Could it be that I am the cruel villain?

Swish!

The body swiftly swept through the air.

The speed was pushed to the limit, and the seemingly delicate body forcibly left trails of afterimages in the air. At this moment, nearby disciples and other protectors also discovered the abnormality and rushed towards the peak shrouded in Blood Mist.

The bell rang, a signal of high alert in the sect, all disciples engaged in combat immediately stopped and first sent those with lower realms and the secular people who were invited to watch the martial arts to a safe place.

"Faster, faster..."

Her heart was full of anxiety, she had never felt so nervous, and had never thought that one day she would find her speed too slow.

For ordinary people, thirty miles, even running in a straight line, would take about an hour, and that's if their physical fitness was good. For cultivators capable of Sword Flight, they could probably reach their destination in about two quarters of an hour at full speed.

For Liu Tangxi, this could be compressed into less than half a quarter of an hour.

Which is within ten minutes.

Indeed, it's not as fast as a plane, but it's already close to the speed of a car on a highway, and it's the kind of highway where you can speed due to good road conditions.

"Why did that sword strike fail to kill the beast? The angle and power should have been perfect. Moreover, Ao Qing was there too, how could one slip through a Nascent Soul peak remnant of the Xuanyin Sect?"

"That Magic Treasure's aura felt familiar, damn it, I was too careless, I should have anticipated that the Xuanyin Sect would seize the opportunity for revenge!"

This was the first time Liu Tangxi's expression showed an emotion called "panic".

Her demeanor was a bit frustrated, although Jiang Feng had endured many hardships before, experiencing life and death, those were all within her control range, like that rainy night of revenge, she witnessed the boy's transformation and growth.

Being hunted by Wu Mingsheng was also expected, at that time she had already left a part of her Divine Soul in Jiang Feng's Dantian, if even a genius girl like Cen Yueyue couldn't protect Jiang Feng, then in the end, she might have to clean up the mess herself.

When she went to the Golden Light Longevity Monastery, she also sensed it, things were somewhat beyond expectation, but ultimately within control, yet this time was different.

For the first time, her spiritual connection with Jiang Feng was completely severed, apart from sensing his rapid decline in life force and Divine Soul, she could perceive nothing else.

"The aura is becoming weaker, almost imperceptible."

"No, I won't make it, I still have half of my Divine Soul hidden within him, perhaps it can save his life, but using that Divine Soul now, he will inevitably face calamity again in the future."

"Do I really have to use it now..."

She was torn by an internal struggle.

She had actually anticipated the Xuanyin Sect's opportunity for revenge, what caught her off guard was the swiftness of their revenge, even willing to pay any price.

To be able to plant spies deep within the enemy, one can imagine the price they paid, using such individuals at will, and not just one, but two, all just to target Jiang Feng, demonstrates the Xuanyin Sect's grand scheme.

But it also shows the threat this pair of siblings posed to the Xuanyin Sect, let's put it this way.

The threat of one Liu Tangxi was comparable to an entire Purple Cloud Palace.

Gu Yuanshan would consider issues of the sect and influence, whether or not he could completely absorb it, and what price he would have to pay, only after weighing the pros and cons would he take action, but Liu Tangxi need not.

She literally would see your people, stab them to death, and walk away nonchalantly, no one could restrain her, not even her sect.

A few hundred years ago, one Liu Jian already stirred them into chaos, now one Liu Tangxi tormented them day and night, and now there's also Jiang Feng, wouldn't they be scared?

"Forget it, forget it."

"If there is no survival now, what future can there be."

Thinking of this, Liu Tangxi suddenly slowed down while flying in the air, landed on a mountaintop, looked into the distance, and just sighed.

"By channeling half of my Divine Soul, cultivation, Sword Intent, and lifespan, storing half within you for future opportunity, but as of now, it seems I must use it prematurely."

"Perhaps in the future I can re-apply the sealing, maybe I will fall, but at least you will have a century of peace."

"Originally, you were the one who brought me up the mountain, taught me cultivation, later, I shall return my life to you... hmm?"

Her eyes widened.

The last line was a bit startling because from Liu Xianzi's tone, she seemed fully prepared, willing to exchange her life in the future for Jiang Feng's century of tranquility, and she was muttering words like "brought me up the mountain" and "taught me cultivation".

If it were an ordinary person, they might actually think Liu Tangxi had gone mad, but she's not crazy.

She's serious.

Has no one ever wondered, why Jiang Feng? On what grounds? Why would Liu Tangxi take such a huge risk, bear all the pressure alone, even if it means sacrificing her lifespan, just to save an innocent boy.

She's not crazy, nor stupid, and definitely not a saint.

"Hahaha, you bitch, you will only die a miserable death like your beastly master!"

"Swordmaster Peak, Swordmaster Peak? Just a pawn, let me see how this bitch counters my move."

"Hehehehehe..."

A harsh, grating laugh echoed from within the Blood Mist.

The body slowly emerged from the Blood Mist, looked up, and Jiang Feng's handsome face immediately appeared.

The chains on his body disappeared, the palm print on his right shoulder had merged with his flesh, his expression was restrained, with a hint of confusion, appearing just as usual, as if puzzled by what was happening around him.
