Could it be that I am the cruel villain?

CHAPTER 462: CHAPTER 283: REGARDING LIN JIANGXIAN’S ORIGINS (1)
The gaze became sharp in an instant!
The wooden stake trembled, and the wooden post placed in the middle of the four suddenly appeared with a few cracks. Purple-black spiritual energy spread from the young man’s body, and the terrifying aura made the faces of the three women present change.
Ying Ling obviously felt a bit unsettled. She sensed a hint of fear and unease from Jiang Feng, and a strange sinister air flashed across the man’s mature old face. Coupled with his appearance full of wounds, it doubled the pressure on everyone’s heart.
This was definitely not the movement of the Purple Cloud Divine Technique.
Among those present, only Jin Yuan could still hold herself together, her eyes flickering as she assessed the potential threat Jiang Feng might pose to her now, her expression full of surprise and even a bit of dread, but she quickly returned to normal.
It might not be a bad thing.
The more powerful Jiang Feng was, the higher the possibility of their successful cooperation. Besides, as a true disciple of the Sword Immortal, he should have some skills. However, even the well-informed Jin Yuan couldn’t discern the exact nature of this man’s power.
"Continue."
The man emotionlessly uttered two words.
Whenever his family was mentioned, he had this kind of expression.
Lin Jiangxian was someone he personally brought back to Swordmaster Peak, his junior sister, but he actually treated her like a daughter.
Anyone who might threaten his junior sister would be eliminated without hesitation. If the three from the Joyful Sect posed a threat to Miss Lin,
he would personally send the three of them on their way together.
"The young master truly cares for his junior sister at home."
Jin Yuan remained calm and unhurried, even pouring a cup of tea for Jiang Feng. In these times, tea was the best way to express one’s friendliness, and being willing to pour tea for someone was a sign of respect.
"I don’t mean to sow discord, but I’m afraid Lin Jiangxian’s background isn’t that..."
"I understand, get to the point."
Again, an emotionless six words.
The dangerous gleam in his eyes became even more threatening. Miss Lin was born in the northern part of the Central Plains, and the first cultivation technique she practiced was the Nine Yin Profound Darkness Art.
She once lived in the influence area of the Xuanming Sect and had countless connections with those people. Over the years, Miss Lin started integrating the techniques together, showing no other signs, making it seem as if this matter could be quietly put to rest.
But unexpectedly, a few disciples from the Joyful Sect knew about this.
The Demon Heart Technique was stirring restlessly within, as the surging, viscous purple-black spiritual energy in the dantian sea relentlessly crashed against the shore, mercilessly pounding on the shabby thatched hut, but the hut remained unmoved.
The door was half ajar and not fully closed, allowing strands of pitch-black viscous spiritual energy to seep in through the crack, intensifying the man’s terrifying aura!
To kill and silence them.
This was the thought in Jiang Feng’s mind. If these women spread the word about Miss Lin’s background, she would inevitably find it difficult to move forward, at the very least being expelled from the sect, and at worst, hunted down by Xuanming Sect for revenge.
Even the senior sister would find it extremely difficult to protect Miss Lin in such a public opinion environment.
The dark purple spiritual energy of Demon Night True Monarch surged from the gap of the dantian, uniformly flooding through his entire body’s meridians as the Demon Heart Technique operated.
This was Liu Tangxi’s goal.
"Lin Jiangxian is the bloodline of the fourth elder of the Joyful Sect, a disciple of the current Hall Master of Qinxin Hall, the granddaughter of the previous Hall Master, and the junior sister to Mentyu Yunyu, the third-generation disciple."
The words flew quickly.
Even Jin Yuan couldn’t sit still in such a situation because the aura emanating from Jiang Feng was already terrifyingly close to freezing the air within several hundred meters around them!
She feared that if she was any slower with her words, Jiang Feng would directly decide to leave her and her two sisters behind.
The violent momentum stung people’s faces painfully, especially Ying Ling, who was full of shock in her beautiful eyes. When she fought with Jiang Feng the other night, she only felt he had some skills to fight her to a draw and thought that was the extent of Jiang Feng’s limits.
But who knew that just mentioning Lin Jiangxian, this lunatic would want to explode on her!?
The pressure from the aura and the purple-black spiritual energy twisted the surrounding air a little. The three sisters exchanged silent glances and adjusted their spiritual energy.
They actually wanted to have a good talk with Jiang Feng. Earlier, Ying Ling had proactively taken action just to prove to her two sisters that she was telling the truth, that Jiang Feng was indeed a good choice.
D**n it, who knew his temper was so explosive.
With the magic treasure already in hand, if this kid dared to make a move, while they might be apprehensive, they would definitely not be afraid. After all, they were the best disciples of the top sects, why should they fear him?
But...
The aura around Jiang Feng solidified for a moment, then instantly vanished.
The Demon Heart Technique stopped functioning, and the purple-black spiritual energy that had overflowed retreated back as if nothing had happened, the tense atmosphere disappearing in an instant.
Stunned.
Even Jiang Feng himself hadn’t noticed when he’d become so adept at controlling the Demon Heart Technique.
Initially, he didn’t understand the purpose of his senior sister asking him to learn the demon clan’s technique. One must know, as the Domain Master of the demon clan, Xin Yue was willing to impart the art. Though his senior sister never said it, she must have made a significant exchange to obtain it.
In Jiang Feng’s eyes, while the Demon Heart Technique was powerful, it wasn’t essential. Compared to the Purple Cloud Divine Technique, no, it should be called the Violet Firmament Sword Technique, which his senior sister passed on to him, both were equally matched.
The Violet Firmament Sword Technique was more enduring, righteous, stable, and when engaging with others, this stability made it the best choice for a technique, preventing any accidents.
If he wanted to defeat the strong with the weak, he would need a technique like the Demon Heart Technique that could catch opponents off guard, maximizing explosive power, but its side effects remained considerable.
Perplexed, Jiang Feng continued diligently researching and training. In the Purple Cloud Palace, it was alright, but after fighting with others outside, he finally understood his senior sister’s good intentions.
Only a technique personally created by Demon Night True Monarch could best control his power. Although there was only a narrow slit, and only a trace of power leaked from it, the Demon Heart Technique indeed allowed that power to circulate normally through the meridians.
Well, as for how long he could drive it with his current realm, it remained uncertain.
"Ah, so it’s Miss Lin’s maternal family, my apologies, please continue."
His face transformed in an instant.
The speed was jaw-dropping. Clearly, the previous second he had a look as though he wanted to silence them, but the next, it was as if he’d become a different person.
He even spontaneously held the teacup, setting his face as though willing to listen attentively.
"You..."
Ying Ling’s pretty face, hidden behind her veil, quivered a bit. She initially wanted to ask, "Are you insane?", but after a second thought, she didn’t want to accidentally provoke him again, so she changed her question, her expression taking on a peculiar look.
"You don’t suspect anything?"
"Oh, her cenotaph on the back mountain has the name Meng Yunyu on it."
