Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor novel Chapter 1475

1475 A Little Restless

"Since we know he has it, can we demand its return?" an Elder asked.

"Don't say such a stupid thing. We know he has it, but where is the proof?"

"So, that's it? Do we have to wait until the ancestor returns to get it back? But even then, will he hand it over before he copies it?"

"No, we must do something," Elder Chen said before looking at Tong Ruobing: "How strong are you compared to Wang Wei?"

"His strength has always been higher, and given that his cultivation is much higher than mine, I doubt I have a chance at winning," Tong Ruobing replied truthfully.

"What about if you have a Primal Weapon?" Elder Chen asked.

"Do we have such a thing?"

"We were forced to seal it during the Moons' reign, but it can still be used," Elder Chen admitted.

Tong Ruobing pondered: "Does the Dao Opening Sect have a similar weapon? Or one close to that level?"

"They should," Elder Chen answered.

"Then, unless you can prevent them from using, it won't make much of a difference," she analyzed.

'That is a shame," Elder Chen sighed. Tong Ruobing was their most powerful fighter, and even if she were at her peak, Elder Chen did not think she could defeat her. _{frёeweɓηovel.coɱ}

"So, that's it?" the president asked.

"Diplomacy has failed, and force is not an option; there is nothing we can do directly about the artifact," she sighed deeply.

"Directly? Meaning there is something we can do?" The president swiftly asked.

"There are currently countless loose cultivators whose pride and sense of self have been inflated after becoming Paragons," Elder Chen muttered slowly. "It's only a matter of time before one of these imbeciles thinks they are strong enough to challenge an Overlord given our current weakened state. If these people discovered we were missing our Luck Artifact, they would think we were weak and emboldened to choose us as their target. We need to nip this kind of thinking in the bud."

"You want to stage a demonstration of strength?" the president asked.

"That's right."

"Who's the target?"

"The Southern Chu Dynasty," Elder Chen answered calmly. "We have the perfect excuse, so why not use it?"

"They are the perfect target," the president agreed. "But our research revealed some connection between them and the Qin Court. What if they intervene?"

"It will depend on Bing'er," Eldern Chen replied, looking at Tong Ruobing. "Are you more powerful than the Qin Court's new Paragons?"

"There was one prince who was slightly talented, but I doubt he would be much of a problem," Tong Ruobing answered.

"Good. You only need to assess the situation. If you think you can win, be aggressive and teach the Qin Court a lesson. Don't push it too far since we are only sending a message. However, if he's a real problem, you can back up a little and give them face."
