"Eldest Senior Brother, you..."
"Why are you here..."
Guo Yourong gazed blankly at the man in front of her, dressed in snow-white robes, her heart in turmoil, tears welling unbidden in her eyes!
Suddenly, she covered her mouth, bursting into tears, and ran towards the tall, robust figure!
She buried her head into that warm embrace!
"Eldest Senior Brother, I'm sorry, what I just did..."
"Enough, don't say anything more."
"We should leave Canglan City quickly as it's already filled with spies from the Demon Sect!"
Lin Xiao's face was also unprecedentedly serious.
By now, the commoners on the main street had long since dispersed. After making sure there was no danger, he finally helped the girl up.
Seeing she only sustained minor superficial injuries, he sighed in relief.
Even if she was cunning and unsettlingly possessive, she was, after all, the junior sister he'd watched grow up... Of course, he chooses to forgive her!
"Hold on tight!"
With a sweep of Lin Xiao's finger, a Spirit Sword, like sothing out of a dream, shot out from his Purple Mansion and steadied itself mid-air in front of them.
Instantly, he picked up his junior sister in a princess carry, stepped onto the flying sword, and attempted to flee this place.
"CACKLE! CACKLE! CACKLE! CACKLE..."
An eerie laughter, like sothing inhuman, ca from the distance...
"Eldest Senior Brother, watch out! Behind!"
Guo Yourong scread as she noticed sothing.
Lin Xiao was taken aback, turning around, only to see a scarlet talisman, carrying terrifying montum, flying towards them!
When it was but a short distance away, the talisman transford into a paper man, full of sinister evil aura, lunging at his face!
While holding his junior sister in his arms, Lin Xiao executed the Drunken Immortal Watching Moon Step and, just then, triggered his passive skill, the Wine God Curse, to dissolve the remnant evil aura, thus perfectly dodging this strike!
"Cultivation level in the later stage of the Dharma Appearance realm..."
"Using paper dolls as a dium to perform ghostly Divine Skills..."
"This guy is... Sky Yin Boy!"
In just a split mont, countless pieces of information surged through Lin Xiao's mind! Indeed!
At this tiline in the original story, the Eight Great Demon Sects had already ford an alliance, plotting to overthrow the head of the Righteous Path in the Eastern Region, the Qinglan Immortal Sect! This was because Sky Yin Blood Demon, the super boss who had been the head of the Demonic Path in the Eastern Region three thousand years ago, was suppressed within Coiling Dragon Abyss, the forbidden ground of the Qinglan Sect. He still needed so ti to fully break the seal. Therefore, the Eight Great Demon Sects brewed an insidious conspiracy—first, they planned to corrupt the spiritual veins around Qinglan Sect's territory, allowing the toxins to gradually spread to the source spiritual vein deep within the Qinglan mountain range! Thus, the disciples of Qinglan Sect would unknowingly have their Dao hearts corrupted by the evil qi during their daily cultivation, causing a great fall in their realm! When the Sky Yin Blood Demon broke free of the seal, the Eight Great Demon Sects would have the confidence to lead their forces and break through the mountain gate of Qinglan Sect in one fell swoop!
Lin Xiao rembered it very clearly.
Although this side mission was designed for the protagonist, Ye Chen, to kill the Daoist Corpse Demon for experience and obtain the Spirit Formation Pearl on him. However! In the original story, it was ntioned in passing that there were three major bosses secretly gathering in Canglan City during this ti! And this Left Protector of the Shadow Ghost Sect, Sky Yin Boy, was one of them!
"CACKLE! CACKLE! CACKLE! CACKLE! CACKLE..."
"Two fresh pieces of Golden Core cultivators' flesh and blood, truly intoxicating..."
"It's been a long ti since I've set foot in the Central Land... Tonight, I shall have a feast!"
The bizarre voice, sotis like a child, sotis like an old man, ca again from the depths of the night.
"Junior Sister, step back."
"Watch carefully, learn well."
"Next, Eldest Senior Brother is going to show you..."
"The real Devil-Slaying Technique!"
With a smirk, Lin Xiao sheathed his sword, Cloud Dream Marsh, and boldly walked forward!
...
...
