"Roar..."
Just then, a resounding tiger roar rang out.
The Three Xiao sisters looked up and saw a taoist riding a black tiger toward them.
"Eldest Brother..."
The Three Xiao sisters were overjoyed and hurried forward to bow.
The newcomer was none other than Zhao Gongming.
Zhao Gongming looked at the Three Xiao sisters and smiled. "It has been many years. Have my three sisters been well?"
"Eldest Brother, we've been doing well."
Qiongxiao seemed to want to speak, but stopped herself.
Zhao Gongming noticed it and frowned slightly, but did not press her.
The siblings exchanged a few pleasantries.
Then Zhao Gongming found an excuse to pull Qiongxiao and Bixiao aside. "How is your eldest sister? She seems to be... somewhat off!"
"Oh, elder brother, elder sister has fallen into demonic possession!"
Bixiao said anxiously.
"Demonic possession? What do you mean?"
Zhao Gongming was baffled.
"A few days ago, Eldest Sister actually drew her sword and slashed Senior Brother Dingguang Immortal..."
Bixiao said.
"What? She drew her sword against Dingguang Immortal? This..."
Zhao Gongming's face twitched violently. He found it hard to believe.
Was this still the gentle and virtuous Yunxiao he knew?
"Master said Eldest Sister suffered a cultivation deviation while practicing..."
Bixiao continued.
"A cultivation deviation?"
Zhao Gongming bared his teeth.
"Also, Eldest Sister has been running to Fifth Peak whenever she has time lately. Eldest Sister might..."
Qiongxiao hesitated.
"Might what? Hurry and say it! You're driving me to death with worry!"
Zhao Gongming urged anxiously.
"Eldest sister might have fallen for fifth senior brother..."
Bixiao said with a bitter smile.
"What? This... how could that be? How could Yunxiao fall for that waste? What exactly happened? This... this..."
The moment Zhao Gongming heard the news, he exploded in shock and anger.
Li Xiao was a famously useless waste within the Jie Sect!
Naturally, Zhao Gongming did not want his sister to be with a waste.
"Maybe fifth senior brother put some kind of demonic possession on eldest sister..."
Bixiao stuck out her cute little tongue and said.
The moment Zhao Gongming heard that, he flew into a rage and gritted his teeth. "Hmph, Li Xiao, you dare set your sights on my sister? I'll make you pay!"
With that, Zhao Gongming turned and mounted the black tiger, leaving Three Immortal Island and heading straight for Golden Ao Island.
"Oh no, Eldest Brother..."
Qiongxiao and Bixiao panicked.
Just then, Yunxiao came out. Seeing Zhao Gongming ride away on the black tiger, she frowned deeply and turned angrily to Qiongxiao and Bixiao. "What did you two tell Eldest Brother? Why did he leave in anger?"
"We didn't say much. We only said that eldest sister might like fifth senior brother..."
Qiongxiao said guiltily.
"Oh, you two, honestly..."
Yunxiao panicked and hurriedly rode a cloud after Zhao Gongming.
"Eldest Sister, wait for us..."
Qiongxiao and Bixiao hurried after Yunxiao.
Riding the black tiger, Zhao Gongming arrived at Golden Ao Island in an aggressive rage.
However, once he reached Golden Ao Island, his momentum faltered. After all, this was Tongtian Cult Master's sacred ground, and he did not dare act too recklessly.
But he had been furious before and had put on such an imposing display. If he simply went back now, Qiongxiao and Bixiao would surely laugh at him to death.
Thus, Zhao Gongming could only grit his teeth and continue onward.
When he arrived at Fifth Peak, Zhao Gongming took a deep breath and cupped his hands toward Fifth Grotto. "Zhao Gongming requests an audience with fifth senior brother!"
"Oh? Junior Brother Gongming, please come in!"
Li Xiao came out with a smile.
Li Xiao had a fairly favorable impression of Zhao Gongming.
