After Defying the Villain’s Fate for Nine Lifetimes, the Heroines Turn Mad!

Chapter 24

After Jiang Chen was expelled from the sect, the disciples of the Ninth Peak cheered.

Xiao Hongyi had completely lost hope in Jiang Chen, and anyone who mentioned his name would instantly enrage her.

Lin Mubai in the void watched all this with cold eyes.

Given the choice, he was more concerned about Jiang Chen’s situation after leaving the sect, but the image remained fixed on the Jiuyan Sect’s Ninth Peak.

One day, Lin Mubai in the void learned of the destruction of the Jiang Family from Lin Feng’s mouth.

He couldn’t imagine the despair in Jiang Chen’s heart after losing his footing once again.

Lin Mubai thought that Jiang Chen would never appear again. But fate, it seemed, was not willing to let his Eldest Senior Brother go.

More than a decade later, news of Jiang Chen reached the Ninth Peak.

Though his cultivation was ruined, perhaps due to some fortuitous encounter, he had become an upper four realms cultivator again, and alone he fought against five Way of the Sword Grandmasters from the Seven Luminaries Sword Pavilion, ultimately slaying several of them!

Then the displeased Lin Feng took a group of Junior Brothers and Sisters to trouble Jiang Chen.

In the end, Jiang Chen self-destructed his life-bound spirit sword and fled for tens of thousands of li.

It was another decade later when he appeared again, and he actively sought out Lin Feng for a duel to the death.

The outcome was a tragic death!

Lin Mubai in the void didn’t understand.

Why doesn’t he just leave?

Why did his Eldest Senior Brother insist on preventing his Junior Brothers and Sisters from getting too close to Lin Feng?

And why, despite being subjected to cold treatment and misunderstandings, did he still insist on opposing this Son of Destiny?

This question was not answered until a hundred years later.

Only when he personally witnessed Lin Feng killing a righteous woman and saw himself dying under Lin Feng’s blade in his quest for revenge did Lin Mubai understand…

His Eldest Senior Brother wanted to save everyone.

The first life came to an abrupt end.

Then the second life emerged.

At this time, Lin Mubai had lost the elegance of a scholar and had become mad, often loudly questioning the heavens.

His emotions fluctuated wildly, one second indifferent, the next filled with murderous intent.

Especially when he realized that all this was not just a dream but the reality that Jiang Chen had experienced.

He collapsed. Life after life, although the plot changed slightly, he still destroyed the Jade Spirit Grass, causing Junior Sister Qingning and Jiang Chen to completely sever ties.

Life after life, under various ‘coincidences’ and ‘misunderstandings’, and with the influence of numerous Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters, Jiang Chen also gradually walked towards the abyss, ultimately dying at the hands of Lin Feng.

Until the end of Jiang Chen ninth life.

“Go to hell, you damn heavens, f*ck your Son of Destiny! I, Lin Mubai, am going to defy fate!!”

Lin Mubai laughed loudly, his speech devoid of any scholarly grace.

Clearly, he had also gone mad.

【Tenth life】

“Since Heaven wants me to be the villain, why should I defy it?”

This remark from Jiang Chen made Lin Mubai’s eyes light up.

Nodding continuously, Lin Mubai muttered to himself:

“Eldest Senior Brother, you know…”

“The two of us, with your one in ten thousand talent and my Innate Dao Bone, we should be able to kill that Lin Feng if we work together.”

“No, no. Killing him isn’t satisfying enough. We need to be more ruthless…”

“Kill his whole family? Oh, it seems he’s an orphan.”

“Destroy his cultivation, annihilate his body, and seal his soul in a latrine for a thousand years?”

“That won’t do either. That bastard is the Son of Destiny, he might escape and leaving trouble behind!”

“Let me think… How about, while Lin Feng has not yet joined a sect, we play a trick on him? Doesn’t Lin Feng have some close ties in the lower domain? I’ll go and kidnap them all, and hand them over to you, Senior Brother, for ‘training’!”

…….

One second, Lin Mubai was contemplating how to be a villain alongside Jiang Chen and kill Lin Feng.

The next second, he was back to reality.

With a vacant gaze, he was stunned for a long time.

It wasn’t until an hour later that he slowly turned his head to look out the window.

The night outside the window was still the same, but he was no longer his former self.

The guilt and self-reproach suppressed for a thousand years nine cycles of reincarnation made him want to rush to Jiang Chen and apologize, even if it meant getting beaten to death.

But this thought was fleeting.

Like Jiang Lianyue, Lin Mubai also believed that, at least in this life, Jiang Chen should be allowed to live freely.

No one and nothing should affect him.

Looking around, his eyes fell on the thousands of books.

Once as precious to him as life itself, now these books seemed extremely glaring to the eye.

