Great Villain: Starting by Humiliating the Son of the Heavenly Fate (Old Version)

"No."

"Please ask someone on the Sect Master's side to convey my apologies."

Jiang Chen shook his head, realizing without a doubt that this sect competition was just another event designed to confine him within the Starry Abyss Sect and provide Lin Feng with time to develop.

Compared to the stakes of his young life, the core disciple position held little significance.

"Understood!"

Elder Ge replied.

He genuinely could not comprehend why Jiang Chen placed such great importance on Lin Feng.

Holding back the numerous questions in his mind, Elder Ge retrieved a jade token and began sending a message.

"Let's proceed."

Jiang Chen activated the formation and headed straight for Autumn Glory City, with Elder Ge following closely behind.

Shortly after,

"The Sect Master has consented!"

Elder Ge stored the jade token and announced.

"Hmm."

Jiang Chen gave a faint nod.

Simultaneously, a system prompt echoed in his mind.

[Ding! You have slightly altered the plot, earning 100 Villain Value points!]

"Changing the plot again, even if it's a minor adjustment, it's quite satisfying!"

A smile tugged at the corners of Jiang Chen's lips.

By now, he had roughly grasped the notion that altering the plot centered around himself would likely be deemed minor adjustments.

Only modifying the main character's plot direction would be considered a significant change, and the amount of Villain Value gained should be substantially higher.

As he continued onward,

Jiang Chen retrieved his transmission jade token and contacted his second uncle, the current head of the Jiang Clan and Mysterious Platform Realm cultivator, Jiang Xingtai.

Leaving out details like the system, villain, and protagonist, Jiang Chen provided Jiang Xingtai with a general overview of the situation.

To Jiang Xingtai, it seemed that Lin Feng had received assistance from a distinguished individual, had been granted immense fortune, and would pose a significant threat to Jiang Chen in the future.

Jiang Chen's standing within the Jiang Clan was quite prominent.

His father, Jiang Xingyang, had been the young master of the previous generation of the Jiang Clan, Jiang Xingtai's older brother, who was also a Mysterious Platform powerhouse.

His mother, too, was a Mysterious Platform powerhouse, and it seemed that many years ago, the couple had left Autumn Glory City in pursuit of attaining the Heavenly Origin Realm.

Furthermore, it was almost a certainty that Jiang Chen himself would reach the Mysterious Platform Realm and was already a core disciple of the Starry Abyss Sect.

As a result, the entire Jiang Clan held Jiang Chen in the highest esteem!

Consequently,

Jiang Xingtai swiftly assured Jiang Chen that he would dispatch Jiang Clan cultivators to secretly search for and observe Lin Feng.

Thus,

The Jiang Clan, a colossus occupying half of Autumn Glory City, discreetly extended numerous tendrils!

However,

Autumn Glory City was indeed vast, and as the central city of the surrounding region, it harbored a substantial transient population.

Pinpointing Lin Feng amidst such a sprawling area and throngs of people would prove exceedingly challenging.

Moreover,

Lin Feng still possessed the protagonist's status and was protected by the Heavenly Fate.

Attempts to target him rarely unfolded smoothly.

Until Jiang Chen and Elder Ge reached Autumn Glory City, the Jiang Clan cultivators had been unable to locate Lin Feng.

At the eastern city gate of Autumn Glory City,

Beneath the shadows cast by a nearby building,

"He still hasn't been found."

"No matter, I have the Aura Finder Smoke!"

Jiang Chen stored the transmission jade token in his possession and withdrew a black incense stick, already burnt a quarter of its length.

Upon determining Lin Feng's position,

He had snuffed out the Aura Finder Smoke to conserve it. Now, it was primed for use once again.

Fwoosh.

A small portion of the Aura Finder Smoke flared up, swiftly pinpointing Lin Feng's location.

"How convenient!"

"It wasn't a waste to spend 300 Villain Value points."

The corners of Jiang Chen's mouth curved slightly as he sent messages to Jiang Xingtai and Elder Ge, hastening towards the direction of Vast Spirit Residence.

