Rebirth Of The Villainous Crown Prince

Ye Tian Yun was surprised seeing Yuan Shuchun here. This beautiful female disciple in front of him was a peculiar character. And undoubtedly the most interesting one in the whole Gracious Sword Sect.

Yuan Shuchun was very talented in terms of cultivation and had already made a name for herself when she broke through the Qi Stabilization Realm before turning sixteen. This was a remarkable feat even in the Middle Heavens, let alone here, where such speed is considered godly.

But Ye Tian Yun considered her interesting not because of her talent or fame but because of what her aim and her true nature were.

When he saw her at the Inner Court Entrance Hunt, some information did flash through his mind, but at that time, she wasn't important so he suppressed his thoughts.

But now, as she was about to sit in front of him, many thoughts and a lot of information became clearer in his head.

He remembered that this young lady wasn't a prominent character in the happenings at the Gracious Sword Sect until the beginning of the Grand Spirit Hunt. It was then she began to truly establish herself on not just her cultivation speed but also on her battle prowess and instincts.

But was made him feel good was, that this lady in front of him is soon going to make things very difficult for Xiao Ming.

Intentionally or not, she was going to be the root of many problems in his life. And all this was going to start from their very first meeting.

Yuan Shuchun was part of the Heavenly League, and this was known to all. Her presence itself signified her purpose. Though earlier none of the disciples really cared about what was going on around them and were only focused on memorizing the manuals in front of them, when Yuan Shuchun entered the Third Floor, all attention was now on her. Her action of sitting in front of a new Inner Court disciple also attracted the gazes of many on the disciple.

Knowledgable disciples knew what her purpose was and Ye Tian Yun was included among them.

Yuan Shuchun sat down and with a calm expression, she replied, "Hello, Disciple Fang Chen. I am Yuan Shuchun and I want you to come to the Heaven's Grace Banquet tonight."

Ye Tian Yun stared at her, unblinking. 'Did she just ordered me to come to the banquet?'

Yuan Shuchun continued when she saw no response from him, "Many of the top disciples of the Hunt will also be joining you, the atmosphere will surely be lively."

Ye Tian Yun took a moment to think and nodded in response, "I will be glad to join the banquet."

Yuan Shuchun smiled and got up. With a simple sentence, she took her leave, "It's good that you agreed. You are different from that bastard I met last night."

Ye Tian Yun was surprised at her response, 'She already met Xiao Ming? Things will be interesting at the banquet.'

As he looked at Yuan Shuchun leaving the hall, he tried to refresh his memory about the chaos which was currently going on in the sect.

...

If we consider the whole Lower Heavens, then the Gracious Sword Sect would at most be considered an average sect. However, the talented disciples of this sect can easily be ranked as the cream of the crop.

There was Jiang Yun, who has already proved himself to be one of the most powerful cultivators in the younger generation of the Lower Heavens in the previous Grand Spirit Hunt when he defeated top disciples of many powerful sects, and all this happened five years ago.

Right now, it is instilled in the mind of everyone at the Gracious Sword Sect that Jiang Yun will definitely lead them to greater heights.

And just when everyone was starting to see hope in Jiang Yun, another star rose. Yuan Shuchun. A female disciple who was seemingly even more talented than Jiang Yun and in due time, if nothing unfortunate happened, she was going to surpass him.

Yuan Shuchun joined the sect at an early age, and even though there are rumors of her having a powerful background, she started from the bottom, joining as an Outer Court Disciple.

Her rise was unstoppable, and within a few years, she became a core disciple.

With Jiang Yun and Yuan Shuchun, the elders and disciples were quite reassured about the Grand Spirit Hunt. Until, last year that is.

Last year, slowly, infighting and schemes started between the inner and core elders of the sect. Soon the sect was divided into two factions, each led by the Sect Leader and the Grand Elder.

Though these small conflicts and skirmishes between the two factions were just due to the panacea which was going to be presented as the reward of the Grand Spirit Hunt, it soon took a serious turn when even the core disciples started to get involved in this.

With the addition of core disciples, the other inner disciples who followed them also became a part of this supposed conflict of two powerhouses of the Gracious Sword Sect.

While the elders restrain themselves from openly fighting each other, the disciples were different. Most of them were hot-blooded teenagers who started fighting over just a little incident.

The disciples clashed, made enemies, and then those enemies took revenge, which then created more enemies, and this became an unending cycle.

However, this was still controllable. But what made things serious was when some elders and disciples were ambushed and killed in the Xin-Wu battlefront while facing against the beast tide.

This incident was then spiced up even more by an unknown faction which resulted in humiliation for the whole sect because the pieces of evidence, witnesses, and survivors of the incident claimed that the masked ambushers were undoubtedly part of the Gracious Sword Sect. Due to these claims, few nearby factions got the hint of the infighting and upon little spying and research, they found out about the ongoing chaos in the Gracious Sword Sect.

These factions didn't back down from making their findings public and joined the unknown faction into turning the Gracious Sword Sect into a laughing stock of the whole Xin Kingdom.
