Post-Mythical Era: I don't want to die in the third reincarnation

Miss Meng Chuan smiled, "In fact, there's nothing much, just that I came to find Mr. Ding Huan, and while I was having tea with Daoist Wu, Chen Chi arrived..."

"What?" Guan Huan was startled and stood up subconsciously.

Chen Chi came?

The reason they allied was to deal with the joint efforts of Daoist Chen Chi, Chang Yun, and the others.

Chen Chi coming to Heavenly Ruins Tao City now, how is that possible?

Miss Meng Chuan continued, "After Chen Chi arrived, Daoist Wu had someone take me to rest, and I voluntarily asked to come here."

Guan Huan calmed down and understood the implication of Miss Meng Chuan's words.

Miss Meng Chuan came to find Ding Huan, and being a Creation Dao Realm Saint, it was only right for Wu Zhu to personally receive her.

After all, in Wu Zhu's eyes, he and Ding Huan are the highest-level guests.

But Wu Zhu seeing Chen Chi arrive, leaving Ding Huan's guest Miss Meng Chuan behind to greet Chen Chi, this is a problem.

Guan Huan immediately sent a message, summoning Bai Yue.

When Bai Yue arrived, Guan Huan told him the matter, and Bai Yue frowned tightly too.

This thing is fishy.

Miss Meng Chuan didn't speak, and after delivering her words, she would soon leave Heavenly Ruins Tao City.

Ding Huan wasn't here, and there's a possibility that Wu Zhu might ally with Chen Chi and others; would she stay here to die?

"Bai Yue, what do you think is the likelihood of Daoist Wu allying with Chen Chi and the others?" Guan Huan, having been calculated against many times, was always a bit uneasy.

Bai Yue said, "Wu Zhu knowing that Meng Dao You and Mr. Ding are friends, yet placing Chen Chi at a higher position, this indicates that Wu Zhu is inclined towards allying with Chen Chi.

I guess he wasn't sure where to start, and this time, with Chen Chi coming over, it just gave him the opportunity."

After saying this, Bai Yue hesitated for a while and then added, "What I don't understand is, isn't Wu Zhu afraid of Heavenly Ruins Dao Court being divided by the other three Dao Courts?"

Why would Wu Zhu ally with them?

Isn't it because he's worried about being divided by the other three Dao Courts?

Originally, there was only one Heavenly Ruins Dao Court in Little Heavenly Ruins, but now it's been divided into several, yet Wu Zhu is still not alert?

Guan Huan sighed, "I guess it might have something to do with Brother Ding Huan. Brother Ding Huan left Heavenly Ruins Tao City more than a hundred years ago, and there's no news of when he'll return.

Wu Zhu is actually quite anxious in his heart; if Chen Chi brings some pressure on Wu Zhu this time and promises some conditions, I'm afraid Wu Zhu might really ally with them."

Others don't know the power of Ding Huan, but Guan Huan knows too well.

Without Ding Huan, even if he teamed up with two other Creation Realm Cultivators, he couldn't destroy Qu's Dao Court.

Ding Huan's Qu's Genetic Slaughter Law Divine Skills are too terrifying; who could withstand them?

Wu Zhu must have investigated and knows Ding Huan's power, hence has confidence in allying with them.

Now Ding Huan hasn't returned, and Heavenly Ruins Dao Court has no capital; it's strange if Wu Zhu isn't anxious.

"What should we do?" Bai Yue asked.

"I'll send a message to Brother Ding Huan immediately, and if there's no response, we'll leave Heavenly Ruins Tao City.

If Wu Zhu and Chen Chi ally, staying here might not give us a chance to survive."

Guan Huan said in a deep voice, believing Ding Huan had a way.

Initially intending to leave after delivering the message, Miss Meng Chuan, upon hearing that Guan Huan also planned to leave, didn't mention leaving anymore.

...

Guest Hall of Heavenly Ruins Tao City Daoist.

After a round of spirit tea and everyone exchanged pleasantries,

Wu Zhu, with a hypocritical smile, looked at Chen Chi before him:

"Brother Chen, long time no see. Originally, I planned to visit to thank you for helping my little daughter, but after returning to Heavenly Ruins Tao City, I was entangled with trivial matters, unable to make the trip."

Chen Chi stood up, his face solemn, and bowed to Wu Zhu.

Wu Zhu, surprised, quickly stood up and tried to modestly support Chen Chi: "Brother Chen, between you and me, what is the meaning of this?"

Chen Chi sighed, "Brother Wu, I'm here to apologize; I was too petty before, and this time I sincerely want to ask for your forgiveness."

After speaking, he didn't wait for Wu Zhu to respond but took the initiative to explain, "To be honest, back when I spoke up for niece Jie Na, it wasn't with a good heart.

It was sheer selfishness, always wanting to fully incorporate Great Wheel Mountain into Great Wheel Dao Court, alas..."

Wu Zhu was increasingly shocked, not understanding what Chen Chi meant by these words.

Everyone understood these words in their heart, but no one would bring them up.

The most famous part of Great Wheel Dao Court is Great Wheel Mountain, and a large part of Great Wheel Mountain is in Great Wheel Dao Court, while a small part belongs to Heavenly Ruins Dao Court.

Chen Chi wanting the complete Great Wheel Mountain is something everyone is aware of.

Chen Chi sighed and then changed the topic, "Brother Wu, let's not talk about the past, after all, Little Heavenly Ruins being divided into several Dao Courts was caused by various reasons.

Now that Qu's Dao Court is gone, continuing to fight is meaningless. I think our Dao Courts should unite and face the outside together."

"Face the outside together?" Wu Zhu looked at Chen Chi puzzled.

