Villain: Manipulating the Heroines into hating the Protagonist

Chapter 314  Wang Jian enters the Heavenly Lotus Sect's territory (All Woman Sect))

With the women of the Heavenly Lotus Sect safely gone, Wang Jian dissipated his Scorching Solar Incineration Domain.

The two captains of the devil clans approached and knelt before Wang Jian.

"You both played your parts excellently. I almost believed you intended to attack me," Wang Jian said, his smile reflecting his satisfaction.

"We apologize if we have caused any offense, Young Master," the captains of the two Devil Clans replied in unison.

"No need for apologies. Your performance was convincing. In fact, I'll personally recommend to the Patriarch that you be rewarded upon your return," Wang Jian assured them.

"Now, it's time to wrap things up and for all of you to depart. Be sure to leave behind shadow clones, each possessing at least 70% of your strength. Rest assured, you will receive proper compensation upon your return to the clan," Wang Jian added, his smile warm and reassuring.

"Thank you, Young Master," the devil clan experts expressed their gratitude, their faces reflecting their delight.

The situation in this part of the Devil Nest had been resolved.

Wang Jian was confident that the Heavenly Lotus Sect would soon gather their forces and launch a coordinated assault on this Devil Nest.

While it might be a fierce battle, the Heavenly Lotus Sect should have the upper hand now.

His attention now turned to the Spirit Affinity Sect's Devil Nest. Knowing that the Spirit Affinity Sect was aware of the presence of two of the four Great Devil Clans, they would undoubtedly prepare thoroughly before attacking.

It was even possible that the two factions within the Spirit Affinity Sect would join forces.

Wang Jian realized that the strategy he had employed with the Heavenly Lotus Sect's women would probably not be effective in this case.

After realizing that he couldn't manipulate the women of the Spirit Affinity Sect through despair like he did with the Heavenly Lotus Sect, Wang Jian devised a different plan – one that would exploit another common human weakness: greed.

With this new strategy in mind, Wang Jian left the Devil Nest and began to harm his own body, making it appear as though he had been seriously injured in a battle against the devils.

Covered in crimson blood and leaking from his wounds, he gave the impression of a valiant but wounded hero.

Outside the Devil Nest, Wang Jian eventually caught up with the group of women from the Heavenly Lotus Sect who had just escaped.

As they noticed his injured state, their relief at being safe was overshadowed by concern for him.

"We're finally safe," Wang Jian whispered with a weak smile before losing consciousness.

Immediately, the women rushed to his side, alarmed by his condition.

Some healers among them attempted to use their holy attribute water qi to heal him, but it became evident that the devil attribute had deeply penetrated Wang Jian's body, making it impossible for them to treat him effectively on the spot.

Fifth Elder Fairy Qian Shui took charge and decisively suggested, "We have to take him back to the sect. Only by submerging him in the Saint Lotus Pond can we save him and heal his injuries."

However, Third Elder Fairy Zhi Luan raised an objection, her brow furrowing in concern. "But he's a man, and our sect's rules forbid men from entering. This is one of an important rules of our sects."

Fairy Qian Shui, resolute and unwavering, defended her stance. "Third Elder Zhi, this man risked his life to save all of us. He did something even our own sect hesitated to do – he rescued us from those devils by coming alone. I believe he deserves to be an exception to our sect's rule. If our ancestors knew of his bravery, they would have allowed us to make this exception."

As the discussion unfolded, more and more women in the group voiced their agreement with the Fifth Elder's stance. With the overwhelming support from the majority, the Third Elder had little choice but to acquiesce to their decision.

As a result, Wang Jian made history by becoming the first man ever to step foot inside the Heavenly Lotus Sect and undergo the sacred waters of the Saint Lotus Pond.

This audacious move, however, ignited a fiery controversy within the sect.

The Sect Leader's faction, including the Sect Leader herself, was incensed upon learning that Wang Jian, a man, had been allowed into the Heavenly Lotus Sect.

Their fury was further fueled by the revelation that he had been submerged in the hallowed waters of Saint Lotus Pond.

The ensuing dispute escalated into a fierce argument, pitting the experts of the Third Elder's and Fifth Elder's factions against those of the Sect Leader's faction.

The tensions eventually reached a boiling point, leading to physical confrontations between the two factions.

