The Villainous Eldest Senior Brother and His Yandere Junior Sisters

"Is it you!?"

"It's you again, you lousy system? Don't think I won't recognize you just because you changed your 'skin'!"

Hearing the prompt in his ear, Lin Xiao frowned coldly, a dark line appearing on his forehead.

That's right!

This artificial intelligence's voice was exactly the same as the previous 'Idle Antagonist System'!

DING!

"Host, you guessed correctly, it's me again!"

"Congratulations, Host! You have successfully awakened your true self and unlocked the true form of this system!"

"For more exciting content, please enter the system interface for details! Teehee."

This incredibly punchable voice made Lin Xiao's scalp tingle.

But at this point, he couldn't be bothered with it anymore.

He picked up Huaizhen, whose body was growing increasingly cold, and walked towards the edge of the arena.

"Huaizhen, Eldest Senior Brother... I'll take you home."

However, he hadn't taken more than a few steps when an indignant voice cried out—

"Lin Xiao must not be allowed to leave!"

A short, stout figure in a green Daoist robe suddenly flew before the arena, raising his arm and shouting, "Everyone just heard! My disciple, Ye Chen, already conceded! Yet Lin Xiao still forced him to his death! He has completely disregarded the rules set by the founder of Qinglan!"

"He shows no respect for the Sect Leader or the Supreme Elders present!"

"If Lin Xiao is not severely punished according to the rules today, in front of so many fellow members of the Righteous Path, the nearly ten-thousand-year reputation of our Qinglan Sect will be destroyed in an instant!"

The speaker was Ye Chen's Master, Daoist Yuanyi, Chairman of Tiandang Peak. His chubby face was flushed, then turned livid with uncontrollable anger.

"Chairman Yuanyi is right!"

"This Lin Xiao of Divine Phoenix Peak has acted audaciously, seriously violating the iron-clad rules passed down in our Qinglan Sect for thousands of years!"

"If he is not severely punished with his life for a life, I say our sect's Enforcement Hall might as well disband!"

"Sect Leader! Please uphold justice swiftly!"

"And Elder Xie of the Enforcement Hall, you should say something too!"

The Guest Elders present, who usually had good personal relations with Yuanyi, all spoke out in support.

However, True Master Ziyun looked hesitant, glancing with a troubled expression at Xiao Hongling, Chief of Divine Phoenix Peak, whose phoenix eyes were cold and who remained silently observing.

Everyone saw this and naturally understood his apprehension.

Who was this Fairy Hongling?

She was the true powerhouse of the Qinglan Sect, someone who believed in fists over reasoning!

Seeing this, the others promptly quieted down.

If neither the Sect Leader nor the Enforcement Hall speaks up, who the hell would want to make an enemy of this fiercely protective woman?

For a moment, everyone, including the Sect Leader, turned their gazes towards the several Supreme Elders seated high above.

"Everyone, please listen to this old man!"

"Even in the Secular World, there's a saying that the son of heaven is subject to the same laws as the common people! Regardless of whose chief disciple or disciple he is, he must be dealt with strictly!" a purple-bearded, red-whiskered Supreme Elder declared.

As soon as he spoke, several other Supreme Elders voiced their agreement.

"Well said!"

"Our Qinglan Sect, as the leader of the Righteous Path in the Eastern Region, should set an example today for all our righteous comrades—kill Lin Xiao! Cleanse the sect!"

Seeing the Supreme Elders take a stand, a barely perceptible smile touched Daoist Yuanyi's lips.

Yes, in his view, since Ye Chen had already used a letter to summon Queen Ye Xuan'er of the Northern Territory, this Beichuan Princely Heir was now worthless. In fact, the more tragic his death, the more it would incite Her Majesty the Queen to vent her anger upon the Qinglan Sect, providing assistance for the Demon Sect's future assault on the mountain! And this Lin Xiao, with his heaven-defying abilities and Sword Dao aptitude rivaling his Master's, must also be nipped in the bud! This truly is a plan to kill two birds with one stone!

The more Yuanyi thought about it, the more excited he became.

In an instant, he couldn't even be bothered to glance at Ye Chen, nor did he care about concealing his strength anymore. Unleashing the full might of his True Power at the half-step Divine Transformation realm, he struck out at Lin Xiao with a palm!

This palm strike—

He was confident that among the five Chairmen, none but *that woman* could block it!

However—

She... still came!

BANG!

Terrifying Sword Qi surged through the void, directly congealing his palm momentum, halting it completely!

The next moment—

SWISH.

A woman in a red Phoenix Skirt, wielding an entirely jade-green Immortal Sword, her expression indifferent, delivered a swift slash!

Her sword strike, though seemingly casual and unremarkable, possessed world-shocking power!

SWISH!

