I, the Destined Villain, Start by Controlling the Saint

The rift between siblings leads to a shockMiao Xiaoqing, in her capacity as a Saint, summoned all the Elders, saying that the Dean had an important announcement.

Elders who were in seclusion, those who were out.

And those who had forcefully ended their Dual Cultivation halfway through, all rushed over.

They were still puzzled as to why so many people were needed for whatever matter it was.

However, as soon as they arrived, they were forcibly restrained.

Some Elders strongly resisted and were immediately harvested, their heads rolling.

The remaining people were silent, not daring to utter a sound.

Xiao Fan didn’t care; he forcefully extracted a wisp of their life soul, stating that crushing it would result in death, using this to ensure their loyalty.

They had no possibility of resisting and could only be forced to accept.

Xiao Fan, in a display of great mercy, only killed seventy percent, leaving thirty percent of the Elders.

The operation of the Sacred Institute relied on these thirty percent of Elders; otherwise, it would cease to function.

Even so, they had to be grateful, kowtowing and prostrating themselves, thanking him for sparing their lives.

These people, bearing the title of Sacred Institute Elder, walked freely in the Eternal Immortal Domain, and everyone they met treated them with utmost respect, holding them in high regard.

Unlike now, they were all like servants, bowing before Xiao Fan.

Watching these Elders beg for mercy, Xiao Fan finally experienced the taste of power.

The dragon-slaying youth would not become a devil, because a devil was already hidden in his heart, and the devil merely obtained the power it deserved.

Besides, I am inherently a villain; there’s no need for so many twists and turns.

Crush them!

Xiao Fan set rules for them.

”From today onwards, all matters of the Sacred Institute shall be handled by the Saint.”

He reached out and pulled Miao Xiaoqing into his embrace, setting the tone for her.

Presumably, if these people were sensible, they would know who the Revered Master of the Sacred Institute would be from now on.

As expected, the surviving Elders immediately pledged allegiance to Miao Xiaoqing.

Miao Xiaoqing was incredibly excited; she now held great power under the title of Saint, already the Dean!

”Revered Master, thank you.”

Xiao Fan rubbed her head, saying nothing, simply petting a cat.

Dragon Ningbing also returned at this time.

”How is it? Have you chosen a location?”

”Yes, there’s a range of mountains to the south, with high waterfalls and gurgling streams, suitable for building a floating Immortal Palace.”

”Good.”

Xiao Fan issued orders to these Elders, instructing them to build a temporary palace for him.

Not only did they have no objections, but they even vied with each other to undertake the task, fearing to fall behind.

”You choose it.”, Xiao Fan said to Miao Xiaoqing.

”Thank you, Revered Master.”

At this moment, Xiao Fan had completely taken control of the Eternal Immortal Domain.

There was no special feeling; this invisible increase in power didn’t bring him much pleasure.

It was far less enjoyable than spending time with his women.

...

...

Reincarnation Immortal Domain, Lin Family.

Originally, it was impossible for Lin Yu to return to the Lin Family and take control of its power.

But Lin Yu’s seven Revered Masters emerged from seclusion, standing behind him as his backing.

Although the Lin Family was strong, it wasn’t strong enough to contend with seven Hunyuan Cultivators.

The Ancestor of Lin Family saw that those seven Hunyuan old men held Lin Yu in extremely high regard, treating him as their own.

He was a smart man and immediately stepped forward to draw closer to Lin Yu, using blood kinship to bind him.

The Ancestor of Lin Family said with a benevolent expression:

”Lin Yu, speaking of which, you are also my eighty-ninth generation grandson. As fellow members of the Lin Family, let all the past fade away. We should prioritize harmony and not engage in internal strife.”

”I believe your father’s spirit in heaven would not want to see internal chaos in the Lin Family, which would harm our clan’s Foundation.”