Chen Chi nodded, "We've investigated Ding Huan and Guan Huan; they aren't native cultivators of Little Heavenly Ruins but come from outside the region..."

Wu Zhu remained silent, not being a fool.

If it were truly as grand as Chen Chi said, why would he need to team up with the 'Heavenly Ruins Two Huans'?

He could even be certain that if he agreed to team up with Chen Chi to deal with Ding Huan and Guan Huan, once they succeeded, the next step would be the end of his Heavenly Ruins Dao Court.

Today he intends to probe Chen Chi's trump card.

Wu Zhu sighed inwardly: "Still a bit lacking in strength, if he were stronger, he wouldn't let Chen Chi in today.

Even if he did let Chen Chi in, he'd find a way to take him down."

As Chen Chi walked into this Guest Hall, he was already aware of Wu Zhu's vacillating thoughts.

He knew it was time to go all out: "Brother Wu, my purpose here really is for the stability of Little Heavenly Ruins.

Did you know that not long ago Ji's Commerce added another Creation Realm powerhouse. Now Great Wheel Commerce, Ji's Commerce, and Ruins Star Commerce have all opted to ally with our three Dao Courts..."

"Three Dao Courts?" Despite being mentally prepared, hearing about the alliance of the three Dao Courts made Wu Zhu tremble as he asked.

Although Chen Chi didn't make it explicit, his tone was exceedingly courteous.

In Wu Zhu's ears, every word from Chen Chi was a threat to him.

Chen Chi confidently asserted: "Yes, it's the alliance of the three Dao Courts. I believe Brother Wu is aware of my strength.

Changxing Dao Court's Daoist Chang Yun is on the verge of advancing to the Fourth Step, and aside from Daoist Chang Yun, Changxing Dao Court also has another Creation Realm powerhouse.

Adding to this is Extreme Origin Dao Court's Dao You Zuo Qiong, along with the four Creation Realm powerhouses from the three major commerce groups..."

At this point, Chen Chi paused and smiled at Wu Zhu: "Brother Wu, do you think you and 'Heavenly Ruins Duo Huan' stand any chance?"

Wu Zhu fell silent.

What chance do they have?

Altogether, there are eight Creation Realm powerhouses, and their side only has two. How can they fight?

Zuo Qiong and Chang Yun have never gotten along; why are they teaming up now?

Now is not the time to think about these things.

Deep down, he desperately wished to kill Chen Chi and Chang Yun immediately, reclaim all the territories they hold.

Reason told him that's impossible.

If he continued to ally with Ding Huan and Guan Huan, the Heavenly Ruins Dao Court was doomed.

Teaming up with Chen Chi, the Heavenly Ruins Dao Court would also face destruction, although it would postpone the inevitable slightly.

At least, it would be after defeating the 'Heavenly Ruins Duo Huan.'

Since destruction is inevitable, why bother making concessions?

Why should he sit here listening to Chen Chi's threats?

Thinking about this, Wu Zhu's lips curled into a faint sneer.

Seeing Wu Zhu's sneer, Chen Chi realized that without presenting the final offer, Wu Zhu would not submit.

Without waiting for Wu Zhu to speak, he smiled and said: "I know Brother Wu harbors deep reservations about us and isn't keen on trusting any of us.

Therefore, we've shown our sincerity, offering to swear an oath by the Great Dao, that for ten thousand years, no disputes will be allowed within the alliance..."

Wu Zhu's eyes lit up, and without a trace of hesitation, he said:

"I agree to cooperate, but everyone must swear by the Great Dao Oath. For one hundred thousand years, no direct or indirect action against the Heavenly Ruins Dao Court is allowed for any reason."

Before he had no choice, but now he does; why should he care about the fate of Ding Huan and Guan Huan?

In his view, nothing matters more than the Heavenly Ruins Dao Court.

He wouldn't agree to just ten thousand years, but a hundred thousand years is acceptable.

A hundred thousand years is enough for him to cultivate a flawless next generation.

All his future efforts will be dedicated to nurturing an exceptional heir.

As long as his son can enter the Creation Saint Realm, he has the means to push him to the Fourth Step of Dao.

This is Wu Zhu's secret, the legacy of the Witch Clan.

Chen Chi laughed heartily: "Alright, it's settled."

"You agreed?" Wu Zhu looked at Chen Chi in surprise; he expected Chen Chi would consult with the others, yet instead, he agreed directly.

Chen Chi's laughter faded as he spoke solemnly: "Brother Wu, actually, this initiative was proposed by Brother Chang Yun. The enmity between Brother Chang Yun and the Duo Huan is deep-rooted, as you know..."

This Wu Zhu believed.

With Ding Huan and Guan Huan's prowess in vanquishing Qu's Dao Court, who wouldn't be fearful?

Moreover, Chang Yun and Guan Huan's enmity runs deep.

It's clear that next the 'Heavenly Ruins Duo Huan's' target will be Changxing Dao Court.

"What about Zuo Qiong?" Wu Zhu was eager to understand why Zuo Qiong would set aside hatred for Chang Yun and agree to ally.

Chen Chi replied: "I won't hide from you; you should know my aim against Ding Huan is for the 'Dao Scroll of Light.' As for Zuo Qiong, he simply wants to take Ding Huan away."

Wu Zhu's mouth held a bitter smile.

Chang Yun seeks vengeance, Chen Chi and Zuo Qiong each have their motivations.

Only him...

By joining forces with these individuals, he gained no advantage—only a promise that there would be no action against his Heavenly Ruins Dao Court for a hundred thousand years.

Crucially, this alliance is directed against his former allies.

He has no choice but to agree because he doesn't want the Heavenly Ruins Dao Court destroyed under his stewardship.

If he didn't consent, the Heavenly Ruins Dao Court would surely be wiped out.
