Chapter 82:
As long as the Ancient Moon Sect existed, Su Changyu couldn't feel at ease.
After all, he had personally killed Tang Chuan, whose father, Tang Tianhao, was known for his revenge-seeking nature.
Given Tang Tianhao's position as the Sect Master of the Ancient Moon Sect, he would surely act.
Su Changyu believed it was better to strike first than defend passively. He preferred to be ruthless rather than sit idly by. Of course, all of this depended on whether Gu Xue's words were true.
Despite having Mu Qingshuang's token, he wasn't entirely sure. In a world of cultivation, it was always better to be cautious.
"Young Master, I'll find you once you return from the Great Ancient Battlefield," Gu Xue said.
The surrounding space began to blur, and soon, Su Changyu was back in his original place. Gu Xue and the divine dragon had disappeared.
"Changyu!" Su Mo and Su Chen approached immediately.
"Are you alright?"
"Second Grandpa, Third Grandpa, I'm fine."
"That's good, that's good." Su Mo sighed in relief. "Facing such a terrifying presence, we really... By the way, what did she want from you?"
Su Changyu hesitated for a moment. He didn't tell them about the matters concerning Heavenly Cloud Divine Palace. It wasn't that he didn't trust them; it was precisely because he trusted them, he decided to discuss it later after he had figured things out.
Sensing this, Su Mo didn't press further and waved his hand, ordering the flying boat to continue.
...
In the misty palace pavilion surrounded by celestial fog, mountains towered, and silver waterfalls hung in the air. Majestic mythical beasts occasionally appeared among the clouds and mountains. High in the sky, streaks of light flashed as cultivators with an aura of immortality and boundless energy flew by.
The shimmering array of patterns held up majestic divine mountains, displaying a magnificent sight deep within.
Outside the sect, a towering heavenly monument stood, engraved with the characters 'Ancient Moon' using supreme divine power.
All passers-by looked at this monument with pride. This was the Ancient Moon Sect, and they were proud members of it!
As an ancient force with a million-year legacy, its foundation was unquestionable. Despite the setback at Tianxing Cliff, no one dared to say the Ancient Moon Sect was weak.
Divine realm experts weren't uncommon, but provoking a conflict came with consequences. The foundation of a sect took a million years to build but could be destroyed in a century.
At this moment, in the main hall, Tang Tianhao's eyes were darkened and his face was filled with sadness.
"The Su family has gone too far!"
His thunderous voice shook the entire Ancient Moon Sect, drawing the attention of everyone within. They all knew that the sect master had suffered a huge loss on this outing, even losing his son. This matter wasn't going to be easily resolved.
Elder Yu frowned and said, "I told you before, Su Changyu is no ordinary person."
"Who knew he would act so unpredictably," Yun Ya shook his head. "To mobilize three divine realm powerhouses at once, the Su family really spoils him."
"Enough talk, let's figure out how to get revenge. Right now, everyone outside thinks the Ancient Moon sect is inferior to the Su family. They've even been saying we've been humiliated and didn't dare to strike back."
"Sect Master, should we talk with the ancestor..." Someone said.
Elder Yu retorted, "No, the Su family and Great Holy Sect are united. Even if our entire Ancient Moon Sect crossed the continent, we wouldn't gain any advantage."
Above the hall, Tang Tianhao's eyes flashed with coldness. "The Su family killed my son. I will make Su Changyu beg with me to be killed and kill him during in the Great Ancient Battlefield!"
Hearing this, Elder Yu nodded.
Even though they couldn't deal with the Su family, they could handle Su Changyu. However, this needed careful planning to avoid future repercussions.
But suddenly, Elder Yu's expression changed drastically. He looked up at the sky. "This is bad!"
Tang Tianhao and the others reacted similarly.
A figure descended into the hall, exclaiming, "Sect Master! A dragon! A divine dragon has appeared!"
At this moment, the high-ranking members of the Ancient Moon Sect almost simultaneously flew into the sky, looking up in shock and fear.
Above the Ancient Moon Sect, a massive dragon was hovering! The dragon was so enormous that its end couldn't be seen at a glance. It exuded supreme aura, pressing down on the disciples of the Ancient Moon Sect, making it impossible for them to stand straight.
