The Villainous Eldest Senior Brother and His Yandere Junior Sisters

When Lin Xiao once again laid this suppressed pain bare, the atmosphere at the scene gradually shifted from silence to outrage! Most of the Semi-Monsters invited here were men, and when the women of their clans were abducted, it was often the men who felt the deepest shame!

"Sigh, many things are actually quite clear to all of us..."

Just then, a sigh echoed from the high stage. The Evil Extreme Sect Leader had spoken, "Rest assured, everyone. Once we've eradicated the Righteous Path, I will plead with that mysterious senior to cease the annual sacrifice of beautiful women as Human Puppets!"

"Niu Batian! You can't distinguish between right and wrong, good and evil, yet you dare to lead us Semi-Monsters!" Lin Xiao roared. "It's the Demonic Cultivator disciples who are abducting our women, yet we're targeting the Righteous Path! Isn't that just handing the enemy a knife? Think about it! If the Righteous Path truly falls, would those insidious and cunning human Demonic Cultivators really honor their promise? Utterly foolish!"

These words struck like a sudden clap of thunder, silencing all voices in the venue! Even the notoriously short-tempered Niu Batian, after being furiously rebuked, wore a grave expression. Far from being angry, he seemed to be contemplating something.

"Sigh, Clan Leader Ji, in truth, we all understand these principles." Just then, a wizened voice spoke. It was the elderly Semi-Monster still wearing the iron bucket mask. "However, when we consider matters, we must not only distinguish right from wrong but also weigh the gains and losses."

"The Qinglan Sect, leader of the Eastern Region's Righteous Path, though they despise evil and take it upon themselves to eliminate demons and defend the righteous way, they also advocate for teaching without discrimination, believing the highest good is like water. In this conflict between the Righteous and Demonic paths, if our Semi-Monster race sides with the Righteous Path and we lose, we'll likely be annihilated by those Demonic Cultivators. Conversely, if we join the Demons' faction, even if we lose like in the first great war between good and evil, we can still manage to scrape by. This was also why the previous leader chose to join the Demons. To put it bluntly... when strengths are comparable, it's better to help the wicked than the virtuous."

After his explanation, the hearts of the crowd grew heavier, yet they found no way to argue.

Just then, that indignant and thought-provoking voice rang out again:

"What kind of damned twisted logic is that?!"

"Why should good people be ganged up on?"

Lin Xiao felt a surge of genuine anger and said coldly, "The cards are on the table! I'm done pretending! I am a disciple of the Qinglan Sect! I've come here this time not only to show you all a clear path but also to bring some small gifts!"

"Some of you friends present can now use your Communication Talismans to contact your families. See if the female relatives and friends who went missing back then have returned home safely!"

As soon as his words fell, the crowd erupted!

"What?!"

"You must be joking! My cousin has been missing for years! I've been searching for her tirelessly to no avail!"

"My wife too! Ever since she was abducted by a Demon Sect disciple of unknown identity, I've searched for three years without finding a trace!"

...

Just as everyone's hearts were pounding with uncertainty, an extremely excited voice cried out, "It's true! It's really true! This noble cultivator from the Qinglan Sect didn't lie to us! My granddaughter has really returned!"

Following the voice, everyone saw it was that highly respected elderly Semi-Monster who had spoken.

"I've contacted my wife! She's back at our faction! She said she was abducted and enslaved at the Flower Moon House in Nightfall Town but was later redeemed for a large sum of money by some disciples of the Righteous Path, finally escaping that sea of suffering!"

"My husband has returned too! Those despicable human Demonic Cultivators! They didn't even spare the men!"

...

As more and more people in the crowd received messages from their families via jade talismans, some Demonic Cultivators, with determined expressions, were the first to step before Lin Xiao. They prostrated themselves before this Righteous Path disciple, who harbored such great compassion, paying him the highest respect!

Nearby, the two beautiful women, Xiao Hongling and Lu Yingying, watched with sparkling eyes, their hearts surging with emotion!

Towards this handsome man with whom they had spent more than ten years, on top of their already profound feelings, a new layer of admiration was added!

Effortlessly, with just a silver tongue and a few sentences, he had the entire assembly of Demonic Cultivators prostrating themselves in worship!

This was the man they cared for most!

A disciple of the Immortal Sect, as flawless as jade.

A young master without peer in this world!

Xiao'er, I always thought that the proudest achievement of my life was cultivating the Sword Dao of the mortal realm to its highest peak. Only now do I realize, it's not! My greatest pride... is taking you as my disciple eighteen years ago! At this very moment... you are simply a god in your Master's heart!

Xiao Hongling's phoenix eyes shone, her hands cupping her cheeks as she gazed at that tall, graceful figure accepting the worship of all the Demonic Cultivators, seemingly entranced.

At the same time, that strange and shameful emotion surged within her heart once more!

It must be known, she, Xiao Hongling, had never truly given any man a second glance in her entire life! She had even believed that no man in this world was worthy of her, Fairy Hongling, and that she was destined to walk The Great Path alone, fated for a solitary existence!

And now... had the man who made her heart flutter already taken such deep root within it, becoming unshakeable?

Sigh, but I've already spoken with Yurong about Xiao'er's marriage... how can I...

Pah, pah, pah! Xiao Hongling! You can't keep letting your thoughts run wild! Xiao'er is still young; he has simply mistaken his filial piety towards you for romantic love! What right do you, an old woman over two hundred years old, have to compete with Yurong and the others?
