After Defying the Villain’s Fate for Nine Lifetimes, the Heroines Turn Mad!

Chapter 70

A slip of the hand? What a phrase, a slip of the hand! Old Man Tianji and Lin Feng both felt a profound humiliation.

At this moment, they finally understood.

The Jiang Chen before them was clearly toying with them! And he was enjoying it!

This kind of person has no sense of morality, turning his face as easily as turning a page.

Therefore, they could only fight to the death to resolve the crisis!

With that thought, Old Man Tianji controlled Lin Feng’s body to suddenly lunge forward!

His five fingers turned into claws, a cold aura emanating from his fingertips, forming a giant palm that reached out to grab Jiang Chen!

Despite the imposing aura and lightning speed, Jiang Chen remained unfazed.

“Hmph!”

The sound shook the heavens, and the giant palm instantly shattered, turning into a burst of black mist!

“Tsk!”

Old Man Tianji clicked his tongue. His figure twisted into a streak of light as he shot backward, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

“Should we pursue him?” Seeing this, the voice of the elder appeared in Jiang Chen’s mind.

Jiang Chen shook his head.

Qingning leaped down from the spirit boat while riding on Xiaobai, also intending to give him chase.

“No need, he’s going to the Jiuyan Sect to seek apprenticeship,” Jiang Chen raised his hand to stop her.

“Why?” Xiaobai was puzzled.

Jiang Chen told them not to scare Lin Feng, worried that it would deter him from seeking an apprenticeship at the Jiuyan Sect.

Yet, Jiang Chen himself had frightened Lin Feng out of his wits!

Now, Jiang Chen was certain that Lin Feng would definitely go to the Jiuyan Sect to seek an apprenticeship.

His words are clearly contradictory.

“Would you do it not if you have a big grudge with me yet there was a way to jump around under my nose and I couldn’t do anything about it?” Jiang Chen retorted.

Xiaobai blinked his tiger eyes, indicating he didn’t understand at all.

Qingning, however, understood.

As everyone knows, Jiang Chen has a terrible reputation in the Jiuyan Sect and disliked by many.

Although Xiao Hongyi is biased towards him, she has also punished him multiple times for his misdeeds. And within the Jiuyan Sect, he couldn’t freely use the power of the Jiang family.

In this case, seeking an apprenticeship at the Jiuyan Sect was naturally Lin Feng’s best choice.

After all, not only would this provide him protection, but it would also put the entire Jiuyan Sect on his side against Jiang Chen!

To put it bluntly, he couldn’t bear it.

Jiang Chen was destined to be the antagonist, and Lin Feng was the Son of Destiny, the two were complete opposites and loathed each other.

Qingning and Xiaobai together buried Lin Feng alive, yet he wasn’t in a hurry for revenge.

But for Jiang Chen, who bore the aura of a villain, he would certainly choose to do so if there was a chance for a quick revenge.

Furthermore, given Lin Feng’s lascivious nature, he certainly wouldn’t give up on beauties like Jiang Lianyue and Xiao Hongyi.

“When does Eldest Senior Brother plan to return?” Qingning suddenly asked.

“Let Lin Feng run for a while, we’ll go back when it’s about time,” Jiang Chen replied.

“Can you wait for me for a few days?”

“Where are you going?”

“Hengduan Mountain Range!”

“Alright, go carefully! I will definitely wait for you to come back!”

“Thank you, Eldest Senior Brother!”

After saying this, Qingning rode off on Xiaobai.

Watching her leave, Jiang Chen sneered sinisterly.

Waiting was out of the question. Why should he wait for a madwoman?

Although his recent interactions with Qingning gave him the illusion that she was returning to her childhood days, he wouldn’t open his heart to Qingning again just because of this.

The pain of repeating nine lifetimes was too much.

He immediately instructed Liu Wen and the others after returning to the spirit boat, “Rest for a day, we’ll return to the sect tomorrow!”

Liu Wen and the others had no objections nor dared to object and quickly steered the spirit boat far away from Lingshan Town, planning to stop and rest ten li away.

The reason for this was that Lingshan Town no longer had its former prosperity.

The town looks like ruins, as there’s only a pile of broken eaves and walls remaining.

Soon, the spirit boat gradually moved away.

A plump middle-aged man quietly poked his head out from behind the broken walls, then let out a long sigh of relief.

