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

Chapter 179 Persuading the Demon Pavilion Master to Gather Strength!
"The Azure Lotus Academy is located in our Imperial Mausoleum City. Although other forces are unaware of our relationship with the Azure Lotus Academy, how could Father not know?"

It can be said that the Great Zhou Dynasty and Qinglian Academy had an excellent relationship.

The Qinglian Academy is known for its neutrality, but how could it possibly remain absolutely neutral in the Imperial Mausoleum City of the Great Zhou Dynasty?

In the original novel, the Qinglian Academy was in a similar situation, but its fate was tragic.

Because Emperor Yuan suffered heavy losses during his trip to the Heavenly Demon Realm, the Great Zhou Dynasty gradually declined. Under the combined suppression of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the Heavenly Demon Sect, the Heavenly Demon Realm, and the Silver Blood God Clan, it was eventually destroyed.

"Ye'er, I was testing you, and I must say you passed the test. Now I can entrust the throne to you with peace of mind."

Emperor Yuan smiled and said, "At that time, I can go to find your mother in peace."

"No, Father!"

Li Qiye hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I can't take the throne. I'm still young and don't understand politics at all. I don't have your skills either. If I were to become the ruler of a country, I certainly wouldn't be able to bring glory to the Great Zhou."

"Let's talk about it when I reach your level."

"It will take that long. Once you reach the Void Realm, I can pass the throne to you. By then, I doubt anyone will object," Emperor Yuan said with a smile.

Li Qiye felt helpless and simply made up an excuse to leave.

The pit has been dug; all that's left is for the four major powers to fall into it.

Li Qiye knew that the matter in the Northern Frontier was not over yet. Based on his understanding of his father, he knew that his father would definitely take action against the three major powers, with the Eastern Jin Dynasty at the forefront.

He hadn't focused on matters in the northern frontier because of his mother's situation.

Now that he knows his mother is alright and he'll have a chance to see her again, his father will definitely settle accounts with those three major powers.

Furthermore, by eliminating the powerful figures of those forces this time, even if the Heavenly Demon Realm were to erupt completely and the entire world were to fall, the Great Zhou would still have the ability to protect itself.

They also need to eliminate the cancerous growth within the Li family, otherwise it will definitely be a ticking time bomb in the future.

After Li Qiye left, Emperor Yuan looked at Daoist Mo and said, "What do you think of what Ye'er just said?"

Mo Daoren was silent for a moment, then said, "Although I don't know how he found out, I think what he said is true."

Emperor Yuan nodded and said, "What we need to do now is to verify the authenticity of this news. We can ask Langya Pavilion about this. Others may not know these things, but they certainly do."

Upon hearing this, Mo Daoren frowned: "Your Majesty, aren't you worried that Langya Pavilion might be under their control?"

Emperor Yuan smiled calmly and said, "There is no need to worry about this at all. I know who the head of Langya Pavilion is, and I also know the location of their headquarters. If they don't want to expose themselves and become the target of public criticism, they will definitely not reveal it."

Emperor Yuan was very confident about this.

"It seems that this time, our Li clan's First Elder and Second Elder will have to come out of seclusion. They have been in seclusion for over a thousand years, and it's time for them to come out and make some moves."

Emperor Yuan muttered to himself.

In fact, many of the civil and military officials in the Great Zhou Dynasty were selected from the Li family.

Originally, the Great Zhou Dynasty belonged to the Li clan. Within the Li clan, there was also an Elders' Council and some Supreme Elders who were in seclusion.

They generally wouldn't come out unless it was a matter of life and death for the Great Zhou Dynasty.

In a dark space, there was not a single ray of light.

Suddenly, two things like the sun appeared in this dark space—a pair of eyes.

"What could possibly be so important that you would contact me personally?"

A voice devoid of any emotion rang out, utterly indifferent and devoid of any emotional fluctuation.

“It’s good that I’ve come to see you. I wanted to ask you if you want to avenge your son. If you do, I can give you that chance.”

Another deep voice suddenly rang out. "Heh, is this how you, from the Great Zhou, ask for favors?"

That indifferent voice came again.

"I need to correct something. I'm not here to ask for help. I genuinely want to help your Demon Pavilion. All you need to do is answer whether you want revenge."

"Of course I want to."

After a moment of silence, the indifferent voice rang out again.

"The Myriad Demon Palace has colluded with the Heavenly Demon Realm. I will make my move soon and will notify you then, giving you the opportunity to deal with the Myriad Demon Palace."

A deep voice sounded.

"Are you mistaken? The Myriad Demon Palace is a friend of our Demon Pavilion. Our only enemy is the Heavenly Demon Realm."

"You know best in your heart whether someone is a friend or an enemy. If you miss this opportunity, you won't have another one. You know the strength of the Myriad Demon Palace. If you miss this opportunity, it will be hard to have such an opportunity again. If you can use this opportunity to swallow up the Myriad Demon Palace and strengthen your Demon Pavilion, then you may not be unable to replace the Dragon Clan in the future."

The deep voice continued: "Your son died in a conspiracy between the Dragon Clan and the Demon Palace. Don't you want revenge?"

“If you agree to cooperate with our Great Zhou, I can tell you about the current situation of the Dragon Clan.”

Indeed, the speaker was Emperor Yuan.

After saying this, the voice disappeared as if it had never existed.

At the same time, in a grand hall, a tall and imposing man slowly opened his eyes, his gaze shifting uncertainly.

"How did Emperor Yuan obtain this information? He even knows that it was the Ten Thousand Demon Palace that killed his son, so he must also know that the Dragon Clan was involved."

This person is none other than Jing Donglai, the master of the Demon Pavilion!
"It seems that the dragon race has probably declined, just as I suspected."

Jing Donglai muttered to himself.

For thousands of years, he had been keeping a close eye on the movements of the Dragon Clan. It was really strange that almost no powerful figures had emerged, and they seemed to keep a very low profile, which was completely unlike the Dragon Clan's style of doing things.

"It's surprising that Li Xuanyuan of the Great Zhou even knows about such a secret matter. It seems that the rumors are true. They do indeed have a close relationship with Langya Pavilion."

Langya Pavilion!
This is the most mysterious force in the Tianxuan Realm. It is said that Langya Pavilion knows the information of all the major forces in the Tianxuan Realm, making it a very terrifying force.

All major powers are very wary of Langya Pavilion because they have done many shady things.

However, obtaining the desired information from Langya Pavilion would inevitably come at a high cost.

The Northern Wei imperial palace.

"What a rare guest! Doesn't Emperor Yuan worry that he might not return?"

His Majesty, Marquis Wu of Northern Wei, said in a deep voice, "Emperor Yuan, our Northern Wei Crown Prince perished in your Imperial Mausoleum City. Are you here to give us an explanation?"

Emperor Yuan smiled and said, "Lord Wu, don't make us seem like enemies. The fall of the Crown Prince of Northern Wei must have been within your expectations."

"what do you mean?"

Upon hearing this, Marquis Wu of Wei was taken aback, and his expression became solemn.

"Others may not understand you, but don't I understand you?"

Emperor Yuan smiled and said, "The so-called Crown Prince of Northern Wei is nothing but cannon fodder. He will fall sooner or later. I guess you didn't intend to let the Crown Prince of Northern Wei go back to the Imperial Mausoleum City alive this time."

Upon hearing this, Marquis Wu of Wei's expression darkened, but he quickly regained his composure.
