Stop it, Taoist, Your Fight almost Ruins the DAO!

After a while.

Miao Zi's wails gradually subsided.

It turned its head to look at Yi Chen who had stopped his actions, unable to suppress its curiosity:

"Dad, why aren't you hitting anymore?"

"Hmph, it's boring, do you think I can't see through your little schemes?"

"I'm just humoring you, so your filial piety doesn't go to waste."

"Do you really think a peerless powerhouse like me needs comfort from you, Miao Zi? Rest assured, even if both the Taoist Emperor and Asna decide to join forces to exterminate me, I still have a trump card."

Yi Chen patted Miao Zi's head, and gently said, at this moment, however, he lifted his head, gazing beyond the palace barriers, into the distant future.

Although looking at the situation, it's unlikely for either the Taoist Emperor or Asna to join forces against him, as it risks pushing Yi Chengzi to the other side. However, there was still a deadly risk—the possibility of the Taoist Emperor and Asna teaming up to eliminate him early on and kick him out of the game.

This was the main source of pressure in Yi Chen's heart at the moment.

Others may not know, but Miao Zi has been with Yi Chen for a long time. As the leader of the traitorous spirit beast ranks, it keenly sensed the pressure in Yi Chen's heart, which is why it pretended to 'rebel' and act mischievously,

hoping that by comforting his father in this way, he could feel a bit more at ease.

"Alright, Miao Zi, Dad is satisfied with your intention."

"But your acting needs more polish; you can leave now, Dad wants to be alone for a while."

"Don't worry, even if the sky falls, it won't kill your dad. Dad can still take you all and run together."

Yi Chen patted Miao Zi's head and gave a wry smile.

With Miao Zi's obedient departure, the Great Hall quickly fell into silence.

You could hear a pin drop!

Yi Chen tapped his forefinger rhythmically on the table, beginning to review.

He admitted that there was indeed an element of gambling in the game he's playing this time, but Asna and Bo Xun were pressing hard, and the situation no longer allowed him to slowly plan.

He had already become the elephant in the room; no matter how well he hid, where could he conceal himself?

Dao Fruit cultivators are all renowned figures in the Cosmic Sea. Before escaping from the Lingxia Realm, he realized that to seek life in the face of death, his only advantage was to counter quickly with speed.

Although Asna and Bo Xun are formidable with vast resources, their bases are widespread, whereas he has a small ship that can turn easily. As long as he gets onto the table early, he can use force against force.

"True powerhouses never complain about the environment, nor do they place their fate in others' choices!"

Yi Chen's expression was indifferent, freezing like a statue on the Blood-Colored Throne.

Yet in his mind, a brainstorm was growing.

Though his plan seemed almost perfect, even to an extent where he reached the limits of what he could accomplish, except for the variable of virtuous and evil forces teaming up, no matter what choices the Taoist Emperor and others make, he was set to win big.

Because he earned precious time.

Moreover, the progress on the 31st breakthrough of the True Technique requiring 2.5 trillion Deep Red Points was already halfway through under his operations.

"Damn, just give this poor Daoist a little more time!"

"Don't you dare one-shot me with my eighteen cards; you have to fight among yourselves fiercely!"

"Once I break through with the True Technique again, I, Yi Chengzi, will take you all on, damn it!"

Yi Chen slammed a fist fiercely onto the armrest of the throne and stood up abruptly.

His work was done, now he should wait for the response from the Taoist Emperor and others, and he could also cast a few more hooks.

"Someone, summon Left Envoy Liu to meet me at Giant Shark Lake; I have tasks to entrust to him!"

After giving the order, Yi Chen's figure flickered, and he immediately vanished from the throne.

——

In the Venerable Buddha Realm, behind the Heavenly Gate.

Two familiar figures once again emerged on the Light Mirror projection.

If not the Taoist Emperor and Demon Emperor, then who could it be?

What was a well-laid plan suddenly sprouted complications, forcing the three to reconvene and discuss how to handle this unexpectedly emerging dragon crossing the river.

"Taoist Emperor, since that Deep Red King really isn't one of yours, should we destroy or appease this person?"

The Buddha Emperor asked first.

"Buddha Emperor, don't probe around, do you really think we can destroy anything right now?"

"Since there's still distrust towards me, why not contact Asna, Bo Xun, and the Lord of Yumei, to eliminate this Deep Red King first?"

"Do you think when it comes down to it, Asna and they won't worry about us backstabbing and saving the Deep Red King after making a move?"

"An oath on the Dao Fruit cannot take our lives, it just means we pay a larger price."

"Since the Mother of Ten Thousand Insects isn't caught yet, if you don't believe me, as long as Asna or the others contact us to kill the Deep Red King, I have no objection."

"It just depends on whether you trust Asna and them. If they keep the person back then, they would be five overwhelming powerhouses. We would be the ones needing to escape."

The Taoist Emperor cast a cold glance, glaring fiercely at the Demon Emperor before speaking in a cold voice.

"Taoist Emperor, it was the Buddha Emperor speaking, why are you glaring at me? You are so petty."

"You can't blame me and the Buddha Emperor for this matter, after all, it's a significant issue. The Deep Red King Yi Chengzi hails from the Dao Sect, so it's natural for us to think more."

"Therefore, according to your idea, if we're to appease and win them over, what should we do; we must come up with a plan today. I heard rumors below that this person wants to crown himself Deep Red Emperor and monopolize the Youlan Star Path." The Demon Emperor raised an eyebrow and said.
