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

Chapter 186: Confining Fang Yuan to the Healing Hall



Chapter 186: Confining Fang Yuan to the Healing Hall

At this juncture.

"Fellow sect members."

"The eruption of the Nether Demon Spiritual Qi within our sect this time is far from negligible."

"We must promptly exterminate those demonic beasts that have been tainted!"

"Let us now proceed directly to the nearest eruption site to vanquish these demons and purge this evil!"

Jiang Chen, his face burning with battle fervor, roused the crowd.

"Superb!"

"It's a privilege for a junior brother like me to battle alongside the Holy Son!"

"Brilliant, I will certainly obliterate those demonic beasts!"

"..."

The disciples too were ignited with zeal, their emotions running high!

However, contrasting opinions were also heard.

"Holy Son, those demonic beasts are extremely peculiar!"

"Many disciples who engaged with them inexplicably succumbed to the corrosive influence of the Bottomless Abyss Spiritual Qi, turning just like those demonic beasts, losing their rationality and attacking on sight."

"Despite efforts, those disciples can't be healed. Once they're affected, it's tantamount to a death sentence!"

"You represent the future of our Purple Heaven Holy Land, you mustn't put your life at risk!"

An elderly man at the Inquiring Journey realm voiced his concerns with a worried countenance.

Once his words were expressed, the rest of the group also regained their composure.

"Indeed, the Holy Son should not place his life in jeopardy!"

"If ordinary people like us were to perish, it would be one thing, but the Holy Son absolutely cannot risk himself!"

"..."

Many individuals felt that the elderly man's caution was valid and promptly began dissuading Jiang Chen.

"Fear not!"

"I've already procured a cure for the corrosion caused by the Bottomless Abyss Spiritual Qi!"

"It was documented in the jade slip from earlier! I personally have mastered this secret art."

"So, everyone, there's no need for concern. Proceed and slay those demonic beasts!"

Jiang Chen surveyed everyone, his demeanor warm and congenial, then raised his hand and swung it forcefully.

Upon hearing these words, disbelief washed over the faces of the crowd, and waves of astonishment surged in their hearts.

But before they could react, Jiang Chen had already transformed into a streak of light, soaring towards the horizon.

"Quickly! Follow the Holy Son without delay!"

Someone cried out and immediately took off, pursuing him.

The others, not wanting to lose the opportunity to battle alongside Jiang Chen, promptly followed suit!

En route, a message was relayed to Jiang Chen's transmission jade token.

He scanned it with his divine sense.

"Jiang Chen, what are you up to?"

"If you have the time, wouldn't it be better to personally deliver the 'Nether Qi Extraction Secrets' here? Ji Ruxue is currently present."

The message was from Ji Mingxiu: "You can also instruct her on how to master the 'Nether Qi Extraction Secrets'."

"In response to the master's message."

"I'm en route to the nearest Nether Demon Spiritual Qi eruption point to assist the frontline disciples!"

Jiang Chen retorted, "Please request Ji Ruxue to stay behind and avoid going out. I have logged the most comprehensive practice insights in the 'Nether Qi Extraction Secrets'. Have her start practicing."

"What!"

"You actually ventured to confront the demonic beasts!"

"Do you understand the risk associated with this? You might be able to handle those at the Inquiring Journey realm, but what about the ones at the Dao Comprehension realm? You're really being reckless!"

Ji Mingxiu was taken aback by Jiang Chen's words, his tone laced with urgency, "Jiang Chen, return immediately!"

"Master!"

Jiang Chen responded, "Flowers nurtured in a greenhouse cannot withstand wind and frost!"

"..."

"Good, well said. As your master, I won't hold you back any longer!"

Seeing Jiang Chen's transmission, Ji Mingxiu's expression shifted. A sense of relief started to grow in his heart, driving away his initial anxiety.

Jiang Chen was correct.

He, Ji Mingxiu, could shield Jiang Chen for a while, but not for a lifetime.

There would come a day when Jiang Chen would have to confront innumerable challenges alone; he truly required such toughening.

"Don't worry, I won't court trouble!"

"Junior Brother Fang Yuan hasn't fully recuperated yet. Please ensure that he rests properly and abstains from entering the battlefield."

Jiang Chen added, "If he were to be afflicted by the Nether Demon Spiritual Qi, I'd be compelled to return and extract it for him."

"Understood."

