Villain: Destiny Transfer System

After ten days of seclusion in his cultivation, Wang Chen was abruptly awakened by Li Mei's urgent voice. "Master Wang, it's time for the gathering," she announced, opening the door to his chamber.

Wang Chen, still groggy from his meditation, questioned, "What gathering?"

"You have been cultivating, so I didn't disturb you. But now, all inner, true disciple, and core disciples are summoned to the task hall platform. There is an important announcement," Li Mei quickly explained.

"Oops! I'm late, I have to hurry or I won't be able to see the opportunities," Wang Chen hastily stood up, realizing he was running late for the gathering.

"What opportunities?" Li Mei became confused hearing what Wang Chen said.

"Nothing, just focus on cultivating diligently until I come back," Wang Chen replied, handing her a small storage bag.

"Thank you, Master," Li Mei said gratefully, recalling the numerous resources Wang Chen had provided her in the past few days, which even an inner disciple would struggle to obtain.

"Why does he look fine, and why is there no report from Xue Feng?" Yue Jang said as he arrived at the platform and saw Su Chen in good health.

He had assumed that Su Chen wouldn't come if he was injured or suffered a backlash from taking the Distraction Heart Powder. Nevertheless, he was proven wrong and he couldn't help but feel surprised by Su Chen's appearance.

'No, he didn't take the Distraction Heart Powder,' Yideng said.

"But Xue Feng reported that he successfully completed the mission," Yue Jang responded.

"If he had taken the Distraction Heart Powder, I'm pretty sure no one in the Wu Jang Kingdom could have saved him. Xue Feng didn't come to report to you again after his first report," Yideng explained confidently as he was sure about the poison.

"Hmm," Yue Jang nodded in understanding. He knew that Yideng's knowledge and expertise were unparalleled and he didn't doubt his master's capabilities.

"Why are you nodding your head?" Su Chen asked.

Su Chen was aware of Yue Jang's arrival and observed his actions. He had been informed about their upcoming plan by Wang Chen and was discreetly preparing for it.

Yue Jang said coldly, "It's not your concern."

Su Chen replied, "If it was before, it wouldn't have been my concern, but after you sent me a healing pill when I was injured, even if you were an opposing faction leader, it was so touching. I didn't know you would care about me so much."

Yue Jang's expression changed as he realized what had happened.

As Yue Jang looked at Su Chen standing in front of him, he realized that Su Chen must have already discovered Xue Feng's betrayal. 'So, he already knows about Xue Feng's betrayal, and I didn't see or hear anything from Xue Feng. Seems like Su Chen has already finished him,' he thought to himself.

As Wang Chen spotted Su Chen standing in front of Yue Jang, he exclaimed, "Ah, there you are, Brother Su!" His mind couldn't help but think, 'Excellent, I was hoping to run into you.' He then cast a quick glance at Yue Jang.

Su Chen greeted Wang Chen with a friendly smile and a reassuring pat on the shoulder. "Good to see you, brother Wang," he replied.

Yue Jang raised an eyebrow in surprise as he observed the close behavior between Su Chen and Wang Chen.

"Hmm?"

When he scanned Wang Chen, his surprise deepened.

'His cultivation is already at the 6th stage Enlightenment Realm?' Yue Jang became surprised by the sudden rise in Wang Chen's cultivation.

The last time they met, Wang Chen's cultivation was only at the 1st stage of the Enlightenment Realm.

'Something's amiss with this boy,' Yideng expressed his concern,Through their telepathic communication.

"Didn't you say the same thing last time?" Yue Jang replied with a hint of annoyance.

'No, this time it's different. I can only sense a glimpse, but I am pretty sure that his Qi is denser and higher compared to a normal 6th stage Enlightenment Realm,' Yideng explained as he tried to scan Wang Chen. Yet, he could only confirm that Wang Chen's cultivation was indeed at the 6th stage, but his Qi seemed abnormal, surpassing what was expected at his level.

Yue Jang pondered, "I'll direct my followers to eliminate him in that location later on. Even if Su Chen discovers my involvement, he won't be able to act against me since other sect disciples will be present, and I can shift the blame onto them."

He knew that he couldn't easily kill an opposing faction member within the sect.

Su Chen had eliminated Xue Feng, a member of his faction who had not publicly pledged allegiance to Yue Jang's faction. If Xue Feng had joined Yue Jang's faction, Su Chen wouldn't have dared to take such a step, as it could have sparked conflicts within the sect. Such a move could have ended up benefiting the opposing faction.

"Listen up, all of you!" The Guardian Elder called out, his voice booming across the crowded hall as he stood on the stage, trying to attract everyone's attention. "You have all been gathered here because there is something important to announce."

"As you all know, our sect has been selected to participate in a secret realm adventure. However, we are not the only ones participating. The top three sects in the Wukang Kingdom will also be joining us," the elder explained.

"During this adventure, your mission is to collect as many beast cores as possible. The top 100 disciples who collect the most beast cores will get a chance to participate in a battle. From that competition, the top 20 will be selected by the elders coming from different top sects in the Canglian Dynasty and admitted as disciples in those top sects," he continued.

"So, make sure you work hard and collect as many beast cores as possible. This is an opportunity that only comes once in a lifetime. The fate of our sect is in your hands. Good luck to all of you," the elder finished, his words echoing throughout the hall.
