Villain: Manipulating the Heroines into hating the Protagonist

Chapter 147 Ye Chen's Team's New Objective

?

The news of Wang Jian's successful healing of Xie Hui spread like wildfire, eliciting various reactions from the people.

The Poison King and his followers were taken aback to learn that their potent poison had been resolved by Wang Jian.

But they were not the only ones; members of the Dao of Alchemy Society were equally stunned.

The Dao of Alchemy Society's members had never imagined that Xie Hui would recover from the deadly poison that had been administered to him.

When he was on his deathbed, each member had humiliated the Xie family, believing that they would soon be free of their influence.

However, with Xie Hui's impending return to the society, they knew they had made a grave mistake.

Xie Hui, although a King Realm alchemist, was the only one capable of creating incomplete Emperor Rank pellets.

The members of the society knew that they would be in trouble when he returned, and they were anxious about how he would react to their behavior towards his family.

They knew that Xie Hui was a well-respected and influential figure, and that he had significant sway over many powerful individuals in various factions.

In light of this, they decided to take preemptive measures to assuage any potential anger or resentment from Xie Hui.

One of the steps they took was to restore all the power and privileges that the Xie Family had previously held, including access to rare pellets and the royalties associated with them.

In fact, the society went even further this time, granting the Xie Family even more privileges and rights than they had before.

However, these two groups were not the only ones affected by this incident. The factions belonging to each of the members of the Royal Family fighting for the throne were the ones most impacted.

While the Crown Prince was still involved in his battle against the demons and had yet to return, his subservient groups were shocked to learn of Xie Hui's miraculous recovery.

The Second Princess and Third Prince's factions were the ones affected the most. Each one had planned to slowly target the Xie Family to ensure their collaboration with Wang Jian resulted in a great loss.

However, someone else had acted before they could even begin their plans, and the Xie Family had fallen directly into Wang Jian's lap.

With the Xie Family now firmly aligned with Wang Jian's faction, the balance of power in the kingdom was shifting, and those vying for the throne were forced to reevaluate their strategies.

It didn't take long before the conditions of Wang Jian's partnership with the Xie Family were leaked, a move that was deliberately orchestrated by Wang Jian himself. He had informed the Xie Family beforehand of his intentions.

The reason behind this move was simple: to broadcast to the entire empire that he had gained access to vast quantities of rare pellets through the Xie Family's affiliation.

This announcement rendered him a prime target for factions seeking pellets, but it also held an allure for organizations that required these precious substances but couldn't purchase them in the open market.

Such organizations included those that had been outlawed by the Empire, such as the Crimson Cult, the Phantom Brotherhood, the Black Hand, the Shadow Warriors, and the demons.

It was only known to a select few individuals in the upper echelon that there were demons with extremely rare bloodlines that possessed a human-like form scattered across the empire.

These demons were strategically located in various parts of the Empire to secure resources for their kind.

After a few days, Xie Hui had made a full recovery and was able to return to the Dao of Alchemy Society. To the surprise of many, he did not seek revenge on those who had caused trouble for his family during his absence.

Instead, he opted to give them a mild punishment, such as a compensation in the form of rare alchemy resources or wealth.

This decision was unexpected but was seen as a display of Xie Hui's magnanimous character, as he chose not to hold grudges and instead turned the situation into an opportunity for reconciliation.

Naturally, this was occurring all under Wang Jian's instructions.

Xie Hui actually wanted to slaughter these bunch of scamps for harming his family. However, Wang Jian had instructed him to act magnanimously.

He wanted the Xie Family to boost their fame.

Wang Jian requested a detailed list of all the individuals who had caused trouble for the Xie Family, including the benefits they received from Xie Hui's condition.

He was taken aback when he saw the name of Xu Mo on the list provided by the Xie Family.

Xu Mo was actually Xu Yuting's grandfather and was in line to become the next Grand Elder of the Dao of Alchemy Society due to his extensive experience and exceptional skills.