As the incomparably sharp sword edge passed, terrifying Sword Qi erupted, directly pulverizing the Scouring Demon Stones around the arena!

At this moment, the entire audience, including the dozen or so aloof Supreme Elders, was utterly stunned!

"Junior Sister Hongling, don't be rash! That wasn't my meaning!"

Yuanyi gritted his teeth and immediately withdrew, conceding!

He'd been lurking in the Qinglan Sect for over two hundred years, and this was the first time he'd seen Xiao Hongling so furious. How could he dare to face her head-on?

Forget it. This woman is so arrogant and domineering. Once the Blood Demon Ancestor breaks the seal, I'll have him teach her a proper lesson!

Clenching his teeth inwardly, his figure flashed backward with all his might. He even deployed his Lifebound artifact, barely managing to escape the sword strike!

Xiao Hongling glanced at him with disdain in her phoenix eyes but didn't bother to pursue. Sheathing her sword, she looked towards the eighteen Supreme Elders seated high in the clouds, their auras powerful and unmatched. "Venerable Elders, my disciple Lin Xiao acted impulsively today and broke the rules of the tournament. I will take him back to the mountain and discipline him properly. Please, grant me, Xiao Hongling, some face and do not pursue this matter further. Otherwise—"

Her phoenix eyes suddenly turned icy. "You will all witness the most terrifying side of me in this mortal realm!"

Her tone was light, almost flat.

Yet, an unparalleled, domineering aura swept out, causing heaven and earth to change color!

Instantly, the True Martial Plaza, with its nearly one hundred thousand people, fell deathly silent!

No one dared to utter a word of protest!

At this moment, the dozen or so Supreme Elders, their expressions initially solemn and inscrutable, now looked flustered. They turned one after another towards a woman with a powerful aura, cradling a simple zither.

"Music Sage Venerable! Chief Xiao is completely disregarding the Qinglan Sect's rules and acting wantonly! Please, intervene and uphold justice!"

"Yes, Venerable! For over two hundred years, Chief Xiao has done as she pleases, breaking the sect rules more than once or twice! If we continue to let her... Ai!"

"Moreover, she said she would take Lin Xiao back to the mountain for punishment. Isn't that just a slap on the wrist? It's completely unfair to Ye Chen of Tiandang Peak!"

"Not only that, she's asking us seniors to give face to her, a junior! Is Xiao Hongling's face really that valuable?"

"Outrageous! The Six Holy Beings must act!"

The eighteen Supreme Elders, one after another, directed the pressure towards Dantai Qingyin.

"My apologies, everyone."

Dantai Qingyin sighed softly. "The leader of the Six Holy Beings, True Monarch Taiwu, has recently told us one thing more than any other..."

"...the great calamity of Qinglan is approaching. You must all do everything in your power to appease Chief Xiao and absolutely must not allow her to leave the mountain. Therefore, this 'face' she asks for..."

"...we must give it."

"..."

As these words fell, the entire assembly was stunned into silence.

"Master, I..."

Seeing his beautiful Master defy all the elders for his sake, Lin Xiao's heart couldn't help but ache with emotion.

Lin Xiao, oh Lin Xiao, you ungrateful wretch! This woman raised you, nurtured you, treated you with boundless kindness. If you had truly ascended to immortality and left, you would have regretted it for the rest of your life!

"There, there. No need to say more."

Xiao Hongling glanced at her disciple, her majestic phoenix eyes instantly softening. "Take your Junior Brother back to the mountain."

"Yes, Master."

Lin Xiao nodded firmly. He had taken only a few steps when a gentle female voice called out, "Wait."

"What is it, Master?"

Lin Xiao looked at the tall, beautiful figure.

"Don't be too heartbroken. If you grieve too much and harm your health..."

"Mm, your Master will worry."

Xiao Hongling gazed at her beloved disciple, her crystal-clear phoenix eyes shimmering faintly, her tone softer than he had ever heard.

"Your disciple understands... Please don't worry, Master."

Looking at this woman before him, who was gentle only for him, Lin Xiao's heart trembled violently.

Numerous memories flooded his mind!

Ever since he was young, no matter what happened, she would always appear before him, shielding him from the wind and rain!

Such a woman... and I actually thought of abandoning her! I'm no better than an animal!

Master, since your disciple has chosen to stay, I will definitely protect everyone on Divine Phoenix Peak!

Lin Xiao silently vowed in his heart.

Carrying Huaizhen's body, he descended the arena. He hadn't gone far

when three of his junior sisters rushed over, their faces etched with anxiety.

And running ahead of them...

...was none other than Zhao Qingdie, the Princess of the Nanzhao Kingdom, with her green hair ribbon, looking as delicate and lively as a forest sprite!

"Big Brother! Your little Junior Brother... I... Our Nanzhao Kingdom's Nuwa Secret Art... perhaps we can try to save him!"
