"Suck it! Suck it harder, you useless bitch!"

Gu Chen’s furious voice echoed through his lavish, private quarters.

He was standing naked in the center of his bedroom, and his trademark pristine white robes were discarded on the floor.

"Put that mouth of yours to good use!" His hands were violently tangled in the dark hair of a young, terrified servant girl kneeling between his legs.

But now matter how hard she tried, the servant girl was too scared to please him properly.

Angry, Gu Chen yanked her head back roughly, forcing her to look up at him.

"Do your damn job!" Gu Chen spat, his handsome face contorted into a mask of fury.

And with that he pushed his cock between her lips yet again.

Beside her, a second naked servant girl shivered on the edge of the bed.

Gu Chen reached out and grabbed the girl’s breast, and squeezed the soft flesh so hard that his fingernails digging in deep enough to leave bloody half-moons on her pale skin.

"Ah! Young Master, it hurts!" the girl on the bed cried out, tears spilling down her cheeks.

"Shut up!" Gu Chen grabbed her by the chin as he leaned in, looking angrily at her, "Didn’t you say you will don’t everything to please me?"

"Yes, Young Master!" The girl nodded through the years in her eyes.

"Then make it hard."

Despite having two naked, beautiful women completely at his mercy, his cock was entirely limp, like a dead piece of meat.

Every time he closed his eyes, he didn’t feel pleasure. He saw Gu Fan’s dirt-smudged face leaning against that counting table. He heard the deafening silence of the plaza as that impossible score flashed on the screen.

"That cripple!" Gu Chen muttered feeling the rage boil inside his heart.

Finally when his heart could not take it enough, he kicked the kneeling servant girl in the shoulder, sending her sprawling across the floor.

"Get out! Both of you, get the fuck out of my sight before I kill you!"

The two naked girls didn’t hesitate. They scrambled to their feet, sobbing uncontrollably, and grabbed their dresses before sprinting out of the heavy oak doors, leaving Gu Chen completely alone.

"Gu Fan! Gu Fan! GU FAN!!" Gu Chen screamed at the top of his voice we he grabbed a heavy porcelain vase from a nearby stand and hurled it across the room, shattering it into a thousand pieces against the stone wall, "How?! How dare you?!"

It was supposed to be his greatest achievement. He was supposed to save the Gu Clan and spread his brilliance not just in the Poison Valley Town, but among the Ye and Chen Clans as well.

For that he suffered through hell, nearly dying to trigger his second awakening in that empty tomb. He was supposed to be invincible after that.

But the power felt completely hollow.

"Why?!" Gu Chen screamed at the ceiling, his chest heaving as he stood in the wreckage of his room. "I am the chosen one! You chose me!"

"Then how did a cripple beat me?!"

But instead of getting an answer, he suddenly felt a sharp, stabbing pain piercing his skull.

"Argh!" Gu Chen dropped on his knees, clutching his face.

His eyes began to bleed, as two thin trails of blood leaked from his tear ducts.

His ’Righteous Heavenly Eyes’ were throbbing violently, activating against his will.

Fragmented, blurry visions violently flashed in his mind.

And he suddenly found himself in the sanctum of the Sovereign’s tomb. He saw the empty black pedestal.

And then, he saw a shadow. It was a tall, broad-shouldered man with a heavy weapon strapped to his waist, laughing mockingly as he claimed the blue flame that was meant for Gu Chen.

The face was entirely blurred by a strange, chaotic interference, but the sheer arrogance of the shadow stung Gu Chen’s soul.

"Who?!" Gu Chen roared, falling to his knees in the debris, "Who stole my destiny?!"

Suddenly the heavy oak doors to his quarters suddenly slid open, shattering the vision in front of him.

Gu Chen snapped his head up, his bloody eyes glaring at the doorway. "I told you to stay out...!"

But the words died in his throat, as it wasn’t a servant who dare disturb him. It was not of the Envoys of the Chen Clan.

The lead representative of the powerful Chen Clan stood in the doorway.

He was dressed in immaculate, dark crimson robes who looked at Gu Chen’s naked, trembling body, and the shattered room around him, with absolute, undisguised disgust.

"Put your pants on, Gu Chen," Envoy Chen said coldly, "You look like a castrated dog."

Gu Chen’s face flushed purple with supreme humiliation. He scrambled to grab his white trousers from the floor, quickly pulling them up.