In fact, he was even faster at concocting pellets than Xie Hui, which was quite impressive considering Xie Hui's talent and reputation.

However, it was a pity that Xu Mo fell slightly short in terms of the quality of pellets compared to Xie Hui.

It was known to the public that Xu Mo was affiliated with the Second Princess, Wang Ying's faction.

Meanwhile, Xu Yuting, Xu Mo's granddaughter, was currently in the Everlasting Mystic Empire, gaining valuable experience in pellet concoction by creating various types of pellets for Wang Ying's faction.

Wang Jian couldn't help but wonder, 'Has she regained her Heroine status?'

He felt it was unlikely as Xu Yuting couldn't have met up with Ye Chen yet.

"System, set up an alert for when Xu Yuting regains her Heroine status."

[Alright, host.]

…

Ye Chen had been diligently carrying out his mission as a member of the second princess's faction.

He had been stationed in the vicinity of the Jade Serpent Sect and the Celestial Dragon Sect for some time, acquainting himself with the area and scouting potential escape routes.

He had also been busy preparing secret hideouts, such as a secluded cave or secret shacks, in case of emergencies.

During this time, the Tung Clan, which was one of the many clans working under the second princess, had arrived to assist him.

Their arrival had greatly eased Ye Chen's burden, allowing him to focus more on his task without having to worry about logistics or support.

Accompanying the Tung Clan's experts, Ye Chen's friend from the Mystic Creature Handlers Union, Liao Boqin, arrived at the area near the Jade Serpent Sect and the Celestial Dragon Sect.

Liao Boqin was the youngest son of the leader in the Mystic Creature Handlers Union and had a low status.

However, he had the good fortune of meeting Ye Chen during an expedition to the Celestial Sage's Temple, where he was saved by him.

During this journey, Liao Boqin also discovered a powerful and rare beast known as the Golden-Maned Thunder Lion.

This unique and rare beast was known for its shimmering, golden mane, and lightning-fast reflexes.

It was said to possess unparalleled speed, agility, and strength, making it one of the most formidable creatures in the entire empire.

As a Mystic Creature Handler, Liao Boqin had formed a close bond with the Golden-Maned Thunder Lion and trained it to follow his commands.

Together, they had become a formidable duo, feared by all who crossed their path.

Liao Boqin had always been thankful to Ye Chen for saving his life, so when he heard about Ye Chen's mission, he quickly volunteered to help.

He brought with him thirty griffins, each one at the peak of the Lord Realm, which was considered the cream of the crop in the Mystic Creature Handlers Union.

These griffins were no ordinary beasts; their speed and agility were unparalleled, making them ideal for reconnaissance and swift strikes.

Even a seasoned warrior at the peak of the King Realm would have a tough time keeping up with them.

Each member of the Tung Clan began rigorous training, alongside Ye Chen, to gain proficiency in riding the beasts.

After a week of training, Ye Chen and his team were finally prepared to attack a branch of the Dao of Alchemy Society.

However, fate had other plans for them. News had spread like wildfire that Xie Hui, who had been the target of their attack, had made a miraculous recovery.

Upon hearing of this news, Wang Ying, the second princess and the leader of their faction, quickly sent a message on her fastest messenger to call off the attack on the branch of the Dao of Alchemy Society.

The message left Ye Chen fuming with rage. He couldn't comprehend why Wang Ying would forbid him from attacking the branch at the last possible second.

After all, they had spent a considerable amount of time and effort planning for it. Despite his frustration, Ye Chen had no choice but to comply with Wang Ying's orders.

Thus, Ye Chen and his team switched their targets, and their new objective was the Celestial Talisman's Guild.

Each member of the team took the necessary precautions and made sure to cover their faces before striking their new target.

The Celestial Talisman's Guild was known to be a powerful organization that dealt in talismans, that was sure to attract the attention of other sects and clans.

However, Ye Chen and his team were confident in their abilities and their plan.
