'The last step,' thought Wang Wei as he watched Tie Gang becoming the victor. His facial expression remained the same–a charming smile that hid his true intentions or hypocrisy.
His lack of movement or change was only superficial. Ever since the start of the battle of general, he had two purposes–keep watching his opponent to prevent interference and use his power to secretly prevent Di Tian's intuition or danger sense from activating.
And such an act was not easy to pull off while under his nose and when they were of similar power or level. As such, Wang Wei had to be extra careful not to be discovered.
Luckily, his attempts have been successful.
He kept observing Di Tian, ensuring the latter would not destroy the entire board.
'He appeared as calm as me,' thought Wang Wei. 'He is not someone who will give up easily, so he must be preparing something. His attention has been focused on his Shadow, so he must be the key to his plan.'
'Are you alright?"
'I'm fine.'
Wang Wei thought about the information he knew from the Oracle Mirror but could not think of anything specifically. The mirror did not give him all of DI Tian's information, leaving many loopholes in his information gathering.
Furthermore, there were too many possibilities based on what he knew about Di Tian.
'No need to let my mind drift. I will respond based on the situation.'
After making a decision, Wang Wei used his Divine Sense to contact Li Jun:
'Are you alright?"
'I'm fine.'
'If you're not okay with the plan, it's not too late to change things,' said Wang Wei.
'No, it's definitely too late,' replied Li Jun. 'At least, to ensure success and prevent unforeseen variables, it's too late.'
'There is no need to worry about unforeseen variables. I–'
'This is not the time to be soft,' cut Li Jun. 'Wait, it's not like you to hesitate at the last minute.'
'I feel icky,' explained Wang Wei.
'What does that mean?'
'It's like my intuition wishes to warn me, but it's being blocked. So, I feel icky, I feel like something is not correct.'
'Is something bad going to happen? Maybe. But you should have expected this when dealing with such an old monster.'
One of the difficult aspects of dealing with Di Tian is his long life and experience. At any point, he could devise some unknown method he learned and acquired from his long life.
And unlike people like Heaven-Devouring Emperor and Feng Heng, Di Tian has the battle prowess to make these methods potent threats.
'We were prepared for the danger of this plan,' continued Li Jun. 'So, the best we can do is be extra cautious and prepare for the worst-case scenario.'
'You're right. Be prepared and contact the others–Wang Ju is almost finished.'
Western Quadrant:
Di Tian watched Gluttony's fate with indifferent eyes.
'It's been confirmed–Wang Wei has a connection with the devil race.'
During the Cleanup, he stopped him from capturing their leader–Wrath. And according to him, it was purely to prevent his opponent from becoming more powerful.
Based on their interactions, Di Tian suspected they had some sort of deal or connection, but Wang Wei denied it. He questioned his motive, but when it comes to Wang Wei, nothing is as simple as it seems.
So, Di Tian was never entirely sure. However, after seeing how he dealt with Gluttony, he confirmed the latter had some connection with Wrath, and Gluttony might play a key to everything.
