Rebirth Of The Villainous Crown Prince

Chapter 152 - The Butterfly Effect Of Old Deeds



King Xin asked, "Are you sure Kang Bai died due to a core disciple?"

Clan Head Fang Yuan nodded his head, "I am very certain. In fact, one of my men witnessed that core disciple Yuan Shuchun act rashly with the array, and this led to Kang Bai's death."

"Oh.." King Xin asked with a slight smile, "Well, once Kang Ximin finds out how his son met death, I am sure he will go berserk. When are you planning to tell him about this?"

"Not yet," Clan Head Fang Yuan shook his head, "Tell him everything will be no different than telling him who our spies are, and he won't believe our word as long as he doesn't get the proof."

"Yes," King Xin nodded his head and said, "But if we don't tell him, why will he come to us before that? He might believe Gracious Sword Sect's word and would only mourn for his son."

"And if this happens, then the Kang Clan will go even more recluse."

Fang Yuan nodded his head and said, "I understand what you're worried about, and I have already prepared something about that."

"That's good then," King Xin nodded his head, and then after a moment of silence, he asked, "Keeping everything aside, were you able to find that child, the one who came from the Middle Heavens?"

Clan Fang Yuan shook his head and sighed, "No, unfortunately, I have no news. Not even a single clue. The Clan Head of the Great Ling Clan, Ling Xiao, from the Middle Heavens brought his daughter to the Lower Heavens, but when he went back, his daughter wasn't with him."

"I am pretty sure Ling Xiaochun knows about her location," King Xin remarked.

"Even if he knows, does it matter?" Fang Yuan said, "It's been fifteen years since this incident, and Ling Clan clan head has never mentioned anything about this."

King Xin frowned slightly, "Even the Devil Sect failed to find anything about the Ling Clan's child. If we had succeeded, we would have refined her Heavenly Yin constitution to create Heavenly Yin pills, which would have given a good boost to anyone who took those pills."

[Author note: If you still haven't gotten the hint of who these two are talking about, have a look at Chapter 2: Prologue: Before The Beginning (2)]

"Yeah," King Xin took a deep breath and sighed before saying, "Things don't always go as we have planned. Life is about surprises. What are your next plans?"

"Southern Region." Fang Yuan said, "I will be sending my son to the Southern Region. A big opportunity lies there."

"Son? Fang Chen? Or…"

"No, not that Fang Chen. He's not a part of my clan, nor does my blood flow through his veins."

"So, you will be sending your real son? Isn't that quite risky?" King Xin frowned, "No one knows about his existence, not even your own clan."

Fang Yuan nodded his head and said, "That's why I am sending him. The whole world will soon come to know of his name. I don't want to taint my name by being known as the father of a kid who isn't my son and can't even cultivate properly."

"There was no need to keep Fang Chen alive all these years," King Xin shrugged as he finished his words.

"No," CLan Head Fang Yuan shook his head, "We need that boy. I want that bastard Su Ming to suffer the worst possible fate. I want his own son to kill him. That would be an interesting sight to witness."

"Yes," King Xin smiled at those words, "That sure will be a good day. Let's hope that kid Fang Cehn doesn't mess up."

"He won't; I already have talked about Su Ming's rival in the sect, a Grand Elder with the surname Xuan. This Xuan guy will instigate more hate in Fang Chen towards Su Ming. I think he had even started doing it. I also got to know that Fang Chen has joined that guy's faction in the sect."

"Oh," King Xin was a bit surprised, "Was it due to your friendship, or did he see something in Fang Chen?"

Clan Head Fang Yuan narrowed his eyes and said, "That kid… Fang Chen… is now a peak Qi Refining Realm cultivator."

"What? Peak Qi Refining Realm? He isn't even fully fifteen years old; how is this possible!?" 

"That's what I am also interested in," Clan Head Fang Yuan scratched his chin while saying, "Not only does he have such good cultivation, the guards which I had sent to keep an eye on him have also gone missing. Most probably killed by Fang Chen or our enemy."

