Killing Spree! The Reborn Villain Crushes the Prestigious Clans! - Chapter 20:

Chapter 20: Having Several Confidantes Is Only Natural!

“Understood!” Qiyue responded swiftly with joy in her heart, then immediately headed to Li Qingxuan’s Immortal Estate. She easily broke the restriction Li Qingxuan had left behind and cleared out all of her belongings.

Next, she brought Jiang Yue over and personally set up a new restriction on the estate. This restriction allowed only Jiang Yue to enter—Qiyue herself couldn’t, unless someone violently broke the restriction.

When Jiang Yue arrived at the Immortal Estate, she was still in a daze. After all, among the younger generation of the Jiang Clan, only the Divine Son was qualified to have an Immortal Estate. Even the estate Li Qingxuan had stayed in was specially granted by Jiang Wang.

And now she had her own Immortal Estate?

Jiang Yue felt like it wasn’t real. She pinched her thigh—ouch, it hurt. This wasn’t a dream.

Qiyue said calmly, “The Divine Son instructed that since Li Qingxuan took too many Cultivation Resources from you in the past, this Immortal Estate is your compensation. There’s a small world inside where spiritual plants needed for your cultivation have already been planted.”

Jiang Yue was stunned. Over the years, she had indeed lost a considerable amount of Cultivation Resources, but not nearly enough to equal the value of this Immortal Estate. Especially since Jiang Wang had already gifted her an Immortal Bone not long ago, more than making up for what she’d lost.

Although it was said to be compensation, Jiang Yue knew clearly—this was a gift from Jiang Wang.

“Senior, please help me thank the Divine Son,” Jiang Yue said, full of emotion.

Qiyue nodded slightly. She had no issue with being addressed as “senior.” In front of the Divine Son, she was a protector. But in his absence, she was still a Supreme Realm cultivator—she deserved to be called senior by a younger member of the Jiang Clan.

After personally witnessing Jiang Yue settle into the Immortal Estate, Qiyue turned and left to report back.

When Jiang Wang heard that Jiang Yue had moved into the Immortal Estate, he nodded slightly, then turned back to his own estate to continue cultivating.

Several days passed in a flash. While Jiang Wang was cultivating, a voice suddenly echoed from the void—it was his father, Jiang Xundao.

“Boy, if you hear me, get ready and come to the main hall.”

Exhaling a breath of turbid Qi, Jiang Wang straightened his robe and stepped out of the Immortal Estate, instantly arriving outside the Jiang Clan’s main hall.

Inside, he immediately saw Jiang Xundao, looking warm and kind, chatting with a young woman. Sensing his arrival, both of them turned toward the entrance.

Only then did Jiang Wang see her face—Shen Ruyan!

She wore a white robe, her expression cold and composed, her aura sharp and unmatched. Sword intent swirled around her. This was none other than Shen Ruyan, the top disciple of the Myriad Sword Immortal Sect.

Seeing her, Jiang Wang already had a rough idea of what his father was planning.

He took a deep breath. So be it. Reborn, he should live freely. He was destined to be invincible—having several confidantes was only natural!

With that thought clear, he looked over at Shen Ruyan.

Her long white robe was fastened at the waist by a jade belt, highlighting her slim figure. Looking higher… still budding, but quite adorable.

Shen Ruyan seemed to notice his gaze and a faint blush crept up her cheeks. She shifted her body slightly, pretending not to notice.

Jiang Wang withdrew his gaze.

If not for Luo Qingqiu, Shen Ruyan—with her identity, status, Talent, and strength—would be the most suitable person to be his Dao companion.

Although she currently only possessed a Sword Dao Immortal Bone, Jiang Wang, having lived through a previous life, knew well—one day, a mysterious Sword Tomb would emerge in the Immortal Domain.

Within the tomb was boundless sword intent. Many prodigies who entered seeking fortune were severely wounded by the sword Qi.

Only Shen Ruyan had the qualifications to enter that place.

