VILLAIN: MANIPULATING THE HEROINES INTO HATING THE PROTAGONIST - Chapter 513: Preparation To Depart For Lin Family's Starry Expanse

Wang Jian observed the flurry of activity in the main hall of the Heavenly Jade Pavilion as Pavilion Mistress Cui Lan examined the lengthy list of materials he had provided. He watched her closely, waiting for her reaction, knowing that their success hinged on her ability to gather the necessary resources.

Pavilion Mistress Cui Lan’s brows furrowed slightly as she perused the list, her expression growing more serious with each passing moment. Wang Jian couldn’t help but feel a surge of nervousness, his heart pounding in his chest as he waited for her verdict.

“This list… it’s quite extensive,” Pavilion Mistress Cui Lan remarked, her voice echoing with a hint of concern. “Many of these materials are exceedingly rare, and some may prove challenging to obtain.”

Wang Jian nodded in agreement, his mind already racing with potential solutions. He knew that securing the resources would be no easy task, but he was determined to see their plan through to the end.

“We’ll need to mobilize all of our resources to gather these materials,” Pavilion Mistress Cui Lan continued, her gaze meeting Wang Jian’s with unwavering determination. “I’ll assemble the elders of the Array Formation Division and task them with this mission.”

A sense of relief washed over Wang Jian as he heard her words. He knew that Pavilion Mistress Cui Lan was not one to back down from a challenge, and he had full confidence in her ability to lead the mission.

As Pavilion Mistress Cui Lan summoned the elders of the Array Formation Division, Wang Jian couldn’t help but feel a surge of excitement. He knew that their success would depend on the dedication and skill of these talented individuals, and he was eager to see them in action.

Soon, the hall was filled with the chatter of voices as the elders gathered around Pavilion Mistress Cui Lan, their expressions a mix of curiosity and determination. Wang Jian observed them closely, taking note of their resolve and sense of purpose.

“All right, everyone,” Pavilion Mistress Cui Lan began, her voice carrying authority. “We have a mission to complete. Wang Jian has provided us with a list of materials needed for a crucial array formation, and it’s up to us to gather them.”

The elders nodded in understanding, their eyes alight with determination. They knew that their task would not be easy, but they were ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead.

“We’ll split into teams and begin our search immediately,” Pavilion Mistress Cui Lan continued, her tone decisive. “Each team will be responsible for gathering specific materials from different locations. Remember, our success depends on our ability to work together and overcome any obstacles that come our way.”

With that, the elders dispersed, each one preparing for the journey ahead.

One particular team, led by an exceptionally beautiful elder at the Divine Ascension Realm, embarked on a journey to the Lin Family’s Starry Expanse in search of the elusive Divine Crimson Gold. Wang Jian watched as they departed, a sense of anticipation building within him.

“Alright, let’s see how this plays out,” Wang Jian muttered to himself, a mischievous glint in his eye. He knew that the presence of such stunningly beautiful elders would undoubtedly attract the attention of the Star Lords patrolling the area, and he couldn’t wait to see the chaos unfold.

As the days passed, news began to trickle in from the various teams of elders, each reporting their progress in the search for the required resources. Wang Jian listened intently to their reports, his excitement growing with each passing day.

As the days rolled by, teams of elders returned to the Heavenly Jade Pavilion, bearing the fruits of their labor in the form of the rare resources listed by Wang Jian. Pavilion Mistress Cui Lan greeted each returning group with a warm smile, rewarding them with rare treasures as a token of appreciation for their efforts. The atmosphere in the pavilion was one of jubilation and accomplishment as the elders celebrated their success.

However, amidst the jubilation, there was a sense of unease lingering in the air. One group of elders failed to return, their absence casting a shadow over the otherwise joyous occasion.

Pavilion Mistress Cui Lan furrowed her brow in concern, her mind racing as she contemplated the fate of the missing group. “This is troubling,” she murmured to herself, her thoughts consumed by worry. “Why haven’t they returned? And why haven’t they contacted us?”

Concern rippled through the pavilion as rumors spread about the fate of the missing group. Wang Jian observed the growing unease with a sense of satisfaction, knowing that his plan was unfolding exactly as he had envisioned.