“Bang—”

He pushed over the bookshelf and knocked over the spirit candle.

Lin Mubai walked slowly outside the Book Pavilion, watching the flames engulf the books and then light up the sky.

“Haha! Good!”

Lin Mubai laughed wildly.

“Mubai! Have you gone mad?!”

An anxious voice sounded.

A flash of red appeared as soon as the voice reached his ears, and Xiao Hongyi stood before him with her expression one of disbelief!

“Master, It’s not me who’s mad. It’s you who’s mad, it’s all the Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters who’s mad, it’s this world!”

Lin Mubai continued to laugh.

Xiao Hongyi was stunned.

She felt she had heard this sentence somewhere before…

After thinking hard, she felt as if struck by lightning.

This was exactly the same as what Jiang Lianyue said not long ago when she intended to detonate her imperial essence!

“Mubai, calm down.”

After taking a deep breath, Xiao Hongyi soothed.

“Don’t let a moment of impulsiveness lead to irreversible actions. How can you burn all these books if you plan to attain the imperial throne through the literary path? Take a good look, these are all the works of sages!”

“Sages’ works? May I ask Master, who wrote these works of sages? And where are these people now?” Lin Mubai questioned.

“Of course, they were written by the great sages and scholars before they ascended to become emperors. Such powerful beings stand shoulder to shoulder with the heavenly dao and naturally reside above the nine heavens.” Xiao Hongyi replied instantly.

This answer did not surprise Lin Mubai.

He grinned, his eyes narrowing into slits with amusement, and added, “If that’s the case, then I haven’t burned the wrong thing. Not only that, but I also want to say… to hell with the sages! To hell with the sages’ books!!”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Hongyi covered her mouth with both hands, almost screaming in shock.

At the same time, there was a ‘boom’ sound as thunder suddenly roared in the sky.

As the thunder faded, a mysterious and dazzling white stream of qi burst forth from Lin Mubai’s body and then disappeared into the heavens and earth.

This was the noble Righteous Qi!

Lin Mubai’s words had clearly angered the ancient sages, and they had severed his chance of ‘attaining the imperial throne through the literary path’ in their fury.

“Haha, get lost! What rubbish Righteous Qi, keep it to yourselves! I don’t give a damn!”

Lin Mubai continued to laugh heartily, his laughter even more carefree.

Mad, he had really gone mad…

Xiao Hongyi was dumbfounded.

She had always been confident about Lin Mubai, her second disciple.

Although he was a bookworm with not much to say about his drinking habits, after more than ten years of diligent study, Lin Mubai’s character was resilient, he despised evil, and his morals were certainly excellent.

But now, the universally acknowledged gentleman of the Ninth Peak, even of the Jiuyan Sect, was spouting foul language?

He was not only burning thousands of books but also cursing the celestial sages in the nine heavens!

As Xiao Hongyi came back to her senses and was about to scold him, she saw Lin Mubai suddenly staring blankly at the sky, his gaze unfocused, with spiritual energy converging around him, immersing him in an indescribable and mysterious state!

Could this be… an epiphany?!

Xiao Hongyi’s beautiful eyes widened in disbelief.

She knew Lin Mubai had an Innate Dao Bone and that he would fall into an epiphany if he had a realization.

But the problem was! She had never heard of anyone having an epiphany by insulting the sages!

And what could possibly be realized in such a situation?

Without time to ponder, Xiao Hongyi personally protected Lin Mubai, strictly forbidding anyone from disturbing him.

Time passed, and Lin Mubai’s epiphany lasted for several hours until the first light of dawn and the sky began to brighten.

Then…

A vast spiritual energy formed a vortex around Lin Mubai.

The vast spiritual energy entered through the pores of his body and eventually converged in his Purple Mansion, where it was absorbed by the Core Formation floating within.

“Boom—”

“Boom—”

The sounds of breakthroughs followed one after another.

Xiao Hongyi watched, her eyes wide open, as Lin Mubai’s aura continued to climb.

Initial Formation Middle stage.

Initial Formation Late stage.

Human Origin Early stage.

Human Origin Middle stage.

Human Origin Late stage.

Until Earthly Origin Early Stage!

Xiao Hongyi was dumbfounded!

Noticing someone breaking through six minor realms and two major realms, leaping from Initial Formation to Earthly Origin in one go, a cyan streak of light shot out from the main peak of Jiuyan Sect and arrived in front of Xiao Hongyi in an instant.

“Junior Sister, what’s going on? Is this an epiphany of the Innate Dao Bone?”

“Replying to Sect Master Senior Brother, it seems to be the case.”

“Has Lin Mubai abandoned the literary path for martial arts?”

“I don’t know.”

“Was he stimulated by something?”

“I don’t know.”

“Then what do you know?”

“I only know that it seems another disciple has gone mad…”

“???”
