"The Black Cat Clan is about to make their move!"
Upon hearing this news, Lu Tao and the others instantly understood.
This news must have come from the Black Cat Clan.
Their purpose was clearly to use this news to attract the attention of the god-kings of various races, preferably to lure them to the place of celestial upheaval. At that time, the black cat clan could then act recklessly without harming themselves.
But the tribes aren't fools; would they fall for it?
Lu Tao pondered for a moment and said, "Since I sold the Black Cat Clan's secrets to the other clans before, the Xuan Turtle Clan will probably guess that I would sell the news of Elder Turtle's serious injury to the Black Cat Clan now..."
Lu Tao knew very well that the Xuan Turtle Clan, despite their simple and honest appearance, were not stupid.
Since Lu Tao went so far as to 'save' his enemy, the True Dragon Clan, in order to create chaos in the Desolate Region, and was willing to expose the secrets of the Black Cat Clan, it is highly likely that he will now sell the matter of Elder Turtle's serious injury to the Black Cat Clan again.
There was only one thing Lu Tao wasn't quite sure about.
That is, given that Elder Gui was seriously injured and on the verge of death, would Elder Gui, or rather, the Xuan Turtle Clan, dare to tell Ao Chen about his serious injury, or how much of it would they tell him?
The incident of Lu Tao cursing the old turtle did not happen in full view of everyone, but only within the Xuan Turtle Clan and the Immortal Sect.
Other races don't have such an outrageous artifact as the telescope.
It is not easy for the various tribes to know the specific situation of the Xuan Turtle Clan.
However, now that the Black Cat Clan has suddenly revealed such news, the Xuan Turtle Clan must have guessed that the Black Cat Clan has designs on them. Therefore, in order to avoid being besieged by the Black Cat Clan, the Xuan Turtle Clan will most likely inform Ao Chen at least about Elder Turtle's serious injury.
Lu Tao was quite curious whether Ao Chen would be tempted by the tortoise shell on the old turtle.
Similarly, what thoughts and preparations will they have after learning of the black cat clan's intentions?
With this in mind, Lu Tao immediately instructed, "Xiaotian, do not leave for the time being. Keep a close eye on the movements of the Xuan Turtle Clan and the other clans."
"Yes, boss!"
...
"Did the Cat Emperor Sutra originate from a celestial upheaval?"
On the other side.
Ao Chen's expression changed repeatedly after learning the news.
The Cat Emperor Scripture, a Hunyuan cultivation technique, was something Ao Chen had long coveted. Upon suddenly hearing that the Cat Emperor Scripture came from the Heavenly Change Territory, Ao Chen instinctively chose to believe it.
This is truly a Primordial Chaos Technique, the first of its kind to appear in the entire Desolate Region.
It was hard for it to believe that such a lowly bloodline as the Black Cat Clan could create such a technique.
If it came from a sudden and devastating event, then it would make perfect sense.
The world changes and the earth is destroyed, but this has existed since ancient times.
Even a god-king wouldn't dare venture into the depths of this forbidden land, for it had no idea what lay within.
After confirming that Lu Tao had ascended from the Heavenly Change Absolute Land and that there was an Ascension Pool inside, Ao Chen knew that there was at least one city deep within the Heavenly Change Absolute Land, and there might even be other heaven-defying existences.
otherwise.
How could the Heavenly Change of the Desolate Land keep an Ascension Pool firmly fixed in the Desolate Land for countless years, preventing it from moving even an inch?
If the Black Cat Clan's Cat Emperor Scripture came from a celestial upheaval, it would naturally believe it.
However, the timing of this news was too coincidental.
It happened to be when Old Turtle was seriously injured.
Thinking of this, Ao Chen couldn't help but ponder, "Could it be that this bastard Lu Tao has once again sold the fact that Elder Turtle was seriously injured to the Black Cat Clan? Does he want to use the Black Cat Clan's power to kill Elder Turtle and destroy the Xuan Turtle Clan?"
"That must be it! That bastard is incredibly cunning, always plotting in the shadows, and we can only be used by him. He deserves to die!"
The more Ao Chen thought about it, the more likely it seemed.
From Lu Tao's perspective, selling this information would allow him to make a profit regardless of the Black Cat Clan's choice, and it would also disrupt the Black Cat Clan's plans.
This has left the Black Cat Clan torn between taking action or continuing to hide.
"I never imagined that one day my races would be so toyed with by a mere god."
Ao Chen felt somewhat helpless.
The kind of thing that involves wantonly manipulating races and controlling the fate of other races is usually something that only a hegemon like itself, or at least the chieftain of a top-tier race, can do behind the scenes.
As it turned out, Lu Tao was not only secretly manipulating the Black Cat Clan, but also treating the various clans of the Desolate Region as pawns, placing them at will.
Even knowing this, they still have to 'cooperate' and let him use their strength.
This is so frustrating!
"However, the Black Cat Clan was definitely afraid of being tricked by Lu Tao. Upon receiving the news, they didn't attack the Xuan Turtle Clan; instead, they leaked the information..."
Ao Chen knew that although the Black Cat Clan didn't mind being used by Lu Tao as a pawn to take revenge on other clans, they also had deep-seated hatred for Lu Tao and were worried about being tricked to death by him.
Now that news of the Cat Emperor's Scripture has surfaced, the initiative can be put in their own hands.
Fortunately, the Black Cat Clan had some reservations; otherwise, if they had actually attacked the Xuan Turtle Clan, Ao Chen and the others would have had a very difficult time to react and provide support.
However, this has put the various tribes in a difficult position.
