Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor novel Chapter 1363

Chapter 1363 A Time of Great Opportunity (III)

[No need to read the second paragraph.]

[There is a problem with this chapter. It should have been released before the one called [Grand Dao's Grand Move, but I wrote the chapter but never published it. I'm also having a problem with fixing this issue with Webnovel's rules that you cannot delete more than 1000 words of a published chapter --- especially privileged ones. Hopefully, this long introduction fixes the issue.]

[I just tried, and it did not meet the requirements, so I must add more. I'm sorry for this introduction; you don't have to read it. It's one of the requirements for me to fix the issue. Maybe I should have deleted the entire entire thing and republished it. However, that probably would cause more trouble, and there is the fact it's not fair for the people who already bought the chapter. Alright, this should meet the word counts.]

Qin Longwei, the Supervisor of the Great Chu Divine Dynasty's Prison, received a strange request today. A middle-level minister of the Agricultural Department wished to meet him secretly. At first, he wanted to refuse, but the latter provided him with some information about one of his enemies. Qin Longwei thought this might be an opportunity to take down the latter and maybe even get promoted.

When he arrived at his destination, he checked the surroundings to ensure he was not falling into a trap. He felt relieved that the only person present was that small minister. "Tell me your news, and don't waste my time," Qin Longwei said directly. Although his department was on the lower end of the dynasty, his rank was still above this little clerk. As such, he did not give the latter much face.

"Sir, sir, I only want some guarantees," said the clerk with a trembling voice.

"Tell me your information before we can even negotiate."

"Sir—"

"If you're not talking, I won't stay here for long," Qin Longwei sneered before walking away. He had already captured the clerk's mindset as soon as he laid eyes on them. As someone who deals with all kinds of criminals and the low lives of the dynasty, he can tell when someone is desperate. So, knowing he had all the advantages, Qin Longwei acted accordingly to ensure maximum benefit. He knew that any time now, this clerk would call him back with more desperation in his voice. Sadly, he overestimated his abilities this time.

The small clerk suddenly released a shadow that swallowed Qin Longwei before he could react. He did not scream, nor did his intuition activate — he was swallowed completely. A new Qin Longwei appeared where he previously stood, but his eyes were different: he had lost the cruelty and brutality raised by torturing and killing criminals for countless yuan epochs. Instead, his eyes were sharp, cunning, and powerful. This transformation lasted only seconds before Qin Longwei returned to his previous self. This new version perfectly captured the former Qin Longwei's aura, personality, facial expression, memories, etc.

"You can leave, and don't let anyone see you," Qin Longwei, no, Paragon Jimin said to the clerk. The two left separately, and Jimin took this opportunity to review Qin Longwei's memories in detail.

"The prisoners from the Hidden Layers were taken out?" he murmured. "I was right. Something is wrong with Shu Ren." When he was the Prime Minister, Paragon Jimin knew that the hidden layers of the prison contained powerful body refiners or cultivators that could be absorbed to help Shu Ren heal in case of an emergency. Only a few people knew about it, and only the Emperor could order people to remove these prisoners.

'Now that I have confirmed the news, what should my next step be?' Paragon Jimin thought. As soon as the Earth Emperor returned, he liquidated the Prime Minister and many other identities Jimin had, forcing him to start over. Luckily, he knew enough about the dynasty to slowly return to the top by stealing the lives of important ministers. If he is given some time and without interference, Jimin is confident he will once again be the prime minister, and this time, with his Paragon Realm cultivation, his hiding ability will drastically increase.

Jimin looked at the sky when he returned home. His eyes saw the Qi Luck Dragon of Great Chu. The normal eyes cannot see anything different about it, but he can see the instability of the dragon, especially after Wang Wei injured Shu Ren.

'It has become easier to plunder the luck and destiny of these people, and this might be the fastest way for me to recuperate,' Emperor Jimin analyzed. 'But what should I do once I return to my peak?'

Take revenge on Wang Wei? No, that's pointless. Although the latter did scheme against him, he indeed saved him. Additionally, Paragon Jimin knew how difficult it would be to kill a master of Karma after owing the latter a debt of saving their lives. Not to mention, he has speculated that Wang Wei has Paragon Tier strength, hence why Shu Ren was injured.
