The Jiufeng Imperial Clan
Nine-Phoenix Continent.
Surrounded by mountains and rivers, a colossal tree stands tall on the earth, its thick trunk resembling the body of True Dragon. Abundant Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi and earth converges like rivers flowing into the sea, transforming into drifting Spiritual Mist that shrouds its dense branches and leaves. In the Spiritual Mist, divine birds often rise and fall, chasing and frolicking.
This is the treasure of the Nine Phoenix Realm, the Fire Parasol Tree, which is of the highest Sixth Tier, Supreme Grade. In terms of its foundation, it can even be compared with some Seventh Tier Spirit Trees. If it hadn't lacked consciousness, this Spirit Tree would have already broken through to the Void Refinement Realm and Ascension to the Upper Realm.
The one who controls this precious tree is naturally the overlord of the Nine Phoenix Realm, the Jiufeng Imperial Clan.
At the top of the Fire Parasol Tree's canopy sits a continuous cluster of Palaces, shrouded in mist and clouds, ethereal and otherworldly.
One by one, powerful members of the Nine-Phoenix Clan, who had transformed into human form, along with representatives from the other six continents, lined up in two long rows, ascending the steps formed by white clouds to participate in the court assembly of the Nine-Phoenix Dynasty.
In the exceptionally spacious Palace, pearls adorned the space, their brilliance dazzling. Celestial music often echoed, clearing the mind and dispelling all distracting thoughts.
"We pay our respects to Your Imperial Lord!" The numerous powerful figures bowed in unison, bowing respectfully to the Nine Phoenix Emperor, who sat on the throne, clad in a crimson imperial robe and exuding a majestic aura.
"Rise, my lords!" The Nine Phoenix Emperor smiled faintly. "Take a seat!"
After the many powerful figures were seated, Prince Wu Feng, who was standing on the left and ranked first, spoke up, "Your Imperial Lord, the Interface War has been going on for nearly three months, and our realm has already grasped the basic situation of the Lu Wu Realm and the Qiongqi Realm."
The Lu Wu Realm is rich in resources, with trillions of beings at the lower levels, far exceeding the Qiongqi Realm. Its war potential is far greater; we should go all out to eliminate it as soon as possible to prevent it from growing stronger in war and posing a threat to our realm.
"Does Prince Wu Feng mean to concentrate the main forces to deal with the Lu Wu Realm?" Nine Phoenix Emperor asked in a calm tone.
"Exactly!" Prince Wu Feng nodded.
"Do any of you have any other opinions?" The Nine Phoenix Emperor looked around below.
Many powerful figures kept their eyes down, their noses fixed on their mouths, and remained silent.
Prince Wu Feng is an absolute powerhouse, and no one wants to offend him.
Seeing this, the Jiufeng Imperial Clan member's expression remained unchanged, but his eyes seemed to grow even more profound.
At this moment, a Nine Phoenix Crown Prince with red hair, a fair complexion, three flames on his forehead, and unparalleled good looks, stood up.
He first glanced at Prince Wu Feng, then said calmly, "Father, I think that although Uncle Wu Feng's words are not wrong, they are not the best solution."
Throughout history, the best strategy in warfare has always been to use the large to attack the small, and the strong to attack the weak; one should always pick on the weakest target.
The Qiongqi Realm is weaker, and due to its neglect of the lower realms, its war potential is low. Furthermore, given the solid foundation and forward base our realm has established in the Qiongqi Realm, if we want to concentrate our forces to deal with one of these two realms, the best choice is the Qiongqi Realm!
As soon as he finished speaking, Nine Phoenix Crown Prince sat down again, facing Prince Wu Feng to the east and west respectively. The tension between them was palpable to everyone.
The representative of the Eastern King Sect curled his lips into a mocking smile, but quickly concealed it.
Representatives from other races, including the Demon Race, all looked up at the sky, as if there was something interesting on the dome of the hall.
These people are all high-ranking members of the Nine Phoenix Realm, so they naturally know the current situation of the Jiufeng Imperial Clan.
The conflict between the Nine Phoenix Emperor's lineage and the Prince Wu Feng's lineage has lasted for hundreds of years, and it all started with the throne.
