Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

Chapter 152: Temporary Chaos

The Minister of War looked at the mummified corpse of Long Aotian on the bed and she was not that surprised. Although many people were worried that their Goddess had fallen in love with a native in a Small Thousand World, she never worried about this.

Although she did not know the reason that the Divine Child was acting lovey dovey with this Long Aotian, she did not believe even for a second that she had actually fallen in love with him.

As the person who watched Fang Lijuan growing, the Minister of War knew how deep the pride and arrogance the Divine Child had inside her. In her opinion, Fang Lijuan is the kind of woman who looks down on all beings--both women and men.

She also knows that the Divine Child is also very ambitious. So, unless there was a reason, she would never get close to someone without a reason.

As such, after entering the room and seeing the dead Long Aotian, she just glanced at him before reporting to Fang Lijuan.

"Goddess Empress, we just received an emergency news that the people of the Great Xia have long bypassed our blockade and have already taken over the capital. Now, they have already infiltrated this city and are now headed to this Manor."

After hearing this, Fang Lijuan did not show any emotions in her face, then she looked directly at the mummified Long Aotian and sighed.

"Worthy of a Son of Destiny," she muttered under her breath.

In fact there is a reason that Fang Lijuan had to get intimate with Long Aotian, having to go as far as showing her naked body.

Sons of Destiny are very tricky individuals to kill. According to the research she read back home, there are three ways to kill a Child of Destiny of any world: One is to use overwhelming strength to instantly kill them, cut off their powerful luck or destiny, and lastly, use emotional manipulation.

The first two methods are very straight forwards, but very difficult to accomplish. As long as you give a Son of Destiny the slightest of breathing room, they will find a way to escape as they are harder to kill than cockroaches.

As for cutting off their luck, only a few special individuals or techniques can do such a thing. And often, one has to suffer from backlash after executing these techniques.

The last method is more effective, but requires more planning. Another way to get rid of a Son of Destiny is to overwhelm his mind or spirit through emotions like anger or lust--just like Fang Lijuan did.

During these intense emotions, the Son of Destiny’s judgement are at all time low, thus easy to fall into traps like poison, sudden attacks, or trapping formation. However, during these scenarios, the Son of Destiny has to be quickly executed or some random event will occur that facilitates his escape.

Just like this sudden attack on this city. Fang Lijuan knew that if she wasted a few more minutes that maybe the attack of the Great Xia would be the catalyst that allowed Long Aotian to wake up and escape.

After thinking about this, Fang Lijuan waved her hand, then Long Aotian’s body turned into a blue crystal, following which he dispersed into crystallized particles that scatter into the air.

After that, she took out her Conferred God List and Imperial Seal to check the Qi Luck of her dynasty. And as expected, her Qi Dragon was on its last breath and on the verge of dying.

Normally speaking, as soon as the people of the Great Xia stepped into the capital, as the dynasty’s ruler, she should have been notified, and yet she was not.

Fang Lijuan guessed that the Heavenly Dao of this world hid the movement of her dynasty’s luck in an attempt to save Long Aotian. If she had known about the movement of the Great Xia army, she would have reinforced the city she was currently located in, thus preventing any chances that this Son of Destiny had to escape.

Meanwhile in the brief moment that Fang Lijuan took to do all these things, loud sounds could be heard coming near the Manor she was in.

She knew that time was running out, however, she did not care about such a thing given the fact that she had accomplished her task in this trial. So, without hesitation, Fang Lijuan crushed a talisman that swallowed both her and the Minister of War.

In the Endless Void, as soon as Fang Lijuan appeared, she saw the furious face of her Dao Protector.

"Are you happy now?" asked the True Monarch Dao Protector of the Divine Dao League.

"I don’t know what you mean," replied Fang Lijuan with a calm look on her cold and beautiful face.

"Do you know how much impact your little scheme has on our family? And even the Divine Dao League?"

Fang Lijuan frowned after hearing this. She noticed that there was only one True Monarch of the Divine Dao League left floating around here.

"Your poison did not kill Huang Min, however, you should have expected that given that your true objective was actually to ruin his bloodline. With us around, you probably guessed that he would not die, so you chose a herb that specifically targeted bloodline powers."

"Without a powerful bloodline, Huang Min can no longer hold the position of Dao Child, and of course, you do not have to marry him."

Fang Lijuan did not say anything, however, she did not also apologize. She never regretted her actions.

"Now, the Huang Min family has demanded that our Fang Family give them an explanation. Worse, they have even threatened to go to war with us if necessary."

"Our Fang Clan does not fear their Huang Clan," replied Fang Lijuan calmly.

"That may be so. However, have you ever thought about the consequences of internal friction between the two most powerful families of the Divine Dao League?"

"The status of our Divine Clans has always been precarious in the Myriad Emperor World. So, what do you think will happen to us if we start a civil war?"

Fang Lijuan further frowned after hearing this. She did not think that fat. All she knew was that she did not want to marry Huang Min, so she found a way to get rid of him.

She thought due to the fact that she did not "personally" do something to him that she could get away with it. But now, things seemed more complex than she imagined.

If the situation escalated like her Dao Protector said, the Huang family might ask that she be handed off as a peace offering between the two clans. Then, she would still be forced to marry some random person.

However, Fang Lijuan suddenly thought of the talisman she discovered in Long Aotian’ space ring. If this talisman is the one she believed it to be, then not only would her clan 100% support her from the pressure of the other Divine Clans, she will have a powerful boost for this generation’s Heaven Will.

As such, Fang Lijuan instantly removed the little regrets she had due to her actions and remained firm by her decision.

After seeing the stubborn look in her grand-niece’s face, the Dao Protector sighed before taking out a Void Boat, placed her and her companion on it before opening a space channel and leaving this world to head back home.

Meanwhile, back in the Warring Kingdom World, the Great Xia Dynasty had just finished conquering the Fang Divine Dynasty, when they received a sudden news.

Both the leaders of the Savior Coalition and the Huang Divine Dynasty have been killed, thus leaving these territories without a proper leader.

Chancellor Yan Liling--who is the de facto ruler of the dynasty while Wang Wei was in retreat---ordered all the dynasty’s legions to try to occupy as much territory as possible as quickly as possible.

Unfortunately, the Great Xia was not the only dynasty that received this news. The Great Zhou--who had just started stabilizing the territories that they occupied from Great Wu--also sent their military to occupy these leaderless lands.

Meanwhile, in the Great Shu Dynasty, Fang Heng was also having some troubles. After the assassination attempts of the Fate Shadow Guards, a few of his officials were killed, however, the impact was not enough to affect the entire dynasty.

Unfortunately for Feng Heng, someone took the opportunity to create more chaos in his dynasty. Many more officials and generals were assassinated again, and with great success.

After investigation, he realized that it was the spy of his competitors that did these things. He could guess that these people wanted to sabotage his trial.

Despite all that happened with these spies, this was not Feng Heng’s most urgent problem. After his teacher returned from the Secret Realm, he noticed that the disappearance of the Incense Power in the temple dramatically increased.

So, he guessed that these spies must be stepping up their plan, so he needed to speed up the speed of catching them.

However, weirdly enough, the Great Shu Dynasty did not receive the information about the situation of the Savior Coalition or the Huang Divine Dynasty.
