Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor novel Chapter 213

Inside the meeting of the upper echelons of the Academy. After waiting for Wang Wei to leave, they started their conversations about the events that just took place.

"Headmaster, why did you not accept this deal? From what we know about Wang Wei, he most likely was telling the truth," said one teacher.

"Yes, the Dao Opening Sect finally found a chance to break the Nine Emperor Curse, so they would not easily let go of such an opportunity."

Bai Han was calm during the entire process, but he secretly sighed inside. These people let greed clutter their visions.

"Let me ask all of you," said Bai slowly. "If Wang Wei does not have the opportunity to enter the Secret Realm of the Dao Tablets, who would benefit the most?"

The other teachers were first puzzled by the sudden question, they began to think calmly about the question; they still believe in the strategic vision of the headmaster. As a born sage, wisdom was one his main ability or gift.

One teacher’s eyes suddenly lighted up and she said:

"It’s the other Heaven Chosens. Without being able to see the Tablets, the other Heaven Chosens will finally have an advantage over him and be able to either make up the gap with him, and even surpass him.

"That is correct," replied Bai Han. "You guys need to see things from a long term perspective. Even if we were to agree with his proposition, what do you think would happen if one day, this Wang Wei manages to prove the Dao and become Emperor?"

The room became quiet as most of the teachers had an ugly look on their faces. They were not stupid, since the headmaster already laid out everything in front of them.

"He could just ask us to return or take back all the resources he previously gave us. Or maybe, even worse," replied one teacher.

"That is correct. By refusing his offer, we have effectively weakened his strength, while strengthening our chances of cultivating a Great Emperor. As for things like Emperor materials or Innate Treasures, as long as Lin Fan can prove the Dao and become an Eternal Emperor, everything is possible for the Academy.

All the teachers then started to praise the headmaster for his strategic vision and abilities. As for Bai Han, he sighed as he thought to himself:

’Wang Wei has proven to be even more formidable than previously estimated. Given how calmly he walked out of this meeting, I do not think that he will give up so easily.

’Lin Fan is my last chance and I cannot afford to lose this opportunity. *Sight*. I should not be so stubborn and listen to my father.’

Meanwhile, Wang Wei rushed back to his own manor after exiting the meeting room.

"Supreme Elder, what do you mean that our plan failed?" asked Wang Wei with a frown on his face.

"Well, last night, the sect used its power to bribe a few of the Legacy Disciples in order to acquire their token that grants them access to 3000 Dao Tablets. While all of them resisted betraying the Academy and refused to hand their tokens for any price, we used the young master’s plan to arrest their families and threaten them. _{freewebnσvel.cѳm}

"So, you should have had the token in your hand last night, right? So what went wrong?" asked Wang Wei.

The only reason that Wang Wei went to attend today’s meeting was just to acquire a legal way to enter the Secret Realm. After all, what he did could be considered very sensitive, thus leading to war between the two most powerful factions of this world.

Although Wang Wei knew that the sect would back him up without hesitation if he started a war, he did not want to result in such a measure yet, unless it was truly necessary.

"Well, during the meeting, I received secret information that the Academy just revoked the status of Legacy disciples of all the people who accepted our exchange. And all the other ones were also warned.

"I wanted to rush to check the situation, but I could not leave you alone, and the other True Monarchs of the Academy were watching my actions very closely."

"Tsk, that old fox Bai Han must have noticed something during the meeting. The ancients were right: there are many heroes in the word and none of them should be underestimated," replied Wang Wei with a sour mood.

"Young master, what should we do next? Do we start preparing for war?"

"Not yet. However, it seems that I have to resort to my old business of fishing. Hopefully, things will go as planned and we do not have to resort to drastic means."

After a brief chat with the Supreme Elder, Wang Wei called both Yan Liling and Li Jun for a meeting.

"Big brother, why did you call us right before the beginning of the trial?" asked Li Jun with a confused look on his face, He had a feeling that something important happened.

"Well, due to recent events, I will not take part in this trial."

"Big brother, Is there something wrong?"

Wang Wei nodded before explaining the situation. Now that both of them had Anti-Divination Origin Artifacts on them, he could tell them some secrets as he trusted them.