"Who are you?" Tang Tianhao stared at the vague white figure above the dragon, his heart filled with terror.
"Under the order of the Young Palace Master, The Heavenly Cloud Divine Palace came here to annihilate the Ancient Moon Sect," a cold voice declared, echoing across the entire Beiyang Continent.
Then, the divine dragon received its order. With a casual swipe of its claw, a seemingly ordinary attack unleashed vast heavenly power imbued with supreme divine Qi!
The space around the Ancient Moon Sect tore like paper, and all the pavilions, mountains, and arrays were instantly reduced to dust, swept into the chaotic spatial currents!
Even Tang Tianhao, a divine realm expert, had no resistance against the divine power of the divine dragon!
"I hate this!" he roared.
Boom!!!
The entire sect which covered thousands of miles was engulfed in a massive dust storm. Even the ancestors were annihilated before they could react.
The million-year-old ancient sect was eliminated in seconds!
The news about the Ancient Moon Sect's disaster quickly swept through the entire Azura Realm.
Everyone who heard it was shocked and found it hard to believe that one of the top forces of the Azura Realm had been wiped out in an instant.
Such divine power was unmatched in the entire Azura Realm.
Afterward, the name 'The Heavenly Cloud Divine Palace' was firmly etched in everyone's minds. Even the ancient forces and ancestors lurking in the forbidden areas of the Dao Domain were filled with terror.
After the initial shock, people couldn't help but wonder, who was this so-called 'Young Palace Master,' and why he ordered to annihilate the Ancient Moon Sect?
They speculated that the recent conflict between Gu Yue and the Su family, particularly involving that young supreme, Su Changyu, might be related.
"Could it be that Su Changyu has a hidden identity?"
No matter how low the possibility, when it involved matters of life and death, the clans and sects couldn't afford to ignore it.
Better safe than sorry!
Even if the Young Palace Master wasn’t Su Changyu, any slight connection to the Heavenly Cloud Divine Palace meant they could be easily wiped out.
(On the Su family's flying boat)
"Did they really destroy it?" Su Changyu was somewhat surprised upon hearing the news.
Then, he felt really satisfied.
This was the reality of powerful forces crushing weaker ones!
"That feels awesome," Su Changyu couldn't help but say.
Who said abusing power was bad? He thought it was great.
If he didn't bully others, he'd be the one getting bullied.
Of course, if the Ancient Moon Sect hadn't posed a threat to him, he wouldn't have resorted to such extreme measures. But since they did, he believed in striking hard and leaving no loose ends. This was a crucial lesson for future villains in otherworldly travels.
"In the original novel, it also led to the main realm."
Su Changyu pondered.
In the original novel, there was no Heavenly Cloud Divine Palace subplot. However, he vaguely remembered the author mentioning that Su Changyu’s background wasn't simple. It meant that the higher realm was always intended to explore his background plot, though it hadn't been written yet. Could it be the Heavenly Cloud Divine Palace? Or something else?
Just then, a system notification appeared.
[Nangong Yun has gained inheritance. Your luck has increased and you obtained 500 villain points]
[Nangong Yun's destiny level increased]
Hmm?
Su Changyu was surprised.
"She finally obtained an inheritance?"
Considering the time, it had been a while since Nangong Yun entered the Heavenly Abyss.
If she could bring such great benefits to him and increase her destiny level, it must have been a significant opportunity.
Su Changyu realized she might not have fully understood how to properly utilize those destined people.
"This world isn't just about the main characters. The system clearly mentioned that destiny individuals can be subdued. If I seek out those with two or three-star destinies who haven't yet grown and bring them under my wing, wouldn't I be sitting on a goldmine?"
Crushing destiny children was quick but risky, and there weren't many like Tang Chuan. However, those with two or three stars were fewer but still numerous among the billions of beings. If he could subdue them, they would continuously provide him with villain points.
"It seems I need to carefully plan this out," Su Changyu thought to himself.
He planned to secretly form a faction, gathering orphans, especially those with surnames like Ye, Xiao, and Lin.
"Even if they're not destined, they can still be trained from a young age to serve the Su family."
-To be continued!
