I, the Destined Villain, Start by Controlling the Saint

Xiaofang is thinking, why do you favor them!While Xiao Fan was away, Xiao Fang had been playing with Dragon Ningbing.

Ning Bing spoke little and had a naive Heart-Nature, getting along very well with Xiao Fang, playing with great joy.

Gradually, Xiao Fang also learned from Ning Bing what Xiao Fan liked.

It was that kind of very proper liking.

Dragon Ningbing didn’t say a word about things unsuitable for children.

Seeing Xiao Fan in a daze, Xiao Fang thought it was because the gift she prepared was too much of a surprise.

”Daddy, quickly give me your book, I’ll help you take care of it,” she said in a childish voice.

Xiao Fan was very pleased, ”You truly are my most considerate little cotton-padded jacket.”

He took out the Chronospace Codex and handed it to Xiao Fang.

However, Xiao Fang didn’t take it. She looked at Xiao Fan with a beaming smile, her small, fair, delicate hands clasped tightly behind her back, and said somewhat shyly, ”Daddy, Xiao Fang needs some reward.”

”Reward?” Xiao Fan didn’t understand.

Xiao Fang pointed her small index finger to her cheek, indicating her meaning.

Dragon Ningbing transmitted a message to Xiao Fan, explaining, ”Young Master, Xiao Fang means she wants you to kiss her.”

Xiao Fan smiled. He picked up Xiao Fang, kissed both sides of her cheeks, and said, ”Are you satisfied now?”

”Hehe, Daddy, you lost out. I only asked you to kiss one side of my face.”

”As Daddy’s good daughter, how can I let Daddy suffer a loss?”

With that, she lightly kissed Xiao Fan’s cheek, ”Emm~ mua~.”

This made Xiao Fan laugh; it was quite amusing.

Xiao Fang took the Chronospace Codex, and Xiao Fan said,

”Will this affect your body? If it’s harmful, then forget it.”

Xiao Fang shook her head and said, ”This small matter won’t affect Xiao Fang. Daddy, just watch.”

Xiao Fang grabbed at the Void Realm, and golden quicksand gathered into a funnel, pouring down onto the book.

The golden quicksand disintegrated upon contact, being absorbed by the Chronospace Codex and losing its original color.

What resulted was a Chronospace Codex even more enveloped in precious light.

With Xiao Fan’s insight, he could naturally tell that the golden quicksand in the hourglass was time.

He couldn’t materialize time into golden sand.

Xiao Fan gained a deeper understanding of Xiao Fang’s ability.

Suddenly, Xiao Fang stopped.

Xiao Fan thought something was wrong and asked with concern, ”What’s wrong?”

”Daddy, I can draw time from other places and gather it here, which is what’s happening now.”

”I’m afraid of drawing all the time from here, causing everything to fall into stagnation,” Xiao Fang whispered.

Drawing time!

It seems this divine skill is like robbing Peter to pay Paul.

Xiao Fan said, ”Then let’s change places and go outside.”

Xiao Fang danced with joy, exclaiming, ”Yay!”

Xiao Fan felt he had been tricked. Could she have been trying to trick him from the start, wanting him to take her out?

He turned back to scrutinize Xiao Fang carefully, only to see her smiling sweetly, cooing, ”Daddy, I really didn’t lie to you, it really will be a problem.”

Her explanation, like a person protesting too much, made Xiao Fan laugh.

”Alright, I understand.”

Xiao Fan picked her up, walked to Ning Bing, and called her to come out with them.

Taking care of Xiao Fang still required Ning Bing’s help.

Before leaving, he also sat in Qing Yu’s room for a moment, chatting with Qing Yu.

Qing Yu knew Xiao Fan’s personality and didn’t try to keep him much longer, only telling him to remember that someone was waiting for him here.

Xiao Fan smiled knowingly at Qing Yu, naturally embracing her and enjoying the brief moment of peace.

...

...

While Xiao Fan enjoyed his peaceful time, the Holy Temple’s training assessment quietly concluded.

Without surprise, Su Chen gained greatly from the assessment.

But the cost was equally tragic.

