I, the Destined Villain, Start by Controlling the Saint

Xiao Fan’s ArrivalWhite Windflow’s face was very humble, but his heart was incomparably arrogant; none of the forces present were even half as good as his Witch God Sect.

Even the Hundred Flowers Holy Land here was not even a third as strong as the Witch God Sect.

The Witch God Sect had just not yet revealed its strength, but starting from this grand event, the name of the Witch God Sect would shake the world.

Hong Rushuang laughed charmingly, ”Fengliu, what are those things you brought?”

She pointed at the Profound Armor War Chariots, a look of confusion on her face.

It wasn’t just her; even the Cultivators present were incredibly curious. Could it be that they were really just for show?

White Windflow said seriously, ”Originally, I wanted to tell you after you won the Saintess position, but since you asked, I’ll be direct.”

”These are all betrothal gifts I’m using to propose and offer as dowry. Hundreds of carts of treasures, all prepared for you.”

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire venue erupted in an uproar.

All these things were filled with betrothal gifts?

Leaving aside the contents, just this display was dazzling beyond compare.

Hong Rushuang’s eyebrows lit up even more upon hearing this.

Being publicly declared love in front of a large crowd, and with such lavish spending, this feeling was simply irresistible.

Hong Rushuang’s eyes were like silk, and she laughed charmingly, ”You are thoughtful.”

White Windflow, however, pulled her into his embrace and declared to everyone present, ”At this grand event, it’s a perfect Opportunity for everyone to witness the love between Ru Shuang and me.”

”Come, bring the betrothal gifts!”

The Cultivators behind him received the order and immediately pushed the Profound Armor War Chariots forward, cart by cart.

They were opened on the spot, in front of everyone.

The Cultivators present were also curious. Proposing on the day of the Saintess assessment indeed had a deeper meaning, clearly showing support for Hong Rushuang.

Especially the Female Disciples of the Hundred Flowers Holy Land, who felt the strongest sense of rivalry.

Last time, Xiao Fan publicly declared that no one could be the Saintess except Jiang Lanzhi.

Today, White Windflow brought hundreds of carts of betrothal gifts to propose, which had a confrontational meaning.

However, the people present were even more curious about what was inside.

The people of the Witch God Sect immediately opened the betrothal gifts, pushing them forward cart by cart, and announced:

”White Windflow, the Saint of the Witch God Sect, takes this Opportunity of the Saintess assessment today to propose to your Holy Land’s Disciple, Hong Rushuang. The betrothal gifts are as follows:”

”First, five carts of Top-Grade Spirit Stones, with eighty million Top-Grade Spirit Stones in each cart.

Top-Grade Spirit Stones of the five attributes: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, one cart for each attribute, also with eighty million stones per cart.

Ten carts of Top-Grade Spirit Stones, totaling eight hundred million.”

As soon as the first betrothal gift was announced, it immediately made the Cultivators present feel their brains shrink.

No, is this called a dowry? Are you sure it’s not that you have too many Spirit Stones and nowhere to spend them?

Could it be that the abyss is also studded with diamonds? So expensive!

This gift is too heavy. Top-Grade Spirit Stones are the highest-grade Spirit Stones in this world, usable by Mahayana Cultivators for cultivation.

A Mahayana Cultivator, from Early Stage to Late Stage Perfection, if only counting Spiritual Qi consumption, can at most consume ten million Top-Grade Spirit Stones.

Even if your bone structure is excellent and your Physique is extraordinary, doubling it would be twenty million Top-Grade Spirit Stones. Calculating this way, it would be enough for at least forty Mahayana Cultivators to cultivate.

Moreover, Top-Grade Spirit Stones of a single attribute’s Spiritual Qi are even more precious. This gift is too valuable!

The first betrothal gift was earth-shattering; it was truly ruthless enough.

Not only these Cultivators, but even the Body Integration Female Elder was astonished by his offerings.

”This...”

Ru Shuang, what kind of man did you find after all?

White Windflow was very pleased. If the appetizer already startled you like this, won’t you be scared to death if I continue?

”The second betrothal gift: ten Top-Grade Spiritual Veins.”

Saying this, he pushed out ten more carts, opening their covers to reveal the true appearance of the Spiritual Veins inside.

Top-Grade Spiritual Veins produce Top-Grade Spirit Stones. They can gather the scattered energy of heaven and earth, continuously producing Spirit Stones and releasing Spiritual Qi.

These ten Top-Grade Spiritual Veins are far more valuable than the eight hundred million Top-Grade Spirit Stones.

Hiss, the Cultivators present all suspected whether the Witch God Sect was a bit slow-witted?

Using these things to cultivate a major force would be more than enough. Wouldn’t it be overkill to use them as betrothal gifts?

The Body Integration Female Elder was somewhat dazed. Young people nowadays are truly terrifying. Could it be that he brought out his Family’s entire treasure vault?

