Great Villain: Starting by Humiliating the Son of the Heavenly Fate Chapter 267: Heavenly Gu Society

At that mont, a death warrior shouted, "Quick! Cover Young Master Gu’s retreat!"

"Damn you, Three Mountains Island! The Heavenly Gu Society will never forgive you!" another death warrior bellowed.

"Young Master Gu, go now! Hurry!"

All around Gu Ran, the death warriors’ final words rang out as they fought to their deaths.

"You dare kill my n, Heavenly Gu Society!" roared You Caigao, his eyes blazing with rage. "Do you think the You Clan is so easy to bully? None of you will leave here alive!"

anwhile, Gu Ran stood frozen, stunned by what he was hearing. Since when did I beco this ’Young Master Gu’ of the Heavenly Gu Society?

"Is soone playing a joke on ?" he muttered, his voice full of disbelief and confusion.

But there was no ti to dwell on it. He quickly composed himself—this wasn’t the mont to argue or figure out why.

He realized that protesting wouldn’t make the label of ’Young Master Gu’ go away, no matter how much he tried.

If that’s how it is, then I’ll just roll with it and focus on what matters—getting stronger!

With that decision, Gu Ran sprang into action. Spotting a cultivator, he lunged forward with a fierce attack, shouting, "Die!"

But just as he moved, a black-clad assassin radiating the power of the Inquiring Journey realm appeared out of nowhere. "Young Master Gu, run! I’ll cover you!" the assassin shouted.

The assassin moved with lightning speed, striking down Gu Ran’s target before he could.

Gu Ran was stunned for a mont but didn’t stop. Without hesitation, he turned his attention to another You Clan cultivator and attacked.

Yet again, another black-clad assassin appeared, exuding the sa Inquiring Journey realm power. The assassin intercepted Gu Ran’s target and took them down. "Young Master Gu, escape! Leave this to us!" the assassin urged.

Gu Ran froze, completely speechless. His shock was clear on his face. This… this has to be a coincidence, right?

After steadying himself, Gu Ran set his sights on a third target, his face firm with determination.

But once again, another black-clad assassin appeared, radiating the power of the Inquiring Journey realm. The assassin struck down Gu Ran’s target before he could act. "Young Master Gu, escape now! When the senior mbers of the You Clan arrive, we won’t stand a chance!"

Gu Ran stood motionless, his mind racing as he watched the events unfold. What is going on? Why does this keep happening?

Before he could make sense of it, three black-clad assassins surrounded him, their strength clearly at the Inquiring Journey realm. They ford a protective circle, shouting urgently, "Hurry! Cover Young Master Gu’s retreat!"

"Stop them, no matter what it takes!" roared You Caigao, his voice thick with rage.

"Enough of this nonsense! Kill this You Clan loudmouth!" Three more assassins, all at the Heavenly Origin realm, appeared near You Caigao. Their combat power matched the Inquiring Journey realm as they launched a brutal assault.

"Begone!"

A booming roar echoed as a larger figure erged behind You Caigao, repelling the three attacking death warriors with a single powerful blow.

"Ah!" The three death warriors crashed to the ground, lifeless.

It was clear they hadn’t reached the Inquiring Journey realm through natural talent—they’d used a self-destructive secret art to gain such power.

"Hmph! You dare harm our Young Master Gu? Your You Clan is dood," a cold voice sneered, followed by a dazzling flash of light streaking toward You Caigao.

The light ca from a true Inquiring Journey realm assassin, one Jiang Chen had strategically positioned to take out You Caigao and his defenders.

Feeling the lethal threat, You Caigao cried out in desperation, "No! Protect !"

"You won’t touch my—" You Caigao’s Inquiring Journey realm guard began, but before he could finish, his head was severed cleanly from his body.

"Please, spare !" With his protection gone, fear overtook You Caigao.

"I am You Caigao! My clan can give you endless cultivation resources if you let live!"

