Chapter 101

Some of the elders hesitated, always looking back and forth, believing that the alliance of all clans was unbreakable and that humans wouldn’t dare to act. But history had shown otherwise, with the Primordial Holy Master disregarding the alliance and acting on her own.

This fact had already been demonstrated to everyone – the Primordial Holy Master feared no one, and the alliance of clans was not as solid as imagined.

“If I didn’t agree, the Soaring Snake Clan would have been divided by the human race,” Huang Tian said coldly. “By agreeing, the Soaring Snakes will be consumed by us. Besides, after all these years, it’s time for them to pay for their betrayal!”

“But what if the True Dragon Clan intervenes?” asked an elder.

“Why fear the True Dragon Clan’s intervention?” Huang Tian retorted. “If the True Dragon Clan was still as powerful as before, why would they hide for ten thousand years? Have you seen any powerful figures from the True Dragon Clan emerge during this time, or them being as domineering as before?”

This statement made the elders realize the current situation. The True Dragon Clan’s longstanding reputation had been so formidable that it was hard to imagine their decline.

But now, Huang Tian’s revelation made them reconsider. The True Dragon Clan, known for its domineering nature, wouldn’t have remained hidden for so many years if nothing had happened within their ranks.

“But, Clan Leader, if we act alone, it might be inappropriate,” another elder continued.

“Fools!” the Clan Leader rebuked. “For such a significant matter, we can’t monopolize the spoils alone. We must bring in other ancient imperial clans to share the bounty. Even if the news about the True Dragon Clan is false, they wouldn’t dare to act rashly against us in the future.”

“Do you think the True Dragon Clan still possesses the strength to sweep through several clans as they did in their prime?” he asked with a cold laugh.

For the Great Qin Dynasty, there were only two lifelong goals: becoming an emperor and solving the curse, both daunting tasks.

The former required immense talent, strength, and a bit of fortune. Sometimes, a sudden windfall of luck could lead to a dramatic increase in power, helping one stand victorious in the struggle for power.

“Now, let’s prepare for the next steps,” the Emperor instructed. “The Primordial Holy Land will likely target the Gu family next. Keep this information confidential.”

The emergence of the Gu family sealed their fate. Their alliance with the Heavenly Demons alone condemned them, breaching an unbreakable rule amongst all forces. Additionally, their audacity to strike against the Primordial Holy Land was a clear death wish.

“Gu family also made a move?” Qin Ruhu responded in shock. This was unexpected, considering the Gu family’s typically low profile.

“Yes, they sent out three Great Saints, a major blow to them,” the Emperor said calmly. “Their regret for provoking the Supreme Holy Land must be immense by now.”

To the Emperor, the Gu family’s fate was sealed the moment they allied with the Heavenly Demons. Their life or death mattered little compared to the resources they could extract from them.

“This involvement wasn’t small; even the Pure Yang Holy Land was part of it. When dividing the Gu family’s assets, make sure our people pick the most valuable items,” the Emperor advised.

“Brother, if the Gu family hears about your plans, they’ll curse you,” Qin Ruhu joked.

“What do their words matter to me?” the Emperor replied indifferently.

As the matter concluded, the Nine Heavens Realm didn’t settle into peace. Instead, undercurrents surged, resembling the eerie calm before a storm.
