Chapter 1250 Another Great Variable

Wang Qi did not immediately answer but looked at the people next to Wang Wei. "Don't worry about them since they are my people now," Wang Wei reassured. Then, he motioned to everyone else.

"This is Wang Qi. Don't look at his cultivation. He is the steward of my operations and, thus, holds my complete trust. Show him some respect when dealing with him."

Mongke was the first to salute Wang Qi, and the others followed. Wang Qi returned the salute while secretly honored that these big men would lower their heads to show him respect. However, he also understood this was not due to him but because of the patriarch. He also resolved himself to increase his cultivation as soon as possible to earn that respect.

"Tell me what made you so excited?" Wang Wei continued.

"The Brilliant Smile Emperor was captured," Wang Qi swiftly replied.

"By who?"

"The Five-Feather Phoenix people," Wang Qi explained.

"Is it because of his ascension?"

"Yes. The fact that he brought an entire world caught the attention of many, so he was captured along with the Sky Fall World."

"This might be major trouble," Wang Wei grunted.

"It is?" Wang Qi asked, and he was not the only one puzzled. "I was careful so no one found out I was looking for him. Plus, the Brilliant Smile Emperor is only a talented Emperor — he shouldn't be that important?"

"You're not seeing the bigger picture," Wang Wei stated. "For many years, no one thought about ascending an entire world, and even if they did, it was not such a popular idea. Now, what do you think will happen if the parasites began to plan to ascend worlds from the lower dimension forcefully?"

"There are rules, aren't there?" Wang Qi asked. "They can't just send a projection to force a world ascension."

"They can still send people down there to do their bidding within the limit of the rules," Mongke added. "They have enough time to plan this out for generations, if not eras."

"But, the Brilliant Smile Emperor's success cannot be easily replicated. Someone would need to convince over 70% of the world's top faction to aid him in the ascension," Wang Qi rebutted.

"Or force them to obey," Dulgun added. "It's easy for an Emperor to gain enough power to dominate a world in the lower dimension."

"Also, convincing an entire world is not as hard as you imagine," added the second prince, Jia Ping. "With the promise of immortality, many worlds without top factions connecting to the upper world will gladly accept such an offer."

"So, internal fighting for power?" Wang Wei sneered. "They've been without a leader for a couple of thousand years, and they are already crumbling from the inside. No wonder their cause didn't get any traction until I revitalized them with these superb talents."

"Bold words," said Fierce Tiger, eyes flashing red momentarily. He had calmed down by now and successfully resisted the pressure of everyone else. Of course, he's lucky Wang Wei did not participate in this activity.

"Are they?" Wang Wei finally looked at him. "Empyrean Jimin was a capable leader, but your cause did not have much traction or success until I sent my people, blessing you with their tremendous luck and destiny. Now, I ask for a simple request to relinquish control of one of them after I repay what they owe, but this is your response."

"But your response was not simple," Fierce Tiger responded, trying a softer approach after realizing this person — likely the destined one — had already built such a powerful force in such a short period.

"Zhen Biyu's status and situation had made her a valuable asset, maybe above the others. Her role is integral for us to keep tabs on Taoism."

"That's why I offered to share the information she provides," Wang Wei countered.

"But here comes the issue — we cannot trust you regarding something of such significance."

"Who's we?" Wang Wei asked. "Your entire cause, or your faction that suddenly took power after Empyrean Jimin's disappearance?"

Fierce Tiger could not answer.

"I've been working fine with them so far, and we've established some level of trust. If you had an issue with complete separation from Zhen Biyu's contract, you could have talked to me to reach a compromise. Instead, you outright rejected my request.

"Such a way of behaving tells me a lot about how your moronic faction operates."

"No need to be rude. We've shown you enough respect —"

"That's because I have a decent power, faction, and destiny on my side. I can tell you how you were about to treat me had I not given you a warning," Wang Wei cut him off. At this point, Fierce Tiger had flames gushing out his eyes due to his anger.

"Tell me," Wang Wei continued. "How many of the people I sent do you think will continue working for you after their contracts end — especially if I sent the words out of our falling out or the fact I've built a better resistance? How many do you think? 80%? Probably as high as 90, right?"

Fierce Tiger did not answer.

"Release the contract or not," Wang Wei continued. "But remember that your choice will decide our relationship move forward from now on."

Wang Wei waved his hand to end the communication, and he immediately looked at Red Mask.

"How is your infiltration of the rebellion?"

"Decent. We've infiltrated many lower-tier factions and a few middle-tier ones," Red Mask replied truthfully.

"Accelerate the speed," Wang Wei ordered. "Additionally, find out how many people know about Zhen Biyu's status as a double spy. I don't trust these bastards not to reveal it out of spite."

"It will done," Red Mask bowed, disappearing to get started on her task immediately.
