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

The times have changed. In the past, it was a peaceful era without major upheavals, but now it's different. Things are slowly changing, and with the arrival of a great era, this time is destined to be turbulent.

With the emergence of the Dragon Emperor, the appearance of the Great Perfection Ancient Sacred Body, and the powerful intervention of the Forbidden Zone in the Heavenly Demon Realm, the threats from all sides are simply too great.

Ordinary forces simply cannot remain unaffected. Even a super power like the Demon Pavilion has no confidence whatsoever, having witnessed the destruction of the Dragon Clan, the birth of the Dragon Clan's imperial son, the birth of the Dragon Clan's Great Emperor, and the massacre of people in the forbidden zone of the Heavenly Demon Realm. These forces are simply too powerful.

It's difficult for ordinary super powers to remain unaffected. Even the Demon Pavilion doesn't have that confidence, from the beginning of the era to the destruction of the Dragon Clan.

Jing Donglai understood in his heart that in the face of absolute power, all forces were futile and would be greatly threatened. Was the Dragon Clan not strong? Was that overwhelming killing formation not strong? Was the birth of the Imperial Prince, who possessed the strength of the ninth level of the Saint Realm, not strong? And those two Emperor-level divine weapons, weren't they strong?

But what became of the dragon race? They were ultimately wiped out.

The existence of the Ancient Sacred Body at the Great Perfection Realm directly and severely injured the entire Dragon Clan, and almost killed the Dragon Clan Emperor's son at the ninth level of the Saint Realm.

Why didn't the other ancient royal families dare to make a move?
It wasn't because they were wary of this imperial prince's strength—he was at the ninth level of the Saint Realm, which would normally be enough to sweep across the entire Tianlan Domain. Ten thousand years ago, a Saint Realm ninth-level expert wielding an Emperor-level divine weapon was someone no major power could withstand.

However, it was born in an era that was far too dangerous. Not to mention the system of the Great Perfection Realm, there were also undercurrents in the forbidden zone, with faint signs of its emergence.

This made Jing Donglai realize the crisis.

He knew that if he didn't make changes, the Demon Pavilion would follow in the footsteps of the Dragon Clan.

Especially with the birth of the Dragon Emperor and the Dragon Prince still alive, they must make changes quickly.

"The nine-tailed fox is indeed difficult to persuade."

Fu Tianxia frowned deeply and said in a low voice, "This is their belief. It is extremely difficult to change their belief unless they are forced to make a change under great pressure."

Although these ancient royal families of the myriad races did not have much interaction with the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan, they still knew a little about them.

The Nine-Tailed Fox clan is known for its low-key approach, avoiding involvement in any affairs and focusing on self-preservation – a consistent style of theirs.

This is why the Nine-Tailed Fox has always kept a low profile; few people know about her, and few have become enemies with her.

They were practically invisible, and almost no major powers paid them any attention.

But that won't work now. A great era is about to begin, and if their ancient royal family wants to survive, they must unite.

In a sense, all they need is an Emperor-level divine weapon.

Emperor-level divine weapons possess sentience and can communicate with spirits; they will only assist the Nine-Tailed Fox, so they cannot attempt to seize them.

"In that case, we might as well put pressure on the Nine-Tailed Fox. If they insist on doing this, we can just wipe them out."

Jin Xiaotian said impatiently that he still maintained his old personality and would take action directly if he encountered something unpleasant.

"Absolutely not."

Jing Donglai directly refused, saying, "Given the current situation, we must preserve our strength and unite against external threats. Furthermore, if we take action now, we will only give the enemy an opportunity."

"Presumably, the human race also wants to win over the forces of our myriad races. If we do so, the forces of our myriad races may very well side with the human race, which is definitely not a good thing for our myriad races."

In the past, Jing Donglai would have nodded without hesitation. After all, in the past, pressuring other major powers through examples was the best approach. However, the situation is different now. Circumstances dictate actions; if they did this, the Nine-Tailed Fox clan might be driven to desperation and turn against the human race, which would be a huge loss for the ancient clans. They also cannot afford to go to war with the human race. Even setting aside the possibility of war, both sides would inevitably suffer heavy losses, which would be absolutely detrimental to them. Therefore, he would definitely not agree to this approach.

"If that doesn't work, then we'll use threats and inducements to make them clearly understand the consequences of doing so, and let them know that joining us is their only choice and their only chance to survive."

Jing Donglai pondered for a moment before speaking.

Unlike Jin Xiaotian, who constantly resorts to threats, this approach gives the Nine-Tailed Fox a chance to think and weigh the pros and cons.

It must be said that Jing Donglai's plan was very effective.
Within a few days, the Qilin Divine Clan directly chose to join the Ancient Royal Alliance.

This put the Nine-Tailed Fox clan in an awkward position, because they were the only ancient royal family that had not joined the Ancient Royal Family Alliance. Naturally, their situation was different, and rumors and gossip began to circulate. In addition, Jing Donglai deliberately spread the word about the impact of the arrival of the Great Era on them.

If they did not choose to join, their Nine-Tailed Fox clan would surely perish, which led to internal divisions within the clan, a growing disagreement that intensified over time.

Meanwhile, in a courtyard, the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan Chief, Hu Qianqiu, looked worried and sighed frequently, caught in a dilemma.

"Father!"

A soft voice rang out, and a stunningly beautiful woman walked over with a worried expression.

The woman was tall and slender with fair skin and exquisitely beautiful features that made her unforgettable at first glance, almost impossible to look away from.

There was also a head of white hair hanging down, radiating light and carrying an aura of holiness.

At the same time, the other person exudes a captivating charm that can ignite one's passion with just a glance.

"Yueyue, you're here."

Seeing his daughter approaching, Hu Qianqiu rarely smiled. The stunningly beautiful woman in front of him was his daughter, Hu Yueyue!

Because the Nine-Tailed Fox clan has always kept a low profile, very few people know about them, resulting in almost no one knowing of Fox Moon's existence.

If Li Qiye were here, he would definitely be surprised.

In the original novel, Fox Moon Moon was hailed as a rare beauty in the Nine Netherworld in the last hundred years.

Her figure, looks, temperament, personality, talent, and background are all impeccable; she is absolutely perfect, but very few people know about her.

Therefore, the vast majority of people are unaware of Hu Yueyue's existence.

"Father, are you still considering the ancient royal alliance?"

Fox Moon was very clever and immediately saw through her father's worries.

Hu Qianqiu nodded.

Both angry and utterly helpless, he said, "These ancient royal families will use any means necessary to get us to join them, even spreading rumors to influence our clansmen. Several elders have already changed their stance and are encouraging us to join the Ancient Royal Alliance." (End of Chapter)
