Seize the Opportunity

"Protect the Young Pavilion Master!"

The moment several disciples from The Heavenly Mystery Pavilion appeared, they saw Lin Yuan sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, seemingly healing injuries.

They rushed forward to surround him, forming a protective circle around Lin Yuan.

"How laughable, a group of ants daring to act presumptuously before this old one?"

Shadow Elder scoffed, glancing dismissively at the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion disciples.

Ugh!

Puh!

With just that single glance, several Heavenly Mystery Pavilion disciples coughed up blood and were severely injured. The disciples were horrified; the old man's strength far exceeded their expectations. Despite this, not a single one of them retreated, continuing to shield Lin Yuan.

"Senior brothers…" Although Lin Yuan was deep in comprehension, he was fully aware of everything happening around him. Seeing his fellow disciples seriously injured to protect him, he was deeply moved.

Since Cloudwater Sect expelled him, he hadn't felt this kind of camaraderie in a long time! He secretly vowed: I must become stronger! I cannot fail their expectations!

"Yuan'er, leave now!" At that moment, Xuanji Zi's urgent voice echoed in Lin Yuan's mind.

Just a moment ago, the remnant soul of the secret realm's owner had quietly set up a random teleportation array while everyone was distracted. This remnant soul had prepared these contingency plans in advance to deal with unforeseen circumstances, as Lin Yuan had not yet matured.

"Master, can you take my senior brothers with us?" Lin Yuan looked with some reluctance at the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion disciples standing in front of him.

"No, this teleportation array can barely manage to take you alone, otherwise none of us will be able to leave! Hurry, there's no time left!" Xuanji Zi urged anxiously.

"Senior brothers, I'm sorry. One day, I, Lin Yuan, will definitely avenge you!" Lin Yuan struggled internally for a moment, finally gritting his teeth, taking one last deep look at the composed Su Mucheng in the distance, his eyes filled with deep hatred, and then nodding.

Su Mucheng suddenly felt something and turned to look. He saw Lin Yuan's figure beginning to fade and become illusory.

"Trying to escape? Did you ask me?" Shadow Elder snorted and was about to take action to stop him, but Su Mucheng stopped him!

"Seize the inheritance first. As for Lin Yuan, let him go!"

Su Mucheng secretly transmitted his voice to Shadow Elder, who naturally wouldn't disobey Su Mucheng's orders. So he kept his eyes fixed on the remnant soul in the void. Su Mucheng was letting Lin Yuan go intentionally, planning to use him as a "treasure-seeking mouse" so he could continue to obtain opportunities from him.

"Carry forward my legacy!"

Just as Lin Yuan's figure was about to disappear, the remnant soul suddenly acted, and a ball of white light instantly appeared behind Lin Yuan.

However, at that moment, a large hand appeared out of nowhere and instantly grabbed the ball of light!

"No!" Lin Yuan roared in unwillingness. The opportunity he had worked so hard for had fallen into Su Mucheng's hands!

But at this moment, he was powerless. The next moment, the light flashed, and Lin Yuan's figure vanished from sight.

"I can tell that your identity is extraordinary. I'm curious, even if you obtain my inheritance, you probably won't cultivate it. Why did you still seize it?" The remnant soul looked at Su Mucheng, puzzled. His only chance to form a good relationship with a Son of Destiny had been wasted in vain!

Su Mucheng smiled slightly and did not answer. He really didn't care for this inheritance, but unfortunately, he had accepted a system mission. Moreover, preventing Lin Yuan from becoming stronger was also very beneficial to him.

The remnant soul didn't mind Su Mucheng's silence. Instead, it laughed heartily and raised its hand, pressing down. Instantly, the entire secret realm began to shake violently. "Since that's the case, then I can only help him with one last small favor!"

"Not good!" Shadow Elder's pupils shrank suddenly. This remnant soul was planning to directly destroy the secret realm! A clever move indeed!

It both delayed Su Mucheng's time in chasing down Lin Yuan and eliminated these Heavenly Mystery Pavilion disciples, reducing a lot of trouble for Lin Yuan.

After all, Lin Yuan abandoning the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion disciples was an undeniable fact. Although there were extenuating circumstances, spreading this information would ultimately affect his reputation.

Su Mucheng took a deep look at the remnant soul, raised his hand, and gently squeezed forward. The soul body, which was already dim, instantly dissipated into nothingness, leaving no trace behind.

"Humph!" Shadow Elder didn't expect to be outmaneuvered by a mere Profound Connection Realm remnant soul, and immediately let out a cold snort.

Far away in the Central Region, a man suddenly opened his eyes.

"Someone discovered the secret realm I left behind?" Then, the man took out an ancient tortoise shell and chanted an incantation.

After a moment, the man's eyes widened suddenly. "This… impossible!"

The man seemed to have seen something shocking and didn't recover for a long while.

"No, I have to go there myself!" After the man finished speaking, his figure disappeared from the courtyard.

"Congratulations, Host, for successfully seizing the opportunity of a Son of Destiny. The Son of Destiny's luck is reduced by 500, and the Host's luck value is increased by 1000!"

Hearing the system's notification, a smile appeared on the corner of Su Mucheng's mouth. This trip was still somewhat rewarding and not a complete waste.

At the same time, Su Mucheng also roughly understood the system's logic: as long as he prevented the Son of Destiny from becoming stronger or seized something that originally belonged to the Son of Destiny, he could obtain luck value!

"Young Master, should this old servant continue to track them?"

Shadow Elder's voice rang in Su Mucheng's ear. Su Mucheng pondered slightly, then shook his head. He had intentionally let Lin Yuan go in the first place, so there was no need to chase him.

