Great Villain: Starting by Humiliating the Son of the Heavenly Fate - Chapter 167

Chapter 167: The Radiant Return of Jiang Chen Chapter 167: The Radiant Return of Jiang Chen Learning that this change in the storyline had directly stripped Fang Yuan of two thousand Heavenly Fate Value points, Jiang Chen felt a surge of astonishment.

His eyes sparkled unmistakably with joy.

However, this feeling was quickly tempered by the realization that such developments were to be expected.

After all, Fang Yuan’s act of rescuing Ji Ruxue was crucial to his journey.

Now, Jiang Chen had seized even the chance to intervene.

Without this key event, how could he strengthen his ties with Ji Ruxue?

Until now, Ji Ruxue had barely seen him as more than a stranger.

In contrast, Jiang Chen had already forged a connection with Ji Ruxue, positioning himself as the knight set to rescue the damsel in distress.

This significant difference in their paths meant that it would be even more difficult for Fang Yuan to win Ji Ruxue’s favor!

‘Perfect!’ Jiang Chen thought with a smug satisfaction, a crafty grin pulling at the corners of his mouth.

‘Once I successfully win over Ji Ruxue, Fang Yuan’s Heavenly Fate Value is sure to plummet!’ Following this, Jiang Chen channeled his Origin Power and vanished, leaving no trace outside Fang Yuan’s cave mansion.

He didn’t immediately go to find Ji Mingxiu.

Instead, he wisely put a distance of ten thousand kilometers between himself and Ji Mingxiu’s palace cluster before he reappeared, his expression a mix of surprise and urgency as he made his swift return to the Purple Heaven Holy Land.

With a resounding boom, Jiang Chen transformed into a radiant streak of light, cutting through the sky.

He left behind a series of vortex-like explosions and trails of white mist.

He soared ahead, gliding through the heavens with unstoppable momentum.

The tremendous noise caught the attention of many onlookers.

“Look quickly!

That’s Senior Brother Jiang Chen!” “Senior Brother Jiang Chen’s flight speed is incredible-it’s as fast as someone in the Inquiring Journey realm.

Truly formidable!” “Why is Senior Brother Jiang Chen in such a hurry?

He didn’t even try to hide his movements.” “I’m not sure, but it definitely indicates something urgent.

Look, he’s heading exactly towards where the Holy Lord practices his cultivation!” As Jiang Chen vanished into the distance, the crowd watched in awe and reverence.

Meanwhile, within Ji Mingxiu’s palace cluster, Ji Ruxue and Xie Xiaojing lay unconscious on a massive formation platform.

This platform had a strong sealing ability, preventing Ji Ruxue and Xie Xiaojing from using their Origin Power.

To some extent, it slowed down the corruption of their bodies by Demonic Spiritual Qi.

This method was the only one the Purple Heaven Holy Land had managed to devise over the years to combat the Demonic Spiritual Qi.

However, its effectiveness was minimal, only slightly better than having no solution at all.

Beside the formation platform, Ji Mingxiu and Xie Zhen, accompanied by the four Supreme Elders of the Dao Palace realm, sat in silent contemplation.

Periodically, Mo Yu and the other three Supreme Elders cast glances toward Ji Mingxiu and Xie Zhen.

They considered it incredibly bold for them to pin all their hopes on Jiang Chen.

Despite their reservations, Ji Mingxiu’s insistence left them with no other options.

Eventually, they ceased their attempts to persuade, choosing instead to offer silent support by their side.

“Sigh~ Why hasn’t Jiang Chen returned yet?

Could it be possible that the lad has fled out of fear of facing potential repercussions?” Han Xu’s words were tinged with skepticism, his brow furrowing with doubt.

Admittedly, this scenario was plausible.

Influenced perhaps by the shift in Fang Yuan’s Heavenly Fate Value, doubts about Jiang Chen’s true intentions began to seep into the minds of Mo Yu, Li Shang, Han Xu, and Liu Mei, subtly shifting their initial positive impressions of him.

However, at this critical moment, Ji Mingxiu suddenly stood up.

“Jiang Chen has returned, he’s indeed back!

He’s rushing towards us!” “It seems he has found a solution from those two elders!” His face radiated pure ecstasy.

