The Villainous Eldest Senior Brother and His Yandere Junior Sisters
Chapter 56 - 55. It’s on fire! We cultivators, fear no fight_2

Chapter 56: 55. It’s on fire! We cultivators, fear no fight_2

With these words, he knelt on one knee, presenting a letter of challenge stamped with the Tiandang Peak’s administrative seal with both hands.

"Hmph, this letter of challenge is for me, the Chief Disciple. What do you mean by disturbing my Master?"

Lin Xiao, a cold sneer on his face, walked over. Just as he was about to take the letter of challenge, two figures rushed over simultaneously—

They were his two precious Junior Sisters!

"Eldest Senior Brother, don’t!"

"This letter of challenge—it’s better if we don’t accept it!"

Guo Yourong and Chu Youwei spoke in unison, then one moved in front and the other behind, blocking their Eldest Senior Brother’s path!

As expected! These two girls are ruining my plans again! They’re completely hopeless!

Seeing this, Lin Xiao felt his scalp tingle.

He knew that, according to the original plot, Guo Yourong and Chu Youwei should have already developed some admiration for Ye Chen by this point. They were supposed to watch coldly from the sidelines, not interfere at all!

Just as he was anxiously pondering how to break this deadlock, an unexpectedly cold and clear voice rang out:

"Yurong, Youwei, stand aside!"

"This letter of challenge from Tiandang Peak... I, this Seat, will accept it personally!"

"My disciple is peerless in this world. Why should he fear a mere Ye Chen!"

This female voice, resonant and powerful, imbued with terrifying True Power, swept across the entirety of Divine Phoenix Peak. Such was its imposing aura that the very stars in the sky seemed to dim.

It was none other than the foremost female cultivator of the Central State, Fairy Hongling, personally stepping forward!

"Hahaha!"

Master! You’re finally back to your true character! Love you, muah!

Seeing his beautiful Master personally step in to resolve the situation, Lin Xiao was unexpectedly overjoyed and finally felt his heart settle.

Then, under the watchful eyes of everyone present, the tall, cold, and imposing figure on the high platform looked down upon those below and declared icily,

"We, Divine Phoenix Peak, accept this letter of challenge!"

"Tell Ye Chen that during the Five Branches Martial Arts Conference, Lin Xiao, the Chief Disciple of Divine Phoenix Peak, will once again beat him until he kneels and begs for mercy, utterly humiliated!"

"Do you understand clearly?"

Under the oppressive aura of the Qinglan Sect’s strongest cultivator, Chen Feng broke out in a cold sweat and prostrated himself on the ground. "Yes... I understand clearly! This disciple nephew will relay the message immediately. Please rest assured, Uncle Master Xiao!"

Just then, two female voices cried out almost simultaneously,

"Master, don’t!"

Everyone turned to look back in astonishment.

They saw two beautiful young women rushing over.

It was indeed Guo Yourong and Chu Youwei, the two direct disciples of Divine Phoenix Peak’s Chairman!

Guo Yourong first shot a fierce glare at Chu Youwei beside her, then knelt and pleaded, "Yurong... boldly requests Master to retract the order!"

The moment these words were spoken, the entire assembly fell silent.

Xiao Hongling’s willow-like brows furrowed, and she looked coldly at her favored disciple. "Yurong, do you intend to defy your Master?"

"No! Yurong wouldn’t dare!"

Guo Yourong gritted her teeth. "This disciple merely feels... that Ye Chen, having come to provoke us, must be well-prepared. Why not... let Yurong take Eldest Senior Brother’s place and accept this letter of challenge? Yurong will fight to the death to secure this victory!"

Chu Youwei, beside her, also bowed low. "Master! Youwei is also willing to fight this battle for Eldest Senior Brother, defeat Ye Chen, and uphold the might of our Divine Phoenix Peak!"

In an instant, everyone was stunned.

Two beautiful Junior Sisters simultaneously requested to fight on behalf of their Eldest Senior Brother!

This... This was so deeply moving!

In that moment, everyone’s gaze involuntarily shifted to the handsome figure in white, as pure as snow.

The Eldest Senior Brother of Divine Phoenix Peak, handsome and elegant, resembling a Fallen Immortal, suddenly strode forward and declared with righteous air,

"Junior Sisters, what is the meaning of this!? Hmm?"

"Now that Ye Chen has openly issued a challenge, I, Lin Xiao, as the Chief Disciple of Divine Phoenix Peak, must naturally go all out to fight and defeat this person, to safeguard the reputation of our Divine Phoenix Peak!"

"If I were to act like a coward today, then if Ye Chen can make trouble, tomorrow disciples from other branches will come to provoke us!"

"If this continues, what will become of Divine Phoenix Peak’s thousand-year reputation? Where will Master’s prestige lie?"

"Setting all that aside!"