Yes. Even with Sky Yin Boy's cultivation level at the peak of the Dharma Appearance realm, it would be impossible for anyone, even the protagonist Ye Chen backed by a benefactor, to defeat him by jumping up a whole realm! After all, in the original story, this was a mid-ga boss! He shouldn't have appeared at this point in ti! It was precisely because Yurong changed the plot by entering Canglan City a night early that alerted this person! However, fortunately, in the original story, there was a character flaw set for this Sky Yin Boy! Therefore, Lin Xiao decided to take advantage of this flaw, take an unorthodox approach, and win with a surprise move!
"CACKLE! CACKLE! CACKLE! CACKLE... Little cultivator, you feel my oppressive presence, yet not only do you not flee, you dare to approach?"
The gender-ambiguous, human-yet-ghost-like voice ca again, drawing ever closer!
WHOOSH—
As gusts of ghostly wind blew, a blood-colored palanquin radiating an ominous aura slowly moved towards him under the chilling moonlight.
Upon closer inspection, the won carrying the palanquin, their skin a ghastly pale and their faces contorted in grimaces, were revealed to be transford paper dolls!
"Heh, you think I'm afraid of soone who doesn't even dare to show their face?"
"What bullshit Sky Yin Boy, Great Protector of the Demon Sect? In my eyes, you're just a songstress!"
Lin Xiao, hands on his hips, fired back with a barrage of taunts.
Obviously, these words successfully enraged his opponent.
WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
The surrounding specter fog beca even more tumultuous, roiling violently!
"Damn it! How dare you enrage !"
"In my hundred years dominating the Demonic Path, no one has ever dared to speak to like this!"
"Especially not a worthless Golden Core page boy!"
"I... I... This seat will skin you alive and devour your bones!!!"
From inside the blood-colored palanquin ca a flurry of hysterical roars.
Following that, the group of previously motionless paper dolls carrying the palanquin, as if summoned, suddenly sprang to life, charging at Lin Xiao!
"Eldest Senior Brother, let Yurong protect you! You run!"
Guo Yourong, disregarding her injuries, lunged forward, attempting to stop the paper figures.
But who would have thought—
Just as she flew about ten feet, her waist was snared by sothing slippery and yanked back forcefully!
This... this seems to be that indecent... no, strange Divine Skill Eldest Senior Brother used that night!
Seeing the vine around her waist, Guo Yourong was montarily stunned.
"Step back! Just stand by and watch the show!"
"If we try to fight him head-on, even our combined strength won't be enough to defeat this creature! Understand?"
Lin Xiao frowned slightly, issuing a stern rebuke to his junior sister through a ntal ssage.
Then, with a flip of his wrist, he ford a hand seal. He simultaneously activated his Divine Skills to bind his injured junior sister and move her to safety, while also using vines to create a giant net, blocking the paper figures' attack!
"CACKLE! CACKLE! CACKLE! CACKLE! CACKLE... Interesting!"
"Throughout this Human Cultivation World, the hierarchy is clear! The lower tier utilize flying swords, the middle tier manipulate Magic Treasures, the upper tier command Divine Skills, and the absolute elite directly invoke the Power of Heavenly Earth Laws!"
"You, lad, are quite sothing! Despite your re Golden Core cultivation, not only have you mastered the Law of Wood and its power, but you have also developed such a potent Innate Divine Ability!"
"The more I look at you, the more delectable you seem... CACKLE! CACKLE! CACKLE! CACKLE..."
The laughter grew increasingly sinister and deranged. It even made Lin Xiao feel a bit queasy.
He also realized sothing: the enemy was likely preparing to use his full power.
He cleared his throat and began his final verbal assault: "Sky Yin Boy! Do you really think you're all that?! Why don't you take a good look at your pathetic self!"
"You hideous dwarf, unwanted by anyone when you were alive! After your death, you were refined into a Ghost Puppet Child by Sky Yin Blood Demon, becoming a protector of the Demon Sect. You think you're so magnificent, but in reality, no one gives a damn about you!"
"Take a good look at yourself!"
"With that bald, barren head of yours, looking like a damn pickled egg! You look as ugly as a troll! And you still have a bunch of idiotic paper n carry you around all day. Are you trying to parade a corpse?"
"I finally understand why your own mother drowned you! Because you're hideous! HAHAHAHA!"
Lin Xiao, hands on hips, unleashed the torrent of insults in one breath, without even pausing!
"You... you lowly page boy... how could you know my past?!"
"And... I'm not ugly! I'm not a dwarf!"
"No wait... soone did say that to before!"
"AAAAAH! The pain! The pain is piercing my skull!"
"Mother... Mother, why did you abandon ? Why? BOO HOO HOO HOO..."
