Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor-Chapter 1477 The Second Piece

"A few noteworthy things," Xie Huan answered. "Our spy could not get much information from the academy since Kong has kept everything tight. We know that Old Ma has surrendered, and he captured Jimin for a grand plan, but that's all."

"I'm getting intrigued about what he's planning," Wang Wei commented.

"Isn't it obvious? He's trying to build his academy," Wang Qi commented.

"That's just surface level," Wang Wei shook his head. "He has something planned that will make achieving his goal easier." He did not have enough information to deduce something concrete, so Wang Wei was left with simulating thousands of possibilities.

"How did the seminar go?" he asked.

"By all measures, it was a success," Xie Huan answered. "He recruited many loose cultivators, and the rest owed him a karmic debt. The academy's luck thrived afterward."

"Did anyone try to interfere?"

"Yes, there was a small disruption, but Kong showed his might by easily suppressing it," Xie Huan replied.

"Were there people behind the disruptors?"

"Yes, but they left no traces," Xie Huan continued. "The way there was absolutely no trace does indicate that it was likely one of the 13."

"In any other era, they would not allow Kong to so easily spread knowledge that can improve the overall strength of these loose cultivators," Wang Wei commented before sneezing. "Especially the Limitless Exchange Hall. Kong's stunt has prevented them from exploiting these loose cultivators with that knowledge."

"Isn't Kong worried about offending so many people? A shuffle is coming and the Overlords, especially the weaker ones, are wary of any faction with potential to reach their level," Wang Qi said.

"They will be wary of him whether he likes it or not, so why worry?" Wang Wei chuckled. "On the contrary, now that the Overlords are in a weakened state, it is the perfect time for him to act with impunity."

"Are you saying he'll do even more?" Wang Qi asked.

"Most definitely," Wang Wei nodded. "He's just waiting for the right time, which I'm about to give him."

"He's waiting for you to be occupied," Wang Qi said with shining eyes.

"If I guess correctly, his next target should be the weaker academies with little to no affiliations. And if he has the balls, he'll also target the large academies."

"But those are affiliations of the Grand Sect Alliance?" Wang Qi asked.

"It's a calculated move," Wang Wei said. "The Grand Sect Alliance will need to recuperate after the lock. Their Primals will take some time to return to their peak, time that Kong will need to become a Primal."

"That…seems a little too bold," Wang Qi frowned. "Even if he succeeds, he'll only be one Primal against five."

"He alone is enough," Wang Wei replied. "As long as he used the threat of possibly joining another Overlord, especially us, it should be enough to stop the Grand Sect Alliance and buy him enough time. However, a bolder approach would be for Lin Fan, Xu Shi, and Nine Death to become Primal around…the same…time as him."

Wang Wei's brow furrowed as he caught an inspiration. He remembered the conversation he had with Kong at the Academy. "So, that's what he is planning? That explains why he was so eager to rapidly increase his realm or save these people — he wanted to build momentum for his case."

"Have you figured it out?" Wang Qi asked. "Well, what is it?"

Wang Wei did not answer him but looked in the distance instead. "Want to fight with me? Lucky for you, I never planned to continue holding that burden again." Wang Qi wanted an answer but he knew the patriarch long enough to know when he's willing to talk and when he won't. So, he could only sigh to himself.

"Lord, do you need me to put more people in Kong's academy?"

"Yes," Wang Wei nodded. He wanted to give Kong the illusion that he knew nothing of his goal and wanted to find out at all costs. "Anything else to report?"

"There have been small-scale confrontations between the demon race and the Innate Demon Gods."

"Already?"

"They've controlled themselves, but it appeared war might immediately start after the lock."

"Those two factions know destiny has arrived to finally determine victory between them," Wang Wei sighed. "However, it's a stupid move to start fighting before we know what the upcoming catastrophe is." Wang Wei realized he may have to play peace-maker between these two. Although he also has plans to eliminate his competitors, that's only after knowing what the sect will be facing and how to survive.

'Wait, I don't have to play peace-maker since their ancestors will return and should understand the current need for peace,' he realized. Ever since the lock, his mind has been functioning based on taking on all the world's burdens. However, after the lock, there will be plenty of people capable of helping/protecting the world.

"I remember the association destroyed the Southern Chu Dynasty. What happened to the Third Prince?" "He escaped," Xie Huan replied.

"Escaping from Tong Ruobing's hands? Was she sloppy, or is he that capable?" Wang Wei muttered. "Did the Qin Court hide him?"

"Our spy did not send news of any changes in the court," Xie Huan replied truthfully.

"Keep an eye out," Wang Wei ordered. Since they had nothing else to report, Wang Wei dismissed them. A few minutes later, Yu Cong came to report to him about the Qin Prime Minister. The Qin Court bowed their heads and paid to get their prime minister back. Yu Cong even successfully negotiated three times the asking price Wang Wei set.

After dealing with these affairs, Wang Wei finally had some free time and he waved his hand to summon a prisoner: Wrath. After the latter proved the Dao to become a Paragon, he captured and imprisoned her. Wrath looked at him coldly.

"I'm doing this for your own good," Wang Wei said.

"How is this for my good?"

"Because I know you're still a person who acts emotionally despite your cultivation realm," Wang Wei replied. "Don't tell me you didn't plan to rush into that woman's lair and try to rescue these people despite knowing her strength?"

"I'm not weak anymore. At worst, I can escape."

"You've proven my point," Wang Wei sighed.

"I —"

"Alright, I'm in a hurry," Wang Wei said. "Your adopted father should have left a means of protection for you in case I didn't keep my word to protect you. It's time to use it."

Wrath stared at him, but Wang Wei did not care. Instead, he handed her a talisman containing his power of nothingness and an information talisman. "I hope we won't need it, but just in case, this talisman contains Plan B in case negotiation fails."

Wrath read the information and her eyes immediately shone brightly: "When do we start?"

"After I'm done dealing with a pest," Wang Wei replied.

"I'll be waiting."

Wang Wei granted her access to his manor and mountain but she was still not allowed to leave; he still did not trust her. Then, he headed directly to the second piece he needed to remove the lock: Time Eater.
