The Villain Plundered the Children of Destiny’s Luck - Chapter 2:

Chapter 2: The Great Fortunate One, Ye Tian

“Rumble!” The stone door of the training chamber slowly rose with the sound of gears turning. Qin Xiao stepped out with a radiant expression, an invisible aura of dominance emanating from his body as he moved.

“The old patriarch has come out of seclusion!”

As soon as Qin Xiao emerged, a group of people rushed toward him. Leading them was a tall man, over two meters in height, dressed in a gray martial robe. He had a short beard, an ordinary face, and was about fifty years old. His every step carried an aura of decisiveness and killing intent. This man was Qin Xiao’s son, the current patriarch of the Qin Family, Qin Zhan.

Beside him stood a middle-aged man in a green robe, around forty years old, with features similar to Qin Zhan’s—Qin Xiao’s second son, Qin Long. Behind them followed a group of Qin clansmen and Qin Xiao’s grandchildren.

The Qin Family was one of the great clans in Lingfeng City, with many members. Qin Xiao himself had two sons and seven grandchildren.

Qin Zhan said in shock, “Father! You’ve come out… Wait! You broke through to the 1st stage Innate Realm!” His father now looked twenty years younger, and the aura he radiated was so terrifying that Qin Zhan instinctively felt fear.

Qin Xiao only nodded lightly.

The Qin clansmen were stunned at first, but soon they were overjoyed. For Qin Xiao to break through to the Innate Realm at his age was something none of them had ever expected. They had never dared to hope for it.

Now that Qin Xiao had suddenly advanced, it was a great surprise. After all, this was the Innate Realm. In the entire Lingfeng City, not a single Innate Realm martial artist existed. With Qin Xiao’s breakthrough, the Qin Family could instantly become the absolute ruler of Lingfeng City, suppressing the Ye and Yang families with ease.

Qin Zhan was thrilled and quickly said, “Congratulations, Father! You’ve broken through to the Innate Realm, advancing further on the martial path!”

The others also came to their senses and quickly followed. “Congratulations, old patriarch, for breaking through to the Innate Realm!” “Congratulations, grandfather, for breaking through to the Innate Realm!”

Qin Xiao smiled as he accepted their congratulations. He was also extremely pleased. This breakthrough not only elevated his strength but also extended his lifespan by sixty years. Who wouldn’t be happy to gain another sixty years of life?

After some time conversing with his family, Qin Xiao dismissed them and returned alone to his room.

That night, Lingfeng City was shaken. News of Qin Xiao’s breakthrough spread quickly, sending ripples through every corner of the city. For the various forces, fear and unease filled their hearts. They understood what an Innate Realm martial artist represented. Even in a commandery city, such a person could dominate a region, let alone in this small Lingfeng City.

In the rear courtyard of the Yang Family, Yang Haoyu, the old patriarch, was stunned when he heard the news. “What? That old dog Qin Xiao broke through to the Innate Realm? How is that possible?”

Yang Haoyu and Qin Xiao were of the same generation and had been rivals since their youth. Their talents had been about equal, though Qin Xiao was two years older. His vitality should have long since declined, making a breakthrough impossible. Yet now, his son was reporting that Qin Xiao had advanced. How could he not be shocked?

His son, Yang Tianchuan, the current head of the Yang Family, said with a bitter smile, “Father, it’s true. The Qin Family members saw it with their own eyes. There’s no way it’s fake.”

Yang Tianchuan then asked, “Father, what should we do now?” The relationship between the Yang and Qin families was anything but friendly. Though not to the extent of mortal enemies, conflicts and friction were constant. Now that Qin Xiao had advanced, the Yang Family’s situation was dire.

Yang Haoyu thought for a moment before speaking, “Send Hao’er and the younger generation out of Lingfeng City first.” Their Yang Family had been rooted in Lingfeng City for over a hundred years. Unless absolutely necessary, they would not abandon their foundation.

Yang Tianchuan sighed. “For now, that’s the only option…”

Meanwhile, in the Ye Family, a burly middle-aged man in a blue martial robe, his face fierce and broad, hurried into the discussion hall. “Big Brother! Just received news—Qin Xiao, that old fox, has broken through to the Innate Realm!”

The man sitting at the head was Ye Long, a refined-looking middle-aged man in white robes. He stood up abruptly, grabbing his brother’s arm. “What? Third Brother, are you certain?”

Ye Bao, the burly man, replied, “I’m certain. The news came straight from the Qin Family. It can’t be fake!”

Ye Long fell silent, his expression dark. He trusted Ye Bao’s words.

The others in the hall grew uneasy. As one of the three great families of Lingfeng City, the Ye Family had always clashed with the Qin Family. Although the Qin Family was stronger, the Ye Family and Yang Family had worked together to maintain a strange balance of power.

But now, with Qin Xiao’s breakthrough, the balance was shattered. The Qin Family had become the dominant power. The Ye Family could only feel dread about what would come next.

Ye Long sighed deeply. “For now, we can only watch and see how the Qin Family acts. If it becomes unbearable, we may have no choice but to leave Lingfeng City.”

Back in the Qin Family’s luxurious chamber, Qin Xiao sat in front of a glowing panel.

Chaotic Scripture. Feathered Immortal Scripture. Void Emperor Scripture. Heaven-Earth Sacred Scripture. Yin-Yang Harmony Scripture. Chaotic Body. Supreme Holy Body. Yin-Yang Spiritual Body. Emperor Breaking Pill. Heaven-Mending Pill… Innate Pill: 1,500.

Qin Xiao’s mouth watered as he looked at the Fortune Plundering System’s store. It contained everything imaginable—scriptures, techniques, physiques, and rare pills. Anything he could think of could be bought here, provided he had enough Fortune Points.

He glanced at the 75 Fortune Points displayed on the panel and sighed. He still needed to earn more.

Qin Xiao commanded in his heart, “System, spend 50 Fortune Points and check if there are any great fortunate ones nearby!”

[Understood, host!]

A minute later, the system replied, [Host, after checking, 30 kilometers to the left there is one bearing great fortune. Information: Ye Tian, 12 years old, 2nd stage Body Tempering Realm.]

Qin Xiao’s eyes lit up with excitement. “Only 2nd stage Body Tempering Realm? If I kill him, won’t I obtain his Fortune Points?” This was perfect. If the opponent had been too strong, he would have had no chance. But a mere 2nd stage Body Tempering Realm was nothing more than a gift.

The system immediately warned, [Ding! Host’s thought is dangerous. Every Child of Destiny carries immense fortune. Even if you could kill them—which you likely cannot—you would not gain their fortune. Instead, fortune would turn against you, bringing endless misfortune.]
