Chapter 90

Dongfang Mingyue increasingly excited. She was eager to hear more of Jiang Chen’s plans. Considering that four major forces were involved and they had already allied with two, surely a third force was needed.

“?”

Jiang Chen spread his hands helplessly, adding, “At a time like this, how could you forget the Pure Yang Holy Land? They are our close friends with our Primordial Holy Land.”

“After this battle, we are bound to reap huge rewards. We can’t forget to share some benefits with our buddies from Pure Yang Holy Land. Even if we feast on the gains, we must at least offer them some soup!”

The Pure Yang Holy Land and Primordial Holy Land have been close allies for millions of years, with their friendship beginning over a million years ago and never fading since.

Throughout the long years, they have mutually supported each other without ever betraying one another.

When Primordial Holy Land dominated the foreign races 8,000 years ago, Pure Yang Holy Land was the first to respond, willingly playing a vanguard role. Of course, they reaped substantial rewards from that venture as well.

In the original story, Pure Yang Holy Land faced a tragic end. They recognized Jiang Chen and the Dongfang Mingyue, but not Du Guyun. Consequently, once Du Guyun rose in power, he completely erased the Pure Yang Holy Land, turning it into a mere historical footnote.

“I was just testing you!” Dongfang Mingyue chuckled, pretending not to hear Jiang Chen’s reluctance. “Since you have this mindset, it seems you can take my place as the Holy Master.’

Jiang Chen hastily declined, “I’m too young and inexperienced. If I were to take over now, it would surely bring disaster to the Holy Land!”

“The Holy Land needs someone exactly like you!” Dongfang Mingyue joked. “You don’t need to understand complicated worldly affairs or resort to cunning tactics.”

“Just show your might and strike anyone who displeases you. As long as Primordial Holy Land’s reputation isn’t tarnished, even if you act like a tyrannical young master, it’s all acceptable!”

Jiang Chen, still reluctant, responded, “Let’s talk about it when I reach the Great Saint realm.”

“Let’s say Saint! With your talents and capabilities, leading the Holy Land without as a Saint would be more than sufficient, and nobody would object.”

Without waiting for Jiang Chen’s response, the Holy Master took Snow Moon Immortal and left.

Watching them leave, Jiang Chen’s eyes deepened, and he murmured, “The stage is set, now we just wait for the enemy to fall into the trap. If we can eradicate these threats now, even if the ancient demonic realm erupts, the Nine Heavens Realm won’t fall, and Primordial Holy Land will have the power to protect itself, not ending up like in the original story.”

Jiang Chen’s exposure of himself was necessary to prevent the tragic events foretold in the original story. By clarifying the situation, he aimed to ensure the Holy Master wouldn’t harbor any doubts, which could lead to inadequate preparation and an inability to change the outcome.

To reassure her, he had to reveal his knowledge of the future. Otherwise, he could have warned the Holy Master in other ways.

His exposure wouldn’t matter much, as only the Holy Master would be aware of it, and she was one of the few characters in the original story truly trustworthy and incapable of harming Jiang Chen. She and Yan Ruyu were the least likely to betray him in the entire narrative.

After leaving the Banished Immortal Peak, the Primordial Holy Master and Snow Moon Immortal arrived at a courtyard.

“Have you considered what Chen’er said? Do you think his words are trustworthy?” Mu Jianxue, as always, had no expression on her face, like a block of ice.

“Of course! Although I don’t know how he came to know of it, his words are definitely true, and Chen’er wouldn’t deceive me!” Dongfang Mingyue spoke indifferently. “As for how Chen’er got the information, we need to investigate it, so we can know whether it’s an enemy’s scheme or if it’s indeed true.”

“First, we need to investigate the relationship between the Soaring Snake clan and the Undying Phoenix clan! Let’s leave this task to the Void Hall. Others might not know, but the Void Hall most likely has this information!” Mu Jianxue furrowed her brows. “Aren’t you afraid that the Void Hall is also their people? Or that they are doing it intentionally?”

“No need to worry, I know who is behind the Void Hall! And I also know where their lair is. If they don’t want to expose themselves or become enemies of the whole world, they dare not act rashly!” Dongfang Mingyue remained calm, confident in his approach.

“Let the second and first elders come out of seclusion! These two old immortals have been in seclusion for a thousand years; it’s time for them to come out and move around!” Dongfang Mingyue said lightly.

This was why the Primordial Holy Land was managed by the third elder when the Primordial Holy Master was not there, as the first two elders had already been in seclusion for many years, even when the Primordial Holy Master was still a Holy Maiden.

In a secluded and deep space, a red light flickered in the endless darkness, forming a giant eye. “I’m curious, what could be so important for you to contact me?” a detached voice slowly said, devoid of any emotion.

“Of course, it’s a good thing! Do you want to avenge your son? You don’t need to say much, just tell me whether you want to or not! If you’re willing, I can give you the opportunity!” Another voice, as mechanical and emotionless as the first, spoke up.

“That’s not the attitude of someone who’s asking for help!” the person on the other side, very intelligent, immediately understood some things from these few words. However, it seemed that the person on the other side knew him very well, not responding, just silently observing.

“I want!”

After a long silence, the person finally spoke slowly. “The Soaring Snake clan and the Ancient Desolate Domain are colluding and will make a move soon. I will notify you when the time comes,” the cold voice slowly said. “You can take this opportunity to act against the Soaring Snake clan!”

“You seem to have misunderstood! The Soaring Snake clan is our ally, our only enemy is the Ancient Desolate Domain!” the emotionless voice once again rang out.

“Who your enemy is, you know better than I do! If you miss this opportunity, there won’t be another! Moreover, if you agree, I will tell you the information you want to know, like about the True Dragon clan!” After saying this, the giant eye disappeared, not giving the other person any chance to respond.

Almost at the same time, in a hall, a tall and imposing man slowly opened his eyes, his face changing colors, now green, now black.
