Daughter, Remember This: You Are Not Worthy of Young Master; Do Not Harbor Thoughts You Shouldn't

Divine Son Peak.

Divine Hall.

Lu Yuan toyed with the Red Pagoda in his hand, amusement in his eyes.

"This little pagoda should be Jun Moxiao's golden finger. What a pity—it's a little too weak, and its quality is too low. It's only Emperor Grade."

"Hmm, there's actually a remnant soul of a King Immortal Realm expert inside. Not bad. At its peak, it probably could have withstood less than half a move from me."

After playing with it for a while, Lu Yuan casually tossed the Red Pagoda into a corner of his Storage Space and ignored it.

If the Red Pagoda were placed in the outside world, it would absolutely trigger a catastrophic slaughter involving hundreds of millions.

Yet to Lu Yuan, the Red Pagoda was not even qualified to serve as an ornament.

Lu Yuan came from one of the Dark Continent's most powerful factions.

Compared to the Dark Continent, the Tianxiao Continent was like a single wave in a vast ocean. The difference in the levels of their worlds was simply too great.

Of course, compared to Lu Yuan's other identities, the Immortal Lu Family was not much to speak of.

Still, it was the family he had been born into.

Lu Yuan did have feelings for it.

The reason he had come to the Tianxiao Continent was that he had discovered more than a hundred immense manifestations of destiny there. This meant that the Tianxiao Continent possessed at least a hundred Children of Destiny.

As it happened, Lu Yuan's first golden finger was the Heavenly Mandate Great Villain System, which allowed him to gain Villain Value by killing Children of Destiny.

Villain Value could be exchanged for treasures in the System Mall.

Although Lu Yuan looked down on most of those treasures.

There were still some items that even Lu Yuan coveted.

He had come to the Tianxiao Continent.

Lu Yuan's purpose was simple.

I came, I saw, I conquered!

He would plunder all destiny, turn it into Villain Value, and strengthen his own foundation.

Lu Yuan's gaze deepened as the distribution of forces across the Tianxiao Continent surfaced in his mind.

The Tianxiao Continent had Nine Domains.

The Chaos Sacred Land was located in the Eastern Domain, one of the Nine Domains.

There were six sacred lands in the Eastern Domain, and the Chaos Sacred Land ranked last among them.

There was naturally a reason Lu Yuan had chosen the Chaos Sacred Land.

The founder of the Chaos Sacred Land was named Wan Cang.

He was also known to the people of the Tianxiao Continent as the Chaos Great Emperor.

Now, Wan Cang was merely the lord of a small city under the Immortal Lu Family.

Because his cultivation had been unable to break through for so long, he was already close to dying of old age.

Considering that Wan Cang had once rendered service to the Immortal Lu Family, and Lu Yuan happened to be coming to the Tianxiao Continent, he had chosen the Chaos Sacred Land.

Otherwise, Lu Yuan could have gone to the Primordial Sacred Land, the number one sacred land in the Central Continent, and become its Divine Son.

Tap!

Tap!

Tap!

As he lightly tapped the armrest, dark light flickered in Lu Yuan's eyes, as though he were contemplating something.

Children of Destiny were spread throughout Tianxiao.

Searching for and killing them one by one was simply too inefficient.

The best method was to gather them all together.

Then wipe them out in one stroke!

At that thought, Lu Yuan softly said, "Elder You, bring Jiang Cang here."

"Yes, Young Master."

Holy Lord Palace.

"Yiyi, listen carefully. Young Master's origins are beyond anything you can imagine. I cannot tell you the specifics, but you only need to understand this: even if every force on the Tianxiao Continent were combined, they would not compare to a single hair on Young Master's head."

"Under normal circumstances, the Tianxiao Continent is not even worthy of someone like Young Master descending here. But since Young Master has come, this is our opportunity."

"As long as we seize this opportunity, my Jiang Family will soar to the heavens. When that time comes, what will the Chaos Sacred Land amount to? What will the Chaos Sacred Master amount to? As long as we can establish a connection with Young Master, even the Tianxiao Continent will be ruled by my Jiang Family."

