Time flows by like water.
It has been some time since Ye Shu left the Nine Nether Relics.
Every young prodigy in the Central Province had met their downfall within those relics. Except for the disciples of certain factions who did not participate in the siege, every last one of the others was killed to the bone, directly causing a severe generational gap among the younger members of the major powers.
The older generation had no choice but to select new disciples from the lower ranks once more.
Fortunately, the Xuantian Continent lacked many things, but never people. In an environment where achieving immortality was nearly impossible, the gap in talent was not so pronounced after all.
Even the swiftest runner ends as nothing but a handful of dust.
But after that battle, Ye Shu's reputation was thoroughly cemented, and he entered the public eye.
Everyone knew—that man had returned.
In an instant, the factions that had once besieged the Qingxuan Sect were thrown into panic. They dispatched their most elite intelligence agents, attempting to track down Ye Shu's whereabouts so they could eliminate him before he recovered.
A living Half-Immortal was an even greater threat than Lin Heming!
And the news of Ye Shu's return spread far and wide across the land—the demonic path naturally caught wind of it as well.
At this very moment, in the main hall of the Demon Sect's headquarters, a long-overdue trial was taking place.
"Liu Ruyi, Holy Maiden of the Demon Sect, do you know your crime?"
The Demon Sect Leader, Mu Yunshang, held the secret report passed up from below. It clearly stated that the former Half-Immortal had appeared in Xinghuang City. Everyone in the demonic path knew that Ye Shu had once been resurrected within the Demon Sect, only to be harmed by someone and killed a second time. Now he appeared in Xinghuang City—no fool would believe their Holy Maiden had nothing to do with it!
"What crime have I committed?"
Liu Ruyi stood in the center of the hall, her back straight, her tone unyielding, showing not a shred of regret.
"The evidence is ironclad, and you still refuse to confess?"
Mu Yunshang snorted coldly, hurling the report forcefully before Liu Ruyi: "As the Holy Maiden of our Demon Sect, you secretly sheltered a righteous path cultivator, conspired to deceive the congregation, murdered our sect's outstanding disciple, and used a faked death to slip away."
"Not only did you conceal information, but the moment you learned the truth, instead of reporting it to the Demon Sect, you rushed to Xinghuang City and used your identity as Holy Maiden to protect him."
"The noble Holy Maiden of the Demon Sect, drowning in personal emotions!"
Mu Yunshang shook his head in disappointment: "You are a disgrace to the demonic path!"
The informants in the hall exchanged glances, secretly gloating while keeping their faces neutral, staring coldly at Liu Ruyi as they awaited her answer.
"Is appearing in the world a crime, then?"
"Is faking death the same as betrayal?"
Liu Ruyi showed not a hint of panic. Instead, she gave a light laugh, sweeping her gaze over the informants at the edges, her tone dripping with mockery.
"Leader, didn't they tell you?"
"Tell me what?"
Mu Yunshang frowned.
"Ye Shu did appear, but the very first thing he did after appearing was slaughter every last young prodigy from those hidden families and holy lands in the Central Province."
Liu Ruyi said flatly.
"Those old bastards of the righteous path are already losing their minds."
"What?"
Mu Yunshang was taken aback: "You mean to say, Ye Shu killed off an entire generation of the younger elites in the Central Province?"
"Exactly."
Liu Ruyi shrugged helplessly.
"As the Holy Maiden of the Demon Sect, naturally I had to go over and back him up in case some cornered madman among the righteous old-timers tried to kill him on the spot."
"But who knew—the clever man had already run off."
"Hiss—"
Mu Yunshang drew in a sharp breath, rubbing his chin.
Wiping out an entire generation of young prodigies in the Central Province—that ranked among the most notorious deeds in Demon Sect history.
In that case, not only had she not betrayed the sect…
She had even secretly infiltrated enemy territory and caught them completely off guard?
This was good news!
With that thought, Mu Yunshang burst into hearty laughter.
"Why must the Holy Maiden put on such an act? Was I not merely joking with you a moment ago?"
With that, he waved his hand grandly.
"Guards!"
"Take these slanderers of the Holy Maiden away and refine them into blood pellets, as a toast to the Holy Son's glorious deed."
"Yes!"
Voices answered from within the hall.
The onlookers and informants had no time to react before they were dragged off, and soon fell silent.
And so, a farce came to an end.
Meanwhile, at the Mo family estate.
"System! System!"
The shaken Mo Yu sat at the edge of his bed, frantically calling out to the System: "That bastard is back! Quickly pinpoint his location—I need to know exactly where he is!"
This time, he couldn't wait a single moment longer.
After leaving the relics, he had rushed straight back to the Mo family, his only thought being to lead men over and kill Ye Shu before he could fully recover.
However—
[Ding! ...I'm sorry, but that's impossible.]
"Impossible?"
Mo Yu nearly leapt off the bed, his eyes blazing with fury: "And now you're telling me you can't do it?"
"Can't you locate those children of destiny?"
"Why can't you locate him!"
[This System can only locate children of destiny based on their fortune value. But the person you're looking for possesses no fortune.]
The System's cold electronic voice sounded.
It was like looking for a needle in a pile of sand. A needle glitters, making it easy to spot—but what if the target is just a grain of sand?
Then it becomes impossible to find.
"What do I do? It's over! All over!" Mo Yu collapsed into despair upon hearing this.
[There's no need to worry, host.]
[Ye Shu is not important.]
[A chosen one who has lost his fortune can no longer be called a chosen one. He poses no threat whatsoever. Host should focus on the children of destiny instead.]
"R-really?"
Mo Yu looked up, his eyes filled with doubt.
[Rest assured, host. Fortune is the very reason one rules. Against you, who possesses boundless fortune, even a son of destiny must fall. Let alone a man without fortune.]
[Your greatness far exceeds your imagination.]
"Good… good…"
Hearing the System's reassurance, Mo Yu finally calmed down a little, his panic subsiding.
He puffed out his chest, his eyes blazing with determination.
That's right—a son of destiny is nothing. Even when fortune blessed him, he still couldn't escape death. Now that fortune was on his side, no one could say who the true chosen one was.
"I am the true destiny!"
Mo Yu clenched his fists, brimming with fighting spirit.
And at this very moment, the man who had caused all of this was lying in the little courtyard of the Mo family estate, snuggled up with his cheap wife—fast asleep.
The world moves because of me, yet I sleep in peace.