Lin Yu, of course, refused. He said, ”The hatred for my father’s murder is irreconcilable. I must personally kill my enemies! I will use their blood to honor my parents’ spirits in heaven.”

The Ancestor of Lin Family did not argue with him, but instead played the victim, saying:

”Alas, when will vengeance end? You are all my Bloodline; it pains me to see any of you hurt.”

”How about this? I will appoint you as the Lin Family’s Heir. Once you achieve the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, I will let you manage the Lin Family and become its Patriarch. What do you think?”

”As long as you agree, I will immediately issue the order.”

Lin Yu hesitated for a moment. Become the Lin Family’s Heir?

Seeing this, the Ancestor of Lin Family extended his hand and, from a distance, brought all those who had originally killed Lin Yu’s parents, seized his Immortal Bone, and his accompanying Immortal Artifact, before him.

”Now, apologize to Lin Yu.”

”I don’t want to interfere. Your lives and deaths are up to Lin Yu’s decision.”

Upon seeing this, those people immediately knelt and begged for mercy, pleading with Lin Yu to spare them.

”Lin Yu, I am your second uncle! I was possessed at the time, I was confused. We are all family; please spare me.”

”Lin Yu, I am your cousin! We used to train together when we were little, don’t you remember? I’ve kept your Immortal Bone safe and sound, just waiting to transplant it back to you. Here, take it.”

”As long as you spare my life, I will be at your beck and call for the rest of my days, without complaint.”

”...”

Lin Yu looked at the faces that were once high and mighty, but now wagging their tails in supplication, and his expression turned cold.

However, he didn’t seem to want to completely break ties, as he still had to be the Heir later.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Yu said, ”I will only execute the main culprits; the others may leave.”

With that, he executed the people who had killed his parents.

He killed half and spared half.

Lin Yu felt that killing a few to warn the rest was enough to deter the petty villains.

Considering they were all members of the Lin Family, he showed some mercy, and he presumed they would remember his kindness.

If you cut the grass but don’t remove the roots, it will grow back with the spring breeze.

Lin Yu had executed the main culprits, but he had not eliminated the factions behind these people, and the seeds of hatred still existed.

Although they didn’t show it, they hated Lin Yu more than ever.

”Father, I will personally kill Lin Yu to avenge you.”, the survivors thought to themselves.

The Ancestor of Lin Family smiled and said, ”Lin Yu, with your ability to consider the bigger picture, the Lin Family will surely prosper under your leadership.”

”From today onwards, you are the Lin Family’s Heir, the future Patriarch of the Lin Family!”

All the people present in the Lin Family knelt down and bowed to Lin Yu.

In the past, these people had all mocked him, not a single one looked up to him.

Now, they had to bow before him. Lin Yu felt as if his life had reached its peak.

He had brought glory to his ancestors!

”Rise.”

Lin Yu displayed the demeanor of an Heir, speaking to those people.

The Ancestor of Lin Family showed unprecedented affection, pulling Lin Yu into an all-night conversation, saying he had failed him and was busy with cultivation at the time, unable to prevent the tragedy.

Otherwise, Lin Yu would not have become an orphan.

His words were sincere, his voice mournful, as if he wished he had been the one to suffer the catastrophe.

Lin Yu felt that he was being valued, and the long-lost blood kinship stirred within him.

He secretly vowed in his heart that he would make the Lin Family strong and stand at the peak of the Reincarnation Immortal Domain.

After handling the Lin Family’s affairs, Lin Yu made time to search for Lin Ningqin and his aunt, Hua Yinyin.

He wanted to bring them back to the Lin Family, so they would no longer have to wander around, fleeing for their lives, and could enjoy the stability and comfort he provided them.

When Lin Yu found the two women, he discovered that their cultivation had greatly increased.

Lin Ningqin was already at the Earth Immortal Late Stage, about to enter the Profound Immortal realm.

Hua Yinyin was even stronger, just one step away from becoming a Golden Immortal.

