1022 Two Major Events

Wang Wei walked into the throne room where Ao Shen was waiting. His face was still pale but better than the last time they saw each other.

Wang Wei slowly sat down:

"What happened to make you in such a hurry?"

"My people did something egregious, and I wanted to apologize," replied Ao Shen before cupping his hand and bowing deeply. Wang Wei looked in the distance and uttered, "I see."

"Where is the kid?"

Ao Shen waved his hand, and the captured Wang Clan members appeared in the middle of the room. The young man looked at Ao Shen with eyes that wished to spew fire before bowing to Wang Wei;

"Patriarch."

"What's your name?"

"The little one is Wang Shirong."

"Shirong? Scholar of Honor? That's an excellent name."

"Thank you, patriarch, for the compliment,"

replied Wang Shirong trying to control his emotions. Every Wang Clan member knew of the legendary tale and accomplishments of the patriarch. There is even debate on who is a better patriarch and Emperor-the Ancestor, Qiyuan, or the current Heavenly Emperor.

To Shirong, there is no debate that the Heavenly Emperor is better. However, people in the clan are so used to blindly worshiping the Ancestor that this pointless conversation keeps going on.

He knew how many bragging rights he would have after returning to the clan and telling these people he met the patriarch, and the latter praised his name.

"How is your injury?" asked Wang Wei. Trace back the roots of this material to n0v$lbin

"Nothing serious." The scratches on his body had already healed, so there were no injuries, but he could not readily admit that.

"Why didn't you use the clan's name to save yourself?"

The Wang Clan has started to send their members to different worlds as a form of training and tempering; these people won't receive a Dao Protector and must rely on them. However, they are thought to use the clan's name and power in case of emergency. The only negative effect of doing so is receiving a lower evaluation unless the situation is truly unavoidable.

"I wanted to, but these demons did not give me an opportunity," he replied with gritted teeth.

"Luckily, you're alright," nodded Wang Wei before glancing at Ao Shen. "You only need to compensate the kid, and the situation will be resolved."

"Don't know exactly."

"Even you can't divine it?"

"I only know it's around this time, and there is a chance for failure."

"I see. In that case, let's take a small break. I have stayed in this place for too long." He changed his appearance before going on a small food tour around the world while taking in the changes in the world.

This lasted for a month, and three days after he returned to the court, while he was sculpting Wu Hong's beautiful face with clay, the space in the distance twisted, and someone fell out. He instinctively appeared and caught the body.

"Tong Ruobing?" She had passed out, her body full of injuries, and a weird black aura was intertwined with her.

"Be careful. That aura is very corruptive," warned the clone as he appeared. With a wave of his hand, he encased the body in a white protective shield that resembled a bubble.

"Her [Existence] has been injured, just like me," commented Wang Wei as he noticed the difference.

"Indeed," nodded the clone as he proceeded to heal her. He first sealed the dark aura before removing it. He felt an intense resistance and had no choice but to activate his full power before succeeding.

"Here." He handed the sealed aura to the main body before healing her. A few minutes later, Tong Ruobing's pale face opened her eyes.

"Where am I?" She took a moment to notice her surroundings, "So, I successfully escaped?"

"Indeed," nodded Wang Wei. "So, what happened?"

Tong Ruobing opened her mouth before closing it; her brow furrowed deeply.

"What is it?"

"My memory...it's fuzzy."

"You didn't see anything?"

"No, I know I saw something. But it's like someone has altered my perception of the events." A look of horror flashed in her eyes: who could do such a thing to an Eternal Emperor of her caliber?

Wang Wei was deep in thought. Such information was actually useful. "What exactly do you remember? Don't leave anything behind."

Tong Ruobing's mind was still fuzzy, so she took a moment to organize her thoughts: "I first gathered information about the Abyss Gap from the Commerce Hub. Most of the information was basically useless, focusing on the Great Emperors who died trying to explore it. One piece was useful, though- a few individuals corroded by the same aura from the gap have been found in a few Heaven Will Worlds."

Wang Wei squinted his eyes because he had a similar encounter with a small sect on the Eastern Continent.

"After that," continued Tong Ruobing. "I headed to my destination and immediately used your talisman." She paused before giving him a look.

Had she not experienced the Dream World and his true power, she would have been enamored with that talisman.

"Don't look at me like that. I could not give you the power I had in the Dream World because it was temporary, not my own," admitted Wang Wei frankly.

"I understand," said Tong Ruobing softly before continuing: "It took me a while to bypass the seals without affecting them. But, immediately afterward, I...."
