Chapter 249: Time Passes By and Wang Li Becomes Complacent
Wang Li’s life had settled into a comfortable rhythm of power, pleasure, and conquest. With Lin Yun’s reputation shattered, there was little opposition to his rise within the Devil Sects. His influence continued to grow as more of the sect’s elders and disciples turned their loyalty to him, each step fueled by Lin Yun’s disgrace.
Wang Li basked in his newfound supremacy, indulging in the luxuries his position afforded. His wives, mistresses, and even his mother-in-law, each breathtakingly beautiful in their own way, surrounded him like a court of goddesses. Their presence brought him both joy and power, for they were not merely decorations but powerful cultivators in their own right, contributing to the strength of his Holy Devil Dragon Sect.
His children, too, were growing quickly, each showing signs of immense potential, inheriting the strength of their father and the beauty of their mothers. His sons were as formidable as they were intelligent, while his daughters were radiant, already gaining attention from sect members despite their young age. Wang Li’s household was the embodiment of success, with every facet of his life flourishing.
In the dimly lit chamber of his grand palace, Wang Li lounged on a luxurious couch, his arms wrapped around two of his most devoted mistresses. One was Li Yuechan, a captivating beauty from the Shadow Moon Sect. Her hair flowed like silk, cascading down her back, while her sharp, cunning eyes never missed a detail. Her submission to Wang Li had been total after he captured her during one of his raids. Her nights were now filled with nothing but devotion and passion for him.
On his other side was Yan Shiyao, a fiery temptress from the Blood Phoenix Sect. Her crimson robes barely covered her voluptuous figure, and her fiery personality had made her a fierce warrior. But beneath that fire, she had become completely enamored by Wang Li’s strength, submitting both her body and heart after their intimate encounter.
Their presence, though satisfying, only fueled Wang Li’s ambition. His conquest of the beauties within the Devil Sects had become as much a strategic maneuver as a personal indulgence. Each woman he claimed brought with her valuable knowledge, secrets, and influence over her sect, further consolidating Wang Li’s position.
But even as Wang Li reveled in his victories, enjoying his life with his ever-expanding harem and his growing children, Lin Yun, the disgraced former hero of the Devil Sects, was not as defeated as he seemed.
Though Wang Li had humiliated Lin Yun and stripped him of his reputation, the fate of a protagonist was not something that could be so easily broken. Misfortune, for someone like Lin Yun, was not an end but a crucible—one that would forge him into something even stronger.
Far from the eyes of Wang Li and his gloating allies, Lin Yun had begun to gather his strength in secret. The humiliation he had suffered had shaken him to the core, but in the depths of that despair, a new resolve had been born. The fate of a protagonist had begun to work in Lin Yun’s favor, turning the very misfortune that had crippled him into an opportunity for growth.
While Wang Li enjoyed his victories, Lin Yun found himself alone in a secluded mountain range, deep within the forgotten ruins of an ancient sect. These ruins, abandoned for centuries, were said to hold the secrets of a long-lost cultivation art, one so powerful that it had been buried to prevent its misuse. Lin Yun, driven by desperation, had discovered the existence of these ruins through his own fate and set out to unlock their secrets.
As Lin Yun meditated within the core chamber of the ruins, his mind cleared of all distractions, he felt the ancient energy surge into him. It was a cultivation technique known as the Heavenly Demon Rebirth Art, a forbidden power that could transform one’s weaknesses into strength. The art was dangerous, for it required the user to confront and embrace their darkest desires and weaknesses, but for Lin Yun, it was the key to regaining what he had lost.
The dark energy flooded through his veins, rewriting the very foundation of his cultivation. The lewd desires that had once been his downfall, the very thoughts that had shattered his reputation, now became a source of strength. The Heavenly Demon Rebirth Art allowed him to channel those desires into a powerful new form of demonic energy, one that would make him even more formidable than before. His once erratic lust was now a sharpened tool, a weapon to be wielded against his enemies.