King Xin took a deep breath before replying, "I hope that Grand Elder Xuan can keep a leash on Fang Chen."

"He will. Fang Chen rebelling and going against me is the least possible outcome of all in this situation. No need to worry about it."

"What we do need to worry about is the last thing that I want to discuss with you."

"Hm? What is it?" King Xin asked with his eyebrows scrunched lightly.

"Yesterday, many things happened in the Gracious Sword Sect. But the one important thing that happened was that someone broke through the Sword Attainment Realm."

"What!?" King Xin almost shouted in surprise, "Which elder? Or was it a core disciple!?"

"Neither. It was an Inner COurt disciple. The spy I have in the sect reported to me about an incident which alarmed his whole peak, and then its Peak Master told them that it was due to someone breaking through the Sword Intent realms."

"This disciple will be troublesome," King Xin rubbed his forehead, "We must find out who this disciple is. If he doesn't join us, we will kill him on the spot."

Clan Head Fang Yuan nodded his head in agreement.

Though standing at the peak of the Lower Heavens and high cultivation realm, both of them knew about the danger someone with sword intent can possess, especially if he is their enemy.

Someone with Sword Intent could easily go against cultivators with realms higher than their own and easily take out powerful foes.

After some time of silence between them, Clan Head Fang Yuan said, "Alright, I should get going. I will look into this Sword Intent disciple. To be honest, there's nothing much to worry about."

"This disciple is still a bud; he's most probably in the Qi Condensation or Qi Stabilization Realm at most. There's nothing to be worried about since the Gracious Sword Sect will turn into history before he even grows. And if that sect decides to send this disciple in the Grand Spirit Hunt, I will make sure that this disciple doesn't return alive."

King Xin nodded his head, "That will be for the best. We don't need to recruit someone who possesses Sword Intent because, within ten or so years, he will have enough cultivation to go against us."

"Recruiting such a disciple is not different from bringing a snake into the house. We won't even have the chance to think if he decides to attack us.

Clan Head Fang Yun nodded his head, "Yes, that's why I want this disciple dead more than anything else right now."

"I should take my leave," Fang Yuan added, "I need to prepare a hint for Kang Ximin. It won't be easy to gain his trust; after all, both of us have been rivals for a long time. And the worst part was you siding with me every single time." He had a huge smile on his face by the time he finished his words.

"As if I had any other choice." King Xin wasn't able to control his eye role.

A few minutes ago in the Gracious Sword Sect.

A new day has begun in the ever-bustling sect, and disciples were now slowly coming out of their cultivation abodes to go on their missions, or get resources or just find a good spot to sleep more.

But not all had gone out; many were still in the Inner Court cultivation abodes and were either taking rest or cultivating.

On the Sixth Level, room number Forty-Three was the cultivation abode of Ye Tian Yun.

He had decided to take sleep last night rather than sit and cultivate. 

As his eyes opened, he took a deep breath, drank a glass of water, and prepared himself for a new day.

A lot of things happened yesterday. Every passing hour turned the situation more and more interesting.

From Resource Hall, where he received a sudden invitation to the Heavenly League, to the Sleeper Cells' suicide assassination attack to destroy the whole sect, yesterday's event was quite overwhelming.

He knew that he now had one month before he could go out of the sect and head towards the Southern Region, so he was planning to cultivate all the rewards which he had received from the Inner Court Entrance Hunt. Maybe if he got lucky, he might even break through to the next cultivation level.

Thinking about this, he decided to open the system window.

However, he ended up seeing a list of huge red notifications.

[Congratulations, Host, for affecting your fate, you have received 12 Fate Points.]

[Congratulations, Host, for affecting your fate, you have received 14 Fate Points.]

[Congratulations, Host, for affecting your fate, you have received 32 Fate Points.]

Ye Tian Yun's sleepy eyes opened wide when he saw the long list of rewards.

'What in the world did I do yesterday? Some of these are more than what I got when I killed Fang Chen!'
