Chapter 51: Lin Feng's Character Collapses, Losing Protagonist Status

Since everything had already been lost.

Since there was no way to salvage anything back.

Then let them all just perish!

[Ding! You have successfully caused the protagonist Lin Feng to embrace the dark side, his character collapsing and his Heavenly Fate Value reduced to 0!]

[Ding! Lin Feng's Heavenly Fate Value has been downgraded to Fate Value, relinquishing his protagonist status!]

[Ding! Lin Feng can now be killed!]

[Ding! You have gained 3500 points of Villain Value!]

System prompts echoed in Jiang Chen's mind, filling his heart with elation.

However.

On the surface, he needed to maintain an appearance of sorrow and disappointment.

Simultaneously.

Ning Xian and Qiu Liaoxi gazed at Lin Feng in disbelief.

The master and disciple knew they had misjudged Lin Feng, but they never anticipated he would become so malevolent!

At the same time.

"He's gone mad!"

"This guy is insane!"

"That's right, he talks about reaching the Inquiring Journey realm and even surpassing it?! The strongest on the Mysterious Truth Continent is only at the Heavenly Origin realm. Lin Feng is just delusional!"

"This Lin Feng has not only lost his mind but also revealed his true nature. He even berated his own master, which is utterly disrespectful!"

"Such a person must be ostracized by everyone!"

"..."

Outbursts of indignation erupted from the crowd!

Some were genuinely outraged, while others aimed to ingratiate themselves with the Jiang and Zhou Clans.

Regardless,

The jeers and taunts had entirely drowned out Lin Feng's voice.

"What a load of nonsense!"

"How dare you criticize me! You can all go to hell!"

Lin Feng was seething with anger, his eyes filled with murderous intent, as an overwhelming aura erupted from his body.

"What?!"

"This power... Half-step Mysterious Platform realm!?"

"Lin Feng seemed like an ordinary cultivator; how could he unleash such a formidable aura?"

"Quick, fall back! We can't witness this level of battle up close!"

"..."

A large crowd of onlookers were stunned and fearful, retreating in all directions.

"Half-step Mysterious Platform realm!"

"I didn't expect to have underestimated you!"

A glimmer of shock flickered in Zhou Ruiyu's eyes before he coldly stated, "However, the half-step Mysterious Platform realm is still leagues away from the true Mysterious Platform realm. You are destined to perish today!"

"Surrender now!"

Jiang Xingtai's expression darkened, and he gripped a Top-grade long sword of Spiritual Awakening rank in his hand.

"End your own life, and I shall leave your corpse whole!"

Jiang Chen's voice was frosty, akin to a frigid gust sweeping through.

"Foolish!"

Lin Feng sneered, a crazed glint in his eyes, as a crimson flame suddenly erupted from his body!

"What!"

Having previously battled Lin Feng, Jiang Xingtai was the first to notice something amiss with Lin Feng's flame!

This flame is far more potent than before! It has actually ascended to the Mysterious Platform level!

Zhou Ruiyu was equally taken aback!

Evidently, Lin Feng was merely at the Soul Refining realm earlier; how could he suddenly unleash an attack with the Mysterious Platform-level flames?

This simply defied all logic!

Only Jiang Chen was aware that Lin Feng had once been the protagonist, the prior protagonist.

Though he had lost his protagonist status, the power within his body remained intact.

"Don't worry!"

Qiu Liaoxi clasped Ning Xian's hand, "You have to trust Jiang Chen."

Meanwhile,

Lin Feng dashed wildly, almost transforming into a blazing dragon!

"Halt right there! You scum!"

Zhou Ruiyu pursued him furiously from behind!

The two of them, one leading and the other trailing, rapidly soared out of the city.

After five or six breaths,

Jiang Chen and Jiang Xingtai's silhouettes materialized outside the city.

"Uncle, you continue chasing him!"

"I'll alter my course and attempt to see if we can encircle and eliminate him!"

Jiang Chen turned to Jiang Xingtai and spoke, the previous frailty on his face having long since vanished.

"Okay!"

"Be careful!"

Jiang Xingtai nodded solemnly.

'Lin Feng, are you headed to that place?'

Deep in thought, Jiang Chen shifted his feet slightly and instantly altered his course.

His destination was the forested area where Lin Feng had previously concealed himself!

Initially,

He had deployed two subordinates armed with Aura Finder Smoke to track Lin Feng's movements.

Subsequently,

They feigned hunting and herb-gathering activities while vigilantly monitoring Lin Feng's whereabouts.

By utilizing the location identified by the Aura Finder Smoke, the direction of Zhou Yihe's demise, and the area where Lin Feng had remained hidden for an extended period,

As well as the time Lin Feng took to traverse from his hiding spot to Zhou Yihe's death site, Lin Feng's speed during his journey, and the distance between the location pinpointed by the Aura Finder Smoke and the place where Zhou Yihe met his end,

And following a few straightforward calculations,

The approximate location of Lin Feng's hideout at that time could be deduced!

At that time, all the storage artifacts belonging to Zhou Yihe and the others had been confiscated.

However, nothing was discovered on Lin Feng's person.

No traces of the medicinal scent that Zhou Yihe and his companions carried could be detected from Lin Feng's mouth and nose.

Thus,

Jiang Chen inferred that Lin Feng had likely concealed those storage artifacts near his hiding spot.

Naturally,

It was also plausible that they had been discarded somewhere en route.

Over the past few days,

Jiang Chen had organized several search parties to locate them, but they remained elusive.

Today,

Lin Feng had activated the 'SEED mode'; he must have been consuming something!

Lin Feng's unique ability enabled him to grow stronger by ingesting spiritual plants, so he might have returned to retrieve them to sustain his consumption and potentially turn the tide.

As for why Lin Feng didn't steal spiritual plants in the city?

The reason was that he lost his protagonist status and, without his former good fortune, he left the city without encountering a single medicine shop.

Even if he had come across a medicine shop, it would have made no difference.

Ever since the trade fair, the Jiang Clan had bought up anything that could benefit Lin Feng on a daily basis.

At this moment,

Jiang Chen was betting that Lin Feng would seek out those hidden spoils!

Even if his gamble proved incorrect, it wouldn't matter.

Having lost his protagonist status, Lin Feng was now just an insignificant ant, and there would be plenty of opportunities to toy with him until his demise.

It was also at the time when Jiang Chen changed direction.

"No way!"

"If this continues, the Burning World Red Lotus won't last much longer!"

"We have to go around and search for that storage ring concealed in the river!"

Lin Feng's face contorted with worry. "Once I obtain those spiritual plants, I will be able to survive this calamity!"