Internally, Wang Jian couldn’t help but smile at the turn of events. He knew that the missing elders had likely fallen into the hands of the Star Lords, and he relished the chaos and confusion that his manipulation had caused.

As Pavilion Mistress Cui Lan mobilized her spy network to gather information, Wang Jian watched from the sidelines, his mind racing with anticipation. He knew that it was only a matter of time before the truth was revealed, and he eagerly awaited the outcome of their investigation.

It wasn’t long before Pavilion Mistress Cui Lan received word from her spy within the Lin Family’s Starry Expanse. The grim truth was revealed—the missing elders had indeed been abducted by the Star Lords patrolling the area.

Upon learning of this dire situation, Pavilion Mistress Cui Lan’s expression hardened, her determination unwavering in the face of adversity. She knew that they could not allow their fellow sisters to remain captive to the whims of the Star Lords, and she vowed to take action to secure their release.

As the news spread throughout the Heavenly Jade Pavilion, a sense of urgency permeated the air. The elders gathered in solemn discussion, their minds racing with plans and strategies to rescue their missing companions. Wang Jian watched the proceedings with keen interest, his mind already calculating the next steps in their intricate dance of manipulation.

“It seems the time has come to intervene,” Wang Jian murmured to himself, his gaze focused and determined. He knew that the situation called for swift and decisive action, and he was prepared to do whatever it took to ensure the safety of the abducted elders.

Pavilion Mistress Cui Lan wasted no time in formulating a plan of action, her voice resolute as she addressed the gathered elders. “We cannot allow our sisters to remain in captivity,” she declared, her words ringing with conviction. “We must act swiftly to rescue them from the clutches of the Star Lords.”

The elders nodded in agreement, their resolve bolstered by Pavilion Mistress Cui Lan’s unwavering leadership. Together, they formulated a daring rescue mission, drawing upon their collective skills and resources to orchestrate a plan of attack.

However, before they could finalize their plans, Wang Jian stepped forward, his expression determined.

“I wish to join the rescue mission,” he announced, his voice firm as he met Pavilion Mistress Cui Lan’s gaze. “I may not possess the strength of a Divine Ascension Realm cultivator, but I have connections that may prove useful in this endeavor.”

Pavilion Mistress Cui Lan regarded Wang Jian with a mixture of surprise and skepticism. “This is no ordinary mission, Wang Jian,” she cautioned, her tone serious. “The Star Lords we’re dealing with are incredibly powerful. Are you certain you’re prepared for the dangers that lie ahead?”

Wang Jian nodded, his resolve unwavering. “I understand the risks,” he replied, his voice steady. “But I also know Lin Xingya, the heiress of the Lin Ancient Family. If we seek her assistance, we may be able to garner support from the Lin Family to aid us in our mission. Considering that it is their territory, we would be able to employ high-ranking array formations against the Star Lords.”

Pavilion Mistress Cui Lan paused, considering Wang Jian’s words carefully. She knew that enlisting the help of the Lin Family could significantly bolster their chances of success, but she also understood the dangers involved in confronting the Star Lords.

After a moment of contemplation, Pavilion Mistress Cui Lan nodded in agreement. “Very well,” she conceded, her expression grave. “If you truly believe that you can secure assistance from the Lin Family, then you may join us on this mission. But remember, the stakes are high, and failure is not an option.”

Wang Jian nodded solemnly, his determination burning brightly in his eyes. “I won’t let you down,” he vowed, his voice filled with conviction.

As Wang Jian joined Pavilion Mistress Cui Lan and the group of elders preparing to embark on their rescue mission, excitement mingled with apprehension in the air. They were a formidable sight, each one armed with determination and a sense of purpose.

“Make sure you have your Divine Escape Talismans ready,” Pavilion Mistress Cui Lan instructed, her voice firm as she addressed the group. “We cannot afford to underestimate the threat posed by these Star Lords.”

Wang Jian nodded, his expression serious as he checked the talisman at his waist. The rare artifact pulsed with energy, a reassuring reminder of the protection it offered. ‘I’m ready for whatever comes our way,’ he thought to himself, steeling his resolve for the journey ahead.

With their preparations complete, the group set off, their destination clear in their minds.