Surprisingly, the combined might of the Third Elder's and Fifth Elder's factions proved to be just as formidable as that of the Sect Leader's, intensifying the clash within the sect.

Meanwhile, Wang Jian regained consciousness within the purifying embrace of the Saint Lotus Pond.

To his surprise, the pond had worked wonders in cleansing the Devil Qi that had been enveloped around his being. It hadn't eradicated his Devil bloodline, but it had purified his qi and even the physique.

However, Wang Jian sensed the delicate equilibrium of the Saint Lotus Pond. It was a place of pure Holy Qi, and attempting to unleash his Devil Bloodline or transform into his fearsome Devil Form here would be akin to courting a slow and agonizing demise.

Emerging from the pond, he made his way to Han Xifeng's quarters within the Heavenly Lotus Sect. Communication was effortless through the Telephone Artifact, allowing him to locate her swiftly.

In the sect, an alliance had formed between the Third Elder's and the Fifth Elder's factions. Wang Jian was greeted warmly by the members of this united force, who inquired about his well-being.

Expressing his desire to meet Han Xifeng, they graciously escorted him to her room. The moment Wang Jian crossed the threshold, Han Xifeng leaped up and enveloped him in an exuberant embrace.

"I can hardly believe it, you're really here," she exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

Without further ado, she drew him into a passionate kiss, and they spent intimate moments together behind the closed door of her room, rekindling their connection after their separation.

Their lips met in heated kisses, each one a testament to their love and desire. Wang Jian's hands explored the contours of Han Xifeng's body with an almost reverent touch, tracing the curves and edges that he had missed so dearly.

Her soft sighs of pleasure spurred him on, and the room seemed to pulse with the electricity of their desire.

As their clothing fell to the floor, discarded remnants of their separation, their bodies pressed together in an ardent embrace.

The sensation of skin against skin was a revelation, a reminder of the physicality of their love.

Wang Jian's lips traced a path down Han Xifeng's neck, planting tender kisses along the way, while her fingers danced across his back, leaving trails of sensation in their wake.

Their lovemaking was a symphony of passion and yearning, a testament to the depth of their emotions. In each other's arms, they found solace and completion.

Time seemed to blur as they explored the depths of their desire, their bodies moving in perfect harmony.

Hours passed in a haze of pleasure, their shared ecstasy building to a crescendo that left them both breathless and sated.

As they lay in each other's arms, tangled in the aftermath of their love, there was a profound sense of contentment and fulfillment.

Wang Jian's presence in the Heavenly Lotus Sect, against all odds and rules, had brought them together once more.

And so, this marked the inception of Wang Jian's influence within the Heavenly Lotus Sect.

Currently, Wang Jian was content with subtly exerting his influence over the sect through the Third Elder and the Fifth Elder's factions. Their deep respect and admiration for him provided a foundation upon which he could further strengthen his control over the Heavenly Lotus Sect.

His plan was to gradually consolidate his grip on the sect, slowly tightening his hold.

Meanwhile, Jiang Chen's presence was creating ripples across the Western Deserts.

Having reached the middle-stage of the Saint Realm and unsealed his Bloodline Abilities, he felt confident in handling any challenges that came his way.

Jiang Chen reached out to the ruler of the Gilded Oasis Dynasty that was an Empire in the Western Deserts in the form of the Devil Expert who had assisted them. His purpose for seeking him out was to acquire his assistance in an attack on the Everlasting Mystical Empire.

The ruler of this Emperor empires was familiar with the Emperor of the Everlasting Mystical Empire, the man who had developed the Telephone Artifact.

He had contacted each of the three Western Deserts Emperors and guided them to take action against that devil by trying to contact the Heavenly Court through the use of spreading the rumors.

The ruler of the Gilded Oasis Dynasty didn't harbor negative feelings towards Wang Jian, the Emperor of the Everlasting Mystical Empire, even though their plan had failed.

He didn't understand why the devil expert was targeting Wang Jian. It made him wonder whether this Devil Expert had discovered Wang Jian's secret plot.

But he soon dismissed that thought because if that was the case, the devil expert would have punished his own and the Bronze Mirage Empire as well.

Unfortunately, he couldn't obtain a clear answer to this question. His pledge bound him, leaving him with no choice but to proceed with Jiang Chen's plans.
