Chapter 98: A Single Sentence, All Tribes Tremble, An Irrefutable Stratagem

Boom!

Mu Jianxue, clad in white surpassing snow, manifested a tremendous momentum. A powerful oppressive force swept out, accompanied by myriad phenomena.

The Great Dao thundered, resonating with myriad tunes of the Dao, as countless laws roared and wailed.

A hum of a sword cry resonated, circling the entire heaven and earth.

Following that, a towering sword light, like a long river, hung in the sky, like the Milky Way pouring down. Every wisp of its breath weighed a thousand jun, each strand of sword qi capable of annihilating everything, cutting down all in its path.

Like a magnificent heavenly might, everything paled under this sweep of sword qi.

Du Guxiong, caught in the brunt of it, saw his usually composed face drastically change. In his hands, he manipulated a mystic seal, spreading an enigmatic aura that seemed to merge completely into the space.

However, the power of the sword qi was unimaginable, capable of cutting through flesh, soul, and even any Great Dao. Under this sword light, the void shattered, and Du Guxiong’s figure was fully revealed.

With a bang, Du Guxiong’s figure exploded, completely annihilated by the boundless sword qi, his physical body and soul obliterated.

Like a meteor flashing past, he dissipated in an instant.

With Mu Jianxue’s intervention, the entire situation underwent a drastic change. Especially as the Great Qin Emperor was also free to act. The pressure on the Heavenly Demons and the three Great Saints of the Gu family surged.

In just a few minutes, a Great Saint of the Gu family was slain.

Two seconds later, another Great Saint fell.

After a minute, the third Great Saint was cut down.

Finally, the remaining two Heavenly Demons were completely eradicated.

Five Great Saints, all obliterated in just a few minutes, without any survivors.

The tragic death of the Heavenly Demons caused the entire formation to collapse. It shattered like a mirror, revealing a pitch-black world, with four figures sitting in four directions.

“How is this possible!” The Heavenly Demons widened their eyes in disbelief, unable to comprehend how everyone inside had perished, especially the two great beings, completely eradicated without a chance to ponder.

A sweep of sword light cut across, eradicating the four Heavenly Demons. As everyone fell, this great battle finally drew to a close.

“Primordial Holy Master, you’re well prepared! I’m curious, how did you come by this information?” Huang Tian’s eyes gleamed brightly as he slowly spoke to the Primordial Holy Master.

This alliance of the four powers was extremely secretive, unknown to others. Even the Void Palace might not be aware of it.

However, the Primordial Holy Master knew.

This piqued Huang Tian’s curiosity. He was sure the Void Palace was unaware because he had asked them.

They indeed knew nothing. The Void Palace, mysterious in origin, had one good point – it belonged to no one place. As long as the price was paid, information could be obtained, regardless of who it was.

“A guess!” the Dongfang Mingyue said indifferently.

“Do I look like a three-year-old child?” Huang Tian almost wanted to laugh at such an excuse, even too lazy for a perfunctory response.

“Do you think I am a three-year-old child?” retorted the Primordial Holy Master, her tone slightly icy.

Her deal with Huang Tian was merely a transaction, even somewhat enemy-like. Inviting Huang Tian was only because, at this time, he was a rather handy weapon. After being used, this weapon would be discarded, not to be kept.

Huang Tian’s gaze flickered, and he said no more, his figure merging into the void, vanishing completely.

“Why didn’t we just keep Huang Tian, that old fellow?”

“We could’ve joined forces to hold him!” Pure Yang Holy Master lamented.

With so many people here, it wasn’t impossible to keep Huang Tian. After all, Huang Tian had significant influence among all foreign clans. If they had kept Huang Tian here, it would have dealt a heavy blow to the tribes.

“All brawn and no brains! Do you think Huang Tian is that foolish? To come alone without preparation? The Undying Phoenix Clan’s Emperor Weapon must be on him!”

“Moreover, the moment we dare to take action, the news will immediately be relayed back!” The Primordial Holy Master said coldly. “It will surely alarm the entire Undying Phoenix Clan and even the entirety of the foreign clans!”

“By then, the human race and the foreign clans will be stirred up, plunging the entire Nine Heavens Realm into a world of tumultuous winds and bloody rains. This is not a good thing for the human race!” The Primordial Holy Master’s gaze seemed to penetrate through layers of darkness, focusing on the territory of the myriad clans.

“It would also unite the originally infighting ancient imperial clans into a solid front. Do you think killing Huang Tian is worth it?”

“If you had the means of the Heavenly Demon, it would be another matter,” the Dongfang Mingyue added with an icy tone.

She had indeed wanted to keep Huang Tian here, but the benefits of doing so were too small. With the Ancient Desolate Demon Realm about to be unsealed, if a war between the human race and the myriad clans broke out, it would instead benefit the Ancient Desolate Demon Realm.

“That I don’t have!” Pure Yang Holy Master said helplessly. “And the Heavenly Demon’s formation is not so easy to deploy; it requires a long time.”

“You understand, that’s good,” the Dongfang Mingyue continued.

“Moreover, keeping Huang Tian is far more beneficial than killing him. After today, the entire foreign clans will be in chaos for a while. It’s just uncertain whether the True Dragon Clan will make an appearance.”

“Maybe Huang Tian won’t make a move against the Soaring Snake Clan,” Mu Jianxue said softly, maintaining a different opinion from the Primordial Holy Master.

“If he really does, it won’t benefit the Undying Phoenix Clan. Currently, the Undying Phoenix Clan is in the midst of its rise, and making a move now would completely delay future plans.”

The Pure Yang Holy Master now looked puzzled, filled with doubt and confusion. “I didn’t hear wrong, did I? Huang Tian is going to take action against the Soaring Snake Clan, isn’t he afraid of the rest of the ancient imperial families and the True Dragon Clan?”

“Humph! This guy is very ambitious; he will definitely make a move!” the Dongfang Mingyue said coldly.

“This is also a way to force the True Dragon Clan to make a choice, a kind of test. If the True Dragon Clan still avoids confrontation, the Soaring Snake Clan will be doomed. Although the ancient imperial clans are not united, there are still quite a few that follow the Undying Phoenix Clan!”

“If the True Dragon Clan still avoids confrontation, it’s not the Soaring Snake Clan that will suffer, but the Azure Dragon Clan will become the ant that gets trampled!” the Dongfang Mingyue added coldly.

“Why?” Mu Jianxue asked, still puzzled. “Huang Tian has endured for so many days; why not endure a little longer?”

“Before, he was not sure about the situation of the True Dragon Clan. After today, he is now convinced; it’s just a matter of timing,” Dongfang Mingyue explained.

Hearing this, Mu Jianxue immediately understood. Before, Huang Tian was only half-convinced, but now with the information from the Primordial Holy Master, he was almost certain in his heart.

The most important thing was that no news had leaked out from today’s gathering of the four powers. The Primordial Holy Master’s ability to foresee this didn’t that confirm the information she had previously given?

“Truly sinister!” Mu Jianxue commented rarely. “Just a few words have stirred up the peace of the entire foreign clans!”

“This isn’t sinister; this is an overt plot, a plot that Huang Tian cannot refuse and wants to see!” the Dongfang Mingyue said lightly.
