Chapter 180 The True Dragon's Marriage

On the city wall, Xun Yuan Tianjun fell backward, unconscious, while everyone else was instantly shocked.

"What? The Primordial Demon Abyss has fallen?"

"All the clansmen who stayed behind were wiped out? What happened...?"

"A feint to the east while attacking in the west! This is a feint to the east while attacking in the west!"

In an instant, everyone was discussing it, and everyone suddenly realized what had happened.

"The Corpse-Slaying Assembly was just a pretext from the beginning. The person who made the move never intended to come to Humanity Mountain. His purpose was to lure out the experts from the Celestial Court and the Primordial Demon Ape Clan, and then launch a surprise attack on the Primordial Demon Abyss!"

"The Celestial Court and the Primordial Demon Ape Clan have both fallen into the trap!"

"This expert is truly elusive. He is certainly no match for the Celestial Court and the Primordial Demon Ape Clan on his own, which is why he came up with this plan..."

Everything is obvious!

This is a setup.

Furthermore, the mastermind behind this operation had anticipated that the Celestial Court and the Primordial Demon Abyss would come out in full force, so he prepared a puppet here in advance!

"The Moon-Seeking Celestial Lord is nothing but a stupid dog..."

"Tsk..."

"Now, both the Primordial Demon Ape Clan and the Celestial Court have become a laughing stock!"

Everyone had complicated expressions.

Originally, the person had already lost by not showing up at the meeting.

But now the situation has suddenly reversed. The Primordial Demon Ape Clan and the Celestial Court are nothing more than puppets being played by others!

In comparison, Xun Yuan Tianjun's various schemes and the Primordial Demon Ape's previous domineering and powerful behavior now seem like they were two complete idiots.

"This master is truly exceptionally wise!"

Lin Ruofeng couldn't help but secretly admire him!

He was initially worried that although the expert's corpse-slaughtering gathering was grand in scale, the disparity between the pro-war and pro-peace factions was too great, making it difficult for him to win.

Even if that master really came, whether he would survive was another matter entirely.

Unexpectedly, things changed so much in the blink of an eye!

No need for them to show themselves; the difference in skill is already clear!

The Celestial Court and the Primordial Demon Abyss Clan are the real losers.

He subconsciously glanced at the leader of the Luo Yan sect. The leader, who had already "defected," also showed a hint of relief, but did not reveal it.

"Heavenly Emperor! Heavenly Emperor!"

Gu Ling and the others hurriedly helped Xun Yuan Tianjun up.

Xun Yuantianjun slowly awoke, his face pale, his eyes filled with endless hatred, and he was filled with shame!

"Bring me that black iron!"

He gritted his teeth and spoke.

Gu Ling took the piece of black iron and said, "Master, this disciple will destroy it!"

"No!"

Xun Yuan Tianjun gritted his teeth and said, "Give it to me!"

He took the piece of black iron from Gu Ling's hand and stared intently at the eight characters on it, as if he wanted to remember them forever!

Xun Yuan Tianjun is nothing but a stupid dog!

He could almost picture the man writing those eight characters with a mocking smile on his lips!

Who is he? He is the personal disciple of the Supreme Immortal Emperor, who has been ruling the Immortal Court in place of the Immortal Emperor for a thousand years. He is a master strategist who has never missed a beat!

But now, they are being mocked, ridiculed, and insulted.

He fell for the trap.

They fell for the trap in front of the whole world.

He gripped the black iron so tightly that it almost melted into molten iron in his hand.

However, he took a deep breath, then released the black iron, and actually stood up on his own.

"Take it back to the Lingxiao Palace and hang it up. I want to see it every day! To remember this shame!"

He handed it back to Gu Ling.

Upon hearing this, Gu Ling's heart trembled slightly: "Master..."

"Just hang up when I tell you to!"

Xun Yuan Tianjun simply said coldly.

Gu Ling silently put away the black iron token and withdrew.

Those around them, upon seeing this, couldn't help but shudder.

Today, in front of the whole world, Xun Yuan Tianjun was tricked by others and was insulted by the Xuan Tie tablet. This can be described as a deep-seated hatred.

However, he was able to hang this item above the celestial palace, and it instantly returned to normal.

This alone demonstrates that his unwavering resolve and profound cunning are unmatched by ordinary people.

Even Lin Ruofeng and the others couldn't help but sigh inwardly, realizing that Xun Yuan Tianjun was truly a ruthless and ambitious figure!

