Great Villain: Starting by Humiliating the Son of the Heavenly Fate (Old Version)

"What's next?"

"Lin Feng and the others will surely attend the trade fair organized by the White Mountain Chamber of Commerce."

"At this trade fair, he is likely to flaunt his skills and reap significant benefits. I must prepare in advance and thwart his plans!"

Jiang Chen contemplated and retrieved the transmission jade token to send a message to the Jiang Clan, further tightening restrictions on the cultivators of the Jiang Clan and their affiliated clans.

In doing so, he aimed to prevent becoming a stepping stone for Lin Feng, who might exploit the situation.

Without hesitation.

With a single stride, his figure transformed into an afterimage and vanished from sight.

In no time.

Jiang Chen promptly arrived at the largest square in Autumn Glory City.

This expansive square is encircled by the city's most prominent market.

The Jiang Clan holds a quarter of the market share here, managing various sectors.

Their dealings encompass medicinal pills, elixirs, and other related products.

However, all of their medicinal pills and elixirs are merely ordinary, possessing average grades and quality.

There are no medicinal pills like the Upper Grade Clearing Mind Awakening Spirit Pill in the entirety of Autumn Glory City.

For Jiang Chen, in the Late Stage of the Spiritual Awakening realm,

There are scant cultivation resources in Autumn Glory City capable of having an immediate impact on his cultivation progress.

The arrival of the White Mountain Chamber of Commerce this time presents a valuable opportunity for him.

At this moment,

Jiang Chen strolled leisurely along the road.

His Late Stage Spiritual Awakening Realm cultivation was concealed by the Moondust Ring, causing him to appear as if he were only in the Early Stage Spiritual Awakening Realm.

However, he did not disguise his appearance.

Many people recognized him.

"Young Master Jiang!"

"Young Master Jiang Chen!"

"You've returned from the Starry Abyss Sect! That's wonderful!"

"Young Master Jiang, I just acquired a high-quality copper essence. If you're interested, please feel free to take it!"

"..."

Eager faces surrounded Jiang Chen, but they dared not approach too closely due to his aloof expression.

They all came bearing gifts.

Some offered spiritual medicines, others brought mineral materials, a few directly presented weapons, and some even brought beautiful women. It was a chaotic assortment.

Typically, gift-giving is not so overt, but who could fault them since Jiang Chen seldom returned and they had few other opportunities?

Jiang Chen disregarded the fawning gestures from these individuals.

"Villain's Eye!"

He activated the Villain's Eye and persistently scanned everyone within the range of his divine sense.

To anticipate Lin Feng's plans, he naturally needed to identify the "battlefield."

And the Villain's Eye could detect supporting characters!

Discovering the supporting characters meant identifying the targets that Lin Feng would either impress or befriend.

As he continued on his journey,

The Villain's Eye yielded no reactions, and there were only passers-by in the vicinity.

A message arrived through the transmission jade token.

It appeared that Lin Feng and his companions had already departed from Vast Spirit Residence.

"They've already set off?"

"I must hasten!"

Jiang Chen's eyebrows knitted slightly. Ignoring the astonished passers-by around him, he broke into a sprint!

As he raced,

He employed the Villain's Eye to scan everyone within his divine sense as he dashed past.

Jiang Chen was not moving aimlessly, but rather, directing himself toward the encampment of the White Mountain Chamber of Commerce in the square.

Before long,

A white three-story building materialized before his eyes.

This edifice served as the hallmark of the White Mountain Chamber of Commerce. It was typically stored in a capacious storage artifact and brought out whenever they visited a city of cultivators.

Surrounding the building were several carriages resembling transportation vehicles.

These carriages carried items unsuitable for storage in a storage artifact, such as spirit beast cubs, spirit beast eggs, and other living entities.

The White Mountain Chamber of Commerce was making preparations for the forthcoming trade fair.

There was a flurry of activity, with people constantly arriving and departing.

"Jiang Chen from the Jiang Clan has come to visit the president of the White Mountain Chamber of Commerce."

Jiang Chen proceeded directly, announced his identity, and stated his purpose for visiting.

There were staff members assigned to greet guests in front of the building.

"Please wait a moment!"

A woman who sensed Jiang Chen's Spiritual Awakening Realm aura bowed respectfully to him and went to relay his arrival.

However,

"I'm sorry, Young Master Jiang!"

"The president is feeling unwell this morning and is unable to meet with you for now. He can only have his steward meet with you in his place."

The woman promptly emerged and apologized, "The president said that once he feels better, he will personally visit the Jiang Clan to pay his respects to you."

