Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

Chapter 721 Behind The Scene Battle

As soon as Wang Wei returned home, he teleported to the secret realm where the Ancestors waited for him.

”Whatʼs the situation? Do we have more information?”

”So far, we only know someone attacked our business stalls in the Commerce. More than a hundred disciples there died,” said Origin One, trying to control his fury. They always bully people; when did they ever suffer such an injustice?

Many disciples of the sect die every year for various reasons. But as long they were not bullied by cultivators using higher realms or the disciple sought death themselves, the sect would not interfere. However, they will never allow any factions to bully or wrong their disciples.

However, this attack was a blatant provocation.

”Have we settled the compensation for these disciplesʼ death?” asked Wang Wei, also controlling his emotions since he knew this was not the time to be irate.

”Yes.” The sect has requirements for the disciples who dies in the line of duty for the sect.

”Do we have any proof who did it?”

”Who else could it be besides the Spirit Genesis Sect?” said Sword One with a sneer.

”We still need some proof. Some people might be trying to blame them,” added Wang Wei, who also felt it was them; the situation is similar to how they operate in the shadow.

”Miscellaneous just did a divination and found absolutely nothing,” adding Origin One, Wang Wei immediately understood what he meant. The divination would have detected even a hint if another faction tried to frame the Spirit Genesis Sect.

But they found nothing. Only the Spirit Genesis Sect has a way to perfectly hide from the Yin-Yang Calculation of Miscellaneous. Sometimes, appearing too clean is also suspicious.

”What did the Commerce Hubʼs President say?”

The Commerce Hub had a president who wielded tremendous political power and controlled extensive resources. Many top Emperor Lineages control the Hub, and the group with the most powerful Emperor will be in control in every generation.

And if no one in that large group produced an Emperor in the generation, theyʼll compete with each other to decide. Many people sought after the presidentʼs post–including the Dao Opening Sect. Unfortunately, theyʼve just joined, and according to the rules, they must wait for at least ten generations before becoming eligible to acquire the presidentʼs post.

Of course, Wang Wei will not wait for ten generations; heʼs prepared to take the whole thing by force and expand it beyond its limit of a few hundred World Communities.

”He apologized to us and promised a ten-fold reimbursement, support to integrate better, and reduce our wait time to five generations,” said Origin One.

”What did he say about the Spirit Genesis Sect?” asked Wang Wei.

”He said there is nothing he can do since there is no proof,” added Sword One. The official event or explanation was that one customer was unhappy with one of the sectʼs products and went on a rampage.

The customer had a weird talisman that could delay the entire detecting system of the Commerce Hub. Whatʼs weird is that even the customerʼs identity could not be found.

”Heʼs a businessman,” commented Wang Wei. ”And offending the Spirit Genesis Sect for such a simple thing is not worth the price.”

”But it is to us,” said Turtle Shell, ”So, are we going start an Emperor Dao War or not?”

”They have an Immortal Sovereign, and we have Sword One. Plus, we definitely have a chance as long as Desolate One succeeds,” argued Hell One.

”Things are not that simple,” countered The Steward. ”Recasting the foundation is not easy, and it will take time, even with Time Formation.”

Emperor Qiyuanʼs Origin Dao involved time, so he left a Time Acceleration Formation usable by Immortals and a few secret realms. However, he did not minor Array Dao, so there are limits to the formation and secret realms. Miscellaneous improved upon it later, but it was still limited.

”Plus, we donʼt know if they have a second Immortal Sovereign.”

”Sect master, what is your decision?” asked Origin One.

”We canʼt go to war, but we also canʼt swallow this breath,” said Wang Wei with sinister light in his eyes.

”Do you want to attack their shop?”

”That would be pointless since they would watch out for this,” Origin One shook his head.

”I have a plan, and I need you guys to use whatever means you have to ensure I wonʼt be discovered.”

”Leave it to us,” said Origin One, and the crew began. Origin One gathered the abilities left by Emperor Qiyuan and hid Wang Weiʼs origin. Miscellaneous One used Yin-Yang, invisibility, and darkness to bless Wang Wei with another form of protection.

