Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

Wang Wei pointed his finger to the woman's forehead, instantly souring her expression. As the seal entered her Sea of Consciousness and targeted her soul, a terrifying soul poison rushed from the Poison Demoness' mind, targeting him. Although it appeared she had given, that was far from the truth.

Someone of her cultivation level and status would never give up hope of freedom until she exhausted every possible measure. As such, when Mongke did not kill or immediately control her, the demoness planned her escape. Sadly for her, she jumped from one monster's mouth to another. Ultimately, she sighed, resigning herself to her fate.

"What can you tell me about the Death-root Poison?" Wang Wei asked.

"What is there to say? I spent so much time and effort cultivating the thing, but someone stole it."

"Who stole it?"

"It was an apprentice. No, not even an apprentice, but a medicine slave I bought," the Poison Demoness replied nonchalantly. Wang Wei frowned. His intuition told him this news was important, but he could not pinpoint how. His eyes turned gray as he divined some information, but a vaguely familiar fog blocked his true sight. He tried other divinations and discovered a clue.

"Where did you get the poison?" Wang Wei asked.

"A fortunate encounter."

"In this place or outside?"

Wang Wei frowned, wondering whether the Lawless Zone could give birth to a fortunate encounter of such a level. Although rare, it should be possible if someone who came to hide in this place brought the poison and died, thus leaving it as a fortunate encounter.

"You said you bought the medicine slave? From who?" he asked.

"The Green Earth Pavilion," the demoness replied.

"Them? They sell people?"

"One of the biggest sources of wealth from the Green Earth and Azure Sky Pavilion is selling slaves," the Poison Demoness calmly explained. "They even used the 4 gangs to help --- especially the Crazy Thief Gang."

'That would explain the source of all the ordinary women and men in Mongke's Battle Coliseum,' Wang Wei thought.

"Did you make a fuss to the Green Earth Pavilion after the medicine slave escaped with your property?"

"I did," the demoness replied. "But they only offered twice the price I bought her for, which was nothing compared to the poison's value."

"It seems you might be immediately useful," Wang Wei muttered. He instructed her of something before turning into one of the demoness' strings of her.

…

Green Earth Pavilion:

The Poison Demoness calmly waited in the room where the pavilion received VIPs of VIPs. She had made trouble, asking to meet their pavilion master, and after she refused to be handled by their main manager, these people had no choice but to contact their leader.

A few minutes later, the Earth Pavilion Master entered the room, followed by two guards. He was a fat middle-aged man, wearing a luxurious white-gold robe with jades and gold jewelry pieces as accessories. He was a Great Emperor with a cultivation of 59%, and his aura reeked of debauchery/hedonism.

It was apparent to anyone that this man had his cultivation achievements because of his wealth, and if not for his [Immortality], his body would be weak due to indulgence in food, alcohol, drugs, and sex. However, some credit should be granted to him since he could still use his power, meaning his Dao Heart was intact, and his state of mind — no matter how twisted — had some sense of purpose and direction.

A look of disdain flashed in the Poison Demoness' eyes. However, she still gave the Earth Pavilion some respect, mainly because of the twin bodyguards accompanying him. Meanwhile, the Earth Pavilion controlled himself and did not gaze at her with any lustful thoughts or intent. On the contrary, he showed her the most respect despite detecting the disdain in her eyes.

"Poison Master, what happened to you to make such a fuss?" the Earth Pavilion Master asked with a business-like smile. The demoness was about to open her mouth and make a fuss about her poison, even demanding them to search for her medicine slave on the outside. However, Wang Wei did not give her, or anyone else, the time to react.

A group of strings suddenly appeared out of nowhere to capture the Pavilion Master. The twins reacted and tried to protect him, but everything was sudden and fast; they did not react in time.

As precautions to personally meeting the Poison Demoness, the pavilion master prepared numerous pills and talismans, mostly ways to deal with her poison. However, he also prepared if he needed to run away, so his talisman tried to take him away from the situation. Sadly for him, these strings contained the power of fate, thus blocking all possibilities of escape that he could think of. Wang Wei then appeared in the room with the pavilion master as his captive.

"How did you bypass our defenses?" the fat businessman asked.

"It's not as hard as you imagine," Wang Wei replied casually.

"Put down the Pavilion Master," said one of the Fire-Ice Twin Empyreans.

"And you may still walk out of this room alive," finished the other.

Wang Wei focused on them. "False Everlasting Empyreans? And two of them?" These two used to be Eternal Emperors but failed to become Everlasting. However, they had a Dao Will and Secret Vaults.

"Kill this bastard," said the Earth Pavilion Master. The twins hesitated. They could cultivate peacefully because the pavilion master was an excellent business. If they lost him, the Green Earth Pavilion would not last long despite being the most powerful martial force.

"Don't hesitate," the fat man continued. If you kill him swiftly enough, it won't matter whether he kills me since you can revive me." The Pavilion Master was an Emperor, so he had prepared plenty of resources for his fast revival. "You're really the embodiment of not judging a book by its cover," Wang Wei commented, silently praising this man for his boldness and quick thinking. Maybe having such a capable merchant under his command was not bad.

The twins glanced at each other before taking action. Their cultivation was 84% Grand Dao Source, but they used their boosting techniques. The first one was from their Empyrean Artifact, which was a pair of red and blue throwing disks. The artifact gave them another 2% boost. They followed that with a Soul Resonating Technique, and since they were twins that did everything together since birth — including proving the Dao simultaneously — they had another 2% boost. Finally, they used their best skill — Dao Will Fusion — which boosted them to the limit of the Empyrean Realm: 89.99%.

One twin released a terrifying heat, and the other turned the other half of the room into an ice tundra. They did not throw their artifact but held it in their hands before rushing for a close combat attack.

'That Dao Will Fusion technique is actually brilliant, even better than the one Mongke used when he added his Muscle Will,' Wang Wei calmly commented. He pointed at the twins to release a Yin-Yang Symbol that rotated counter-clockwise.

Before the twins could react, their Dao Will separated, and their soul resonance also dissipated. Even their artifacts, which were usually perfectly in sync, seemed out of balance. Then, before they could think of another solution to this situation, the Yin-Yang Symbol turned into a seal that captured them.

'It's over,' the Earth Pavilion Master thought. After so many years, after countless battles and catastrophes, his life has ended today. He felt sad, but a part of him always knew this day would come. Factions in this place do not usually last long and have a cyclical nature, and sadly, it seems it was time for a new era.

After taking control of the upper echelon of the Green Earth Pavilion, it was relatively easy for Wang Wei to secretly take over the rest. He did not spend long in this place before heading to the Azure Sky Pavilion. Time was of the essence since he needed to control all these factions before the Hidden Master took note of the changes. Although he was confident in himself, he was unsure whether he could be victorious against the latter under these circumstances.

Wang Wei took a moment to see if he could find any more information about the medicine slave that stole the death-root. However, the pavilion's record only stated that it was a woman, and she was a loose cultivator with no family or background — hence why she was targeted.

Without much to go on and divination failing him, Wang Wei headed for the Azure Sky Pavilion. His plan for them was slightly different. He detected one of the spies they had in the Green Earth Pavilion and released the news that he was a newcomer to the Lawless Zone, and he came to sell a piece of important news that involved the Azure Sky Pavilion.

The information was about the secret routes they used to acquire resources from the outside. This news was, in fact, true, as Wang Wei had acquired it from the merchant that his Fate Shadow Guard accidentally saved. After setting the bait, Wang Wei waited.
