Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor novel Chapter 1389

Wang Wei contemplated his next move. Five Feathers must die, but he also cannot allow her plague to get out of control. "Try to find the other person who knows the formula. Additionally, have the Curse Master study a sample, just in case."

"I understand," Red Mask nodded.

"Anything else?" Wang Wei asked.

"We received news of signs of instability in the Great Chu Dynasty."

"You said you received it?"

"Yes, from Lady Xun Junyao."

"I see. Continue."

"There are signs that someone is trying to overthrow the Earth Emperor," Red Mask stated.

"Who?"

"All signs point to the Empress."

"Her? But that doesn’t sound like her personality," Wang Wei added as he remembered the knowledge he had about Shu Ren and his dynasty. When his clone was scheming against his downfall, he considered many possibilities, including using his family.

"That’s right," Red Mask nodded. "The information stated that someone may be behind the scenes and the Empress is just a discarded pawn."

"Are they trying to force Shu Ren and the Third Prince to fight?" Wang Wei analyzed. "But this tactic is too obvious and shouldn’t work — unless we are missing a crucial detail." He stopped as he suddenly remembered something: "Did we ever find out why Shu Ren tolerated the Third Prince?"

"Sadly, no."

Wang Wei nodded before looking in the distance:

"Everyone can feel it," he said. "A pivotal moment is approaching, and Shu Ren is one of the only open variables left that can intervene and change things. We can’t allow this, so let’s give him something to do."

"Lord, what do you need me to do?"

"Don’t worry, I’ll take care of it," Wang Wei added. "By the way, how much of our information do we still rely on foreign agencies to acquire?"

"Currently, more than 22% of our most valuable information comes from foreign agencies, with Lady Xunyao’s being our primary source," Red Mask reported.

"15%? It’s lower than I anticipated," Wang Wei nodded. The last time he asked was before his 10,000 yuan epoch retreat, and the number was as high as 36%.

"I will do my best to reduce that number," Red Mask promised.

"I never doubted you," Wang Wei nodded before dismissing her. He closed his eyes to check on the mortals. The war has devastated the overall population, but the vastness of the world and the fact that many people actively protected mortals prevented the problem from reaching a higher level. However, Wang Wei knew these wars were just the beginning.
