From a scholar to a villain, I was a good person at the beginning

There was a huge crack at the end of the rift, and spiritual energy was emanating from it, refreshing the heart. This was the source of the red light.

The diffused spiritual energy, under the reflection of the red light, is like a red river running through the sect's rift valley. This is the origin of the name of the Red River Sect.

"You are so lucky! I am the disciple responsible for taking care of Wanlihong. I can take you across the barrier directly."

Liang Wanwan showed off her own value with a proud look on her face, as if asking for praise.

She took Jiang Zheng with her, took an unconventional route, avoided many disciples along the way, and came to the deepest part of the Red River Sect, almost without anyone noticing.

Occasionally meeting acquaintances, no one would suspect anything because Liang Wanwan was the disciple responsible for taking care of Wanlihong.

"Come in."

Jiang Zheng stood in front of the barrier, still calm and composed.

"oh……"

Liang Wanwan had a resentful look on her face. She took out a red jade slip and a ray of light shot out from the barrier.

The barrier cracked open, the two looked around, and then went in.

After crossing the barrier, a deep red pool appeared in front of them, spewing out red spiritual light, as if the earth was breathing.

It is so beautiful, with red light dancing in the air, like a dream.

Spiritual energy continuously emanates from it, nourishing the entire Red River Sect. This is the Red River Sect’s blessed land and the foundation of its existence.

"So this is the blessed land..."

Jiang Zheng looked at the deep pool filled with red light and found it very magical.

The spiritual energy that permeated the surroundings was much more dense than that in his stone chamber. Even though his stone chamber had a spirit gathering array carved into it, it was still not as dense as that in this blessed place.

"Where is Wanlihong?" Jiang Zheng did not forget his purpose.

"Now that you've got the Wanlihong... are you leaving?" Liang Wanwan did not answer directly, but asked instead, looking a little depressed.

"Yeah," Jiang Zheng nodded.

"Hehe...boy, this girl fell in love with you at first sight. Don't let her down if you do this much."

Kong Qing chuckled and pointed out deliberately that he wanted to make Jiang Zheng embarrassed.

"The only person I cannot let down is Mu Xi. She is the only one," Jiang Zheng responded in his mind.

As she spoke, Liang Wanwan raised her hand and formed a seal, sending out a ray of spiritual light that fell on an invisible barrier above the red pond.

A barrier appeared, with a strange flower suspended inside. It had no roots or stems, was the size of a palm, bright red, and emitted waves of spiritual charm.

Then she circulated her spiritual energy and guided the red light towards Wanlihong for the last time.

"Take the Wanlihong. I hope you will remember me after you leave. My name is Liang Wanwan."

There was a heavy sadness in her voice, as if everything was just a dream. In just a short moment, she had given her whole heart to a stranger.

Once I meet you, I will ruin my whole life.

No matter how sad a woman is, it is probably no more painful than this.

"Liang Wanwan...Thank you, I will remember it"

Jiang Zheng nodded and memorized these three words in his heart. He looked at the barrier in front of him and frowned.

This barrier is not simple. It will take a lot of time to break it silently. It may be too late to take it slowly, but it will only take a moment to break it with brute force, but it will undoubtedly alarm the entire Red River Valley.

Moreover, after obtaining the Wanlihong, it would take time to refine the Great Golden Pill. The Lingxi Sect would set off in three days, so there was not much time to waste.

Otherwise, the sect will definitely find out that he had coerced Song Yan. Currently, Lingxi sect has three Jindan.

Lan Tianyu is still seriously injured and has not recovered. The only ones left are Lin Muxi's master Dan Changfeng and Wu Yizi. Now is not the time to fall out. It will be troublesome if they are discovered.

"You haven't told me yet, what's your name?" Liang Wanwan asked hurriedly when she saw Jiang Zheng preparing to take action.

"Nice to meet you," he turned to look at Liang Wanwan, without hiding anything, "My name is Jiang Zheng, Jiang like river, Zheng like strong bones"

"Jiang... Zheng... Jiang Zheng," Liang Wanwan repeated his name with a charming smile, "It sounds so nice!"

"Thanks"

Jiang Zheng no longer hesitated. A terrifying aura emerged from his body, revealing his cultivation level of the early stage of the Golden Core. The spiritual energy around him was stirred wildly.

Afterwards, as his qi and blood surged, several true martial arts rhymes emerged at Jiang Zheng's fingertips.

The spiritual energy storm forced Liang Wanwan into a corner. She looked at Jiang Zheng with even more shock. She had originally boldly guessed that Jiang Zheng might have the foundation-building cultivation level.

Now it seems that it is far more than that. Such an aura is really too terrifying. She has only seen it in the sect's Jindan elders before.

"Wait!" Kong Qing suddenly spoke.

"What's wrong?" He stopped his finger that was about to point to the barrier.

"Hehe...boy, you are only concerned about taking the treasures from heaven and earth. Have you ever thought about what will happen to this little girl after you take the Wanlihong? What will happen to her if she helps you steal the treasures from the sect? I'm afraid...hehehe..."

Kong Qing seemed very excited and was looking forward to what decision Jiang Zheng would make.

Should he abandon this girl without caring about her, or...

He wanted to see how cold-blooded Jiang Zheng had become after going through so much.

His laughter gradually became more and more unbridled, "Hahahaha... choose, it's so interesting!!"

