Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor novel Chapter 1429

As Wang Wei watched Zhen Biyu depart, he suddenly remembered he hadn’t implanted Dao Seeds into his chosen Taoist and Buddhist Avatars. A few of his future plans require a deep understanding of these two religious/spiritual beliefs, but he does not want to spend millions of Yuan Epoch studying them, so the Dao Seed is his best approach.

’I can choose one of their participants from the trial, but the issue is Buddhism,’ Wang Wei thought. He did not believe his method could be hidden from Maitreya, even after improving it by including his knowledge of [Existence Blueprint].

’Maybe be above board about the truth, and she might understand and allow it,’ Wang Wei thought. He ultimately decides to do it and allows Maitreya to choose how to respond once she discovers it. ’How she responds will also reveal much about her personality.’ Maitreya is currently on their side, but a part of Wang Wei still remained vigilant that everything was a facade.

He checked his Message Talisman and knew he still had two more guests, and he was slightly surprised by the second group. ’Interesting. I wonder why the Grand Sect Alliance wishes to see me.’ Despite his curiosity, Wang Wei still saw the Great Qin Court as a small power move.

So, two people flew into his mountain. The first person looked slightly similar, but Wang Wei could not place where he knew him. ’Where will I know a small and weak Dao Ancestor? More importantly, why is the Qin Court using him as a guide to meet me?’ This person must have some connection with him, but he couldn’t immediately recognize him.

Wang Wei did not dwell on it too much as he looked at the person behind, who was probably the true representative of this meeting. This man was the embodiment of a scholar with his clothes, feather fan, and official hat.

’The Qin’s Prime Minister,’ Wang Wei thought. Red Mask has already handed him all the essential information he needed about all the Overlords and their current leader and political structure. So, he knew much about Prime Minister Zu Chenghuang, including the fact he was married to a Qin Princess who was a direct descendant of Ying Zheng.

"Lord Wang Wei, I wonder if you remember me," said the little Dao Ancestor.

"Who are you?" Wang Wei asked.

"I am Ji Honghui from Great Zhou."

"Oh, the traitor," Wang Wei suddenly remembered. During his Supreme Outlaw Trial, the Great Zhou Dynasty’s crown prince wanted revenge for his brother, Ji Song, so he schemed with one of the ancestors to destroy the dynasty. Ji Honghui was at the core of that rebellion and successfully ascended once freed from his burden as a guardian.

Wang Wei didn’t remember him because his mind was occupied during the trial, and he did not pay much attention to what happened to Great Zhou since it did not affect him much.

Ji Honghui was embarrassed but was also thick-skinned and would not let such words affect him. "Yes, that’s me."

"How did you get entangled with the Great Qin Dynasty?" Read exclusive content at Freewebnovel

"I have rebuilt Great Zhou, and we are an affiliated dynasty of Qin," Ji Honghui explained.

"Never thought of you as the ambitious kind, but I guess I didn’t know you well enough to make such an assumption," Wang Wei nodded. "I reckon you’re here for the court." He looked at the Prime Minister.

"Yes, this Prime Minister Zu Chenghuang — he’s here to represent Great Qin." After saying these words, Ji Honghui stepped aside and moved behind the Prime Minister.

"Young Master Wang Wei, it’s a pleasure to meet you."

"The pleasure is all mine," Wang Wei replied calmly. "But I need to stop you here. I can tell you act like a scholar, meaning you will speak in circles before you get to the point. I don’t have time to waste here, so let’s be as straightforward as possible."

"You’re just as the report stated," Zu Chenghuang smiled. "Very well. I’m here to alleviate the tension between our two factions."

"Then you can start by releasing Hong Wa."

"Young master, you’re wise enough to know that’s impossible," Zu Chenghuang calmly replied, and Wang Wei just looked at him. "Mis Hong Wa is our great guest, and we are even granting her one of the spots for this trial."

"Oh?" Wang Wei muttered before a look of realization flashed in his eyes. "So, the Minor Heavenly Emperor Title is not enough, so you want to raise her into a Paragon and have her take all the risk of raising the title to a higher level — that’s not a bad plan, but aren’t you afraid of losing your asset?"

"We are not."

Wang Wei glanced at him: "Your calm demeanor tells me that Ying Zheng has realized he can no longer hide what his Transcendent Path is to the world, so he decided to be more upfront, direct, and aggressive."
