Chapter 88

“They possess the ability to sever the connection with the Dao. If you get trapped within, it will be impossible to contact the outside world, let alone summon the Emperor Weapon!”

“The true power of the Ancient Desolate Demon Realm is something you, Master, are more aware of than I am!”

Jiang Chen continued, “Inside the Ancient Desolate Demon Realm, Emperor Weapons are commonplace. If you don’t have them to contend, even with numerous powerful allies, you will ultimately be unable to withstand your enemies!”

Although the original story didn’t detail this segment thoroughly, Jiang Chen roughly understood the opponents’ plan through subsequent events.

The Heavenly Demon severed the connection with the Dao and then used a special formation to trap the disciples of the Primordial Holy Land and others, cutting them off from the outside world.

Then, using the Emperor Weapons and a few powerful beings in collaboration, even if the disciples were powerful, they were outnumbered and overwhelmed.

Moreover, for this plan, the enemies had been preparing for many years, amassing countless powerful warriors and divine weapons.

If the disciples of the Primordial Holy Land continued to underestimate the situation and entered without the Emperor Weapons, the past tragedies would repeat themselves.

Understanding this, Jiang Chen deliberately exposed himself to warn them.

“How do you know all this?” Dongfang Mingyue frowned, confused. Even the Primordial Holy Land had not received any information about this. How did her disciple know, and know so clearly?

“Did you sell yourself?” Dongfang Mingyue scrutinized Jiang Chen, half-jokingly: “Not to mention anything else, your appearance indeed might attract the attention of some immortal old beings!”

“It’s you who sold yourself!” Jiang Chen replied, frustrated, “I’m talking about serious matters here!”

“Alright, alright, I got it!” Dongfang Mingyue waved her hand, her expression turning stern: “Since they dare to move against us, naturally we will make them pay dearly!”

“Especially the Gu family!” She continued with cold fury, “As an immortal force of the human race, they collude with the foreign tribes and the Ancient Desolate Demon Realm, which is unforgivable. After this, the Gu family will be eradicated!”

“And the Soaring Snake Clan as well. We spared them for eight thousand years, yet they are ungrateful. This time, we need not consider the foreign tribes!” Her words carried an intense killing intent, capable of shaking the heavens and destroying the earth.

“Given the enemy’s thorough preparations, we need to move without alerting them!” Jiang Chen suggested, “But the Primordial Holy Land alone is not enough!”

“Master, you will need to ally with others, even the foreign tribes if necessary!” He continued, “I have already chosen the candidates for you!”

“The Ancient Imperial Clan and the Undying Phoenix Clan. The current leader of the Undying Phoenix Clan is ambitious and capable. He desires to replace the True Dragon Clan as the first among the foreign tribes, even aiming to dominate the entire Nine Heavens Realm!”

“He will definitely agree to ally with you if you let him deal with the Soaring Snake Clan. It’s an uncontrollable blade with immense power, capable of harming both others and oneself. But this time, we can use it to our advantage!”

Before Jiang Chen could finish, Dongfang Mingyue interrupted, “The Undying Phoenix Clan and the Soaring Snake Clan have a deep bond. Wouldn’t allying with them alert the enemy? Wouldn’t it reveal our entire plan?”

The foreign tribes are not a monolith, and the Ancient Imperial Clan is no exception.

There are often internal conflicts, just not openly displayed. The only exception is the close relationship between the Soaring Snake Clan and the Undying Phoenix Clan, which has lasted for over a million years.

Particularly, the Soaring Snake Clan has always been known as a follower of the Undying Phoenix Clan, a fact well-known to all. So when the Primordial Holy Master heard Jiang Chen’s plan to ally with the Undying Phoenix Clan, he was the first to sense something amiss.

Weren’t we agreed on not startling the snake by hitting the grass? Isn’t this tantamount to telling the other party our plans? It’s almost revealing everything!

“I also feel it’s not a good idea to ally with the Undying Phoenix Clan,” Murong Xue agreed.

“That’s just the surface!” Jiang Chen said with a smile that held deeper meaning.

“The two have long been at loggerheads! About 800 years ago, a tragedy occurred in the Undying Phoenix Clan, where their god son and several saints perished. You’re not unfamiliar with this incident, are you, Master?”

Jiang Chen’s knowledge of these matters took them by surprise. “You even know about this? This incident is a well-kept secret. The god son and saints of the Undying Phoenix Clan fell near the Ancient Desolate Demon Realm, rumored to be the handiwork of the Demon Realm.”

“Are you implying that the Soaring Snake Clan was behind this?” Dongfang Mingyue immediately caught on, widening her eyes in realization.

“No, not them,” Jiang Chen replied cryptically, deliberately keeping them in suspense.

“Speak up!” Dongfang Mingyue darkened in expression, threateningly said, “If you don’t, I’ll spank you and broadcast your image everywhere!”

Jiang Chen coughed awkwardly, feeling a bit helpless and embarrassed. If it were anyone else, he wouldn’t believe them, but he knew his Master would indeed do it.

Although Jiang Chen didn’t care much about these things, the thought of being ridiculed by countless people made it hard for him to bear.

“It’s the True Dragon Clan! This tragedy was orchestrated by the True Dragon Clan and the Soaring Snake Clan, with the blame thrown onto the Ancient Barren Demon Realm.”

“In reality, it was the True Dragon Clan all along. They’ve been very secretive about it, but what they don’t know is that the Undying Phoenix Clan is already aware of it. However, they chose not to seek revenge but to bide their time.”

“This is them waiting for an opportunity, a chance to completely overturn the True Dragon Clan.”

“They truly are a cunning figure, to endure even the murder of their god son. They knew that if they acted then, the Undying Phoenix Clan would gain nothing, so they chose to bide his time.”

“Indeed, to tolerate such a grievance shows their capabilities. But what gives them the confidence to think they can overthrow the True Dragon Clan?”

“They have been the dominant force among the ancient clans for so many years, seemingly unshakeable. If they couldn’t do it in the past, it would be even harder for the Undying Phoenix Clan in the future.”

“That’s because the True Dragon Clan is on the decline. They might seem prosperous, but in reality, they are like yesterday’s yellow flowers, with no successors to carry on their legacy.”
