Villain System: Stealing the Protagonist's Harem and Luck

Chapter 102: Myriad Dao Banquet; Here to See My Fiancée

Daootian Immortal Palace, Supreme Peak.

The moment the pillar of divine light pierced the clouds deep within the sect, Gu Changge noticed it.

He knew immediately that this was not the true opening of the Immortal Road. When the real path emerged, the phenomenon would be earth-shattering—far beyond what a single Elder could conceal with a wave of his hand. This was merely a precursor. An omen.

However, the damage was done. The “Immortal Treasure” of the Daootian Immortal Palace had been exposed to the world, pushing the sect into the eye of the storm.

No matter how domineering the Grand Elder was, he couldn’t single-handedly withstand the pressure of the entire Inner Domain. The Immortal Great Sects, the Supreme Orthodoxies, the Immemorial Immortal Clans, and even the Immortal Gu Family were watching like hungry wolves.

Who would voluntarily give up such a massive Fated Chance? Everyone wanted a piece of the pie.

In the end, the Grand Elder would have no choice but to compromise. The forbidden depths of the Daootian Immortal Palace would be opened to outsiders.

For Gu Changge, this was excellent news.

He had been racking his brain for a way to sneak into the forbidden area. Now, the front door was about to be kicked open for him.

“The Grand Elder despises me, but soon he won’t have a choice,” Gu Changge mused, a playful smile touching his lips. “When the disciples of other Orthodoxies come knocking, who else can he rely on to uphold the sect’s dignity?”

“He’ll have to beg me to step up.”

He chuckled.

Among the current generation of the Daootian Immortal Palace, no one dared to oppose him anymore. The other four True Disciples were either in seclusion or firmly under his thumb. Even the mysterious Yin Mei, the Heavenly Maiden of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan, was his pawn.

“Jin Zhou is in seclusion. Tian Yang and Zhong Tianyuan have also retreated from the world after witnessing my power. I practically own this place now.”

“All that’s left is to infiltrate the Elders’ council with my own people.”

Gu Changge stood up and walked out of his palace.

A massive entourage of followers, including several lower-ranking True Disciples, fell in behind him as he headed toward the mountain gate.

Gu Xianer was currently locked away by the Grand Elder on the highest peak, forbidden from leaving until she broke through to the Conferred Lord Realm. Gu Changge had no intention of visiting her and getting slapped by the old man again.

Everything in moderation. Pushing too hard breaks the string.

“The Daootian Ancient City is bustling with guests from every major power. It’s the perfect time to go meet some ‘old friends’.”

Simultaneously, he wanted to investigate the Son of Providence the System had alerted him to. Since the System had flagged it, the target couldn’t be far.

As Gu Changge’s divine rainbow streaked across the sky, disciples below looked up with reverence and envy.

“True Disciple Gu is leaving the sect!”

“Even after offending the Grand Elder, he acts as he pleases. No one can restrain him!”

Daootian Ancient City.

Chaotian Pavilion.

This was a magnificent complex of floating pagodas and palaces belonging to the Myriad Dao Merchant Alliance. Backed by multiple Immortal Great Sects, its foundations were unfathomably deep. It was a place reserved for heavyweights and supreme geniuses.

The pavilion was a paradise on earth. The ground was paved with glazed tiles, rare orchids scented the air, and exotic beasts roamed freely among spirit mountains shrouded in mist.

Today, the pavilion was packed with the elite of the younger generation.

Young men with the stride of dragons and tigers walked in, their bodies glowing with divine light. Women with the beauty of fairies arrived in flying carriages, their auras ethereal and aloof.

The appearance of the “Immortal Treasure” had drawn them all here. Though the older generation couldn’t shamelessly swarm the sect just yet, they had sent their best juniors to scout the situation.

Any person here was a famous genius in the outside world.

“The Sect sent us here because they are confident we can enter,” a young creature with silver wings declared arrogantly.

