Villain: I transmigrated with Mind Control Powers

Chapter 67: Chapter 67: Ye Chen, A Demonic Cultivator?

Aric felt an exhilarating rush of power coursing through him as he stood over Sylvia Song's lifeless body. The thrill of victory and the satisfaction of a well-executed plan brought a rare smile to his lips. He could feel the energy within him vibrating with newfound intensity, almost as if the very act of eliminating Sylvia had unlocked a deeper reservoir of his potential.

Curious about his current state, Aric mentally called out to the system.

"System, why didn't I face any backlash after killing her? She was supposed to be a significant figure, yet it felt almost too easy."

[Ding! Host, your Villain Halo has grown significantly stronger, allowing you to suppress the Daughter of Destiny with ease. Her Protagonist Halo, which once offered her protection and fortune, has already diminished due to your previous actions. Thus, her defenses were weakened, making it possible for you to eliminate her without facing any significant resistance.]

The system's explanation resonated with Aric, filling him with a sense of gratification. The idea that his own power had grown to the point where he could overpower figures like Sylvia without consequence pleased him greatly. It confirmed what he had always believed—his destiny was to dominate, to conquer, and to bend fate to his will.

"Perfect," Aric muttered, feeling immensely satisfied. If Sylvia's death had been that easy, then there was no reason to hesitate in his next move. It was time to frame Ye Chen for this kill.

Aric quickly devised a plan. He left the grove, carefully ensuring that some items and techniques connected to Ye Chen were scattered around the scene. These were no ordinary objects; they were items that could be traced back to Ye Chen through various means—spiritual signatures, unique engravings, and techniques that only Ye Chen had used in the sect.

This would make it seem as though Ye Chen had been the one to kill Sylvia, ensuring that the blame would fall squarely on him. The thought of turning the entire sect's ire against Ye Chen made Aric's smile widen.

Once everything was in place, Aric departed from the grove, leaving behind a perfectly orchestrated scene of deceit. His footsteps were light, his mood elevated as he anticipated the chaos that would ensue.

Upon arriving at his villa, Aric was greeted by Ulsa, Mia, Alicia, Zhen Yu, and Bai Ling. The sight of them took his breath away—they were dressed in revealing, seductive outfits that accentuated their curves and beauty, their eyes filled with a mix of desire and admiration for him. Each of them was a stunning vision of sensuality, and the way they looked at him made Aric's pulse quicken.

The atmosphere in the villa was charged with an erotic tension as they led him inside. What followed was an intense night of passion. The women lavished their attention on him, and Aric reveled in the pleasure, their bodies entwined in a dance of raw desire and unbridled lust. The room was filled with their heated breaths and soft moans as they lost themselves in the ecstasy of the moment.

By the time the night ended, they had all satisfied each other multiple times, leaving them in a state of blissful exhaustion.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the continent, Ye Chen's world was falling apart. He had just received devastating news—his village had been destroyed, and the couple who had adopted him as their son had been brutally murdered. The words felt like daggers in his heart, each syllable driving deeper into his soul.

Rage and grief battled for control within him, his fists clenching so tightly that his knuckles turned white.

Who could have done this? Ye Chen's mind raced, desperately trying to piece together who would want to harm him in such a cruel way. The peaceful life he had once known was now nothing more than a shattered memory, and the thought of his adoptive parents lying dead filled him with a dark resolve.

But he decided not act recklessly and get stronger first and then take revenge.

"I will find the ones responsible," Ye Chen vowed through gritted teeth. His eyes burned with a fiery determination. Whoever had done this would pay dearly. The only way to honor the memory of his parents was to track down the culprits and exact his revenge, no matter the cost.

After waking from his night of indulgence, Aric casually checked the system for the rewards he had gained from his latest machinations. A series of notifications flashed before his eyes, and a smirk tugged at his lips as he read through them.?

[Ding! Congratulations, host! You have gained +1000 Villain Halo and +10,000 Villain Points for spreading rumors about the protagonist Ye Chen.]

[Ding! Congratulations, host! You have gained +1000 Villain Halo and +10,000 Villain Points for angering the protagonist Ye Chen.]

[Ding! Congratulations, host! You have gained Phoenix Fire for killing the Daughter of Destiny, Sylvia Song, for the first time.]

Aric's lips curled into a satisfied smirk as he reviewed his status. The Phoenix Fire, a rare and potent force, added to his arsenal, making him even more formidable.

"I'll save up for something big," Aric thought, his eyes gleaming with ambition. The thought of the next major upgrade or acquisition filled him with anticipation. Each step forward was a step closer to total domination.

Meanwhile, in various parts of the Velara Continent, the powerful Shen, Wu, Qiao, and Han Families received a letter from Aric. The heads of these families, upon reading the letter, were initially taken aback. They had long thought the Ye Family was no longer a threat, but the letter suggested otherwise.

Concerned and unwilling to leave anything to chance, they each decided to send their elite teams to track down and eliminate Ye Chen.

As preparations were underway to hunt down Ye Chen, the Starry Sky Sect was bustling with excitement. The annual competition was about to begin, an event that every disciple eagerly awaited. This competition was a crucial opportunity for outer disciples to prove themselves and potentially earn a place among the inner disciples.

Conversely, it also posed a risk for current inner disciples, who could be demoted to outer disciples if they performed poorly.

The competition was more than just a test of strength and skill; it was a rite of passage. The sect elders observed closely, assessing each disciple's potential and determination. The stakes were high, and the atmosphere was charged with anticipation. For many, this was the moment that would define their future in the sect.

Ye Chen, despite the turmoil in his personal life, was not one to back down from a challenge. The news of his village's destruction and the murder of his adoptive parents had fueled his determination to grow stronger. He knew that participating in the competition was crucial—it was a chance to gain more resources, recognition, and perhaps clues about who was behind the attacks on his life.

With every passing moment, Ye Chen's resolve hardened, and his desire for revenge grew more intense.

As the annual competition of the Starry Sky Sect drew closer, excitement and tension filled the air. However, a different kind of rumor began to spread among the disciples—whispers that Ye Chen might be a demonic cultivator. The rumors were subtle at first, mere murmurs in the corners of the training grounds, but they soon grew louder, fueled by jealousy and fear of Ye Chen's rapid rise in power.

"Did you hear? Ye Chen's strength has grown too quickly. It's unnatural."

"They say he might have dabbled in forbidden techniques... could he be a demonic cultivator?"

"I wouldn't be surprised. How else could he have progressed so fast?"

These words spread like wildfire, infecting the minds of many disciples. Suspicion and fear began to overshadow the respect Ye Chen had earned through his hard work. The rumors, carefully planted by Aric's schemes, took root, causing a ripple of distrust throughout the sect.

The sect elders, always vigilant for any signs of demonic cultivation, could not ignore the growing unrest. The Starry Sky Sect had strict rules against such practices, and any disciple found guilty of demonic cultivation would face severe punishment or even execution.

The rumors surrounding Ye Chen reached their ears, and although many of them doubted the validity of the claims, they could not allow such accusations to go unchecked.

"Ye Chen," one of the elders commanded, "you are to present yourself for an examination immediately. We must determine whether these rumors hold any truth."
