181: Chu Feng's ambition

"Xuan Wei?"

"Is she even worthy of being a Great World-level villain?"

Chu Feng looked at Su Ji with a smile.

He roughly understood the situation now.

As early as when Hong defined a Great World-level villain, Chu Feng had already made his judgment.

Among the people he had killed recently, only Xuan Wei, the Heavenly Mandate Protagonist, met some of the conditions.

Moreover, when Xuan Wei died, he also perceived some strange things happening.

He hadn't expected that Xuan Wei, a Heavenly Mandate Protagonist, would be considered a Great World-level villain?

Is the Hongmeng Divine Alliance blind?

Obviously not, there must be other reasons.

He just pondered for a moment and roughly understood the source.

The cause of such a major misunderstanding could only be the new Divine-Grade identity—Nine Serenity Sword Demon.

What was special about this identity?

Chu Feng's heart was as clear as a mirror.

The Limitless Devil Heart, the so-called 'reversing the cosmos' and 'overturning the celestial order,' had its use here.

I, this villain, have actually become a righteous Heavenly Mandate Protagonist in the eyes of others.

The world is truly wonderful.

Chu Feng sighed with emotion.

The source of the Demonic Heart was a mutated identity.

After mutating for so long, it was only at the Quasi Immortal Emperor Realm; he had felt a bit disappointed at the time.

He hadn't expected the highlight to be the Demonic Heart.

As Su Ji spoke, Hong exclaimed in surprise, "Xuan Wei?"

Su Ji nodded gently, "Xuan Wei's Luck is terrifying, and her ideology is very dangerous. I was her former teacher. Without my restraint, with Xuan Wei's extreme thoughts, she could indeed easily become the kind of person you described."

As she spoke, a rare hint of coldness appeared in her eyes.

When she was Xuan Wei's Elder, she hadn't noticed anything, but now looking back, she found Xuan Wei to be extremely Heaven-Defying.

She perfectly matched the Scarlet-Clad Girl's description.

Hong said without hesitation, "Then it must be her."

Floating Slaughter Sword Master, who was standing by, had a gloomy expression and was filled with regret.

Xuan Wei?

He hadn't heard that name before.

Nor had any of his seeds reported it to him.

There was a Great World-level villain in the Immortal Realm, yet he had been searching outside.

For such an important matter, I, with my boundless Luck, was actually beaten to the punch.

little gourd, am I truly not the Heavenly Mandate Protagonist?

Floating Slaughter Sword Master doubted his life and subconsciously asked the little gourd.

The little gourd didn't respond. He frowned slightly, feeling that something was amiss.

"Now, you should understand, right? A Great World-level villain is not someone anyone can kill. You are the Heavenly Mandate Protagonist."

As Hong said this, she gazed at Chu Feng and earnestly invited him, "The original intention of our Hongmeng Divine Alliance was to eliminate all villains and maintain peace across all worlds."

"It is precisely because of this philosophy that Heavenly Mandate Protagonists gather together, allowing the Hongmeng Divine Alliance to grow infinitely."

"Our Hongmeng Divine Alliance's membership slots are very precious, Fellow Daoist Chu, please join. I have high hopes for you."

She extended the invitation again.

Her fiery red glazed eyes shimmered with anticipation.

In her eyes, being able to join the Hongmeng Divine Alliance was an unparalleled honor.

She had a very good impression of Chu Feng, believing he would surely shine within the Hongmeng Divine Alliance in the future.

Chu Feng looked at her with a faint smile, not agreeing, "How many Heavenly Mandate Protagonists does the Hongmeng Divine Alliance have?"

Hong was stunned for a moment. She hesitated and said, "That cannot be revealed."

"Only when you join the Hongmeng Divine Alliance will you know."

Chu Feng nodded, then changed the subject and asked again, "Then, what benefits do I get from joining the Hongmeng Divine Alliance?"

Benefits?

Hong was taken aback again and immediately said, "There are too many benefits."

