The Nine Phoenix Realm's Plans
After the Nine Phoenix Alliance was established, it set up its Alliance Headquarters on an Island at the border of the Nine-Phoenix Continent and the Giant Spirit Continent.
"Is everyone here? Then the Alliance meeting shall officially begin!" said the Sky Fox Old Ancestor with a smile, appearing as a kind and benevolent old grandfather. Judging by appearance alone, who could tell that he was an exceptionally cunning old fox?
"Let's begin, Celestial Fox!" The Nine Phoenix Emperor raised his eyes slightly and said, his tone still as if he had been presiding over court assemblies in the past. This was not the Nine Phoenix Emperor's original intention, but rather a habit that he could not change in a short time.
The Sky Fox Old Ancestor didn't seem to mind and said softly, "After the Alliance changed its stance to a tougher one, it quickly achieved good results."
Inside the interface, on the Water Tribe side, many resistance forces have been won over.
One of my clansmen, through the Bewitching Technique, subtly influenced the leadership of the "Beaconfire Division," currently the strongest resistance force among the Water Tribes, and successfully turned them against their cause.
I learned the location of the successor of the Sword Saint Helian from her. I propose that, to avoid any unforeseen complications, we should immediately wipe out the Beaconfire Division after the meeting!
"The successor of Sword Saint Helian..." The Nine Phoenix Emperor narrowed his eyes slightly. Back then, the Nine-Phoenix Dynasty was blocked at the gate by Sword Saint Helian alone, and dared not fight back. It was a disgrace to all the Nine-Phoenix Clan.
After a brief moment of thought, the Nine Phoenix Emperor spoke up, "Count my Nine-Phoenix Clan's share in this matter. I will send the Crown Prince with his men!"
"Good!"
The Sky Fox Old Ancestor had no objection; the Water Tribe was merely a minor ailment, not worth his attention. The leaders of the other races also had no objections, and the matter was thus approved. The Sky Fox Clan and the Nine-Phoenix Clan would join forces to go to the Endless Abyss and besiege the Water Tribe Beaconfire Division.
"The Water Tribe is not worth mentioning. The main topic of this Alliance meeting is the Tianwu Sect!" The Sky Fox Old Ancestor spoke, and the eyes of all the high-ranking members of the Nine Phoenix Realm present lit up with divine light.
The Giant Spirit Sage asked, "Has the Tianwu Sect agreed to side with us?"
The Sky Fox Old Ancestor said, "That's right. Originally, those Martial Cultivators were somewhat hesitant, but after that Martial Alliance Leader broke through to the Yang God and displayed monstrous potential, they took the initiative to contact us and agreed to all our conditions. Once the Realm Gate expands again, they will cooperate with my Nine Phoenix Realm from within to take over the Qiongqi Realm!"
The Eastern King Sect's Daoist Taiyi spoke up, "What about the Martial Ancestor? Can you confirm whether he has returned to the Immortal Realm?"
Upon hearing this, the powerful figures exchanged bewildered glances.
The Sky Fox Old Ancestor shook his head. "It's impossible to determine the current situation of the Martial Ancestor. However, according to the Immortal Realm Laws, even if immortals Immortals and Gods descend to the mortal realm, they cannot arbitrarily interfere in the affairs of the lower realm. The Martial Ancestor's actions are greatly limited; at most, he can only protect the Martial Alliance."
Besides, even if he makes a move at will, aren't there still the First-Generation Imperial Lord and the Eastern King Old Ancestor?
"Immortals and Gods with Immortals and Gods, we in the Nine Phoenix Realm still have two more, so there's nothing to worry about!"
The Divine Wind Clan smiled calmly and said, "What the Celestial Fox says is quite right. We have two Immortals and Gods on our side, so naturally we have nothing to worry about!"
The other bigwigs relaxed, but only the Nine Phoenix Emperor and the Daoist Taiyi looked displeased. The Immortals and Gods Old Ancestor was their greatest trump card for the continuation of their Dao Lineage, and if the Martial Ancestor really took it away, it would be a major loss.
