That was right. On the surface, the Phoenix Clan appeared to be preparing to strike the White Tiger Clan on the Western Continent. In truth, Yuanfeng, the Phoenix Clan's leader, had already formed a secret alliance with the White Tiger Clan's leader.
And the target of Yuanfeng and the White Emperor's alliance was clearly the Primordial Qilin!
If Yuanfeng and the White Emperor joined forces to kill the Primordial Qilin, the White Tiger Clan could claim the entire north, while the Phoenix Clan could claim the entire east.
Both the Phoenix Clan and the White Tiger Clan would win!
It was a win-win situation!
With two Late-Stage Grand Luo Golden Immortals joining forces, backed by a scheme laid in secret, the Primordial Qilin was doomed!
So Yuanfeng and the White Emperor formed their secret alliance. In public, the Phoenix Clan began harassing the Western Continent, leading all the peoples of the Primordial Wilderness to believe it intended to strike there and contest the White Tiger Clan's supremacy.
Yuanfeng could then use that as a pretext to ally with the Primordial Qilin and invite him to join her in setting a trap to kill the White Emperor!
The Primordial Qilin could thus claim the entire Northern Continent for himself.
From his perspective, that was also a win-win situation.
Without sufficient gain, Yuanfeng could never have persuaded the Primordial Qilin to move against the White Emperor.
Here was the situation. At the first layer, the Phoenix Clan harassed the Western Continent, preparing to attack it and challenge the White Tiger Clan. Yuanfeng used this as grounds to secretly ally with the Primordial Qilin and plot with him to kill the White Emperor.
The Qilin Clan could then claim the Northern Continent for itself, while the Phoenix Clan claimed the Western Continent.
That
