51: The three dynasties formed an alliance

Inside the massive ice palace, Long Guchuan and the other two sat before a round ice table.

Chilling air emanated from within the ice palace, causing Long Guchuan to frown.

"I say, can't we change locations?"

"This is where our Ice Cold Dynasty specifically receives esteemed guests. Or are you suggesting you don't consider yourselves esteemed guests?"

Supreme Old Ancestor spoke with a smile.

With Supreme Old Ancestor saying that, Long Guchuan found it hard to say anything more.

"Alright, let's just try it first. Since you invited us here, you probably want to form an alliance with us to act against the Ancient Heavenly Dynasty, right?"

Yang Qingdao got straight to the point.

When the serious matter was brought up, Supreme Old Ancestor's expression also became solemn.

"Indeed, I presume you two can also see that this Ancient Heavenly Dynasty is not simple, right?"

"Isn't that obvious? If it were simple, would we even be here?"

Long Guchuan retorted, utterly disdainful of Supreme Old Ancestor's unnecessary words.

Hearing this, Supreme Old Ancestor's Face slightly darkened.

"Can't you stop interrupting when I'm speaking?"

Seeing the atmosphere between the two grow tense, Yang Qingdao quickly spoke.

"Alright, alright, give me some Face, you two. First, let's resolve the Ancient Heavenly Dynasty matter. After that, I don't care if you want to start a war or whatever."

As Yang Qingdao spoke, Long Guchuan merely snorted coldly and turned his head away.

Supreme Old Ancestor then continued to explain.

"Presumably, the Peak Saint Kings of your two Imperial Dynasties have already perished."

"To be able to plant a Restriction within a Peak Saint King that even an Early-Stage Supreme Being cannot break, it sufficiently proves that the Supreme of the Ancient Heavenly Dynasty must at least be a Middle Stage Supreme Being."

"Furthermore, the Ancient Heavenly Dynasty doesn't even put the Domain Lord in their eyes."

"Therefore, it's likely that in the worst-case scenario, the Ancient Heavenly Dynasty has a Late-stage Supreme overseeing it, and even a Peak Supreme cannot be ruled out."

As he spoke, Long Guchuan and Yang Qingdao's expressions also grew solemn.

They had naturally thought of this point as well.

"Since Fellow Daoist Ying invited us, you must have a solution, right?"

Yang Qingdao asked tentatively.

Long Guchuan also pricked up his ears to listen.

"Naturally, I do. You must also know that the Domain Lord has offered a favor as a reward for the annihilation of the Ancient Heavenly Dynasty."

Supreme Old Ancestor continued.

"So my suggestion is, we sit back and watch, letting the forces who want to gain the Domain Lord's favor make the first move to test the Ancient Heavenly Dynasty's strength."

Hearing this, Long Guchuan couldn't help but frown.

"Your method doesn't seem like a solution. What if it's ultimately confirmed that the Ancient Heavenly Dynasty indeed has a Late-stage Supreme or even a Peak Supreme, then what should we do?"

"Don't worry, according to my estimation, the Ancient Heavenly Dynasty most likely only has a Late-stage Supreme at most."

Supreme Old Ancestor waved his hand, his Face full of certainty.

"If the Ancient Heavenly Dynasty truly had a Peak Supreme, why would they go to such great lengths to annex us?"

"They could even easily take down the entire Tiannan Dao Domain."

"So in my opinion, the Ancient Heavenly Dynasty at most only has a Late-stage Supreme."

Supreme Old Ancestor was full of conviction, unaware that the reason Gu Jixiao was making such a big show was to avoid negative public opinion.

After all, what he wanted was for the common people of the world to submit to him.

If he were so tyrannical, how could he make them submit?

"However, even if the Ancient Heavenly Dynasty only has a Late-stage Supreme powerhouse overseeing it, that's not something we can deal with."

Long Guchuan spoke again, his brows tightly furrowed.

Even though they were only one step away from the Late-stage Supreme, the difference in strength was immense. Even if all three of them attacked together, they might not be able to deal with a single Late-stage Supreme.

At this moment, Supreme Old Ancestor said with a confident expression, "I naturally thought of this point as well."

"Although we are not Late-stage Supremes, the Domain Lord is."

"Moreover, the Ancient Heavenly Dynasty also provoked the Domain Lord within Ghost Immortal Mountain."

