Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor
chapter-88

General 5 looked at the bandit boss with cold and ruthless eyes. Originally, he was intrigued by this guy's weird method of using his physical body, so he did not take the fight seriously.

Who'd have expected that this guy would have such a strange method that affected the spirit. If it was not due to his origin qi, he would have suffered an even worse defeat.

Yes, to General 5, being pushed back by a mortal is considered a humiliating defeat. What is even worse was the fact that General 5 was humiliated in front of his boss.

No to be precise, he was humiliated in front of his Boss' boss.

With a lot of anger, General 5 rushed towards the bandit boss. This time he did not reduce his strength and went all out.

The bandit boss again used his Explosion Fist Intent with a powerful punch. However, General 5 was prepared this time. He just mobilized part of his origin qi into his brain, essentially neutralizing the effect of the Fist Intent.

With a crack, General 5 broke the bandit boss' right hand. The boss screamed in pain, however General 5 ignored him. Without much hesitation, he broke the other hand of the bandit and both his legs.

Although General 5 was angry, he knew that his main purpose was to gather information from the bandit boss, so he just crippled him and did not immediately kill him.

The boss bandit lied in the ground with all his limbs either broken or twisted into different directions, and the pain was unbearable. He could guess the reason that these people kept him alive. However, he refused to be humiliated a second time by cultivators.

He looked at General 5 and Wang Wei's group with deep hatred in his eyes. Then without hesitation, he bit his tongue.

Blood overflowed over his clothes, then after a few minutes of constant bleeding, he died. However, somehow, despite his mutilated tongue, he still had a smile on his face.

General 5 looked at the dead bandit boss with surprise and anger on his face. He walked over and bowed to the group. "Young Master Wang Wei, Young Master Li Jun, I have failed my tasks. Please punish me."

Wang Wei looked at the bandit boss on the floor, then he patted General 5' shoulder. "You do not need to worry about such trivial things. It is obvious that this bandit boss had a story."

After saying that, he walked over to the remaining 20 bandits, passing over the body of the bandit boss on the floor.

With just one look of Wang Wei, the 20 bandits felt a vast pressure coming over them. They immediately knelt in the ground while cold sweat ran down their backs.

"I'm gonna ask this just once. Where is the direction of the closest city?"

After just a few seconds, one bandit could not bear the pressure and told the group the information they needed.

Wang Wei nodded in satisfaction, then he ordered General 5:

"Kill all the other ones and leave the one that spoke first as a guide."

Without hesitation, General 5 easily massacred the remaining bandits. The process went smoothly as none of them knew any martial art.

As for General 5, he was more than happy to do the dirty work. In fact, he was grateful to Wang Wei for providing him a chance to redeem his mistake.

There were currently only 5 generals under young master Li Jun. And currently, he was the weakest one. If he did not perform well, well then, Lieutenant #1 to #10 would be more than happy to take his title of General 5.

The group took more than 5 days traveling before reaching their destination: the Clear Sky City.

The journey could have been faster, unfortunately, Wang Ju is not allowed to use her cultivation level to fly.

As a last resort, Wang Wei wanted to tame a Demonic beast--hopefully a flying one--as a transportation means. However, the bandit guide told him that the distance to the closest herds of demonic beast was even further than the city they were heading to.

Luckily for this group, midway through their journey, they encountered another group of bandits that had many horses.

After arriving at the city, Wang Wei paid a few gold taels for entrance fee and reserved the most expensive rooms at the best Inn available.

However, his lavish spending was noticed by countless people with ulterior motives. In order not to cause himself trouble, Wang Wei released a powerful aura that covered the entire city--effectively scaring anyone who had any ideas about their group.

The next day, the City Lord came to visit Wang Wei personally. After a brief chat, the group got a little information about the city and the surrounding area. However, Wang Wei did not talk too long with the City Lord as he did not want him to realize that they did not know anything about this world.

Soon, the group spent half a month in Clear Sky City. Wang Ju--who had disappeared after the first day--returned bringing a beautiful and charming woman with her.

