Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

Chapter 1219  New Leader

"30,000 years passed?" Wang Wei muttered. "I wonder how much time has passed in the lower dimension?" His theory was correct. The time difference between the upper and lower dimensions drastically changed as soon as he ascended. As such, he would not be surprised if less than a week had passed in the lower dimension.

Wang Wei did not focus too much on this and closed his eyes to access the Changing Fate Hall. He first checked the Mission Hall records and nodded in satisfaction after seeing the number of missions completed in this short period.

'It seems these mortals were motivated,' Wang Wei nodded. Many people have exchanged a Heaven Will, meaning his guards did not disappoint him a second time.

'The casualty is a little high,' Wang Wei noticed next. Many people died during missions, including from being captured and the restrictions he placed on their souls activating.

'It won't be long before I need a second round of recruitment,' he summarized before checking on the news gathered. With so many people selling information and the newly trained Fate Shadow Guard, he now had a decent spy network. It was far from good, or even at the level of unparalleled in the lower dimension, but it was decent — especially considering how long they started.

There were many pieces of news or information that Wang Wei found vital, so he reviewed all of them. Firstly, the guards did an excellent job of slowly killing the people who rejected his offer. They made most of them look like accidents or the result of disputes with other loose cultivators. More importantly, no one has suspected anything so far — including the people who checked on these individuals to see if Wang Wei was telling the truth.

Wang Wei nodded in praise at the result before continuing to sip through all this data.

'Hmm? Is that where Zhen Biyu is?' Wang Wei held a piece of paper with a pondering look. He put it aside before continuing his work. His eyes finally focused on a piece of news from the Lawless Zone.

This place was usually a place for people to hide from the world, but one of the members accidentally discovered a merchant running away from the Lawless Zone. Out of curiosity, they saved him and brought the merchant to this place, and the Fate Shadow Guard protected them because the information was valuable.

'Why is there no detailed information about the Lawless Zone?' His men should have interrogated the merchant and learned more about that place. Wang Wei searched for the answer and soon found it. The merchant was an unlucky individual. He went to the Lawless Zone to work at the Azure Sky Pavilion, and he wasn't there for a week when he accidentally learned something he should not have and had to run away while being hunted.

'It's unfortunate, but I guess I can get detailed information once I'm there,' Wang Wei thought before finishing his duty. He opened his eyes in his room and summoned two people, with Wang Qi being the first. As he waited, he checked the status of the Dao Burial Ground after absorbing more than four Ascending Treasure Qi. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

'It won't be long before it reaches a peak Supreme Innate Treasure,' Wang Wei thought. After knowing this, he hoped his meeting with Xi Shangyan would be productive. Wang Wei focused in the distance as he noticed a few familiar faces.

"Sect master."

"Anything significant happened during my absence?" His gaze shifted.

"Nothing extraordinary except the fact that the world has become quiet because of how much these people are searching for you," Wang Qi replied. "Even the Rebellion had reduced their activities due to the high security in all these parasites' territory."

Wang Wei nodded. It was indeed wise not to antagonize these people in the current state. One of the reasons Wang Wei chose to hide himself is because he feared his presence might force one of them to return from the frontline.

"One more thing," Wang Qi added. "You must prepare a gift for Xu Junyao's celebration and fight for an attending spot."

"I understand the gift, but what's with the attending spot?"

"From what I gathered, everyone is welcome to this celebration, but if you want to be in the room present with her, you must have a VIP card, and there are three ways to get one: personal invitation, a battle ring to display your strength, and lastly, spend lavishly to receive one."

"I see," Wang Wei nodded. "However, there is no need to fight for one. I'll contact Xiao Tiandi; he should provide one."

"Given your history, will he?"

"I can be very persuasive," Wang Wei replied, making Wang Qi secretly pray for Xiao Tiandi. "Alright. You can leave." However, Wang Qi did not leave. "Is there something else?"

"There is, but I don't know if I'm being too cautious or if there is something wrong," Wang Qi said. "Tell me, and I'll decide."

"It's like this. I contacted the ascending Emperors and Immortals without connection or association with a powerful lineage to see if they would work for us, and many accepted the offer. However, I haven't found the Demon Suppressing Emperor," Wang Qi revealed. "During the process, I learned that many of these people were captured to get information from you, and I fear the same might have happened to her. Of course, there is also a chance she found an excellent hiding place."

Wang Wei's eyes turned all gray as he checked on her. He soon frowned before summoning his Baxian Turtle Shell. "No, something did happen to her. Her fate is odd — it's a perfect balance."

"What does that mean?"

"It means things could go exceptionally well for her or extremely bad — there is no in-between."

"Can you tell where she is?"

"Unfortunately, no."

"Only Paragon and above power can block your divination. Does that mean she's really captured by these people?" Wang Qi asked.

"It looks like this. Luckily, it seems she has a hope of turning things around," Wang Wei commented. "Forget her for now. If we have the chance, we'll free her." Hong Wa is a Human and Heavenly Emperor, meaning she has a lot of potential, and Wang Wei does not want to give up such a talent.

"Come in," Wang Wei said out loud, and a shadow appeared before him, kneeling on one leg. "Red Mask Fate at your disposal, master."

"So, you're the new head of my guard," Wang Wei commented. As expected, the former elder of the Mask Clan proved her talent and was now in charge of the Fate Shadow Guards.

"Thank you, master, for this opportunity," she replied.

"No need to thank him. The Shadow Guard's ranking system is a meritocracy, and you have your positions because you're capable," Wang Wei answered. "However, you should have heard of your predecessors and how capable she was. Do you think you can fill in her shoes?"

"I do."

"I like your confidence. I don't have time now, but I'll use the Lord Shadow Technique on you once I settle everything."

Red Mask Fate was surprised. She had heard of this technique but did not think she had a chance since her predecessors and the person who inherited the position had already used it. Of course, she did not know that Wang Wei received the upgraded version of that technique from the sect. The Shadow Ruler Emperor's new scripture allowed for 4 Shadows in the Emperor Realm, 2 in the Empyrean Realm, and 1 in the Paragon Realm. Although Wang Wei only had access to the Empyrean Part, he was more than satisfied since he could create two individuals that could borrow all his strength. The sect even gave him the rare resources to create these unique shadows.

"Report the situation to me," Wang Wei ordered. Although he had deduced most of it from the Changing Fate Hall's situation, he still needed to hear the nitty gritty from Red Mask Fate. And that's precisely what she did, and Wang Wei listened attentively.

"You did an excellent job," Wang Wei praised. "I hope you keep up the good work." He ordered a few things before dismissing her.

"She's a talent," Wang Qi said.

"True, but how much of a talent is yet to be seen." Wang Wei could tell Red Mask Fate was talented, but her current success was primarily the result of the fact she's from the upper dimension and did not have to experience the adaptation period. This fact makes her the best candidate he has for this leadership role of his guard, but he'll know if she's genuinely talented once they face obstacles and she has to improvise. Only then will her position truly be secure.

Wang Wei summoned a talisman with stars engraved on them from his unique space. He activated it to contact Xi Shangyan, and less than 5 minutes later, she replied with a coordinate for a meeting. Wang Wei squinted his eyes because the meeting place was somewhere in the Source Qi Space.
