The Villainous Eldest Senior Brother and His Yandere Junior Sisters

Yes, according to the original plot.

Once the Demon Subduing Ring at the entrance was removed, the seals on these trial monster beasts would also be lifted. All the monster beasts they would encounter next would have their cultivation levels elevated by two to three stages! Ironically, the monster beast guarding this first layer of the Ten Thousand Treasures Sword Pavilion would be the easiest to defeat...

"Yurong, would you be scared if Eldest Senior Brother told you that the intensity of the upcoming trials far exceeds your imagination?" Lin Xiao stood up, gently stroking his Second Junior Sister's alluring face.

Guo Yurong forced a smile. "Eldest Senior Brother, why would you say that? There's only one thing Yurong fears in this life."

"Oh? What's that?"

"Not being able to be with Eldest Senior Brother in the end." Completely ignoring the presence of their junior sisters, Guo Yurong pressed her face to Lin Xiao's chest. "Eldest Senior Brother, do you know? Yurong has always had this feeling... that night when you announced to everyone that you loved Yurong... it felt a bit too sudden."

"Ah, this..." Lin Xiao was enjoying the softness of her ample bosom when her words made his heart sink. "No, no, Yurong, you've misunderstood."

"No, Eldest Senior Brother, please let me finish, alright?"

"We're about to face the trial now, and some things... Yurong is afraid if I don't say them now, it will be too late."

Guo Yurong covered Lin Xiao's mouth, her expression sorrowful. "Actually... Yurong can completely feel that among the three of us junior sisters, Eldest Senior Brother, you are closer to Youwei and Little Junior Sister. Especially Little Junior Sister; she's so innocent and cute, even someone with my disposition can't help but dote on her...

"Truly, Yurong often feels so inadequate... I'm not as gentle as Youwei, nor as adorable as Little Junior Sister. How could Yurong possibly be worthy... of your special affection, Eldest Senior Brother?

"Ever since you announced our relationship, Eldest Senior Brother, Yurong's heart has been in turmoil these past few days...

"I'm so scared that I'm not gentle enough, that you'll despise me, Eldest Senior Brother. That's why I stayed up all night learning to make pastries and specifically made some for you yesterday at Hongyan Pavilion..."

As she spoke, the young woman's eyes reddened, and a tear slid down her cheek.

Lin Xiao listened, feeling a pang of guilt and remorse.

Truth be told, among his three junior sisters, he had indeed shown the least concern for this strong-willed Second Junior Sister.

He cleared his throat, signaling the junior sisters nearby to turn away and not to peek.

Then, he held the young woman in his arms tightly and kissed her lips, speaking gently, "Yurong, in Eldest Senior Brother's heart, you are second to no one... at least you are stronger and... bigger than the other two junior sisters!"

Lin Xiao said, emphasizing each word.

"Bigger?" Guo Yurong was dumbfounded at first. Then, as if understanding something, she took Lin Xiao's hand and placed it on her proud, full chest, her face flushing as she asked, "So... does Eldest Senior Brother like it?"

Good heavens! We're still in the middle of a trial! Get a grip, young lady!

"Yurong, we need to focus on the trial first. Some things... hmm, we can discuss them another day!" Lin Xiao's powerful form shuddered, and he hastily stepped back.

Then, calming himself, he drew his Daoist Sword, Cloud Dream Marsh, and shouted, "Junior Sisters, follow Eldest Senior Brother and charge to the final layer!"

***

As everyone passed through the dark corridor before them and stepped into the entrance hall of the first layer of the Ten Thousand Treasures Sword Pavilion, a huge cavern instantly appeared before their eyes.

Around the cavern, countless pieces of refined iron, shimmering with a metallic luster and interwoven with spiritual aura, emerged from the ground—clearly no ordinary materials!

Instantly, the group of young women exclaimed:

"Wow! How beautiful! Are these Spirit Iron?"

"They must be! But... how can we tell their quality?"

"Didn't the Sword-Forging Elder give us an illustrated codex? Let's compare and select them one by one!"

"But how will we have enough time for that? Disciples from each lineage only have the time it takes for one incense stick to burn!"

***

Ignoring the clamor of his junior sisters, Lin Xiao went straight to a stone wall.

It's coming.

The next moment, Lin Xiao sensed something, and his expression changed slightly.

"Everyone, be quiet."

"On my command, retreat!"

"Yes, Eldest Senior Brother!"

Though the junior sisters didn't understand, they still retreated as directed.

Lin Xiao went to a stone wall on the left, inscribed with a flame totem, and unsheathed his Daoist Sword—Cloud Dream Marsh!

Then, he focused his Sword Intent, aiming the tip of Cloud Dream Marsh at that stone wall!

"What... what is Eldest Senior Brother doing?"

"I don't know! Did Eldest Senior Brother discover something?"

The junior sisters looked on in confusion.

Guo Yurong also drew her Longsword, moving behind her Eldest Senior Brother to cover him.

It's getting closer and closer...

Lin Xiao's eyes were cold and stern as he counted down in his mind:

"Three."

"Two."

"One!"

CRASH!

A heaven-shaking sound erupted! Before everyone's stunned gazes, a ferocious beast, wreathed in fierce flames and resembling a qilin, burst forth from the stone wall!

"Eldest Senior Brother, be careful! It's a Dharma Appearance realm Three-eyed Demon Wolf!" Guo Yurong cried out in alarm.

She had barely spoken when,

SWOOSH!

The ugly, massive head of the Three-eyed Demon Wolf rammed precisely onto the edge of Lin Xiao's sword!

And then...

With a crisp CRACK!

A headshot with a single sword strike!

A spray of foul beastly blood filled the air!

The entire process happened in an instant!

All the Divine Phoenix Peak disciples were too stunned to speak!

Only then did they understand...

It turned out that their incredibly capable Eldest Senior Brother had already sensed the monster beast's presence, met it with his sword's edge, and waited at ease to strike!

"So powerful! He killed a Dharma Appearance realm monster beast with a single sword strike!"

"This... could this be the killing technique of a Sword Immortal?"

"Eldest Senior Brother... is he truly only at the Dharma Appearance realm?"