The position of the current Nine Phoenix Emperor was not obtained in a particularly honorable way.
It's important to know that the previous Imperial Lord's designated successor was Prince Wu Feng, but in the end, it was Nine Phoenix Emperor sat on the throne...
"What do you all think? Is it better to attack the Lu Wu Realm or the Qiongqi Realm?" Nine Phoenix Emperor asked again, this time with a more serious tone.
"Your Imperial Lord, the Nine Phoenix Realm is far stronger than the other two realms. Why don't we attack them simultaneously?"
"Since Prince Wu Feng proposed attacking the Lu Wu Realm and the Crown Prince proposed attacking the Qiongqi Realm, then let them each lead their troops to attack one of the realms!" An Explosive Flame Divine Ape clad in crimson Battle Armor stepped forward, speaking casually and nonchalantly.
This is the Left Commander of the Explosive Flame Demon Kingdom, in charge of the Demon Kingdom's military forces.
But as soon as he finished speaking, a series of cold gazes swept over him; these were all powerful figures from Prince Wu Feng's faction.
"You damned monkey, why didn't you suggest that the Crown Prince attack Lu Wu Realm?" The Prince Huo Wu stood up, his eyes glaring angrily at the Explosive Flame Divine Ape.
Prince Huo Wu and Prince Wu Feng are brothers and have the closest relationship; he is a staunch supporter of the latter.
Upon hearing Prince Huo Wu's words, Explosive Flame Left Commander Zuoyu chuckled, feigning innocence as he shrugged and said, "Wasn't it Prince Wu Feng who volunteered to attack Lu Wu Realm? Did I mishear?"
Upon hearing this, Prince Huo Wu stomped his feet in anger. Just as he was about to retort, Prince Wu Feng pulled him back.
The number two figure in the Nine-Phoenix Dynasty maintained a calm expression throughout, displaying extraordinary demeanor. He glanced at Explosive Flame Left Commander without showing anger or blame.
But it was this seemingly indifferent gaze that sent a chill Explosive Flame Left Commander, as if winter had descended and his hands and feet had frozen.
"Hmm?" Many powerful figures widened their eyes, even the Nine Phoenix Emperor narrowed his eyes.
"Half-step into the Void Refinement... How could it be so fast?" The powerful figures were shocked, and then they saw Prince Wu Feng stand up and bow firmly, saying, "Your Imperial Lord, Wu Feng is willing to lead troops to attack the Lu Wu Realm, but we lack a vanguard!"
As he spoke, he shifted his gaze to Explosive Flame Left Commander.
The latter's heart skipped a beat, and then he heard the Nine Phoenix Emperor say majestically, "Yankun!"
"Your subject is here!" Explosive Flame Left Commander bowed respectfully. Of the Seven Great Royal Clans of the Demon Race, the Explosive Flame Demon Kingdom was subordinate to the lineage of the Nine Phoenix Emperor.
"You are hereby appointed Vanguard Army Commander, to accompany Prince Wu Feng in the battle against the Lu Wu Realm!"
"Your subject obeys!" Explosive Flame Left Commander bowed helplessly. As a subject, one must be prepared to sacrifice, and clearly this time he had become the pawn to be discarded.
However, if this can result in a significant loss of strength for Prince Wu Feng's lineage, it would be worthwhile. Otherwise, once the former ascends to the throne, he will not be the only one to suffer the consequences of future purges.
The Nine Phoenix Emperor narrowed his eyes and continued, "Prince Wu Feng!"
"Your Majesty is here!"
"Speed is of the essence in war, so you should take your men and set off now."
According to the Bai Ze Clan's calculations, within a hundred years, the five Large Realm Gates of the Lu Wu Realm will be able to accommodate cultivators at the Sage Manifestation Great Perfection Realm. With your strength, if you cannot gain a foothold in the Lu Wu Realm...
"Then I, your subject, will bring you my head!" Prince Wu Feng said, then turned and left the main hall. His scarlet cloak fluttered in the wind, and behind him followed a group of the Nine-Phoenix Clan experts with fervent eyes, including Jiufeng Huangge, who had appeared at the Eastern Sea Realm Gate.
