When I first entered high school, the system insisted that I was destined to be an emperor in my lat

Meanwhile, deep within the abyss.

The Elder's Cave of the Devouring Demon Sect.

Hua Yin, who was meditating with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them, as if he had sensed something.

He hurriedly got out of bed and knelt respectfully on one knee.

"Your subordinate, in Yin form, respectfully welcomes the Supreme Elder upon his return from seclusion!"

However, when he raised his head in a state of fear and trepidation, he froze in place.

Standing before him was not the withered and sinister Blood Demon.

Instead, he was a handsome and refined young man of sixteen or seventeen.

The boy had clear eyes and no trace of demonic energy about him.

"Sir...sir?"

Elder Huayin's eyes widened, and he suddenly realized what was happening. His voice trembled as he asked, "You...you've mastered that supreme divine skill that allows you to reverse aging?"

The young man stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes revealing a world-weariness beyond his years: "Hua Yin, I will be leaving the sect for a while."

"You are now in charge of all affairs related to the outer sect."

"this……"

Hua Yin quickly lowered his head and cautiously probed, "May I ask Elder Xue Sha, given the tense situation on the outskirts of the Abyss, should you inform the Sect Master before leaving the sect at this time?"

"The sect leader is in seclusion; there is no need to disturb him."

The boy shook his head.

"The [Great Thousand Creation Technique] I'm using this time has consumed countless rare and precious materials; this is the only chance in a hundred years to reverse one's innate constitution!"

"As long as I can successfully infiltrate Jiangnan City, find that 'Chosen One,' and use a secret technique to replace his destiny, I can break through this shackle and directly reach the supreme path!"

Upon hearing this, Yin gasped, but still said with some worry, "But sir... the military region is heavily guarding against our demonic sect, and Jiangnan City has an iron wall and a net."

"Although you have changed your appearance and age, you do not have proper identification information..."

"It's alright."

The boy gave a cold laugh. "This time, I spared no expense to wash away the demonic aura from my body, and even my cultivation level has regressed to the level I was at when I was sixteen."

"Those idiots in the military, even if an eighth-rank martial saint were to come in person, I would still be just an ordinary high school student."

"What?!"

Hua Yin's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets as he stared at the boy in front of him with disbelief.

"Doesn't that mean... all your cultivation of over a hundred years has vanished?!"

In other words, Lao Tzu is stronger than this Supreme Elder?

A rebellious thought suddenly popped into Hua Yin's mind.

The boy seemed to see through Hua Yin's little scheme at a glance, and snorted coldly with a mocking expression on his face.

"Stop having such a stupid idea."

"I have been fully prepared for this day!"

"I have three life-saving trump cards sealed in my sea of ​​consciousness. Even if an eighth-rank Martial Saint comes in person, I can easily escape."

"This opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime chance for me!"

"Even if I lose a century of cultivation, as long as I can steal the Mandate of Heaven, my future achievements will be beyond the reach of you trash!"

Hua Yin was so frightened that he shuddered and immediately kowtowed repeatedly.

"My lord, you have a wonderful plan!"

"Then, sir, how should I assist you in infiltrating the city?"

"On the outskirts of the abyss, a young man has recently been hunting strange beasts alone."

The young man narrowed his eyes slightly. "Next, I need you to bring a few disciples to help me put on a good show."

"You guys are in charge of hunting me down, so I'll just have to get injured and use that kid as a cover to sneak into Jiangnan City!"

Upon hearing this, Hua Yin was so frightened that he waved his hands repeatedly, his head covered in sweat.

"Even if I had ten lives, I wouldn't dare harm you in the slightest!"

"Idiot! This is an act! How can we fool the military if it's not realistic?!"

The boy coldly rebuked him, then put his hands behind his back and slightly raised his chin: "Remember, from now on, I am no longer the Supreme Elder, but just a high school student being hunted down by the demonic path."

"My name is Chu Xing..."

"Smack!!!"

Before the word "river" could be uttered, a crisp, loud slap rang out!

The boy was spun around twice by the slap, and a bright red five-finger mark instantly appeared on his fair face.

"You brat!"

"How dare you be so impolite to this elder? Are you courting death?!"

Hua Yin withdrew his hand, his face trembling with anger, and roared loudly, completely absorbed in the performance.

"You motherfucker..."

Chu Xinghe covered his swollen cheek, feeling the burning pain, his heart filled with rage.

But the thought of usurping the throne from the chosen one suppressed his anger.

Tolerate!

Once I regain my cultivation, the first thing I'll do is skin you alive, you old bastard!

Chu Xinghe gritted his teeth, tears welling up in his eyes from the frustration.

He quickly turned around and stumbled as he fled out of the cave.

"Men! Chase after him! Don't let that little bastard get away!"

As Hua Yin watched the other party's disheveled escape, a sense of satisfaction welled up inside him. He immediately called upon several demonic disciples to give chase with murderous intent.

……

Half an hour later.

On the outskirts of the abyss, beneath a dark red sky.

Chu Xinghe ran frantically among the rocks in a panic, his body covered in several deep, bone-revealing cuts, looking utterly miserable.

Finally, a figure stood tall amidst the mountains of corpses and seas of blood before him.

It was a young man dressed in white, his long sword sheathed, surrounded by the remains of strange beasts. His white clothes were as pure as snow, spotless.

Jiang Baiyi ranks first on the Jiangnan Province's list of prodigies!

"Help! Help me!"

Chu Xinghe immediately feigned a terrified expression and scrambled towards Jiang Baiyi, collapsing to the ground.

Upon hearing the sound, Jiang Baiyi slowly turned her head.

Looking at the bloodied boy being chased by a group of demonic cultivators, he frowned slightly.

Kid, you're even prettier than me?!

"Hehehe! Run! You little beast, where do you think you're going today!"

Hua Yin, along with several demonic disciples, charged forward with a sinister grin.

As a Martial King Realm expert at the peak of the sixth rank, he didn't take the white-robed youth seriously at all.

"Anyone who obstructs the work of my Holy Sect shall die!"

Hua Yin casually unleashed a chilling palm strike, carrying a terrifying poison, aimed directly at Jiang Baiyi's face.

However, Jiang Baiyi did not back down in the face of this poisonous palm that was enough to kill a fifth-grade grandmaster instantly.

He remained standing quietly in the same spot.

next second.

"Clang!"

A sword's cry echoed through the abyss!

Jiang Baiyi's blood surged like a boiling galaxy, and the aloof and arrogant [Bright Moon Bloodline] was instantly unleashed!

Without a word, he drew his longsword and slashed out!

"Whoosh!"

A terrifying white sword beam, as if reaching for the moon in the heavens, tore through the abyss's black mist with overwhelming force!

"What?!"

Elder Huayin, who had been nonchalant, was instantly terrified.

The power contained within that sword intent actually made him feel a sense of death threat!
