Fantasy: Ten Dragons Compete for the Throne, I, the Villain, Choose to Play it Off

"Jing Donglai was helpless, after all, he didn't have the power to make his word. Given the nature of those ancient royal families, they might even target the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan. This gave us an opportunity to bring the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan into our camp."

Everything unfolded exactly as Li Qiye had planned, without major deviations.

If there is anything to say, it is only a single sentence uttered by the Vermilion Bird Saintess that brought the entire world of wonders forward by a great deal.

However, Li Qiye didn't care at all, because he had already snatched the Nine-Tailed Fox Empress.

Thinking of all this, Li Qiye stroked the Fox Demon Empress's head.

The fox demon empress did not resist; she simply watched quietly outside.

"What if the Nine-Tailed Fox doesn't join us, but insists on joining the ancient royal family of all races?"

Mo Daoren glanced at the Fox Demon Empress and asked softly.

If the Nine-Tailed Fox clan were to join the ancient royal family of the myriad races, that would be the worst-case scenario.

"If that's the case, then let them decide. These are the Nine-Tailed Fox's own decisions, and we have no right to interfere. Besides, they are not our allies."

Li Qiye said calmly.

Having already snatched the Fox Demon Empress, Li Qiye didn't care much about whether the Nine-Tailed Fox clan joined their camp or not. Besides, it was the Nine-Tailed Fox's own choice, and he couldn't interfere.

Moreover, even if the ancient royal families of all races added the Nine-Tailed Fox, the threat to them would still be the same, with no significant difference. It's just that the Nine-Tailed Fox clan might suffer a bit more.

Among the nine-tailed fox clan, Fox Moon Moon arrived at the mountain peak.

She did not participate in the subsequent events in the secret realm. Instead, after watching Li Qiye's battle with Yu Yekaitai, she returned directly to the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan. This was mainly because an unexpected event forced her to change her original plan.

"Father……"

Fox Yueyue came to Fox Qianqiu.

"Yueyue, you're back! Why are you back so early? Weren't you going to participate in the secret realm? I heard the rewards from this secret realm are pretty good."

Hu Qianqiu looked at his daughter with a face full of doubt.

Hasn't she always wanted to go out and gain experience?
How could we give up such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?
"I just gave up."

Fox Moon, now addicted to the film, finally spoke up: "Father, I heard that the ancient royal families of the myriad races are trying to force us to join their alliance and are already threatening us. Is that true?"

Upon hearing this, Hu Qianqiu's expression darkened, and he said, "It's absolutely true. Moreover, the elders among us Nine-Tailed Foxes have put a lot of pressure on us, urging us to join the alliance of the ancient royal families of all races. Now we have reached a point where we have no choice but to make a decision. If we don't agree, the other races will most likely attack us directly. Besides, we are already divided among ourselves."

This was also a major headache for Hu Qianqiu, especially the internal divisions within the clan, which left him feeling helpless.

"Father, I would suggest joining the Great Zhou Dynasty."

With a flicker in her eyes, Hu Yueyue recounted everything that had happened in that city.

Whether it was Li Qiye saving the Fox Demon Emperor or refuting the Vermilion Bird Saintess's words, it was all an attempt to curry favor with the Nine-Tailed Fox clan.

Most importantly, Li Qiye demonstrated his strength in his battle against Ye Kaitai.

"The Great Zhou Dynasty far surpasses the ancient royal families of all races in every aspect, and the strength of the tenth prince of the Great Zhou is also obvious to all. His talent is undeniable, and no one can surpass him. He will most likely become a Daoist in the future."

“If we had joined the Great Zhou Dynasty as an ally before this, and had the protection of the Great Zhou Dynasty, these ancient royal families of the myriad races would not have dared to say anything. I know my father’s concern is that he estimates the tenth prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty will not regard us as part of the alliance, and will use us as cannon fodder.”

"If the Great Zhou Dynasty really wanted to do this, they wouldn't have bothered to show it to us. If they really wanted a super power to join, they wouldn't have rejected so many other human powers in the past. They could have invited other human powers over." "Instead of just having the Great Qian Dynasty now, and once we join the ancient royal alliance of the myriad races, we will inevitably become cannon fodder. That's for sure."

"Instead of doing that, we might as well join the Great Zhou Dynasty, then we'll still have a glimmer of hope."

Fox Moon was well aware of her father's concerns; the Nine-Tailed Fox clan was ultimately too weak.

Moreover, they have no connection whatsoever with the ancient royal families of those myriad races. If they were to join them, they would surely be bullied.

They also had many concerns about joining the Great Zhou Dynasty, and were afraid of becoming cannon fodder for the Great Zhou Dynasty.

At the same time, they completely broke with the myriad races. However, in Fox Moon Moon's view, the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan had already broken with the myriad races. Even if they joined, it would be difficult for them to gain a certain status.

Rather than doing this, why not join the Great Zhou Dynasty and take a chance?

The tenth prince of the Asian dynasty possesses undeniable talent, and it is highly likely that he will attain the Great Emperor realm. Once Li Qiye reaches the Great Emperor realm, they will have the protection of an Emperor realm expert and will be able to develop steadily, even if they do not reach the Emperor realm.

The prestige of the Great Zhou Dynasty was enough to deter the ancient royal families of the myriad races from taking action against them.

Let me think about it some more.

Hu Qianqiu's eyes flickered as he pondered for a moment before speaking softly.

Joining the Great Zhou Dynasty was indeed a good choice, but he was, after all, making a decision on behalf of the entire ancient clan.

If you make a mistake in one step, everything after that will be wrong.

He couldn't make this decision lightly, especially since the current situation of the Nine-Tailed Fox clan made it very difficult for Hu Qianqiu to make a choice.

A buzz!
Suddenly, the void of the pavilion exploded, and Emperor Yuan emerged from it.

Both Li Qiye and Mo Daoren were extremely surprised to see Emperor Yuan arrive.

Especially seeing the slight change in the other party's expression, something must have happened, otherwise it wouldn't have warranted Emperor Yuan coming here personally.

"The ancient royal alliance of all races has made its move against the fox demon clan?"

Li Qiye looked at Emperor Yuan and asked.

"Not yet, but it should be soon."

Emperor Yuan shook his head and said in a deep voice, "There is another matter here. I just learned that the Heavenly Demon Sect is extremely active in the far north and I don't know what they are plotting. I feel that what those guys are plotting is extremely complicated and may very well be related to the Heavenly Demon Realm. So I came here specifically to inquire about it."

The Celestial Demon Realm was the most important matter for everyone. Although the Celestial Demon Sect and the Celestial Demon Realm had been silent for a long time, they had not let their guard down. They were afraid that these guys would cause some big trouble.

"The Far North?"

Li Qiye muttered to himself.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind, and he immediately remembered something. His expression turned serious as he said, "They are very likely setting up the Heavenly Gang Demonic Array, intending to sacrifice most of the creatures in the far north in order to break the seal of the Heavenly Demonic Realm, or even open the passage to the Demonic Realm."

Li Qiye suddenly remembered that this plot existed in the original work, but it was very late in the story.

So Li Qiye hadn't thought about it that way, but now, hearing his father say that, it immediately came to mind. (End of Chapter)