Jiang Cang patiently instructed the bewildered Jiang Shengyi.

Across from him, Jiang Shengyi bit her red lips tightly and nodded as though she had resigned herself to it.

"Father, I understand. For the Jiang Family's future, I will do my best."

Before this, Jiang Cang had already told her many things.

Lu Yuan's background reached the heavens, and his strength was equally extraordinary.

What could the Jiang Family rely on to attach themselves to Lu Yuan?

Their family power?

Jiang Cang's status or strength?

To ordinary people, the identity of Chaos Sacred Master might be unimaginably lofty, but to Lu Yuan, it was not worth much more than a dog from his household.

Therefore, the only thing Jiang Cang could offer was his daughter, Jiang Shengyi.

And the only thing Jiang Shengyi could offer was her beauty.

With a gratified expression, Jiang Cang gently stroked his daughter's head and said softly, "Yiyi, I am very pleased that you possess such awareness. But remember this: you are not worthy of Young Master, and you must not entertain thoughts you should not have. Your sole purpose, and your ultimate goal, is to become Young Master's maid. Do you understand?"

Jiang Shengyi nodded soundlessly.

Just then.

"Jiang Cang, Young Master summons you."

An aged voice sounded beside Jiang Cang's ear.

Jiang Cang's expression changed, and he hurriedly said, "Yes, Jiang Cang will come at once."

Then, Jiang Cang grabbed Jiang Shengyi's hand, delight filling his face as he eagerly said, "Yiyi, quickly, come with me to meet Young Master. This is your best opportunity. You must not let it slip away."

But just as the two were about to leave.

Elder You's cold voice rang out again.

"Young Master summoned only you. Jiang Cang, are you seeking death?!"

Thud!

Jiang Cang was so frightened that he dropped to his knees, his face as white as paper and cold sweat pouring down his forehead. "Jiang Cang deserves death. Please punish me, my lord."

"Hmph! Let me advise you: do not entertain thoughts you should not have. Young Master is not someone you are qualified to cling to."

Jiang Cang trembled inwardly and hurriedly said, "Jiang Cang understands. Thank you, Senior, for your guidance."

Jiang Cang prostrated himself fully and did not dare rise for a long time.

After a while, seeing no further movement, Jiang Cang finally rose shakily. Not daring to delay any longer, he flashed away and vanished from the palace.

Only Jiang Shengyi remained in the palace.

Her face was filled with confusion, for she had no idea what had just happened.

She had only seen her father suddenly kneel, terrified as though he were facing some horrifying existence.

After that, he had left without saying a word.

So now came the question.

Should she go meet Young Master, or not?

Jiang Shengyi was at a loss.

Divine Son Peak.

Inside the main hall.

Lu Yuan wore a calm expression as he looked at Jiang Cang kneeling below and begging for forgiveness. He said evenly:

"Sacred Master Jiang, there is nothing wrong with people striving upward, just as water flows downward. Everyone has ambition; that is only natural. But you should not have used your own daughter as a bargaining chip. If you cannot even cherish your biological daughter, how could I dare employ you or trust you?"

Lu Yuan's tone was calm, without any trace of joy or anger.

Yet upon hearing those words, Jiang Cang's heart fell into despair.

It was as though a sword hung above his forehead, ready at any moment to pierce through his skull and annihilate his soul.

"Jiang Cang knows his crime. Please, Young Master... punish me."

Jiang Cang prostrated himself fully, his voice trembling.

"Forget it. Since this is your first offense, I will spare you. But while death may be avoided, punishment cannot. As it happens, there is something you can do to atone for your crimes. If you do it well, your Jiang Family will become the ruler of the Tianxiao Continent," Lu Yuan said indifferently.

At those words, Jiang Cang's emotions rose sharply. In an instant, he went from extreme terror to extreme delight and hurriedly said, "Please give the order, Young Master. Even if I must climb mountains of blades and cross seas of fire, Jiang Cang will not refuse."

"Very good." Lu Yuan smiled faintly. "Then launch a Holy War. Declare war on every sacred land in the Tianxiao Continent in the name of the Chaos Sacred Land."
