Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor novel Chapter 843

Chapter 843 Gao Buqin's Worth

Yan Liling calmly watched Gao Buqin's reaction to his freedom. She did not interrupt him, allowing him to process his emotions. The cultivation world was cruel beyond what words can explain. Despite the many contradictions, the Myriad Emperor World is safer than most worlds in the Endless Void.

The factions competed against each other while respecting the written rules like the Immortal-Avenue Pact and other unwritten rules like allowing the young generations to compete by all means and accepting the outcome.

However, the competition is more brutal in other worlds because of the Heaven Will. After all, there is only one chance for immortality and eternity. For that one chance, many Emperor Lineages will not hesitate to send their Immortal Tier powerhouses–including Insurgent–to assassinate other factions' Heaven Chosens.

And in these worlds, enslaving other people's souls is too much of a common tactic.

So, as Yan Liling watched Gao Buqin's reaction, she empathized with him and waited.

'I'm glad this tactic worked. The power of an Emperor… it's terrifying,' she thought. She had to use Wang Wei's granted power to seal the enslavement. As such, she peaked at the essence of Di Tian's power and saw how scary it was.

Although Wang Wei has demonstrated his strength to them, Yan Liling discovered today he was still holding back to not hurting them physically and spiritually.

"Have you calmed down?" asked Yan Liling after seeing Gao Buqin's agitated mood return to normal.

Gao Buqin took a deep breath to calm down. He gazed at her before uttering, "I'm guessing you did not free me out of compassion of your heart?"

"You guessed correctly."

Gao Buqin quieted down, not saying a word for half a minute.

"I know what you're thinking," suddenly said Yan Liling. "But we will not enslave you; we only want to work together."

"Work together? You think I believe you."

"It's true. The invasion of our cleanup was the work of the Spirit Genesis Sect from your world."

As soon as Yan Liling said these words, the world began to pay attention. Many people wanted to know why the anomaly occurred during the Cleanup, but no answer was found.

But now, the truth was revealed, catching many people's attention. And that was Wang Wei and Yan Liling's purpose in the first place. Wang Wei needs the entire world to end their era of Xenophobia and close themselves from the Endless Void.

So, he will show them other worlds will interfere in their affairs even if they use such an approach. Furthermore, there is no better way to rally the world together than a common enemy.

"The Spirit Genesis Sect? Well, given their overbearingness, it's understandable they would do this," replied Gao Buqin with a frown. When the secret realm that led to the Cleanup appeared, he saw the Young Master of the Spirit Genesis Sect among the participants, so he never questioned the latter.

But now, he guessed they were using everyone as pawns for their plans.

"So, you should guess what we want from you," replied Yan Liling, who already accomplished her objective.

"Information."

"Correct, and not just about the Spirit Genesis Sect, but also the entire Battle Spirit World."

"Do you want me to be a traitor to my home?" asked Gao Buqin with a sneer.

"And what is the alternative?" countered Yan Liling. "Without our seal, you will return to your previous state."

Gao Buqin's body shivered out of his control.

"Even if we don't do anything, don't you know your fate? As soon as you leave, the Di Clan will hunt you down before you can go far.

"Finally, the Spirit Genesis Sect already bore their fangs at us and must pay the price. As such, we will do anything to get the information from you."

Yan Liling's gentle demeanor was gone, replaced by a deep coldness in her eyes. "So, although I sympathize with your situation, I will not hesitate to get the information from your dead corpse."

Gao Buqin's heart skipped a beat, and cold sweat almost fell from his back. His mind worked on overload, suppressing his emotions to analyze the situation.

"I agree to help you, but I have a few conditions."

"Please," replied Yan Liling, not surprised by his choice. Few people can control their fear of death and remain stubborn to protect their ideals, beliefs, and philosophies.

"No problem."

"First, I want your help to return home."

"No problem."

"Second, no one must search my soul." Gao Buqin's deep voice contained an unwavering determination he had never shown, making Yan Liling frown.

"Very well," she replied. "However, you must sign the most restrictive contract and oath to tell us all the information we want and not hide anything."

"I can't agree with that."

"And why is that?"

"My third condition is I won't reveal any information about my sect."

"What is your sect?"

"Battle Artifact Villa," replied Gao Buqin after a short moment of contemplation.
