We Agreed You’d Just Play the Divine Son, So How Did You Become the Forbidden Zone Emperor?
Chapter 200 : Chapter 200
Chapter 200. Determined to Seize It
“I think that if you have already thought of this, then the others among the eight clans have certainly thought of it as well. None of them are fools. In fact, every one of them is wildly ambitious. If you want to stand out among them and seize the Nine Netherworld Emperor Flame from Chu Feng, I do not think your chances are very great.”
Shi Ritian smiled, that smile cold, sinister, and confident, with a haughty arrogance that made it seem as though he did not place anyone else in his eyes at all.
“Old Ancestor, do not worry. Your grandson has his own arrangements. You only need to tell me whether or not you have the will for it.” A gleam of confidence flashed in Shi Ritian’s eyes.
At those words, Shi Doutian seemed to falter for a moment, as though he were slowly being lured step by step into Shi Ritian’s trap.
Seizing the chance, Shi Ritian leaned in and lowered his voice. “During the dozens of days that your grandson was in charge of setting up the array, I secretly tampered with the killing array without anyone knowing. When the time comes, so long as I wish it, I need only employ a slight trick at the crucial moment, and the people of the other seven clans will temporarily fall into a daze. Then your grandson can personally make his move and seize the Nine Netherworld Emperor Flame. Would that not be as easy as turning over one’s hand?”
A sharp light flashed through Shi Doutian’s eyes. Thinking back on Shi Ritian’s usual conduct, he looked both expectant and worried. “You tampered with it? What exactly did you do?”
With satisfaction, Shi Ritian said, “I merely secretly added a restriction at the Array Core. When the killing array is activated, that restriction will quietly absorb the Bloodline Power of the other seven clans and convert it for your grandson’s use.
In that way, the people of the other seven clans will weaken for a short time, while your grandson’s strength will soar. By then, even if they wish to snatch it away, they will not be able to compete with me.
At that time, your grandson will personally strike, kill Chu Feng first, and then seize the Nine Netherworld Emperor Flame. By the time the others realize what has happened, the Nine Netherworld Emperor Flame will already be in your grandson’s pocket... Or perhaps I will simply capture Chu Feng alive. Then would he not still be mine to deal with?”
Shi Doutian fell silent for a moment, then slowly nodded. He now had a somewhat clearer understanding of the Shi Ritian before him. “You do have some schemes in you, but the Nine Netherworld Emperor Flame alone is not enough...”
Before Shi Doutian could ask further, greed swept through Shi Ritian’s eyes.
“After going to so much trouble, of course that is not enough. Your grandson also wants the Seven-Colored Spiritual Aura!”
“The Seven-Colored Spiritual Aura?” Shi Doutian frowned, unable to believe it. “Was that not already refined by Chu Feng? And besides, it belongs to the Heaven-Devouring Python Clan. If you take it, how will you explain yourself to them afterward?”
After all, the old clan leader belonged to an older generation. He still placed considerable importance on the demon beasts of the Ancient Royal Clan and did not wish to tear relations apart completely.
“It has been refined, yes, but its residual power still remains... And when the time comes, I will directly devour Chu Feng’s Essence Blood. Those powers will naturally become mine.”
At the thought of this, Shi Ritian gave a dark and chilling laugh. “And if we seize that woman called Cailin, then with our clan’s Secret Technique, we can still extract the remnants of the Seven-Colored Spiritual Aura from within her body. It may not compare to the complete Seven-Colored Spiritual Aura, but it would still be enough to make your grandson’s cultivation advance greatly.”
Shi Doutian’s gaze flickered, and there was even a trace of displeasure in his eyes. “You want to make a move against Cailin? She is the daughter-in-law the Desolate Battle Kui Ox Clan has already chosen. That boy Yuntian treasures her like his very life. If you act rashly at such a time, then the Heaven-Devouring Python Clan and the Desolate Battle Kui Ox Clan will certainly not let you off. So in my view, there is no need to take such a great risk.”
Shi Ritian only sneered, prideful to the extreme. “Yuntian? That waste? And the Heaven-Devouring Python Clan? Cailin can barely protect herself now. What do you think is left that could stand in my way?”
