Final Battle (9)

"What? The Nine Phoenix Realm is inviting us to divide up the Qiongqi Realm, and we can draft the contract ourselves?" In the main hall, the Seven Stars Sacred Lord, the Old Man Zhui Dao, and others looked surprised but also tempted. The King of the Divine Wind Clan was right; faced with the temptation of half of the Qiongqi Realm's resources, no one could resist.

In the end, everyone's eyes were focused on Yang Tianyou. Now, the Purple Moon Yang Household is the undisputed leader in the Lu Wu Realm. Whether it is strength or connections, it is enough to convince everyone.

Moreover, Yang Xuanwu of the Yang Household controls seven Martial Dao Heavenly Steles. If the Yang Household does not agree to attack Qiongqi Realm, then all talk is just empty words, since no one can tear through the protective shield of the Martial Dao Heavenly Steles from the front.

"What does Fellow Daoist Taibai think of the Nine Phoenix Realms' proposal? Do we agree to it?" Emperor Saint Martial Ying Qian asked.

"Hehe, dividing up the Qiongqi Realm, that's naturally a good thing..."

Before everyone could rejoice, Yang Tianyou changed the subject, "However, we have just experienced a great battle and need time to recuperate. It is not advisable to start another war lightly. Moreover, the Qiongqi Realm has fought alongside us for so many years, and our friendship is deep. It is not my wish to resort to violence." Yang Tianyou shook his head slightly and said with a melancholy tone.

The other senior executives were unsure of his true intentions and didn't say much, so the meeting ended hastily.

"I didn't expect the Nine Phoenix Realm to put aside their grudges so quickly and discuss dividing the Qiongqi Realm with us..." Inside the Great White Residence courtyard, Yang Tianyou's expression was subtle. He wasn't a stubborn person; if the Yang Household were just an ordinary major power, agreeing to the Nine Phoenix Realm's offer wouldn't be a problem, but...

"My appetite cannot be satisfied by the mere Qiongqi Realm!"

"Master, should we reveal the Nine Phoenix Realm's intentions to the major powers of the Qiongqi Realm?" Zhiming suggested, a cunning glint in his eyes.

"No, we won't just let the Qiongqi Realm know, we'll also make our Yang Household's stance clear!"

"Wouldn't that cause resentment among other forces? After all, people like the Sacred Martial Emperor are very interested in dividing up the Qiongqi Realm," Zhiming hesitated.

"Then let's try another method."

Yang Tianyou chuckled and said nothing more.

Half a month later, the Nine Phoenix Realm's plan was revealed by someone, sweeping across the entire Lu Wu Realm like a hurricane. In an instant, there was an uproar, and the Qiongqi Realm was even more greatly disturbed, immediately going into a state of alert.

Unexpectedly, Yang Xuanwu, the Martial Alliance Leader, made Dao Heart Oath in front of many cultivators from the Qiongqi Realm, vowing that he would never let the Qiongqi Realm fall into the hands of the Nine Phoenix Realm. He also stated quite resolutely that he would never collude with the Nine Phoenix Realm. For this, he even broke with his Lineage and fought with his Uncle.

This attitude led Yang Xuanwu, originally an outsider, to suddenly gain the support of all the cultivators in the Qiongqi Realm. All forces followed his lead, and the Qiongqi Realm miraculously united as one. Yang Xuanwu became a kind of leader-like figure.

"You bastard, you bastard!!"

In front of so many powerful figures, Yang Tianyou, for the first time ever, lost his temper and became emotionally unstable. It took him a long time to calm down.

"Fellow Daoist Friends, please forgive my predicament. My nephew is truly a handful. I never expected him to disobey my orders and side with the Qiongqi Realm. It's a misfortune for our family." Yang Tianyou apologized to everyone with a wry smile, his expression carrying a deliberately concealed look of embarrassment.

But those present were all seasoned veterans, and this expression naturally didn't escape their notice.

Only...

Have these Yang Household, uncle and nephew, really fallen out? We just can't believe it!

The powerful figures wore subtle expressions, but they could only offer words of comfort to Yang Tianyou. What else could they do? The Yang Household now had the power to say no to everyone and every force; who would dare to truly offend the Yang Household?

"You bastard, you bastard!!"

In the Nine Phoenix Imperial Palace, the Nine Phoenix Emperor Thunder. The surrounding servants were terrified and dared not utter a word, lest they be torn to pieces by the enraged Nine Phoenix Emperor.

"Father, with Yang Xuanwu becoming the Qiongqi Realm Co-Ruler, and given his connection with the Purple Moon Yang Household, it's almost impossible for the Lu Wu Realm to share the Qiongqi Realm with us. So what should we do next?" Nine Phoenix Crown Prince asked with a worried expression.

"Next step..."

After calming down, the Nine Phoenix Emperor slumped onto his throne, speechless.

He simply couldn't understand what the Yang Household was after. They had such a great opportunity, practically offering him the prize, yet he wouldn't take it.

If you think the conditions aren't good, we can discuss it together. Why flip the table over like that? What kind of behavior is that?

Could it be that your Yang Household is planning a counterattack?

The moment the thought popped into his head, the Nine Phoenix Emperor couldn't help but laugh. What was wrong with him? How could he have such an absurd idea?

While the Yang Household is indeed powerful, it is not a pipe dream to launch a counterattack against the Nine Phoenix Realm. They simply cannot get past the Eastern King Sect Old Ancestor.

Half-Step Body Integration is still Body Integration. Even without mastering the Power of Principle, it can easily kill a powerhouse in the Late Stage of the Void Refinement. Furthermore, the Nine Phoenix Realm has two to three times the number of Sixth Tier, Upper Grade Spirit Veins as the Lu Wu Realm, and its Formation skills are also higher. With the current strength of the Lu Wu Realm and the Qiongqi Realm, even if the number were several times higher, it would only be suicide.

Not to mention, the Nine Phoenix Realm is larger in scale and did not suffer severe damage. Once it begins to recuperate, its strength will also increase rapidly. In two or three hundred years, the Three Great Realms will break off contact.

In other words, if the Yang Household wants to launch a counterattack, they must increase the strength of the Lu Wu Realm and the Qiongqi Realm by at least tenfold within the next two or three hundred years. Only then will they have a chance to take over the Nine Phoenix Realm. But how is that possible? Unless the Dao Ancestor manifests his power!

Thinking of this, the Nine Phoenix Emperor couldn't help but sigh, "Could it be that this Blade Venerable Great White Yang Tianyou is truly as rumored—a man of both Sword Gallbladder and Zither Heart, upright and noble, unwilling to harm the Qiongqi Realm with whom he once fought bloody battles? If that's the case, then this man is indeed a True Lord, worthy of respect!"

Not only the Nine Phoenix Emperor, but also the leaders of other major forces in the Lu Wu Realm couldn't understand it, and could only attribute it to Yang Tianyou's character.

As a result, Yang Tianyou's reputation grew even more, with countless voices praising his actions. Although Cultivator ruthless, it is precisely for this reason that virtuous individuals are even more revered. And if this virtuous individual is also a great cultivator, then it is even more precious.

Thus, after this great war, the Three Great Realms finally achieved peace. Although a large number of powerful individuals and legions were still stationed on the borders, high-intensity, Large-Scale Wars never broke out.

In the blink of an eye, two hundred years have passed. On this day, the long-silent Purple Moon Mountain is suddenly engulfed in turmoil!