With his divine sense surpassing that of his mentors and excelling beyond the four Supreme Elders, Ji Mingiu was the first to detect Jiang Chen soaring towards them.

“What!?

Little Jiang Chen has returned!

This is splendid news!” Liu Mei exclaimed, her mature face breaking into a smile.

“Regardless of whether he has secured an effective remedy or not, his courage to face this dire situation and willingness to shoulder the responsibility is truly commendable,” Han Xu said, trying to mask his earlier skepticism.

“Indeed!” agreed Li Shang.

“However, from my perspective, I believe he really has found an effective solution.

Just look at his expression; he’s practically radiating joy!” Everyone present, except Xie Zhen who was still at the Dao Comprehension realm, now spotted Jiang Chen’s approaching figure.

His facial expressions were clear to them.

Seeing Jiang Chen’s euphoric and urgent grin, they all felt as though they were caught in a dreamlike state.

Jiang Chen’s jubilant appearance suggested that he had indeed found a cure.

For countless millennia across the entire Immortal Martial World, despite the efforts of many formidable individuals, no one had managed to devise such a solution.

But now, Jiang Chen was racing toward them with that very cure in hand!

This meant that Jiang Chen could potentially heal Ji Ruxue and Xie Xiaojing.

Moreover, his discovery might have a profoundly significant impact on the future of the Purple Heaven Holy Land!

It’s important to remember that Red Maple Heavenly Valley had experienced a mutation.

Other areas had also seen changes, though none as severe as those in Red Maple Heavenly Valley.

With danger present at every turn, it was unclear when the Demonic Spiritual Qi might erupt from the main gate of the Purple Heaven Holy Land.

Should they fail to neutralize the Demonic Spiritual Qi, the Purple Heaven Holy Land would inevitably face grave danger.

“Hurry, hurry!

Start the treatment immediately!” Ji Mingxiu urged, his anxiety palpable.

Xie Zhen, standing by his side, remained silent, but his eyes reflected the same intense anticipation.

After saluting his seniors, Jiang Chen nodded and said, “I require specific materials first.” He then began listing the necessary items: “I need the Returning Profound Grass, the Connecting Heaven Flower, the Origin Gathering Vine, the Condensed Lesser Sun Azure Ginseng…” “We have all of them!” came the eager replies.

“Here is the pill furnace!” “These are the pill refining materials you requested!” Ji Mingxiu, Xie Zhen, Mo Yu, Li Shang, Han Xu, and Liu Mei each quickly produced items in turn, and in no time at all, they had gathered all the materials Jiang Chen needed.

“I don’t require the pill furnace,” Jiang Chen clarified, quickly collecting the natural treasures before moving to Ji Ruxue’s side.

“First, deactivate the formation!” “Understood!” Ji Mingxiu promptly responded to Jiang Chen’s command.

The next moment, Jiang Chen placed a spiritual plant known as the Condensed Lesser Sun Azure Ginseng on Ji Ruxue’s Dantian.

He then placed his hand on her forehead and began to execute the Demonic Qi Extraction Art.

The Dao Origin Power within Jiang Chen surged intensely, progressively interacting with the Heavenly Origin Power within Ji Ruxue.

Quickly, the flow and rhythm of Origin Power within both Jiang Chen and Ji Ruxue synchronized.

During this process, Jiang Chen’s Dao Origin Power gently diffused into Ji Ruxue’s body, blending with her Heavenly Origin Power.

Almost instantly, a peculiar suction force emerged from Ji Ruxue’s Dantian, targeting the Condensed Lesser Sun Azure Ginseng.

An unusual medicinal essence began to emanate from the Condensed Lesser Sun Azure Ginseng, permeating the area.

Normally, the medicinal essence extracted from the Condensed Lesser Sun Azure Ginseng during pill refining would be discarded as impurities.

However, in this unique scenario, this specific medicinal essence was precisely what was required.

Slowly, the unusual medicinal essence from the Condensed Lesser Sun Azure Ginseng permeated Ji Ruxue’s body.

Jiang Chen quickly moved on to the other materials, continuing to employ the Demonic Qi Extraction Art without interruption.

With each transition to a new material, he adjusted the incantation of the secret art accordingly.

By the time he had used each material once, an hour had already passed.