Shi Ritian continued, his face full of disdain. “Old Ancestor, you do not know. That boy Yuntian is a complete waste.
A few days ago, I sent him to the Great Chu Dynasty to gather information. In the end, he saw Cailin and Chu Feng acting all tender and intimate together, and he broke down on the spot. A grown man, crying and sniveling all day long.
He cried and shouted that he could not be the Vanguard, saying that once he saw the two of them together, he could not control himself. Does such a waste deserve to compete with your grandson?”
“And besides...” Shi Ritian lowered his voice. “The Desolate Battle Kui Ox Clan is weak. Even if they raise a fuss afterward, would our Dragon-Elephant Giant Spirit Clan really fear them? So long as we can improve our own cultivation, then the entire Ancient Royal Clan will cease to be our equal.”
Shi Doutian let out a low hum. “Your courage is too great.”
Seeing this, Shi Ritian hurriedly pressed further. “Old Ancestor, think about it. If your grandson obtains the Nine Netherworld Emperor Flame and the Seven-Colored Spiritual Aura from Chu Feng, then my strength will certainly advance by leaps and bounds. That much is fact... At that time, why would our Dragon-Elephant Giant Spirit Clan still need to look at the faces of the other clans?
The True Dragon Clan has always regarded itself as the orthodox line and kept us so suppressed we can barely breathe. But how capable are they really? And those mad dogs of the Nine Netherworld Mastiff Clan, simply because they are close to the True Dragons, dare strut about and lord themselves over us. We have endured this kind of humiliation for long enough.
If your grandson succeeds... then every one of them will have to bow and scrape before us.”
Shi Ritian did not finish the thought, but his meaning was already perfectly clear.
The light in Shi Doutian’s eyes grew brighter and brighter.
That was right. The Dragon-Elephant Giant Spirit Clan had once been one of the foremost powers among the Ancient Royal Clan, a truly rare and formidable existence.
It was only because they had gradually declined over these years that the True Dragon Clan and the Nine Netherworld Mastiff Clan had managed to suppress them.
But if Shi Ritian could succeed...
“How certain are you?” he asked in a deep voice.
Shi Ritian was overjoyed inwardly, knowing that the Old Ancestor had been tempted. He hurriedly said, “So long as the Old Ancestor secretly sends additional men to infiltrate the killing array ranks and support your grandson, then at the crucial moment, if they obey your grandson’s command, there will be a seventy percent chance of success.”
“Seventy percent...” Shi Doutian murmured to himself.
Shi Ritian gritted his teeth and added another sentence. “Old Ancestor, this is a rare opportunity. It must not be missed. If we let this chance pass, and Chu Feng is killed by people from the other clans, then the Nine Netherworld Emperor Flame will fall into someone else’s hands. At that point, will our Dragon-Elephant Giant Spirit Clan still have any road left to survive?”
There was great reason in those words, and Shi Doutian could not deny it.
Shi Doutian looked at him deeply, then suddenly smiled. Though the smile was old and unfathomable, it carried a trace of ambition that could not be concealed.
“Good.”
The old clan leader slowly rose to his feet. “You little brat truly are becoming more and more formidable. You have ambition. This seat will trust you once.”
Then the old clan leader said gravely, “When the time comes, this seat will secretly dispatch thirty elite warriors to blend into the ranks of the various clans. I will instruct them to obey your orders alone. In addition, this seat will also send one of our clan elders along. At the crucial moment, he will lend you a hand and ensure that this matter proceeds without the slightest mishap.”
Shi Ritian was overjoyed. With a thud, he dropped to his knees and kowtowed heavily. “Many thanks, Old Ancestor! Many thanks for granting this wish! This time, our Giant Spirit Clan will surely change completely and become something all others can only gaze up at from afar.”
Shi Doutian waved a hand and was just about to leave, but suddenly paused. Turning back, he said, “Remember, if this succeeds, then our Dragon-Elephant Giant Spirit Clan will become the head of the Ancient Royal Clan. But if it fails...”
