Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor novel Chapter 233

"So, what do we do now, headmaster?" asked one teacher, while all the others also looked at him.

As for Bai Han, he secretly sighed in relief after hearing this question. As a matter of fact, he lied, or to be precise, did not tell the whole truth. What Bai Han said about the Spirit of the Epoch is true, but his motives are not so pure.

During the recent incident, he has developed a strong disliking for Wang Wei because he reminded him of his father--Emperor Kong.

Their amazing talents, the way that they always think outside the box, and more importantly, the way that they use the entire world as their chessboard and everyone else as a chess piece.

He hated some of these qualities from his father, as such, Bai Han discovered that he has projected some of his hatred to Wang Wei. Nevertheless, despite realizing the nature of his emotions, he refused to change them.

After taking a deep breath, Bai Han replied to the other teachers: "Before we discuss our next step, we first need to make sure that our internal troubles are dealt with first.

"So, did we discover how the people of the Dao Opening Sect took control of our formation?"

"Unfortunately, the answer is no, headmaster," responded the teacher that was in charge of the security of the Academy. "After the incident, I investigated the person in charge of the formation, but they were completely clean.

"In the end, I was forced to even search his soul, but I did not find anything; she had no relationship with the people of the Dao Opening Sect, or anyone else for that matter. We did not even find her contacting anyone strange."

"Bai Han had a frown on his face as he realized that this should be a problem that they placed their emphasis on. Then, he said: "In that case, let’s talk about our counter-measure for this situation.

"First, we have to ensure that these terrible rumors about us do not reach the Domains controlled by our Academy; these places are the foundation of our Academy, and nothing can happen to these places--no matter what.

"Second, since we could not get access to certain precious resources from the different Associations in the South, we have to use outside help. Luckily, our recent ally, the Association of Chamber Commerce has agreed to provide us with some of the rare resources.

"However, their conditions are that the price will be more than a hundred time than before, and they will not publicly support us."

"Tsk," said one of the teachers. "Before Xi Guan was begging us and even sending his daughter to us, but now that we are in trouble, he wants to turn his face over?"

"You cannot blame him. After all, the alliance between Lin Fan and Xi Shi had just been created, and before the Chamber of Commerce could reap any benefit from it, our Academy was hit so hard.

"We should be satisfied that they were willing to keep the alliance given the circumstances. As for the increase in price, it should be expected given that they are merchants: making profit is their fundamental nature," replied one teacher.

Bai Han nodded in agreement with her. Then, he said: "Our third step is to counter-attack. Since the Dao Opening Sect can use public opinions to attack us, we can do the same to deal with them."

Of course Bai Han knew that this particular endeavor would probably be useless. With Wang Wei’s cunningness, he should have anticipated such a response and prepared beforehand for it. Nevertheless, the Academy still has to try to show its stands that it is willing to fight for its honor and glory.

"Lastly, we need to do whatever it takes to prevent Wang Wei from gaining access to the 3000 Dao Tablets.

"According to my analysis, since his Fate Puppeteer Physique is a brand new one, he does not have a cultivation technique perfectly suited to him that allows him to play all the advantages of his physique.

"Hence the reason that he wants access to the Tablets. So, we must stop him by all means."

"How do we do that, headmaster?"

"First, we must prevent Li Jun from entering the top 30 of this tournament. With his strength, it is only a matter of time before he acquires a spot in the top 30. As long as he gets a token, he will not hesitate to hand it over to Wang Wei. So, we must deal with this situation first."

All the teachers had pensive looks on their faces, then one person said: "Couldn’t we just make a rule that the person who got the token can only use it for themselves?"
