Great Villain: Starting by Humiliating the Son of the Heavenly Fate - Chapter 43

Chapter 43: A Sudden Message to Escape Chapter 43: A Sudden Message to Escape Jiang Chen had selected the Mirage Spirit Beaded Amulet, a Spiritual Awakening-level artifact, infused with the ability to shield its user from divine sense and alter their aura.

‘Exchange.’ [Ding!

700 points of Villain Value have been deducted.

You have successfully obtained the Mirage Spirit Beaded Amulet×1!] After the system notification echoed, a jade pendant instantly appeared in Jiang Chen’s hand.

At the same time, his remaining Villain Value balance dropped to 700 points, but it was a worthwhile investment.

From this point forward, it was his opportunity to accumulate significant gains.

“Here, take this, Uncle,” Jiang Chen said, handing the Mirage Spirit Beaded Amulet to Jiang Xingtai, then proceeded to explain its purpose.

Shortly after, having been briefed, Jiang Xingtai promptly departed to prepare.

Meanwhile, Jiang Chen moved to a Jiang Clan building, providing a strategic viewpoint to monitor both a Spiritual Awakening realm practitioner from the Illusory Slaying Tower and Lin Feng simultaneously.

He watched Lin Feng solidify his cultivation base, while the assassin from the Illusory Slaying Tower was also getting ready for the upcoming mission.

Seeing this, Jiang Chen dedicated a part of his divine sense to keep watch over them, focusing most of his effort on practicing the Cold Sky Frost Brilliance Art.

Time ticked by gradually.

…

Three days later, under the cover of night at the Golden Apricot Inn, Lin Feng had just finished consolidating his cultivation base and resumed his training.

At this time, both Jiang Chen and Jiang Xingtai were keeping a close watch on him.

At that moment, the members of the Illusory Slaying Tower suddenly sprang into action.

‘Finally taking action,’ Jiang Chen thought to himself, a slight smile forming on his lips as he sent a message to Jiang Xingtai, then he stepped forward and shot off at an incredible speed.

His swiftness was remarkable.

Compared to him, the five individuals from the Illusory Slaying Tower seemed incredibly slow.

Shortly thereafter, he arrived at a spot almost a thousand meters away from the Vast Spirit House, from where he could observe it using his divine sense.

After a brief wait, Cao Junli, Tian Wendong, and the other three converged on the Vast Spirit House from different directions.

At that moment, the gates of the Vast Spirit House were closed, with both Ning Xian and Qiu Liaoxi, master and disciple, deeply engrossed in their cultivation.

“This is the place,” Tian Wendong declared, his voice dripping with a cold sneer as he motioned with his hand.

“Set up the formation first!” Without delay, Cao Junli brought out a large stone tablet.

The front side of the tablet was covered with intricate black patterns, while the back had grooves filled with spirit stones.

‘A formation plate that conceals movement!

These guys are quite professional,’ Jiang Chen mused to himself, his eyebrows arching in surprise, yet he continued to watch intently.

“A mere trash protective formation, I’ll break it!” Tian Wendong boasted with a smirk, stepping forward and gathering his strength for a forceful kick at the door.

Bang!

Suddenly, the gates of the Vast Spirit House shattered with a thunderous crash!

…

At the Golden Apricot Inn, Lin Feng, who was seated quietly on his bed engaged in cultivation, abruptly opened his eyes, a frown creasing his forehead, as he thought, ‘My cultivation speed has significantly slowed down.’ ‘I can’t go on like this.

I must find a way to retrieve the treasures of Zhou Yihe and the others!’ he reflected, rising from the bed.

However, just as he was about to leave, his steps came to a sudden halt.

A feeling of disquiet gripped his heart, as if a misfortune loomed ahead.

‘This feeling…perhaps I should avoid going out for the time being.’ Lin Feng pondered, clutching his chest while his frown deepened.

Thus, he settled back down and prepared a cup of tea for himself, trying to soothe his unsettled mind.

…

In that instant, Jiang Chen’s figure emerged from the shadows, positioned exactly two hundred meters from the Vast Spirit House.

He was ready to intervene without a moment’s delay should any harm come to Ning Xian.

With his combat prowess at the Mysterious Platform realm, covering the distance of two hundred meters would be almost instantaneous.

