A mysterious elixir, a threat looms.

[Consumed one million help points. Congratulations, Master, on obtaining one Mysterious Medicinal Pill.]

Hearing this, Chu Xinghe's brows furrowed.

A golden Medicinal Pill had already appeared in his hand, featuring ten layers of patterns.

"What does this pill do?"

[The System doesn't know either. The 'Mysterious' in Mysterious Medicinal Pill lies in that very word.]

Chu Xinghe couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Something worth a million help points must be a good item.

He swallowed it in one gulp.

He didn't even let out a burp.

"That's it? That's all?"

"System, you aren't swindling me out of my help points, are you?"

[Heavens and Earth be my witness, how could I swindle Master? The lottery can draw anything from the myriad worlds; even I don't know what will be drawn.]

[Master might even draw a cat-eared girl or a fox vixen, there's no telling.]

"Give me another Intermediate draw."

[Consumed five hundred thousand help points. Obtained one Minor Realm Upgrade Card.]

Chu Xinghe sighed.

Every Intermediate draw resulted in this.

After using it, his strength rose to the Middle Stage of the Ascension Realm.

Not bad.

That wealthy lady had already gone home.

Should he go catch a few Children of Destiny to send to her?

He could use them to exchange for a wave of rewards.

Chu Xinghe suddenly thought of something.

He slapped his thigh.

[What's wrong, Master?]

"What a huge loss! I gave her the demon god pearl but forgot to ask for more Saint Medicines."

[System: ...]

This Master seemed a bit money-grubbing.

Chu Xinghe returned to the Saint's Palace.

His pupils contracted slightly.

A letter was sitting on the table.

"Chu Xinghe, is this method of letter-writing familiar? This is how Bai Wuchen died."

"Can you still remember this smiley face and these eyes?"

Chu Xinghe looked at the drawings below.

"Jiang Wanyin should belong to Su Yan, but you certainly have the skill to make her soul yearn for you day and night."

"What benefit do you get from helping Zhongli Qingmeng so much? In the end, it will all be for naught."

Everyone has their own fate. You delude yourself into thinking you can act against the heavens; can you actually do it?

I'm not afraid of you knowing.

The Jiang Family already knows you are using Jiang Wanyin. Jiang Wanyin didn't believe it and tried to escape the Jiang Family, but she was caught and brought back.

The Jiang Family has ordered that unless she dies, she cannot leave the Jiang Family by a single step.

That silly girl is quite devoted; she personally gouged out her own Origin, extracted her Bloodline, and severed her heart meridians. She only has one month of life left.

She left the Jiang Family just because she wanted to see you one last time from afar, not wanting to make things difficult for you."

Seeing this, Chu Xinghe felt as if his heart was being gripped ruthlessly, making it hard for him to breathe.

He pursed his lips, his knuckles turning white from the force of gripping the letter.

"Jiang Wanyin shouldn't belong to you; she should have had her own destiny. All of this is your fault. Let's see if you have the ability to see her one last time."

"Don't alert anyone, and don't look for helpers. This letter was written with Jiang Wanyin's blood. There is a map on the back. I'll wait for you in Yang Prefecture. Take off the protective armor the Zhongli Family gave you and don't bring it out. I'll be watching you."

Seeing the contents of the letter, Chu Xinghe's pupils shrank.

He suppressed the turmoil in his heart.

After putting the letter away, he looked up at the sky.

He didn't say much.

Disguising himself, hiding his white hair and restraining his Aura, he vanished from the main hall.

Chu Xinghe walked among the crowd like an ordinary person.

Watching the people coming and going on the streets, he felt a sense of illusory transience.

Everything felt like a dream.

What had he done to deserve a girl treating him like this?

In his past life, even husbands and wives would flee separately when disaster struck.

She was a Young Miss of a great clan; why was she so foolish?

Shouldn't people climb upward by any means necessary?

Things like affection and love were no longer cared for by many.

[Master, what's wrong?]

Chu Xinghe sighed.

"System, I asked you before: if a Child of Destiny came to deal with me, what should I do? Do you have an answer now?"

