Could it be that I am the cruel villain?

Chapter 180: Chapter 130: Exchange of Tokens 【4K】

"You two-faced scoundrel."

"It was you who were clamoring that eliminating evil is promoting good and saving evil is committing evil, and now you are the one complaining about people destroying corpses to cover their tracks."

"Ugh, truly annoying."

"I never imagined in my life that the true nature of those people could be so detestable..."

Her complexion looked somewhat unsightly.

Her long hair stuck to her forehead and temples, showing signs that she was also quite exhausted.

If it were just a fight against Hou Zhongxiao, it would be alright since they are in the same realm, but her skills could definitely be described as a dimension-reducing strike. However, adding that small-faced man to the mix was a bit too much for her.

Yes, talking about that small-faced man who lacks Spiritual Energy, but still has to rely on the Paper Spirit in his hands to lead the way; it gives one the illusion he’s being kept.

"When are we going to wait until?"

She glanced at the two people in the distance destroying corpses, as Miss Cen, who has lived in a sheltered environment all her life, naturally didn’t understand the other’s intentions.

In her naive world, with the Red Flower Temple filled with Gu Worms and so many deformed creatures around, burning down the Red Flower Temple wouldn’t be a problem, even with quite a few civilians around, since they all looked crazed.

Licking Gu Worms and gnawing at corpses, even if they were reluctantly saved, would probably be a calamity later.

With such a big commotion, she had thought about asking those responsible for guarding the border what exactly had allowed Hou Zhongxiao to rove freely for so long.

But Jiang Feng just frowned and silently watched the distance.

Another half-hour passed, and the blazing fire that had all but consumed the entire Red Flower Temple was finally extinguished under the water spells they cast.

The mist was thick, and nothing remained but a pile of charred red walls.

Out of caution, those two Core Formation Stage cultivators scanned the surroundings once again to ensure no one was around, then decided to head down the mountain.

Seeing the two leaving, Cen Yueyue was just about to emerge from the woods, but the young man grabbed her again.

"You... You’re addicted to taking advantage of me, aren’t you?"

Her face flushed slightly, gritting her teeth. She had never been touched by a man other than her family members in her life, yet this boy took advantage of her twice!

However, she did not struggle; seeing Jiang Feng’s serious expression again, she suddenly understood something and patiently waited in place.

Another quarter of an hour passed, and those two Core Formation cultivators unexpectedly leapt up from below the cliff, standing on flying swords, as if they were hunting in a corner.

"Are they really gone?"

"They should be. I just looked at the scene and the differences in their cultivation didn’t seem too great, and the fight lasted for a while. That person is not as formidable as we thought."

"Probably around mid-Core Formation Stage."

"Yeah, indeed, right after a big fight, even if he won, it wouldn’t be too comfortable, we two could probably take him down, otherwise this matter getting out... "

"Let’s leave it. They’ve gone, and besides, Shuangfeng City might not deliberately send someone, isn’t it mentioned that Lady Yu Ying got into some trouble with her cultivation recently?"

"Right, I heard she got into cultivation deviation and is currently in seclusion; she likely won’t have the time to care about it. Anyway, that person from the Southern Border is dead, so we can consider this case closed."

"Let’s go."

With their Longswords slung over their shoulders, the two proceeded straight down the mountain, marking the moment they truly left.

Cen Yueyue then tried to shake off Jiang Feng’s hand, a somewhat humorous act, as paradoxically the Core Formation Stage her was watching for cues from the Qi Refinement Realm youth, yet this time the young man didn’t continue to stop her.

Instead, he naturally let go, allowing her to climb to the highest point for a better view.

"Being so cautious and meticulous, tell me, what did you discover?"

Her delicate face showed a hint of tiredness.

Miss Cen was really not in a good mood today, not just because of today’s events had irreversibly shocked her worldview, but also because she was annoyed by her own performance.

Although there were many things she had not experienced, she could still catch bits and snippets from family elders’ conversations. As the saying goes, ’a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers,’ she was also confidently ready to venture into society.

But unexpectedly, she ran into a major trouble just after she ventured out for a few months.

To be honest, if it hadn’t been for Jiang Feng fanning the flames today, she probably would have chosen to retreat from the scene first; after all, she lacked the courage to confront those blocking Hou Zhongxiao.

She panicked when faced with such adversity.

Jiang Feng also climbed to the highest point and looked towards the distance; those two were in Sword Flight, disappearing from sight within a few minutes, then he spoke.

"Miss Cen, you..."

"Could you come up with a nicer title to call me?"

No way around it; some dream of being called ’Miss’ but don’t have the fate, and some get upset when people call her ’Miss.’

The dry has dried up, the wet has drowned.

"Miss Cen?"

"Can’t you just call me by my name?"

"..."

Well, that’s how a little princess is.

However, Jiang Feng didn’t linger on this point; he only looked towards the distant remains of Red Flower Temple, where just a few hours ago it was bustling with hundreds of people worshiping Hou Zhongxiao like a deity.

But now, there was no sign of life, only the charred red walls and completely unrecognizable corpses remained.

"I’ll just say it. What do you think they came here for?"

"Huh?"

She tilted her head; wasn’t that obvious?

"They obviously came to kill Hou Zhongxiao, the traitor. With so many murders coming to light, and with Xu Huoyao only about two hundred li away from the State City, they must have sensed something was amiss and came to take down the traitor."