Within the Vast Spirit House, an aged voice rang out, “Who goes there?!” as Qiu Liaoxi emerged from her room, her face marked by worry, while Ning Xian rushed out, her eyes burning with anger.

Suddenly, the master-disciple duo found themselves facing five unfamiliar cultivators on the lower floor.

Each of these individuals exuded a powerful aura, making it difficult for Qiu Liaoxi and Ning Xian to even breathe.

‘They’re all in the Spiritual Awakening realm!’ Qiu Liaoxi realized with alarm, then asked cautiously, her eyes showing a hint of fear, “Who are you people?

What brings you to my humble Vast Spirit House?” She had already guessed that these intruders were after the Thousand Green Pill Heart Records.

“Hehe,” Tian Wendong sneered, tauntingly saying, “You must be Qiu Liaoxi, correct?” “I thought by now you’d have reached the Spiritual Awakening realm.

But seeing you’re still stuck in the Soul Refining realm after all these years is just pathetic,” he continued, his voice laced with contempt, his expression dripping with disdain.

“As for why we’re here, you must have a clue, right?” “You’re from the Purple Bamboo Spirit Mountain!” Ning Xian accused, her beautiful face twisted with fury, “Even after all these years, you still won’t leave us alone!” “Ah!

What a beauty!” Tian Wendong exclaimed, his eyes briefly widening in surprise as he assessed Ning Xian, before they took on a lecherous gleam.

“You must be Ning Xian, right?

Qiu Liaoxi’s disciple from Autumn Glory City?” he queried.

“Disgusting!

You people are absolutely disgusting!

And the same goes for the Purple Bamboo Spirit Mountain!” Ning Xian spat out, her brow furrowed in loathing, her eyes filled with contempt.

“Didn’t they tell you that I, Ning Xian, originally came from the Ning Clan of Purple Bamboo Spirit Mountain?” she revealed.

It was clear that the Purple Bamboo Spirit Mountain had hidden the annihilation of the Ning Clan to protect their own reputation.

Even Ning Xian, the only survivor of the Ning Clan, was falsely portrayed as a native of Autumn Glory City through their schemes, as well as a disciple adopted by Qiu Liaoxi.

Such actions by the Purple Bamboo Spirit Mountain were equivalent to committing vile acts while still desiring to appear saintly.

“Oh?

Who would have guessed such a story?” Tian Wendong remarked with a sneer, “But that doesn’t matter now.” “Give us the Thousand Green Pill Heart Records and its secret key, and come with us!

Or else…this will be your fate!” he threatened, grabbing the nearby table and swiftly decaying it with a chilling, malevolent energy.

“Hmph!

You’re deluding yourselves!” Qiu Liaoxi retorted coldly, relieved that she had already given the Thousand Green Pill Heart Records and its secret key to Lin Feng.

Right then, her main concern was to safeguard Ning Xian and make sure Lin Feng could escape quickly.

So, during their conversation, Qiu Liaoxi stepped in front of Ning Xian to shield her, discreetly slipping a transmission jade token into her sleeve as she sent a message to Lin Feng: “Escape!!” …

At the Golden Apricot Inn, Lin Feng, who was still feeling restless despite his tea, suddenly felt his transmission jade token vibrate.

‘Could it be Master or Ning Xian?’ Lin Feng’s expression brightened.

He had been embarrassed in front of Ning Xian and Qiu Liaoxi previously and had been hesitant about returning to the Vast Spirit House.

But with Ning Xian and Qiu Liaoxi reaching out to him, his spirits lifted.

However, the message on the transmission jade token was stark: “Escape!!” Lin Feng’s smile instantly disappeared, his eyes widening as a mix of anger and worry overwhelmed him in a flash!

“Who?!

Who dares to touch my Ning Xian!

Who dares to hurt my Master!” Lin Feng roared with deep sorrow and anger, overwhelmed by intense worry as he burst through the roof, racing towards the Vast Spirit House.

Ning Xian was the first girl to smile at him after he left the sect.

She and Qiu Liaoxi were the first people he met who showed him real kindness, after enduring scorn and humiliation at the Starry Abyss Sect for so long.

Qiu Liaoxi had even given him a precious legacy despite knowing little about him.

In his heart, he had already begun to see Ning Xian as his own woman.

But now, Ning Xian and Qiu Liaoxi were in danger!

How could he not be anxious, how could he not be enraged!
