Yao Yuan's face was filled with madness as he paused and said, "Hahaha~ Because you are foolish, arrogant, conceited, vain, endlessly lustful, and cold-hearted!"

"You are foolish and arrogant, so your vision is narrow!"

"Just because you have some Alchemy talent, you think you are the Protagonist of Destiny, and you view all the heroes of the Myriad Domains of the Heavens as useless mediocrities!"

"Do you know how many astonishingly brilliant people have appeared in the Heavens?"

"Every single one of them is a radiant sun you need to look up to!"

"You are nothing but a frog at the bottom of a well, seeing only a tiny part of the sky!"

"You are arrogant and conceited; every time you cause trouble outside, aren't we the ones who clean up your mess in the end!"

"Do you really think you are omnipotent?"

"You are endlessly lustful; because of a woman, you dared to come to the Jiang Clan to snatch a bride and cause trouble!"

"You are cold-hearted and ungrateful; I, Yao Yuan, exhausted my mind and the Sect's vast resources to cultivate you, treating you as my successor, raising you like my own son. Now that you have offended someone you cannot afford to offend, and we can no longer protect you, you curse us all to hell!"

"Your two confidantes couldn't bear to kill you and died in front of you, yet you showed not a single ripple of emotion. How can you still shamelessly claim to love them?"

"If they knew, even as vengeful ghosts, they would not let you go!"

"You're amazing, you're noble!"

"You have implicated all of us, and I see not the slightest hint of remorse on your face, still that unrepentant look!"

"You never look for reasons within yourself; it's always someone else's fault!"

"You think that's pride, but in reality, it's just your pathetic self-esteem at play, afraid of losing face!"

"So you can only boast and shout!"

"Do you think others will look up to you this way?"

"In fact, they are all just laughing at you!"

"Utterly foolish!"

"It's nothing but an ant trying to shake the heavens, overestimating its own abilities!"

"Haha! Hahahaha!!"

"To think that I, a dignified Great Grandmaster of Alchemy, accidentally mistook a foolish thing like you for a hero!?"

"And even took you as my Disciple, causing myself so much trouble!"

"Lin Hongyan, you Genius! Aren't you quite capable?"

"Have the guts to stand up!"

"Aren't you going to achieve the realm of a Supreme Emperor? To dominate the ages?"

"If you have the guts, don't just lie there!"

"Hahahaha!!"

Bang! Bang bang!!

Yao Yuan grew more and more agitated as he spoke, bringing the baseball bat down fiercely, without mercy.

Without rhythm, without restraint, he just wildly swung the baseball bat.

Lin Hongyan's body twisted frantically, his blood-stained face contorted with extreme madness, and he almost used all his strength to shout, "Haha!! Damn it!!"

"You all deserve to die! All of you deserve to die! Go to hell!!"

The plot was full of twists and turns, constantly reversing.

Everyone was stunned.

The people of the Purple Firmament Pill Sect also looked at Yao Yuan with suspicious eyes.

Was this still the usually gentle and humble old man?

"Tsk tsk, come to think of it, this Lin Hongyan really isn't a good person!"

"He's an animal, no, calling him an animal is even praising him too much."

"I simply don't know what words to use to describe this person, no... it's not a person, not even an animal... what is it? It's not a thing..."

"The world is in decline..."

Everyone discussed animatedly.

Their gazes towards Lin Hongyan were filled with disdain, and their faces were all disgusted.

【Ding! The Protagonist of Destiny Lin Hongyan's ugly and hypocritical true face has been seen through by people, causing him to feel utterly disgraced! Deeply ashamed! His Dao Heart has completely collapsed, and he has gone completely mad! Luck value reduced by 700 points!】

【Congratulations to Master for gaining +700 Villain Points!】

This child has gone mad.

Jiang Ye was speechless, unsure how to comment at the moment.

"System, if someone else beats Lin Hongyan to death, will my reward be reduced?"

【No, Master~ As long as it's caused by Master, the system will settle it as usual~】

"Then let Lin Hongyan enjoy it a little longer."

Jiang Ye continued to watch the show indifferently, finding it quite amusing.

After an unknown amount of time.

The system finally sent a wonderful broadcast.

