"!"
The Three Tribes' patriarchs' eyes burned hot, their gazes bright and piercing as they looked toward Tang Xuan.
Counterattack? Revenge?
We've wanted to counterattack so badly, we've wanted revenge so badly!!!
"The superior method requires the right timing, favorable terrain, and harmony among people. Only when all three are satisfied can it be achieved."
"If you wish to use this superior method, you first need to choose one person."
Tang Xuan spoke slowly.
"Choose one person?"
The three were puzzled.
"That is right. Choose one... to prove the Dao and become a Primordial Chaos."
Tang Xuan enunciated each word.
The Three Tribes' patriarchs shook at his words and looked at Tang Xuan in disbelief.
Prove the Dao and become a Primordial Chaos!?
Among the three of them... one could prove the Dao and become a Primordial Chaos?
The surprise came too suddenly, leaving the Three Tribes' patriarchs' heads a little dizzy.
What had they originally been thinking about?
Oh, right, preserving the Three Tribes' foundations and surviving.
And now... this had directly risen to becoming a Primordial Chaos Golden Immortal?
Good heavens, they were about to cry good heavens outright. Was this the superior method? It was simply terrifying as this!
"Senior, besides choosing one person to prove the Dao and become a Primordial Chaos, what else is there?"
Ancestral Dragon took a deep breath and asked respectfully.
"I do not know."
"You do not know?"
The three froze, then immediately thought of the timing, terrain, and harmony Tang Xuan had mentioned, and a glimmer of understanding rose in their hearts.
So, the timing was not yet ripe, and that was why he still did not know?
"I have already given you all three methods, superior, middle, and lower. Which one you wish to choose is up to you."
"If you choose the superior one, then among the three of you, you will need to select one person to prepare to prove the Dao and become a Primordial Chaos. As for the rest, quietly wait for the timing."
"And if you choose the middle or lower methods, they can be carried out at any time."
Tang Xuan's eyes were deep as he looked at the three and spoke slowly.
"Many thanks, Senior, for pointing out the maze."
"Many thanks, Senior, for pointing out the maze."
The Three Tribes' patriarchs bowed at the same time and said gratefully.
As for choosing right now?
Since it involved something of great importance, naturally, they could not possibly decide immediately, so they still needed to think it over carefully.
"We take our leave."
The Three Tribes' patriarchs left, each with different feelings, departing together.
Watching the Three Tribes' patriarchs disappear, Tang Xuan revealed a faint smile.
He was very curious which plan the Three Tribes' patriarchs would ultimately choose.
However, no matter which one they chose, he would profit. It was only a question of whether he could make a blood-soaked fortune.
In any case, he stood undefeated by nature, so Tang Xuan was not in a hurry.
The superior method was exactly as Tang Xuan had said: it truly required timing, terrain, and harmony. Of course, since Tang Xuan dared to say it, he definitely had a certain degree of confidence.
If the Three Tribes' patriarchs chose this one, then Tang Xuan would directly become the biggest winner of the Dragon-Han Calamity.
What, since that was the case, why did Tang Xuan not directly state only this method and leave the Three Tribes' patriarchs with no other choice?
This was reality, not a novel. When doing things, one naturally had to leave room to maneuver instead of going all in on everything. Otherwise, if you often walk by the riverbank, how could your shoes not get wet? Tang Xuan was no gambling dog.
Moreover...
Who said the three methods could not be used together?
"The good show... has only just begun!"
With a soft laugh, Tang Xuan's figure scattered away.
Continue developing cautiously and gathering the rivers!
Immortal Volcano.
The patriarchs of the Three Tribes secretly arrived together.
The moment they arrived, after sealing off Heavenly Secrets, the three patriarchs launched into a heated discussion over what Tang Xuan had said.
All three of them were deeply torn over which plan to choose.
Needless to say, the lower plan was the safest. The middle plan required taking a little risk; after all, if they wanted to get off the cart, how could the Heavenly Dao and Hongjun be willing?
As for the upper plan, that went even more without saying. Everything was unknown. Even if it could bring the greatest benefits, it was filled with uncertainty, not to mention there was only one slot.
Yuan Feng and Shi Qilin both said the middle plan had the best cost-effectiveness, but Ancestral Dragon thought otherwise.
"The Heavenly Dao schemed against us, Luohu is also stirring things up inside, and Hongjun sits back without a care, treating us as chess pieces. Are you truly willing to accept that?"
Ancestral Dragon said heavily.
As soon as these words came out, Yuan Feng's and Shi Qilin's expressions shifted.
Were they willing?
Of course they were not.
They had never been much weaker than Hongjun or Luohu to begin with, so how could they accept being played in circles by those two?
"We must not only consider ourselves, but also our clans. So what if we are unwilling? Even if the upper plan can counterattack, the risk is too great."
Shi Qilin said in a deep voice.
"Who said there's risk?"
Ancestral Dragon's words left Yuan Feng and Shi Qilin stunned. "I think River God Senior said something very well: vision! We must have vision! Our vision has to be broader."
"River God Senior never said we could only choose one plan. What if the three of us... use them together?"
As soon as these words came out, Yuan Feng's and Shi Qilin's bodies shook, and their eyes lit up.
Use them together?
Proceed at the same time!?
In Spirit Mountain of the Western Lands, within Devil Palace.
Luohu was very annoyed. Luohu was very irritable.
He no longer secluded himself, no longer cultivated, and simply paced back and forth in the great hall.
Under his seat, the four great demon lords—Heart Demon, Succubus, Heavenly Demon, and Earth Demon—stood in the hall trembling with fear, not daring to even breathe loudly.
"Tell me, what the hell are the Three Tribes up to? The Dragon Clan has stopped fighting, the Phoenix Clan has stopped advancing, and the Kirin Clan has also turtled up."
"Fuck! The script for the decisive battle of the Three Tribes was already prepared, and they actually... stopped acting???"
Luohu halted, suddenly turned back to look at the four great demon lords, and said furiously.
"Devil Ancestor, calm your anger."
"Devil Ancestor, calm your anger."
The four great demon lords knelt in terror.
"Did I raise you all just to eat dry rice? Come up with a method for me."
Luohu said irritably.
"Devil Ancestor, how about we continue Fanning the Flames and stir up conflict between the Three Tribes?"
"No matter what Ancestral Dragon, Yuan Feng, and Shi Qilin are thinking, as long as the conflicts among the Three Tribes grow day by day, they'll have no choice."
"Even if it's for the stability of their races, they'll have to fight."
Heart Demon spoke cautiously.
Hearing Heart Demon's words, Luohu raised his brows and immediately had an idea.
"Do as you said. Aside from Fanning the Flames, secretly spread news as well. Among the Dragon Clan, spread word that Yuan Feng and Shi Qilin have joined hands and intend to let one person attain Hunyuan first. Do the same with the Phoenix Clan and the Kirin Clan."
"Say that Ancestral Dragon, Yuan Feng, and Shi Qilin obtained some opportunity, such as the origin of a Chaos Demon God, and stir up suspicion between them. We must make the Three Tribes start fighting as soon as possible."
Luohu ordered.
His Zhu Xian Sword Formation was just waiting for the Three Tribes' essence blood and origins to be sacrificed and refined. If the Three Tribes did not fight, how could the Zhu Xian Sword Formation be fully perfected?
"Yes, Devil Ancestor."
"Yes, Devil Ancestor."
The four great demon lords said in unison.