After leaving the tomb, she would awaken the Supreme Sword Body, causing countless immortal swords to resonate in unison.

From then on, she would be honored as the Little Sword Immortal.

Whether she gained other fortuitous encounters inside the tomb was uncertain.

Still, with such astonishing Talent, wasn’t Shen Ruyan a Child of Destiny?

[Ding! Responding to host. Shen Ruyan will only become a Daughter of Destiny after awakening the Supreme Sword Body and inheriting the legacy of the Sword Dao Saint.]

So that’s how it is.

Jiang Wang thought to himself, even that dumb brute Ye Fan was a Child of Destiny—how could someone as extraordinary as Shen Ruyan not be?

Another thought crossed his mind. “System, is Luo Qingqiu a Daughter of Destiny?”

[Ding! She is not.]

Jiang Wang was slightly stunned. Luo Qingqiu’s Talent was unmatched in this era—few could compare. Yet she wasn’t considered a Daughter of Destiny?

As if reading his doubt, the system offered an explanation.

[Children of Destiny are those blessed with deep fortune and favored by the Dao. Luo Qingqiu was born possessing everything. The treasures and fortunes that others seek are already commonplace for her. How can she be considered a Child of Destiny?]

Jiang Wang: “…”

So she was simply so powerful that even the status of Daughter of Destiny didn’t suit her?

Shen Ruyan had already composed herself. She stood up and cupped her hands slightly. “Greetings, Divine Son of Immortality.”

Jiang Wang stopped overthinking and gestured for her to dispense with formalities. Then he turned to Jiang Xundao. “Father, you summoned me. What’s the matter?”

Jiang Xundao looked at his son, whose aura was growing more fierce by the day, and revealed a look of satisfaction.

He said, “Son, did you forget? The Beast Hunt Assembly organized by various factions of the Immortal Domain is about to begin.”

Jiang Wang paused. In his previous life, after the Jiang Clan’s destruction, he had survived in the Divine Domain for a thousand years with Chu Yunwan’s help before being reborn. His memories of the current time were vague.

But hearing the words “Beast Hunt Assembly,” a faint recollection surfaced.

This event involved various factions sending their young prodigies into an ancient ruin filled with Primordial Ferocious Beasts.

The team that hunted the most beasts would receive the treasured Thunder Pool Liquid found only within the ruins.

This liquid was a rare treasure, effective for body tempering and cultivating lightning-based Techniques. It was so valuable because only a small pool formed every 100 years.

Back when Jiang Wang was reborn, he had already decided to cultivate both body and spiritual Qi, so naturally, the Thunder Pool Liquid was something he had to obtain.

Seeing Jiang Wang’s expression, Jiang Xundao knew he had remembered. He continued, “The competition is done in teams of two. Originally, you were to team up with that girl from the Li Clan.”

“But now, I’ve already made arrangements with the sect master of the Myriad Sword Immortal Sect. You’ll team up with Shen Ruyan instead. Her strength is solid—unlike that girl from the Li Clan, who would only drag you down.”

Jiang Xundao’s tone was firm, leaving no room for argument.

“…I obey.” Jiang Wang thought for a moment and agreed.

Jiang Xundao finally smiled and waved his hand. “Good. That’s all you need to know.”

Then he looked at Shen Ruyan. “Ruyan, why don’t you stay at the Jiang Clan for now?”

Shen Ruyan was momentarily startled and instinctively glanced at Jiang Wang. Then she gently declined, “That won’t be necessary, Uncle Jiang. The ancient ruin is quite close to the Myriad Sword Immortal Sect.”

Jiang Xundao didn’t press the issue. He nodded and ordered a Supreme Realm expert to escort her back to the sect.

After handling everything, he turned back to Jiang Wang. “Son, in the coming days, focus on your cultivation. If you lack any Cultivation Resources, just go to the Treasure Vault and take what you need.”

“I’ve already given orders. You may now access the top level of the Jiang Clan’s Treasure Vault at any time.”
