Conspiracy Revealed, the Three Clans Go to War!

Western Demon Hall.

"Reporting to the Demon Ancestor! The Phoenix Clan pawn has fallen!"

Luo Hou, who had been meditating on a cushion, opened his eyes!

"Hmm? Strange! It seems someone has always been secretly working against This Seat! My pawns keep getting eliminated without a sound! This is quite suspicious!"

"But if one pawn is gone, then I'll place another!"

Luo Hou grinned. To someone as ambitious as him, it was merely a pawn—nothing important!

"Wu Qiu!"

"Your subordinate is here!"

"Select a new pawn within the Phoenix Clan. It is time for the hidden piece in the Qilin Clan to make its move!"

"Your subordinate obeys the Demon Ancestor's decree!"

Another conspiracy descended upon the Three Clans!

Phoenix Clan.

"Master! When are we leaving the Phoenix Clan?"

Chi Yu was meditating in his quarters when Red Sparrow entered with a beaming smile.

"Hmm? Is the Phoenix Clan not good? This is the paradise of your avian lineage! Why are you so impatient to leave?"

"Ah, Red Sparrow was only asking, that's all!"

Chi Yu shook his head with a smile, rose, and gazed out the window.

"Mm! Soon enough! A great war is about to begin!"

"Master! What great war?"

"The secrets of heaven must not be revealed!"

"Tch! Always being so mysterious!"

"Heh, listen to this girl! You're getting more and more disrespectful! You deserve a beating!"

Chi Yu flicked Red Sparrow on the forehead.

"Ow!"

Red Sparrow winced in pain, then mischievously stuck out her tongue.

"Enough! Complete the task This Seat assigned you properly! Do not interfere in anything else!"

Seeing Chi Yu's serious expression, Red Sparrow hurriedly straightened her back.

"Yes, Master!"

"Go now! Cultivate properly! The Primordial World is about to fall into chaos again!"

Red Sparrow left Chi Yu's quarters!

"It is time to take a walk!"

Chi Yu rose and vanished from the cave dwelling.

Elsewhere,

Yuan Feng received news unfavorable to the Phoenix Clan!

The Qilin Clan, which had not acted for a thousand years, had actually joined forces with the Dragon Clan to attack her Phoenix Clan!

Yuan Feng could not contain her fury. She slammed her hand onto the stone table, shattering it and sending fragments flying everywhere!

"Shi Qilin! Zu Long! How outrageous! Do you think the Phoenix Clan has no one left?"

"Come! Muster the army for battle!"

"Hmph! The Phoenix Clan is no soft target either!"

Chi Yu happened to arrive at that moment. Seeing Yuan Feng enraged, he grinned and walked in!

"Why is Fellow Daoist Yuan Feng so angry?"

Yuan Feng looked up and saw that it was Chi Yu. She immediately welcomed him with a smile! The Great Elders in the hall were all shocked; they had never seen clan chief Yuan Feng like this before!

After spending many days together, Chi Yu and Yuan Feng had grown much closer. Though they were not sworn friends, they were closer than such friends!

Yuan Feng also found herself remarkably relaxed around Chi Yu, unlike the rigid strain of dealing with endless clan affairs!

"Fellow Daoist Qing Chen! Please, sit! Allow This Seat to explain the matter in detail!"

Chi Yu took a seat.

"I am all ears! Please speak freely!"

Yuan Feng frowned deeply, turned around, and spoke with her back to Chi Yu:

"Fellow Daoist Qing Chen! The Phoenix Clan may be facing a great calamity!"

"Oh?"

Yuan Feng hesitated for a moment before continuing:

"For some unknown reason, Shi Qilin and Zu Long intend to join hands and attack the Phoenix Clan!"

Chi Yu shook his head. Anyone could tell that Luo Hou was stirring things up behind the scenes again!

Chi Yu then rose, walked to Yuan Feng's side, and patted her shoulder!

"This Seat has only eight words to say!"

Yuan Feng froze, then turned around to look at Chi Yu.