[Master can rely on your own wisdom to turn misfortune into a blessing.]

Chu Xinghe lowered his head, his eyes flickering.

When he looked up again, the corners of his mouth curled upward.

He took a teleportation array and arrived in Yang Prefecture overnight.

He took out the letter.

The appearance of a large mountain was drawn on the back.

Spirit Mist Mountain Range.

Chu Xinghe casually asked around and found the specific location.

By noon,

He had reached the Spirit Mist Mountain Range.

This place was shrouded in mist year-round.

It was filled with various poisonous insects and dangers.

He still had to go in and find that specific mountain.

He avoided various dangers along the way.

Upon seeing a place with the same mountain features as in the letter,

A faint golden light flickered in Chu Xinghe's eyes as he found an entrance.

He walked in cautiously.

His pupils contracted.

In the center was a stone platform with a coat placed on it.

Beside it was another letter and a jade stone.

He opened the letter.

"I know you have ten jade talismans with Great Saint-level attacks. Leave them here and go to Sea City to wipe out the Feng Family."

"You should recognize this coat; you gave it to Jiang Wanyin. She certainly cherished it."

Chu Xinghe put away the letter and crushed the jade stone.

A projection of a dim space appeared.

There was only a single candlestick.

Lying there was a person with a pale face and a chest that rose and fell only slightly.

It was indeed Jiang Wanyin.

Unlike her previous playful and quirky self,

She now looked like a rose that could wither at any moment.

Chu Xinghe instinctively clenched his hand.

[Master, are you alright?]

Chu Xinghe shook his head.

[Master, no Aura was left on this jade stone, and I cannot detect anything either.]

Chu Xinghe's pupils shrank slightly.

Wasn't this letter-writing method exactly how he dealt with the Children of Destiny?

"Such is fate."

With a sigh, he headed for Sea City.

At dusk, the sunset glow hung high in the sky, appearing within reach.

He entered Sea City.

Chu Xinghe finally heard about what had happened in Sea City.

A few days ago, the Young Master of the Gongsun Family, Gongsun Wuji, obtained a mysterious treasure.

The City Lord's Feng Family wanted to take it for themselves, but the Gongsun Family refused.

They were exterminated overnight.

Chu Xinghe's eyes narrowed.

Could his guess be wrong? Was this done by Gongsun Wuji?

No, impossible.

Perhaps there wasn't just one person behind this.

Who else was behind it?

The Shui Family, Great Yu, Linglong Pavilion, Great Zhou, or Tianlu Academy... It felt like a giant net was being woven, trapping him firmly inside.

The schemer even chose the moment when Zhongli Qingmeng had left.

Could it be that a Child of Destiny has appeared among the members of the Zhongli Family as well?

Chu Xinghe thought of many possibilities.

For now, he could only focus on one piece of information.

Gongsun Family, treasure.

Night fell.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.

Chu Xinghe appeared at the City Lord's Manor.

Half an hour later,

The entire Feng Family was engulfed in flames.

Chu Xinghe left with a grim expression.

He held a letter in his hand.

Someone lurking in the Feng Family had given it to him.

After giving it to him, that person's Divine Soul was obliterated.

It was impossible to even search their memories.

He opened the letter; it was another blood-letter.

"Don't bother trying to find information on me. I will change locations at any time. When you dealt with Bai Wuchen before, you were so detailed and cautious."

"I certainly won't make any mistakes, nor will I leave any clues. You did well with the Feng Family matter."

"Sever your ownership of the purple gold gourd and throw it into the sea of fire. Don't play any tricks, or I will reveal the fact that a Heaven-Devouring Demonic Body stayed at the Tianyan Holy Land."

"Those Old Fellows at the Tianyan Holy Land treat you well; you wouldn't want to see them besieged and killed, would you?"

"The next location is Yuan City in Tai Prefecture. There is an Embroidered Saber in the Hong Family's secret vault; obtain it and throw it into the dry well thirty kilometers to the east."

"It takes two days even by teleportation array to get to Hong Prefecture. You'd better hurry."