”The third betrothal gift: a thousand Treasure Artifacts, a hundred Low Grade Dao Artifacts, and ten High Grade Dao Artifacts.”

”The fourth betrothal gift: one hundred Body Integration-level combat Puppets, and ten Mahayana-level combat Puppets.”

”The fifth betrothal gift: ...”

”The sixth...”

Each item was a priceless treasure, not necessarily obtainable even with Spirit Stones, and these rare items were all given away.

Everyone felt that White Windflow had gone mad.

If he wasn’t mad, he was definitely a prodigal son. No matter how deep his Family’s foundation, it couldn’t withstand such extravagance.

Especially when that person announced the last and most important gift, the entire hall fell silent.

One could hear a pin drop!

”The last betrothal gift: three Three-Revolutions Heavy Origin Pills.”

Hiss, any Cultivator with some knowledge had heard of the fame of the Three-Revolutions Heavy Origin Pill. This was a Medicinal Pill that could increase a Major Achievement Cultivator’s chance of Ascension.

Calling it an Immortal Pill would not be an exaggeration!

He’s giving this away? And three of them at that.

He’s crazy, definitely crazy.

”Young Master Bai, I think I’m also good. Although I’m male, my preference is also male. Don’t be so strict about gender.”

”Holy crap, awesome!”

”You faggot, get lost! Young Hero Bai, I can perform gender reassignment surgery. Whatever type you want, I can satisfy you.”

”This one is even more significant!”

In front of these heavy gifts, some male Cultivators couldn’t stay calm. They decided to bravely step forward!

As for the female Cultivators, they were also showing their love frantically.

However, White Windflow heard nothing, only holding Hong Rushuang’s slender waist and saying to the Body Integration Female Elder:

”I was in a hurry and couldn’t prepare more. On the day of the wedding, I will definitely prepare a few more humble gifts.”

White Windflow said this with a slight apology, still putting on a show.

However, he truly had the capital for it.

The Body Integration Female Elder also greeted him with a smile, saying very happily, ”Saint Bai has come a long way. Please take a seat in the VIP section. Ru Shuang, take Saint Bai there; do not be impolite.”

Hong Rushuang respectfully replied, ”As you command.”

But inwardly, she was incredibly smug. Let you put on a show for me, and even publicly declare: The Saintess position belongs only to Jiang Lanzhi.

I will win this Saintess position and make you lose face.

Just as she was about to show off in front of Jiang Lanzhi, Jiang Lanzhi appeared before her at just the right moment.

”Isn’t this Junior Sister Jiang? How...”

But before she could speak, Jiang Lanzhi, carrying a fragrant breeze, floated away, her target directly in the distance.

Leaving her alone, unable to speak the words she had held back.

Jiang Lanzhi never felt that she had a competitor, including Hong Rushuang; she never considered her an opponent.

Not only did she live another life, but she was also one with Xiao Fan, and she could clearly feel a surge of powerful strength emerging within her.

With her former Empress strength, she could clearly feel that she could kill a Body Integration Cultivator with one punch, no problem.

With such monstrous strength, where could there be an opponent!

Under the state of being one with him, with a tacit understanding, Jiang Lanzhi easily sensed Xiao Fan’s arrival.

”He’s here!” Jiang Lanzhi’s face was filled with uncontrollable joy as she gazed into the distance.

Her jade hands tightly clutched her skirt, her longing evident.

From time to time, she looked at herself, tidying her dress.

Feeling the wind was a bit strong, disheveling her hair, she gently brushed it back, presenting her best state for him to see.

Everyone also noticed Jiang Lanzhi rushing out of the Holy Land, eagerly awaiting on the mountain gate.

Ever since Xiao Fan sent Jiang Lanzhi back last time and declared that only she could be the Saintess.

Jiang Lanzhi became a celebrity in the Holy Land; everyone in the Hundred Flowers Holy Land knew her name.

They didn’t know yet how high the status of White Windflow, the Saint of the Witch God Sect, was.

But they knew the power of Young Master Xiao’s dual identity as the Young Master of the Xiao Family and the Saint of Tai Xuan Holy Land.

Each was a height they could hardly reach.

”Isn’t that Senior Sister Jiang?”

”It is indeed Lan Zhi Senior Sister.”

”What is she doing there? She seems a bit nervous.”

”No, it’s clearly the joy of eagerly looking forward, alright.”

Soon, people knew what Jiang Lanzhi was looking at in that direction.

They saw a terrifying person with an immeasurable and vast aura, faintly giving the feeling of ascending to the heavens, leading the way.

With just a casual wave of his hand, the originally empty sky immediately unfolded a hundred-zhang-wide seven-colored cloud bridge.

Around the cloud bridge, spiritual birds flew, radiating colorful light, faintly showing signs of auspicious clouds and propitious omens.

With every step he took, the cloud bridge would extend one li forward. At the front of the cloud bridge, two white Auspicious Beasts exhaled clouds and mist, never stopping.