“Don’t be naive,” a young man wreathed in pale purple Netherfire sneered. “The depths of the Daootian Immortal Palace contain a fragment of the Immortal Ancient Continent. The opportunities there are endless. If I were them, I’d hoard it all. Do you really think they’ll just let us in?”

The crowd fell silent. The speaker was a genius from the Netherworld, known for burning his enemies to ash. His words held weight.

“Speaking of the Daootian Immortal Palace… we have to consider the Young Master of the Gu Family,” a blue-haired youth from an Immemorial Sea Clan said gravely. “With him present, seizing any opportunity will be… difficult.”

The atmosphere instantly grew heavy.

Gu Changge.

A Mid-Stage Conferred King. A monster who crushed fellow Young Supremes like bugs. He was an insurmountable mountain pressing down on their generation.

“However,” someone whispered with a strange smile, “I heard Gu Changge is at odds with the Grand Elder. It’s not certain he will stand on the sect’s side when the chaos starts.”

Suddenly, a commotion erupted outside.

Step. Step. Step.

A peerlessly beautiful girl in purple walked through the void. With each step, lotuses of the Great Dao bloomed beneath her feet. Her eyes were like gemstones, her expression calm and noble.

“Who is that?”

The crowd was stunned by her beauty, but their gaze quickly shifted to the man walking half a step behind her.

He was heroic and imposing, clad in golden armor that shone like the sun. Phenomena of True Dragons, Vermilion Birds, and Black Tortoises floated around him, heralding his arrival.

“It’s him! The Successor of the Immemorial Ye Clan!”

“Ye Langtian! The Reincarnation of an Ancient Emperor!”

The pavilion exploded with whispers. Ye Langtian was one of the few Young Supremes considered a true rival to Gu Changge. His presence confirmed that the Immemorial Ye Clan was getting involved.

“Greetings, Young Master Ye!”

Cultivators bowed respectfully from all sides. Ye Langtian nodded in return, his demeanor regal but not arrogant.

“Brother, do you think Gu Changge will come?” the purple-clad girl, Ye Liuli, asked, scanning the room with disappointment.

“As the host, how could Brother Gu not come?” Ye Langtian smiled.

He proceeded to introduce his sister to the gathered elites, sparking a fresh wave of interest. A Princess of the Ye Clan was a prize any man would covet.

Just then, a booming, mocking voice cut through the polite chatter.

“Ye Langtian! I heard you got your ass kicked by a collateral branch disciple a few days ago! Is it true you barely managed a draw?”

A burly man strode in. He wore animal skins, and his forehead bore the white markings of a tiger. His blood energy roared like a furnace, and his killing intent was palpable.

“Young Master of the White Tiger Clan, Bai Lie!”

“Another Young Supreme!”

The crowd gasped. The White Tiger Clan was an Immemorial Imperial Clan, famous for their ultimate Geng Metal power—the sharpest offensive force in the realm. Bai Lie was their strongest genius in ten thousand years, possessing a bloodline nearing ancestral reversion.

But his words were even more shocking.

Ye Langtian… fought to a draw with a collateral disciple?

Ye Langtian’s expression darkened slightly. “I didn’t expect the news to spread so fast. That guy’s methods were… bizarre. And I was suppressing my cultivation. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been so rampant.”

His admission caused an uproar. It was true!

Bai Lie laughed loudly. “Of course I know! Ye Ling is my sworn brother, after all! But I didn’t come here just to poke at your scars.”

“Then why are you here?” Ye Langtian asked coldly.

“I’m here to see my fiancée!” Bai Lie grinned, looking extremely pleased with himself.

The crowd realized immediately. Bai Lie was engaged to Yin Mei, the Nine-Life Heavenly Maiden of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan, who was currently a True Disciple at the Daootian Immortal Palace.

Suddenly, the herald outside shouted, his voice trembling with awe.

“The Young Master of the Immortal Gu Family has arrived!”
