I, the Destined Villain, Start by Controlling the Saint

Golden mirror, shrimp and pig heartBringing Lan Yuhong to see Xiao Yun was merely a favor; even if he hadn’t asked him, he would have gone to meet this Child of Destiny.

The Xiao Family’s prison for errant Disciples was located in a mountain range in the northwest corner of Linxian Heaven.

The terrain here was treacherous, with nine turns and eighteen bends, and it was covered by a thick miasma, making it difficult for Divine Sense to penetrate; there were also many flying Restrictions above, making escape impossible.

Because besides imprisoning errant Xiao Family members, this place also held demons, ghosts, and Evil Path Cultivators.

Though called a prison, it was more like the eighteen levels of Hell; the prison was built underground with eighteen levels, and the deeper one went, the stronger the individuals imprisoned.

The mistake Xiao Yun made was not light, but it wasn’t heavy either, so he was held on the second underground level.

And all of this was also part of his plan.

In a dim cell, Xiao Yun sat cross-legged, his hands chained and his feet shackled.

He looked composed, not flustered at all by his imprisonment.

”You thought I just broke through to Golden Core? In reality, I had already broken through; I was just concealing it before. Now I am at Golden Core Stage - Initial Stage Perfection.”

”As long as you give me three days, I can complete the Breakthrough and become a Golden Core Middle Stage.”

”By then, the Family will definitely value my Genius. Even if I don’t soar to the heavens, my treatment will be much better than it is now.”

The Xiao Family was very tolerant of Genius Disciples; as long as they didn’t commit the mistake of betraying the Family, they could be tolerated.

He wanted to break through in prison, using his Genius to pave his way.

In the Internal Affairs Department, many Elders favored him, several of whom were the Elders who recommended him to the Family and were closely related to Xiao Yun’s Bloodline.

As long as Xiao Yun showed himself to be sufficiently Genius, those Elders who recommended him could secure more opportunities for him.

Therefore, Xiao Yun began to cultivate in seclusion.

Xiao Yun was full of confidence about breaking through to Golden Core Middle Stage because he had his own fortuitous encounter!

On the other side, Xiao Fan, accompanied by Lan Yuhong disguised as a maid, appeared outside the prison.

The guards watching the prison, seeing that the newcomer was the Young Master Xiao Fan, immediately stood up to greet him, saying:

”Young Master.”

This even directly alarmed the Void Refining Late Stage Elder guarding the place. The Elder guarding this place looked very young, likely due to some art of preserving youth.

He respectfully said, ”May I ask why the Young Master has come to this place?”

”Nothing much, I just heard that a collateral branch Disciple was recently imprisoned here, unrivaled among those of the same Golden Core Rank, having achieved seventy-nine consecutive victories. I was a bit curious, so I came to take a look,” Xiao Fan said indifferently.

The Elder understood immediately what was going on; it turned out he had come for Xiao Yun.

Being confined was just a minor mistake, so allowing a visit was not a problem.

”The Young Master must be referring to Xiao Yun. He is on the second level, and it’s not a major issue. If the Young Master wishes to see him, I can arrange it for you.”

”Hmm, thank you for your trouble,” Xiao Fan nodded.

Lan Yuhong, behind Xiao Fan, kept her head down, looking composed and respectful.

She adapted quickly, soon immersing herself in the role of a maid.

Led by the Elder, Xiao Fan was taken to the second underground level and met Xiao Yun.

This should be considered their first formal meeting.

”Young Master, this is the place.”

”Hmm,” Xiao Fan said with a smile.

The Elder also understood the hint and withdrew, only saying, ”Young Master, please. I have other matters to attend to, so I’ll go back and handle them first.”

When Xiao Yun sensed someone approaching, he immediately stopped his Cultivation.

When he saw that the person was Xiao Fan, he was somewhat surprised. How did he notice me?

However, when he noticed Lan Yuhong behind Xiao Fan, he immediately sat up in alarm and exclaimed, ”Yuhong, why is it you?”

Lan Yuhong glanced at Xiao Fan, as if pleading.

Xiao Fan did not speak, silently retreating to the side, letting the siblings talk, but still wanting to impose some limits.

Xiao Fan said indifferently, ”Don’t get close to the iron bars, and don’t speak loudly, understand?”

Lan Yuhong nodded, gratefully saying, ”This servant understands. This servant will not make things difficult for Young Master.”

Xiao Yun was instantly agitated upon hearing this. Servant?

Seeing Lan Yuhong’s subservient demeanor towards Xiao Fan, he urgently asked, ”Yuhong, what happened? How did you become his maid?”

”Speak, what exactly did you do to Yuhong!”

Xiao Yun’s mind instantly overheated because he felt a threat from Xiao Fan.

Lan Yuhong’s face changed drastically when she heard Xiao Yun question Xiao Fan, and she said, ”Brother Yun, what are you saying? The Young Master is kind-hearted, don’t make wild guesses.”

”Young Master, my brother might have been stimulated and is speaking a bit harshly. Please don’t blame him.”

Lan Yuhong was perceptive. A collateral branch Disciple, a direct lineage Young Master—their statuses were not equal. Daring to speak in such a tone, wouldn’t it be courting death to offend a superior?

She could only plead, hoping Xiao Fan would be magnanimous.

