Chapter 1871: Chapter 1867: The Great Edifice on the Verge of Collapse (First Update)
Tian Haoyan’s complexion could no longer be described as unpleasant but rather as completely pale.
Because at this moment, thin cracks started to appear from his chest.
Following that, like an eggshell cracking open, pieces of scales fell from his skin, turning into fragments.
Only then did many people realize that Tian Haoyan had been wearing armor all along.
However, this armor was quite mysterious, as it would automatically blend into the skin’s appearance when worn, making it appear completely indistinguishable from the outside.
"Who exactly are you? Why interfere in this matter of Qingqiu Fox Country as a fellow member of the Human Clan?" Tian Haoyan roared with a grimace.
At this moment, Zhuge Cang slowly emerged from the shadows of the corner, then smiled slightly at Tian Haoyan.
"Young Master Tian, it’s been a while!"
"You are...?" Tian Haoyan’s whole body shook, feeling Zhuge Cang was very familiar, yet he couldn’t recall where he had seen him before.
Chuli Qing, who had been silently lurking aside, suddenly exclaimed, "Senior Zhuge, are you Senior Zhuge?"
Zhuge Cang nodded and smiled, "Yes, that’s me. If I’m not mistaken, you should be a descendant of the Chuli Clan?"
Chuli Qing’s expression became solemn, then he took a deep breath and respectfully said, "Chuli Qing, the 39th generation of the Chuli Clan, pays respects to Senior Zhuge."
Zhuge Cang’s eyes slightly narrowed, "39th generation descendant? So what is Chuli Fen to you?"
"He is my ancestor!"
"Very well, I have met your ancestor a few times before. By that account, I should count as your senior too. I really don’t understand, given the character of your Chuli Clan, why would you do such a thing?"
Chuli Qing lowered his head, speaking with a face full of sorrow, "To be honest, currently, the Chuli Clan only has me and a few elders who have lost their combat power left. As for why I’m doing this..."
Chuli Qing raised his eyes to glance at Tian Haoyan on the side.
Meanwhile.
Tian Haoyan also snapped out of his stupor, "You... you are Zhuge Cang, the Divine Calculator?"
"That’s right, it’s me!"
Tian Haoyan’s gaze gradually turned cold, "What? Even you, the foremost divine calculator of The Multiverse, want to interfere in this matter?"
Zhuge Cang sighed lightly, "Young Master Tian, I really don’t understand. Tiandao Sect and Qingqiu Fox Country have always stayed out of each other’s way. Why suddenly engage in such a fierce battle? Just for the Immortal Emperor’s opportunity?"
"What? Is this not enough?" Tian Haoyan sneered, "Now that the old fox is dead, the entire Qingqiu Fox Country has just a few survivors, and this Immortal Emperor opportunity has always been taken by whoever’s capable. Is it too much for me to seize it?"
Upon hearing this, all the Fox Clan in Qingqiu was furious beyond measure.
In her grief and rage, Hu Wan abandoned her usual ladylike demeanor, "You’re full of crap! With that little power of yours, you dare to covet the opportunity!"
Hu Xing silently stepped forward, his face brimming with murderous intent, staring at Tian Haoyan to show his stance through his actions.
Zhuge Cang’s smile gradually faded, "Not too much, of course not too much, but the problem is, can you take it?"
Tian Haoyan sneered, then glanced behind him at the band of friends, and said lightly, "As it stands, we certainly can’t take it, but..."
Tian Haoyan shifted his tone, saying arrogantly, "With the help of my sect, the opportunity will surely belong to us."
"Once Tiandao Sect’s army is dispatched, this mere fox den will be crushed effortlessly."
These words were extremely arrogant, yet they changed everyone’s expression on the scene.
Because if what Tian Haoyan said were true, then it’s really hard to predict the outcome of this affair.
After all, Tiandao Sect is indeed a major sect in the Starry Sky with thousands of years of legacy leading to a continuous stream of talented individuals under its command. The current Sect Master is a top-level Immortal King master, and there’s even a rumor that their sect enshrines an unfathomable super strong being.
Such a background would pressure everyone who heard it.
Even Zhuge Cang’s face slightly tightened, clearly feeling the thorniness of this matter.
Tian Haoyan was very satisfied with the change in expressions of those present, then said extremely arrogantly, "Now you have only two options before you: one, hand over the Immortal Emperor opportunity obediently, then I will turn and leave, and we’ll have no conflict thereafter."
"Second... is to wait for Tiandao Sect’s army to press on, crushing you into dust."
The entire scene descended into silent contemplation.
Within the Dragon Clan camp, Second Princess Ao Yi wore a solemn expression, watching quietly.
The Great Elder of the Dragon Clan couldn’t help but sigh, "Indeed, when a person of influence leaves, their influence wanes! If the old fox were still alive, would this little brat have the chance to clamor like this?"
Ao Yi didn’t speak; her gaze stayed on Huyue, who lay unconscious atop the high platform. Her eyes flickered, pondering something.
While in the Fire Rat Clan’s camp, Huo Yaojing’s expression turned quite peculiar.
There was three parts fear yet more was relief.
Relief that she didn’t marry into the Qingqiu Fox Country and become Huyue’s wife.
Because looking at the current situation, Qingqiu Fox Country is already a crumbling tower.
If they do not agree to Tian Haoyan’s demands, then when Tiandao Sect’s army arrives, the entire Qingqiu Fox Clan is in danger of being annihilated.
Even if they agree to hand over the Immortal Emperor opportunity, the Qingqiu Fox Country will instantly become a second-rate force within the Demon Race.
At that time, who knows how many changes will ensue.
Thinking of this, Huo Yaojing couldn’t help but become increasingly relieved, as any previous feelings for Huyue had long been thrown away.
What a joke.
Can feelings be more important than one’s life?
In Qingqiu Fox Country, Hu Wan attempted to speak several times but eventually kept her mouth shut.
Because even though she was angrier than anybody, more than anyone wanting to kill Tian Haoyan.
But she was also keenly aware of Qingqiu Fox Country’s situation.
With the Great Elder dead, losing the suppression of a top-tier strong person, Qingqiu Fox Country was already in a precarious position.
Eyes of covetous intent were everywhere.
One wrong move could lead them to the Abyss of devastation.
Such as, if Tiandao Sect truly came to kill, then Qingqiu Fox Country might really be finished.
Thus she could only close her lips in tearful silence, turning her head aside to quietly shed tears.
Tian Haoyan saw this and his smug and arrogant expression grew more pronounced.
Just as the whole place was silent, a calm voice suddenly broke.
"I choose neither path."
Upon this remark, everyone looked up at the speaker.
It was Xue An standing with hands behind, smiling slightly at Tian Haoyan, "Because I choose the third path!"
Tian Haoyan’s face instantly darkened, his eyelids twitching wildly, "Who exactly are you?"
"My name is Xue An, but people generally call me... Red Lotus Immortal Venerable!"
