Great Villain: Starting by Humiliating the Son of the Heavenly Fate - Chapter 243

Chapter 243: The True Bloodline Chapter 243: The True Bloodline Afterward, Jiang Chen took out his transmission jade token and sent a message to Ji Yilan: “Aunt Ji Yilan, I’ve located the island where Gu Ran is likely to land.

It’s in the southeast… Keep a close watch for any unusual movements along his route, and remember, we can’t scare him off.” “What!” Ji Yilan exclaimed, shocked by Jiang Chen’s message.

She quickly responded, wanting to be sure she hadn’t misread.

“Nephew Jiang Chen, you know where Gu Ran will land?” At the same time, she wondered aloud, “How did he manage that?

It’s hard to believe.” But when she recalled Jiang Chen’s past feat-defeating a Transcendence realm powerhouse-her shock turned to respect.

Once Jiang Chen confirmed, Ji Yilan got to work.

She passed along his orders to members of the Ageless Spirit Heavenly Sect stationed nearby, instructing them to watch for any developments along Gu Ran’s path and to help track his location.

She also sent Jiang Chen a detailed map, marked with teleportation arrays for both short and long-distance travel.

The routes Gu Ran might use were carefully mapped.

Jiang Chen’s destination, the island where Gu Ran would likely land, was Black Wood Island.

Jiang Chen noted that there was no direct teleportation route to the island, meaning Gu Ran would need to travel part of the way by air or sea.

Deep in thought, Jiang Chen pondered why Gu Ran had chosen Black Wood Island as his destination.

The first possibility that came to mind was that Gu Ran was exceptionally cautious, deliberately making this choice to throw off pursuers.

Typically, fugitives tried to get as far away as possible by the quickest routes.

But Gu Ran had done the opposite!

The second possibility was that Black Wood Island held something important to him.

As Jiang Chen considered this last possibility, a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

He was certain he’d found the answer.

With that, he bid farewell to Ji Yilan and the others, taking the map with him as he left Ageless Spirit Heavenly Island.

Naturally, many offered to accompany him, but Jiang Chen firmly refused them all.

This was no ordinary mission-he was going to confront the protagonist!

If supporting characters like Ji Yilan joined, it would likely alert the enemy and hinder his progress.

…

As Jiang Chen departed from Ageless Spirit Heavenly Island, a colossal vessel was speeding across a distant stretch of sea.

This was no ordinary ferry but a hunting ship, scouring the waters for marine beasts to capture.

Rarely was it ever used for passengers.

Currently, the cabin was bustling with cultivators, unaware of a hidden, invisible figure in a grimy corner.

In that dirt-filled crevice, Gu Ran lay concealed, sitting cross-legged with a cold, unyielding expression, his lips tightly pressed together.

But beneath this calm exterior, a storm of emotions raged.

‘Bai Ling, you heartless woman!’ he seethed inwardly.

‘Damn it, damn it all!’ The thoughts gnawed at him.

‘I was sincere with you, and you betrayed me for mere cultivation resources?’ A bitter smile tugged at his lips.

‘You helped those Jing Clan lackeys steal my bloodline, only to end up with nothing but a ticket to the afterlife.’ The fury within him grew fiercer.

‘I should have been the one to kill you!’ His fists clenched tightly, each heartbeat fueling his overwhelming rage.

He had once believed the affection and warmth she showed him were genuine, meant to last forever.

Since childhood, Bai Ling had been his light, the one who’d let him taste the sweetness of love.

He had cherished her, holding her dear.

But now, he knew it had all been a cruel illusion.

In the face of ambition and the longing for immortality, people would stop at nothing-even commit vile acts.

Because of the powerful bloodline within him, he had been forced to confront this brutal truth, shattering his once-naive heart.

It was only after a near-death experience that Gu Ran discovered the existence of the Ten Thousand Stars Dao Embryo Bloodline within him.

Initially, he’d had no idea it existed, much less that he possessed such a rare lineage.

Even when he’d been tricked into surrendering his bloodline to save Bai Ling, the excuse given by those behind her had nothing to do with the Ten Thousand Stars Dao Embryo Bloodline.

‘All of you scum from the Ageless Spirit Heavenly Sect,’ Gu Ran thought, a sinister sneer twisting his face, ‘you could never have imagined that I’d come back from the brink of death!

And even less so that the Ten Thousand Stars Dao Embryo Bloodline you extracted from me was suppressing my true bloodline!’ ‘Hahaha, I should almost thank you.

Had you not deceived me into giving up the Ten Thousand Stars Dao Embryo Bloodline, my Endless Dark Blood Moon Bloodline would still be sealed!’ ‘Without it awakened, I would have been forever stunted in my cultivation, unable to reach the Inquiring Journey realm, even on my deathbed.’ ‘But don’t think that accidentally helping me will spare you from my wrath!’ ‘You dared to toy with my feelings, disregard my life and dignity…

I will return all of it a hundredfold!’ Mad cries echoed within Gu Ran, his heart blazing with fury and resentment that only his vengeful thoughts could release.

A moment later, as his raging emotions finally began to calm, he started to sense the vast power of his true bloodline.

Since his revival, Gu Ran’s Endless Dark Blood Moon Bloodline had fully broken free from its shackles.

Not only had his physique transformed dramatically, but his cognitive abilities had sharpened as well, making him less awkward and clumsy.

In addition, the Endless Dark Blood Moon Bloodline held a trove of knowledge, detailing its origins and functions.

The specifics of its origin, however, remained unclear.

All Gu Ran knew was that his bloodline was connected to an exceptionally powerful cultivator named Rangsi Kangcheng.

Occasionally, fragments of memories that didn’t belong to him would flash through his mind, though these instances were rare.

The functions of his bloodline, on the other hand, were much clearer.

As the bearer of the Endless Dark Blood Moon Bloodline, he could directly absorb a portion of the pure cultivation base from any powerful opponent he defeated, claiming it as his own!

The more he slew, especially stronger adversaries, the more powerful his bloodline grew, allowing him to accumulate even greater strength.

Despite this potential, Gu Ran remained highly cautious.

Right after his resurrection, while on the run, he was attacked by a demonic beast.

Rather than fight, he chose to escape.

Throughout his journey, he avoided killing anyone.

Gu Ran knew that, in his current state, he stood no chance against the Ageless Spirit Heavenly Sect.

His immediate strategy was simple: stay hidden and survive.
