Great Villain: Starting by Humiliating the Son of the Heavenly Fate Chapter 411: Eyes on Burning Sun City

Back on Blue Sea Star, Lu Yi had read tons of web novels about different systems.

He knew one thing for sure—systems were insanely powerful. Just getting one could launch soone to the top of the world, letting them crush anyone who got in their way.

So as the system finally started booting up, excitent bubbled up inside him, mixed with a growing impatience. His mind was already racing ahead, picturing all the victories and second chances waiting for him.

His eyes drifted to Xin Tong. She looked caught between shock and fury, and deep down, he couldn't help but feel a flicker of mockery.

But on the surface, he kept wearing that sa grief-stricken look.

"You disgusting half-breed," Xin Tong spat, glaring at him like he was sothing rotten. "Lu Tingyun wasted so many resources pushing you into the Transcendence realm. What a joke—what a total waste!"

Her lips curled with satisfaction as she reached for the treasure-filled storage bracelet.

"Well, no matter. They're mine now. I'll make good use of every last one."

She straightened, eyes gleaming with ambition. "I swear, I'll break through to the Nirvana Peering realm—and before this life's over, I'll step into Nirvana Cleansing realm and beco one of the strongest cultivators on Prosperous Stone Immortal Star!"

"Ah, Xin Tong," Lu Yi said, eyes full of fake guilt and helplessness. "I know my mother and I put you through a lot. But now she's gone, and I'm barely hanging on. All the resources are yours anyway. I just ask one thing—let die on my own terms, alright?"

Inside, though, he was sneering.

Xin Tong scoffed. "Spare . I never planned to kill you."

She shot him a cold look.

"Like I said, I'll report you to the Compassionate Sword Immortal Palace. You're worth more alive—at least until they decide what to do with you."

She crossed her arms. "You think you'll get to die peacefully? Don't make laugh. Maybe you'll last a month or two, if you're lucky. But plenty of people out there would love to see you dead."

Lu Yi gave a slow nod, keeping his face pale and drawn. "That's fine. As long as it's not by your hand."

Then he looked up at her.

"Just one thing. Why didn't you take straight to the Compassionate Sword Immortal Palace? Why just pass the word along?"

"The Compassionate Sword Immortal Palace isn't the kind of place you can just stroll into," Xin Tong said. She glanced at the pile of loot and muttered, "If I showed up with you in person, do you really think I'd get to keep any of this?"

"And let's say they use for whatever they need, then decide I'm not worth keeping around. It's unlikely, sure—but not impossible. Once news about you gets out, so does the fact that I've been hiding you. They'd be forced to act, just to save face. But if I keep so distance, there's still room to protect myself."

She gave a little smirk. "Besides, they wouldn't co after right away. Once I break through to the Nirvana Peering realm, they'll have even less reason to bother. By then, I'll be too useful."

She let out a cold snort. "Still as clueless as ever, Lu Yi. Half-breeds like you really are a waste of air."

Lu Yi gave a faint smile, eyes dim. "I see. You've thought it through, Xin Tong."

"Heh, can't believe I wasted this much ti talking to trash like you. I'm done here." Xin Tong shot him one last scornful look. "Next stop—the Compassionate Sword Immortal Palace. I'll make sure the whole world knows about you and Lu Tingyun. Get ready for your big debut."

With that, she turned and walked out of the courtyard.

Heh… betrayed by the one person closest to . Of course.

Lu Yi stared at her back, a cold laugh echoing in his heart. Don't worry, predecessor. I'll make sure she pays you back in full.

As long as this damn system actually kicks in.

His brow twitched. Speaking of which… where's it at now?

He focused inward, tuning in to the faint chanical hum in his consciousness.

[...0.6%... 0.65%...]

Are you kidding ? It's showing two decimal places now?!

His face twitched. How long is this thing gonna take? Don't systems in novels usually bind instantly? Why is mine crawling like a slug on cold stone?

Then a new idea hit him, and his frustration lted into curiosity—and hope.

Wait... what if it's just that powerful? Maybe it's taking so long because it's not so ordinary system. Maybe I got sothing truly insane.

A faint grin tugged at his lips.

...

After leaving Lu Yi's residence, Xin Tong didn't waste any ti. She slipped out of Burning Sun City and headed for another city nearby.

Once there, she used a special communication channel—one she'd paid a hefty price to access—to send word to the higher-ups of the Compassionate Sword Immortal Palace.

The mont they received the ssage, excitent rippled through the sect. A high-level eting was called right away in the palace's grand, lavish main hall.

"You all know why we're here," said a middle-aged man with a calm smile. His sharp features, steady presence, and quiet authority made it clear—this was no ordinary cultivator.

He was Liang Youwen, the Palace Master of the Compassionate Sword Immortal Palace.

"We do," the others replied in unison.

Liang Youwen's smile widened. "A disciple from the Purple Crest Immortal Sect—soone claiming to be Lu Tingyun's maid—sent us a ssage through a private channel. According to her, Lu Tingyun secretly gave birth to a child."

He paused, letting the weight of his words settle in.

"A child fathered by a demon powerhouse."

"That illegitimate child's na is Lu Yi. He's holed up in Burning Sun City, not far from the Purple Crest Immortal Sect."

"Hahaha! Who would've thought Lu Tingyun had a kid with a demon? That's wild!"

"I was starting to think we were running out of chances to hit the Purple Crest Immortal Sect where it hurts… and now this drops right into our hands. It's almost too good to be true!"

"The maid gave us both a witness account and hard evidence. Once this goes public, the Purple Crest Immortal Sect's reputation is going to take a massive blow. We're one step closer to taking control of the entire Prosperous Stone Immortal Star!"

"By the way, should we agree to the terms that maid asked for?"

"Of course. Not only should we agree—we should go out of our way to protect her."

"Yeah, she's not asking for much anyway."

The elders of the Compassionate Sword Immortal Palace were practically buzzing with excitent. It felt less like a eting and more like a celebration, each of them grinning like they'd already won.

Not long after, Xin Tong got her reply: the Compassionate Sword Immortal Palace had agreed to her terms—on the condition that she fully cooperate with everything that ca next.

"Perfect," she muttered, a wicked grin spreading across her striking face.

Without wasting a mont, she left the city and headed toward a more remote location to lay low.

...

Ti passed.

Then the Compassionate Sword Immortal Palace made their move, throwing their full weight behind the plan.

First, they sent elite cultivators to quietly position themselves around Burning Sun City.

Then ca the real strike—a shocking rumor began sweeping through the region:

Unbelievable! Lu Tingyun's personal maid from the Purple Crest Immortal Sect had risked everything to expose the truth. Lu Tingyun, the powerhouse known for reaching the Nirvana Cleansing realm, was actually a demon spy. Not only that—she'd even had a child with a demon, a boy nad Lu Yi!

The claim ca with both eyewitness testimony and hard evidence.
