Chapter 1284 Plunder
"Wait," Wang Wei said. "Were you scared?" He asked, looking directly into her eyes. Wu Hong was calm, but he knew her better than he knew the back of his hands, so he saw the signs.
"By the blessing of the Dao," Wang Wei said in shock before laughing out loud. "The proud and mighty Empress Wu has such a moment of weakness. This is the greatest day of my life."
"I don't know what kind of delusion your mind has conjured, but don't involve me," Wu Hong replied calmly. Sadly, Wang Wei ignored her words.
"This moment will feed my existence for trillions of yuan epochs — no, for eternity," Wang Wei continued. "I will tell everyone — especially our kids. I can picture it now. When I tell them of the one time I saw their scary mother trembling in fear. Yes, I can see it. Their tiny eyes became wide in shock. Then, they'll look at me in disbelief, wondering whether the emotion known as fear could even be associated with their mother in the slightest.
"By the grace of the ancestors, this is truly the greatest moment of my life."
Wang Wei's joy was palpable, almost illuminating the private room. Meanwhile, Wu Hong was gloomy.
"If you dare utter a word, the things I'll do to you could no longer be described as unspeakable," she warned.
"It doesn't matter," Wang Wei replied, his face showing a hint of unparalleled confidence. "No matter what trials and tribulations you put me through, no matter what darkness, the fact that you were once scared is enough for me to survive anything."
"You!"
Wang Wei grinned in response. Then, a cunning light flashed in Wu Hong's eyes. Her demeanor suddenly changed as she became sad and even docile; such a temperament immediately made any man wish they could protect her. She materialized a tissue and started crying.
"How can you be so cruel? This is the first time I've shown such a vulnerable side to you, but now, you're weaponizing it against me and even our future children. How can you do such a thing?"
Wang Wei stood before her in shock. In his wildest dream, he never thought that would be her reaction. The rudeness of the situation and Wu Hong's current state instantly made him want to reach over and reassure her that he was just joking. Luckily, he immediately woke up and realized what was happening.
'Well played,' he praised in his mind. Unfortunately, she had met her match. "Okay, your little act won't work on me. Your future self sent a clone in the past to prevent me from having a harem. Our relationship was destined to have some toxicity. Accept this loss and move on."
"You bastard!' Wu Hong said, returning to her calm and authoritative self. "This is not over," she declared after putting the tissue away.
"I'm sure it's not," Wang Wei smiled. They have an eternity to spend together, so it's great for their relationship to have its uniqueness. Otherwise, they will face the same fate as most Dao Partners — getting bored of each other.
"By the way, why were you scared? Didn't you already guess about our future selves?"
"Of course I have," Wu Hong replied. "But I'm not as crazy as you to put so much faith in my so-called future self. Have you never wondered whether these people protected us as our future selves? What if they are someone else pretending to be? And even if they are ourselves, who knows how much we've changed. At their levels, the past might not matter much to them."
Wu Hong sighed.
"The entire situation seems ridiculous and unnecessarily complicated to me."
Wang Wei nodded. Of course, he's thought of all these questions and possibilities. "All I can say is firstly, we cannot interfere in these battles yet, so we have no choice but to believe. Secondly, there are no signs of a problem so far, so all I can do is keep calm, retain that level of faith, and keep my guard up if I detect or deduce some kind of anomaly."
Wu Hong looked in the distance. In this overtly complex situation, his mindset was the best choice. 'It seems I must enter the Dark Truth as soon as possible.' She realized that since the Ultimate Taboo, she might have become conservative in her actions. Otherwise, after so many years, as long as she took the risk and left the Eternal Ascension World, there are plenty of ways to heal her injuries and return to peak strength.
"Don't you have plundering to do," Wu Hong said, looking at him.
"Damn it." Wang Wei almost forgot.
"Wait. Here." Wu Hong handed him the power of fate she took from Old Man Tianji. "This is Xun Junyao's share. Give it to her." Wang Wei nodded before teleporting away. Wu Hong calmly watched him leave, and a few seconds later, she smiled. She was correct in thinking he could bring some colors to her life.
'Let's continue observing before making any final decisions.' Although she had a favorable view of him, this was not something she could decide after only two meetings. Anyway, they had eternity before them, so there was no need to rush.
…
Wang Wei teleported to the Domineering Dragon Realm. He scoffed at the name as he knew the Blood Dragon changed it after taking control of this territory. Wang Wei immediately detected countless energy powers, so he focused on the largest one.
He saw countless people attacking this beautiful palace, which was surrounded by auspicious clouds, dragons roaming around, and floating in the void as a massive ocean held it up. A powerful shield surrounded the palace, and no matter how many people attacked it, it remained intact.
"The Dragon Palace," Wang Wei muttered. This was Blood Dragon's primary residence, meaning it was the place with the most outstanding amount of resources. Wang Wei flew to his people.
"Sect Master, you're finally here," Wang Qi said. He recognized the latter from his aura despite Wang Wei still being inside the puppet.
"What's the situation?"
"With the help of the Changing Fate Hall and the Fate Guard, we've plundered the most powerful branches, outposts, and allies," Wang Qi explained. The Blood Dragon ruled trillions of worlds, universes, domains, and realms. As such, he needed help to control such vast territories, so he had many branches and allies scattered in his territory.
"So, that only leaves the Dragon Palace," Wang Wei nodded.
"Yes, but with the Paragon Array, we're powerless," Wang Qi replied. "Additionally, someone already went in?"
"Oh?"
"I think it was Xun Junyao," Wang Qi continued. "Her people were already waiting, but once she arrived, she used an Array Breaking Talisman to make a hole in this place's defense and entered."
Wang Wei frowned: "Where is Red Mask?"
"She and many of her people were already inside before the formation was activated, but we've lost contact."
"She should have contacted us if her mission had succeeded," Wang Wei commented, thinking about his next step. He could not wholly rely on Red Mask now that he knew Xun Junyao had entered. By the time she takes control of the array and opens a path for them, Xun Junyao might have already plundered the best resources.
'Even though no Paragon is controlling the array, it will take me too long to use brute force to enter,' Wang Wei analyzed. 'However, since Xun Junyao could enter with an Array Breaking Talisman, it means the formation is not at its peak, so maybe I can use a similar method.'
Wang Wei did not have a rank 12 Array Breaking Talisman, but he could try other ways. 'The Array Virus?' He immediately shelled this idea. In the lower dimension, the idea of the Array Virus was elevated to Emperor Tier, but it was useless for a Paragon Array unless it could be further improved. However, that was impossible in such a short period.
'In that case, I can only use a more direct and radical method,' Wang Wei concluded before summoning his people. Mongke, his wife, the second prince, and everyone else stopped attacking the array and regrouped with Wang Wei.
So, he took them to the edge of the Dragon Palace's shield and used his Order-Disorder Dao. Wang Wei used the same technique from his fights against Five Feathers, except his target was this array shield. He did not target the entire thing but made a hole deep enough for their team to enter. Such a clever maneuver allowed him to achieve his goal while drastically minimizing the potency of the willpower backlash.
"Let's go," Wang Wei said as he led everybody inside. The group's action caught the other people's attention, so a few clever people thought this might be their chance to enter, so they rushed into the hole. Sadly for them, Wang Wei's team did not take kindly to these leeches.
The Poison Demoness waved her hand to leave a nasty poison gas before the entrance, instantly killing a few Dao Rulers and one Empyrean. The gas dissipated after the team entered, and the hole in the formation healed itself.
