The Villainous Eldest Senior Brother and His Yandere Junior Sisters

One look is all it takes: certified pure trash.

Sure enough, without Old Shi's guidance, this guy can only court death.

Lin Xiao's gaze fell upon Ye Chen, who was being tormented by a group of Demonic Cultivators to the point of foaming at the mouth and convulsing uncontrollably.

Instantly, it was difficult to reconcile this image with the unstoppable Divine King Ye depicted in the original story.

However, it's strange. Why wasn't there a notification about a decrease in Luck Value for humiliating him to this extent this time?

It seems... it's time to make my move.

With this thought, Lin Xiao raised his finger, decisively summoning the ethereal Immortal Sword, Shadow Moon, and strode forward.

"You... What do you want?!"

Seeing his lifelong nemesis approach with a murderous glint in his eyes, Ye Chen, though utterly exhausted, desperately struggled, scrambling backward.

"Lin Xiao! First, you turned Xuan'er against me! Then, you used despicable hypnotic methods to make this Princely Heir and that giant lizard... You... you fight dirty!"

"I won't accept this outcome of our duel! I won't accept it!"

Blood and tears streamed from Ye Chen's eyes. He was hysterical, like a madman. His frenzied state even made the surrounding Demonic Cultivators, who were feeding him pills, recoil a step!

"Whether you accept it or not is unimportant."

Lin Xiao stated indifferently, "It's as I've said before: your absence is what's truly important to me. Son of Destiny, your script... is over!"

Yes, now that he lacks Yuanyi's protection, killing Ye Chen is the best choice.

After all, even though he has lost a trump card like Xuan'er, in the Great Zhou Empire—that vast map—he still has his mother, the great beauty Princess Consort Beichuan, who is currently sealed!

Although Lin Xiao had only read 2,000,000 words of the original novel, various clues indicated that it was precisely because of this Princess Consort Beichuan—a reincarnation of a Heavenly Maiden from the Upper Realm's Jade Pool—that the hidden boss, Nangong Wudao, manipulated the Empress of Great Zhou into annihilating the entire Ye family on charges of treason!

Currently, due to Jiang Yuan's interference, Ye Xuan'er's character deviation is actually a massive, unexpected development.

That Princess Consort Beichuan, with her heaven-defying background—though Ye Chen was her son with Prince Beichuan through 'divine communion'—was still Ye Chen's biological mother! There was absolutely no way she would betray him!

Therefore—he absolutely cannot let the tiger return to the mountain! He mustn't allow Ye Chen to survive long enough to meet his mother, Princess Consort Beichuan!

"Everyone, please step aside. I will be the one to end him."

Lin Xiao stated calmly.

Just as he was about to slay him with a strike of the purest Immense Sword Qi.

Suddenly, a massive demonic shadow engulfed him entirely, and a figure as tall as a celestial pagoda blocked his path!

"Sect Master Niu? What is the meaning of this?"

Lin Xiao raised an eyebrow. "Repaying a kindness should depend on the occasion, shouldn't it?"

"I..."

Niu Batian shielded Ye Chen behind him, his expression conflicted. Finally, gritting his teeth, he said, "Apologies, Immortal Lin! I, Niu, greatly admire your character and insight! But this man once showed me kindness. I absolutely cannot stand by and watch him be killed!"

"That small favor he did for you more than ten years ago—how does it compare to the great kindness I showed by saving your cousin today and resolving your deep-seated regret?" Lin Xiao retorted coldly.

"A drop of kindness should be repaid with a gushing spring! Kindness, regardless of its magnitude, must always be repaid!"

Niu Batian gritted his teeth again. "Fine! Since Immortal Lin insists on killing this man, and I also owe you a great debt of gratitude... how about this..."

"Kill me instead! Take my life in exchange for Ye Chen's!"

As soon as he said this,

All the Demonic Cultivators in the hall were aghast, rushing forward to dissuade him.

"Sect Master Niu, you mustn't!"

"You are the leader of the Semi-Monster race! The situation is tense right now. If you were to depart, we would be like a dragon without a head, inevitably bullied again!"

"Exactly, Sect Master Niu! How could that brat surnamed Ye's life be more important than yours?!"

...

Just as everyone was desperately trying to persuade him,

An overwhelmingly tyrannical Sword Intent, like a bursting mountain torrent, swept over them, causing everyone's heart to tremble!

"Such terrifying Sword Qi! I've never seen its like in all my years!"

"Which eminence has graced us with their presence?"

"Heavens! To think that among those present today, there is such a peerless Sword Immortal!"

The crowd exclaimed repeatedly, drawing their weapons and cautiously taking a step back.

As that razor-sharp Sword Intent drew nearer, it felt as if it could almost collapse the very void.

Only then did everyone see a tall, stunningly beautiful woman with skin as fair as jade, an emerald green Immortal Sword held diagonally in one hand. Her black hair cascaded like a waterfall as she trod through the air, advancing!

"Master! Don't!"

Seeing his Master abandon her disguise, her face etched with killing intent, Lin Xiao hurriedly rushed forward to stop her.

"What? You still won't let your Master intervene even now?"

Xiao Hongling said coldly, "Alright, Xiao'er, listen to your Master this time! Let Master kill this Ye Chen for you, and your destiny will be forever changed!"

Her phoenix eyes blazed with an intense, murderous light, and her tone brooked no refusal.

"I truly never imagined that my, Niu's, humble Myriad Demon Assembly would actually draw out Fairy Hongling, the strongest of the Qinglan Immortal Sect. I am truly overwhelmed by this honor."

Sensing the killing intent emanating from her, Niu Batian gave a bitter laugh and directly unslung the Demon Saber from his waist, apparently abandoning all resistance.

Then, he turned around and said to Ye Chen behind him, "Prince Ye, you've seen the situation today. You are a disciple of the Qinglan Sect, so you should be aware of Chief Xiao's capabilities. Let me be blunt: unless the Sect Masters of our Eight Great Demon Sects join forces, or that mysterious eminence appears once more, throughout the entire Eastern Region Cultivation World, no one can withstand that Luan Immortal Sword in her hand."

"So be it! Many years ago, I, Niu, owed you a great debt! Today, I shall accompany you in death! Consider this my final repayment!"