Turtle One gave him a special defensive shield that blocked tracking, calculation, and divination. Hell One hid his soul and aura. Shadow One and Two used shadow to further enhanced his hiding capabilities. Rainbow One gave him a speed blessing to run away swiftly in case heʼs detected. Finally, Sword One used her power to elevate all these blessings and techniques to another level.

Wang Wei felt these guys may have gone a little overboard. However, in this situation, too much caution is not a thing. After finishing all the preparations, he started.

He used his Spirit Flower Ability: Soul Network. Without wasting much time, he landed in the Battle Spirit World, accessing trillions upon trillions of souls.

He searched for people who were desperate and had nothing to live for; the only thing driving them forward was their desire for revenge. And as soon as they accomplish it, they will leave the mortal coil.

Then, Wang Wei came in like a devil, whispering sweet tempting words to them. He will give them the strength to avenge their hatred, and they need to do one thing for him afterward.

Finally, he set up the stage before the grand finale.

Battle Spirit World, Spirit Genesis Sect:

He Shiyi calmly looked at his father, Patriarch Jia, and the Disciplinary Head. His injuries healed long ago, and he was back in peak shape.

”What was the Presidentʼs response?” he asked.

”He warned us and made us pay a hefty price,” said Patriarch He.

”Even with no evidence?”

”Yes.”

”Could we contest it with the council?” asked He Shiyi. The President did not have absolute power in the Commerce Hub since a council balanced his power. The Spirit Genesis Sect has a seat on the council and has a great deal of power.

”The other members seemed very dissatisfied with us, so they have already supported him.”

He Shiyi remembered many people referred to this generationʼs president as a business sage, expanding the profit of the Commerce Hub beyond nothing theyʼve seen in countless generations.

As such, many people in the council support him, and they have even been rumors of supporting him for a second term; such a thing would be unprecedented.

”Itʼs fine if we pay,” said He Shiyi with a relaxed tone. ”The main objective is to give a blow to the Dao Opening Sect and slow down their development into the Endless Void.”

Whatever price they pay is worth it since it weakens their enemy.

ʼWang Wei, you wait,ʼ thought He Shiyi, remembering that terrifying punch; he is confident he will avenge it after he proves the Dao. He closed his eyes to access his Sea of Consciousness and watched as five lights floated: four were bright, and the last one was dim and appeared to be still brewing.

ʼI have the confidence to avenge that punch.ʼ

”Patriarch,” said a hurried voice from outside, interrupting He Shiyiʼs thinking.

”Come in, said Patriarch Jia as the group watched an ordinary Elder walking in. ”What is it?”

”An emergency talisman came in.”

The four immediately had a bad premonition.

”What is it?!” asked Patriarch He.

”We just received news someone blew themselves up in one of our Pill Shops, killing all our disciples and ruining countless resources.”

”What?!”

”Is the news true?” asked the Disciplinary Head.

The elder opened his mouth to respond before suddenly stopping. He took out another talisman, and his face suddenly turned ugly. Then, more talismans began to light up.

”What is it?” asked He Shiyi, trying to remain calm.

? ”Most of the profession shops suffered a similar attack: a customer suddenly blew themselves up,” said the elder.

”What is the damage?”

”More than 2000 public shops were attacked, and more than 1800 succeeded.”

He Shiyi and the patriarchsʼ faces turned ugly as they already understood this was the Dao Opening Sectʼs revenge. Although only a small part of their publicly known shops was attacked, it will still cause them a lot of resources and lives.

Before they could process and analyze the situation, another elder rushed into the room.

”Sect master, sect master, bad news. One of the ore veins was attacked. One of the minors revolted and blew herself up.”

”Impossible,” said Patriarch Jia. ”How did they infiltrate our world without even noticing?”

Such a coordinated attack requires a powerful force with well-trained dead soldiers. And the minor in the sectʼs vein would be a spy. But they could not fathom how the Dao Opening Sect–who had isolated themselves from the Endless Void–could have cultivated such a force under their nose.

Furthermore, the news did not stop coming.
