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

Chapter 227 The Intentions of the Celestial Demon Realm

"Entrusted by someone?"

A hint of curiosity appeared in Lu Xiaoxiao's ethereal eyes.

If it was done on someone else's behalf, then who had foreseen all of this?
"You'll know later."

The Grand Elder Zhao Wuming casually brushed it off.

After all, Prince Qiye is already a genius and prodigy enough. If this aspect were to be revealed, he really wouldn't dare to go out.

Once you step outside, you might be attacked by all sorts of sneak attacks.

"That's settled then. The matter is resolved. Now it's up to you."

“You are extremely important to the Heavenly Demon Realm now, and they will definitely try every means to get you. My personal suggestion is that you return to your Snow Moon Holy Land and do not go out for the time being.”

Elder Zhao Wuming reminded him.

Although the mission was completed, the problem was not solved at its root.

Because Lu Xiaoxiao is so important to the Heavenly Demon Realm, the Demon Emperor will definitely try every means to capture her.

If Lu Xiaoxiao were to go out and gain more experience, she would likely suffer various forms of sabotage, just like Li Qiye.

Although not universally opposed, it is still quite dangerous.

"Thank you, senior, for reminding me."

Lu Xiaoxiao didn't care much, because he never liked to go out and only wanted to comprehend the Great Dao in the Snow Moon Holy Land, so he rarely heard news of him going out.

The last time I went out was to attend the Heavenly Pride Gathering in the Imperial Mausoleum City of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Thinking of Li Qiye, whom she had met in that divine tomb, Lu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but ponder.

Could this Grand Elder of the Great Zhou Dynasty have been sent by him?
At this moment, Elder Zhao Wuming said again, "Since we've already helped you, let's send you back to Snow Moon Holy Land."

After he finished speaking, the Heavenly Mirror shone brightly, instantly enveloping the three of them.

At the entrance to the Snow Moon Holy Land, the void rippled.

Lu Changzheng, Lu Xiaoxiao, and Zhao Wuming emerged from the void, and the space returned to calm.

"This Zhao Wuming is actually a good person."

Upon seeing the familiar mountain gate, Lu Changzheng offered a compliment.

"Senior Zhao is a good person."

Lu Xiaoxiao immediately gave him a "good person" card.

"A good person? He doesn't even qualify!"

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go back. The Holy Lord is probably worried sick."

Lu Changzheng brought Lu Xiaoxiao back to the holy land.

Upon returning to the Snow Moon Holy Land, the two briefly recounted the events to the Snow Moon Holy Lord.

After listening, the Snow Moon Saint Lord pondered for a moment and said, "I don't know what the Great Zhou plans, but it won't do us any harm. Moreover, the Great Zhou Dynasty has helped us so much this time, and we will find an opportunity to repay this favor in the future."

"Also, did he mention why the Heavenly Demon Realm went to such lengths to have Xiaoxiao refine the Enlightenment Flower and even tried to capture her?"

This is what the Snow Moon Saint Lord most wants to know.

Why would the Heavenly Demon Realm go to such lengths to do that?
What use is Lu Xiaoxiao, who has refined the Enlightenment Flower, to them?
"Elder Zhao didn't mention this. Could it be that someone in the Heavenly Demon Realm wants to obtain the Holy Maiden's physique?"

"Those who have refined the Dao Body of the Enlightenment Flower possess the strongest comprehension, and will naturally comprehend any law or Dao."

"Does the Heavenly Demon Realm want to obtain Lu Xiaoxiao's talent in order to break the sealing formation of the ancient emperor?"

"Now that the seal is gradually weakening, if they get their hands on it, they might actually be able to find a way to break the formation."

Lu Changzheng said in a deep voice.

These were all things Zhao Wuming told him. "Since that's the case, Xiaoxiao, you shouldn't leave the Holy Land for now. Stay here and cultivate."

The Holy Lord of Snow Moon gave instructions.

Since it concerned matters concerning the Celestial Demon Realm, she was naturally extremely cautious.

It should be said that no major power is taking this lightly, otherwise we would be back to the endless years of war we had millions of years ago.

"Yes!"

Lu Xiaoxiao had no objection to this.

She had originally planned to do this, but her master, who was also the Holy Lord of the Snow Moon Holy Land, felt that she needed to go out and gain some experience, so he sent her out.

Otherwise, Lu Xiaoxiao wouldn't want to go out at all; in a way, she's a homebody.

Next, Lu Xiaoxiao left the main hall.

Only the Snow Moon Saint Lord and Lu Changzheng remained in the entire hall.

"What do you think the Great Zhou is plotting?"

"Moreover, the methods used by the Great Zhou during this period are completely different from before. I have been carefully reviewing the Great Zhou's movements and have discovered that the Demon Pavilion Master's actions are closely related to the Great Zhou. I always feel that the Great Zhou is plotting something."

"The Holy Lord of Snow Moon said in a deep voice."

"The Demon Pavilion has caused such a huge commotion among the myriad races, annihilating several major forces, and now it's dealing with the Dragon Clan. Is this also related to the Great Zhou?"

Lu Changzheng was shocked; he was naturally aware of the changes among the myriad races.

However, he was unaware that these things were related to the Great Zhou Dynasty; he simply thought it was a struggle between the myriad races, since such struggles often occurred.

"Don't you think the fall of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Ten Thousand Demon Palace are extremely similar?"

"They all colluded with the Heavenly Demon Realm. As far as I know, Jing Donglai and Chen Jinyu have been in contact with the Great Zhou Dynasty, but what they did is unknown."

"The Holy Lord of Snow Moon said in a deep voice."

Lu Changzheng pondered for a moment and then said, "Senior sister, there's no point in you thinking about these things."

"Moreover, the Great Zhou Dynasty will not stand against us. In fact, I think that everything the Great Zhou Dynasty has done seems to be just because of the Heavenly Demon Realm, and they don't want the Heavenly Demon Realm to be revived."

"Of course, I don't know if there are any other secrets involved."

“I think it would be worthwhile to join forces with the Great Zhou Dynasty. Not to mention that the tenth prince of the Great Zhou has a limitless future, as long as he doesn’t die young, he is very likely to reach the Emperor Realm in the future.”

"If we cooperate with the Great Zhou, it will not be detrimental to our Snow Moon Holy Land. If we antagonize the Great Zhou Dynasty, our fate will probably be similar to that of the Eastern Jin Dynasty."

Snow Moon Saint Lord glanced at Lu Changzheng and said with a strange expression, "What are you talking about? How could I possibly push the Holy Land into a fire pit? I'm just curious why Great Zhou did this."

"However, your words have reminded me that we can cooperate with the Great Zhou. But we need to find a suitable opportunity to cooperate. Otherwise, if we go directly to them, it will lower the status of our Snow Moon Holy Land."

Lu Changzheng smiled and said, "If you ask me, with our two super powers forming a marriage alliance, making Saintess Xiaoxiao and the Tenth Prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty a Daoist couple, it would be difficult for us not to be close to the Great Zhou Dynasty."

"What did you say! Are you kidding me? Absolutely impossible!"

The Snow Moon Saintess glared at Lu Changzheng and said, "Xiaoxiao is focused on the Dao, how can she be distracted by these things?"

The Great Zhou Dynasty, the Seven Nights Prince's Mansion.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully quit and obtained the Iron-Eating Beast!]

The system's voice rang in Li Qiye's mind, causing him to shudder and freeze in shock.

what?
Iron-eating beast?
Li Qiye even doubted that he had misheard.

This is because the origin of the iron-eating beast is extremely terrifying.

Even in the Immortal Realm, they are among the most powerful beings.
