I became the enemy of Yang Kai in Martial Peak Novel

Huan ji grass land

The grassland stretched endlessly beneath the sky, a vast ocean of green swaying gently with the rhythm of the wind. Wildflowers of crimson, violet, and pale blue dotted the fields like scattered stars, their petals trembling beneath the caress of the breeze.

Above, the heavens stretched wide and open, a boundless expanse of blue where white clouds drifted lazily like ancient dreams. The air was fresh, carrying the faint scent of earth and blooming herbs, and every breath felt like a renewal of life itself. In the distance, herds of spirit beasts roamed freely.

Bai Xuan soared gracefully through the vast expanse of the sky, gliding effortlessly on his enchanted sword as he meticulously scanned the landscape below for the nearest city. After two hours of tireless exploration, during which he navigated through the fluffy white clouds and dodged the occasional bird, he finally spotted a bustling settlement nestled among the greenery.

As he drew closer to the city, the sun glinting off his sword's shimmering surface, he received an unexpected notification from the system. The message was intriguing—it informed him of the presence of a remarkable individual within this very city, a girl rated an impressive 7★ star in terms of her abilities and characteristics. This revelation filled him with a mix of excitement and caution.

Rather than rushing headlong into the city without a second thought, Bai Xuan chose to exercise prudence. He decided to land gracefully just outside the city limits, allowing the gentle breeze to tousle his hair as he dismounted from his sword. With his mind racing with possibilities about this extraordinary girl, he opted to take a moment to gather his thoughts.

After seeing this, he called a servant and took out some gold coins, saying he wanted to exchange them for some information. The servant told him that he came to the right place. Our restaurant is famous for its importations selling.

He asked him,"what's going on in the High Heaven Pavilion?", and the servant told him,"this sect had been destroyed by the great families after the new evil cult leader, Yang Bai, killed the sect leader and took her head as a trophy."

He told him that he will be surprised when he knows that this new cult leader was the High Heaven Pavilion leader's personal disciple one time.

Hearing this, Bai Xuan thought, "This is totally different from the original novel. In the novel Yang Bai, the excommunicated former disciple of Ling Tai Xu, would one day break free from the Coiling Dragon Stream with his cultivation not only restored but far more powerful than what Ling Tai Xu (the 11th leader of High Heaven Pavilion) could possibly contend with. In this incident, Ling Tai Xu suffers a significant injury (but Yang Kai saved him), and Yang Bai goes on to briefly wreak havoc in the Great Han Dynasty before departing."

"Is the novel keeping the wrong information?" he asked himself.

The system already told him that the martial peak novel is based on this world but is only 30% similar, but in her 217 lives, he was reborn before the original novel storyline started, so he can't find any clue of an unmatched storyline. But this time when he comes to this small world, he finally finds an unmatched event.

Bai Xuan somehow quieted him and asked the servant,"what about the Great Yang family?"

In the Han Luo dynasty, families are categorized into 4 types. Great Big Family, 1st class, 2nd class, 3rd class. If there is at least one 6th-stage cultivator in a family, then it becomes 2nd class, and if a family has 10 6th-stage cultivators, then it will be 1st class, and if a family has some 6th-stage cultivators and at least 1 cultivator above the 6th stage, then they become a great family.

(In the small world, people don't know about the 7th stage, so they call it upper than the 6th stage.)

The servant told him,"after attacking in High Heaven Pavilion, the evil cult leader killed the Yang family patriarch and declared an all-out war against the 8 big families. The Yang family started their inheritance war a few months ago to find their new leader. And 5 out of 7 great families participated in this war by supporting the young masters of the Yang family to gain benefits from it."

Then Bai Xuan asked him for all information about this city.

Bai Xuan had always envisioned a grand strategy when he first arrived in this small world, primarily aiming to regain full control over his own body. This was no mere quest for power; it was a critical necessity for his survival and an essential step in fulfilling his larger ambitions. However, upon his arrival, he quickly realized that he had landed in a time of chaos, during the very beginnings of a series of wars that would shape the landscape of this realm. Recognizing the potential for seizing opportunities amid the turmoil, he reevaluated his original plans.

As he assessed the situation, Bai Xuan decided to broaden his objectives significantly. The allure of the Black Book—a legendary artifact rumored to hold immense power—along with the Soul-Worming Lotus, became central to his revised strategy. Both of these powerful assets were under the possession of Yang Kai, a rising figure whose influence was growing rapidly. Bai Xuan's intent was clear: he would employ force to wrest these treasures from Yang Kai before the young cultivator could ascend to the sixth stage of cultivation, a pivotal milestone that would elevate Yang Kai's abilities and make him an even more formidable opponent.

In the current circumstances, Yang Kai was heavily protected, as he was ensconced within the confines of the esteemed Yang family. This familial safeguard rendered any direct confrontation nearly impossible, as the clan's strength and resources were formidable obstacles. Even attempting to approach Yang Kai was fraught with difficulties, as the protective barriers erected by his clan would make it exceedingly risky. Therefore, Bai Xuan's path required cunning rather than brute force. He realized that he might leverage the upcoming Inheritance War—a significant event filled with turmoil and uncertainty—to orchestrate a closer relationship with Yang Kai's faction.

Yet, to execute an attack on Yang Kai, a flawlessly devised plan was crucial. Bai Xuan understood that he needed to build a network of influence, which would require him to gather allies who could help him achieve his goals. To that end, he intended to create a new faction, one that would be dubbed the Ninth Great Family, by merging several powerful families with whom he could negotiate and align his interests. His façade would be one of support for Yang Kai or perhaps any of his brothers, thus masking his true intentions.

Bai Xuan knew that in order to enact his scheme successfully, he had to capitalize on the chaos instigated by the evil cult leader, who was further inciting the impending war. This conflict would provide the perfect cover, allowing him to maneuver strategically and make his move to forcibly acquire the coveted treasures from Yang Kai. With the Black Book and the Soul-Worming Lotus under his control, he could then return to his previous realm, armed with newfound power and the means to reshape his destiny. In his mind, this was not just a plan; it was a carefully orchestrated symphony of manipulation, alliances, and timing that would ultimately pave his way to supremacy.

He decided to start his plan from this city, so first he will take over this city's families.

Lang family

Main hall

The main hall is bathed in soft, golden lighting that reflects off gleaming surfaces, accentuating the lavish decor. Massive archways of polished gold metal frame the entrance, lending a sense of majesty and welcome. Waterfalls cascade gracefully from the ceiling on either side, adding a serene, flowing element to the otherwise regal structure.

The pathway is a sleek, dark, marble-like material bordered by gold and silver lines, guiding the eye toward the central throne or elevated dais at the end. On both sides of the walkway stand magnificent stone lion statues, their fierce, protective expressions glowing subtly with ethereal light—symbols of power and guardianship.

Above, a grand circular balcony floats mid-air, supported by elegant columns and surrounded by red banners and white floral-like sculptures. The ceiling is high and domed, adorned with radiant light structures that resemble blooming energy or divine halos.

To the sides, you can glimpse well-maintained gardens and red-leaved trees, contrasting the hall's luxury with natural tranquility, further enhancing the atmosphere of peace, reverence, and awe. This place feels not just like a throne room, but a sacred domain—a place where celestial beings or ancient cultivators might walk.

As a city lord house, it's more luxury than common. It shows that the clan leader is a worshiper of beauty.
