Chapter 159: Revenge Rematch
Wang Wei looked at his own hand that he had just removed the space crack. Besides his clothes that were cut into many pieces, he was perfectly fine; his skin was not even cut in the process.
He nodded in satisfaction before flying back to the Hidden Master Plain. By the time he arrived, Li Jun had already finished his enlightenment. Wang Wei observed closely.
The only difference from before was the fact that the killing aura his body naturally emanated was gone. He looked completely like a normal person. However, Wang Wei could still feel the slaughter aura hiding deep in his body, it is just that Li Jun could control it at will now.
After nodding to Li Jun, Wang Wei ordered all the people to guide the water back to the river it originated from. The majority of these demonic beasts were killed by drowning, while others died mysteriously. Wang Wei guessed that they died to Liu Meixiu’s origin ability.
After the entire plain was drained, Wang Wei ordered that the body of these demonic beasts be preserved as he had a major plan that needed to use them. This plan could be what finally helped him achieve the last transformation of his Qi Luck.
While Wang Wei was doing damage control back in Great Xia, in the Endless Void, Liu Meixiu appeared in front of her Dao Protector with one hand missing, and blood spilling all over the void.
Her Dao Protector waved her hand to seal the bleeding empty arm socket before saying, "You do not need to worry. With the sect’s help, it is only a matter of time for you to regrow another arm."
Liu Meixiu nodded, but a look of hatred could be seen flashing in her eyes. Once she has the chance, she will take her revenge.

Meanwhile, Yan Chen and Ji Han were looking at Liu Meixiu’s Dao Protector with a smirk on their faces. As a result, she snorted before opening a space channel and heading back to the Myriad Emperor World with Liu Meixiu.
Meanwhile, back in the Great Zhou, Ji Song had an ugly look on his face as his officials started reporting what had occurred to their dynasty in just a few days.
"Your majesty, in the past few days, there had been countless natural disasters that plagued the dynasty. From drought, to earthquakes, river overflowing and even insect tides."
"Many of our crops were destroyed creating a famine. Luckily, there were still a lot of grains in reserve, but it can only last us a few months."
"Just a few days after using the dynasty’s Qi Luck to kill all these demonic beasts, so many disasters have hit us all at once," said Ji Song. Then, he crushed the edge of his throne before saying, "Why did all of these demonic beasts have to die after we used our Dynasty’s Qi Luck?
"This is likely the plan of the Heaven Chosen of the Herd Raising Valley," replied Ji Su. "Although I did not figure out the exact plan, I have a feeling that person was forced to advance her plan earlier than anticipated."
"None of that matters now. What’s important is how to fix the current situation of our dynasty and prevent its eventual collapse."
"Well, this is my plan to fix our problems," replied Ji Su.
A few days later, in the Great Shu Dynasty, Feng Heng was walking with a happy smile on his face. The reason for that was because he finally caught the spies from his competitors.
After spending so many years and resources, he finally caught all of them. Finally, Feng Heng can rest in peace as he does not need to worry about the whereabouts of the Incense Power.
Midway through, someone came to hand him a letter. He opened to read it, before saying with a frown:
"Ji Song wants to have a duel with me? The winner gets all the territory of the loser?"
After a few seconds, Feng Heng sneered before saying to the person that handed him the letter, "Just reply ’no’ to him."
After saying that, Feng Heng placed everything behind him as he entered a prison. This was the place where all the spies were locked up.
After approaching one the cell, he saw more than five people who had bruises all over their body. A powerful seal was placed on their cultivation to prevent them from escaping.
Without hesitation, he said, "I do not have time to play around with you guys, so tell me where you place them?"
"What are you talking about?" said one of the prisoners. However, immediately afterwards, another one butt headed the one that spoke.
"I’m talking about the Incense Power. Where did you guys put it?"
All the prisoners frowned after hearing this, but this time, no one actually spoke to him this time, an act which made Feng Heng’s face very ugly.
This was very rare for him as a taoist that always strived to reach a state of inactive, not to be bothered by the people or things around; to always let nature take its course.
He then took a deep breath to calm himself down, then he said, "Do not force me to use the Soul Search Method on you guys. As you know, since I’m still in the Divine Altar Realm and have not opened my Divine Consciousness yet, this process will 100 percent result in severe damage to your souls."
All these spies shuddered after hearing this. Although they were trained not to fear death, however, being Soul Damage is worse than death for them. However, despite their initial fears, they still chose to remain silent.
Except for one person. This person did not want to die, nor did he want to become a Soul Damage cultivator. So, he immediately said, "I can tell you anything you want, but I have one condition."
"What!"
"I want to become your subordinate."
The remaining five were instantly shocked and began to call this person a traitor. However, he just ignored them. He valued his life more than his loyalty to his previous master, who he considered a loser after his defeat at the hands of the current Dao Child.
Meanwhile, after pondering for a while, Feng Heng said, "I accept your offer."
The traitor nodded in satisfaction before saying, "The truth of the matter is that we did not take the Incense Power."
Instantly the traitor noticed a sudden change in Feng Heng’s face, so he clarified.
"We all know how severe the Profound Gate is when it comes to Incense Power, so how could we deal with that kind of thing? Our mission was simply to sabotage your dynasty’s order and prevent you from passing this trial."
"Furthermore, with Supreme Celestial Elder Wu Ming observing the entire trial, how would we dare to play with Incense Power? If you do not believe me, you can check our space ring. If that is not convincing enough, you can check the souls of the other four."
Feng Heng’s eyes lit up after hearing. How could he forget that a True Monarch was observing this trial? And this person was also his Dao Protector.
With him as a witness, the sect will believe his innocence. After thinking about this, Feng Heng suddenly felt like a heavy burden had been lifted off his shoulder. However, in order to be safe, he decided to follow this traitor’s advice.
Personally, Feng Heng would never truly trust such a person who easily betrayed their master in order to save their lives. However, he can still use this person as a way to gather more information about his competitors back in the Taiyi Profound Gate.
Meanwhile, in the Great Zhou Dynasty, Ji Song was sitting on his throne leading a court meeting, then he asked his brother, "What did he say?"
"He declined our challenge," replied Ji Su with a sigh. However, Ji Song was not surprised, as if he anticipated this, so he asked, "What’s next?"
"We go to Plan B," replied Ji Su with a sigh in his face. He knew that this was inevitable, but he still tried to stop it from happening.
A few days later, in the Great Xia Imperial Throne Room, Wang Wei was holding a letter with a smile on his face as he muttered:
"A challenge to determine the fate of our dynasty? That sounds like an excellent idea to me."
The same day, an urgent letter was sent back to Ji Song through a Soaring Phoenix Construct with a few simple words:
"Name the time and place."
Ji Song started laughing out loud after seeing this letter. In some ways, he and Wang Wei are the same kind of person. They are quite militant by nature and are always up to a challenge.
And Ji Song was particularly excited as he’s been waiting for a rematch that allows him to exact his revenge for what happened to him in the Spirit Road, and the sacrifice of his great-uncle, Ji Xiang.
After choosing a time and date, Ji Song waited with excitement as he could foresee that this would be the epitome of Heaven Chosen Battle in this current generation.