He fell to his knees, his face pale and his body trembling so violently that he lost control of his bladder.

"Eliminate him," ca Jiang Chen’s cold order, delivered through divine sense.

Swish!

A streak of silvery sword light flashed, and You Caigao’s head flew into the air, ending his pleas.

"Young Master!" a voice scread in sheer horror.

"No! Young Master, you can’t die!"

"Ahhh, I’ll fight you to my last breath!"

One after another, the You Clan cultivators let out desperate cries and charged madly at Jiang Chen’s death warriors.

It wasn’t because they felt any deep loyalty or affection for You Caigao. They knew that surviving without him would bring only one fate: the You Clan would demand they join him in death.

Failing to protect him ant certain death either way!

"Fight! Fight! Fight! Cover Young Master Gu’s retreat!" one death warrior yelled urgently.

"Hurry! The You Clan’s high-ranking mbers are almost here! We need to move faster!" another shouted.

The death warriors called out to one another, retreating and fighting in sync as they tried to secure Gu Ran’s escape.

anwhile, Jiang Chen made sure that Gu Ran wasn’t completely left without opportunities for kills.

For You Clan cultivators with weaker cultivation, such as those in the Mysterious Platform realm, Jiang Chen allowed Gu Ran to take them down without interference. The death warriors were instructed to let Gu Ran claim these kills.

However, for cultivators who had reached the Heavenly Origin realm, Jiang Chen directed the death warriors to take them out themselves as much as possible.

This ensured that Gu Ran wouldn’t beco suspicious. If every kill were stolen from him, he might start to suspect his secret had been exposed and that he was being deliberately targeted!

Thanks to Jiang Chen’s careful planning and attention to detail, his strategy worked seamlessly, producing impressively effective results.

Amid the chaos, Gu Ran managed to take down around a dozen Mysterious Platform realm cultivators and even a few Early-stage Heavenly Origin realm practitioners.

These victories greatly boosted his cultivation base, potentially bringing him closer to a breakthrough into the Inquiring Journey realm.

But with the threat of the You Clan’s higher-ups closing in, Gu Ran didn’t dare linger. He quickly concealed himself and made his escape.

As he retreated, the Fate Value of the remaining supporting characters slowly increased.

Seeing this, Jiang Chen imdiately gave the order for his death warriors to withdraw.

"Fall back! Fall back! Fall back!" a black-clad warrior bellowed.

"Young Master Gu has escaped! Everyone, retreat imdiately!"

The death warriors wasted no ti, swiftly retreating to the city’s outskirts. Within monts, they had completely vacated You Clan City.

[Ding! You have successfully altered the plot. Protagonist Gu Ran’s Heavenly Fate Value has decreased by 1,000 points!]

[Ding! You have earned 2,000 Villain Value points!]

Just as these system notifications rang in Jiang Chen’s mind, a bright screen of light suddenly rose, covering a massive area that included You Clan City.

Both Gu Ran and Jiang Chen’s death warriors found themselves trapped within its boundaries!

"Who dares?!" A furious voice shook the air over Three Mountains Island. "Who dares to kill my beloved grandson? I’ll skin them alive and tear them into a thousand pieces!"

A streak of light shot down from the sky and landed on the island, transforming into a stern-faced, hawk-nosed old man.

This was You Haiyin, a powerful cultivator in the Late-stage Inquiring Journey realm and the ancestor of the You Clan.

Normally, You Haiyin wouldn’t be on Three Mountains Island. Instead, he spent his days ditating on Ageless Spirit Heavenly Island.

It wasn’t unusual for strong cultivators from smaller islands to retreat to the central island for deeper cultivation, especially in the Ageless Spirit Heavenly Sea.

When You Haiyin heard about the demonic beast tide threatening his holand, he rushed back imdiately. But just before he reached Three Mountains Island, he was hit with devastating news—You Caigao, his grandson, was dead!