"Please speak, Fellow Daoist!"

"Meet soldiers with generals, floodwaters with earth."

Yuan Feng's brows furrowed slightly.

"Could Fellow Daoist explain further?"

Looking into Chi Yu's confident, captivating eyes, and at his bronze complexion and masculine features, Yuan Feng's heart began pounding wildly as her face gradually reddened!

What is wrong with This Seat? Could it be that This Seat has fallen for Fellow Daoist Qing Chen?

Yuan Feng thought to herself.

Meanwhile, Chi Yu rattled off a whole string of words. When he saw Yuan Feng still lost in thought, he patted her again!

"Fellow Daoist Yuan Feng?"

"Ah?"

Chi Yu shook his head and smiled helplessly.

"My apologies, Fellow Daoist Qing Chen. This Seat was distracted!"

"No matter!"

"To put it simply, it comes down to four words—keep calm and composed!"

Having read many Primordial World novels in his previous life, he knew the Demon Ancestor Luo Hou's methods well. In truth, dealing with Luo Hou's schemes was simple. The key was this—keeping calm and composed!

Luo Hou excelled at exploiting their weaknesses, fanning the flames one by one until the Three Clans were enraged and turned their weapons upon one another. Corpses would blanket the land, the Primordial World would shatter, and by the time the Three Clans realized what had happened, it would already be too late!

In the end, they would be forever suppressed beneath the Undying Volcano, forever filling the Four Seas Sea Eyes, and forever sealed beneath Qilin Cliff!

"Fellow Daoist Yuan Feng! Do not be overly hasty when trouble arises! Think things through before taking action!"

Yuan Feng considered it and found Chi Yu's words reasonable, so she nodded.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Qing Chen, for clearing up This Seat's confusion!"

"Hahaha! Think nothing of it!"

"How about this? Inform This Seat before you head to the front lines, and This Seat will go with you!"

Yuan Feng's heart filled with joy as she looked at Chi Yu with gratitude.

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Chi Yu did not linger and left!

Now, he only needed to wait quietly for the Phoenix Clan to complete its preparations before heading to the battlefield!

This response from the Phoenix Clan left Luo Hou unable to understand!

Western Demon Hall.

"An Anomaly must be secretly advising them! An Anomaly? Heh, what an Anomaly! This Seat wants to see who you are!"

After hearing his subordinate's report, Luo Hou was baffled. The Phoenix Clan had made no substantial moves and was behaving just as usual!

"Then This Seat will add more fuel to the fire!"

He then summoned Wu Fa and whispered something into his ear.

After Wu Fa left, Luo Hou gave a sinister laugh.

~

Time held no meaning in the Primordial World!

In the blink of an eye, it was the eve of the war's outbreak!

Though the Phoenix Clan appeared to make no moves on the surface, they had secretly made thorough preparations!

"Reporting to the clan chief! Everything is prepared!"

"Mm! Go invite Fellow Daoist Qing Chen at once!"

"Yes!"

Just as Chi Yu was preparing to continue cultivating, he heard someone calling for him.

"Your Excellency Qing Chen! My clan chief requests your presence!"

Chi Yu smiled.

"It has begun!"

After arriving at Yuan Feng's residence, he learned the general situation and then made several arrangements!

Chi Yu then returned!

The next day,

Yuan Feng led her army to the front lines!

She was accompanied by seven Great Elders: four mid-stage Quasi-Saints and three early-stage Quasi-Saints!

Chi Yu and Red Sparrow were also present!

Chi Yu had not wanted Red Sparrow to participate, but he could not withstand the girl's relentless pleading!

"Master! Is the battlefield really as terrifying as you said?"

"You girl, This Seat truly cannot do anything about you! The battlefield changes in an instant. Blades have no eyes, and danger is everywhere! When the time comes, This Seat may not be able to watch over you. What will you do then?"

Red Sparrow curled her lips with complete confidence!

