<strong>Chapter 111</strong>


    The Azure Dragon n had a deep rtionship with the True Dragon n. If the Azure Dragon n is destroyed and the True Dragon n did not intervene, it would confirm their intentions.


    Naturally, they would have no reservations anymore. After all, the Soaring Snake n was a big piece of cake. If they could share it, it would significantly enhance their own foundation and strength.


    “But why has the True Dragon n suddenly declined?” Zhu Yan was extremely puzzled. Millennia ago, the True Dragon n was still extremely powerful and showed no signs of decline.


    Suddenly, they mysteriously retreated and disappeared, no longer active in the outside world. This was very strange, as if they had suddenly suffered a severe blow. This made Zhu Yan extremely confused.


    What had happened to cause the once-powerful True Dragon n to decline? Zhu Yan had a vague feeling that the True Dragon n was nning something big.


    What exactly it was, she did not know. But if the True Dragon n seeded, it could overturn the entire Nine Heavens Realm.


    “If that’s really the case, we can’t let the True Dragon n continue! If not, it’s a good opportunity!”


    Zhu Yan thought to herself.


    “Huang Tuan action was decisive! In just a few hours, he annihted the Azure Dragon n!”


    “It seems he’s quite certain that the True Dragon n has problems! It’s probably true!”


    “Given Huang Tian’s character, he wouldn’t dare act rashly without full confidence!” The leader of the Golden Crow n spoke softly.


    They were from the same era and understood Huang Tian well. They knew he was someone who would only act if he was confident; if he wasn’t, he wouldn’t act rashly, even if it meant swallowing his pride. Now, Fengtian’s immediate action indicated that he was indeed fully confident.


    “Soaring Snake n, oh Soaring Snake! After following the Undying Phoenix n for so many years, you chose to follow someone else at the most critical moment!” The Golden Crow n leader shook his head.


    When it came to the depth of rtionships, the Soaring Snake n was definitely a bit closer to the Undying Phoenix n. Their rtionship was almost like that between the Primordial Holy Land and the Pure Yang Holy Land – as close as brothers.


    But he hadn’t expected that at such a time, the Soaring Snake n would betray the Undying Phoenix n. And at the time when the True Dragon n was weakest, they stood on the side of the True Dragon n…


    It must be said that the choice of the Soaring Snake n was truly poor. They often chose the worst side instead of the best one.


    “The Azure Dragon n has actually been annihted!” Upon learning this news, the Soaring Snake n leader was extremely surprised. He didn’t know what Huang Tian was trying to do.


    Why would he annihte the Azure Dragon n for no reason?


    There was no conflict between the two.


    The next moment, it seemed that he thought of something, and the Soaring Snake n leader’s face drastically changed: “Could it be that the True Dragon n has encountered problems?”


    “This is Huang Tian’s way of annihting the Azure Dragon n, to test the reaction of the True Dragon n, and also to show the other ancient imperial ns!”


    “He’s preparing to annihte my n!” Thinking of these possibilities, the Soaring Snake n leader suddenly panicked. If it had been earlier, he would have had some confidence. Because with the True Dragon n standing behind him, he could deter the other ns.


    “Should the True Dragon n face tribtions, losing their prestige and deterrence, their situation will be exceedingly precarious,” the Soaring Snake n Leader pondered with a heavy heart, his thoughts in disarray.


    “Such a scenario would inevitably lead to alliances between other powers and the Undying Phoenix n.” He continued his ruminations.


    Once an alliance is formed, even the mighty Soaring Snake n will struggle to contend against such united forces. It’s akin to the old saying, ‘one fist can’t contend with four hands,’ much like the situation of the Gu family.


    Were the Gu family weak? Not in the least. Even the Primordial Holy Land had to spill blood to confront them. That, however, was under the premise of unteral action. If multiple powers join forces, the dynamics change drastically, just as when they united against the Primordial Holy Master.


    “The mere thought sends shivers down my spine,” the Soaring Snake n Leader muttered under his breath. “No, I must contact the True Dragon n immediately! And I need to reach out to the other ancient imperial ns as well!”


    His mind was a whirlwind of panic, acutely aware that if the True Dragon n fell, the Soaring Snake n would face a catastrophic downfall. Suddenly, a message arrived that left the Soaring Snake n Leader stunned and in utter despair.


    It was a message from the True Dragon n, instructing them to represent the True Dragon n in deterring the Undying Phoenix n.


    “Cursed fate!” he cursed under his breath, knowing all too well they couldn’t possibly take such a stand. The target of Huang Tian’s eradication was none other than their n.


    Now, to represent the True Dragon n was akin to announcing to the world the True Dragon n’s incapacity to act, thereby severely undermining their own prestige.


    “This will obliterate the prestige the True Dragon n has built over the years,” hemented with regret. “We should never have sided with the True Dragon n!” The Soaring Snake n was filled with resentment.


    Without the support of the True Dragon n, they were now exposed to the full brunt of the Undying Phoenix n and the other ancient imperial ns’ onught.


    “What to do?” the Soaring Snake n Leader paced back and forth anxiously, desperately searching for a way to break the impasse. But the more he thought, the more hopeless he felt. There seemed to be no way out of this predicament.


    With the Azure Dragon n annihted and the True Dragon n hidden, Huang Tian’s forces were growing stronger, not just him alone.


    Conversely, his side’s power was waning. Even the races that were once allies would likely choose to observe from the sidelines, not daring to get involved. Worse still, they might even turn into executioners for the other side.


    In a sense, the Soaring Snake n was backed into a corner with no room for maneuver. The only option left was to return to the Undying Phoenix n’s fold, an impossible scenario.


    “I may have no choice but to leave alone!” With this thought, the Soaring Snake n Leader’s eyes glinted with determination.


    As long as he survived, the annihtion of the Soaring Snake n was of no consequence to him, especially since his son had already perished at the hands of Jiang Chen.


    As the Soaring Snake n Leader prepared to make his move, unexpectedly, the high-ranking members of the Soaring Snake n had already gathered.


    At the same time, he noticed the space around him waspletely sealed, with a golden phoenix soaring in the void – the Emperor weapon of the Undying Phoenix n.


    Three days passed in the blink of an eye. Since the annihtion of the Azure Dragon n, there had been no word from the True Dragon n, as if they had vanished from this world.


    Not a single member of the True Dragon n was seen in the Nine Heavens Realm, leading to rampant spection about their whereabouts over the millennia.


    Soon, the news of the True Dragon n’s decline spread throughout the Nine Heavens Realm. On the same day, the four great ancient imperial ns joined forces, and their Emperor weapons hung in the void, enveloping the entire Soaring Snake n!
