Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor novel Chapter 1421

"Are you sure about this?" Yu Cai asked. "They are asking for more than 25 spots — even more than us." The Dao Opening Sect planned to send 11 candidates: Wang Wei and one member from the nine clans and one from the sectarian faction.

Wang Wei calmly looked at the projection before him: "It’s okay. These people from the temple haven’t realized that a large number means they will have a target on their backs."

"Hmm, the demon race probably won’t stay and watch as their enemies cultivate 25 new Paragons," Yu Cai nodded.

"Not just the demon race — the other Overlords won’t stand for it too," Wang Wei added. "We have the second largest number and are responsible for the ceremony, so we will also be a target. Be prepared."

"Won’t you be there?"

"I’ll do my best to protect everyone, but I have my own plans, and something tells me this trial will not be simple," Wang Wei acknowledged.

"In that case, we should prepare ways to protect our investment," Yu Cai nodded. All the people chosen are talents, meaning it’s one thing to lose them if they fail the Paragon Tribulation, but something else if they die before even having a chance at the tribulation.

"By the way, how much of the Holy Dragon Water do you want me to buy?"

"By as much as possible until the temple tries to take advantage of us," Wang Wei replied before further elaborating. "Take things slow in the initial discussion to avoid appearing too desperate. Then, after we’ve bought a large quantity, they’ll try to raise the price to an absurd level — you can stop then."

"Alright, I understand."

Wang Wei nodded, "I know you’re wise, and I shouldn’t have to tell you, but I decided to do so just in case. Don’t get involved in the dispute between the demons and the Innate Demon Gods."

"No, no, you don’t have to worry about me," Yu Cai replied. This kind of decision is a hot dragon lung; he would not touch it with a foot-long pole. His greatest desire is to do a good enough job as sect master, then he can use the sect’s luck to become a Paragon.

"That’s good to hear. Oh, I forgot to ask you: are you entering the trial?"

"No, my foundation is not deep enough, so I’ll wait until the lock is gone and I’m more prepared before attacking the Paragon Realm," Yu Cai replied.

"It’s a good choice to be cautious. If the situation didn’t call for it, I would also like to take more time," Wang Wei admitted. They soon ended their conversation since Yu Cai was busy, and Wang Wei had a feeling more of his old friends would come to visit. However, the next visitor was quite unexpected.

"You’re Hua Xue, right? The Demon Suppressing Emperor’s wife?" Wang Wei asked.

"That’s…That’s right."

"Weren’t you captured with her?"

"No, she hid me before they took her away," Hua Xue replied.

"Have you been hiding ever since?"

"That’s right."

"Hmm, you’re either quite lucky or quite capable," Wang Wei commented. He sipped his tea. "And you’re here for?"

"I…I received a letter from Wa’er: she asked me to ask you for help."

’The chances of Hong Wa sending that letter undetected is almost zero, meaning the Qin Dynasty allowed her to send the news. Are they trying to lure me into saving her, turning the incident into a contradiction between the two Overlords?’ Wang Wei calmly analyzed.

"You don’t need to worry about her," Wang Wei said. "In the future, the Qin Dynasty will have no choice but to negotiate with me, and I’ll ask for her return as part of the deal. She’ll probably lose her Human and Heavenly Emperor Position by then, but she’ll be alive."

Hua Xue opened her mouth and closed it as she did not know what to say.

"Before then, you can stay in this sect and wait for her return."

Hua Xue mustered the courage: "How long will that take?"

"This is a waiting game, so we’re talking thousands of yuan epochs — if not more."

"But what if something happens to her beforehand?"

"Then that’s her fate," Wang Wei replied calmly but coldly.

"But —"

"You’re a smart woman," Wang Wei cut her off. "So you should understand the complexity of confrontation between two Overlords. Do you think my friendship with your wife is enough to fight the Qin Dynasty for her?"

Hua Xue was silent.

"The fact I’m even willing to help is a testament to my good nature," Wang Wei said. "Most people would not even offer you asylum."

"I…I understand."

Wang Wei summoned Wang Qi to settle this woman while he was left to his thoughts. ’If she were an Emperor, I would have given her a chance at the trial, and in the unlikely chance she could become a Paragon, she could have attacked the Qin Dynasty and caused them trouble.’ Without their ancestors, Qin would have suffered from the attack of a Paragon. Sadly, Hua Xue was just a Dao Ancestor.

’After losing her Human and Heavenly Emperor Position, Hong Wa’s potential will be drastically reduced and probably not worth any investment,’ Wang Wei analyzed. ’However, isn’t this an interesting story? After having her talent forcefully taken, she grew rapidly and avenged the people who made her suffer.’ Wang Wei smirked.

"She handed her soul to the Undead Phoenix, and once he died, the backlash almost killed her. I tried my best to save her, but her soul was severely damaged, and only Paragon Tier resources can save her." _{ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm}
