Chapter 3

"Indeed! Young Master, I suggest we kill Ye Qingchan first to prevent her from warning others."

"Yes! Kill Ye Qingchan!!"

The gathered geniuses immediately echoed in agreement.

However, Ye Qingchan and the other Xuanyuan Sect disciples frowned, their expressions filled with fear.

At this point, any explanation from them would be meaningless.

Given the low character of these sect geniuses, they would certainly take this opportunity to attack the Xuanyuan Sect and destroy this strongest force in the Northern Wasteland.

Ling Xiao's identity likely came from the Holy Province above the Four Wastelands; otherwise, he could not possibly have such strength.

A person like him would not care about the lives of ants like them.

But!!

Just as Ye Qingchan's heart trembled with anger, Ling Xiao suddenly waved his hand, stopping the commotion.

"Ling Xiao may be of average strength, but I have always believed in the righteousness of the path. I assure you all that I will not let a single evil escape, nor will I wrong a single good person."

"Hmm?"

Hearing this, the expressions on everyone's faces turned blank again.

At this moment, Ling Xiao seemed to radiate a brilliant light, dazzling and awe-inspiring.

This is... the light of righteousness!!

"Y-Young Master..."

Even Ye Qingchan's lips trembled, unable to speak.

Originally, she thought that a young master like Ling Xiao, who had achieved success at a young age and was high above others, would be arrogant and self-important.

Even his suppression of the Demon Emperor earlier was just for fame and glory.

But now, looking at his calm and gentle face, she suddenly felt confused.

"This young lady fought bravely and was also seriously injured. I think... even if the Xuanyuan Sect colluded with the Demon Sect, it must have nothing to do with her."

Ling Xiao smiled faintly and suddenly waved his hand.

An elderly figure immediately stepped through the void and appeared above everyone.

Then, an overwhelming pressure surged forth, directly pinning all the geniuses to the ground, cold sweat pouring down their faces.

A Reality Breaker!!

In an instant, everyone's eyes widened, and they became even more convinced of their thoughts.

This Young Master Ling must not be from the Four Wastelands.

"Go and secretly eliminate all the Demon Sects in the Northern Wasteland. Do not let the news leak out."

Ling Xiao said indifferently, and the old man immediately bowed, "Yes, Young Master."

His posture was like that of a servant!!

A Reality Breaker was actually this young man's servant.

"Hisss!!"

A series of low, suppressed breaths echoed, and the black-robed old man disappeared.

"Miss Qingchan, do you know the Chu Yang they mentioned?"

After doing this, Ling Xiao finally turned back to Ye Qingchan, speaking calmly.

As he had guessed, if Yue Qiuci had killed all the sect geniuses today, then her collusion with the Demon Empress would be completely hidden.

Such a destined hero often likes to play the role of a tiger hiding in the pig, quietly developing in the sect until reuniting with the Empress and staging a heroic rescue.

Of course, a typical destined hero would also have a childhood friend, a little cousin, or a senior sister.

Clearly, Ye Qingchan should be Chu Yang's childhood friend.

Given Ye Qingchan's destiny, she would not easily perish today.

When she returns to the sect, she will surely question Chu Yang's relationship with Yue Qiuci, leading to another series of dramatic twists and turns.

However, what Ling Xiao was slightly curious about at this moment was how Ye Qingchan, with her cultivation, could escape from Yue Qiuci.

What is her trump card?

Ling Xiao's gaze was clear as he sized up Ye Qingchan.

Indeed, every destined person is a mysterious portal that needs to be slowly opened to uncover their potential.

It seems that he needs to find an opportunity to delve deeper into... Ye Qingchan to truly understand her.

"Without hiding anything from Young Master, Chu Yang is the young master of our Xuanyuan Sect. This time, he came down the mountain with me for training. We agreed to meet at Changyun Mountain. I swear on my life that Chu Yang would never betray the Xuanyuan Sect!"

Ye Qingchan did not hide anything, or rather, she could not hide anything.

With this Young Master Ling's strength, he could easily destroy the entire Xuanyuan Sect. Deceiving him would only lead to a tragic end.

"Oh? If that's the case, then please lead me to the Xuanyuan Sect, Miss Ye."

Ling Xiao nodded lightly, saying nothing more.

See, this opportunity has come.

Swearing on your life, does that mean your life belongs to me?

"Alright!"

Ye Qingchan was fearless. She still did not believe that Chu Yang would collude with the Demon Sect and slaughter the righteous of the Northern Wasteland.

The priority now was to see Chu Yang and understand the situation.

With Young Master Ling here, his righteousness and integrity would surely bring justice to the Xuanyuan Sect!

"Then I will trouble you, Miss Ye."

Ling Xiao turned, grabbed Yue Qiuci by the neck, and took her and Ye Qingchan toward the Xuanyuan Sect.

The other sect geniuses left the ancient forest, returning to their sects to report today's events to their elders.

"Cough, cough."

On the way, Ye Qingchan continued to cough blood, her breath becoming increasingly weak, clearly having been seriously injured in the previous battle.

"Miss Ye, it's getting late. Why don't we rest here today? Your injuries need to be treated as soon as possible to avoid any lingering problems."

Ling Xiao's expression was calm, but a hint of darkness flashed in his eyes.

From the system's previous prompts, he already knew that there were two ways to gain destiny points.

One was to seize destiny and kill on the spot, thus receiving the killing reward.

The other was to make the destined person submit, which would also grant a reward.

Now that Ling Xiao had encountered two destined individuals, he naturally wanted to test the differences between these two methods.

Of course, Ye Qingchan was not untouchable, but such a destined childhood friend often had another terrifying identity.

If he could subdue her before she awakened her trump card, it might be useful in the future.

"Thank you, Young Master."

Ye Qingchan nodded lightly and descended with everyone, finding an ancient cave in the mountains to rest.

"Miss Ye, come with me."

"Yes, Young Master."

For some reason, Ye Qingchan felt an inexplicable fear at this moment.

In the dead of night, a man and a woman, in a cave... treating injuries...

Brothers, do you see the picture?