However, compared to that, the mysterious person seemed even more extraordinary!

"I have spent my whole life searching for Yuan Tianjun, and I pride myself on my own talent and wisdom. Only today do I realize that there are people more capable than me!"

Xun Yuan Tianjun said frankly, "Everyone, the Corpse Slaughtering Ceremony has become a joke, but there is another piece of good news that I want to tell you!"

He declared loudly, "The True Dragon Clan is about to return and will form a marriage alliance with the Sun Moon Sect of Southern Xinjiang, embarking together on the path of alienation!"

These words shocked everyone present.

"What? The True Dragon Clan!"

"This is a truly top-tier forbidden creature."

"No wonder, no wonder the Sun Moon Sect suddenly turned against us. Who could resist such temptation?"

Everyone couldn't help but sigh in amazement.

"Xun Yuan Tianjun is declaring that even though he was tricked by that mysterious person today, his determination to promote the path of alienation will never change."

"Yes, the True Dragons are different from the Primordial Demon Ape Clan. That mysterious person can make the Primordial Demon Abyss suffer losses, but he may not be able to stop the True Dragon Clan."

"Even the Sun Moon Cult has betrayed us..."

One of the pro-war sect leaders stared at Sect Leader Luo Yan and said in a deep voice, "Fellow Daoist Luo, is this really true?"

Luo Yan simply nodded and said, "Shangguan Xiaoxiao, the star of my clan, will marry into the True Dragon Clan. The dragon prince of the True Dragon Clan will become a protector of my sect."

"Good, good, what a true dragon protector!"

The sect leader abruptly waved his sleeve and coldly said, "From this day forward, I sever all ties with the Sun Moon Sect. I wish your Sun Moon Sect a successful transformation and everlasting prosperity!"

After saying that, he cut off a piece of his robe, turned around and left!

Other pro-war factions held the same view.

Seeing this, Sect Leader Luo Yan remained calm and indifferent, seemingly unconcerned about the situation.

"Twenty days from now, the True Dragon Clan will descend. At that time, we will all gather again in the Northern Frontier!"

Xun Yuan Tianjun then spoke, saying, "This is a fortunate event for both the human race and the true dragon race!"

Originally, he planned to announce the marriage agreement between the Sun Moon Sect and the True Dragon Clan later; this was a brilliant move that could have a very strong effect.

However, he did not expect the situation to change so drastically, and he and the Primordial Demon Ape Clan were about to become a laughing stock!

Therefore, announcing this news in advance can be considered as turning the tide!

Let the world know that no matter how cunning that mysterious person is, he cannot change the overall situation.

……

People dispersed.

The Humanity Mountain Corpse Slaughtering Assembly never materialized, but the complexity and variability of the situation left the world in awe!

"Even the cunning and shrewd Xun Yuantianjun has made a mistake!"

"Haha, that was really exhilarating! The Primordial Demon Ape clan was running rampant in the city, and no one dared to stop them. It was that mysterious expert who wiped out the Primordial Demon Abyss in one fell swoop!"

"This master is truly remarkable; no one has ever seen him before!"

"Some speculate that the sudden change in the Nine-Headed Celestial Lion Clan at the Peach Banquet might also be related to this expert!"

The mysterious master has become the focus of global attention, sparking heated discussions. Some say he is an unparalleled immortal, while others believe he may be the return of the Bright Lord...

But all the rumors have one thing in common: this mysterious person is incredibly intelligent and has amazing strength!

"Ah, it's truly gratifying to have such a powerful figure standing up for the human race! It's a pity he's outnumbered and outmatched by the Celestial Court..."

"Who says otherwise? The Primordial Demon Ape Clan alone is already suffocating; if the True Dragon Clan were to arrive, who could stop them?"

"To be honest, we can't tell whether advocating war or peace is better, but now it seems that I think this wise man is more worthy of our following!"

……

Celestial Court.

Back in the Lingxiao Palace, Gu Ling had already hung the black iron plaque in a prominent place, as requested by Xun Yuan Tianjun, so that it could be seen as soon as one looked up.

With no one around, Xun Yuan Tianjun felt his blood churn and spat out another mouthful of blood!

His eyes were filled with hatred!

"Master!"

Gu Ling quickly helped him up.

Xun Yuan Tianjun stared at the black iron plaque and said, "Gu Ling, do you know that this is the first time my wisdom has been completely outmaneuvered..."

