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

Chapter 78



Moments later, Jiang Chen appeared on the spacious main road along with a group of people.

He looked at the collapsed thatched huts in front of him, Liu Wu who seemed to be frightened and trembling at the scene, and Jiang Lianyue who was running towards him, and fell into thought.

He didn’t think it was necessary to ask.

After all, through nine cycles of reincarnation, Jiang Lianyue, like a Daoist protector, had immense trust in Lin Feng.

Even if she had gone mad, there was no reason for her to attack Lin Feng.

But…

“Eldest Senior Brother, I stabbed Lin Feng with a sword! He ran back to the Lower Domain!” Jiang Lianyue said excitedly as she rushed over.

As she spoke, she wriggled into Jiang Chen’s arms like an eel, hugging his waist and looking up at him with blinking eyes, a look that screamed ‘praise me’.

Jiang Chen was at a loss for words.

The Son of Destiny ran back to the Lower Domain… does that means he is not going to join Jiuyan Sect?

This plot has completely collapsed!

He really didn’t understand.

Madness aside, why did Qingning, Lin Mubai, and Jiang Lianyue all have something against Lin Feng?

Was it him who was poisonous, or Lin Feng?!

“…just tie her up.”

Jiang Chen massaged his temples.

……

Half an hour later, on the spiritual boat.

It was now early morning, and Jiang Chen stood on the deck with his hands behind his back, seemingly enjoying the breeze but actually cursing inwardly.

On the left and right sides of the deck, Jiang Lianyue and Lin Mubai were tied up.

The two of them occasionally exchanged glances, then sneered and scoffed at each other, not knowing what madness they were up to next.

It’s worth mentioning that Liu Wen and the others didn’t dare to tie up Jiang Lianyue, so it was Jiang Chen who personally took action.

At first, Jiang Lianyue thought Jiang Chen was going to play some kind of game and was somewhat excited. But seeing Jiang Chen’s constant stern face, she didn’t dare to speak anymore.

Liu Wen and Liu Wu, the two brothers, huddled together.

Seemingly saddened by Liu Wu’s plight, Liu Wen sighed repeatedly as he patted his brother’s shoulder.

Liu Wu nodded, hugged his younger brother, and presented a demeanor of ‘elder brotherly love and younger brotherly respect.’

Jiang Chen remained silent, and no one dared to speak.

For a moment, the atmosphere on the spiritual boat was extremely heavy.

Finally, he made his move.

Approaching Lin Mubai, Jiang Chen asked with utmost seriousness, “Second Junior Brother, why did you try to kill Lin Feng? You two hadn’t even met before, right?”

“Uh…”

Lin Mubai was at a loss for words.

He couldn’t possibly tell the truth.

After hesitating for a while, he braced himself and said, “I could feel that Lin Feng’s birth chart clashed with mine!”

Jiang Chen’s mouth twitched, then he turned to Jiang Lianyue and asked, “What about you?”

Jiang Lianyue looked at Lin Mubai with shock in her eyes.

She hadn’t expected that Lin Mubai, who regarded Lin Feng as an elder brother in the nine cycles of reincarnation, would actually try to kill him!

But after hearing Lin Mubai’s response, she once again looked at him as if he were insane.

Hearing Jiang Chen’s question, she too felt a jolt in her heart.

Not knowing how to respond, she also braced herself and said, “That Lin Feng is so ugly. He just has a face that’s asking to be punched!”

“Hmph!”

Lin Mubai scoffed upon hearing this.

Jiang Lianyue immediately glared at him.

Jiang Chen felt a bit dizzy.

Qingning had buried Lin Feng alive.

That could be explained by Qingning being deceived by someone and trying to save her contracted beast.

But Lin Mubai and Jiang Lianyue? Weren’t their answers just pure madness?

Unable to understand them, Jiang Chen could only analyze the situation in his mind and eventually came to a conclusion.

Those who are mad seem to be unaffected by Lin Feng’s ‘Son of Destiny’ aura.

Not only do they not feel any affinity, but they can also see through Lin Feng’s true nature!

He quickly noted this down in his mental notebook.

He had always wanted to lay low, relying on the system to slap Lin Feng’s face and then wait to ascend.

But the current situation was clearly not that simple.

With three important figures going mad, the difficulty had greatly increased, and he would have to act cautiously from now on.

“Liu Wen, replenish the spirit stones! Let’s go!” Jiang Chen waved his hand grandly.

“Where to?” Liu Wen asked.

“Lower Domain!”

Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes and said coldly, “Even if I have to search the entire Lower Domain, I must bring Lin Feng back and have him apprentice at Jiuyan Sect! No one will stop my grand plan!”

The determination in his words stunned everyone.

After coming back to their senses, Jiang Lianyue and Lin Mubai fell into deep thought.