Whether the Cat Emperor Scripture truly originated from the Heavenly Transformation Wasteland or not, such a Primordial Chaos Technique, capable of significantly enhancing the overall strength of a race, would tempt all races, even with the slightest possibility of such a feat.
If all the races actually send out their God-Kings and enter the perilous land of celestial change, then the desolate region will surely be purged by the Black Cat Clan and Lu Tao.
It's not just the Xuan Turtle Clan that's at risk; all races could be affected.
However, if they do not go to the perilous land of Tianbian to search, those races and forces that have no grudges against Lu Tao or the Black Cat Clan will inevitably step into the perilous land.
If these forces were to obtain the Primordial Chaos Technique, it would be adding insult to injury for all the races.
Over the years, the True Dragon Clan has dominated the desolate region, and many races have formed friendly relations with the True Dragon Clan.
Especially after their failure to defeat Lu Tao in the lower realm, having Lu Tao as a common enemy, along with the Black Cat Clan, their relationship became even closer.
Therefore, they essentially band together, excluding certain races and factions.
This inevitably makes other races and forces extremely unhappy.
If these forces were to obtain the Primordial Chaos Technique, they would certainly not sell it to the True Dragon Clan, nor to any race that is on friendly terms with the True Dragon Clan. Moreover, once their strength increases, they would become a major threat to them.
Furthermore...
How could the Dragon Clan and other top races stand idly by and watch other races rise to power by obtaining the Primordial Chaos Technique?
However, with Lu Tao and the Black Cat Clan posing a hidden threat, how could they abandon their race and allow their clan's God-King to enter the perilous land of celestial change?
We can't just leave with all the members of our race in this small world, can we?
If they fail, it will mean the extinction of the race!
As for leaving the God-King behind and sending the God-Lord level experts to explore the perilous land of the heavenly transformation, that would undoubtedly be suicide.
Only the God-King can go.
Therefore, at this moment, not only was Ao Chen extremely conflicted, but all the other clans that had grudges against the Immortal Sect and the Black Cat Clan were also in the same boat.
They don't know how to choose.
With the departure of the God-King, the remaining races will face the threat of extermination from the Black Cat Clan and the Immortal Sect.
The God-King's actions will give other races and forces the opportunity to rise, and more races like the Black Cat Clan will emerge in the future.
"Ugh! Damn it! They all deserve to die!"
At this moment, Ao Chen hated Lu Tao and the Black Cat Clan to the extreme.
After venting his anger, Ao Chen quickly calmed down, his mind racing as he considered everything. After a while, Ao Chen's eyes suddenly narrowed, and he thought to himself, "Since the Black Cat Clan is willing to divert us God-Kings and attack the Xuan Turtle Clan, then let them have their way and give them a chance to make their move!"
Ao Chen quickly devised a plan in his mind!
Ao Chen then immediately sent a message to Elder Gui, informing him of his plan.
The old turtle had already woken up and, upon hearing this, agreed, but also said, "Ao Chen, since you want to use my Xuan Turtle Clan as bait to lure out the Black Cat Clan, my clan cannot take the risk for nothing."
Old Turtle's meaning was quite straightforward: he wanted payment.
In fact, Old Turtle was also quite helpless.
Having few other options, it could only tell Ao Chen about its serious injuries. Although it concealed some of the injuries, if it used the Xuan Turtle Clan as bait to lure the Black Cat Clan into making a move, the other races would find out.
This is a huge risk to Old Man Gui's safety.
Not every god-king is as rational as Ao Chen.
The old tortoise was well aware of how attractive its shell was to the God-King, especially to a God-King at the peak of his power.
If any powerful being with such ambitions were to set its sights on it, not only would it be in serious trouble, but the entire Xuan Turtle Clan would also be in considerable distress.
Old Turtle understood that this was why Ao Chen chose to discuss the plan with it first, rather than making a decision directly.
"Don't worry, Elder Turtle, I have collected a lot of healing items, and I will definitely help you recover."
Upon hearing this, Ao Chen understood Elder Gui's thoughts and added, "In addition, I will ensure the safety of Elder Gui and the Xuan Turtle Clan."
The old turtle agreed, saying, "Alright, then you should contact the various tribes."
"good!"
Afterwards, Ao Chen sent a message to all the clans, informing them of the serious injury to Elder Turtle. He then analyzed the Black Cat Clan's conspiracy for them and finally revealed his own plan.
While the god-kings of the various races were overjoyed that the Cat Emperor Scripture had suddenly come from the Heavenly Change Territory, they were suddenly doused with cold water by the news revealed by Ao Chen.
They never expected that even a half-step Divine Emperor like Elder Turtle would be seriously injured by Lu Tao's scheme.
They were even so badly injured that the Black Cat Clan, which had suffered heavy losses, dared to harbor some thoughts about the Xuan Turtle Clan.
Of course, that's secondary.
The main point is that, after Ao Chen's analysis, some of the races that hadn't reacted before now realized that the news revealed by the Black Cat Clan was both an opportunity and a huge risk for them.
The key point is that they have no choice but to bravely embark on this adventure.
When Ao Chen told them about the plan, the various tribes thought about it briefly and then agreed.
Next.
The various tribes continuously discussed and refined their plans through communication.
Then, shortly after other races and forces sent their God-Kings into the Heavenly Transformation Forbidden Land, races that were on good terms with the True Dragon Clan also sent their God-Kings into the Heavenly Transformation Forbidden Land one after another after activating their respective clan protection formations.
But they were all at the mid-stage of the God King realm!
