After planning the next step, everyone separated to fulfill their task. Wang Wei chose the Bloodline Gang as his target, and he dealt with them relatively quickly. He lured their leader — a somewhat rare Snow-Thunder Leopard — who was a second-tier Earth Primarch, meaning he was on par with an Empyrean but did not have a Heaven Will.
Wang Wei created a secret realm and left his bloodline inside before luring one of the Bloodline Gang members to find it. The poor lad hurried to notify the upper echelon of the gang, and this secret news soon reached the Snow-Thunder Leopard, who quickly rushed over.
Once that happened, defeating him and taking control of his gang was relatively easy. Wang Wei returned to their base, where two of the other groups were already waiting.
"So, he's the leader of the Grandmist Gang," Wang Wei commented as he looked at this man that could be described as beautiful due to his many feminine features.
"Was there any problem?" he asked. He sent Mongke to deal with this person as the Grandmist Gang Lord because the latter hated Empyreans, Dao Rulers, or any cultivators capable of creating lives.
"He granted me an audience, but after knowing why I came, he immediately turned hostile," Mongke replied. Wang Wei nodded as such a response was expected.
"What's your name?" Wang Wei asked. However, the Grandmist Gang Lord just stared at him.
"Zou Bo? A good name," Wang Wei nodded. "You're a weird man. You have such a strong hatred for us [Creators], but you also secretly wished to find one worthy enough to serve, to dedicate your life. I guess it's not so weird since your master treated you so nicely; you probably wanted to relieve that time which was dear to you."
"Shut up. Don't act like you know me," Zou Bo yelled.
"But I do."
"I would rather die than serve you," Zou Bo said with gritted teeth.
"That's fine by me," Wang Wei replied casually. "You're not as valuable as you think, especially after I extract your memory on how you survived an Empyrean Tier Creation Tribulation.
"However, do note that if you kill yourself, I will have the Bloodline Gang Leader desacred your body and soul by letting him eat you and all your people."
"You monster," Zou Bo said with gritted teeth. If there is one person he hated more than those Empyreans who played with life as if it meant nothing, it was that racist bastard. He would rather be subservient to someone else than let that leopard win over him.
"Let's make a deal," Zou Bo said. "Let me kill that leopard, and my life is yours."
"As I said — you're not that valuable," Wang Wei replied casually.
"What you're saying is if I'm way more valuable than him, you'll allow it to happen?"
"Interesting," Wang Wei muttered as he held his chin. "I'm open to your bargain. But how will you prove your worth?"
"By becoming an Everlasting Empyrean," Zou Bo said with gritted teeth.
"Oh? That's right. If you become one of my creatures, I can allow you to retake the Creation Tribulation to become an Everlasting Empyrean. But, can you survive the tribulation? Unlike my original creations, you'll be truly dead once you fail."
"I'll survive," Zou Bo declared with gritted teeth. He knew such tribulation would be, at minimum, ten times harder than a Creation Tribulation for a regular Grandmist Life trying to become an Everlasting, but he did not care; he would put his life on the line to kill that leopard.
"Well, I look forward to the result," Wang Wei commented.
'Did you see how he used this man's desire to control him? It seems I have much to learn in the Ways of the Human Heart,' Mongke said to his wife.
'Yes, you can learn much from observing him.' Once this era ends, it might be difficult for the Barbarian Race to maintain their neutrality, given their participation in ending the parasites. By then, Mongke will have to deal with many of these elders who are set in their ways, so having leadership and diplomatic skills like Wang Wei will be crucial for him to navigate the situation — especially before he becomes a Primal Paragon and has absolute power in the clan.
Wang Wei turned his focus on the two people from the Crazy Thief Gang that Dulgun, Ghost, and Puppet Demon brought. "Who is their leader?"
"These are the Vice-Gang Leaders," Dulgun explained. "As for their leader, well, he disappeared."
"What a strong faith you have in your leader," Wang Wei commented. free𝑤ebnovel.com
