Villain: Manipulating the Heroines into hating the Protagonist

Chapter 418 Great Battle Of Wang Jian Alongside His Concubines In Southern Region

Inside the opulent chambers of the Heavenly Court, the Immortal Council convened to address the escalating challenges brought about by the awakened ancient beast races.

The Leader of the Heavenly Court, Supreme Immortal Zhengyi, presided over the meeting. Each council member, bearing the distinguished title of Immortal, gathered to discuss the recent setbacks against the Draconic Clan.

Supreme Immortal Zhengyi spoke, his voice echoing with a gravity that matched the situation. ”Esteemed Immortals, the recent clashes with the Draconic Clan have revealed their astonishing strength. We mourn the loss of two high-level Immortal Realm experts to their Prince. This compels us to reassess our strategy.”

Immortal Sage Longwei, renowned for his wisdom, entered the discourse. ”The Prince of the Draconic Clan is proving to be a formidable adversary, even against our strongest. We must face this truth and consider forging strategic alliances to confront this unforeseen challenge.”

In response, Immortal Grandmaster Yunlai, his serene countenance reflecting deep contemplation, added, ”Isolationism no longer serves our interests. The emergence of ancient races necessitates a unified front. We should explore alliances, even with figures like Jiang Chen.”

The mere mention of Jiang Chen, the Ancient Devil, prompted varied reactions among the council. Immortal Commander Xianyu, a seasoned warrior with a discerning gaze, expressed his reservations. ”Jiang Chen has long been a thorn in our side. Can we trust him, even when faced with a common threat?”

Immortal Strategist Hua Yan, recognized for tactical brilliance, responded with a strategic perspective. ”These extraordinary circumstances demand extraordinary measures. Jiang Chenʼs faction holds considerable power. Aligning with them may be our best chance to overcome the challenges posed by the Draconic Clan and other ancient races.”

The council members, each offering unique insights, engaged in an extended deliberation. Immortal Sage Longwei emphasized the importance of gathering intelligence, while Immortal Grandmaster Yunlai highlighted the need for diplomatic finesse.

Supreme Immortal Zhengyi, after careful consideration, addressed the council, ”It is true that the situation demands flexibility. We shall send an envoy to Jiang Chen, proposing a meeting to discuss a potential alliance.”

Immortal Commander Xianyu, though skeptical, acknowledged the severity of the situation. ”Jiang Chen may be a wild card, but alliances can be forged for mutual survival.”

Supreme Immortal Zhengyi concluded the meeting with a firm directive. ”Prepare the envoy and deliver our proposal to Jiang Chen.”

As the council dispersed, the decision to seek an alliance with Jiang Chen set in motion a sequence of events that would shape the destiny of the Heavenly Court in this unpredictable and turbulent era.

Seven days after the initial proposition, Jiang Chen found himself at neutral grounds for the anticipated meeting with the representatives of the Heavenly Court. The ambiance was charged with an air of tension, a palpable mixture of mutual distrust and the necessity for collaboration.

As Jiang Chen arrived, he opted for the diplomatic approach, sending one of his clones rather than exposing his true form. The Heavenly Courtʼs envoy, led by Immortal Commander Xianyu, awaited him. Jiang Chenʼs clone, bearing his distinct aura, approached with measured steps.

Immortal Commander Xianyu, maintaining a composed demeanor, greeted, ”Jiang Chen, your willingness to entertain this alliance is noted. Let us delve into the terms that would bind our factions in cooperation.”

Jiang Chenʼs clone, mirroring the stoic expression, inclined his head in acknowledgment. ”Speak, and letʼs see if our interests align.”

The negotiations commenced with both sides presenting their conditions. Immortal Commander Xianyu, with a direct gaze, asserted, ”For the Heavenly Court to consider an alliance, we demand assurance. You must sign a binding agreement that commits your faction to sincerely abide by the terms until the eradication of the Draconic Clan.”

Jiang Chenʼs clone, perceptive to the complexities of such an agreement, masked his thoughts behind a cryptic smile. ”Binding agreements are delicate matters. We must ensure the terms are fair and just for both parties. I, Jiang Chen, am willing to agree under certain conditions.”

Immortal Commander Xianyu, his expression unyielding, replied, ”Speak your conditions, Jiang Chen.”

Jiang Chenʼs clone, with a discerning glint in his eyes, proposed, ”In exchange for my commitment, I demand the Heavenly Court to hand over the Artifact that seals my powers and abilities. Only then can you be assured that I will be sincerely invested in our collaborative efforts.”

A brief pause ensued as the representatives of the Heavenly Court exchanged glances, contemplating the weight of Jiang Chenʼs request. Immortal Commander Xianyu, after a measured silence, spoke, ”We shall consider your request, Jiang Chen. But understand that the agreement will be changed according to your demands. You canʼt try to harm the Heavenly Court or the human race during this period.”

”As long as you sign to honor the alliance, we will relinquish the Artifact to release your abilities and powers.”

Jiang Chenʼs clone, a glint of shrewdness in his eyes, considered the implications. A binding agreement held complexities and potential pitfalls, but he responded with a smile, ”I am amenable to such terms. Let the agreement be drafted, and I shall affix my seal upon it. Unity against the Draconic Clan benefits us all.”

The negotiations treaded the fine line between cooperation and self-interest. As both parties engaged in the delicate dance of diplomacy, the foundations of an unlikely alliance took shape.

The Thunderclaw Sabertooths, with fur crackling with electricity, clashed with Kang Huianʼs fiery onslaught.

Bixi Shuyanʼs whirlwind cut through the Galewing Manticores, their avian forms scattering in the tempest. Meng Xiangyiʼs earth elemental techniques countered the Stoneshell Rhinogriffs, creating tremors that disrupted their movements.

The Frostbite Yetis, confronted by the icy prowess of Wang Ying and Hua Qiao, found their movements slowing to a crawl.

Xiao Lingʼs sword of ice met the scorching breath of the Flame Vipers, creating an ephemeral dance between fire and frost.

Yue Yanlingʼs wooden tendrils ensnared the elusive Shadowstalk Panthers, limiting their ability to strike from the shadows.

Victoria, with her Golden Roc speed, darted between enemies, disrupting their formations and causing chaos.

Flames soared, winds howled, earth quaked, waters surged, and ice crystallized in a mesmerizing display of elemental might. The Ancient Beast Races, faced with this overwhelming force, found themselves caught in a maelstrom of destruction.