His words were filled with immense resentment.

“Master, you are being too hard on yourself. In the end, it was just a momentary oversight. It was a feint, nothing more than a sophisticated strategy.”

Gu Ling comforted her.

"No!"

But Xun Yuan Tianjun shook his head: "You don't understand the power of this plan. This is not a conspiracy, but an open strategy!"

He had thought it through carefully, and the biggest reason he fell for the trap was... he absolutely had to go to Mount Rendao!

When that mysterious person sent out the news of the Corpse Slaughtering Conference, he had no choice but to jump into this trap.

Because the Corpse-Slaying Assembly is a public showdown between the pro-war and pro-peace factions.

That's what he thinks, and that's what everyone in the world thinks.

He has to go.

If he doesn't go, or doesn't invite so many celestial beings to help, that mysterious person will definitely hold the Corpse Slaughtering Ceremony. At that time, the Celestial Court will suffer even greater losses and will be seen by the world as the Celestial Court and the pro-peace faction being weak and incompetent.

If he goes there, that person will definitely not appear, and he will have already fallen into the trap of "feinting to the east while attacking the west". The other party can attack any other place instead of the Ancient Demon Abyss, and the effect will be the same.

To put it bluntly, this slap from the other side will either land on the face of the Celestial Court and the peace camp, or on the face of Xun Yuan Tianjun himself.

The so-called "open conspiracy" is a trap that you see but have no choice but to fall into.

That's why he sighed like that!

"This is the strongest enemy I have ever encountered."

He spoke in a deep voice, his words heavier than ever before.

The Peach Banquet, the attack on the Ancient Demon Abyss, the humiliation of the Humanity Mountain... he never gained the upper hand even once.

He doesn't even know who the other party is.

"Master, how should we deal with him?" Gu Ling asked with a complicated expression.

"The True Dragon Clan".

Xun Yuan Tianjun said in a deep voice, "The Ten Thousand Yuan Mountain Range is now empty, replaced by the Thousand Rivers Land... The Thousand Rivers Land was created by Li Lan."

"This person is very likely the mastermind behind Li Lan."

"Let the True Dragon Clan go and investigate; it's just a matter of using one tiger to devour another!"

"Also, if your senior master, the Heavenly Lord Seeking Phoenix, has any news, report it to me immediately!"

He had realized that to deal with this mysterious figure in the shadows, he had to figure out the other party's identity first, otherwise he would be at a real disadvantage.

Steady progress, one step at a time!

"As ordered!"

Gu Ling left immediately.

……

And this moment.

In the middle of a desolate mountain.

"happy!"

The monkey laughed loudly.

Li Lan had previously activated a formation inside the Primordial Demon Abyss, so after the experts of the Primordial Demon Ape Clan left, he and the monkey immediately rushed in.

As Li Lan had predicted, the strongest among the remaining ancient demon ape clan members was only a Celestial Saint, no match for the monkey at all.

They slaughtered all their clansmen and burned the Primordial Demon Abyss to the ground!

"There are several other groups that are just like the Primordial Demon Ape Clan. Come on, I'll take you to see them!"

The monkey was still not satisfied.

But Li Lan shook his head and said, "No, I have to go back to the Northern Frontier first!"

He also heard the news of the marriage alliance between the True Dragon Clan and the Sun Moon Sect.

He understood perfectly well that this was Xun Yuan Tianjun's counterattack!

The return of the True Dragon Clan means that their every word and action will affect other primordial forbidden beings.

Turbulent times are brewing in the northern frontier... I must go back first.

……

Sun and Moon Sect.

"The news has been released."

Cao Yueshu watched Shangguan Xiaoxiao's retreating figure and asked, "Are you really not going to turn back?"

Shangguan Xiaoxiao said, "No, thank you."

Facing the majestic mountains of the Sun Moon Sect, she showed a faint detachment than before, and said, "I have seen a lot these past few days."

"What?" Cao Yueshu asked.

"A great catastrophe that has continued from ancient times to the present day."

Shangguan Xiaoxiao seemed to have become a different person, saying, "All living beings are struggling to cross the river. Some bravely face death, some flee in despair, and some seal themselves within their divine source, but there is no difference..."

"All paths will be forever silent, all spirits will perish... and this will happen in this lifetime."

"Whether I am Shangguan Xiaoxiao or Chu Xi, it doesn't matter."

Chu Xi is the name of the first celestial maiden.

That's another part of her now.
