The Villainous Eldest Senior Brother and His Yandere Junior Sisters-Chapter 350 - 163. Xiao’er, you want Master to step on you! That’s not allowed!_1
Good heavens, why has Ye Chen’s fortune dipped so dramatically? Lin Xiao wondered. Could he have gone somewhere to court danger again?
The system’s reward notification left Lin Xiao with a perplexed expression.
Just then, True Master Ziyun strode toward him, his face full of excitement. "Martial Nephew Lin, you have made a great contribution this time by eliminating Yuanyi, the Demon Sect’s internal traitor! Without your discerning eyes, if you hadn’t spotted his treachery, our Qinglan Sect would certainly have faced disaster!"
Lin Xiao hurriedly shook his head. "No, no, surely the Sect Leader could see through it too? Yuanyi was concealing his tremendous strength and wouldn’t have willingly met his end if my Master hadn’t stepped in."
Hearing this, True Master Ziyun and Chairman Chisong shared a glance, their eyes reflecting a hint of shame. Indeed, Lin Xiao had put it rather mildly! Yuanyi not only possessed a mid-stage Divine Transformation cultivation level but also the direct Demonic Techniques of the Sky Yin Blood Demon. Had Fairy Hongling not intervened to crush his fighting spirit, if they had truly fought... even if they had luckily won after a life-or-death duel involving two Divine Transformation cultivators and one Nascent Soul expert, they might have caused the Spiritual Energy to run amok, potentially demolishing the entire Sect Leader’s Hall!
"Sister Hongling, with you at the helm of our generation in the Qinglan Sect, we are truly blessed by heavens," True Master Ziyun lamented.
Even Chairman Chisong, who stood nearby—known for his defiant nature and having revered only his Senior Brother, the Sect Leader, his entire life—gave a sincere thumbs up. "Sister Hongling," he said, "in this life, I, Chisong, acknowledge no one’s superiority but yours and our Sect Leader’s! You are truly worthy of being called the foremost cultivator in the Eastern Region’s Cultivation World in recent ages!"
As her two martial seniors lauded her, the tall and stunningly beautiful woman merely turned her gentle gaze toward her beloved disciple. "My two Martial Brothers, my disciple was merely being modest just now. The takedown of the imposter Yuanyi was entirely orchestrated by him alone. How could anyone else claim credit?"
"Master, you praise me too highly!" Lin Xiao quickly replied. "Without your years of guidance, how could I have honed such keen discernment to see through the imposter Yuanyi’s identity at a glance?"
Afterward, the master and disciple shared a meaningful glance, engaging in a round of mutual praise.
True Master Ziyun and Chairman Chisong, standing to the side, sensed a somewhat delicate atmosphere between the master and disciple but felt it would be inappropriate to interrupt.
After all... their own relationship was also rather subtle...
"Sect Leader Uncle," Lin Xiao said after a round of affectionate praise for his Master. He then turned to True Master Ziyun. "Now that the internal traitor has been eliminated, it’s time for us to shift from defense to offense. I’m sure you’re aware that over these past two hundred years, the forces of the Righteous Path have appeared tranquil on the surface, but dark undercurrents have been constantly surging. The Demons’ ambition to destroy us has never died."
"Martial Nephew Lin is correct," True Master Ziyun sighed softly, his expression gradually growing solemn. "Very well, at this point, there’s no need for me to hide anything further. As Yuanyi himself confessed, behind him stands a peerless great fiend. This fiend’s title is the ’Sky Yin Blood Demon,’ a demonic prodigy rarely seen even in ten thousand years. Three thousand years ago, after this individual burst onto the scene, he slaughtered members of the Righteous Path and rampaged across the Central Land. At that time, the forces of the Righteous Path were in constant peril. Ultimately, it was a Saintess from the Cihang Sword Sect who sacrificed herself, feigning affection to ensnare him in a trap. Subsequently, the four major orthodox sects joined forces and finally sealed him within our Qinglan Sect’s forbidden grounds—the Coiling Dragon Abyss."
After speaking, he looked toward Xiao Hongling. "Sister Hongling, during your last trip to Mount Taicang, you should have learned from the Five Sages about True Monarch Taiwu’s passing, correct?"
"Yes," Xiao Hongling confirmed. "True Monarch Taiwu apparently... left a final command, instructing me to remain in Qinglan after his passing until... the arrival of the great calamity."
Xiao Hongling raised an eyebrow. "Judging by the current situation, could the ’great calamity’ True Monarch Taiwu spoke of be this affair concerning the Sky Yin Blood Demon? Has the seal on this fiend loosened?"
"Precisely," True Master Ziyun stated. "In fact, the seal on this fiend began to loosen three thousand years ago. Throughout these years, True Monarch Taiwu has been forcibly suppressing it at the cost of his own vital essence. Now, with True Monarch Taiwu’s ascension, this fiend, I’m afraid... is about to see daylight again. Clearly, Yuanyi was able to rally the already fragmented Eight Great Demon Sects by invoking this fiend’s name. Therefore, what we must do now is not only eliminate the Sky Yin Blood Demon, who is on the verge of breaking free from his seal, but also..."
When he finished speaking, even the usually aloof and proud Fairy Hongling wore a solemn expression. Indeed, although she was currently invincible in the Eastern Region, the Sky Yin Blood Demon’s infamous name had resounded throughout the entire Divine Continent three thousand years prior. He was a figure whose deeds were recorded in the annals of the Cultivation World. If this fiend were to recover his peak cultivation level, his strength would likely be no less than her own.
"AHEM, AHEM..."
Just as the atmosphere grew heavy, a light cough broke the silence. The three turned to see the strikingly handsome young man, dressed in snow-white robes. A confident, knowing smile played on his lips.
"Ah, the three seniors need not worry," Lin Xiao said, stepping forward with an air of nonchalance. "I have a plan that can annihilate the Eight Great Demon Sects with minimal cost, without shedding a drop of blood!"
In fact, he had been itching to speak up for a while now! Knowing the original plot, listening to True Master Ziyun drone on and on felt like watching a tedious, unskippable cutscene!
"Martial Nephew Lin, you... What brilliant insight do you possess?" True Master Ziyun and Chairman Chisong asked in unison, both looking at the young man with surprise.