"Feeling unwell?"

"Since that is the case, please have your president take good care and rest. I will take my leave first."

Jiang Chen nodded slightly, then turned and departed.

Although he didn't meet the president of the White Mountain Chamber of Commerce, Jiang Chen had essentially confirmed that he was a supporting character.

A supporting character akin to Jiang Yuqian, but with a more significant role than Jiang Yuqian.

If Lin Feng is the protagonist of the Divine Physician Path, how could he possibly treat only one supporting character?

Now that he couldn't see the president of the White Mountain Chamber of Commerce, Jiang Chen couldn't force his way in.

For the White Mountain Chamber of Commerce to achieve this status, they must certainly have a formidable background.

The transmission jade token once again delivered news that Lin Feng and his companions had arrived at the square.

"I have to go and 'coincidentally' encounter them."

"I can't allow Lin Feng to reap all the benefits by showing off and acting superior."

Jiang Chen's lips curled up as he swiftly soared towards Lin Feng and the others.

On the way there,

As the trade fair was about to commence, an increasing number of cultivators gathered, and street vendors began to appear one after another along the route.

"Street vendors..."

"This taste, yes, it's familiar. It's the flavor of the usual routine!"

Jiang Chen observed the street vendors around him, his eyes brightened and his lips formed a smile.

In the classic routine,

One common trope involves the protagonist discovering unexpected treasures at a roadside stall, which yields significant benefits.

And the vendor remains oblivious, believing he has made a fortune!

Alternatively, the confident protagonist might unveil the true value of the treasure, astonishing passersby, and feeling quite proud of himself. However, the vendor, upon realizing the item's worth, refuses to sell it, leading to the next plot development...

Jiang Chen expanded his divine sense, continuously scanning his surroundings.

However, perhaps due to the scarcity of roadside stalls, he did not detect anything unusual, nor did he spot any supporting characters.

Suddenly,

Three familiar figures appeared ahead: Lin Feng, Qiu Liaoxi, and Ning Xian.

Qiu Liaoxi walked in the middle, while Lin Feng and Ning Xian flanked her on either side.

As Jiang Chen spotted Lin Feng's group, they also noticed Jiang Chen.

"It's Jiang Chen!"

"He actually came to the White Mountain Chamber of Commerce's trade fair?"

"Damn, how come we keep running into him everywhere!?"

Upon seeing Jiang Chen, Lin Feng's heart skipped a beat, and a feeling of irritation gradually welled up within him.

Regrettably, he couldn't display his irritation too overtly and felt quite stifled.

"Alchemist Qiu, Miss Ning Xian, and Lin Feng!"

Jiang Chen approached the three with a smile on his face. "I didn't expect to run into you all here, what a coincidence."

"Yeah, Young Master Jiang, what a coincidence."

Qiu Liaoxi nodded with a smile, being very polite.

No one questioned why Jiang Chen was here.

This trade fair, jointly organized by the White Mountain Chamber of Commerce, the Zhou Clan, the Jiang Clan, and other forces, was not a common event in Autumn Glory City. Essentially, anyone who knew about it would come to take a look.

Therefore, it was normal for Jiang Chen to appear here.

"Young Master Jiang Chen, are you here alone?" Ning Xian inquired.

"Yeah, I just came alone to take a look around and see what's new."

"Since we've run into each other here, why don't we walk around together?"

Before the trio could respond, Jiang Chen walked over to Lin Feng and pointed ahead, saying, "Let's go, let's go take a look ahead."

Lin Feng was about to decline, but before he could say anything, Jiang Chen had already joined their group!

Now, he couldn't really refuse.

After all, in the eyes of Ning Xian and Qiu Liaoxi, Jiang Chen was a friend who had helped them before.

At the same time,

Ning Xian and Qiu Liaoxi were slightly surprised to see Jiang Chen join them directly.

However, when they saw Jiang Chen standing next to Lin Feng, the two of them suddenly realized something.

Over the past few days, Lin Feng had regained his cultivation, returning to his previous peak state of being in the Middle-stage Soul Refining, and even slightly surpassing it.

Upon witnessing this scene, Jiang Chen was undoubtedly very surprised.

In their eyes, Jiang Chen had always admired Lin Feng, and seeing his recent breakthrough, it was likely that Jiang Chen had once again set his sights on winning Lin Feng's loyalty.

Unfortunately, they were unaware that Jiang Chen had long been conscious of his feelings towards Lin Feng.

Moreover, the so-called "admiration" was nothing but a facade that Jiang Chen had created.

Everything he had done was for the sole purpose of killing Lin Feng!