The two women’s appearances and figures became even more Advanced, and a pure and ethereal aura radiated from within them.

However, he didn’t feel happy, because he knew this was due to Xiao Fan’s two drops of Three Lights Divine Water.

Lin Yu said to the two, ”Aunt, Ningqin, I’ve come to take you home.”

”Home?”

Lin Yu explained, ”Yes, home.”

He told them about having seven Hunyuan Revered Masters to assist him, gaining the Old Ancestor’s favor, and becoming the Lin Family’s Heir.

Lin Ningqin was also genuinely happy for him, after all, he was her blood-related Elder brother, and there was no lingering animosity.

”Brother, you said you have seven Hunyuan Revered Masters and became the Heir. Does that mean all those enemies have been personally killed by you?”

”You’ve avenged father and mother, right?”, Lin Ningqin said excitedly, sobbing silently.

The revenge she thought was distant and endless had finally received a response.

Lin Yu smiled and nodded, saying, ”The main culprits who killed our father and mother have been executed by me, one by one.”

”We’ve been avenged.”

Main culprits!?

Lin Ningqin’s excited face stiffened slightly.

She looked at Lin Yu in confusion and said, ”Brother, what are you saying? Can you say it again?”

She thought she had misheard.

Lin Yu reiterated, saying, ”I have executed the main culprits of the past, one by one.”

Lin Ningqin’s face was full of disbelief. Only the main culprits?

”Brother, what are you doing!”

”Why didn’t you kill their entire families?”

”Do you know? When they were chasing us, they even wanted to kill Aunt. Everyone connected to us was killed.”

”Servants, friends, even forces friendly with our parents, all suffered attacks.”

”They didn’t consider blood kinship when they chased us.”, Lin Ningqin said bitterly.

Her small fists were tightly clenched, and her tone was full of killing intent.

Lin Yu said earnestly, ”Ningqin, don’t act impulsively.”

”I have already become the Heir, and we are all one family. If I indiscriminately kill innocent people, how will others view me? I don’t have enough prestige yet, so I can’t kill recklessly.”

”Besides, they already know their mistake. As the Heir, I must consider the bigger picture.”

”You can understand me, right?”, Lin Yu said with a smile.

He stepped forward, wanting to hold Lin Ningqin’s hand.

But Lin Ningqin slapped his hand away and cursed, ”Get lost!”

”I hate that kind of talk from you the most. Considering the bigger picture, considering the bigger picture.”

”Did they consider the bigger picture when they chased us? Did they consider blood kinship when father and mother were killed?”

”Why is it that they could kill us as they pleased, but we have to consider so much when we kill them? I don’t care, I just want them dead.”

”Everyone related to them, I want to kill every single one, leaving no one behind!”, Lin Ningqin shouted in a tender voice, her attitude resolute.

”Ningqin, if they are not benevolent, we cannot be unjust. Simply killing people won’t solve the problem.”

”Who said it can’t solve the problem? Kill them all, and the problem ceases to exist.”, Hua Yinyin stepped forward and said.

She couldn’t understand why Lin Yu didn’t grasp the principle of cutting the grass by the roots.

Must he wait until those people harm her and Ningqin before he can grow and think of killing them all?

Oh, so he grows by stepping on their corpses, is that it?!

”Stop being so naive, alright?!”, Hua Yinyin reprimanded Lin Yu.

Lin Yu guessed that while he was being taught by his seven Revered Masters, Aunt Yinyin and Ningqin must have suffered a lot of fright, which was why they harbored killing intent towards the Lin Family.

He had to resolve the killing intent in their hearts.

”Aunt, Yinyin.”

”Such things will not happen again. I am the Lin Family’s Heir, and I can completely protect you and give you a better life.”

Lin Ningqin could no longer hold back. Her eyes reddened, and two streams of clear tears flowed down her beautiful eyes as she shouted emotionally:

”I’ll just ask you one thing: do you absolutely have to be this Lin Family Heir?”

