Great Villain: Starting by Humiliating the Son of the Heavenly Fate

Chapter 43: Finally Taking Action

Mirage Spirit Beaded Amulet.

This was the Spiritual Awakening realm treasure that Jiang Chen had chosen, imbued with the power to conceal divine senses and disguise one's aura.

"System! Exchange!"

[Ding! Deducting 700 points of Villain Value, you have successfully exchanged for 'Mirage Spirit Beaded Amulet'*1!]

The system prompt resounded.

A jade pendant materialized in Jiang Chen's hand.

Simultaneously, the remaining Villain Value balance plummeted to 700 points.

However, it was a worthy expenditure.

Furthermore, from this moment on, it was time for him to amass a substantial profit!

"Come forth!"

Jiang Chen beckoned someone with the transmission jade token.

Soon.

Elder Ge materialized nearby.

Ordinarily, such a task of transporting goods could be managed by regular subordinates.

However, to exercise caution, Jiang Chen opted to entrust Elder Ge with this responsibility.

After Elder Ge departed with the Mirage Spirit Beaded Amulet.

Jiang Chen proceeded to one of the Jiang Clan's estates to keep an eye on a Spiritual Awakening realm cultivator from the Illusory Slaying Tower, including Lin Feng.

He observed Lin Feng consolidating his cultivation.

Meanwhile, the Illusory Slaying Tower's cultivator was also gearing up for the impending mission.

Witnessing this.

Jiang Chen allocated a portion of his divine sense to surveil them and devoted the majority of his energy to cultivating the Cold Sky Frost Brilliance Secrets.

Time passed slowly.

Three days later, at night.

At the Golden Apricot Inn.

Lin Feng concluded consolidating his cultivation and resumed his practice.

At this moment, aside from Jiang Chen, Jiang Xingtai was also monitoring him.

Meanwhile.

The individuals from the Illusory Slaying Tower abruptly sprang into action!

"Finally taking action!"

Jiang Chen's lips curved upwards as he relayed a message to Jiang Xingtai, then he took a step and soared away at lightning speed.

He was astoundingly swift.

The five individuals from the Illusory Slaying Tower before him appeared as slow as snails in comparison.

Soon after.

He reached a location nearly a thousand meters away from the Vast Spirit Residence, from where he could survey it with his divine sense.

After waiting for a moment.

Cao Junli, Tian Wendong, and others approached the Vast Spirit Residence from various directions.

At this time.

The gates of the Vast Spirit Residence were shut, with both Ning Xian and Qiu Liaoxi, master and disciple, immersed in cultivation.

"This is the place!"

"Let's set up the formation first!"

Tian Wendong sneered coldly and gestured with his hand.

Immediately.

Cao Junli produced a massive stone tablet.

The front of the stone tablet was adorned with densely packed black patterns, while the back featured grooves embedded with spiritual stones.

'A formation plate that conceals movement!'

'These guys are quite professional.'

Jiang Chen's eyebrows lifted as he persisted in observing.

"A mere trash formation, I'll break it!"

Tian Wendong smirked and stepped forward, mustering the strength to kick the door.

Suddenly.

The gates of the Vast Spirit Residence crumbled with a thunderous crash!

...

At the Golden Apricot Inn,

"My cultivation speed has significantly slowed down!"

"I can't bear it. I must find a way to reclaim the wealth of Zhou Yihe and the others!"

Lin Feng furrowed his brow and rose from the bed.

But just as he was about to depart, his footsteps abruptly halted.

He felt a sense of unease in his heart, as though something unfortunate was on the horizon.

"This feeling...perhaps I shouldn't venture out for now."

Lin Feng clutched his chest and his frown intensified.

And so.

He sat down and brewed himself a cup of tea, attempting to calm his nerves.

At that moment,

Jiang Chen's silhouette materialized in the shadows, precisely two hundred meters away from the Vast Spirit Residence.

Should anything befall Ning Xian, he would spring into action without hesitation.

Given his Mysterious Platform-level abilities, traversing the two hundred meters would be nearly instantaneous!

Within the Vast Spirit Residence,

"Who goes there?!"

Qiu Liaoxi emerged from her room, her face etched with concern, while Ning Xian burst out, her eyes ablaze with fury.

All of a sudden,

The master and disciple were confronted by five unfamiliar cultivators on the lower floor!