"Our Hongmeng Divine Alliance possesses infinite treasures and countless Legacies."

"In a Great World like the Immortal Realm, an Immortal Emperor is already at the pinnacle, but the Hongmeng Divine Alliance has long since transcended the Immortal Emperor Realm. Beyond the Immortal Emperor Realm lies a completely new world."

"If you wish to go further, joining the Hongmeng Divine Alliance can save you many detours."

Chu Feng shook his head and said, "Don't draw me a pie. I want tangible benefits."

"If the Xuan Wei you mentioned is a Great World-level villain, then I can confirm they are very powerful. Xuan Wei and I fought many times, hovering between life and death, extremely dangerous. Several times, I was almost counter-killed by her."

Hong: ???

You didn't seem to say that just now!

Su Ji: ???

Husband, do you want to hear what you're saying?

Her eyes flickered, but she did not speak.

She didn't know why, but she felt her husband had dug a huge pit, waiting for this Miss Hong to jump in.

Chu Feng continued to analyze calmly and unhurriedly, "You don't even need to think to know that after entering the Hongmeng Divine Alliance, I will definitely have to fight those terrifying villains."

"If I'm not mistaken, these so-called villains should also have a powerful organization, right?"

Hong was startled by his words and blurted out, "You mean the Villain Alliance?"

Chu Feng smiled, "So there really is one."

Hong's smile froze.

Chu Feng continued, "This so-called Villain Alliance, its power shouldn't be much weaker than the Hongmeng Divine Alliance, right?"

"Even if, as you say, I am just an ordinary Heavenly Mandate Protagonist with no grand ambitions, only wishing to find a hundred million Dao Companions, build a grand harem, and live a leisurely life, I do not wish to die at the hands of these terrifying villains."

"Therefore, I'm sorry, I refuse."

Hong: "…"

A hundred million Dao Companions??

She was a bit dazed and murmured, "This, this, you really like to joke."

Floating Slaughter Sword Master: "…"

He was also stunned.

Looking at the calm Chu Feng, the other party seemed genuinely unconcerned, his eyes showing surprise.

When he faced the Hongmeng Divine Alliance, he always begged to join them, eager to complete the trials, and had worked for it for over a hundred thousand years.

Yet this Chu Feng actually didn't want to join??

Didn't he want to join the Hongmeng Divine Alliance, become an Immortal Emperor, and ascend to a higher Dao?

Even more outrageous, what was this Villain Alliance?

Why didn't I and the little gourd think of this?

It no longer mattered.

The surprise in Floating Slaughter Sword Master's eyes gradually receded, replaced by killing intent.

If this woman hadn't interrupted, he would have already made his move.

Now he knew many things he wanted to know.

Chu Feng, this so-called Heavenly Emperor, the little gourd had just checked his background. A Quasi Immortal Emperor, being able to reach this stage in the Immortal Realm, he indeed had some foundation.

But he was also a Quasi Immortal Emperor, and a Sword Master, furthermore aided by the miraculous Innate Dao Artifact, the little gourd.

In front of him, it was nothing.

He had no interest in watching an enemy show off in front of him.

Kill him.

Replace him.

Let this woman know who the true Heavenly Mandate Protagonist is.

He silently reached for his waist, sending a thought to it: "little gourd, are you ready? Use your ultimate form and strike him down directly."

Floating Slaughter Sword Master's eyes suddenly went blank, his hands touching his waist, which was also empty.

He fumbled around, the emptiness in his eyes turning into confusion and astonishment.

Not far from him.

Chu Feng held the little gourd and said calmly, "I'm not joking. There's not a single truth in your words. The Villain Alliance sounds very terrifying."

"Still the same thing, I've accepted the item, keep your sincerity. Please leave."

Hong was speechless. She hadn't expected anyone to be uninterested in the Hongmeng Divine Alliance, so she had no choice but to be frank and transmit her voice to him: "This... the Villain Alliance is just a verbal name. They are called Nine Serenity."

