A wonderful program; I look up and gaze at the bright moon.

I knew this Child of Destiny wouldn't be able to sit still.

However, that Child of Destiny isn't stupid either; he actually left behind the person he had controlled to gather information earlier.

It seems everyone likes loyal people.

But this is even better.

I can use this to set up a scheme.

After several people were controlled,

they awaited Chu Xinghe's arrangements.

Waiting until dawn,

only then did Chu Xinghe have them send a voice transmission to Baili Junxian.

"Clan Chief, everyone outside is currently searching for Wen Rushui's traces; no one is watching us."

After Baili Junxian received the message,

he didn't rush into action.

Instead, he waited until a second and third person sent voice transmissions.

Only then did he feel at ease.

He was going to the Linglong Pavilion to find Linglong Yunyou.

To see what exactly was going on.

Before coming out, he arranged for someone he trusted.

This person defended him at every turn.

Someone who looked out for his interests.

Someone he had also personally trained.

Of course, it was also the same person who had gone out to gather information at the beginning.

Except he hadn't noticed that the person was being controlled by Chu Xinghe.

"I'm going out to handle something and will return as soon as possible. Guard the Family well."

This person suddenly knelt on the ground.

"Rest assured, Clan Chief. I will definitely guard the Baili Family. If anything happens to the Baili Family, you can have my head."

Baili Junxian patted the person's shoulder.

"This item can control the Family's grand array. There must be no problems."

Baili Junxian handed it to him and then vanished.

The controlled person watched Baili Junxian leave.

He returned to the Martial Arts Arena.

He began directing the Family members to Cultivate.

"Even without Spiritual Qi, you can still temper your bodies. Everyone, start training!"

"Anyone who doesn't train will be expelled from the Baili Family."

"The Baili Family is currently at a moment of life and death. I will kill anyone who dares to hold us back."

Hearing this, the people of the Baili Family began to move sluggishly.

Without resources, where would the motivation to Cultivate come from?

Not to mention they were now being labeled as accomplices of the Heaven-Devouring Demonic Body.

Their lingering hopes finally died out.

"We can't even get enough to eat, what's the point of training? I don't know what the Clan Chief is thinking."

"Exactly, might as well save some energy and wait for death."

Pa! Pa!

Two gusts of strong wind appeared.

Two people screamed and were sent flying backward.

"I will kill anyone who dares to speak ill of the Clan Chief."

"Don't forget, your current strength was raised through the Clan Chief's painstaking efforts. To bite the hand that feeds you... rather than waiting for you to regret it in the future, I might as well kill you now."

The two who had spoken earlier lay on the ground, covering their mouths and bowing their heads, not daring to speak further.

The others also lowered their heads.

"What the hell are you all looking at the ground for? Are there words on it? Train! Move it!"

After speaking, he even walked down to point out and correct any mistakes in the Baili Family members' training.

Baili Junxian, hiding in the shadows, saw this and finally felt relieved.

This could be considered a test for the fellow.

He hadn't expected him to be so loyal.

He could spend more resources on him in the future.

With this fellow around, the Baili Family was temporarily safe.

Thinking this, Baili Junxian vanished.

Time was tight and could not be wasted.

By the time those people regained their senses,

it would be the end of his Baili Family.

However, as he left,

the eyes of the person he trusted flickered.

About half an hour later.

"Everyone, take a break."

"This is Spiritual Water I brewed using the last of my Spirit Medicine. Everyone, have some."

"Please trust the Clan Chief; he will definitely lead us to break through the encirclement."

Hearing it was Spiritual Water,

many members of the Baili Family's eyes lit up.

They all started to move forward.

"What are you doing? Line up!"

The departed Baili Junxian saw this scene through a Mirror Image.

He took a deep breath.

This fellow... it turns out there really is such a loyal person.

This time, he was completely at ease.

The person entrusted with heavy responsibilities by the Child of Destiny,

after seeing this,

"Come, everyone look closely, I'll help you all relax a bit."

Everyone gathered around.

"I'll perform a show for you called 'Raising One's Head to Gaze at the Bright Moon'."

After saying that, he plucked off his own head.

Blood sprayed out.

The eyes of the Baili Family members dilated as they watched this scene in shock.

In their hearts, they shouted, "Holy shit!"

"What a realistic show! I didn't expect the Elder to have such a trick."

"Yeah, the blood looks just like the real thing. To be able to take off his own head—even if he didn't Cultivate, he could make a living with this Illusionary Technique."

"I want the Elder to teach me this skill."

While they were talking,

many people took a sniff.

"Holy shit, something's wrong. It seems to be real blood."

"Damn, he really plucked his own head off!"

Seeing the corpse fall to the ground,

blood was still flowing.

Many people rushed closer.

"Ugh... ugh..."

Many people suddenly froze in place.

Their pupils dilated.

Thud.

Thud.

One corpse after another fell.

Chu Xinghe, who was not far from the Baili Family,

had System notifications constantly ringing in his mind.

[One thousand members of the Baili Family have died. The Child of Destiny's destiny value has decreased by 100,000. Master has obtained 10,000,000 destiny value.]

[1,568 members of the Baili Family have died. The Child of Destiny's destiny value has decreased by 300,000. Master has obtained 30,000,000 destiny value.]

Chu Xinghe knew that the people of the Baili Family were all dead.

A ripple occurred in Chu Xinghe's mind.

The few people he had controlled were all dead.

These were all powerful Cultivators of the Baili Family.

[Six members of the Baili Family have died. The Child of Destiny's destiny value has decreased by 50,000. Master has obtained 5,000,000 destiny value.]

[Master, the Child of Destiny's destiny value has been depleted too much. I can now pry open his Absolute Domain.]

The corners of Chu Xinghe's mouth curled up.

"Open it first and give him a surprise."

[Yes, Master.]

Chu Xinghe was at ease with the System's work.

At this moment, Baili Junxian, who had just entered the city, listened to the discussions around him.

He felt his scalp go numb.

"Goddess Zhongli has begun massacring the forces that questioned her being the Heaven-Devouring Demonic Body."

"I heard it too. It's really chaotic. I heard she destroys hundreds of forces a day, and many Holy Lands have suffered devastating blows."

"Linglong Yunyou of the Linglong Pavilion is also dead. Now the Linglong Pavilion in our Yuan Continent has disbanded."

"Sigh, what a pity. We used to be able to buy many good things there."

Baili Junxian subconsciously gulped.

Looking from afar,

the iconic Linglong Pavilion had already turned into ruins.

Everything made sense now.

Someone really was using him in a scheme.

Thinking of this, a bad premonition suddenly rose in his heart.

Nothing happened to the Baili Family, right?

If something happened, his strength would severely decline.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly took out the Mirror Image.

[host, unable to detect; the distance is too great.]

Hearing the System's notification,

Baili Junxian hurriedly rushed back.

A bad premonition rose in his heart.

He hurriedly sent voice transmissions to the few people sent out to gather information.

It was like a stone sinking into the ocean; there was no response at all.

It's bad.

The Child of Destiny ran back quickly.

When he saw the gate of the Baili Family,

the worry in his heart was suppressed.