Ninety percent of his fellow Disciples who entered with him died.

Those who miraculously survived were also heavily wounded, missing limbs.

”Holy crap, is the assessment that intense?”

”Broken hands and feet, vacant eyes, and such heavy expressions, is this assessment very dangerous?”

”No, it seems that apart from them, the other families weren’t so severely affected.”

”Oh right, maybe they were unlucky and ran into danger.”

”...”

Su Chen’s face was gloomy, and he remained silent, helping his injured Senior Brothers walk out.

The Ancient God Sect Elder waiting at the exit felt his heart sink to the bottom when he saw only a few people emerge.

He quickly stepped forward and asked, ”Su Chen, why are only a few of you out? Where are the others?”

Although he had a guess, he still hoped for a miracle.

Nothing must happen. These people were all promising talents of the Ancient God Sect, future pillars.

If something happened to all of them here, he wouldn’t be able to account for it.

When Su Chen heard the Elder’s worried words, his heart ached. If he hadn’t been so arrogant and had listened to the Elder to be more low-key, it would have been better.

An Ancient God Sect Disciple choked out,

”Elder, it’s my incompetence. I failed to take good care of the Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters.”

”They are all... gone.”

The Ancient God Sect Elder’s eyes went dark, and he felt as if the sky had fallen.

All, all gone?

”What exactly happened?” the Ancient God Sect Elder asked.

Before he could reply, the Underworld Dao Sect Elder rushed over furiously, shouting,

”Su Chen, return my Disciple’s life!”

As he spoke, a Taiyi Golden Immortal’s attack arrived instantly.

A dark, thorny spear charged towards Su Chen’s heart, aiming to kill him with one blow.

The Ancient God Sect Elder stepped forward, batting away the thorny spear, and rebuked,

”What, do you Underworld Dao Sect want to start a war? Come on, I’ll fight to the end.”

He abandoned his usual forbearance and became incredibly arrogant and violent.

”If it’s war, then it’s war. Who’s afraid of you?” The Underworld Dao Sect Elder also didn’t back down.

Tit for tat!

The Underworld Dao Sect Elder roared at Su Chen, ”What a vicious brat! You dare to annihilate my Underworld Dao Sect’s entire lineage? Your Heart-Nature is corrupt, and you will definitely be a scourge in the future.”

”Watch me eliminate you today, to rid our Righteous Path of this menace.”

As soon as these words came out, the entire crowd was in an uproar.

The death of his fellow Disciples had filled Su Chen with resentment, and now seeing the Underworld Dao Sect’s aggressive demeanor, the anger in his heart could no longer be suppressed.

Su Chen shouted,

”Claiming to be the Righteous Path, are you worthy?”

”Your Underworld Dao Sect’s Disciples, how you targeted my Ancient God Sect during the assessment, don’t tell me you don’t know, you personally gave the orders.”

”Look, look at the wounds on the Senior Brothers beside me, which one wasn’t inflicted by your Underworld Dao Sect people?”

”If you dare to kill my Ancient God Sect people, then be prepared to be killed.”

”If you have the guts, kill me now, otherwise, when I return, I will definitely annihilate your entire Underworld Dao Sect.”

Su Chen was furious, responding with sharp words, his eyes filled with solidified killing intent, wishing he could annihilate the Underworld Dao Sect immediately.

However, his strength was insufficient, so he had to endure it first.

Endure!

”Good, good, good, you’re truly not afraid of death. Then I’ll destroy you now.”

The Underworld Dao Sect Elder’s killing intent was chilling. Five Elders brazenly attacked, two of whom were Grand Unity Golden Immortals.

The Ancient God Sect only had one Elder in the Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm.

The five of them attacked with full force, disregarding the rules and intending to forcefully suppress and kill him.

”Stop, this is the Holy Temple, not a place for you to run wild.”

A shout came from afar; it was a Holy Temple Steward who had come out to maintain order.

However, by the time he shouted, the merciless killing blows had already struck Su Chen.

Su Chen was protected by the Elder, and his exotic treasure also displayed its power. The two combined barely allowed him to escape a calamity.