"When I face my Demon Tribulation in the future, I will inevitably be plagued by inner demons and face endless repercussions!"

"Therefore... I, Lin Xiao, am set on accepting this letter of challenge! Not even the Heavenly Way can stop me!"

Lin Xiao spoke with impassioned fervor, his arm trembling. The Spirit Sword, Cloud Dream Marsh, shot out of its scabbard with a resounding WHOOSH!

Then, he leaped onto the high stone platform, pointed his sword to the heavens, and, forcing the most protagonist-like, awe-inspiring expression he could muster, roared with all his might,

"We cultivators, what fear have we of a battle!"

Every word, brimming with emotion, was resonant and powerful, echoing through the night sky!

BOOM!

Just then, dark clouds gathered on the horizon, and a sudden flash of lightning tore through them, momentarily illuminating a kingly silhouette!

In that instant, the entire assembly was profoundly shaken!

The vast plaza fell into an awed silence!

Eldest Senior Brother really did make the same choice as in the script, to fight Ye Chen to the bitter end...

He... he’s so heart-wrenching.

Chu Youwei and Guo Yourong stared blankly at the domineering and resolute figure above them. Unconsciously, tears began to stream down their faces like a torrent.

This was the Eldest Senior Brother who had quietly cared for them for more than ten years!

Despite his mediocre aptitude, he possessed the world’s greatest perseverance and courage!

At this moment, atop the high platform, the noblest and most beautiful female immortal in the Cultivation World had her back turned, her eyes slightly reddened and moist.

"We cultivators, what fear have we of a battle..."

"Truly worthy of being my, Xiao Hongling’s, disciple. This is the spirit you should possess!"

"Xiao’er, Master truly did not misjudge your character, child!"

"Rest assured! Master accepted this challenge today precisely to help you personally sever the karma of your past and reforge your Wheel of Destiny!"

"You can always trust your Master!"

After a moment, the disciples of Divine Phoenix Peak in the plaza gradually regained their composure.

They gazed at their resolute and fearless Eldest Senior Brother in the distance, their hearts suddenly surging with heroic pride, their fighting spirit ignited!

Even five years ago, when their Second Senior Sister Guo Yourong had nearly won the championship, they hadn’t been this stirred up!

They eagerly used their Sound Transmission Jade Slips to share the grand events of this night with their friends from other branches within the sect!

In no time, countless messages flew via Sound Transmission Jade Slips, spreading throughout the five main peaks of the Qinglan Sect...

"Pass it on! Our Eldest Senior Brother of Divine Phoenix Peak vows to defeat Ye Chen!"

"Pass it on! Senior Brother Lin of Divine Phoenix Peak is going to smash Ye Chen’s dog head! He’ll make him pray for death but find no release, beg for life but find no escape!"

"Pass it on! Senior Brother Lin of Divine Phoenix Peak looks down on all the so-called geniuses of his generation in the Qinglan Sect! He’s planning to crush everyone at the Five Branches Martial Arts Conference!"

"Pass it on! Senior Brother Lin of Divine Phoenix Peak broke through the Golden Core Realm last night and stepped directly into the Dharma Appearance Realm! After winning the Five Branches Martial Arts Conference, he plans to go to the Enlightenment Cliff on Dragon Head Peak for a deathmatch with the legendary Chief Disciple Jiang Yuan!"

「Phoenix Caw Peak, Jade Maiden Observatory.」

A woman in a white dress, her features as delicate as a painting and her temperament cool and aloof, was gazing at the Sound Transmission Jade Slip in her hand. It shimmered with light, reflecting a myriad of messages. She let out a soft sigh.

"Sigh, you are indeed as bold and fearless as the script foretold."

"However, many things in this world cannot be resolved by courage alone."

"That Ye Chen is a Son of Destiny, with a mysterious and formidable expert protecting him from the shadows. With your ordinary strength, how can you possibly contend against him?"

"Alas, so be it. An ant trying to stop a chariot, a mayfly attempting to shake a mighty tree—such endeavors, however futile, might not be entirely devoid of respectability. For this point alone, Wanning deeply admires you!"

"However, this battle... let Wanning fight it in your stead! I hope that by doing so, I can alter the course of your destiny in this life!"

"You must live on, and live well..."

"My chance-acquainted... Senior Brother of Divine Phoenix Peak."

Zhu Wanning sighed softly, then placed the jade slip down. Her beautiful eyes, which moments before held a hidden tenderness, suddenly turned sharp and resolute. "Steward Xia! Immediately draft a letter of challenge in my name and deliver it to Ye Chen, the new Chief Disciple of Tiandang Peak!"

"In the Five Branches Martial Arts Conference half a month from now, I, Zhu Wanning, Chief Disciple of Phoenix Caw Peak, shall be his first opponent!"
