Turns Out, I’m In A Villain Clan - Chapter 633
Chapter 633: The Alliance He Never Expected
The more Yu Wenzhao thought about it, the more his expression darkened.
At first, the idea sounded absurd.
Yu Feiyan and Yu Qingya working together?
Of all the remaining competitors for the throne, they all should be enemies.
Sooner or later, they would inevitably have to fight one another.
There was simply no way around it.
Yet as Yu Wenzhao replayed the events of the past several days in his mind, the impossible gradually became the most reasonable explanation.
His eyes slowly narrowed.
If Yu Feiyan and Yu Qingya had truly formed an alliance…
Then everything suddenly made sense.
Why had there been no battle?
Why had the Frost Lily Pavilion remained completely intact?
Why had no one heard the sounds of fighting?
Why had Yu Feiyan’s forces seemingly vanished from the world?
The answer was simple!
There had never been a battle in the first place.
Yu Feiyan’s forces had likely entered the Frost Lily Pavilion.
Hidden within the sect’s territory, they naturally would not be visible to outside observers.
Likewise, if both sides were allies rather than enemies, there would be no chaos.
The strange blank period that had confused him for days suddenly became far easier to explain.
Yet that only created another question.
Why?
Why would Yu Qingya agree?
Why would Yu Feiyan trust her?
Both of them were competitors for the throne.
Even if they joined forces today, they would eventually become enemies tomorrow.
No matter how Yu Wenzhao viewed it, such an alliance should have been extremely unlikely.
However, whether he understood their reasons no longer mattered.
Because the reality was standing directly before him.
Yu Qingya was there.
Yu Feiyan was there.
And neither showed the slightest hostility toward the other.
Could they have planned to work together to deal with him?
The one with the greatest chance of becoming Emperor!
This seemed to be the likely reason as to why even though two of them were also enemies but had to form an alliance.
After all, Yu Wenzhao believes that among the competitors, there was truly no one who could defeat him now.
Perhaps that realization has pushed Yu Qingya and Yu Feiyan to form a temporary alliance.
The surrounding experts of the Heaven Suppression Pavilion and Crimson Thunder Palace were also gradually reaching the same conclusion.
Their expressions became increasingly ugly.
“If they truly joined forces, then their combined strength is no joke.”
“They might have intentionally lured us in as well. Who knows what trump card they might have prepared?”
They slowly realized that the lamb to be slaughtered wasn’t so easy to do now.
Yu Wenzhao slowly exhaled.
Originally, he had intended to hunt weakened prey.
Instead, it appeared he had arrived before two fully intact factions.
And perhaps, two factions that had deliberately allowed him to come.
His eyes swept across Yu Feiyan and Yu Qingya once more.
Neither princess appeared nervous. Neither showed fear despite being surrounded by his overwhelming army.
That alone was enough to make Yu Wenzhao wary.
However, only for a moment.
Soon, the coldness within his eyes returned.
Alliance?
So what?
Even if the two had truly joined forces, it did not change everything.
It merely changed the difficulty of the battle.
His current foundation was not what it had been before.
The Crimson Thunder Palace had already fallen into his hands.
His faction now possessed two Earth Immortal Realm experts.
Nearly fifteen Immortal Realm cultivators.
Countless Great Ascension Realm experts.
Even if Yu Feiyan and Yu Qingya combined their strength, defeating him would not be easy.
Perhaps the losses would be greater than expected.
Perhaps the battle would become more troublesome.
But he still did not believe he would lose.
Slowly, Yu Wenzhao smiled.
It was no longer the relaxed smile from earlier.
This smile was colder, sharper, and more dangerous.
“So that’s how it is.”
His voice echoed across the battlefield.
Yu Qingya remained silent.
Yu Feiyan merely smiled faintly.
Seeing their reactions, Yu Wenzhao became even more certain.
His gaze swept across both women.
Although he remained confident in victory, Yu Wenzhao had no intention of fighting both factions at the same time if it could be avoided.
After all, victory and effortless victory were two completely different things.
The current situation was troublesome precisely because Yu Feiyan and Yu Qingya appeared united.
If he could break that unity…
Then everything would become much easier.
A faint smile appeared on Yu Wenzhao’s face.
His expression gradually relaxed.
His gaze moved between the two women.
“So the two of you truly joined forces?”
Neither Yu Qingya nor Yu Feiyan replied.
Yu Wenzhao did not seem bothered.
Instead, he slowly shook his head.
“Though I must admit, I never expected the Fourth Sister to make such a foolish choice.”
His eyes settled on Yu Qingya.