At this moment, they finally understood that they must have caused trouble and disrupted Jiang Chen’s grand plan!

But what exactly was this grand plan?

The two only knew that Jiang Chen wanted to be the villain in this life, but they were unaware of his system’s mission.

While the two were deep in thought, Jiang Chen said, “Second Junior Brother, Fifth Junior Sister. It’s true that Lin Feng is annoying, but we must be broad-minded and not judge people by their appearances! Understand?”

The two didn’t speak, only remaining silent.

“Bringing that Lin Feng back to Jiuyan Sect might be an eyesore, but it allows us to torment him up close,” Jiang Chen added.

Both of their eyes lit up upon hearing this!

This made Jiang Chen breathe a sigh of relief. He thought to himself: As expected, you have to deceive a madman to get them to comply.

And as the spiritual boat slowly made its way towards the Lower Domain.

A red whip extending from the horizon suddenly struck the boat’s defensive formation.

“Crack—!”

The formation instantly cracked and then shattered into fragments.

By the time everyone regained their senses, they saw a red figure on the deck of the spiritual boat.

“Master, why have you come?” Jiang Chen was surprised.

The red figure was none other than Xiao Hongyi.

She was expressionless and did not respond to Jiang Chen, instead frowning slightly as she looked at Lin Mubai and Jiang Lianyue, who were tied up.

“Where are Lin Feng and Qingning?” Xiao Hongyi asked.

“Qingning is in the Hengduan Mountain Range, and Lin Feng seems to have run back to the Lower Domain. I was just about to go and catch… bring him back,” Jiang Chen replied.

This time Xiao Hongyi reacted, turning to look directly at him.

She just stared at Jiang Chen, still expressionless, neither speaking nor leaving.

Jiang Chen instantly understood something and said helplessly, “Master, where did you learn this silent treatment from?”

“Ancient Pill Tower, Buddha Temple, and other major sects, as well as the master of Lingshan Town, have sent people to Jiuyan Sect, saying you destroyed Lingshan Town while commandeered a spiritual boat,” Xiao Hongyi finally spoke.

Jiang Chen inwardly acknowledged that it was as he had expected and shrugged his shoulders.

He had indeed caused the destruction, so there was nothing to explain.

But he was very clear. The sects and the town master had specifically gone to Jiuyan Sect to complain, not only wanting him to be punished but certainly also demanding a hefty compensation.

“The total is 160,000 medium-grade spirit stones, which I have already compensated,” Xiao Hongyi continued.

160,000 medium-grade spirit stones were an amount many upper four realm cultivators could not afford.

Jiang Chen knew that even if Xiao Hongyi had a strong backing, such a large number of spirit stones would be a significant loss.

Originally, he had no intention of compensating.

But at this moment, he could only say, “… Disciple will have the Jiang family compensate Master.”

“Jiang Chen, let me ask you.”

Xiao Hongyi took a deep breath and asked seriously, “Do you think I came here to demand spirit stones from you?”

Jiang Chen was silent.

From the moment he destroyed Lingshan Town, he knew that Xiao Hongyi and even the higher-ups of the Jiuyan Sect would be furious.

But he didn’t care.

As long as he could get Lin Feng to apprentice at Jiuyan Sect and garner enough hatred, it wouldn’t affect him much even if he was expelled from the sect early.

But now that Lin Feng had run away, things had gone beyond his control.

Just as Jiang Chen was thinking about admitting his mistake this time and buying some time.

“This matter will be discussed again at the sect. You’ve offended so many sects at once, so there might be danger. I will protect you on your return to the sect,” Xiao Hongyi said.

“???”

Jiang Chen was instantly dumbfounded.

Based on his understanding of Xiao Hongyi, she would definitely be furious and extremely disappointed in him for making such a grave mistake.

But now, Xiao Hongyi was still worried about his safety?

This was not in her character!

Could it be…

“Master, have you gone mad too?” Jiang Chen asked in astonishment.

“Nonsense!”

Xiao Hongyi stepped forward and flicked Jiang Chen’s forehead with her finger, “Even if I were to go mad, it would definitely be because of you driving me to madness!”

Uh…

His forehead hurt a little, but Jiang Chen let out a sigh of relief.

Her character was back to normal.

Xiao Hongyi seemed to want to say something else, but ultimately, she gave up with a sigh.

She looked up at the sky, puzzled in her heart: “Before leaving the sect, why did Ancestor tell me not to punish Jiang Chen? And why did he say he didn’t want me to have regrets?”

Unable to figure it out, she gave up and asked, “Have you seen Li Fadu?”

Li Fadu?

Jiang Chen shook his head.

“Li Fadu, upon learning that you destroyed Lingshan Town, took advantage of my communication with Ancient Pill Tower and other sects to leave with many disciples from the Hall of Enforcement. It seems that he is looking for you,” Xiao Hongyi explained.
