Even though Xu Zhe could think of dozens of thoughts in one second, he couldn't hide his surprise when he heard that Wei Xun would rely on the Demon Fortress to complete his final promotion. He even frowned.
"Do you know what you are saying? You should know that what my Lord hates most is forming cliques and factions!" Xu Zhe couldn't help but raise his voice a little.
Wei Xun shook his head, took a sip of the red wine on the table, grinned and said: "Xu Zhe, no matter how smart you are, you still don't understand my Lord. That's right, my Lord hates forming cliques. He is like the sun hanging in the sky. No one can escape his reflection and attention. Therefore, no one dares to have second thoughts. My loyalty to my Lord is evident!"
"but… "
Wei Xun stretched out his voice and continued, "Compared to traitors, what my Lord hates more is useless wastes!"
"My Lord has fought countless battles in the north and south, and even dared to fight against the gods. Everything he did was naturally for strength. In this doomsday, strength is the most real achievement. If there is no achievement, no matter how loyal we are, we will be eliminated one day. How can we have the glorious life we have now?"
"Do you know how much those wolf cubs in the Blood Battle Department want to pull me down? Wang Xudong has some confidants under his command, who are considered his think tank. They even have plans to drive me out of office and take power alone!"
Xu Zhe narrowed his eyes, as if recalling something, and then said: "I remember this person, he was also a favored son of the emperor. If I remember correctly, he was promoted by you. So? Is this how you discipline your subordinates?"
Wei Xun smiled awkwardly and said, "Why, do you think I am not ruthless enough to allow the other party to become stronger and bigger?"
Xu Zhe did not speak, but just looked at Wei Xun quietly. Because of their different personalities, they did not have close contacts in the past. They even had several quarrels over some materials. But one thing that cannot be denied is that they were the ones who initially assisted Chen Feng to reach this point today. As a veteran figure, if Wei Xun was really squeezed out one day, he would inevitably feel a sense of grief for the loss of his friend.
"If I say... those who suggested Wang Xudong to rebel are all my confidants, would you believe it?"
Xu Zhe was stunned. He had already received too many surprises today. He did not expect that Wei Kai would let his confidant incite rebellion against his confidant
Wei Xun stood up. He drank a whole bottle of red wine, but there was no sign of drunkenness on his face. After reaching the legendary level, his life had undergone some qualitative changes. Not to mention low-alcohol red wine, even if alcohol was poured into his body, it would be dissipated by energy in an instant and would not affect his normal performance at all.
"A comfortable life makes people decadent. The insect world was blocked by my Lord, Silver City was destroyed, and even the giant beasts in the sea were cleared out for offending the Order. They became the escorts of ships. Now the Order seems to be in great glory and unrivaled. Even you and I are in high positions. Everyone says we are the Eight Heroes!"
"But... this is the end of the world. More terrifying enemies may appear at any time. I don't want to be destroyed in an instant by a stronger force like Silver City. I also don't want to be hated and abandoned by my Lord one day. So I need pressure. Only pressure can keep me from relaxing!"
"Is this the reason why you let Wang Xudong rebel against you?" Xu Zhe said lightly.
“That’s right!”
Wei Xun laughed loudly: "If there is no pressure, I will create it. Wang Xudong is not bad. In just one year since his awakening, he has become a legendary warrior, and his personality charm is extraordinary. To be honest, I think that boy is qualified to be the head of the Blood Battle Department, and perhaps he deserves it!"
"Now only a few people follow him, and most of them are still afraid of me and terrified of me, and dare not draw a clear line in the sand. However, Wang Xudong is a genius. If he continues like this, sooner or later he will truly defeat me. By then, in front of tens of thousands of people, I will be successfully challenged by him. What should I do?"
Wei Xun showed a hint of madness: "So I can't wait, I have dug a deep pit for myself. If I can't jump out, I will jump directly into it and bury myself alive!"
"Without pressure, there is no motivation. What I have to do is very simple, which is to rely on the pressure of the abyss to allow me to complete the final breakthrough. Only by truly advancing to the epic level can I control my own life and not be pulled down from the sky by anyone."
Xu Zhe hesitated for a few words: "Doing this, isn't the risk too high? You and I have been to places like the Abyss. In the legendary rank with a strong order, there are only some generals. If you are careless, you will be doomed and stay there forever!"
"Hahaha!"
Wei Xun laughed loudly, looked at Xu Zhe and said, "So, I, a married man, will become timid. You have a family, and even a child is about to be born, but I am different. Although I have had many women, I have never really thought about getting married and having children, because I know that you and I are pursuing different things!"
"You are pursuing a stable life, so I want to find you and ask you to help me win the final crown. Don't worry, my lord. I am not going there for power, but simply to gather the demons of the fortress to make a blood sacrifice for me and use a real battle to make me reach the epic!"
"What you want is family and children, but what I want is absolute power. I have already seen that it is impossible to survive in this world without power. Compared to your so-called family, killing is the path I will always take!"
“I will work hard for this my whole life!”
"My attitude towards order has never changed, and my attitude towards my Lord has never changed. The only thing that has changed is my heart becoming increasingly unsatisfied!" Chen Feng narrowed his eyes, and a fierce look flashed in his eyes.
Xu Zhe closed his eyes, thought for a few seconds, and then said, "I accept your proposal, but I will not let my people lose to you on purpose. Instead, I will make some predictions for you to go to the abyss in advance. As for the competition, you can just leave it to fate on the battlefield!"
Wei Xun looked at Xu Zhe and said, "You saying this is beyond my expectation. I originally imagined that you would rush out of the door after hearing that I would join forces with you, and would not give me a chance to speak."
Xu Zhe said: "People will change."
Wei Xun was startled, then nodded and said, "Yes, people will change."
"But there is one thing I will never change!"
"What won't change?" Xu Zhe was a little curious.
"I will not stop at my determination to become stronger. All my efforts now are to become stronger. I want to reach epic level, even if it means death!" Wei Xun said in a loud voice with a gloomy face!
