Contesting Territory, Winds and Clouds Rise

Since the Three Clans Alliance began to withdraw its forces and retreat, it has basically been completed. The withdrawal of the three clans has freed up a large amount of territory and resources, and for a time, the original strongholds of the three clans became the focus of attention for major powers.

The six great Sacred Dynasties and two great alliances have sent battle groups to occupy the territories. However, the two giants, the Fierce Beast Domain and the Demon Domain, have not yet made a move, which the six great Sacred Dynasties and two great alliances are happy to see.

In the western part of the Hong Huang, the center of the Demon Domain, a mysterious black palace.

"Demon Ancestor, why don't we get a share of the pie? We're letting other forces benefit for nothing," a middle-aged man in a blood-red robe asked the shadowy figure sitting on the throne.

This middle-aged man was none other than the Blood Demon, who was as famous as Old Ancestor Lu Ya, Old Ancestor Yin Yang, and Old Ancestor Qian Kun. However, the Blood Demon, who was once feared by all, now stood respectfully below the throne, not daring to overstep.

Who else could the shadowy figure above be but Luo Hou?

"Hmph, let them fight to their heart's content if they want to. It's best if they fight until both sides are crippled. That will save me a lot of trouble," Luo Hou sneered.

Now that the major powers were finally caught in this mess, Luo Hou wished they would fight to the death, weakening their overall strength. Then he could wipe them all out in one go. For now, he would simply wait and see.

"Have you found out who is behind that Blood Prison City?" Luo Hou asked with a hint of seriousness. Compared to the other six great Sacred Dynasties and the two great alliances, he paid more attention to the powerful individual who made a move behind Blood Prison City.

After all, at his level, Grand Unity Golden Immortals like Lu Ya, the Blood Demon, and Tun Tian could not withstand many moves. A human wave tactic would not work. Often, one person could decide the entire battle. Therefore, he could not help but be concerned.

"We only know that it's a white-haired man with silver eyes. There's no other information. We've never heard of such a person in the Hong Huang," the Blood Demon said with a frown.

Looking at his trusted subordinate, Luo Hou said, "Do you know why I haven't made a move myself? It's because there are four beings in the Hong Huang that I know of who have reached my level." He paused for a moment. "Hongjun of Kunlun Mountain, the Beast Emperor Shen Ni, Yang Mei, and that one being."

The Blood Demon looked at Luo Hou in astonishment. This information was impossible to find in the Hong Huang. He had always thought that besides the Demon Ancestor, there were not many people in the Hong Huang who could be his opponent. It seemed he had been living in a well.

"Heh heh, don't let them fool you into thinking they're detached from worldly affairs and living in seclusion in the mountains and great marshes. I can guarantee that if I make a move, those guys will definitely jump out one by one. They won't just stand by and watch me conquer the entire Hong Huang. Perhaps, that one won't be interested in these things," Luo Hou said with some frustration.

"Then our plan...?" the Blood Demon asked Luo Hou with some worry.

"Proceed as usual. We have the advantage now," Luo Hou paused slightly. "Have you contacted the Beast Emperor?"

"The Beast Emperor has agreed. As long as we send troops, he will send troops," the Blood Demon said excitedly, as if victory was within reach.

"Good. In that case, let's add more fuel to this chaotic fire. You immediately send a small team in secret to frame and sow discord among the various factions, making them fight even more fiercely," Luo Hou said with a sinister smile.

"Yes, Demon Ancestor," the Blood Demon also let out a sinister laugh.

The competition between the six great Sacred Dynasties and two great alliances in the territories of the three clans had intensified. Some areas were relatively dense with resources and spirit veins, while others were relatively scarce. Everyone wanted to occupy the good ones, so conflicts naturally arose. At first, everyone was somewhat restrained, but gradually, they let go. Today, you drive me away, and tomorrow, I'll bring a bunch of people to drive you away.

However, at some point, the casualties suddenly increased. In the beginning, it was still some Heavenly Immortals and Mystic Immortals who died, but later, it developed into frequent sneak attacks and the fall of Golden Immortals.

Various factions began to become suspicious of each other and started organizing personnel to specifically intercept other factions. For a time, the already chaotic territories became even more unpredictable.

"Blazing Fire, how are the preparations?" Old Ancestor Lu Ya asked the Venerable Blazing Fire sitting below him with authority.

Venerable Blazing Fire had only recently broken free from his seal and still felt suffocated when he recalled that battle.

"Ancestor, everything has been arranged. The other five great Sacred Dynasties have agreed to this operation," Venerable Blazing Fire said, a hint of joy in his voice.

"Good, very good," a cold glint flashed in Old Ancestor Lu Ya's eyes.

Ever since Old Ancestor Lu Ya felt the terror of his Main Body last time, he realized that there were such powerful beings in the Hong Huang, and he was no match for them. His desire to become stronger became unprecedentedly intense.

However, after reaching the Grand Unity realm, every further step was extremely difficult. After hundreds of thousands of years of closed-door cultivation, he had almost made no progress, completely exhausting Old Ancestor Lu Ya's patience.

The only shortcut was to occupy more territory, more spirit veins, gather more powerful beings, and collect more of the great forces of heaven and earth to borrow their power to break through.

That was why Old Ancestor Lu Ya was so enthusiastic about the territory and resources left vacant after the withdrawal of the three clans.

But he did not expect it to be so chaotic. The occupied territories and resources kept changing hands, his subordinates suffered increasing losses, and the conflicts between various factions intensified.

So, Old Ancestor Lu Ya decided to take this opportunity to join forces with the other five great Sacred Dynasties to destroy the two great alliances and, at the same time, divide their territories and resources.

The Holy Lords of the other five great Sacred Dynasties also faced the same problem of difficult advancement and were eager to borrow power to break through. They hit it off and decided to destroy the two alliances together.

"Good. Blazing Fire, go down and order the battle groups to prepare to depart," Old Ancestor Lu Ya commanded.

The more than a hundred Grand Unity Golden Immortals below also became excited, with a sharp glint flashing in their eyes from time to time. The stronger the Fire Worship Sacred Dynasty became and the more great forces it occupied, the easier it would be for them to cultivate. Tens of thousands of years of stagnation had exhausted the patience of these Grand Unity Golden Immortals.