“After all, there is only one throne.”
Yu Wenzhao continued.
“You are competitors. Even if the two of you defeat me today…”
His smile widened slightly.
“What then?”
His voice echoed across the sky.
“Will you continue being loving sisters forever?”
A few experts behind him chuckled softly.
Yu Wenzhao’s tone became increasingly mocking.
“Don’t be ridiculous. The moment I fall, the alliance between the two of you will lose its purpose.”
“Eventually, one of you will sit upon the throne and the other will kneel.”
His gaze locked onto Yu Qingya.
“Or perhaps die.”
Silence!
Yu Qingya’s expression remained unchanged.
His eyes swept across the Frost Lily Pavilion below.
“Fourth Sister.”
His voice became softer.
“Have you truly thought this through?”
He slowly gestured toward the Frost Lily Pavilion.
“This is your foundation. The Frost Lily Pavilion has supported you for years.”
“If war breaks out here today, who do you think will suffer the greatest losses?”
His eyes narrowed.
“The Frost Lily Pavilion!”
Yu Wenzhao paused briefly before speaking again.
“And when the dust settles?”
His gaze shifted toward Yu Feiyan.
“The greatest beneficiary won’t be you. It will be the Ninth Sister.”
The expressions of several Frost Lily Pavilion elders changed slightly.
Yu Wenzhao immediately noticed it.
A faint smile appeared.
He pressed forward relentlessly.
“Think about it carefully. Right now, Yu Feiyan is standing inside your territory.”
“Her forces are inside your sect. You possess the advantage.”
His voice became increasingly persuasive.
“If you act now…”
His finger pointed toward Yu Feiyan.
“You may very well be able to capture her and her forces with ease.”
The surrounding Heaven Suppression Pavilion experts immediately understood what Yu Wenzhao was doing.
They remained silent.
Allowing him to continue.
Yu Wenzhao’s gaze remained fixed upon Yu Qingya.
“At that point, your strength may even rival mine. Your chances of becoming the next Emperor would increase tremendously.”
The battlefield fell silent once more.
Countless gazes turned toward Yu Qingya.
Even some Frost Lily Pavilion disciples subconsciously looked toward her.
After all, Yu Wenzhao’s words were not entirely unreasonable.
There truly was only one throne.
Sooner or later, Yu Feiyan and Yu Qingya would have to become enemies.
At least, that was what everyone believed.
Even Yu Wenzhao himself became increasingly confident.
No alliance was truly unbreakable, especially one built between rivals.
Yet, to everyone’s surprise—
Yu Qingya’s expression did not change in the slightest.
It was as though Yu Wenzhao’s words had completely failed to affect her.
Finally, she spoke.
Her voice was calm, almost indifferent.
“I have no interest in the throne.”
The moment those words left her mouth, the entire battlefield froze.
Yu Wenzhao’s smile immediately stiffened.
The Heaven Suppression Pavilion elders stared blankly.
Even many Frost Lily Pavilion disciples looked shocked.
For a brief moment, complete silence descended upon the battlefield.
Yu Wenzhao frowned.
“You what?”
This might be the biggest joke he had ever heard.
Yu Qingya had no interest in the throne?
Then what was she doing gathering various forces, including the Frost Lily Pavilion?
Why hadn’t she withdrawn before the battle for the throne began?
Yu Qingya’s gaze remained calm.
“I said…”
Her eyes slowly moved toward Yu Feiyan.
“I have no interest in becoming Emperor.”
Shock flashed across countless faces.
Yu Wenzhao stared at her as though he had misheard.
The throne war had already reached this stage.
Yet now she was claiming she never cared about the throne?
Yu Qingya continued.
Her voice remained steady.
“The rightful owner of the throne…”
She looked directly at Yu Feiyan.
“…Is the Ninth Sister.”
Boom!
The statement struck everyone like a thunderbolt.
The Heaven Suppression Pavilion experts were completely stunned.
The Crimson Thunder Palace elders froze.
Even Yu Wenzhao’s pupils contracted.
Meanwhile, Yu Feiyan merely smiled softly.
At that moment, the atmosphere became incomparably strange.
Because everyone could hear it clearly.
Yu Qingya’s words contained neither reluctance nor unwillingness.
They were genuine.
Yu Wenzhao suddenly understood something.
If Yu Qingya truly had no desire for the throne…
Then the greatest weakness in his entire plan no longer existed.
There would be no betrayal.
No internal conflict.
No struggle for power between the two women.
At least not in the way he had anticipated.
That means that he might need to fight against the forces of the two princesses!
