Chapter 121 Donghe Immortal Mansion is About to Open

"Why did the Phoenix Clan attack us?"

"They should be grateful to us; Ao Zhengxiong is a very smart person, and he probably saw through our schemes against them long ago."

Fang Chen smiled, unconcerned, "Although we schemed against them, it also played right into their hands."

"They didn't lose anything; instead, we reminded them and let them know about the Dragon Clan's plans."

"Now, Ao Zhengxiong probably understands that if the Dragon Clan's plan succeeds, it will be a devastating blow to the Phoenix Clan."

"They didn't know before, but now that they do, it gives them a chance to stop it. Don't you think they should be grateful to us?"

Upon hearing this, Hua Mengying finally understood.

Fang Chen seemed to be scheming against the Phoenix Clan, but in reality, he was also reminding them.

Even if the Phoenix Clan didn't attack the Snow Clan and Snake Clan, once the Dragon Clan's plan succeeded, they would definitely attack the Phoenix Clan.

The message Fang Chen gave Ao Zhengxiong also gave him a chance to change the outcome.

Ao Zhengxiong's move to destroy the Snake Clan could also stop the Dragon Clan's plan.

"Your Highness, if that's the case, why don't we join forces with the Phoenix Clan to defeat the Dragon Clan?"

Hua Mengying asked, full of doubt.

"It's not that I don't want to, but rather that we can't. We don't have a reasonable reason to do so. If we attack the Dragon Clan, we will Face the entire Yao Race."

"Even if our Cloud Heaven Holy Land is powerful, it's not wise to contend with the entire Yao Race."

"But the Phoenix Clan is different. The Phoenix Clan and Dragon Clan have always been at odds; they have a blood feud between them, and the Yao Race won't stop their conflict."

"If we intervene, other Yao Race forces will definitely not stand idly by."

"Although the Yao Race is very chaotic, they are extremely united when facing external enemies."

"Moreover, there's no benefit for us to join forces with the Phoenix Clan against the Dragon Clan; instead, it will allow the Tianyi Magic Region to reap the benefits. So, it's best we don't do that; we can only let the Phoenix Clan act!"

This was Fang Chen's true plan: he didn't want to see the Dragon Clan succeed, but he couldn't use the Cloud Heaven Saint's power to deal with the Dragon Clan. He could only through some schemes and calculations, make the Dragon Clan's plan fail.

Clearly, the Phoenix Clan's intervention was the most suitable.

"Your Highness is truly brilliant, playing everyone like puppets. Even if they know they're being schemed against, they willingly accept it."

"If Ao Zhengxiong knew that you were behind all of this, I wonder what his expression would be."

Hua Mengying said, utterly shocked, and looked at Fang Chen with admiration.

Fang Chen's plan had factored in both the Human Race and the Yao Race, especially by making the Phoenix Clan and Dragon Clan fight while they could stand by and watch. Such a scheme was simply astonishing to her.

To oppose Fang Chen was a complete disaster.

"Oh, by the way, Your Highness, can the Phoenix Clan truly succeed?"

Hua Mengying asked curiously.

"How would I know? If Ao Zhengxiong has enough means and puts everything into it, the Dragon Clan will be very difficult to deal with, but doing so will inevitably greatly wound the Phoenix Clan's Origin Qi."

"I think, given Ao Zhengxiong's personality, he probably won't do that, unless he allies with other Ancient Royal Clan members like the Snake Clan."

"However, the Dragon Clan is not something the Snake Clan can compare to. The Dragon Clan has, after all, suppressed the Yao Race for many eras, and their prestige is established."

"Even if Ao Zhengxiong knows the Dragon Clan has declined, he won't engage in a full-blown fight with them. In the end, both sides will likely let it go, with neither being able to defeat the other."

"But this does stop the Dragon Clan's plan, preventing them from completing it so easily."

Fang Chen said indifferently.

He never expected the Phoenix Clan to succeed; he just needed the Phoenix Clan to interrupt the Dragon Clan's plan, preventing them from completing it easily.

As long as the experts created by the Dragon Clan didn't possess strength comparable to an Emperor Realm Expert, it would be fine.

Even if they possessed Quasi-Emperor Realm Seventh Heaven and above, the Dragon Clan's threat would be much smaller.

Just then, Li Hanyue's voice came.

"The Donghe Immortal Mansion is about to open. You need to be prepared. This time, the Holy Land wants you to restore some Face."

"However, your Revered Master said that if you don't want to go, you don't have to."

If it were before, Bai Luoyang would definitely make Fang Chen go, for the sake of the Human Race and the Cloud Heaven Holy Land's Face.

But after these events, Bai Luoyang was no longer so insistent on Fang Chen going, letting him decide for himself.

"Of course, I'm going. Why wouldn't I?"

Fang Chen smiled faintly, "Besides, this time I'm going to lift the Great Qin Dynasty's curse. If I don't lift the curse, I estimate that Emperor Qin will visit our Cloud Heaven Holy Land with the Great Qin Imperial Sword."

"The most important thing is that we've used Emperor Qin for so long, and he has diligently completed his tasks, even using the Great Qin Imperial Sword twice. We can't break our promise to people."

Fang Chen was definitely going to the Donghe Immortal Mansion. Besides lifting the Great Qin Dynasty's curse, there were also some things inside that he needed, which would be of great importance to him in the future, so he had to go.

He wouldn't participate in other matters; he wanted to try if he could successfully 'lie flat' this way.

Judging from the last reward, as long as he didn't personally participate, he could receive a 'lie flat' reward, though it wasn't as generous as getting one for complete non-participation.

However, Fang Chen was also prepared not to receive a reward.

Even if he couldn't get a reward, Fang Chen wouldn't feel it was a loss.

Because the things in the Donghe Immortal Mansion were extremely important to him, relating to future matters.

In terms of value, they might even be better than the 'lie flat' reward.

"Oh, right, your Revered Master wants you to bring your Junior Sister back too."

"She definitely won't miss the opening of the Donghe Immortal Mansion this time."

Li Hanyue said.

Upon hearing this, Fang Chen's expression immediately darkened, and he quickly waved his hand, "No, no, I'm not going."

"Why make me go? Couldn't an Elder from the Holy Land just pick her up?"

"Or you could go, Junior Martial Uncle."

Li Hanyue looked calm, while guiding Ye Wushuang's swordplay, and said, "I'm fine, of course, but if you don't go, your Revered Master will definitely get angry, and you won't escape a punishment."

"Even if Revered Master punishes me, I won't go."

Fang Chen said firmly.

Other people were fine, but his Junior Sister Lin Luowei, he was too lazy to bother with. It was best to stay as far away from her as possible.

"If he doesn't want to go, then so be it. Let him be."

Hearing that Fang Chen would rather accept punishment than go, Bai Luoyang couldn't help but sigh.

She was very helpless, but she didn't force him too much.

The reason she did this was because both of them were her disciples, and she didn't want their relationship to become too strained.

Upon her return this time, she could see that Fang Chen held a great deal of resentment towards this Junior Sister, and she wanted to use this opportunity to ease their relationship.

Since Fang Chen was unwilling, then that was the only way. She wouldn't force Fang Chen to do something he didn't like.

"Hanyue, this time I'll have to trouble you to make a trip and bring Luo Wei back."

Bai Luoyang said softly to Li Hanyue.

Li Hanyue nodded in agreement, then her figure disappeared.
