Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor novel Chapter 1285

Chapter 1285 Plunder (II)

(Unedited Chapter)

-----

The void fluctuated before opening up and releasing a group of people, primarily women and less than five men — one of whom was Xiao Tiandi. The group calmly landed before looking around.

"Palace Lord, do we really have to give up the array central area?" asked one of the women.

"That woman is powerful. Even if I can take her down, it will take too long, thus delaying our chances of getting more resources," Xun Junyao replied calmly.

"But we're the only ones who have entered the palace."

"Our competition is not only those people outside, but the people from the palace," said the announcer, Xun Tong, in her straight and direct manner. "Now that the Blood Dragon has died, how many people will remain loyal? They haven't started plundering because they hope their leader's Dao Mark remains intact."

"I see," nodded the palace lady, who felt unwilling they had to give up the central array hub.

"That woman," Xiao Tiandi said with a frown. "She might be one of Wang Wei's people."

"Oh?" Xun Junyao paused. She had now figured out that Wang Wei was the one she was waiting for. "What makes you say that?"

"The strength she exploded with her was the power of fate."

"Young master, although fate is a rare Dao, countless cultivators are on that path. That's not enough for you to determine it was him," Xun Tong said.

"I know that," Xiao Tiandi replied, almost rolling his eyes. "There are three reasons why I believe she's one of his people. One, her aura is similar to his. Although she tried to hide it, I sensed it. Secondly, it's the fact she was here. From how Wang Wei operates, it should not be a problem for him to predict Blood Dragon's death after seeing the master's projection and prepare beforehand for the looting."

"Now that you mention it, someone blocked my palace to prevent news from coming and leaving," Xun Junyao commented. That power was terrifying, so she had to use the strength from the palace — a Supreme Chaos Artifact — to leave after killing Blood Dragon. She also sensed a battle in the distance with fluctuation that was the exact origin of the one blocking her palace.

"That is how he operates," Xiao Tiandi sneered.

"Well, I'm still not convinced," Xun Tong continued. She was not being difficult just for the sake of being unpleasant. Xun Tong has noticed the young master has formed a rivalry with a man named Wang Wei, which is not a bad thing. According to her speculation, this rivalry is one of the primary reasons the young master got his act together.

However, she also noticed he tends to exaggerate Wang Wei's abilities and prowess. She doesn't want him to create a mythical version of his rival and become disappointed once he doesn't meet expectations. Xun Tong fears that such a realization will spiral into a situation where the young master returns to his former decadent self.

"The Lord's Shadow Technique is a worldwide famous technique from the Dao Opening Sect capable of cultivating powerful and loyal subordinates at a relatively low cost," Xiao Tiandi explained. "Master made me fight an imprint who was a Shadow, so I recognized that technique from the woman."

Xun Tong frowned: "Your friend should have just ascended, but that woman's strength reached the peak of the Empyrean Realm."

"Wang Wei is already an Everlasting Empyrean, and his cultivation is probably near the peak," Xiao Tiandi replied with a wry smile. Xun Tong was quiet. She thought her young master had exaggerated things, but he chose a true monster as his rival. She did not know whether this was good or bad, so she glanced at the Palace Lord, but it seemed the latter was thinking about something else.

"Master, what is our next step?"

Xun Junyao pondered. 'Since he's the one who protected me from the revenge of the parasites, I should return the favor.' She decided not to compete for the resources in this place. 'However, I still need to get what's mine.' Before his death, Blood Dragon sealed her access to his dimension. Although it was now in Xun Junyao's possession, she could not access all its wealth.

"We need to find one of Blood Dragon's descendants," Xun Junyao said. She had tried using his bloodline to access that dimension, which almost worked. However, Blood Dragon was truly petty and predicted her actions, thus leaving preventive measures. Now, Xun Junyao will try another way: copy his descendant's bloodline and use them to access that dimension.

"Let's go," Xun Junyao. She knew that the lustful Blood Dragon had a few children before proving the Dao, and luckily, one of them when he was an Empyrean. Her mission will have been accomplished as long as she gets her hands on one of them.
