Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor novel Chapter 602

602 Opportunist

"Hahaha, a Son of an Era. Excellent, excellent, excellent news," said Wang Wucheng as he magically appeared out of nowhere as he usually does, grinning from ear to ear.

"It's alright," replied Wang Wei nonchalantly.

"Why aren't you happier?"

"Why should I?"

"As a Son of an Era, unless something peculiar occurs, you are destined to become an Eternal Emperor."

"Without, I'm still destined to become one."

"It's not the same."

"Yes, it is."

Wang Wucheng shook his head. "What about the fact you get to lead the new Era?"

"Without it, I would still lead the new era. To be honest, Heavenly Dao gave me the position because it knows I'm one of the few people who want to change the world for the better." _{fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm}

If Heavenly Dao had to choose two people to lead the era based solely on ideology and the desire for change, only Wang Wei and Huo Fenghuang would be qualified as they are the only people with obvious ambitions of changing the world.

However, Huo Fenghuang is too biased toward the Ancient Clan, and her method might do more harm than good.

"The title only made things official," added Wang Wei.

"You might not be happy, but I and the others are very excited. With this position and the Spirit of the Epoch, we don't have to worry about the Nine Emperor Curse."

"I thought the curse was no longer a problem?"

"It's not, but until the final battle, you never know. But with Heavenly Dao giving you all the Destiny of the New Era, we no longer have to worry about it trying to restrict us."

"That's fair," agreed Wang Wei. Then, he said goodbye to the ancestor before secretly exiting his mansion, heading straight to Feng Heng's mansion. He secretly announced his presence and waited outside.

More than half an hour later, the formations opened. A maid led him to a room where Feng Heng waited for him with tea. Wang Wei unceremoniously sat before him, and Feng Heng poured tea for both of them.

"To what do I owe this visit, sect master Wang Wei?"

Wang Wei took a sip of the tea, and it was refreshing.

"Great tea. It would have been better without the poison."

"Excuse me?"

"You're excused," replied Wang Wei as he savored the tea. "It would not directly harm me but remain undetected in my body, rendering me weak or immobile at the right moment. I guess I should thank your benevolence for not wanting to kill me."

"Sect master, these are severe accusations–especially without proof."

"Forget it. Anyways, this is the kind of tactic I would use. So, there is no point in blaming you."

What Feng Heng did is similar to what he did during his beach party. Unfortunately, this tactic has become useless. Mon Xingyun seemed to have detected and removed the thread for all the people in her alliance, which included Sun Jiaolong, Huang Yuan, and Fang Lijuan.

Zhen Biyu's alternative personality also detected the thread and removed it. Su Yan appeared to have sealed herself, Zhang Xuan was basically dead, Jian Wushang was crippled, and Wang Wei never placed any on Xu Shi. The only person remaining is Huo Fenghuang, and Wang Wei already divined she would remove the thread after fusing it with Ao Tianyi's bloodline.

Wang Wei wanted to try the same tactic now that he was more powerful. However, after Chu Luo revealed his method during the first dinner, these people have always been on guard against him.

"I came to get something from you," said Wang Wei as he continued to drink the tea, not minding the poison in the slightest. "I theorized that Monk Wuzhi must have given you an alternative method of proving the Dao. As partners who share a bond deeper than time and space, please share."

"An alternative method to prove the Dao? If such a thing existed, I would sacrifice anything to get my hands on it," Feng Heng replied calmly.

"Feng Heng, no, Shi Fuyu, I'll call you this since I feel it will make us a lot closer," said Wang Wei with a gentle smile, making the latter squint his eyes.

"You're a man who has lived for a long time and is full of experience. Now, ask yourself, can you survive from me at such a close distance? Do you think the little formations in this room are enough?"

"Is that a threat?" Shi Fuyu asked with a sneer.
