Chapter 142 - Aftermath
Chapter 142 – Aftermath
Snow Tiger Mountain, the people that did not enter the Secret Realm looked at its destruction with shock and confusion. A few people suddenly realized the meaning behind this explosion and immediately ran away.
Meanwhile, in the clouds above the Snow Tiger Mountain, Wang Wei was floating in the air while looking at his masterpiece with a smile on his face.
He has been planning this game for more than two years, ever since the Noble Alliances threatened him with the Supernatural Realm cultivators.
After discovering a Secret Realm that once belonged to the Dong royal family, he started planning this game. In order not to let anyone discover his plan, he erased all records of this Secret Realm. Anyone who knew about it had their memories erased.
At first this plan was created in order to kill all the Supernatural Realm cultivators of the Zheng, Leng, and Chang clan, however, Wang Wei figured out it was a waste to use an entire Secret Realm to actually kill a few Supernatural Realm cultivators.
So, he increased his layout or plan to cover the entire world.
With this event, the majority of the elite of this world were killed, thus weakening the strength of all the factions of this world. Not to mention all the Supernatural Realm cultivators that were killed in this incident.
What happened two years ago taught Wang Wei that these people could cause serious problems to his rule if they ever banded together. Although the majority of them are actually hermit in recluse, he did not want to rely on their willingness to decide whether they would cause trouble.
As such, he took preventive measures and killed the trouble in the bud. In order to do so, he had to make it look like the Great Xia was actually also a victim, so he also sent an "elite" group of soldiers inside the Secret Realm.
Of course the soldiers that entered were not actually elites of the Great Xia. They were in fact all the nobles he previously captured during the invasion of the Barbarian Wolf Kingdom.
Afterwards, he placed the most expensive armors he could find on them, trained them for a few months to look like proper elite soldiers, then had Li Jun installed slaughter qi into their bodies to make it look like they had witnessed countless battles.
As a matter of fact, in order to be cautious, Wang Wei did not even take out all the wealth that he placed inside the Secret Realm. Instead, he allowed them to be destroyed along with all the cultivators–or so he thought.
After watching his masterpiece for a while, Wang Wei flew to the closest city of Snow Tiger Mountain and met with Grand Censorate Wang Ju.
"Is everything done?" he asked her.
"Yes, your majesty. Under your order, all the Fate Shadow Guards started a large scale assassination against all the officials of the other factions. Whether it was generals, ministers, scholars, or alchemists. We have targeted all the backbones of these dynasties, essentially crippling them."
"What was the result?" asked Wang Wei with a nonchalant look on his face.
"We have accomplished a great deal of success in the Fang Divine Dynasty, the Huang Divine Dynasty and the Savior Alliance, and the Great Wu. We did get some success in the Great Shu Dynasty, however, given how weak our influences are there, the result was not as satisfactory as we expected."
"However, the people of Great Zhou seemed to have anticipated our attack, resulting in failure. As a matter of fact, a few of our agents were killed there."
Wang Wei nodded after hearing this, not that surprised by this outcome. He never believed that his opponents were all idiots. Based on Ji Su's intelligence, he would never fail for the same method twice.
Furthermore, today, when he saw that the Great Zhou had given the majority of their spots to the Great Wu people, he figured out that his plan might have been noticed by him.
However, he did not care about this. Even if Ji Su exposed his game, he had many other ways to lure the people of the world into the Secret Realm.
And if all of that failed, he would still be satisfied with getting rid of the Noble Alliance from his own dynasty.
"Anything else to report?" asked Wang Wei.
"Yes, Patriarch Zheng Yong has asked to meet with you after being arrested. Do you want to talk to him?"
"No need, just execute him with all the other patriarchs. Also, leave no one alive in their clans," responded Wang Wei by waving his hand.
After finishing the meeting, Wang Wei flew towards Snow Tiger Mountain again. However, by this time, the majority of people had long run away. Wang Wei waved his hand and countless arrays were activated, isolating the chaotic space currents or energy that still existed after the explosion.
Then his eyes lit up. Another reason that he chose this method of killing all the elites of the world was actually to create an environment for him to refine his fleshly body.
Over the years, Wang Wei has spent a lot of time practicing the [Ancient Desolate Body Refining Scripture] and refining his bones. However, the process has been quite slow.
So, after discovering the Secret Realm, he thought about using the power of chaotic space to further refine his fleshly body. So, after activating the formations to prevent other people from entering the area, he started to refine his fleshly body with the power of chaotic space.
Of course, Wang Wei only dared to do such a thing because the level of space in this Small Thousand World was quite weak, otherwise, he would be ripped to shreds if he ever tried something like this back home–especially with his current realm.
A few kilometers away from Snow Tiger Mountain, a man with a hood covering his face was standing on top of a demonic beast. This demonic beasts was actually a Tier 4 one given the aura he exudes,
The man finished reading a talisman, then looked in the direction of Snow Tiger Mountain, then he muttered:
"Killing all the elites of the world in order to pave the way for your future conquest? This Wang Wei is not as simple as the Elders said. However, this also works in my favor."
The hooded man sighed and motioned for the demonic beast to move. Then, the bird-looking demonic beast turned invisible, no, it just blended into the surroundings. An act which also made this hooded man invisible. Then, they left in one direction, however, the man still muttered to himself before departing:
"Unfortunately, my plans are not completely ready yet."
Meanwhile, in the Great Zhou Military Barracks, Ji Song was reading information while fuming. As he breathes out loud, a powerful gas can be seen coming out of his nose.
Veins could be seen popping out of his forehead, then he crushed the talisman in his hand. Immediately afterwards, a terrible bloodlust could be seen in his eyes. All the generals in the meeting room placed their heads down and dared not look him in the eyes.
The reason that Ji Song was so furious was that he almost fell for the same trap twice, and by the same person too. If his big brother did not stop him, Heaven knows what would have happened to him if he entered that Secret Realm.
The more Ji Song thought about this, the more angry he became. Suddenly, the seats under him started melting as lava started falling out of his body."
"Little Song, control yourself," yelled Ji Su, an act which eventually calmed down Ji Song a little bit. He ignored the melted chair underneath him, then took many deep breaths before completely calming himself down.
He looked at his big brother and asked, "What do we do from now on?"
"Luckily, I had anticipated this outcome, so our losses are actually negligible," responded Ji Su. The people he sent to the Secret Realm were nothing but prisoners of war that he secretly controlled through poisons.
The only exception being the Commander, however, Zhang Qi was sent there fully aware that he might not return alive. Fortunately, it seemed that he managed to escape the pursuit of the Fate Shadow Guards.
"Now that all the elite soldiers of the Great Wu Dynasty have been killed, this is the perfect time for us to quickly capture all their remaining territory."
Ji Song nodded in agreement before starting the war again. This time, the Great Zhou Dynasty was even more fierce. In order to rapidly move their troops, Ji Su used a large number of demonic beasts.
These demonic beasts traveled day and night without rest. Once they reach their limits, Ji Su will place them inside his space ring–which was very large and capable of holding living beings– and replace them with new demonic beasts.
In that way, the transportation system of the Great Zhou Dynasty can reach at least 70% of the Great Xia that used Constructs or Puppets.
Of course, the Great Zhou was not the only dynasty that was rushing to conquer more land. After the Secret Real Incident, Li Jun also started a fierce attack against the Fang Divine Dynasty.