Each of these five individuals radiated a formidable presence, rendering it challenging for them to breathe.

"Spiritual Awakening Realm!"

"They're all in the Spiritual Awakening Realm!"

"Who are you people? What brings you to my humble Vast Spirit Residence?"

Qiu Liaoxi's eyes flickered with a touch of apprehension, as she already surmised that the intruders sought the Thousand Green Pill Heart Records.

"Hahaha!"

"You must be Qiu Liaoxi, am I right?"

"I had assumed you'd be in the Spiritual Awakening realm by now."

"But to think you're still mired in the Soul Refining realm after all these years. How utterly pathetic."

"As for our purpose here, surely you have some inkling?"

Tian Wendong sneered, his expression dripping with disdain.

"You hail from the Purple Bamboo Spirit Mountain!"

Ning Xian's beautiful face contorted with rage, "After so many years, you still refuse to leave us be!"

"Ah!"

"Your name is Ning Xian, isn't it?"

"Qiu Liaoxi's disciple from Autumn Glory City? Quite the beauty!"

Tian Wendong appraised Ning Xian, his eyes momentarily widening in surprise before being overtaken by a lecherous glint.

"Revolting!"

"Absolutely revolting!"

"You people are utterly repugnant! And the same applies to the Purple Bamboo Spirit Mountain!"

"Did they not tell you that I, Ning Xian, originally hailed from the Ning Clan of Purple Bamboo Spirit Mountain?"

Ning Xian's brow furrowed, her gaze brimming with loathing.

It was apparent that the Purple Bamboo Spirit Mountain had concealed their extermination of the Ning Clan in a bid to safeguard their reputation.

Even Ning Xian, the sole surviving member of the Ning Clan, was recast as a native of Autumn Glory City by their machinations, as well as a disciple taken under Qiu Liaoxi's wing.

Such conduct by the Purple Bamboo Spirit Mountain was tantamount to committing heinous deeds while still coveting the veneer of sainthood.

"Oh?"

"Who would have thought such a thing transpired?"

"But that's irrelevant now!"

"Hand over the Thousand Green Pill Heart Records and the secret key, and come with us!"

"Or else...this shall be your destiny!"

Tian Wendong sneered, seizing the table beside him and rapidly corroding it with a chilling, sinister force.

"Hmph!"

"You're all living in a fantasy!"

Qiu Liaoxi scoffed coldly, feeling relieved that she had already entrusted the Thousand Green Pill Heart Records and the secret key to Lin Feng.

At this moment,

Her foremost priority was to protect Ning Xian and ensure Lin Feng's swift escape.

Thus,

In the midst of their conversation,

Qiu Liaoxi positioned herself protectively in front of Ning Xian, concealing a transmission jade token in her sleeve and using her divine sense to send a message to Lin Feng.

"Escape!!"

Buzz.

At the Golden Apricot Inn,

Lin Feng, who had been feeling uneasy even after sipping his tea, suddenly sensed the transmission jade token vibrating.

"Could it be Master or Ning Xian?"

Lin Feng's face lit up. He had lost face in front of Ning Xian and Qiu Liaoxi the last time, and had been torn about whether to return to the Vast Spirit Residence.

Now that Ning Xian and Qiu Liaoxi had taken the initiative to contact him, he naturally felt elated.

However,

The message on the transmission jade token read only 'Escape!!'

Lin Feng's smile abruptly vanished, his eyes widening with a mixture of fury and apprehension that engulfed him in an instant!

"Who?!"

"Who dares to lay a hand on my Ning Xian! Who dares to harm my Master!"

Lin Feng unleashed a bellow of profound sorrow and outrage, consumed by intense concern, as he burst through the roof, speeding towards the Vast Spirit Residence!

Ning Xian was the first girl to grace him with a smile after he descended the mountain.

Ning Xian and Qiu Liaoxi, the master-disciple pair, were the initial individuals he had encountered who radiated genuine goodwill towards him, following his prolonged experiences of disdain and humiliation at the Starry Abyss Sect.

Qiu Liaoxi had even entrusted him with a priceless inheritance despite knowing little about him!

In his heart,

He had already come to see Ning Xian as his own woman.

But now,

Ning Xian and Qiu Liaoxi faced peril!

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