Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor novel Chapter 1247

Chapter 1247 Beyond Comprehension

Wang Wei was in a cultivation room, reflecting on the battle. The character profile he made for Old Man Dai mostly stayed the same from the initial conception when they were talking. The only thing new he confirmed was that the old man was not as low-key as he should be, and he wanted some attention and glory.

This was further proven when he used his master's Paragon Will, which he should have hidden as a last result trump card. He also should not have revealed it so quickly that it came from his master. From what little Wang Wei could gather about these two's masters, I don't think he's a man who would be glad that his cultivation realm was revealed.

'Could I draw Old Man Dai's master in the current mess?' Wang Wei thought. The situation would become much more complicated if a Boundless Paragon suddenly appeared. However, Wang Wei immediately shook his head as soon as this thought manifested. He reckoned their master might let his two disciples die if their actions put him at risk.

'However, I may be able to use the fact that Old Man Dai revealed his master's information to blackmail him into working with me,' Wang Wei thought. 'No, maybe take action once, but he'll still prioritize his life.' Wang Wei was satisfied with using Old Man Dai's power once. After all, he is still a decently talented Paragon.

He sensed someone outside and said: "Come in."

Mongke's humongous frame walked into the room. Wang Wei did not stand up from his cushion: "Did something happen?"

"No, I wanted to check on you," Mongke replied. "What happened out there? I thought the fight would at least be a draw." He saw most of the fight and was shocked as he did not expect things to be so one-sided toward the Hidden Master.

"He had an artifact with a Paragon Will," Wang Wei explained.

"That explains everything." He wondered why Wang Wei's defense was so easily penetrated. After processing this news, Mongke suddenly became angry. "So, that bastard did not do his best against me?"

"Apparently so," Wang Wei nodded casually. "Let's change the subject. What happened during my absence? Anything to report?"

"Yes. Everything is in order as we now control the Lawless Zone," Mongke reported. "We've also finished the preparation for leaving. We can depart as soon as you say the word."

"That's good to hear," Wang Wei nodded. "You should have observed Jia Ping in the past hundred years. What are your thoughts?" Although he trusted his subordinate, Wang Wei needed to remain cautious. No matter how Jia Ping felt about his father, he had some respect or affection for him. So, Wang Wei needed to ensure he was not raising a snake.

"He's quite capable and focused," Mongke replied honestly. "And from what I can tell, he showed no abnormal signs. Of course, it's only been a hundred years, so it's hard to tell."

"That's good to hear," Wang Wei nodded. "What about General Long? Does he follow Jia Ping without issue, or is he a problem we must deal with secretly?"

"We haven't had any significant deployment of troops, so it's hard to tell the truth. But so far, he appeared to be loyal to Jia Ping."

"But not to us," Wang Wei added. "However, that's fine. As long as Jia Ping is loyal, they are not an issue." Wang Wei had plenty of time to convert these men into his loyal subordinate or use them to train his personal legion. Regardless of which tactic he uses, he'll be the one benefitting the most in the end.

"Anything else?"

"No, that's it," Mongke replied. "Oh, right, we captured Empyrean Black Heart."

"Oh?"

"He detected the spy we had watched him, and he ran away using this weird method. I had to capture him personally."

He had long black hair with streaks of red. His clothes were dirty, his hair disheveled, with blood stains everywhere on his clothes and the floor. However, the most noticeable aspect of his appearance was his pitch-black eyes, which made him look like a demon. _{freēwēbnovel.com}
