Ambushing Dai Weisi

In the Consciousness World, Wu Qi had no idea how long he had been walking.

Soon, the uphill path ended, and he knew he had reached the summit.

Looking up now, the sky was no longer as monotonous as before; besides the high-hanging Scepter of Destruction, there was also a vast starry sky.

Looking around, Wu Qi was surprised to find that he was not in a world, but standing on a giant Meteorite. The yellow mist around him was not sand or dust, but nebula material.

Fortunately, only his consciousness arrived here; if his true body had come, he would have perished in the starry sky.

Not knowing what would happen next, Wu Qi simply sat down on the spot and quietly watched everything unfold.

Soon, the world around us seemed to be accelerated.

In Wu Qi's eyes, the surrounding nebula matter was flowing at an accelerated pace, like magnificent rivers.

Rivers converge in the same direction, and a new star is rapidly forming.

After an unknown amount of time, the new star was successfully lit up, and the flow of time accelerated again until the star's light became less dazzling and it entered an expansion phase.

Wu Qi quickly realized what was going on.

As someone who possesses memories of his past life, he clearly knew what would happen next.

Therefore, he wanted to leave this starry sky, but he was moving very slowly, while time around him accelerated again.

Soon after, the nova died completely, its core collapsed, and its outer layers were ejected outwards.

Wu Qi breathed a slight sigh of relief; at least the supernova event hadn't occurred.

Next, new stars were constantly born and died in this starry sky, falling into a cycle.

Wu Qi, unaware of the God of Destruction's intentions, simply watched all of this quietly.

A small town within the Star Luo Empire.

Chen Ping's squad disguised themselves as an ordinary Merchant Convoy, entered the town, and rested temporarily.

According to the Spirit Hall's intelligence, Dai Weisi will pass through this area soon, and the terrain here is also very suitable for an ambush.

Chen Ping was deeply resistant to this, and consequently, he was in low spirits.

Wang Tian noticed his condition and sent one of the Soul Saint experts in his team to keep an eye on him.

Dai Weisi himself is not very strong, and he has not yet reached the Soul Saint level. Even with the addition of his Martial Soul Fusion Skill with Zhu Zhuyun, any Soul Saint in the team could kill him.

Whether Chen Ping is willing to help or not, as long as he doesn't cause trouble, the mission can be completed.

Although he was under surveillance, his personal freedom was not restricted.

During his few days of rest in the town, Chen Ping didn't sit idle. Of course, he didn't send any messages, but instead surveyed the terrain in the vicinity.

On the other side, a horse-drawn carriage was speeding towards the town.

The people inside the carriage were none other than the Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun.

Dai Mubai lacked political acumen and wasn't particularly interested in building his own image.

Dai Weisi, on the other hand, received an elite education from a young age and deeply understood the importance of personal reputation.

Not long ago, he personally went to the front line to comfort the soldiers, eat and live with them, and even personally appeared on the battlefield to fight with the soldiers of the Heaven Dou Empire.

It can be said that he has already accumulated considerable prestige in the military.

In contrast, Dai Mubai avoided a series of dangerous places and instead focused on improving his own strength.

In comparison, Dai Weisi is clearly more popular.

This time, Dai Weisi represented the Star Luo Imperial Family to negotiate with the Heaven Dou Empire.

Originally, Star Luo Emperor hadn't planned for him to show up. After all, Dai Weisi had done too much recently, while Dai Mubai had been nowhere to be seen.

If this continues, Dai Mubai will likely be completely defeated before the two even begin their match.

As the emperor, Dai Tianfeng had mastered the art of balancing to an unparalleled degree, and naturally did not want Dai Weisi to have absolute power.

Unfortunately, Dai Mubai never showed up, and the Clear Sky Sect turned a blind eye to the matter.

Under pressure from Dai Weisi's supporters in the Imperial Court, Dai Tianfeng had no choice but to send him to catch up with the delegation.

Since the delegation had set off several days earlier than them, Dai Weisi, who was behind, had no choice but to speed up to catch up, thus giving the Spirit Hall an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

Unfortunately, Dai Weisi, inside the carriage, seemed unaware that he was being watched.

"Zhu Yun, don't you think the recent changes in the situation on the mainland seem to be orchestrated by someone behind the scenes?"

Zhu Zhuyun is not a political novice, but rather Dai Weisi's capable wife, so she is naturally able to see the situation clearly.

"Weiss, this is not the case as you think. Many high-ranking officials in the Imperial Court, and even His Majesty, are aware of the unusual circumstances behind this."

"What's puzzling is why the Heaven Dou Royal Family would cooperate with the Spirit Hall? On the continent, the three major powers are evenly matched and their relationship is extremely stable."

"Xue Qinghe is no ordinary person; how could he not know that without the Star Luo Empire, he would be the next to disappear!?"

This problem is not complicated.

The fact that the Spirit Hall has not yet made a statement is a huge problem in itself. Furthermore, the Six Great Sects secretly joined the Spirit Hall were among the first to respond to the call of the Heaven Dou Empire.

No one would believe that this wasn't orchestrated by the Spirit Hall.

But who could have imagined that the Heaven Dou Royal Family had already been possessed by the Spirit Hall?

Without the aforementioned conditions, Xue Qinghe's actions would constitute treason.

However, many wiser people believe that Xue Qinghe's plan is a strategy of using one enemy to devour another. Once the Spirit Hall and the Star Luo Empire have fought to the bitter end, they will be the ones to benefit.

Judging from the current situation, the Heaven Dou Empire seems to have gained no benefit whatsoever. This complicates matters further, and no one can truly see through Xue Qinghe's intentions.

Dai Weisi's expression was grave. "If Xue Qinghe is truly that powerful, then even Zhu Yun might not be his match after I inherit the Imperial Throne."

No one wants to be the gravedigger of the empire; Dai Weisi was no exception, nor was Dai Tianfeng.

In short, Xue Qinghe has now been excessively mythologized within the Star Luo Empire.

Even the seasoned Dai Tianfeng had to admit Xue Qinghe's ruthless methods.

Zhu Zhuyun said earnestly, "Weiss, no matter what methods Dai Mubai uses against you, I will help you."

"After this matter is over, we'll go to the mainland to seek Fortuitous Opportunity to ensure our strength is no weaker than Dai Mubai's. However, once you've taken power, I hope you'll spare Zhuqing."

Dai Weisi had already planned for this. He said with a smile, "If I were to ascend the throne, the Imperial Family would definitely change the rules of succession, no longer allowing descendants of the Zhu Family to participate. Instead, whoever wins the contest will be able to choose a woman from the Zhu Family as Empress."

Before Zhu Zhuyun could answer, the carriage suddenly braked, and the two people inside were nearly thrown out.

The elderly man driving the carriage said with a grim expression, "Your Highness, the enemy has surrounded us."

Dai Weisi dared not be careless.

His supporters warned him repeatedly of the perilous journey ahead when he requested to be sent as an envoy to the Heaven Dou Empire.

Unexpectedly, they were attacked before even leaving the territory of the Star Luo Empire.

The Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun got out of the car and stood back-to-back with the elderly driver, their eyes warily scanning their surroundings.