"I'll immediately assign Wenren Kang to monitor Fang Yuan."

Jiang Chen's words struck Ji Mingxiu as very logical. Without any hesitation, he instantly consented.

Seeing this, a slight smile appeared at the corner of Jiang Chen's mouth.

This eruption of the Nether Demon Spiritual Qi could possibly be the plotline centering on the protagonist, Fang Yuan, and his stage.

Hence, in this 'plot', besides showcasing himself, Fang Yuan would undeniably reap significant advantages.

As a result, Jiang Chen had to concoct a plan to tether him to the Healing Hall, preventing him from going out and capitalizing on opportunities!

At this moment, with his plan falling into place, he was naturally jubilant.

Just then, a succession of exceptionally vast and violent auras emanated from ahead.

Added to this were numerous auras from the cultivators of the Purple Heaven Holy Land.

Boom, boom, boom!

Clang, clang!

The sounds and flashes from various spells detonating and striking continuously emerged, interspersed with the terrifying roars of beasts and the battle cries of the Holy Land's disciples.

This location was the eruption point nearest to the Purple Heaven Holy Land, known as the Blue Waterfall Green Stone Plain!

A quick scan with his divine sense revealed a plethora of demonic beasts.

The count of demonic beasts was nearly tenfold greater than the beast tide that had sprung up in the Red Maple Heavenly Valley.

Most of them were Heavenly Origin realm demonic beasts, a handful were Inquiring Journey realm demonic beasts, and the most formidable were Dao Comprehension realm demonic beasts!

Indeed, Dao Comprehension realm demonic beasts had made their presence known in the Blue Waterfall Green Stone Plain, and it wasn't just a solitary creature, but three!

Three Dao Comprehension realm Elders were each grappling with one of the Dao Comprehension realm demonic beasts, and it was uncertain which side held the upper hand.

The other disciples of the Holy Land dared not encroach upon the battleground of the Dao Comprehension realm. Those weaker demonic beasts would also be promptly eliminated if they ventured close.

Circling the three Dao Comprehension realm battlegrounds, skirmishes of various scales were sprinkled around like stars.

Those who had come to fight were at least of the Heavenly Origin realm!

Moreover, every one of them was prepared to the hilt for defense, and they wholly depended on pills and spirit stones to rejuvenate their Yuan Power, refraining absolutely from absorbing the spiritual Qi in the atmosphere.

This significantly reduced their chances of being invaded by the Nether Demon Spiritual Qi.

However, there were still disciples who succumbed to the demonic beasts, their defenses broken, their bodies thoroughly infiltrated by the Nether Demon Spiritual Qi, transforming them into mindless killing machines unable to distinguish friend from foe.

The battlefield was embroiled in chaos.

Boom, boom, boom!

Mountains collapsed, the earth cracked open, and rivers evaporated!

A Holy Land deacon at the Inquiring Journey realm was locked in a fierce combat with a demonic beast of the same realm.

The Holy Land deacon was violently ejecting blood from every orifice, his body contorted from severe injuries already sustained.

If he carried on exchanging blows for a bit longer, his defenses would undoubtedly be breached, and even if he managed to survive, there was a high likelihood of being infiltrated by the Nether Demon Spiritual Qi!

Just at this critical juncture, "Silent Annihilation!!"

Suddenly, a clear and resonant voice, like a thunderbolt from the clear sky, detonated on the battlefield!

Simultaneously, a Milky Way-like sword Qi plummeted from the heavens, piercing straight through the Inquiring Journey realm demonic beast!

"Roar!!"

The Inquiring Journey realm demonic beast let out a wild and crazed howl, but it had no strength left to retaliate, and it collapsed abruptly!

"Silent Annihilation Sword Technique!"

"It's the Holy Son!"

"The Holy Son has come to our aid!"

"With a single sword stroke, he obliterated a Late-stage Inquiring Journey realm demonic beast. Is this the true might of our Holy Son!!"

"Too powerful, the Holy Son is only twenty years old! I've been cultivating for eight hundred years!"

"..."

One after another, the mighty figures from the Holy Land turned their gazes towards Jiang Chen, their eyes filled with a mix of awe and astonishment.

"Thank you, Holy Son, for saving my life!"

The deacon of the Holy Land, whose life was saved by Jiang Chen, was filled with gratitude as he paid his respects to Jiang Chen.
