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

Chapter 95 You guys aren't stupid, it's a pity you found out too late!
Just then, the old man spoke again:
"According to our previous plan, we will form groups of three. Once inside, we will help each other and make sure we don't fight each other over the treasure. We will then distribute the treasures reasonably afterward."

"We must understand that we have this opportunity because our predecessors risked their lives in the northern frontier, and we should cherish it."

After saying this, he wasted no more time, reached out and opened a deep well in the courtyard, then took a deep breath and jumped in.

Actually, this deep well doesn't lead to the underground; it's just a teleportation array.

It was constructed according to the description on that incomplete map, and it is also the only entrance.

Soon, the others jumped in as well, until only a man and a woman and the black dog remained.

As planned, the three of them stayed outside just in case.

Furthermore, these three individuals were selected from among the three major powers.

On the palace square.

Just as the noise grew louder, the holy sons and core disciples from various forces gradually became impatient, and finally, there was movement from the imperial palace.

A roar!
Under the watchful eyes of countless cultivators, the nine-headed dragon horse appeared in everyone's sight.

These dragon-horses shook their heads, flames billowing beneath their feet, and pulled a divine chariot carved with golden dragons at breakneck speed.

In just a moment, it appeared in the sky above the square.

The dragon-horses trod restlessly through the air, spewing smoke from their nostrils, and raised their heads high, looking down at the cultivators below.

These are all strange beasts from the Enlightenment Realm!

"The nine-headed dragon pulls the divine chariot; only the Holy Lord and the Emperor can enjoy such a privilege. Emperor Yuan has finally arrived!"

Many prodigies breathed a sigh of relief. They had almost thought the Prodigy Gathering was over. They had traveled thousands of miles to participate in the Prodigy Gathering.

If you say you're not going to hold it, how can these people stand it?
After a moment of silence, a majestic voice rang out:

"I sincerely apologize for keeping you all waiting!"

"Now that the Heavenly Pride Gathering has officially begun, according to the Heavenly Pride Gathering of previous generations, no matter which force organizes it, it is nothing more than a arena battle, which seems a bit boring."

Hearing this, everyone became curious.

As Emperor Yuan said, quite a few forces have hosted the Heavenly Pride Gathering. Some may have included other activities in between, but in the end, it all came down to the arena battles.

Of course, the so-called arena battles don't actually take place on a stage, but rather in a small, constructed world.

If it were outside, its destructive power would be absolutely terrifying.

Judging from what Emperor Yuan said, it seems that the Heavenly Pride Gathering is going to change its format?
Just then, a buzzing sound rang out, and the void trembled violently.

Amidst the astonished gazes of countless people, a curtain of light enveloped the entire Imperial Mausoleum City.

"The protective array has been activated?!"

The young master of the Demon Pavilion frowned.

"What does this mean? Don't tell me that Emperor Yuan of Great Zhou is planning to use the entire Imperial Mausoleum City as a battlefield?"

The Xiao clan prodigy looked utterly astonished.

They didn't think Emperor Yuan would be a threat to them, unless the Great Zhou Dynasty wanted to become the target of everyone's hatred.

However, just as everyone was wondering, Emperor Yuan's majestic voice rang out again.

"In fact, beneath the imperial mausoleum city of our Great Zhou Dynasty, there lies a mysterious world..."

Emperor Yuan's voice resounded throughout the entire Imperial Mausoleum City.

In that secluded courtyard, the expressions of the three people left behind by the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the Primordial Holy Land, and the Ten Thousand Demon Palace suddenly changed drastically.

"The Great Zhou Dynasty actually knows these things, so why are they pretending not to know?"

The middle-aged man was shocked, and a deep fear flashed in his eyes.

The fact that Emperor Yuan announced this matter so publicly indicates that he had already made his decision to announce it to the world before even holding the Heavenly Pride Gathering. This means that Emperor Yuan was already aware of the plans of the three super powers.

They thought their plan was flawless and foolproof, and even lost several experts at the Void Realm.

"But how did they know?"

The middle-aged man was filled with doubt.

Very few people know about this; only a small group of people know, and they are all high-ranking members of the three major powers.

These chosen individuals are absolutely trustworthy. To ensure that the news is not leaked and to guarantee that nothing goes wrong, they have all signed a soul contract, which means that if the news is revealed, their souls will be scattered.

But here's the problem: the Great Zhou Dynasty existed for a very long time. If they knew all this, they should have emptied everything out of the house long ago.

But why wasn't that done?

Just then, the middle-aged woman from the Primordial Holy Land spoke:
"Perhaps the Great Zhou Dynasty already knew about this, but didn't know how to get in. They want us to pave the way for them."

The words fell.

A round of applause rang out, and an old eunuch walked out with a smile.

"You're not stupid, it's just a pity you found out too late!"

"Are you going to do it yourselves, or do you want us to do it for you?"

"Hmph, quickly destroy this teleportation array."

The middle-aged man said with a ferocious expression.

He acted decisively, striking the deep well with his palm.

The Great Zhou Dynasty's protective array has been activated. Unless an Emperor-level expert arrives, it will be impossible to break through the array and escape in a short time.

They have no chance at all now. Even those who have already entered are just doing the work for the Great Zhou Dynasty.

This plan is destined to be a waste of time, and it's very likely that everything will end up here.

Anyway, their companions would definitely not have a good ending even if they came out, so it's better to just destroy this teleportation array than leave it to the Great Zhou Dynasty.

But the next moment, the old eunuch appeared silently in front of the middle-aged man, his spiritual energy forming a sword in his hand.

A flash of sword light instantly killed the middle-aged man.

He looked at the other two with a half-smile and said, "You're unhappy that I said you're smart? How can you be so stupid?"

"If I let you destroy this teleportation array, how am I supposed to explain this when I get back?"

"Kill him together!"

A hint of despair flashed in the eyes of the middle-aged woman from the Primordial Holy Land.

Knowing that escape was impossible this time, she steeled herself, raised her hand, and summoned a long sword that resembled a snake, which transformed into a golden venomous snake in mid-air.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, the black dog nearby transformed into a black lightning bolt and fled the scene.

The old eunuch casually raised his hand, and a sword beam appeared, instantly severing the golden venomous snake, which then vanished into thin air.

Moreover, the sword's remaining power was not diminished, and it struck the middle-aged woman, killing her with a single strike.

Almost simultaneously, the wolf demon, who had just escaped not far away, suddenly felt a terrifying aura approaching. Without hesitation, it transformed into its true form, becoming a black wolf tens of meters tall.

Its jet-black fur was like a black sword, demonstrating the enormous size of this demonic wolf.

But the next moment, all of this came to an abrupt end, and a head as large as a mountain suddenly appeared.

Its fangs, as large as mountains, opened its blood-red maw and swallowed the demon wolf whole.

As the void trembled slightly, a ferocious beast resembling a tiger, covered in jet-black scales, appeared.
