Great Villain: Starting by Humiliating the Son of the Heavenly Fate - Chapter 163

Chapter 163: Insights into the Demon Race Chapter 163: Insights into the Demon Race Jiang Chen let Fang Yuan shake him by the collar, a trace of sadness surfacing on his face.

“Junior Brother Fang Yuan, I never intended for this to happen, but regrettably, the Red Maple Heavenly Valley transformed suddenly.” Yet, deep inside, Jiang Chen couldn’t suppress a sneer.

Unknown to Fang Yuan, he himself had unwittingly triggered the misfortune befalling Ji Ruxue and Xie Xiaojing.

The events at the Red Maple Heavenly Valley had unfolded under the mysterious influence of Heavenly Fate, orchestrating the path for its chosen one.

“No!

You orchestrated this!” Fang Yuan roared in fury.

“Otherwise, how could they be corrupted by the Spiritual Qi of the Bottomless Abyss, yet you remain untouched?!” “Fang Yuan, calm yourself!” Shangguan Ning’s voice, tinged with disapproval, cut through the heated exchange.

“Jiang Chen possesses a unique innate constitution, making it natural that he wasn’t affected after brief exposure to that peculiar spiritual Qi.” She empathized with Fang Yuan’s distress over Ji Ruxue and Xie Xiaojing’s fate.

As the Azure Hollow Demon Fox, seasoned in witnessing countless injustices, she respected the courage to express outrage and challenge.

However, they had previously explained to Fang Yuan about Jiang Chen’s mysterious true dragon bloodline.

Despite this, Fang Yuan was now willfully ignoring this fact, choosing instead to vehemently question Jiang Chen in his anger.

His intent was clear: to manipulate the situation, attempting to pin the blame on Jiang Chen and make him bear the full responsibility.

To Shangguan Ning, such conduct was completely reprehensible.

[Ding!

You have successfully lowered the unpursued heroine Shangguan Ning’s impression of Fang Yuan.

The protagonist Fang Yuan’s Heavenly Fate Value decreases by 200 points!] [Ding!

You have earned 400 Villain Value points!] As the system notification chimed, a cold satisfaction surged within Jiang Chen’s heart.

“I…” Catching the contempt in Shangguan Ning’s voice, embarrassment overwhelmed Fang Yuan.

He released his grip and stammered an apology, “I was…

overwhelmed with worry and confusion.

Yes, I apologize…” [Ding!

The protagonist, Fang Yuan, has publicly apologized to you, experiencing a mental setback, and his Heavenly Fate Value has dropped by 200 points!] [Ding!

You have acquired 400 Villain Value points!] The system prompts echoed again.

Jiang Chen offered a faint smile, “It’s alright, I understand.” Observing Jiang Chen’s smile, the frustration and wrath boiling within Fang Yuan only intensified.

Ji Ruxue and Xie Xiaojing had been led by Jiang Chen to train and gain experience.

They had spent twenty days together, and now that disaster had struck, Jiang Chen appeared entirely blameless!

Fang Yuan found himself without a valid reason to direct his fury at Jiang Chen, which only added to his frustration.

And there was Jiang Chen, still wearing that broad smile.

How could Fang Yuan not feel even more indignant!?

[Ding!

You have slightly undermined the protagonist Fang Yuan’s mental state, and his Heavenly Fate Value has dropped by 200 points!] [Ding!

You have earned 400 Villain Value points!] The system prompts resonated in Jiang Chen’s mind, catching him off-guard.

He hadn’t expected that a mere smile could so profoundly disturb Fang Yuan’s mental state.

Jiang Chen surmised that a significant amount of negative emotions had already accumulated within Fang Yuan.

Now, at this critical juncture, unable to find a release and on the verge of explosion, Fang Yuan was teetering on the edge.

His bottled-up frustrations threatened to cause internal damage if not addressed soon.

At that moment, the remnant soul of Nangong Wan inside the Soul Embodying Ring spoke up.

“Jiang Chen, I have understood the situation surrounding Ji Ruxue and Xie Xiaojing,” she said.