However, this time, Lin Yuan didn't obtain the opportunity and will return to Heavenly Mystery Pavilion. It is estimated that he can only cultivate the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion's techniques!

But after all, he is a Son of Destiny. Even if he cultivates the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion's techniques, he will definitely be able to unleash extraordinary power.

A Son of Destiny cannot be viewed through the eyes of an ordinary person.

Now, it's time for me to do something!

Su Mucheng looked at the secret realm that had been reduced to ruins, and then soared into the air, disappearing from the spot.

Soon, Su Mucheng returned to Cloudwater Sect. In any case, Cloudwater Sect was his first foothold in the lower realm.

However, when he returned to Cloudwater Sect, he saw an unexpected scene: a group of disciples wearing different sect attire had surrounded the Cloudwater Sect's mountain gate.

"What's going on?" Su Mucheng vaguely sensed something was wrong.

Then, he flew to the side and captured a lone disciple.

"Tell me, what's happening here?"

Su Mucheng's face was stern as he grabbed the disciple's neck, gradually increasing the pressure in his hand.

The disciple's face turned red, his eyes filled with fear, and he desperately grabbed Su Mucheng's wrist with both hands, begging in a trembling voice: "Don't… don't kill me! I'll tell you, I'll tell you! It's The Heavenly Mystery Pavilion… The Heavenly Mystery Pavilion issued a reward! Anyone who kills a Cloudwater Sect disciple will be rewarded with ten spirit stones. Inner disciples will be rewarded with a Mysterious-grade technique, and elders will be rewarded with an Earth-grade technique! I… I'm just acting under orders, please spare me!"

Hearing this, Su Mucheng was stunned. He couldn't figure out what The Heavenly Mystery Pavilion was thinking. Knowing that Cloudwater Sect had the protection of a Holy Sect from the Central Region, why would they resort to this?

Su Mucheng sneered, and the pressure in his hand increased rather than decreased. "Is that all? Why did The Heavenly Mystery Pavilion suddenly attack Cloudwater Sect? Explain clearly!"

The disciple was almost out of breath, saying intermittently: "I… I heard that a mysterious expert came to The Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, and even the Pavilion Master treated him with respect! He ordered the attack on Cloudwater Sect! The others… I really don't know!"

A mysterious expert actually appeared at The Heavenly Mystery Pavilion? This was probably also due to Lin Yuan's efforts, after all, Lin Yuan had practiced in Cloudwater Sect before, and his beloved was given to me by Cloudwater Sect.

"Interesting. Who gave The Heavenly Mystery Pavilion such courage?"

Su Mucheng thought for a long time but couldn't figure it out, so he simply stopped thinking about it and instead exerted force on his palm. With a "crack," the disciple's neck snapped. He casually threw the corpse into the nearby forest, ensuring that no one noticed, and then transformed into a long rainbow, heading straight for Cloudwater Sect.

"Hmph, even now, are you still not surrendering!"

At this moment, several elders of Cloudwater Sect stood in a disheveled state inside the main hall, while the sect masters and elders of other sects sat on chairs on both sides.

On the seat that originally belonged to the Cloudwater Sect's master, a young man was sitting.

"Today, either submit or die!"

The young man sitting in the first seat slowly opened his eyes, and instantly, a powerful pressure enveloped the entire hall, causing the faces of the Cloudwater Sect's elders to change drastically.

"Since you are so stubborn, then Cloudwater Sect has no need to exist!"

The young man raised his hand, and instantly, everyone felt as if a mountain was pressing down on them.

In a daze, Liu Ruyan's father seemed to have returned to the scene when Su Mucheng suppressed Lin Yuan, which was so similar to the current situation! Only, the people being suppressed now were themselves.

"Is heaven going to destroy my Cloudwater Sect!"

The Cloudwater Sect master's face was pale. The man sitting in the seat of honor was so powerful that he felt despair.

"If Young Master Mucheng was still here, that would be great!"

Liu Ruyan's father sighed, not knowing where Su Mucheng had gone. Perhaps only he could save Cloudwater Sect!

"Who do you think you are? Turns out you're playing tricks here!"

Just as the people of Cloudwater Sect were in despair, a familiar voice suddenly came, and immediately afterward, the pressure on the bodies of the people of Cloudwater Sect suddenly disappeared.

"Young Master Mucheng!"

"Young Master!"

The Cloudwater Sect members, whose hearts were hanging in the air, finally relaxed. As long as Su Mucheng was here, they would be safe!

The young man sitting in the first seat, upon seeing Su Mucheng, his pupils suddenly contracted.

"How could he be here!" Seeing Su Mucheng, the man's face was somewhat unsightly.

"Oh? Zhao Yi? Why aren't you cultivating properly in your ClearWind Sect and running around everywhere? Be careful, or you won't be able to return to your sect!"

Su Mucheng looked at Zhao Yi sitting in the first seat. In the Central Region, besides the Holy Sect, there were many powerful sects, one of which was the ClearWind Sect.

And this Zhao Yi was the Young Sect Master of the ClearWind Sect, but he was often suppressed by Su Mucheng in the Central Region. He didn't expect that this guy had also descended to the lower realm and was standing on the opposite side of himself.

"You! Su Mucheng! Don't think that I, Zhao Yi, am afraid of you!"

"Hehe, whether you're afraid or not isn't something you can say!"

Su Mucheng chuckled and then scanned the hall.

"Do you think Cloudwater Sect is easy to bully, or do you think I can't protect them?"

As Su Mucheng's words fell, the hall instantly fell silent.