"Theoretically speaking, there is indeed a certain risk."

"However, when Nine Serenity sees our Grandmist, they are like mice seeing a cat, only daring to hide in dark corners. The risk is actually not high."

"But since you asked, can you be a bit more patient? I'll contact the Alliance to see if we can give you better treatment."

After speaking, her hand flashed, and a hongmeng book appeared, through which she sent a message into the Void Realm.

Chu Feng remained silent upon hearing this, playing with the little gourd, his eyes flickering.

Nine Serenity.

This name is interesting.

Is it related to my current identity?

He pondered in his heart.

He knew very well that he was recognized as a Heavenly Mandate Protagonist because of the Limitless Devil Heart.

In truth, he should have been invited by the people of Nine Serenity.

He hadn't expected that the people of Nine Serenity wouldn't come, and the Hongmeng Divine Alliance would coincidentally invite him to join their Alliance.

Isn't this like a wolf entering a flock of sheep?

Chu Feng's first reaction was, 'Is there such a good thing?'

As soon as he thought of the vast number of 'leeks' spontaneously gathering in the Alliance, Chu Feng felt a bit impatient.

Anticipation aside, the wool that needed to be plucked, still had to be plucked.

Didn't this woman say that as a villain, besides being lustful, one should also be greedy, right?

The Hongmeng Divine Alliance was clearly eager for him, this villain, so he naturally couldn't disappoint them.

Soon, Hong put away the hongmeng book in her hand and whispered to Chu Feng, "I've made contact."

"The Alliance has promised to upgrade your treatment by one sequence."

"Oh, a sequence is the Rank within the Alliance, just like the Elder positions in some Sects."

"The Alliance sequences are divided into nine Ranks, one being the beginning, and nine being the extreme."

"The treatment for each sequence is vastly different."

"Additionally, there's a special treatment."

"If you can kill another Great World-level villain within a hundred thousand years, you can directly be promoted to Sequence Six."

"A hundred thousand years, and kill another Great World-level villain?"

Chu Feng narrowed his eyes, holding the gourd, and glanced at Floating Slaughter Sword Master.

He wanted to test the effect of the Limitless Devil Heart again.

A hundred thousand years...

Too long, he only seized the day.

Hong thought he was in a difficult position and comforted him, "A hundred thousand years is a bit short. After all, Great World Heavenly Mandate villains are all extremely wicked and terrifying individuals. It's very difficult to kill one within a hundred thousand years."

"But it's an additional benefit, just do your best."

Chu Feng suddenly asked, "What is 'falling into demonhood'?"

"Falling into demonhood?"

"You and this 'birth' above talked about it earlier."

Chu Feng said faintly.

Birth?

It took Hong a while to react: "Oh, you mean Floating Slaughter Sword Master. Falling into demonhood means the Dao Heart degenerates. Seeds like him, with the characteristics of a Heavenly Mandate Protagonist, are very prone to degeneration. Once they fall into demonhood, they are very likely to be found by those guys from Nine Serenity and become new villains."

"Although Floating Slaughter Sword Master's personality is a bit cold, his true nature isn't bad."

"Given time, he has a chance to become a Heavenly Mandate Protagonist."

Upon hearing this, Chu Feng suddenly smiled amiably and said, "So that's how it is. You, you're really naive."

Naive?

As his words fell, Hong blinked her eyes in confusion.

Then she saw a small golden gourd suddenly appear in Chu Feng's hand.

Huh, isn't this... Floating Slaughter Sword Master's Innate Dao Artifact?

[You have successfully refined the primordial luck gourd, the important Golden Finger Innate Dao Artifact of the Heavenly Mandate Protagonist Floating Slaughter Sword Master. Under the blessing of fate, his Destiny Value has decreased by three million points. You used a Destiny Critical Strike Talisman, and this time, the Destiny Value decreased by an additional two and a half million points due to the critical strike. You have obtained 10 upper-grade heavenly mandate treasure chests.]