”Have some ambition, alright? Don’t be naive. If you don’t kill them, they will kill us.”

Lin Yu felt that his sister was somewhat possessed. They were all family; why go to such extremes?

”Sister, let bygones be bygones. It won’t happen again, I promise you.”

”When will vengeance end? They already know their mistake. Let’s be magnanimous and forgive them.”, Lin Yu persuaded.

Lin Ningqin listened to his words, trembling with anger, her breathing quickened, and blood vessels appeared in her eyes.

She could no longer hold back and directly slapped Lin Yu hard across the face.

Slap, slap, right on the face!

Lin Ningqin cursed with an extremely hateful tone:

”Can you stop being so naive?”

”They don’t know they’re wrong; they’re just afraid of dying, that’s all.”

”You have seven Hunyuan Masters; can’t you just ask them to kill that hateful Lin Family?”

”The Lin Family is not our home! How long are you going to be naive!?”

Lin Yu was stunned by the slap. His usually gentle sister had actually laid hands on him and slapped him.

This was something that would have been impossible in the past.

He felt very wronged. He had sacrificed so much for his sister, why couldn’t she understand him?

Everything from the past resurfaced. This change all started from that person; it was that person who made his sister’s temperament change so drastically.

Lin Yu took a deep breath and said, ”You are my sister, and I have a responsibility to manage you.”

”Today, you must come with me.”

”Get lost! I don’t have a brother like you. I don’t want to go with you.”

The more Lin Ningqin resisted, the angrier Lin Yu became.

He felt as if he was losing his sister and might become a lonely person in the future.

Anger made him lose his reason, and he forcefully seized the two and took them back to the Lin Family, regardless of their protests.

...

...

During his leisure time at the Sacred Institute, Xiao Fan took out the Nine Luminaries Heavenly Emperor Cauldron.

He hadn’t forgotten the little girl in the cauldron.

However, she looked too young, and rescuing her wouldn’t be of much use, so he had ignored her.

Perhaps, he wanted to play a nurturing game.

He had already become a Saint, and it was effortless for him to revive the exquisitely carved, jade-like little girl with two pigtails who was sleeping in the cauldron.

Xiao Fan gently tapped, and the exquisite little girl, like a porcelain doll in the cauldron, flew out, delicate and graceful like a flower butterfly. Her small mouth was slightly open, exhaling, playful and cute.

Xiao Fan carefully sensed her, able to hear her heart beating. Her age also seemed to be sealed, only three years old.

”It’s actually a time freeze, a bit strange.”, Xiao Fan thought to himself.

He took out billions of Immortal Stones and supplied Immortal Qi to the girl in the cauldron, feeding her until she was plump and healthy.

It was truly billions; he had practically taken out all the Immortal Stones from his inventory.

”The Eternal Immortal King’s treasury, the Immortal Stone inventory snatched from the Killing God Sect, all gone.”

”That’s a bit exaggerated.”

The more this happened, the more curious Xiao Fan became: just who exactly are you?

He performed a secret technique, gradually lifting the time Seal.

Allowing her to awaken.

When the Seal was completely removed, Xiao Fan gently tapped her forehead.

The girl’s body reacted, her tiny eyelashes fluttered, and her eyelids slightly lifted.

Her small, delicate, jade-like hands, with baby fat, rubbed her eyes.

She raised her hands and stretched, yawning slightly with her mouth agape. The dazzling light made her unable to open her eyes for a moment. After gradually adapting, she dared to open her eyes.

Her bright, clear, big eyes curiously explored everything in the world, as if everything was so new.

When her gaze met Xiao Fan’s, a pure smile appeared on her face, and the girl childishly called out, ”Daddy.”

Xiao Fan found this little girl quite cute, but her first words made him a little uncomfortable.

What did you say?! I am very pure.

I’m definitely not the type of person who gets pregnant before marriage, so don’t slander me!
