"Lu Zun, as you've seen, if we hadn't expelled your son from the sect, how would our sect have received such blessings today?" Fang Jin said, "Otherwise, forget about these blessings—our sect might have been suppressed to unimaginable depths."
"You..."
Lu Zun clenched his fists tightly, hanging his head in silence.
"Ah!"
Seeing this, Fang Jin came over and patted Lu Zun's shoulder. "There's no other way. It's all for the sect's benefit, so I'm afraid we'll have to trouble you further."
"What do you mean?"
Lu Zun raised his head.
"Since the Continent Lord has favored us by entrusting the crystal mines to our Great Transformation Sect, we should do even better," Fang Jin said, looking up. "So, I'm afraid I must ask you to leave the Great Transformation Sect as well!"
"You..."
Lu Zun's eyes immediately turned red.
"I, Lu Zun, have been with the Great Transformation Sect since childhood, contributing countless merits. Not only did I lose a son, but I've also suffered eight severe injuries and countless minor ones for the sect, leaving me with chronic ailments."
"Even my son Chong's foundation problems were caused by injuries sustained while carrying out sect missions in his early years."
"You could say our entire family has given our lives to the Great Transformation Sect, yet we never imagined we'd end up like this."
"I have nothing more to say."
Lu Zun removed the Great Transformation Sect's emblem from his clothes and walked out of the hall, his figure dejected.
"Hahaha..."
Behind him came mocking laughter and excitement about the invitation from the Continent Lord's mansion.
Not a single person spared a sympathetic glance for this old man who had given everything to the Great Transformation Sect.
After Fang Jin and the others made their preparations,
Led by Fang Jin, a group of elders changed into formal new clothes and set off for the Xining Immortal Continent with beaming faces.
Fang Jin's group moved so quickly through the air their feet could have sparked fire, and finally, after a day, they arrived outside the Xining Immortal Continent Palace.
As the saying goes, joy makes one's spirit soar.
Fang Jin's face was glowing with happiness.
He led the group of elders, all wearing bright smiles, toward the Xining Immortal Continent Palace.
Several dedicated reception staff politely led them into the guest hall.
"Please wait a moment, I'll notify the Continent Lord right away."
"Very good, very good!"
Fang Jin responded politely, and after the staff left, he couldn't help but sit down in the grand chair, patting it while saying joyfully, "Look, look! This is truly the Continent Lord's palace—even the wood of these chairs is extraordinary."
"Indeed, our Great Transformation Sect has finally reached its peak."
"When has the Continent Lord's palace ever been so courteous to any sect?"
"Exactly! It seems the Continent Lord is truly a man of character who appreciates those who know how to adapt."
"Haha..."
The elders discussed enthusiastically.
"Eh!"
Just then, one of the elders, looking through the main door, seemed to notice something and couldn't help but exclaim softly.
"What's wrong?"
Fang Jin and the others asked.
"That person squatting on the ground, doesn't he look like Lu Chong?"
The elder rubbed his eyes and couldn't help asking.
Hearing this,
Everyone couldn't help but look over, and they were immediately shocked.
"It really does look like Lu Chong!"
"How could he be here? Shouldn't he be on Dark Shadow Island?"
"Indeed, this is the Continent Lord's palace—how could he be here!"
Everyone wore expressions of disbelief.
"Let's go take a look. Maybe the Heavenly Immortal Palace caught the wrong person, letting the real culprit roam free," one of the elders couldn't help saying.
"Maybe we shouldn't. After all, he's inside the Continent Lord's palace. What if he's a guest of the Continent Lord?" another elder asked.
"What are you thinking?"
"How could a worthless person like Lu Chong be a guest of the Continent Lord?" that elder said disdainfully. "Besides, look at him squatting there cleaning waste buckets—at most he's just doing menial work at the Continent Lord's palace."
"But this still doesn't make sense. Lu Chong should be imprisoned on Dark Shadow Island, so how did he end up here doing menial work?"
"That's exactly what makes this suspicious," that elder said. "I'm beginning to suspect that Lu Chong and his father might have found someone to take their place to avoid Dark Shadow Island."
"This is outrageous!"
"This would be deceiving the Continent Lord's palace and the Heavenly Immortal Palace."
"Indeed, if this turns out to be true, our Great Transformation Sect will surely be implicated."
Everyone became angry.
"Let's go check it out."
Fang Jin organized his thoughts and agreed with that elder's words.
Otherwise, there was no way to explain why Lu Chong would appear here.
If things were really as they suspected, he would have to take action—he couldn't let Lu Chong ruin their chances at the crystal mine rights.
The group advanced menacingly toward Lu Chong.

ap a wealthy young lady? Or else I'll be eliminated by the system?

However, after some time, he discovered that all the girls the system ordered him to kidnap were far from ordinary.

young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."

agon king storylines. At the start, I obtained the "Ultimate Lackey System" - the more I act as a lackey, the stronger I become. What else could I do? I chose to become the personal henchman of the ultimate villain, Su Muwan. I provoke all sorts of chosen ones, snatch away their opportunities, and commit every evil deed imaginable. You ask who's behind me? Hmph! You're not worthy of knowing my lady's name! ...... ....... I am Su Muwan, the eldest daughter of the Su family. Since childhood, I've possessed extraordinary talent in martial arts, which led to my arrogant and domineering personality in my past life. I was even foolish enough to repeatedly challenge those favored by heaven, ultimately resulting in a tragic death. In this life, I must behave and absolutely cannot walk the same path again!! However... SLAP!! "So you're the Dragon King, huh?!" When I saw my little lackey swagger over and viciously slap the Dragon King who was hiding his identity, I felt my heart sink. Su Muwan's suspended heart finally died as she watched Qin Luo, her utterly loyal lackey, standing before her. She fainted on the spot from shock. Heaven is determined to destroy me!! (Pure love 1v1, light-hearted, no angst, single female lead, villain, reincarnation, lackey)

with countless casualties. As a top-tier gamer, Liu Xuan volunteered to join the fight, intending to dominate with his skills, but instead he obtained the hidden class: [Pacifist]. Unable to attack.