The Mahayana Elder was afraid it wasn’t flashy enough and wanted to add more flair, but Xiao Fan stopped him, saying it was enough.

Only then did the Mahayana Elder stop.

This was not Xiao Fan’s idea, but rather the Elders’ own doing.

One Three-Revolutions Heavy Origin Pill. If they just accompanied him like this, they wouldn’t feel at ease taking it.

What if the Holy Lord finds us useless and doesn’t look for us next time? No, we must make the Holy Lord feel that these three Medicinal Pills were well worth it!

Doesn’t the Saint want a grand display?

Then I’ll put on a show for him and let him see what a professional team is.

Therefore, the three Mahayana Elders discussed it and decided to directly lay out a cloud bridge.

To let the world see what it means to arrive stepping on colorful auspicious clouds.

Indeed, the moment the seven-colored auspicious clouds and the boundless auspicious signs appeared, the entire world was illuminated.

Instantly attracting everyone’s attention.

”I thought the Witch God Sect’s display was grand enough, but I didn’t expect someone to be even more impressive than him.”

”Whose subordinate is this?”

Above the cloud bridge, a Nine Golden Dragon carriage came riding on the clouds, followed by a neat and uniform procession of Tai Xuan Nascent Soul Disciples and Soul Transformation Deacons, their momentum spreading for ten thousand li.

Especially those nine golden giant Dragons, with bodies ten thousand zhang long, their aura ethereal yet vast. Each Dragon’s breath, without even a Dragon’s roar, made one feel the immense Dragon might.

This was still under extreme restraint. If Xiao Fan let them run wild, they could instantly soar into the Nine Heavens.

From within the Treasure Chariot, Xiao Fan stepped out. He also sensed Jiang Lanzhi’s aura.

At the same time, he made the Nine Golden Dragon carriage shrink, the Dragon bodies reducing to a hundred zhang in length, suppressing their momentum.

Despite this, those nine golden Dragons were still too eye-catching.

”My eyes aren’t playing tricks on me, are they? Is that a Five-Clawed Golden Dragon?”

”I think I didn’t see wrong. That is indeed a Five-Clawed Golden Dragon.”

”Damn! Nine Five-Clawed Golden Dragons, does this symbolize the Supreme Emperor?”

”How extravagant! Not only Five-Clawed Golden Dragons, but they’re all Mahayana Realm Golden Dragons, only used to pull carts? Poverty limits my imagination.”

”What is the background of this Tai Xuan Saint?”

Many people did not know Xiao Fan’s true identity and background, because they were not from the same world, and Xiao Fan usually kept a low profile, so his reputation was not prominent.

Except for those in high positions, few people recognized him.

”It’s Young Master Xiao!” The Female Disciples of the Hundred Flowers Holy Land recognized the person at a glance.

He had appeared like this last time too, and the appearance of that Nine Golden Dragon carriage was deeply engraved in everyone’s minds.

Many female Disciples wished that they were the one on top, but alas, others were Young Masters of large families and also the Tai Xuan Saint. They must be pure of Heart-Nature and upright.

Publicly calling out Jiang Lanzhi’s name, one could tell he was a deeply affectionate person who valued loyalty and righteousness, simply perfect.

Xiao Fan flew out of the Treasure Chariot and went alone towards the Hundred Flowers Holy Land’s mountain gate.

Jiang Lanzhi’s eyes were filled with tenderness; the man she had been eagerly awaiting had arrived.

She couldn’t wait, transforming into a Holy Light, and rushing into Xiao Fan’s embrace.

”You’re here,” Jiang Lanzhi said with sweet tenderness.

”Of course, you are my fiancée. Don’t I have to come and support you?” Xiao Fan said with a smile, embracing Jiang Lanzhi’s slender waist.

As soon as the people from Tai Xuan Holy Land arrived, a Mahayana Elder immediately came out to greet them.

”This must be the Tai Xuan Saint. So young and handsome, with unlimited prospects,” she praised with a smile.

Looking at Xiao Fan’s affection for Jiang Lanzhi, she had some understanding in her heart. Xiao Fan would definitely be a great help to the Hundred Flowers Holy Land.

One of their own!

Xiao Fan: ”Senior, you flatter me. I merely obtained some Opportunities by chance and improved my cultivation.”

”You’ve come a long way. I apologize for not welcoming you sooner. Please come inside and rest with me.”

”Thank you for your trouble.”

Xiao Fan’s Divine Sense was keen. He could feel a pair of jealous eyes looking at Jiang Lanzhi.

And a cold gaze looking at him.

He turned his head and saw White Windflow and Hong Rushuang.

”Do I have a grudge with them?” Xiao Fan asked.

Jiang Lanzhi nodded, ”Perhaps not before, but now you do.”

Jiang Lanzhi told him the whole story: hundreds of carts of betrothal gifts, a public proposal, and saying he wanted to see Hong Rushuang win the Saintess position.

Isn’t this directly opposing him, Xiao Fan?

It seems that this Saintess competition will likely be interesting.