"Therefore, all we need to do is fan the flames and let the Domain Lord personally intervene to destroy the Ancient Heavenly Dynasty."

"However, we need to be careful. If the Domain Lord discovers us meddling, we won't get off lightly."

Listening to Supreme Old Ancestor's words, Long Guchuan and Yang Qingdao's eyes lit up.

How could they not have thought of this?

"Hahaha, it has to be you, old Ying!"

"Since that's the case, I'll leave this matter to you, how about it?"

Long Guchuan stood up and laughed loudly, shamelessly attempting to hand everything over to Supreme Old Ancestor.

Beside him, Yang Qingdao silently looked at Supreme Old Ancestor.

However, it was clear that Supreme Old Ancestor wouldn't let Long Guchuan and Yang Qingdao stay out of it. After all, if he could handle it himself, why would he invite them over?

"This matter, of course, is not acceptable. Why should my Ice Cold Dynasty bear all the effort?"

"If I could resolve it myself, why would I ask you to come?"

Supreme Old Ancestor sneered, looking at the two and speaking.

Both Long Guchuan and Yang Qingdao's expressions were somewhat displeased.

"So, how do you want us to cooperate with you?"

Yang Qingdao took a deep breath, calming himself down, then looked at Supreme Old Ancestor.

Long Guchuan also prepared for Supreme Old Ancestor to make an exorbitant demand.

"Since we want the Domain Lord to personally intervene, we need to intensify the grievances between the Domain Lord and the Ancient Heavenly Dynasty."

"I remember, the Domain Lord seems to have a child with exceptional talent and is deeply loved by the Domain Lord."

"And I have obtained a Secret Technique that can bewitch the mind."

"We can use the Domain Lord's child to enrage the Domain Lord, and then have him personally take action."

Listening to Supreme Old Ancestor's words, Long Guchuan and Yang Qingdao's expressions suddenly changed.

"You mean...?"

"That's right, exactly what you're thinking."

"You are simply insane."

Long Guchuan's Face was extremely grim, clearly not expecting Supreme Old Ancestor's proposed method to be like this.

Yang Qingdao, on the other hand, took a deep breath, his expression grave as he looked at Supreme Old Ancestor.

"So, you're worried that if the Domain Lord finds out about this afterward, you want us to share the blame with you, right?"

"Naturally, otherwise, why would I have you two come?"

Supreme Old Ancestor sneered. He was afraid that if the Domain Lord resolved the Ancient Heavenly Dynasty and later learned of this matter, he would act against his Ice Cold Dynasty.

But if the other two Imperial Dynasties were involved, with the three Imperial Dynasties united, the Domain Lord would need to reconsider.

"In any case, I've presented the method. It's up to you whether you do it or not."

"Don't forget, the Ancient Heavenly Dynasty demands that we submit and surrender our imperial land."

After Supreme Old Ancestor finished speaking, he sat down and closed his eyes, no longer paying attention to them.

Long Guchuan and Yang Qingdao, however, were conflicted.

On one side was the Late-stage Supreme Domain Lord, and on the other was the Ancient Heavenly Dynasty, which likely also had a Late-stage Supreme. Neither choice seemed good.

"My Heavenly Dragon Dynasty will do it!"

Not long after, Long Guchuan was the first to declare his stance.

Dragon people would never be slaves. Even if it meant fighting to the death, he would absolutely not submit to the Ancient Heavenly Dynasty!

Seeing Long Guchuan agree, Yang Qingdao no longer hesitated.

"My Divine Condor Dynasty will do it too!"

"Good, in that case, I ask both of you to make a Heavenly Dao Oath, swearing never to reveal this matter!"

As the two declared their stance, Supreme Old Ancestor also stood up and spoke.

Seeing the two looking puzzled, Supreme Old Ancestor snorted.

"After all, if this matter were known, the consequences would be enormous, so the fewer people who know, the better."

With that, Supreme Old Ancestor was the first to make a Heavenly Dao Oath, swearing that if he revealed it, his cultivation would be completely lost.

Seeing Supreme Old Ancestor make such a harsh Heavenly Dao Oath, the other two also stopped their nonsense and promptly followed suit, making their own Heavenly Dao Oaths.

Thus, the three Imperial Dynasties officially formed an alliance, with only one common goal: to resolve the Ancient Heavenly Dynasty.
