<strong>Chapter 101</strong>


    Some of the elders hesitated, always looking back and forth, believing that the alliance of all ns 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 ns was not as solid as imagined.


    “If I didn’t agree, the Soaring Snake n 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 n intervenes?” asked an elder.


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


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


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


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


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


    “Do you think the True Dragon n still possesses the strength to sweep through several ns as they did in their prime?” he asked with a coldugh.


    “This n is not just about taking down the Soaring Snake n. It’s also about attracting other forces and testing the True Dragon n’s current depth. If the True Dragon n continues to hide, it will confirm that they indeed face troubles.”


    “It would be best if the Azure Dragon n falls along with them,” the Fifth Elder said through gritted teeth. “The Azure Dragon n, closely tied to the True Dragon n, has long caused discontent by acting recklessly under the protection of their ‘big daddy’ in the Nine Heavens Realm.”


    “If it weren’t for the True Dragon n, this arrogant n would have been annihted countless times.”


    “Indeed! Contact the White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Golden Crow ns,” he stated coldly.


    “This time, I intend to expose the True Dragon n, revealing their true depth to all beings. I also n to annihte the Soaring Snake n, making an example of them for other forces, showing the fate of traitors.”


    As he spoke, not a single elder raised an objection. If his words held truth, the n was entirely beneficial for the Undying Phoenix n, promising no loss.


    “The Primordial Holy Master sure likes to y tricks,” grumbled the Emperor of Great Qin upon returning to his pce. Not out of anger, but rather dissatisfaction with the Holy Master’s mysterious ways. “Why keep such secrets?” he wondered.


    “Brother, you’re back! How did it go?” Qin Ruhu rushed in eagerly, asking with urgency.


    “I am back,” the Emperor replied wearily. “The issue is resolved, but the Primordial Holy Master didn’t disclose how to lift the curse. She said we’ll only find out after the Supreme Pce opens.”


    Qin Ruhu’s eyes widened in disbelief. “Brother, why wait until the Supreme Pce opens? Is the Holy Master ying us? Making us work for nothing?”


    “That’s unlikely,” the Emperor pondered. “The Primordial Holy Land wouldn’t trick us over such matters. They’re strong enough not to need such deceit. They must know the curse’s origin and likely its solution, which probably lies within the Supreme Pce.”


    Qin Ruhu sighed, “I hope that’s true. Lifting the curse would be a great achievement for our generation.”


    For the Great Qin Dynasty, there were only two lifelong goals: bing 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 littlepared 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 ns, 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.