Emerging from the ruins after months of training, Lin Yun was no longer the disgraced leader of the Devil Sects but a reborn demon warrior, stronger and more dangerous than ever. He had been tempered in the fires of humiliation, and now he was ready to take revenge—not just on Wang Li, but on everyone who had turned their backs on him.
But Lin Yun was no fool. He knew that to face Wang Li directly would be suicide, especially with how powerful Wang Li had become through his seductions and manipulations. Instead, Lin Yun decided on a more strategic approach. He would gather the most talented warriors from the remnants of the Devil Sects, those still loyal to him and those who had the potential to be swayed by his newfound strength.
Quietly, Lin Yun began to rebuild his alliances. He sought out Zhao Feng, a talented swordsman who had once been his closest ally, and Luo Xinya, a brilliant strategist known for her cold, calculating mind. Each of them had distanced themselves from Lin Yun after his fall, but now, seeing the raw power he wielded and the depth of his transformation, they returned to his side, swayed by his new strength.
Along with them came others—powerful cultivators who had once admired Lin Yun from afar but had been hesitant to join him during his disgrace. Now, however, they were drawn to his newfound aura of command. Even a few elders from the Devil Sects, who had previously questioned his leadership, found themselves swayed by the sheer force of his presence.
As his new team of warriors formed, Lin Yun began to plan his revenge. He would not rush headlong into a confrontation with Wang Li—no, he would strike at the heart of Wang Li’s strength. The Holy Devil Dragon Sect, the very foundation of Wang Li’s power, would be his target.
“Wang Li thinks he’s won,” Lin Yun said to his gathered allies, his voice calm but filled with cold determination. “But he’s forgotten one thing. I am the true heir of the Devil Sects, and my fate cannot be so easily broken.”
Zhao Feng nodded, his eyes gleaming with excitement. “We’ve seen the power you’ve gained, Lin Yun. The Heavenly Demon Rebirth Art… it’s unlike anything we’ve ever encountered. With this strength, we can destroy Wang Li and his sect.”
Luo Xinya crossed her arms, her sharp eyes focused on Lin Yun. “But we must be careful. Wang Li has grown complacent, enjoying his life of pleasure and indulgence. His harem, his children, his influence—all of these are his weaknesses now. We must strike at his core, where he least expects it.”
Lin Yun’s lips curled into a smile, dark and full of malice. “Exactly. We will not simply attack Wang Li—we will destroy everything he has built. His women, his sect, his reputation. When we are done, there will be nothing left of him.”
Meanwhile, Wang Li remained unaware of the storm that was brewing. He continued to expand his influence, conquering the beauties of the Devil Sects one by one. Each new woman he claimed brought with her not only a night of passion but also valuable knowledge and power.
Among them was Mei Zhilan, a cold beauty from the Ice Heart Sect. Her ice-cold demeanor had melted under Wang Li’s touch, and now she was as devoted to him as any of his other women. Her knowledge of ice-based cultivation arts added a new dimension to Wang Li’s power, and her presence within his inner circle only solidified his control over the Devil Sects.
Another was Su Lifen, a mysterious and alluring woman from the Serpent Sect. Her snake-like grace and deadly precision in battle made her a formidable ally, and after an intense night of passion, she too submitted to Wang Li, becoming one of his most loyal followers.
With each conquest, Wang Li grew more confident, more sure of his place at the top. His children, now rapidly growing into powerful cultivators themselves, further cemented his legacy. His sons were being trained in the arts of war, while his daughters were mastering the subtleties of sect politics, ensuring that the Holy Devil Dragon Sect would continue to thrive under his leadership.
But in his overconfidence, Wang Li had allowed a dangerous enemy to rise in the shadows. Lin Yun, reborn through the power of the Heavenly Demon Rebirth Art, was no longer the broken man he had once been. He was a force of nature, driven by vengeance and ambition.
And soon, Wang Li would realize that he had underestimated the power of fate.
