Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor novel Chapter 1371

Chapter 1371 More War Crimes

Five Feathers sat on her throne with a smile on the corner of her mouth. She calmly listened to the reports of the war situation. Overall, their sides were not doing well due to the nature of Undead Phoenix's legions, but she did not mind. It was still possible to sever the connection between the undead legions and him, but it took time and sometimes many resources.

"Hmm?" Five Feathers muttered as she noticed something. "How dare you show up before me." She disappeared and teleported to an area not far from her castle.

"How dare you show up before me after what you did to White Phoenix," Five Feathers said with a terrifying killing intent.

"She's fine, isn't she?" Wang Wei replied. A soul collapse was not enough to kill someone of White Phoenix's caliber, especially since she had access to resources to revive herself.

"Do you think you can deal with our animosity with just a few words?" Five Feathers sneered.

"It seems your new strength has gotten over your head," Wang Wei sneered as he looked her in the eyes. "Did you forget who is in front of you? Do I need to remind you?"

Five Feather's body visibly paused for less than a second before she regained her bearing: "What do you want?" She decided not to bother him since she only faced a projection. After all, killing it won't have much of an effect.

"I came here to warn you," Wang Wei responded directly. "Stop this mass killing of mortals or face the consequences."

"Is this a joke?"

"Do I look like I'm joking?" Wang Wei replied as his eyes turned cold. The killing intent he released was even scarier than the one he used on Undead Phoenix. Killing intent is a unique ability of most cultivators, and it usually forms due to how many people someone has killed. Wang Wei is young compared to most top powerhouses, and his personality that generally solves problems with talking means he has not killed as many people even compared to some of his peers. So, why was his killing intent so fierce?

There are two answers to that, the first of which is he can access his killing intent as the Myriad Devourer. In that void, he destroyed countless worlds and killed too many people to count. However, most of his experiences as the Devourer are still sealed, meaning it's not the primary source of his killing intent. The main source of power comes from his killing potential. If someone with his strength and mind wishes to kill someone, few people can survive. That's why his killing aura is so intense and potent.

Five Feathers calmly looked at him, not affected in the least. Then, she started laughing maniacally: "You cursed me, and I finally found a way to solve the curse, and you're telling me to stop? Hehehe. I will die either way, so why should I listen to you?"

Wang Wei frowned. He understood better than most how scary someone on the verge of death is, let alone a Paragon with so much power and resources. 'If I don't do something else, this mad woman won't care about my threat.'

'There are plenty of cultivators for you to kill," Wang Wei said.

"Not as much as mortals, and it's harder to form karmic sins from killing them," Five Feathers replied. "Not mentioning how much easier it is to kill mortals."

"That's easy to solve," Wang Wei said. "You just need to manufacture a curse that operates like a plague and ensure it targets only people with cultivation. Such a vile act is enough for you to build negative karma from killing a vast amount of cultivators."

Wang Wei had long made the hard choice of abandoning most of the loose cultivators for the mortals. Most cultivators from a sect or faction have access to longevity resources or can seal themselves to wake up in the next era. Only loose cultivators or people from weak factions have no choice but to kill mortals to extend their lifespan.

So, Wang Wei made the rational decision to abandon these people and save the mortals who are the backbone of the cultivation civilization. As long as they survive, all factions in the world will have a pool of talents, and new loose cultivators can also arise from them.

"A plague curse?" Five Feathers muttered with shining eyes. This was an excellent idea.

"Anyway, I've warned you," Wang Wei continued. "If you don't heed my words, I promise you, no matter the price I have to pay, I'll eliminate you from this earth as soon as possible."

Five Feathers calmly watched the projection disappearing, leaving her to her thoughts. No one knew what she was thinking, but she stayed there for a few seconds before returning to the meeting hall and announcing:

"Summon all the Curse Masters under our control."

The ministers looked at each other, wondering what had happened to the lord, but no one dared ask. Then, someone stepped up and said carefully, "Lord, you recently killed all the Curse Masters." Five Feathers frowned as she remembered she did kill all these rubbishes once they could not find a cure for her.

"In that case, put an announcement outside that we are hiring more of them, and tell the world that I will sign the most restrictive contract to ensure these people's safety."

"As you wish."

Pure Death Realm, Undead Palace:

Undead Phoenix sat on his throne, releasing a terrifying aura. His world was slowly crumbling, mentally speaking. That attack was his life's work. He was sure he could kill her because he developed it specifically for Five Feathers and spent countless years concentrating its power, similar to a swordsman who nourished his sword for one attack.