【Ding! Congratulations to Master for successfully killing the Protagonist of Destiny Lin Hongyan! Gained 5000 Villain Points!】

【Ding! Recovering all items from the Protagonist of Destiny Lin Hongyan: Great Flame Divine Body, Divine Kite Star Furnace, Pill Sun Bracelet...】

【Ding! Recovery complete! Gained 8900 Villain Points!】

"Good!"

"From this day forward, the Purple Firmament Pill Sect will be an affiliated force of my Jiang Clan. You may return now."

Jiang Ye immediately announced.

Lin Hongyan was completely dead.

Yao Yuan then suddenly awoke, and the turbulent emotions in his heart finally gradually subsided.

He returned the baseball bat to Jiang Ye, his eyes filled with deep reverence.

If at first, Yao Yuan saw Jiang Ye as an arrogant and brutal scion.

But with the destruction of the Heavenly Dao Academy and the entire Heide Dao Domain.

And then the various actions of subduing the Yu Family and sparing the Purple Firmament Pill Sect.

The Jiang Ye in his eyes had completely changed.

Although at first, it was Jiang Ye who dragged the Purple Firmament Pill Sect into an abyss of no return.

But with the Heavenly Dao Academy incident preceding it, the huge disparity formed a strong contrast.

The people of the Purple Firmament Pill Sect would only feel endless gratitude.

This method of combining both grace and might deeply shocked him even more.

Violence was merely his means to an end.

Striking Lin Hongyan.

Others might find it too cruel and undignified.

But Jiang Ye seemed completely unfazed, as if he had no sense of shame, and instead subtly took pride in "bullying others with power," using his powerful background as support and displaying it through the facade of a profligate young master.

Inspiring both awe and fear.

Could such a calm and ruthless way of doing things, so deeply understanding human nature, truly be conceived by a teenager who hadn't even come of age?

Yao Yuan felt a bit self-deprecating.

Compared to Lin Hongyan, he was utterly beyond comparison.

He had gone to great lengths to protect Lin Hongyan before.

Now that he thought about it, he was truly blind!

At this moment, the Sect Master of the Purple Firmament Pill Sect quickly cupped his fists and pledged, "Thank you, Your Highness Divine Son, for your forgiveness! From now on, the Purple Firmament Pill Sect is willing to serve Your Highness Divine Son with all its might!"

"Thank you, Your Highness Divine Son!"

Jiang Ye did not make things difficult for the others, immediately dismissing everyone present.

Everyone then breathed a sigh of relief and left one after another... Yu Chen Dao Domain, Sacred Forest Land.

This is the Cloud Top Academy's base, renowned throughout the Heavens.

The Academy's recruitment emphasizes character over talent, and with the venerable old Dean, its disciples are spread far and wide.

Of course, if you have no talent at all.

Then, sorry.

Cloud Top Academy also doesn't like to waste resources raising good-for-nothings.

However, relatively speaking, Cloud Top Academy's recruitment is indeed much more lenient.

At the foot of the mountain, mist lingered, the air was moist, and it was a scene of tranquility and peace.

A young Daoist walked slowly.

He wore a green robe, had an ordinary face, and a bamboo hat that covered most of his face.

In his hand, he held an ancient wooden tube, his usual divination tool.

A small, ancient bronze coin and several bamboo slips carved with runes.

The Daoist's face was grim, with traces of tears at the corners of his eyes, and an unquenchable hatred surged in his heart.

However, a trace of bitter helplessness still hung on the corner of his mouth.

His name was Chu Nan; he and his younger sister, Chu Li, had depended on each other since childhood, wandering the streets.

One day, Chu Nan accidentally found a Cultivation Technique related to divination. With his extraordinary talent, he became a True Disciple of the Heavenly Dao Academy, and their lives gradually improved.

But who would have thought?

After only a few months of going out for training, the Heavenly Dao Academy was gone! And his sister was also dead!

"Divine Son of the Jiang Clan! What great prestige!"

"Empress Hongye... Can an Emperor disregard the common people like this? Can she casually obliterate an entire Dao Domain?"

"This matter, I, Chu Nan, will never let rest!"

"Once I join Cloud Top Academy, climb to the top step by step to become a Dao Child of the Academy, and gain the power to contend with the Jiang Clan..."

"One day, I will surely avenge my sister and the Heavenly Dao Academy!"