"How dare you speak to me like that?" Gu Chen growled, his pride forcing him to stand tall, "I am the future Patriarch of this clan!"

Envoy Chen didn’t even blink against Gu Chen’s outburst as he took a single step into the room.

BOOM!

The Envoy released a fraction of his Origin Realm pressure which felt like a physical mountain dropping onto Gu Chen’s shoulders.

The Golden Boy’s aura was instantly crushed, and his knees buckled violently, and he slammed back down onto the floor, completely paralyzed.

"You are nothing," Envoy Chen stated, his voice devoid of any warmth, "And for the Chen Clan, you seem like a failed investment."

Envoy Chen slowly walked around the shattered room, kicking a piece of broken porcelain aside.

"My clan backed you because you were supposed to be the undisputed genius of Poison Valley Town," Envoy Chen continued, looking down at Gu Chen with cold, dead eyes.

"You were supposed to protect Chen Long. He died under your roof, mutilated like a pig."

"You were supposed to crush the Bai Clan in this hunt. Instead, you showed up late with scraps."

"I broke through to the 9th Stage of Spirit Realm!" Gu Chen argued desperately through gritted teeth, fighting the pressure, "I am stronger than anyone in my generation!"

"You still believe that?" Envoy Chen mocked cruelly, "Did you forget that Bai Clan girl?"

"And not to forget that a boy without a Dantian completely outsmarted you."

"He secured the Spirit Mines and completely humiliated the Bai Clan. Gu Fan did your job, Gu Chen. And he did it effortlessly."

Gu Chen’s heart pounded against his ribs, hearing Gu Fan’s name from the Envoy’s mouth felt like a knife twisting in his gut.

"The Chen Clan does not back losers," the Chen clan Envoy delivered the cold, harsh reality. "We don’t care about your potential if you can’t deliver results. I am giving you one final ultimatum, boy."

The Envoy leaned down, grabbing Gu Chen by the front of his hair.

"There won’t be a second chance," the Envoy whispered dangerously, "Prove to me that you are the undisputed leader of this town."

"Unite the power of the Gu Clan entirely under your control. If you fail to prove your worth, you better hide your worthless life. Because the Chen Clan isn’t like your servant girls. We will chop you into pieces and won’t even feed you to our dogs."

Envoy Chen let go of his hair, letting Gu Chen slump back onto the floor.

"And if we leave," Envoy Chen sneered, walking back toward the door, "the Bai Clan and the Ye Clan will slaughter your entire clan within a month and won’t leave anything for you to rule."

"Think about that while you play with your whores."

The heavy oak doors slammed shut.

Gu Chen was left kneeling in the debris. He was covered in a cold sweat. The panic was absolute.

If the Chen Clan withdrew their support, his future was entirely dead. The Patriarch would strip him of his title. The elders would abandon him. He would be nothing.

"No," Gu Chen breathed heavily, his eyes wide and manic. "No, I am the chosen one. I will not lose."

He needed absolute, undeniable power where no one can dare to threaten him ever again.

He needed to reach the Origin Realm as quickly as possible

But to break through, he needed a massive, pure source of energy.

He needed a furnace.

Gu Ling!

The Gu Clan genius clan sister.

The Ice Fairy.

She was at the 1st Stage of the Spirit Realm, and her talent was unquestionable.

Most importantly, her Yin energy was completely untouched, she was a pure virgin.

There was an ancient, highly forbidden dual cultivation technique that he received when his Heavenly Eyes achieved the Second stage. The ’Celestial Unification Art’.

It wasn’t a standard, balanced dual cultivation method. It was a parasitic, one-way siphon.

By taking a high-talent virgin, the user could forcefully drain every single drop of her cultivation, sending her at least a few years back in her cultivation.

Gu Chen’s breathing grew ragged.

"But it is for the good of the clan," Gu Chen muttered to himself, his twisted, righteous hypocrisy taking complete control of his logic.

"If the Chen Clan abandons us, the Bai Clan will invade. Gu Ling will be captured. She will be defiled and tortured by Bai Yun and his dogs. I cannot let that happen."

He convinced himself that destroying her life was a noble sacrifice.

"I am saving her," Gu Chen whispered as a smile spread across his face.

"You are all just stepping stones," Gu Chen sneered into the empty room, his bloody eyes burning with madness.

"And I am your salvation!"
