Chapter 1248  The Heart Desire Palace

"That is not good enough," Black Heart replied.

"Take it or leave it," Wang Wei said.

"I\'ll leave it," Empyrean Black Heart replied without hesitation. Wang Wei looked him in the eyes; he suddenly realized something.

"Why is your primary concern about your freedom but not your death?" He saw no fear of death in this man\'s face, which was odd given his situation.

"Because I know you won\'t dare kill me after learning the truth."

Wang Wei frowned. This man was telling the truth; he saw the great conviction behind these words. "I don\'t like how confidently you said these words."

Empyrean Black Heart snorted coldly.

"In that case, I\'m just going to kill you without asking. I think whatever trouble comes afterward, I can use this excuse as plausible deniability," Wang Wei said as he stood up. He pointed his right hand at Black Heart and condensed a thick black energy full of death power.

"Wait!" Back Heart yelled, immediately panicking. He realized Wang Wei was telling the truth. "We can negotiate." However, Wang Wei did not listen to him and prepared to fire the death energy.

"I\'m from the Heart Desire Palace," Black Heart yelled, making Wang Wei stop.

"Them?" Mongke suddenly commented.

"You\'ve heard of it?" Wang Wei asked.

"Once," Mongke replied. "The sect elders warned me to stay away and not antagonize these people. I tried asking more questions, but no one would elaborate, stating I would know more when I become more powerful."

Wang Wei nodded. His situation was the same as Mongke\'s. In the book, his wife left for him and warned him not to mess or deal with two factions, one of which was the Heart Desire Palace, to be precise, the Ji Family behind the palace. He remembered her waning because she said this should be the case even after becoming a peak Boundless Paragon.

"Keep talking," Wang Wei ordered.

"The Heart Desire Palace is a faction that has spread to many worlds in Primordial Chaos," Black Heart stated. "Its members track down people with intense emotions and obsessions, and we acquire their souls through making deals with them. Zhen Chao was a customer — my first customer, to be specific."

Wang Wei pondered. Strong emotions and obsessions are one of the most potent forces of the universe, even capable of breaking the rules and creating miracles. The fact that the Heart Desire Palace, or the Ji family, was amassing its power was concerning.

"How were you able to contact him?" Wang Wei asked.

"All members have a Desire Map to detect our primary customers," Black Heart responded. "After detecting he met the requirements, I just sent him the summoning ceremony. There were no restrictions or interference from True Heavenly Dao."

\'So, it just ignored him? Why?\' Wang Wei could think of a few reasons, but he did not like any of them.

"Wait. Was that a projection or your genuine body when we met in the lower dimension?"

"It was me."

"Of course," Wang Wei\'s eyes twitched. This was a blatant disregard for the rules. He took a moment to gather his thoughts, trying to find an explanation. A few seconds later, he focused on the prisoner:

"There are still a few things that do not make sense," Wang Wei continued. "If your palace is such a powerful place, why couldn\'t you have run away from Mongke? From this place? More importantly, why did Empress Wu\'s name scare you during my trial?"

"I\'ve only recently acquired my Desire Map, and it\'s the lowest level; that\'s the only reason you captured me," Black Heart swiftly explained. "As for your second question? Well, the palace\'s motto is that we do not fear trouble but do not seek it. I would be responsible if I antagonize someone like Empress Wu."

Wang Wei learned two things from Black Heart\'s explanation. The Heart Desire Palace functioned with a hierarchical system, which was probably very strict. Secondly, this man was not telling the complete truth.

"Did the Dark-Eyes Clan join the palace? Is that why they suffered no consequences despite being from the Devil Clan?"

"Do you finally understand the kind of power you\'re dealing with?" Black Heart sneered. "You can kill me, but you best consider the consequences."

"Why are you talking as if death was the worst fate someone can experience?" Wang Wei calmly rebutted. He summoned his 11 Fate Palaces and used them to place a terrifying seal that put Black Heart into a world where he would literally experience the worst fate possible.