"Master! Rest assured! I, Red Sparrow, will never hold anyone back! Besides, I am very powerful!"

Chi Yu shook his head with a smile.

After marching for many days, they finally reached the battlefield!

The battlefield was filled with members of the Three Clans, a dark and overwhelming expanse that stretched to the heavens and covered the earth.

At the front of the Dragon Clan stood a white-haired elder clad in dark-gold divine armor patterned with dragons. Holding a white divine spear, he stood proudly in midair! This was Zu Long!

At the front of the Qilin Clan stood a dignified middle-aged man. Wearing Azure Gold Armor patterned with qilins, he radiated domineering might as he stroked his beard! This was Shi Qilin!

The two sides then began exchanging challenges!

The Elders began confronting one another!

In terms of numbers, the Phoenix Clan was far inferior to the allied armies of the other two clans!

Halfway through the battle, the Phoenix Clan gradually fell into a disadvantage!

Yet Yuan Feng's conduct left Zu Long and Shi Qilin astonished!

She sat calmly atop her chariot, chatting and laughing with a rather handsome young man!

Zu Long and Shi Qilin were immediately completely baffled!

Luo Hou, hidden in the shadows, also sensed that something was wrong. He then looked toward that young man!

Narrowing his eyes, he began calculating with his fingers!

"Huh? How could this be?"

Yet all he deduced was a cloud of mist!

After pondering for a moment, Luo Hou suddenly widened his eyes in realization!

"That... that is an Anomaly!"

He suddenly felt as though some mighty being was watching him from the shadows!

"Not good!"

Luo Hou immediately vanished into the shadows.

"This matter must be considered further after I return! This Seat may have been discovered!"

Elsewhere,

Seeing Yuan Feng's utterly indifferent appearance, Zu Long flew into a rage!

"Damn it, Yuan Feng is showing us opponents far too little respect! This cannot be tolerated!"

He rose and came before the battle lines, beginning to curse loudly!

"Yuan Feng, do you truly not fear death?"

"Look! Your Elders will soon be unable to hold on. Then my army will trample your clansmen at will! Let's see how calm you can remain! Hmph!"

Yuan Feng was just about to rise and respond when Chi Yu pulled her back and shook his head. He then stood and walked before the battle lines!

"Oh? You are Zu Long? Why are you some white-haired old man?"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk! At your age, you should not be running around outside! Why not go home and retire properly? You should give the young people some opportunities!"

Chi Yu gleefully mocked him.

Hearing Chi Yu's words, Yuan Feng covered her mouth and laughed.

Pfft!

"This Fellow Daoist Qing Chen is truly amusing!"

"Hmph! You insolent brat, who are you? You dare disrespect This Seat? You must be seeking death!"

"Oh? You old man! This Seat merely spoke the truth. When did This Seat ever disrespect you? This Seat has always honored the old and cared for the young, so do not tarnish This Seat's reputation!"

"Ah!"

"You insolent brat, stop babbling! Take this!"

Chi Yu grinned.

"This is exactly the effect I wanted! Cultivation, This Seat is coming!"

This time, the system notification was unusual. It sounded a little earlier than before!

Ding! Detected that the host is engaged in battle with a hostile enemy!

Enemy: Zu Long (peak Quasi-Saint)

No matter how strong he is, you are stronger!

Congratulations, host. Your Primordial Spirit cultivation has risen to the early Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal stage.

In an instant, Chi Yu became a Saint!

It was as if the system had shielded him. There were no abnormalities in the outside world; everything was utterly normal!

A brand-new power filled Chi Yu's entire body, and the power of laws overflowed from him!

Yet it vanished without a trace moments later! At this moment, Chi Yu was like an ordinary mortal.

Returning to simplicity!

Logically speaking, the Primordial World's first Saint should have received Heavenly Dao merit. However, what Chi Yu attained was Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal, and his Primordial Spirit was not entrusted to the Heavenly Dao!

A Saint could be a Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal, but a Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal was not necessarily a Saint!

He came back to his senses.

Zu Long's attack arrived!

