Chapter 572: Spirit Locking Chessboard

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Ye Jiushang agreed to the Ghost King’s request and came to see the Heavenly Saints Emperor.
The man aged ten years in less than a day. He was hallucinating and often had nightmares at night. He tortured himself half to death, barely hanging on his last breath.
The Ghost King did not want Heavenly Saints Emperor to die. No matter how much he hated him, he had never wanted him to die. Therefore, when he found out that Heavenly Saints Emperor was going to depart from this world, he sent an imperial physician over. Unfortunately, it was useless. He had lost his will to live. His only request was to see Ye Jiushang.
Despite his feelings, the Ghost King tried his best to satisfy his dying father’s dying wish. Therefore, he did not hesitate to personally invite Ye Jiushang.
When Ye Jiushang arrived at the Cold Palace, the Heavenly Saints Emperor had already set up the chessboard. He revealed a strange smile. “You’re here. Play one last game of chess with me.”!!
“You called me here for this?” Ye Jiushang felt that the Heavenly Saints Emperor was a little strange. Putting up his guard, he sat down and picked up a chess piece. After placing the piece down, he sensed that something was wrong with the chessboard. He wanted to retract his hand, but it got stuck to the chessboard by a powerful suction force.
The Heavenly Saints Emperor laughed maniacally. “Haha… Ye Jiushang, I thought you were smart and powerful. It turns out that you’re only so-so. You easily fell into someone else’s trap. Haha…”
Ye Jiushang already knew that this was a trap, a carefully set trap. Ignoring the Heavenly Saints Emperor’s laughter, he thought of a way to escape. The chessboard was too strange. It sucked on his hand and did not let go. Furthermore, the power was increasing as if the chessboard wanted to suck him inside.
“This is the Spirit Locking Chessboard.”
He had never expected the Heavenly Saints Emperor to have this item. No, this Spirit Locking Chessboard definitely did not belong to the Heavenly Saints Emperor.
With his ability, he could not set up this trap. There must be an even stronger mastermind behind it.
“I don’t know what kind of chessboard this is. The Asura Envoy said that this thing could trap you. I didn’t believe it, but now I do. Ye Jiushang, you’re only so-so. Haha…”
“Asura Envoy? So you have dealings with the Asura Hall. Do you think this thing can really hold me down?” Ye Jiushang said with a cold smile. Although he could not escape for a while, this chessboard could not trap him for long. It would only last for an hour.
“As long as I can trap you for fifteen minutes, that’s enough. Don’t you think you’re very smart? Then guess why I want to delay you?”
Ye Jiushang frowned, and his expression instantly turned extremely ugly. His entire body emitted a terrifying killing intent as he said coldly, “If anything happens to my consort, I will let you have a taste of hell.”
The other party’s target was not him but Xin’er.
The situation was clearly under control, but the Heavenly Saints Emperor still felt afraid. He said with a trembling voice, “Don’t try to frighten me. The Asura Envoy said that as long as I can trap you for fifteen minutes, everything will end. I’ll obtain a long life and continue to rule the Heavenly Saints Empire.”
As long as he completed the mission, his fate would change.
This was his last chance. He would not let it go.