“From what you’ve described, it’s evident that the Immortal Martial Continent has been infiltrated by the Demon Race.” “Furthermore,” she continued, “this Immortal Martial Continent was likely established as a response to their conflict with them.” Then Shangguan Ning took over the conversation.

As they spoke, Jiang Chen quickly absorbed a wealth of information.

For example, the Bottomless Abyss-it was a conduit to the realm inhabited by the Demon Race.

There was still some ambiguity about whether these demons actually resided underground on the Immortal Martial Continent or, more precisely, if the Bottomless Abyss was actually a dimensional portal leading to the domain of the Demon Race.

The Demon Race was scattered broadly across the cosmic void, establishing their presence in numerous regions.

The Everlasting Baseless Immortal Domain, the homeland of Nangong Wan and Shangguan Ning, was no exception.

Demons thrived in exceptionally harsh environments, and the type of spiritual Qi they harnessed for cultivation was distinctly different from the conventional spiritual Qi found elsewhere.

This unique form of Qi, known as Demonic Spiritual Qi, was imbued with volatile properties.

It contributed to the Demon Race having a slightly less developed spiritual intellect, yet their combat prowess often surpassed that of cultivators of equivalent rank.

This made them formidable adversaries in any encounter.

Given the distinct properties of the spiritual Qi they each absorbed, the Human Race and the Demon Race were fundamentally incompatible; they were mortal adversaries upon encounter.

In the Everlasting Baseless Immortal Domain, lethal clashes frequently erupted between the two races, marked by their notably savage nature.

The volatile dynamics of their interactions ensured that peace was a fleeting concept, often disrupted by fierce battles driven by their intrinsic opposition.

After listening to the detailed accounts from the two women, Jiang Chen looked respectfully at the Soul Embodying Ring on Fang Yuan’s hand, his expression clouded with urgency and hope.

“Esteemed seniors, you possess much deeper insights about the Demon Race than anyone on the Immortal Martial Continent, and the Everlasting Baseless Immortal Domain frequently engages in warfare with them.” “Please,” he implored earnestly, “devise a way to rescue Ji Ruxue and Xie Xiaojing!” “Indeed,” responded Nangong Wan, her voice carrying both authority and reassurance from within the ring.

“We in the Everlasting Baseless Immortal Domain do indeed possess a profound understanding of the Demon Race and certainly have a method to save Ji Ruxue and Xie Xiaojing.” Upon hearing this, joy surged in Jiang Chen’s heart.

However, at that very moment, Fang Yuan interjected with sudden fervor, “Why not allow me to intervene!

Senior Nangong Wan and Senior Shangguan Ning reside in my Soul Embodying Ring; they can guide me at any given moment!” “It would be most prudent for me to undertake the task of properly healing Ji Ruxue and Xie Xiaojing!” he declared, a determined gleam flashing in his eyes.

The task of saving Ji Ruxue had to fall upon him.

This was a life-saving favor extended to Ji Ruxue.

If Jiang Chen were to secure it, the implications…

Jiang Chen, already foreseeing Fang Yuan’s proposal, immediately countered with a grave expression, “No, no, no!

Fang Yuan, you absolutely cannot intervene!” “The fact that Ji Ruxue and Xie Xiaojing have been afflicted by the Bottomless Abyss’s Spiritual Qi is already well known to Holy Lord Ji Mingxiu; it’s impossible to keep hidden.

And on the Immortal Martial Continent, there are no known methods to heal Ji Ruxue and Xie Xiaojing!” He pressed on, “In order to prevent Holy Lord Ji Mingxiu from resorting to desperate measures in his frantic search for a cure, I have assured him that I am capable of healing Ji Ruxue and Xie Xiaojing.

The crux of the matter is, to convince him, I reluctantly mentioned the two seniors.

But worry not, I was careful not to reveal any details about the circumstances of the two seniors.

Ji Mingxiu wouldn’t dare entertain any undue ideas.” “Now, if you, Fang Yuan, were to step in, it would inevitably expose the existence and perhaps even the conditions of the two seniors, and we absolutely cannot let that happen!” Jiang Chen insisted.

“Therefore, it is still best that I take the lead!” CREATORS’ THOUGHTS AlphaWIA Your gift is the motivation for my creation.

Give me more motivation!
