Could it be that I am the cruel villain?

Chapter 406: The Crisis at the Border


Achoo!

She rubbed her nose, full of confusion, and took a step back to dodge the sharp sword.

Thousands of miles away, Liu Tangxi was filled with perplexity. Just now, she seemed to feel someone talking bad about her behind her back. But as she sneezed, one or two figures simultaneously lunged at her, creating a scene identical to Jiang Feng's predicament, with the siblings' actions remarkably similar.

Not bothering to draw her weapon, she raised her hand high, delivering a slap to left and right, knocking the attackers back.

Miss Lin and Liang Yu steadied themselves, expertly coordinating their movements, continuing to search for openings—an everyday occurrence at the mountain gate. She usually trained her disciples this way.

Though she was ostensibly bullying her junior sister, what she was thinking about was the trouble this boy was stirring outside, causing her name to be mentioned...

"So the reason you pressured the Yan Family three years ago was just to acquire this plot of land?"

For a moment, someone found it both funny and frustrating.

He had almost forgotten about this matter. Feeling the surroundings now, he realized indeed, his senior sister had left many traces of her life here, especially Sword Qi—since she liked to use her Sword Qi for daily tasks—making his residence a real feng shui treasure.

Though it was a man-made treasure.

As long as Liu Tangxi seriously unleashes a Sword Qi, it can suppress evil spirits for decades without dispersing. Decades ago, the ravines she carved in battles could have young disciples pondering for years without understanding.

In the Divine Land, there are at least hundreds of demons suppressed by her Sword Qi. As long as Liu Tangxi doesn't die, these Sword Qi won't disappear. The legends about Liu Xianzi are countless, but Jiang Feng, who is close to her, is accustomed to his senior sister's omnipotence.

Liu Tangxi lived in Qingshui County for at least half a year, spending three months in Jiang Feng's home, while the rest of her time was spent in a secluded place to recuperate and investigate traces of the Demon Night True Monarch.

Even a tree branch she casually chops off could allow a group of Sword Cultivators to study for years before unveiling its mysteries. Not to mention a girl new to Sword Dao, for An Rou, this place is truly a sacred ground for Sword Dao.

Before anyone could speak, Jiang Feng shook his head.

"It's not quite a feng shui treasure. It's just my senior sister lived here for a few months, beating me up from time to time, leaving behind considerable Sword Qi that surprisingly hasn't dissipated in years."

Eyes almost popped.

Senior sister? Just living here for a few months left Sword Qi that hasn't dissipated after years?

They are not fools like Jiang Feng without cultivation knowledge. Having spent decades in the Cultivation World with rich experience, usually, for cultivators at their realm fighting here, no matter how intense, it would completely dissipate in a few days.

If it's above Nascent Soul Stage, it may last for ten days to half a month. Even Divinity Transformation masters can only have Spiritual Energy condense for a few months without disappearing...

And then your senior sister casually beats you, leaving Sword Qi that hasn't dissipated for years? What sort of land-immortal is your senior sister...wait!

The eyebrows raised sharply, they glanced at each other, soon a trace of horror flickered in their eyes. Although Jiang Feng didn't mention who his senior sister was, within the Purple Cloud Palace, those who meet the requirement can be counted on fingers.

The realm starts from Fusion at minimum, is female, uses a sword, a single Sword Qi could make people ponder for years, and the disciple before them named Jiang Feng holds a token only "Direct Disciples" possess.

The question arises, who fits this description in the entire Purple Cloud Palace?

"Are you the one taken under Peak Master Liu's newly...?"

Spoken instinctively.

The name Jiang Feng isn't particularly famous, or rather it's his identity as the "Sword Immortal's heir" that's truly renowned. No one cares what his actual name is, be it Jiang Feng or Wang Feng. Moreover, Qingshui County is at the border; news circulates slower than in the Central Plains, even now more than half of the sect members don't know who Jiang Feng is.

They only recognize the identity of Sword Immortal's heir.

However, Jiang Feng did not linger on this topic but glanced around, starting to search for something in the backyard, following his memory from three years ago, while wandering around very calmly.

"Let's get one thing straight, the Yan Family fostered me for a full seventeen years."

"You should have heard about the Yan Family's future son-in-law and their daughter breaking off the engagement; it's not much of a secret locally."

"As luck would have it, I'm that unlucky son-in-law."

His steps halted.

The revelation startled two people so much their legs went weak, shaking with fear, almost dropping to their knees.

Only An Rou remained oblivious, just sheathed her longsword, obediently following her elders without uttering a word, showing immense curiosity towards Jiang Feng. She smelled a familiar scent from him.

From her bewildered expression, it's clear this matter truly has nothing to do with her, also indicating her elders' protection and care were spot-on; they avoided letting anything that could affect her cultivation or mentality contact her.

"Oh, right."

Jiang Feng already reached an inconspicuous corner in the backyard, squatting down, not minding the dirt, tapping the stone tiles on the ground, seemingly searching for something.

"The daughter of the Yan Family is called Yan Yurou, and she was my ex-wife."

"You must have heard this name, but you probably don't know why she isn't at the Yan Mansion; likely you don't care about her whereabouts."
