The Secret Villian

Wei Chen has risen through the ranks to become the powerful new Sect Leader of the renowned Zhangxia Sect. Ambitious and relentless in his cultivation, he seeks to elevate Zhangxia's prestige and expand its influence under his command.

In the first year, Wei Chen throws himself into perfecting martial skills and assessing his forces. An opportunity arises when bandits plague a nearby town, and Wei Chen leads Zhangxia disciples to defeat the threat. Their heroic victory spreads Zhangxia's reputation in the region. Wei Chen establishes a permanent sect presence, gaining a foothold of power.

Through the next seasons, Wei Chen's spies monitor developments elsewhere. They discover rival Blood Python Sect engaged in civil war as factions fight for control. Wei Chen crafts a cunning scheme - Zhangxia agents will covertly aid the weaker rebellion, ensuring their side prevails with Zhangxia's backing. In a pivotal battle, the Zhangxia-supported rebels emerge victorious over Blood Python's elders. The defeated sect now pledges allegiance to Wei Chen, doubling Zhangxia's territory in a single move.

Wei Chen's strategic mind and relentless ambition are driving Zhangxia's rise to new heights of power and prestige and carving out increasing influence in the cultivation world. But this is only the beginning of his ambitions and schemes.