Boom!

A powerful force from a peak Quasi-Saint struck Chi Yu!

Moments later, Chi Yu stood unharmed before Zu Long!

"H-How is that possible?"

Everyone was shocked! Yuan Feng froze, then covered her mouth and smiled.

Red Sparrow looked at her Master with pride written all over her face!

"Hehe! Master has become stronger again!"

"Oh? Old fossil, put some strength into it! Didn't you eat enough? Or have you really gotten o~ld?"

The Phoenix Clan burst into laughter!

Zu Long glared at Chi Yu through gritted teeth.

"Y-You, who exactly are you?"

"Old fossil, are we still fighting or not? Why are you babbling on? Who I am is none of your business. Could it be that you already know you'll lose to This Seat today, so you're asking for my title to take revenge later?"

"Then there's no need for that!"

"Because—"

Chi Yu waved his hand, and the power of laws erupted, sending Zu Long flying!

"Puh—"

Zu Long crashed to the ground and spat out a mouthful of blood!

"Big Brother!"

Zhu Long hurried over to check on him! He took out a pill for Zu Long to swallow, then glared viciously at Chi Yu.

"Oh? You long worm, are you dissatisfied?"

Zhu Long was about to transform into his true form and challenge him, but Zu Long, having recovered somewhat, stopped him!

"Stop!"

Zu Long knew full well how powerful the young man before him was, and he began to consider retreating!

Even he, a peak Quasi-Saint, was no match for him. If his younger brother Zhu Long went up, wouldn't he just be courting death?

"Big Brother!"

"Don't act rashly! You're no match for him!"

On the other side, Shi Qilin saw that the situation was turning bad and secretly signaled one of his Elders with his eyes! He was preparing to retreat in secret as well!

Having recovered, Zu Long rose and bowed to Chi Yu!

"May I ask Senior's title? This little dragon is convinced. I hope Senior will forgive this little dragon's offense!"

A wise man submitted to circumstances! As the Dragon Clan's leader, he understood this principle well!

Moreover, the person before him was very likely a mighty expert of that realm—the realm he wished to reach but could never touch!

Chi Yu looked helplessly at Zu Long and thought to himself.

Ah! It's my fault for being too strong. I haven't even had enough fun yet, and this damn thing is already about to end.

Still, he had finally caught this wave!

On the premise of not breaking the rules, Chi Yu intended to spare these ants!

They truly were ants!

"Mm! Remember to give young people more opportunities in the future! Don't always jump out and meddle whenever something happens! Can't you just stay home properly?"

Zu Long froze!

"Yes, yes, yes! Senior is right to reprimand me. This little dragon will deeply reflect on his actions!"

"You will return to the Four Seas and must not casually stir up trouble!"

"I'm talking to you, Shi Qilin!"

"Oh? Trying to run away?"

Shi Qilin, who had just been about to flee, froze. Cold sweat immediately poured down his body as he turned around and bowed to Chi Yu!

"Spare my life, Senior! Spare my life! This Junior knows he was wrong!"

"Mm! As long as you know you were wrong! Remember This Seat's words. Whoever the hell casually stirs up trouble, don't blame This Seat for being merciless!"

Chi Yu unleashed the pressure of a Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal.

The pressure on everyone suddenly increased!

Shi Qilin trembled as he knelt on the ground, repeatedly kowtowing and saying that he was wrong!

Afterward, the Three Clans gradually withdrew from the battlefield! Chi Yu and the others returned to the Phoenix Clan as well.

Western Demon Hall.

"What? There was no great battle? A young man stopped the conflict with a single strike?"

Luo Hou was shocked!

"Is that Anomaly really so powerful? Even Zu Long, a peak Quasi-Saint, was no match for him! Then wouldn't This Seat—"

Luo Hou looked at the God Slaying Spear and the Immortal Slaughtering Formation Diagram in his hands, and his confidence immediately returned!

"Hmph! Whoever you are, I, Luo Hou, am no pushover either!"
