"It's open! It's open!" everyone cried out in delight while they all looked at Lin Mufeng with an impressed look.
The Chess Fanatic jolted. His dull eyes instantly sparkled as the game kept unfolding in his mind. He mumbled to himself, "I see… I see… I understand now… I understand now…"
Lin Mufeng looked at the stone wall and said to him, "Why don't you come in with us?"
"No need. I already got what I needed. I'll wait outside." The Chess Fanatic waved as he staggered to a nearby corner and sat cross-legged. His mind was still replaying the game from earlier.
"Thank you for your help." The other cultivators thanked Lin Mufeng and turned into light. Then, they headed into the secret border.
Lin Mufeng and Old Man Sun exchanged a look and said, "Let's go in. That's all the expert can help us with. If we still fail to complete the mission, we don't deserve to see him again!"
…
Five days passed by quickly.
