Villain: After I died, all the heroines cried themselves to sleep.

The surrounding air was stagnant.

Everyone fell into an eerie silence.

Luo Tian forms a mudra with his hands.

The legacy of Emperor Gouchen has long been etched into his soul.

Even after years of disuse, it still functions as smoothly as an extension of my arm.

"The Divine Firmament Precious Edict"

boom!

Thunder rumbled through the void.

The demonic cultivators awoke with a start, their faces contorted in terror.

"Divine lightning... Purple Heaven Divine Lightning! How is this possible? Could you be Luo Tian, ​​the Divine Son of the Xuan Tian Sect?!"

"I don't believe it! The Divine Child of Luo Tian has long since perished. Who are you?"

"Noisy."

Luo Tian coldly rebuked.

Driven by his will.

The purple lightning that had gathered in the sky transformed into countless bolts of lightning that slashed down.

Rumble...

The entire world was completely engulfed by lightning.

The group of demonic cultivators had nowhere to go, not even able to scream, before they were blasted to death by the Purple Heaven Divine Lightning.

In the blink of an eye, it vanished into thin air.

Luo Tian raised his hand and wiped it away.

The thunderclouds in the sky slowly dissipated.

Let's look at Junior Sister Yaoguang.

The junior sister was staring blankly at this spot.

Her bright red eyes were veiled with a watery mist.

Luo Tian couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

He didn't actually plan to appear so soon to meet his junior sister Yao Guang.

After all, there were precedents to learn from, and he himself had come back from the dead.

I'm not mentally prepared yet.

But seeing his junior sister in danger, how could he, as the senior brother, let her suffer?

That's why he showed up without hesitation to stand up for his junior sister.

Even after many years.

Luo Tian's commitment to protecting the sect and everyone remains unchanged.

"Senior Brother..."

The Holy Maiden of Yaoguang had tears welling up in her eyes.

Her lips trembled as she murmured hesitantly.

"Is it really you? You're not lying?"

"It's me..."

Seeing his junior sister's hesitant expression, he realized she didn't recognize him.

Luo Tian felt a pang of sympathy.

He then laughed heartily and opened his arms to his junior sister.

"Junior Sister, I'm back."

He had barely finished speaking.

The Holy Maiden of Yaoguang transformed into a streak of light and crashed into his arms with a whoosh.

Luo Tian staggered slightly, but still held the girl firmly in his arms.

"Haha... Junior Sister has really grown up and become a young lady."

He smiled as he looked at the Holy Maiden of Yaoguang in his arms.

The Holy Maiden of Yaoguang did not answer, but simply buried her head tightly in Luo Tian's chest.

She gripped Luo Tian's waist tightly with both arms, exerting force continuously.

They were terrified that Luo Tian would disappear from their sight again.

"...Junior Sister?"

Luo Tian asked with concern.

Immediately, a trembling voice came from within his arms from the Holy Maiden of Yao Guang.

"It's true... I'm not dreaming... It really is Senior Brother..."

"Of course it's true, I'm not lying to you."

Luo Tian answered softly, gently stroking his junior sister's head.

"Senior Brother... Senior Brother..."

The Holy Maiden of Yaoguang tilted her small face up.

The cold indifference on his face was gone.

She pouted, looking aggrieved, and tears streamed down her face.

She sobbed as she recounted her story.

"Waaaaah... Senior brother is a big liar... Why did he only come back now...?"

"There was a slight accident before, and we only recently found our way back."

"Liar...big liar..."

"...I'm not lying to you."

"You said you wouldn't leave, but you abandoned me..."

"I'm sorry, junior sister, I didn't mean to..."

"Waaah..."

With tears blurring her vision, the Holy Maiden of Yaoguang met Luo Tian's gaze.

Looking into Luo Tian's sincere gaze.

The tension in my heart eased.

Unable to hold back any longer, she buried herself in Luo Tian's arms and burst into loud sobs.

"Waaaah... Eldest Brother... Yaoguang misses you so much... I miss you day and night..."

"Junior sister, don't be sad. This time, your senior brother really won't leave..."

Luo Tian gently comforted the Holy Maiden Yao Guang.

Hearing his junior sister sobbing uncontrollably.

I felt my chest being soaked by wet tears.

While feeling compassion, Luo Tian couldn't help but feel a sense of melancholy.

"Junior Sister is a grown woman now, but her temperament is still as childlike as before, unchanged at all."

That's what they were saying.

Luo Tian suddenly noticed something unusual about the Holy Maiden of Yao Guang's body.

"Wait, I feel lighter... Junior Sister, why are you...shrinking?"

……

One hour later.

Luo Tian and the Holy Maiden of Yao Guang sat together on the mountaintop to rest.

The Holy Maiden of Yaoguang tightly embraced Luo Tian's arm.

She had just cried a lot; her big, watery eyes were still slightly red and swollen, and she was still sobbing occasionally as she spoke.

The biggest change was in her body.

As the power of Yao Guang dissipated.

Her body has also returned to the petite and lovely state it was thirty years ago.

"It's all my senior brother's fault for deceiving me. So I've decided to go into seclusion and cultivate. One day I'll break through this false world and bring my senior brother back..."

"..."

Do you also want to create a world where only the eldest brother exists?

Luo Tian twitched his lips.

Continue listening to the story told by the Holy Maiden of Yaoguang.

"But he was too impatient and accidentally made a mistake in his cultivation. Since then, he has never grown up again. He can only grow up when he uses the Taoist magic and supernatural powers inherited from Yao Guang."

"It's okay. Even if I never grow up, my junior sister will always be my junior sister, and that will never change."

"Senior Brother, I'm not a child anymore!"

"Yes, yes... Junior Sister has grown up..."

Luo Tian coaxed the Holy Maiden Yao Guang.

