Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor novel Chapter 1039

Chapter 1039 Old Acquaintance

1039 Old Acquaintance

After returning to the upper dimension, Lin Fan and the other two did not immediately return to the Rebellion; they instead contacted Emperor Kong and the academy using a sensitive code word, as Wang Wei suggested.

"Do you think it will work?" asked Yang Guowei.

"It should," replied Xiao Songxi. "Why don't we ask the others if it worked for him?"

"Alright." Lin Fan sent a message to the people who had already ascended. A few minutes later, he received a reply.

"It's Yin Gen," declared Lin Fan. "According to him, his sect soon sent someone to contact him after using the same codeword. Now, they have established initial contact."

"Really? What about the others?"

"They haven't responded yet, but it should be the same for them," replied Lin Fan, who chose to wait a while. As luck would have it, someone did contact him by sending him a secret location and password. Lin Fan did not hesitate and headed to that destination.

This hideout led him to teleport across multiple continents and dimensions before they finally reached a large mansion, and by that time, he had no idea where he was.

Someone was waiting for them at the mansion's entrance, so Lin Fan and the others followed. Midway through their journey, they encountered someone unexpected.

"Headmaster?" called Lin Fan as he looked at the gentle and prose gentlemen before him.

"I'll take over from here." Bai Han dismissed the guide before concentrating on the group.

"Lin Fan, long time no see."

"I thought you were dead or something."

"Well, you probably were not the only one," replied Bai Han. His forced ascension was definitely the kind of news the Academy would want to hide and not make public.

"What exactly is going on? I thought Xu Shi was the academy's Emperor. And why are there so many Emperors in one generation? What happened to Wang Wei?"

"A lot has happened. If you don't mind, I would like to explain everything immediately after seeing the founder."

"That's...fine. I should not be in a rush. Let's go, I will take you to see my father."

The team followed Bai Han to a large room with a handsome middle-aged man with a noble and wise aura. He sat on a cushion with a small table before him, followed by four seats and tables -one next to him and three before him. Bai Han sat beside his father, and the other three sat opposite this legendary character.

"I apologize that I could not meet you beforehand," said Emperor Kong.

"We understand how complicated the current situation is," replied Lin Fan, who was feeling slightly nervous. Although the founder was not releasing any aura, his presence as an Everlasting Empyrean was still noticeable or palpable.

The tea cups before everyone operated independently and served everybody. "Why don't you start from the beginning?" Lin Fan did not hesitate to tell Emperor Kong everything, starting from his death, his revival, Wang Wei's coronation, the appearance of the Heavenly Court, their contact with the Rebellion, the deal, their descension, and the information Wang Wei provided them.

"Is that so? Many things are making more sense now," muttered Emperor Kong. With history hidden by these people, he lacked many significant pieces of information. Although he discovered and deduced a few things, he was missing the larger picture - until now. Such information will fundamentally affect how he operates from now on.

"So, I was right about him."

Emperor Kong looked at his son and frowned slightly, "Haven't you moved on after so long?"

"Didn't you hear what he said about Wang Wei? I was right to worry about him."

"So what if you were right? Does that mean your actions were justified?"

Bai Han quieted down.

"You heard yourself. If not for the diplomatic means of young Xu Shi, who knows what that kid would have done to my academy because of you?"

Bai Han had no rebuttal for these words, so Emperor Kong changed the subject. He knew his sons had two knots in his heart: his mother and Wang Wei - his actions towards the latter, to be precise. After seeing the former, Bai Han's attitude toward him changed and even improved after he proved the Dao to become an Eternal Emperor.