”I’m fine, perhaps Geniuses all have somewhat strange personalities,” Xiao Fan chuckled.

He looked at Xiao Yun mockingly. Fight with me? You’re still a bit too green!

Lan Yuhong breathed a sigh of relief. It was only because the Young Master was kind-hearted, otherwise, she feared she would suffer today.

Seeing Lan Yuhong’s attitude, Xiao Yun became even more furious, but he took a deep breath, suppressing the anger in his heart.

He apologized to Xiao Fan, saying, ”I was too hasty, offending Young Master. Please forgive me, Young Master.”

Xiao Fan couldn’t help but look at him with a bit more regard. This guy can really endure.

”You only have a quarter of an hour,” Xiao Fan said to Lan Yuhong, ignoring Xiao Yun.

”Thank you, this servant thanks Young Master for his great kindness.”

Xiao Fan waved his hand, telling her to stand up, while he himself clicked open Xiao Yun’s golden script.

Let me see, you, in another timeline, how exactly did you cause my Family’s ruin and death.

【Xiao Yun: Child of Destiny, exclusive Golden Finger: Luck Plundering Golden Light Mirror.】

【Luck Plundering Golden Light Mirror: Plunders Luck and adds it to oneself. Anyone illuminated by the Golden Light Mirror will become Xiao Yun’s target for plunder.】

【Method 1: For those illuminated by the Golden Light Mirror, as long as they are defeated by Xiao Yun, seven-tenths of the defeated person’s Luck will be plundered by him. The more Luck plundered, the smoother his path forward and the higher his talent.】

【Method 2: Cultivation Technique Simulation. Illuminate an ordinary Cultivation Technique with the Golden Light Mirror, consume the plundered Luck, and load it onto the Cultivation Technique, which can cause the Cultivation Technique to transform and advance to a higher Rank.

The Luck Plundering Golden Light Mirror can be used to make incomplete Cultivation Techniques complete and ordinary Cultivation Techniques profound.

There is an upper limit to the Cultivation Technique’s Rank; it can only advance to its Origin Cultivation Technique at most.】

Holy crap, that’s awesome!

This Golden Finger is truly amazing, it just accumulates some negative karma.

Plundering others’ Luck and adding it to oneself.

No wonder he set up a challenge arena, aiming for a hundred consecutive victories. Same-Rank battles were just a pretense; plundering Luck was the key!

No wonder he would make a move against me. This guy must have seen my Luck.

Xiao Fan understood in his heart.

A Young Master of a large Family, born with a silver spoon, naturally lucky, his Luck would definitely not be low.

A Child of Destiny could not possibly remain subservient. With the Luck Plundering Golden Light Mirror in hand, defeating me and seizing the position of Young Master would kill two birds with one stone.

As for Method 2, Xiao Fan didn’t pay much attention to it; it was just Cultivation Technique evolution, consuming Luck to turn low-level Cultivation Techniques into Advanced Cultivation Techniques.

Lan Yuhong anxiously questioned, ”You said you wouldn’t put yourself in danger, why did you lie to me?”

Xiao Yun felt a little guilty upon hearing this, but still lied, ”I just wanted to earn more Spirit Stones to buy better Spirit Medicine for you.”

Women are emotional; hearing this, most of her anger dissipated, and she only said:

”Don’t do this again.”

Xiao Fan sneered inwardly. For you?

It should be ’incidentally for you’, right? With a sick sister like you, he could challenge endlessly, and no one would suspect anything.

A perfect shield!

Xiao Fan ignored them, continuing to review his script in his mind.

【To stand out, Xiao Yun planned a scheme to get himself imprisoned.】

【First, he refused to complete a task, then ambiguously misled people into thinking the Xiao Family was unfair and left Family members to die, thereby getting himself imprisoned.】

【After being imprisoned, he directly broke through, raising his cultivation to Golden Core Middle Stage, showing his talent. Elders in the Internal Affairs Department also spoke up for him, fighting for his interests.】

【This way, he would most likely attract the attention of many Elders and enter the second level of Linxian Heaven, gaining better Cultivation environments and resources.】

”A collateral branch Disciple no one notices, attracting attention by stirring up conflict and disputes?” Xiao Fan’s eyes narrowed slightly. He even understood how to hype things up, deepening his Killing Intent towards this Xiao Yun.

This was definitely the most cunning Child of Destiny he had ever encountered.

”System, if I off him now, how much Villain Value would I get?”

【3000 points.】

”Only 3000? Why so low?”

He had only gotten 5000 Villain Value from Lan Yuhong alone, and Xiao Yun, as the protagonist, was only worth 3000?

【This System only gives bonuses for killing and attacking the Dao Heart. Simply killing a Child of Destiny doesn’t give a high bonus.】

It seemed to be true. At that time, Xiao Fan only got 10 points for forcing Qin Feng to kneel, but by using Su Yiyun to shatter his Dao Heart, he directly got 800 Villain Value.

To kill, one must also destroy the Dao Heart.

Xiao Fan continued to read.

【Xiao Yun is about to break through to Golden Core Middle Stage, and his plan to make a name for himself is about to be achieved.】

Shrimp and pig heart, shrimp and pig heart...

A plan formed in Xiao Fan’s mind. Perhaps he could make an issue out of his Cultivation Breakthrough.