Although he didn’t lose his life, he was severely injured, spitting blood, and his face was pale, swollen, and weak.

Pfft!

The Holy Temple Steward walked over, unhurriedly.

He went through the motions, asking for the reason.

When he learned that the two families were enemies and had massacred each other during the assessment, he merely said,

”I don’t care about your grievances, but as long as you are here, you must obey my Holy Temple. Any great feuds, discuss them after you leave the Holy Temple.”

”This is not a place for you to fight.”

”Get lost, don’t cause any more trouble, or I will kill both of your families,” the Holy Temple Steward said coldly.

The Underworld Dao Sect people were bullies who feared the strong.

As soon as the Holy Temple Steward spoke, they immediately cowered, repeatedly saying that they had been impulsive and had offended the Steward.

Then they presented treasures to the Steward as a form of apology.

The Holy Temple Steward didn’t want to get too involved and, seeing their good sense, allowed the Underworld Dao Sect people to leave.

Su Chen, however, refused. He shouted, ”Is your Holy Temple this biased?”

”They attacked for no reason, severely injuring me and our Elder, and you just let them go?”

The Holy Temple Steward said coldly, ”What, you want me to avenge you?”

”I said, any grudges are between your two families. Do you not understand human language?”

The Ancient God Sect Elder also pulled Su Chen back, rebuking, ”Su Chen, cough cough... shut up.”

Then, he smiled and apologized to the Holy Temple Steward, saying, ”Please forgive us, Steward, we have caused you trouble.”

Su Chen was filled with rage. Why? Why didn’t he uphold justice for them?

”Elder, it was clearly their fault. Why is the Holy Temple biased towards the Underworld Dao Sect?”

As soon as these words left his mouth, the Ancient God Sect Elder immediately slapped him hard, saying, ”Still disobedient? Do you want us all to die?”

Only then did Su Chen remember that it was because he hadn’t listened to the Elder before that the tragic incident during the assessment occurred, leading to the tragic deaths of his Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters.

His eyes were red, and his voice choked with sobs. His fists beneath his long sleeves were tightly clenched, veins protruding, as if he had suffered an immense grievance.

In the end, the Ancient God Sect Elder paid a huge sum of treasures to finally settle the matter.

The Ancient God Sect Elder pulled Su Chen over and said earnestly, ”How many times do I have to tell you, don’t be impulsive, don’t be impulsive, do you not understand?”

Su Chen didn’t understand and said indignantly, ”It was clearly the Underworld Dao Sect who made the first mistake. Didn’t the Holy Temple say that grudges from the assessment are not allowed to be brought outside? The Underworld Dao Sect violated the rules, why doesn’t the Holy Temple punish them?”

”Punish, how to punish?” the Ancient God Sect Elder said.

”Do you have the ability to make the Holy Temple intervene?”

”Don’t be foolish. The Holy Temple people don’t uphold justice. If you feel it’s unfair, then speak with strength.”

After hearing these words, Su Chen calmly said,

”Elder, I won’t be impulsive anymore.”

”Good, prepare well for the training. The future of our Ancient God Sect depends on you.”

”I won’t let you down.”

Su Chen calmed down, and his Heart-Nature changed.

Although the Ancient God Sect Elder’s heart ached, he was still very pleased, as a promising talent remained.

Those deceased Disciples should be able to motivate Su Chen well.

He had a long, earnest talk with Su Chen throughout the night, giving him his cultivation experience books and urging him to cultivate, telling him he could ask him anytime if he didn’t understand.

Su Chen’s heart warmed. The Elder cared for him so much, he had no way to repay him.

He secretly resolved to win first place in the training and restore the Ancient God Sect to its former glory.

Most importantly, he would annihilate the Underworld Dao Sect to comfort the souls of his fellow Disciples in heaven.

...

...

Xiao Fan, Ning Bing, and Xiao Fang came out and happened to witness the dispute between Su Chen and the Underworld Dao Sect.

He watched silently, thinking, ”As expected of the Child of Destiny.”

”It’s either sacrificing his entire family or the death of his fellow Disciples. What a difficult fate.”

”If such a good Elder were to die, Su Chen would probably go crazy.”
