Hua Mancheng officially joined the Nine Heavens Pavilion when he was twelve years old. From then on, he trained himself day and night, just to fight for his life and continue to live. He forced himself into becoming a tool.
But no one would have imagined that the handsome young man in white robes, whom everyone looked up to, was actually a ruthless demon.
"Controlling the Nine Heavens" is said to be the most profound skill of the Nine Heavens Pavilion. Mastering it to the ninth level is said to grant one unparalleled dominance over the world.
In the past, disciples in the sect would take more than ten years to learn even 30% of the techniques. However, Hua Mancheng only took three years to master the entire set of techniques with ease, achieving what ordinary people could not. He was hailed as a genius and was appointed as the Pavilion Master of the Nine Heavens Pavilion at the age of fourteen.
Nine Heavens Pavilion has always had an unbreakable rule: only the Pavilion Master is qualified to see their leader.
He was granted the highest command at the age of fifteen, and it was from that moment that he saw Mu Linyuan's true face. At the same time, he learned about the royal secrets he had never heard of before, including the deeds of the emperor and all the civil and military officials. This meant that the mission of the Nine Heavens Pavilion was far more important than his own.
Hua Mancheng was a cold-blooded and ruthless man. For more than ten years, he had never experienced joy or pain while wandering the world, because he always felt that he was just a lonely ghost in the human world. His greatest wish in life was to keep living desperately.
It wasn't until he met Yu Qianqian that he felt that such a clever, quirky, and righteous woman should be considered a real person with flesh and blood, and only when he was with her did he feel a sense of belonging and warmth.
From a young age, Hua Mancheng crawled out of piles of corpses time and time again, relying entirely on his willpower. At the age of twelve, when a boy should be learning etiquette, he was forced to survive in dangerous situations, repeatedly risking his life.
He knew that people in the martial arts world were treacherous, but he couldn't discern the true nature of romantic feelings between men and women. He himself couldn't even figure out what kind of feelings he had for Yu Qianqian.
Looking up at the sky, the night seemed even darker, and a dark shadow darted past in the distance through the forest, accompanied by the rustling of the wind.
With a leap, he traveled several miles, then, relying on his keen hearing, he pinpointed the source of the sound. After a few leaps, he chased after it and easily stumbled upon the dark figure.
The mysterious figure in black blended into the shadows beneath the tree, making it impossible to discern his face even up close.
"Sect Master..." The mysterious man knelt down on one knee, but his words were cut off by a cold look from Hua Mancheng.
In a daze, he glanced back and saw that the people in the dilapidated temple were still fast asleep, and he couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
"No matter what happens, we need to get out of here first." Hua Mancheng said this with an unusually flustered tone.
I still remember Mu Linyuan's secret order before his death: the identity of any disciple of the Nine Heavens Pavilion must not be revealed, otherwise one of them will die.
He didn't want to be caught in a dilemma when the truth came out, so he absolutely couldn't let her know about this.
He glanced at the people in the dilapidated temple across the way, hesitated for a moment, then quickly turned and disappeared into the dark night along with the man in black.