However, as a member of the Alliance, helping to summon the avatar of the Immortals and Gods Old Ancestor to descend to the mortal realm to resist the Martial Ancestor was his duty, and he could not refuse.
Of course, this is all predicated on them being able to force the Martial Ancestor to come out.
The Nine-Phoenix Realm Experts, who had never actually attacked the Martial Dao Heavenly Stele, were unaware of just how strong the defenses of these seven treasures were, especially with the combined support of all the Martial Cultivators from the Martial Alliance.
In the Beacon-Fire Secret Realm, the aura of Tribulation Lightning lingered in the air. At the summit of the mountain, Yang Tiankang, who had recently broken through to the Sage Manifestation, sat cross-legged, consolidating his cultivation.
Suddenly, Shanhai, with a solemn expression, flew over and startled Yang Tiankang awake.
"What's wrong?" Yang Tiankang asked softly.
"Ni Xian'er betrayed us, defected to the Nine Phoenix Realm Alliance, and leaked all the secrets of the Beaconfire Division that she knew."
"Now, Nine Phoenix Crown Prince and the Sky Fox Saintess are leading a large number of powerful figures to capture us in the Endless Abyss!" Shanhai's expression was very unpleasant. If it weren't for Nine-Phoenix Kunwu acting as an inside agent, he and Yang Tiankang would have been doomed here.
Even if they had broken through to the Sage Manifestation and Yang Tiankang possessed the Beacon-Fire Sword, they still wouldn't be able to withstand the combined attack of the Nine-Phoenix Clan and the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Clan, two behemoths.
"Ni Xian'er..." Yang Tiankang took a deep breath. After the Nine Phoenix Realm Alliance shifted to a more flexible strategic approach, he had a vague feeling that the Beaconfire Division probably wouldn't be able to hold out for much longer.
What the Water Tribes seek is nothing more than an opportunity to rebuild and grow stronger, a request that the Nine Phoenix Alliance can truly grant them.
At least for this moment, choosing the Nine Phoenix Alliance is infinitely better than following Yang Tiankang from the Lu Wu Realm.
Even if he is the successor of Sword Saint Helian, when it comes to the grand plan for the development of the race, let alone betraying the successor of his former benefactor, many Water Tribes would probably not hesitate to directly kill Sword Saint Helian.
However, Yang Tiankang did not expect that the first person to betray him would be one of the people he trusted most.
Ni Xian'er, she's a veteran of the Beaconfire Division!
Where is Ni Xian'er now?
"They're with Nine Phoenix Crown Prince right now, and they're not far from the Beacon-Fire Secret Realm. At their speed, they'll arrive in a quarter of an hour!" Shanhai replied. He could keep track of Nine Phoenix Crown Prince and the others' movements at all times through Nine-Phoenix Kunwu.
"Two quarters of an hour..." Yang Tiankang's eyes narrowed slightly. "Now disband the Beaconfire Division, inform all high-ranking members of Ni Xian'er's betrayal, and have them leave the Secret Realm!"
"The two of us will take all the resources from the treasure vault and leave, change our appearances and go into hiding. We'll wait until things calm down before making our move!" Yang Tiankang said calmly. At this point, the Water Tribe was no longer reliable, and he trusted no one but Shanhai.
"Alright, let's do it this way. We can head to the Heavenly Demon Forbidden Land. With that brat Yan Kong there, no one in the Nine Phoenix Realm can find us!" Shanhai suggested, then frowned and asked, "But what about the Beacon Beacon-Fire Secret Realm? Should we give it to the Nine Phoenix Alliance?"
Yang Tiankang's eyes turned slightly cold. "You think you can devour mountains and rivers? I'll control the Beacon-Fire Secret Realm; you can just devour it. Even if it's a waste, we can't let the Nine Phoenix Alliance benefit from it!"
"Haha, Sixth Brother is wrong, I won't waste this!" Shanhai said with a bright look in his eyes. If he could really swallow the Beacon-Fire Secret Realm into the Creation Space for refinement, he probably wouldn't have to worry about insufficient Primordial Power for a long time!