Wang Wei and Mongke then walked out of the prison.

"What are we going to do about him? He seems to be an unstable variable?" Mongke asked.

"I want to kill him, but I must make sure there are no issues afterward," Wang Wei explained. After returning to his abode, he used a talisman to contact his ancestor.

"Oh? You\'re calling me so soon? You must want something," Yan Hai directly stated.

"Ancestor, couldn\'t I just want to chat and bathe in the glory of your presence?" Wang Wei stated without a shame.

"I\'m a busy woman, so get on with it," Yan Hai declared, resisting the urge to roll her eyes.

"I met someone from the Heart Desire Palace."

Yan Hai\'s demeanor immediately changed. "Did you kill them? And were you at fault?"

"No."

"Tell me what happens — don\'t leave any detail," she asked swiftly, something Wang Wei caught on. So, he explained the situation without leaving any important details.

"An Empyrean with a low-level map? In that case, it would have been fine if you killed him. They should give our sect this small amount of face."

"Why does your tone indicate that an Empyrean is useless to them?"

"The Ji Family values the palace\'s internal members compared to the others, and their recruitment process does not value cultivation as much as your affinity with emotions, desires, and the soul."

Wang Wei squinted: n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"So, I can kill Black Heart?"

"Yes, but I wouldn\'t recommend it," Yan Hai explained. "The palace operates in a neutral system, but they also protect their members. If you kill him, someone will come to investigate. Given Black Heart\'s low level and the fact you\'re not at fault, they won\'t cause you trouble.

"However, you know the current situation of our world. If these people intervene, even if not directly, things will become more complicated and escalate into, well, I don\'t even know."

"You have a point," Wang Wei nodded. "But I\'m confused. What makes the Heart Desire Palace —no, the Ji family — so feared that even you\'re careful when speaking about them?"

Yan Hai looked him directly in the eyes. "Kid, I know you are wise beyond your years or your realm, but there is such a thing as too much on your plate. You have plenty to do now, so don\'t add unnecessary stress to yourself.

"All you need to know is stay away from these people, don\'t antagonize them if you have to deal with them, and no matter what, don\'t make any contracts with them. Understand?"

Wang Wei could tell she would not say more. "I understand."

"Good," Yan Hai nodded. "You should be preparing to meet my future daughter-in-law at Xun Junyao\'s celebration. Do you need any advice on how to proceed?\'

\'As if I would seek advice from someone who\'s been eternally celibate,\' Wang Wei thought to himself. Yan Hai\'s eyes suddenly turned fierce.

"You just thought something offensive, didn\'t you? Boy, don\'t you know my sword can reach you instantly with a thought?"

"Ancestor, don\'t sully my character," Wang Wei swiftly said. "I was thinking of what appropriate advice to ask."

Yan Hai snorted coldly. "You\'ve ruined the moment. Anyway, you better not mess things with her. I have plans to lord over my seniority over her for eternity. I\'ll never forgive you if you ruin this for me."

"I promise I won\'t."

"You better not." Yan Hai ended the communication, leaving Wang Wei alone to smile wryly. "Is this marriage for me or you?" he complained. He sighed before focusing on the present. He did not need to worry too much about the Heart Desire Palace since he wouldn\'t contact them until he traveled through Primordial Chaos.

\'However, this incident reminded me of something I\'ve overlooked — foreign forces,\' Wang Wei thought. \'The parasites are holding the frontline, but what if someone breaks through or they give up protecting the world? What will happen?\' He took this moment to deduce the future.

\'In the best case scenario, Maitreya and Supreme Unity will stop their fighting and stop the invaders. Then, they would continue their fights.

\'The worst case scenario is they stop the invasion and return to overlook the situation. I would rather not deal with a present Supreme Unity — even with Maitreya\'s protection.

\'The middle scenario is they keep fighting and allow these foreigners to interfere in the world\'s current affairs. The situation is also wrong since my priority will not be these weak parasites but some of the most mighty Paragons from Primordial Chaos.\'