One pained and anguished howl after another emanated from within the ominous blood sedan.
Following this, in the void, the dark, evil aura condensed, and the blood-red sedan chair suddenly exploded!
A figure, looking sowhat comical, abruptly appeared!
Wow, the original work's description is really on point! Lin Xiao was stunned.
This Great Protector of the Demon Sect was less than a ter tall, yet he had a disproportionately large, ugly head, and his entire body was covered in festering sores...
In the literature from his past life, such a creature would undoubtedly be "contained"!
"You're slandering ! You're slandering !"
"I... I was my mother's most obedient child! She wouldn't abandon ! She did it for my own good, sacrificing to Ancestor Sky Yin!"
"You little thief! Shut your mouth! This seat will kill you! I'll rip out your soul fla and light it as a sky lantern, ensuring you never reincarnate!"
The Sky Yin Boy, seething with emotion, shrieked hysterically.
However, at this mont, he no longer possessed the sharp imposing aura of a Demon Sect master, resembling more a petulant child pushed to his breaking point!
With his mind out of control, the terrifying Yin Evil Qi around him surged violently, his aura becoming extrely chaotic!
The next mont—
SPLAT!
His deford body tilted forward, and a glob of corrupt Demon Blood spurted from his mouth!
"You... I will... I will kill you!"
In an instant, the Sky Yin Boy was bleeding from all seven orifices. Kneeling on the ground, his blood-red demonic eyes were fixed deadly on Lin Xiao.
"Tsk tsk, soone's been triggered. I won't say who."
Lin Xiao gave a cold laugh and turned to leave.
At this point, Sky Yin Boy, consud by blood rage, could no longer control the Seven Evil Demon Beads implanted within him by Sky Yin Blood Demon. He would soon be devoured by his own rampaging demonic energy, perishing from the backlash. Lin Xiao didn't even need to deliver the coup de grâce. Yes. In the original work, Sky Yin Boy also t his end during the second major war between the Righteous Path and the Demonic Path; he was verbally devastated to the point of self-destruction by his little junior sister, Lu Yingying. He was definitely one of the most bizarre bosses in the book.
BANG!
A violent explosion ripped through the air.
"Mother! Maomao is your good boy, not so..."
"Ugly freak, AAAAAAH!"
The Half-step Nascent Soul Realm Sky Yin Boy, in his final, sorrowful howl, transford into a crimson mist of blood and exploded in the void!
However, Lin Xiao paid him no mind, not even pausing in his strides.
A real man never looks back at an explosion.
「anwhile.」
Guo Yourong, who had watched from afar as Sky Yin Boy was verbally obliterated into self-destruction, couldn't help but widen her beautiful eyes in shock!
"I never expected Eldest Senior Brother's most impressive talent... to be his oral skills!"
"Three sentences, and he made a peak Dharma Appearance realm expert from the Demon Sect self-destruct on the spot!"
"Isn't that a bit too powerful?!"
"My Eldest Senior Brother... no, my future husband, is truly a heavenly being!"
At this mont, she was utterly shaken, and her infatuation with her Eldest Senior Brother deepened even further!
...
...
"Here, Eldest Senior Brother, this is for you!"
Guo Yurong, holding the Spirit Formation Pearl, walked towards her Eldest Senior Brother.
Eh? What she's holding... is this the Spirit Formation Pearl?
Looking at the auspicious pearl his junior sister handed him, Lin Xiao was montarily stunned.
Clearly, it must be the one from Daoist Corpse Demon. According to the lore, carrying this item allows one's divine sense to flow freely, forming techniques with a single thought, and unleashing spells and Divine Skills in an instant. It was also an Innate Treasure that Ye Chen used extensively until the later stages of the original story.
If I want to restore the plot, does that an I have to hand this over to Ye Chen? Damn it, I'm not willing!
Just as Lin Xiao was struggling with this dilemma, a calm and indifferent male voice sounded from behind him:
"Junior Brother, hand that over to , if you please."
Hm?
Lin Xiao's heart tensed. He quickly gripped his Longsword and scanned the area behind him.
In the moonlight, a man dressed in tattered, old-fashioned Daoist robes, looking sowhat dishevelled but with a remarkably handso face, slowly approached.
Hm? Why does this person look so familiar?
Lin Xiao scrutinized the man's features, a puzzled thought arising in his mind.
anwhile, as the man sized him up, the sa expression of confusion flashed across his face!
