Could it be that I am the cruel villain?

Chapter 486: Chapter 295 You Are Responsible for Betraying Me_2

To put it bluntly, they value his relationship with Liu Tangxi, and as for whether Jiang Feng’s strength can threaten Xuan Yinzi, no one cares, and no one expects him to truly eliminate the opponent.

The man just quietly watched the map drawn by Ying Ling, without saying a word.

Various thoughts flashed through his mind but were rejected one by one, as he pondered how to respond, his palm kept stroking the Qiankun Bag, and this somewhat hesitant expression naturally appeared uncertain in Ying Ling’s eyes.

So she spoke up.

"Young Master Jiang, in my opinion, you might as well first join the Purple Cloud Palace Disciples, release information, let him know you are here, and mingle with the sect disciples, in this way, you might have a chance in a direct confrontation."

"Although it would lose the element of surprise and the advantage of ambush, it would be more secure, and even if you can’t take him down in a direct confrontation and he escapes, it wouldn’t matter."

"The Joyful Sect will not go back on their word, as long as you do your best, during this time Joyful Sect will also do everything to provide..."

He raised his hand.

Jiang Feng seldom interrupts others, as he always feels that interrupting others is very impolite, but this time was an exception.

The two met eyes, and the lighthearted and playful look from before was replaced by an indescribable intensity as they looked at Ying Ling.

A magnetic and profound voice sounded.

"No, you have to find a way to leak information and sell me out."

"Ah?"

For a moment, she almost thought she had misheard.

What does it mean? Sell out? Leak information?

Is Jiang Feng suspicious of me? Or the sect?

Her mind was a mess, not quite understanding what Jiang Feng meant, but the man looked incredibly focused, his fingers picking up a twig and rhythmically tapping the ground.

Each tap seemed to knock directly on the heart.

"You did not mishear, I need your people to betray me and leak my information."

Ying Ling stared straight at the man’s face, hoping to see a hint of a joke, but alas.

No.

He was serious.

"W-Why? Can it be that you don’t trust us?"

He shook his head.

Complex emotions flashed in his eyes, and after a deep breath, he understood that the plan was a bit far-fetched, but human inspiration can create miracles in a moment.

"No, of course I trust you."

"But now I require you to fully cooperate with my actions."

"Have your people show a flaw, there’s no need to get caught, just have your disciples enforce the law by baiting, spread rumors among the cultivators in the city about the Sword Immortal’s direct disciple."

"Find a way to let it reach the ears of Xuanyin Sect, so that it inevitably reaches Xuan Yinzi, telling them I am already on my way to Fish City and plan to join forces with the Purple Cloud Palace Disciples."

"Then, sell this information to Xuanyin Sect at a high price!"

Ying Ling did not immediately agree.

Instead, she silently remembered everything, knowing that Jiang Feng definitely had a plan, but before hearing it, she wouldn’t agree lightly.

Being a disciple of the Joyful Sect, she had to be responsible for the sect disciples’ safety and be accountable to allies; if something went wrong with Jiang Feng, the responsibility would fall on her and her sisters.

Making a gesture of invitation, and just to be safe, she waved her tiny hand to summon the Joyful Ring and Pearl of the Celestial Lake, completely enveloping the area; unless a Nascent Soul Stage expert came, no one could see through it.

She glanced up to Ying Ling.

"Regarding my whereabouts and news, convey everything to Xuanyin Sect truthfully along the normal course of events."

"However, slightly slow down the speed, to about half a day ago, now spread the news that I am approximately three hundred miles away from Yang County."

"Once this news reaches Xuan Yinzi’s ears, they will no longer have time to rest and recover, but will directly come after us."

"Especially Xuan Yinzi himself, I will wait for him on his inevitable path."

With furrowed brows, Ying Ling unusually did not cooperate, but rather asked back.

"Why do you think he will directly chase after learning your whereabouts?"

"Because my life is valuable!"

With eyes ablaze, this was the first time Ying Ling heard such a confident voice, answering without hesitation.

"Everyone is watching me, especially those in opposition; for the Xuanyin Sect disciples, I am also a coveted prize, the most valuable battle achievement in their eyes!"

"A Sword Immortal’s heir, at a low realm, just these two factors combined would attract countless people, why did Xuan Yinzi come to Country Liang this time? Simply to spar with others?"

"Or for tourism?"

"Neither, Jin Yuan had said before, this person failed in two consecutive attempts to break through to the Nascent Soul, now he comes out to prove his worth, to impress in front of his grandpa, the Sect Master!"

"Does he have any way out?"

With a faint sneer on his face.

Jiang Feng might be a cultivation idiot, perhaps ignorant of the various factions’ open and hidden strifes, but he understands human nature.

He understands human feelings.

Seeing the astonished expression on Ying Ling’s face, the man stated without hesitation: "He, as the youngest child in the family, enjoys numerous resources, yet failed two attempts to break through to Nascent Soul."

"Can you endure such public pressure?"

"By right, with his status, he shouldn’t have come to Country Liang at all, there was no need for him to participate because the risk wasn’t worth the gain, not even our sect’s Peak Masters or future pillars of Phoenix Heavenly Cave came."

"Yet he came, with a clear purpose aimed at me, why do I assert that he will certainly pursue?"

"Because he wants to use my head to shut the mouths of everyone at Xuanyin Sect."

The final words woke up Ying Ling.

With his palm constantly exploring the Qiankun ground, and it might be an illusion, Ying Ling suddenly smelled a whiff of gunpowder and saltpeter, a scent normally only detectable during sect celebrations or New Year.

A copper-colored object, shining with a metallic luster, was held in the man’s hand, precisely engraved with many patterns, and based on her experience, it wasn’t difficult to tell it was inscribed with the Thunder Technique.

For some reason, as soon as this object appeared, Ying Ling’s body tensed, as if the unremarkable item in Jiang Feng’s hand posed an immensely terrifying threat.

But the man continued talking to himself.

"We don’t want to see him trailing behind the sect people, and likewise, Xuan Yinzi wouldn’t want to see me mingling with the sect people."

"For him, as long as I join forces with the sect disciples, his chances of eliminating me are almost gone. He can’t accept this, and neither can I."

"You ask me how to deal with the enemy, how to eliminate these three people, I will give you the answer; now, just do as I instruct."

He sighed.

She didn’t know where Jiang Feng got his confidence from, but with things said to this extent, she couldn’t refuse anymore, a silhouette directly arose from the ground, and a slender finger quickly sketched a strange symbol on the silhouette.

"Even if he really does as you envisioned, what if a group comes over to intercept you?"

"No, if a group comes to kill me, that’s teamwork, but if he comes alone to finish me, that’s turning the tide, he won’t let anyone interfere."

"But..."

The words were swallowed back.

"Once conflict starts here, then have fellow disciples directly pounce and hold everyone else back."

"The battlefield on both sides can be tugged repeatedly, whether it’s attacking aid or cutting off aid, as long as no one interferes with this field, it’s fine."

"Senior sister won’t strike immediately, but will first explore the whereabouts of those two experts from Xuanyin Sect nearby, once discovered, she will intercept them at once..."

Fingers continually drew, accurately conveying Jiang Feng’s earlier words and instructions, but at the end, Jiang Feng added a statement.

Looking at Ying Ling.

"I would like to borrow two items from you."