"Well……"

The Holy Maiden of Yaoguang puffed out her little face in protest.

Luo Tian chuckled, unconcerned.

"Junior Sister, how has everyone in the sect been while I was away? Why were you the one who went down the mountain to train alone?"

"Senior Brother actually wanted to show concern for Senior Sister Tianxuan, didn't he?"

"How could that be? Junior Sister, don't overthink it. I've already figured it out. Right now, I'm concerned about all the junior brothers and sisters, as well as the sect leader, elders, and others. Junior Sister Tianxuan is just one of them."

"Really?"

The Holy Maiden of Yaoguang blinked her eyes and looked over.

Luo Tian gazed into the distance and said softly.

"Really, after this ordeal, I've decided to give up my pursuit of Junior Sister Tianxuan and from now on live only to protect everyone."

The "unwavering loyalty" personality trait has been removed.

Let whoever wants to be a simp be it.

anyway.

If all the past experiences were his own doing.

It's hard to understand why I would fall in love with the Holy Maiden of Tianxuan.

"It's so good that Senior Brother has come to terms with it! I knew Senior Sister Tianxuan wasn't good enough for you!"

The Holy Maiden of Yaoguang smiled broadly.

It happily rubbed its head against Luo Tian's arm.

She then went on to tell Luo Tian about the recent events she knew.

"He had been in seclusion cultivating until the Emperor's Fall Secret Realm reappeared three years ago, at which point he decided to come out of seclusion to gain experience, determined to become stronger and find his senior brother."

"Someone told me that my senior brother would leave the Time Waterfall in the Emperor's Fall Secret Realm, so I went there again."

"But this time, what I saw was my past self."

"I told her everything about my future senior brother leaving. Is that why you came back, senior brother?"

The Holy Maiden Yaoguang gazed at Luotian.

Luo Tian naturally knew that the two were unrelated.

But he didn't want to spoil his junior sister's innocent idea, so he smiled happily.

"That's possible. Perhaps it's thanks to my junior sister's reminder that I was able to return to this world from the chaotic spacetime."

He told the Holy Maiden of Yaoguang that after his battle with Ye Chen, he was swept away to the outside of the Desolate Ancient World.

It wasn't until recently that we found our way back.

That's true to some extent.

"So, Junior Sister knows that the Sect Master and the other junior brothers and sisters are all doing well?"

"Um... I'm not really sure either..."

The Holy Maiden of Yaoguang stammered.

She immediately became embarrassed and fidgety.

"Because they also ran away on their own..."

"...Junior Sister, running around like this will make the Sect Master worry. What would you have done if I hadn't been there?"

Luo Tian adopted the airs of the eldest disciple and solemnly admonished the Holy Maiden of Yao Guang.

"Senior Brother, I know I was wrong..."

The Holy Maiden of Yaoguang shook Luo Tian's arm in a coquettish manner.

They didn't forget to make excuses for themselves.

"It's all because the eldest brother abandoned Yao Guang and wasn't there to protect her."

"Okay, okay, it's all my fault..."

Luo Tian was amused.

He gently patted the head of the Holy Maiden of Yao Guang.

"Since that's the case, you'll come back to the Xuantian Sect with me now and properly apologize to the Sect Master."

This was not only addressed to the Holy Maiden of Yaoguang, but also to Luo Tian himself.

If we were to name the person Luo Tian most wanted to see, and also most feared seeing, it would undoubtedly be Empress Xuan.

Empress Xuan had always favored him greatly.

He left Xuantian Sect without a word.

Leaving a mess for Empress Xuan to deal with is truly a disservice to her.

Now he has recognized the Holy Maiden of Yaoguang.

This, on the contrary, made Luo Tianxia determined to return to the Xuantian Sect.

His soul lamp is still burning; perhaps Empress Xuan already knows of his return.

Therefore, Empress Xuan should not be kept waiting any longer.

"There's no time to lose, Junior Sister, let's go back now!"

Luo Tian held the hand of the Holy Maiden Yao Guang, eager to set off.

The Holy Maiden of Yaoguang wrinkled her small, delicate nose.

"Senior Brother, why don't we go back a little later... You don't know, ever since you left, the Sect Master has become especially solemn and difficult to get along with..."

"Junior Sister, this is called being dignified and composed. The Sect Master supports the sect on her own, so you should all be more understanding of her."

Luo Tian chuckled and shook his head.

He would never forget the dignified and graceful smile of the Empress Xuan.

It's always been like this; everyone thinks that Empress Xuan is powerful and treats her with utmost care and respect.

Ke Luotian knew very well that Empress Xuan's love and loneliness also needed care and companionship.

The Holy Maiden of Yaoguang clearly carries a stereotype.

Only then did he realize how stern Empress Xuan was.

"Senior Brother, I'm still a little scared."

"Junior Sister, don't worry. It's not a den of dragons or tigers. The Sect Master is very gentle and easy to talk to. I will put in a good word for you."

"...They're worried about the eldest brother."

"What do I have to worry about?"

"..."

The Holy Maiden of Yaoguang puffed out her cheeks.

As if she had made up her mind, she clung to Luo Tian's arm and wouldn't let go.

Luo Tian thought that Junior Sister Yao Guang was afraid of being punished by the sect leader.

While I found it amusing...

I decided to set an example for the other party.

He used the Xuan Tian Stepping Void Step in conjunction with the Heavenly Locking Sword Formation.

In an instant, it transformed into a beam of celestial sword light, tearing through the void and flying towards the Xuan Tian Sect.

A journey of billions of miles can be completed in an instant.

In just a short while.

In the distance, a sea of ​​clouds and thousands of peaks stand tall, shrouded in ethereal mist.

The Xuantian Sect, which he longed for day and night.

It's right before our eyes.