Inside the room, Wang Wei, Li Jun, Yan Liling, Wang Ju and the charming woman were having a discussion.

The charming woman slightly bowed and said, "Su Ai has seen Young Master Wang Wei."

"Su Ai? Where have I heard this name before?"

After hearing this question, three tails suddenly appeared behind Su Ai.

Suddenly, Wang Wei remembered where he heard that name: "You are the Young Matriarch of the Fox Demon Clan."

Su Ai bowed again and responded. "That's me. I would like to personally thank Young Master Wang Wei for saving our fox demon clan."

"You do not need to thank me. I just provided your clan with an opportunity. If your matriarch did not have the courage to defy the Demon Royal Family and moved the entire race, then it would be pointless for me to invite her."

"Young master, you may be right. However, in most situations, a single opportunity is more valuable than everything else."

"Well, you can disperse with the ceremonies. What brought you here to this plane?"

At this time, Wang Ju started to explain: "The Elders of the sect feared that the Great Wu Imperial Dynasty would not fight fair in this trial, so they wanted to secretly send someone here in advance to scoop information."

"At first, it was supposed to be me who came. However, the Young Matriarch contacted the sect and said that she wanted to repay the favor of saving their clan. Due to her powerful charm ability, the sect believed that she would be the perfect person to gather information and chose her instead."

After knowing the gist of everything, everyone nodded and looked at Su AI. She smiled and opened a map from her space ring.

"The Elders were right to be worried about the people of the Great Wu Imperial Dynasty."

After saying this, she pointed in the middle of the map. The entire middle ground was divided into three parts which had different labels: Great Wu, Great Ye, Great Shu.

"These three kingdoms are the most prosperous and powerful of the entire Warring Kingdom World. For countless years, they have fought with each other, thus creating a stable balance like a three-legged tripod."

"However, the Great Wu Dynasty was not always called like this. Its previous name was Great Wei."

After saying this, Su Ai looked at Wang Wei--who just shrugged his shoulders. It is not his fault that his name is actually quite common.

"According to the information that I have received, both Crown Prince Sun Wen and Third Prince Sun Jiaolong of the Great Wu Imperial Dynasty have long entered the world before everything else. Crown Prince Sun Wen seemed to have made some kind of deal with the royal family of the Great Wei Dynasty."

"A few months after his arrival, the Great Wei Dynasty changed its name to Great Wu and Su Wen was crowned Emperor."

Wang Wei nodded when he heard this. This was useful information. "Crowning himself Emperor Huh? The natives of this world may not know better, doesn't this Sun Wen know the significance of this word?"

"What about the other central Dynasties? Any information?"

"Yes, young master. All I currently know is that Crown Prince Ji Song has entered the army of the Great Ye Dynasty. He seemed to want to take control over the military first before overthrowing the royal family."

"That's a good plan. Is his big brother with him?"

"Yes, First prince Ji Su served as his advisor in the army."

"Well, things make more sense now. With this guy's rash nature, if things were left up to him, he would probably fight the entire kingdom with his strength alone."

After a brief ponder, Wang Wei continued to ask, "What about the Great Shu Dynasty?"

"Unfortunately, the information I have is already limited as they seemed to anticipate the infiltration of foreign spies and had preventive measures. All I know is the fact that someone was canonized as the Dynasty's National Teacher and Taoism became the national religion of the entire Great Shu Dynasty."

"I'm sorry young master that I could not gather more information."

Wang Ju walked to her and patted her shoulder: "You did more than enough in such a short period of time."

"Wang Ju is right, Miss Su Ai. The information you gathered is more than enough for us to get started."

"Well, thank you, young master Wang Wei. In fact, I could have gathered more information. Unfortunately, all of the cultivators of this world have powerful and tough spirits, making my charm less effective."

Wang Wei did not blame Su Ai. The information she brought was more than enough. As such, he started to ask her about the other kingdoms in this world, while planning his next step of action.