"this……"

Jiang Zheng frowned, cursing himself for not considering this and needing Kong Qing to remind him.

"What's wrong?" Liang Wanwan asked in confusion when she saw Jiang Zheng's breath gradually fading.

"You...what would you do if I took this Wanlihong?"

Jiang Zheng hesitated for a moment before speaking, his tone slightly worried.

"Hehe...what? Are you worried about me?"

When Liang Wanwan heard this, her heart warmed up and she smiled, seeming very happy.

"No, we just met by chance, but you have helped me so much. If I take this Wanlihong, you will be punished, and I will feel really bad."

Jiang Zheng expressed his inner thoughts truthfully.

"Hehe, after all, aren't you worried about me?" Her smile became more charming.

"Um?"

Jiang Zheng's expression changed, as if he sensed something.

"What's wrong?!" Seeing that his face looked strange, Liang Wanwan immediately became worried.

"Nothing... I didn't expect to be discovered so soon."

"What should we do?! You should take the Wanlihong and leave! Don't worry about me. At most, I will be charged with negligence in guarding the place, but I won't lose my life!"

Liang Wanwan immediately panicked and urged Jiang Zheng to leave.

“Hehe… If you fail to guard such a precious treasure, you’ll be badly injured if you don’t die!” Kong Qing laughed.

"It's okay, don't be afraid"

Jiang Zheng chuckled and then raised his finger.

Wow——!

Red flames burned at the fingertips, and the flames quickly condensed and turned into a hideous red ghost face.

"It's just the loss of a few knives."

Jiang Zheng casually put the mask on his face and pointed at the barrier.

…

There was a loud noise coming from deep in the rift, followed by a burst of red light that illuminated half the sky.

"Oh no! Wanlihong!!!"

On the way, the three elders saw that the roof of their own paradise had been blown off, and they were so angry that they almost vomited blood.

"All disciples, listen up! Block the sect and kill the evil thief!!!"

The rough voice spread throughout the sect.

Golden light burst out from the three people, and in the blink of an eye they arrived above the blessed land.

In the red light, a red figure stepped into the air and slowly walked towards the three people. His robes rustled and his red hair danced wildly in the wind.

There was a hideous mask on his face, like a red-faced evil ghost crawling out of hell.

In his hand he held a strange flower, which was filled with red light and spiritual charm.

Liang Wanwan hid behind him, stepping on the flying sword, her body trembling slightly because of fear.

She grabbed the corner of Jiang Zheng's clothes with one hand, but was afraid that holding it too tightly would annoy her lover, so she just carefully pinched it with two fingers, very tightly.

She was afraid. She was afraid that the boy in front of her who made her fall in love at first sight; the boy who made her desperate; the boy who looked cold, would leave her alone.

But as long as he doesn't abandon her, she would be willing to do so even if she was stabbed by thousands of blades.

"Alas, love is the most difficult thing to guess in the world..." Kong Qing has experienced countless things, so no matter how complicated the girl's thoughts are at the moment, he can see through them.

He seemed to have thought of something again, and his throat was choked for a moment, making it difficult for him to laugh.

"Little thief! Hand over Wanlihong!!"

"Damn you, you evil thief! I'm going to kill you!!"

“…”

The moment the three of them saw the Wanlihong in Jiang Zheng's hand, they were so furious that their livers and lungs exploded and their teeth were broken!

The natural treasures that I had cultivated with great effort for many years were just about to be picked, but they were stolen by a petty thief!

The most important thing is that it was done quietly and hidden from everyone.

One is in the middle stage of Jindan, and two are in the early stage.

With just a casual glance, Jiang Zheng saw through the cultivation levels of the three people.

"If you leave Wanlihong behind, I will leave your body intact."

The Great Elder took a step forward, his tone extremely cold. With his strength in the middle stage of the Golden Core, he could suppress the evil villain in the early stage of the Golden Core by himself.

What's more, there are two people in the early Jindan stage on his side.

All the Red River Sect disciples shouted loudly and surrounded Jiang Zheng tightly. This time, the whole sect was truly using its strength to suppress one person.

“Hehehe… Wonderful! Really wonderful!!”

In such an atmosphere, Kong Qing quickly became excited to the extreme again. He had personally experienced such scenes countless times in the past, and he still felt his blood boiling when he saw it now.

"Make way... I'll only give you one chance, I don't want to kill anyone"

Jiang Zheng spoke coldly.

“Don’t want to kill anyone? Hahahahaha…! You little brat, only in the early stage of the Golden Core stage, what confidence do you have to say such things?!”

The two elders behind him seemed to have heard some huge joke.

"You seem very confident. I want to see how you kill people."

The Great Elder also sneered.

Liang Wanwan had never seen such a scene before. She hid behind Jiang Zheng, trembling all over and her face pale.

"Are you scared?" Jiang Zheng chuckled.

"No...I'm not afraid!" Her voice was trembling, but she still said stubbornly that she was not afraid.

"I haven't fought since I entered the Dao. It's just right that I can use these people this time... to prove my Dao!"

With a point of his finger, a few strands of martial arts energy turned into a barrier to protect Liang Wanwan.

Jiang Zheng stood with his hands behind his back, his whole body radiating golden light. Black and white energy emerged behind him, and a terrifying Taoist aura swirled behind him.

He took a step forward and a wave of energy surged out, sweeping across the Red River Faction's army.
