a traitor is not a light accusation!

If declared a traitor, one's cultivation would be abolished, and one would be thrown down the mountain of the Sect to await death.

The so-called abolition of cultivation is almost like breaking your limbs, leaving you disabled.

Thrown down the Sect's hill, you would be dead within a week!

They looked at Kunze, unsure of what important things he had to say.

Kunze said solemnly, "Yang Chen, like the Saintess, is extremely important to our Sect. So, put away your murderous intent!"

"Why?" The Third Elder was extremely puzzled.

Kun Bai was even less convinced, asking loudly, "How is he important? The Saintess is what the Sect needs, do we really need a Saint Heir too!"

"I think it is feasible!" Kunze said blandly.

Kun Bai's eyes widened, full of disbelief.

Originally, the emergence of a Saintess already made his position in the Sect quite precarious, and now a Saint Heir was emerging, both of whom he had injured in the past; how could he continue to live in the Sect?

Wouldn't he be living in fear all the time?

The Fifth Elder frowned and said, "Sect Master, I don't understand your meaning, we know the Sect has a Saintess, but how does a Saint Heir appear? What does this mean?"

Kunze thought for a moment and explained, "You can consider Yang Chen as akin to a Saint Heir, although the Sect naturally doesn't have a Saint Heir. But if the Sect wishes to revive, Yang Chen's presence is indispensable. This is because..." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

Kunze began to explain Yang Chen's importance, the purpose of this visit to Jin Chen, and some significant decisions.

...

Jin Chen.

The Ye family.

After chatting with Master Ye, the group walked out of the kitchen and strolled in the courtyard.

Under the camphor tree in the courtyard, Master Ye insisted on playing a game of chess with Yang Chen.

Before Yang Chen could agree, Ye Liangcai had already brought out the chess set.

Helplessly, Yang Chen could only brace himself and sit down, ready to play a game with Master Ye.

As soon as he sat down, Master Ye confidently said, "It's been years, hope you can hold out a little longer."

Hearing this, Yang Chen laughed, couldn't help but say, "Sir, there's a saying, I wonder if you've heard of it."

"What saying?"

"Jiutian River's waves push forward the old one."

Master Ye raised an eyebrow, smiling at Yang Chen, "Young man, I like your vigor! All these years I've been waiting for such a wave! But to be honest, if this were ancient times or during a war, I might believe it, but now... it still requires practice to prove, sometimes big talk isn't so easily spoken."

While the two were chatting, Ye Liangcai had already set up the chess pieces, Yang Chen held the red chess pieces, and Master Ye held the black.

"According to age, you begin." Yang Chen indicated.

Master Ye glanced at Yang Chen, smiled slightly, and moved the cannon forward.

Seeing this, Yang Chen was unfazed, gently moving a pawn.

Master Ye made bold moves, directly using his cannon to attack a soldier.

Yang Chen remained unfazed, advancing his cannon.

For a moment, the two moved back and forth, Master Ye's situation was fierce, pressing step by step. Yang Chen was leisurely, advancing and retreating freely, indifferent to the world.

At this moment, Zhou Qinghe also arrived.

Ye Liangcai saw him but did not let him disturb the chess game between the two.

So, Zhou Qinghe stood aside, watching the game.

Master Ye, worthy of being a leader, possessed the demeanor of a general, making bold moves, attacking fiercely, pressing step by step, almost breaching the palace.

Looking at Yang Chen, although seemingly absent-minded, he just happened to avoid Master Ye's attacks, or used other pieces to entangle them, each piece was interconnected.

If Master Ye wanted to swallow Yang Chen's piece, he had to have the courage of a to cut one's losses; coming and going, Master Ye was extremely uncomfortable, feeling constrained everywhere.

Above the chessboard, the two went back and forth, fighting splendidly, with each move deeply entwined, every move was astonishing.

After a while, Yang Chen suddenly raised his head and said to Master Ye, "Sir, actually, ancient people's thoughts are profound; although this is chess, it shares the same strategies as Go. Though the manner of playing is different, strategies and tactics are still important; if your next move is wrong, you might lose."

"Lose?" Master Ye raised an eyebrow, examining the chessboard carefully.

Master Ye estimated every possible move of Yang Chen's pieces, but he couldn't find any piece that could checkmate him?

No matter how he viewed it, he couldn't see how he had lost.

Ye Liangcai and Zhou Qinghe, next to him, also closely observed the chessboard.

They also couldn't see any sign of loss for Master Ye, it actually seemed that Master Ye still held the advantage.

However, they understood that Yang Chen would certainly not exaggerate, claiming he would win, because in such expert games, one typically has a good grasp of the opponent's piece movements, and such psychological strategies have little effect.

Master Ye smiled slightly, "Don't scare me, old man. Check!"

Master Ye moved his knight, checking.

Seeing this, Yang Chen couldn't help but sigh, "You've lost!"

Saying that, Yang Chen took flight with his cannon, capturing the knight.

Master Ye's adjacent chariot had been waiting for a long time, capturing Yang Chen's cannon.

Yang Chen's chariot naturally came up and captured Master Ye's chariot, then said, "Checkmate!"

Hearing this, Master Ye's face suddenly changed!

At this time, the chessboard had entirely transformed.

Yang Chen's chariot was directly across from the black general.

Oppositely, the cannon was also targeting the general.

Meanwhile, two knights were already in position, forming an unbreakable joint trap.

Most importantly, an unnoticed pawn had reached the top; one more step and it could capture the general!

Clearly, this was already a dead end!
