Chapter 767: Obedient Disciple Comes into the Embrace 01

Speaking of the Azure Sky Continent, although there are many cultivation sects, the great sects are however few.

Among the many sects, only the Xuanzong Sect stands out; within the sect there are numerous cultivation institutes, and it is acclaimed by the world as the number one great sect of cultivation.

The villain Fei Mian is precisely a newly recruited disciple of the Xuanzong Sect, and also the only one whose foundation has not surpassed Qi Refining Level Three, but because of his outstanding ability and potential he was exceptionally admitted.

However, when the sect's institutes selected disciples, Fei Mian was found to have, besides a wood spiritual root, also a variant dark spiritual root in his dantian.

Everyone knows that a variant dark spiritual root is extremely prone to succumb to heart demons, and cultivation is arduous, progress slow; for a time Fei Mian went from a hotshot rising star to a disciple that all the institute elders were unwilling to take.

In the end, he was still taken in by the Xuanzong Sect's Sect Leader under the Sword Cultivation Division, becoming a menial outer sect disciple.

And the source of the disaster lies precisely here.

The protagonist, Xie Xi, born into a cultivation clan, possesses outstanding talent and is arrogant and domineering.

At only thirteen years old, he has already reached Qi Refining Level Five, and can be considered an outstanding among his peers.

He thought he would shine brightly in the recruitment, but who would have expected that a mere trash with only Qi Refining Level Two would steal his spotlight.

It was precisely at this time of indignation that news came that this little trash of Qi Refining Level Two also possessed a variant dark spiritual root, and thus had no deterrent power.

Thus Xie Xi successfully became the top newcomer and an inner sect disciple of the Sect Leader's Sword Cultivation Institute.

Afterwards, Fei Mian not only suffered oppression from other disciples, but also had to endure mockery and bullying from Xie Xi, who was unwilling to lose the spotlight.

The protagonist's love interest, Luo Yi Ping, as the senior brother of the Sword Cultivation Institute and the Sect Leader's son, greatly likes this little junior brother Xie Xi; in his eyes, all arrogance and domineering behavior are just adorable displays.

In such days of daily oppression with no one to confide in, Fei Mian finally gave rise to a heart demon, and under the impetus of his variant dark spiritual root it became uncontrollable.

In the end he completely fell into demonhood, allied with the demon race to oppose the Profound Heaven Sect, thus becoming blackened, and was ultimately wiped out by the combined forces of all the major sects.

As the former senior brother of the villain Fei Mian, Luo Yi Ping and Xie Xi played important roles in this great battle, becoming heroes praised by all.

【Host, your identity this time is the Xuanzong Sect's Sect-Guarding Master, honorific title Yuan Xu, the Sect Leader's uncle, an old monster who has lived for many, many, many, many years~】

Jin Chen: "……"

Actually, there's no need to add that suffix at the end.

He accepted the original host's memories, which were actually quite scarce, mostly spent in closed-door cultivation, and he would emerge whenever there was a major upheaval in the mortal world.

Upon opening his eyes, he found himself lying beneath a crabapple tree, with a clear spring pool beside him, its reflection clearly visible.

White hair and silver pupils, transcendent and pure.

It has only been a few months since Fei Mian entered the Xuanzong Sect, and he is no older than twelve.

He never expected that this world would also require raising a child, and Jin Chen felt the pressure immediately.

The urgent task is to quickly bring the little one to his side for protection.

White robes fluttered as crabapple blossoms fell to the ground; Jin Chen rose gracefully and went to the Heavenly Loft Main Peak to seek someone.

According to the original plot, today is the day of the sect's minor trial, but as an outer sect disciple Fei Mian is not qualified to participate, and moreover he inevitably faces open and covert mockery from the protagonist's lackeys.

"You're not so tough, huh! Fight back or are you afraid of being driven out?!"

Zhang Guang laughed loudly, then threw another punch at Fei Mian's chin; his delicate face was already smeared with ground dust, turning ashen, with a scrape at the corner of his eye and a few strands of blood trickling down.

Fei Mian made no sound, curling up on the ground, allowing them to punch and kick him.

Cannot fight back……

Only one thought remained in his mind.

He has no home left; the Xuanzong Sect is the last place that can shelter him, and if he were expelled for randomly beating an inner sect disciple, he would become a little beggar again.

"Trash is trash, yet he dares to steal Xie Xi's limelight!"

"Exactly!" Zhang Wan also joined in mocking, cursing very harshly.

"Who knows if he used some trick on the day of selection? A mere Qi Refining Level Two trash actually stole Xie Xi's spotlight! Back then he was Qi Refining Level Five!"

The two brothers Zhang Guang and Zhang Wan come from the same place as Xie Xi; their families are not wealthy, but since childhood they have relied on the Xie family to obtain some treasures, and the two are also quite promising, having cultivated to Qi Refining Level Four at age fourteen, thus qualifying for selection.

It's a pity that the Xuanzong Sect never lacks talented people.

After they entered, they found themselves already lost among the crowd, completely lacking any sense of superiority, so they continued to faithfully serve as Xie Xi's lackeys, handling many things that Xie Xi could not do due to his status.

They are also a handy tool for forcing Fei Mian to blacken and fall into demonhood.

Another punch fell, this time striking his still-unhealed shoulder wound; the pain made Fei Mian tremble, and he cautiously shielded his shoulder with his dirty hand, but Zhang Guang happened to see this motion, laughed loudly, and then kicked hard at his shoulder.

"Does it hurt here? You deserve it! Who made you steal Xie Xi's spotlight? You don't realize, do you? Now Xie Xi is the favored disciple beside the Sect Leader; aside from the senior brother, the Sect Leader's favorite disciple is Xie Xi! Who would still remember a trash like you?!"

Just then, several streaks of dim light flashed.

The two attackers suddenly felt their vision blur and their heads spin; when they regained their senses, a white-haired man stood before them, his eyes devoid of any warmth, gazing at them made one's heart turn cold.

The gold-and-silver double-patterned insignia hanging at his waist startled the Zhang brothers, who hastily bowed in salute.

You should know that in the Xuanzong Sect, immortals are ranked by their insignia: their teachers only have red, above that are several institute deans with purple, and the Sect Leader has gold.

"Greetings, Immortal Master."

The two spoke in unison.

Jin Chen glanced lightly, his gaze falling on the pitiful little one's face on the ground.

Fei Mian noticed the gaze, dared not meet it, and merely forced his body up to kowtow.

【Detected the villain of this world's plot; current Blackening Value is 75, mission requires Blackening Value to be cleared to zero, to change the villain's tragic ending.】

"Why are you fighting here?"

Even his voice was cold enough to make one shiver.

"This..."

Zhang Guang and the other exchanged glances, not daring to speak.

They simply couldn't say it was because Fei Mian was too outstanding.

Jin Chen flicked his sleeve, his gaze sweeping over coldly, "Get up."

Is he…… speaking of me?

Fei Mian lifted his eyes to look, but he was lying prone, his frame small and thin; even raising his head he could not see the immortal's face, only feeling an aura that inspired fear.

Stand up, defeat these two, and I will take you as my disciple.

This time, Fei Mian was certain—he was just talking to himself.

He lifted his head in disbelief, his dazed gaze gradually becoming firm, and even his faintly aching shoulder felt much better now.

Even if it's for the future, even if hope is slim, he must gamble on this.

But before he could act, he heard Zhang Guang eagerly say, "Immortal Master! Fei Mian has a variant dark spiritual root; even if you took him as a disciple, it would be useless!"

He's just trash!

Wuhu, the new world has arrived!
