"That was scary," muttered Wang Wei, thinking how close he was to dying. He cursed Heavenly Dao for involving an Empyrean's Projection in this trial; that was too foul.
Luckily, his wife's reputation has some weight in the upper dimension, and he acted swiftly. From Jian Wushuang and Lin Fan's trial, he knew the consequences of hesitation.
If not for these factors, who knew what would happen?
Of course, Wang Wei had to admit his luck also played a role. After seeing Black Heart hiding his face or identity, he instantly concluded that he might be a very cautious individual who values his safety and life above everything else.
So, he took the gamble to use his background to scare him and even hint to Black Heart he was dealing with things beyond his capability, things that only big wigs like his Ancestor and Empress Wu could get involved in.