Upon receiving Jiang Chen's message, Jiang Xingtai and Elder Ge immediately sprang into action.

Before long,

Jiang Chen materialized in a courtyard near the Vast Spirit Residence.

Gazing at the Vast Spirit Residence just a short distance away, he thought,

"Is he here?"

Jiang Chen's eyes narrowed with a hint of caution.

Although he possessed divine sense that allowed him to detect everything within a 100-meter radius with remarkable clarity,

He suspected that a formidable figure had escorted Lin Feng to Autumn Glory City.

If such a powerhouse were indeed present, it would be problematic if he were to inadvertently alert them.

To address this concern,

He had already requested Elder Ge to dispatch someone to investigate, and Jiang Xingtai's side was conducting inquiries as well.

The subsequent course of action would depend on the findings of these probes.

A message reached Jiang Chen.

"Besides the patrons at the Vast Spirit Residence Inn today, only one black-clad, cloaked man has entered the Vast Spirit Residence, and he was alone?"

"Based on his silhouette, he closely resembles Lin Feng."

"Hmph, excellent!"

Upon reading the message, the corners of Jiang Chen's mouth twisted into a cold smirk, and he promptly expanded his divine sense!

Instantly!

Everything within a hundred-meter radius, encompassing more than thirty thousand square meters, became astonishingly clear.

This transformation

Felt as if a severely nearsighted person had suddenly regained their vision and beheld an entirely new world.

Naturally,

As an inn, the Vast Spirit Residence was committed to safeguarding the privacy of its guests.

Each room had its own independent protective formation.

At this moment, the room Lin Feng occupied had its formation already activated.

Aside from that,

The public areas of the Vast Spirit Residence were not shielded by formations, allowing Jiang Chen's divine sense to pass through unobstructed.

The yellow-shirted maiden Ning Xian, a brown-robed elderly woman, and several cooks and waitresses all came into Jiang Chen's view.

"Huh!"

"This maiden is stunning!"

"And she's an Elemental Movement cultivator as well."

"Did I just stumble upon something? She's so beautiful and appearing near Lin Feng; could she be the unpursued heroine?"

Jiang Chen instantly recognized Ning Xian's extraordinary beauty and promptly activated his Villain's Eye.

Immediately,

Some information appeared before him.

[Name: Ning Xian

Realm: Elemental Movement Early-stage

Status: Heroine (Unpursued)

Fate Value: 2243]

"Unbelievable! As expected, she's a heroine."

"Or perhaps one of the heroines."

"But she's an unpursued heroine, like a pristine flower bud."

Jiang Chen observed Ning Xian's information, his mouth curving into a wide grin.

The heroine was one of the most significant means to undermine the protagonist!

Ning Xian would undoubtedly play a crucial role in Lin Feng's rapid ascent to power.

At this moment, she had minimal contact with Lin Feng, merely a passing acquaintance, which made it the perfect opportunity to intervene.

Once he succeeded in influencing Ning Xian, he would not only significantly weaken Lin Feng's Heavenly Fate Value but also capture a beautiful girl, essentially reaping enormous benefits.

Just imagine a beauty of the heroine's caliber; who wouldn't be captivated?

"System!"

"Just to be prepared for the worst, if the instigation fails, can I kill Ning Xian?"

The smile on Jiang Chen's face faded away as he inquired in his mind.

[Ding! You can't!]

[Remind the host that the heroine's 'Fate Value' and the protagonist's 'Heavenly Fate Value' are closely related!]

[If the protagonist loses his protagonist status when you kill the heroine, the severity of the consequences is no less than directly killing the protagonist!]

"Okay."

"I'm just considering it, I'm not the kind of person who would heartlessly trample flowers."

Jiang Chen smiled, then took out his transmission jade token to send a message to his second uncle Jiang Xingtai, asking him to investigate the background of Vast Spirit Residence.

Ning Xian had a heroine template, so she must be no ordinary person!

Jiang Chen wasn't going to take any chances and rush in recklessly.

Not long afterwards.

Jiang Xingtai sent a reply.

It had to be said that the Jiang Clan did have a lot of influence in Autumn Glory City!