He had been waiting for the stars and moon, and finally, Jiang Chen had left.

Ever since Jiang Chen arrived at Lingshan Town, this Town Master had been hiding at home every day, not daring to go out for fear of provoking the Jiang family and bringing disaster upon himself.

Who would have thought that disaster strikes from the sky when one least expects it!

He was just at home ‘discussing life’ with his concubine when that sudden Sword Qi almost took his head off!

Looking around at the sorry state of Lingshan Town, the middle-aged man felt heartache.

This Lingshan Town was his life’s work!

But now, nothing was left.

He glanced once more into the distance, where the spirit boat had completely vanished from sight.

“How dare they run amok in Lingshan Town?!”

The middle-aged man suddenly became furious, “So what if he’s the young master of the Jiang family? Today, I must take a stand even if I perish!”

With that, the middle-aged man drew his spirit sword, ready to charge out.

However, he had only taken one step forward as several cultivators rushed over, holding him tightly and shouted, “Master, you must not! We know you don’t fear power, but if you go and never return…”

“Then I shall never return!”

The middle-aged man waved his hand grandly, “Only by sacrificing oneself for righteousness can one be true to one’s heart!”

The cultivators all twitched at the corners of their mouths, instantly speechless.

Who didn’t know that this Town Master valued his own life above anything else?

They were just playing along with the act, but who knew the Town Master would really get into character!

Helplessly, the cultivators had to continue with the act, crying and wailing, barely managing to stop the middle-aged man from his ‘noble’ intentions.

“Report this matter immediately!” the middle-aged man ordered again.

“At once!”

……

On the other side, the spirit boat slowly descended into a place surrounded by dense forests, with only the center being flat.

After flattering Jiang Chen a few times, Liu Wen expressed his concern, “Eldest Senior Brother, we’ve made such a big fuss, won’t the Town Master of Lingshan Town complain to the Imperial Dynasty? If the Ninth Peak’s Peak Master learns of this, I’m afraid there will be another rage.”

“So what if he complains? The Imperial Dynasty won’t tear its face with the Jiang family over a mere market town. As for our master…”

Jiang Chen paused, his expression slightly somber, “If she wants to be angry, let her be.”

If Lin Feng were to join the sect, the plot would return to its original course.

Eventually, Xiao Hongyi’s complete disappointment in him was inevitable.

However, he would leave on his own accord before being stripped of his cultivation in this lifetime.

After all, his strength this time was far beyond any of his previous nine lifetimes. He did not want to start all over again.

Moreover, he didn’t want to see that look in Xiao Hongyi’s eyes again…

“Eldest Senior Brother is amazing, that Lin Feng was completely outplayed by you!” Liu Wen sensed something and quickly changed the subject.

Jiang Chen smiled and said, “After Lin Feng joins the Jiuyan Sect, he will surely find you all disagreeable. Do you know what to do then?”

“I understand!”

Liu Wen nodded. “I’ll beat him up when the time comes!”

“Nonsense!”

Jiang Chen cursed. “You think you can beat him? Just insult him and run away! Got it?”

“Understood, understood,” Liu Wen scratched his head, looking embarrassed.

“Whatever Eldest Senior Brother says, we’ll do. But Eldest Senior Brother, are you really sure that Lin Feng will join the Jiuyan Sect?”

“Of course,” Jiang Chen said with utmost confidence.

He had experienced nine cycles of reincarnation and had a firm grasp on Lin Feng’s character.

If it weren’t for the heavens’ intervention, he would have killed Lin Feng long ago!

Still, he wasn’t one hundred percent certain.

After all, the plot of this life had gone awry, with three people going mad one after another, and these three were important characters who could influence the storyline.

Although he couldn’t predict the actions of the madmen and their impact on the plot, Jiang Chen was very sure that as long as Lin Feng didn’t run into these three lunatics consecutively, he would definitely join the Jiuyan Sect!

Lin Feng had already encountered one, so the likelihood of him running into the other two consecutively was undoubtedly very low.

With these thoughts, Jiang Chen suddenly had a bad premonition.

He remembered Lin Mubai, who was sharpening his knife ominously in the dense forest…

He also recalled the many thatched latrines being built along the way and the scene where Jiang Lianyue was inquiring about how the latrines were built.

“Could it be possible?”

He started to feel uncertain again.