Zhao Gongming would become the God of Wealth in later generations. He was kind and loyal, deeply devoted to the Jie Sect.
As the saying went, one did not strike a smiling face. Li Xiao had come out to welcome him so warmly.
Zhao Gongming could not very well immediately make accusations, so he could only force a smile and follow Li Xiao into the grotto abode.
Once inside, they each took their seats.
Li Xiao looked at Zhao Gongming with a smile and asked, "What brings Junior Brother Gongming here?"
Just as Zhao Gongming was about to speak, the Three Xiao sisters rushed in anxiously.
"Elder brother, fifth senior brother, are... are you two all right?"
Fearing that Zhao Gongming and Li Xiao had fought, Yunxiao hurriedly asked.
"Junior Sister Yunxiao, what are you saying? What could possibly happen to the two of us?"
Li Xiao said with a chuckle.
Only then did Yunxiao breathe a sigh of relief. Looking at Zhao Gongming, she said, "Eldest Brother, things are not what you think. I'll explain everything to you later..."
"Oh!"
Zhao Gongming nodded.
"Explain what? What happened?"
Li Xiao looked at the siblings in confusion.
"Well... fifth senior brother, it's nothing. We still have some matters to attend to, so we'll take our leave first. Farewell..."
Yunxiao smiled awkwardly, grabbed Zhao Gongming, and pulled him outside.
Li Xiao was even more confused.
Ah, the Zhao siblings really are pitiful. Such loyal and righteous people, yet they will all ultimately meet death and destruction. Although Yunxiao survives, she will be trapped beneath Qilin Cliff. How tragic...
Just as Yunxiao stepped out of Fifth Grotto, Li Xiao's inner voice suddenly rang out in her mind.
Yunxiao was deeply shaken. She turned back to Li Xiao with an incredulous expression and thought in alarm, What? Eldest Brother and my two sisters will all meet death and destruction? I'll be trapped beneath Qilin Cliff? This... this...
Seeing Yunxiao look at him, Li Xiao was first stunned, then revealed what he believed was a charming smile.
Yunxiao composed herself and led Zhao Gongming and the others away.
After leaving Golden Ao Island, Yunxiao grew more alarmed the more she thought about it. Looking at Zhao Gongming, Qiongxiao, and Bixiao, she said, "Eldest Brother, sisters, I have something to discuss with Master. Return to Golden Ao Island first and wait for me!"
"Yunxiao, what happened? Why does your complexion look so poor?"
Zhao Gongming frowned deeply as he looked at Yunxiao suspiciously.
"Oh, it's nothing. What could possibly happen to me? Eldest Brother, you should go back first!"
Yunxiao forced a smile.
"All right, Yunxiao. If anything happens, tell Eldest Brother. Take care of yourself. We'll head back first..."
Zhao Gongming said, still somewhat worried.
"Yes, don't worry, Eldest Brother. This is Golden Ao Island. What could happen here?"
Yunxiao said with a strained smile.
"Then, Sister, we'll wait for you on Three Immortal Island!"
Zhao Gongming nodded, then left with Qiongxiao and Bixiao.
Yunxiao hurried to Biyou Palace and cupped her hands. "Master, your disciple Yunxiao requests an audience!"
"Come in!"
Tongtian Cult Master's voice came from within Biyou Palace.
Yunxiao rose, pushed open the door, and walked in. Seeing Tongtian Cult Master reclining high upon a cloud bed, she hurriedly cupped her hands. "Disciple Yunxiao greets Master!"
Tongtian Cult Master Is Alarmed, Three Xiao Sisters Visit Li Xiao
Tongtian Cult Master swept his sleeve and set up a barrier. Looking at Yunxiao, he asked, "Yunxiao, what happened?"
Yunxiao hurriedly cupped her hands toward Tongtian Cult Master. "Master, I heard fifth senior brother's inner voice again. He said... he said..."
Seeing Yunxiao's terrible expression, Tongtian Cult Master frowned deeply. "Yunxiao, what exactly happened? Why is your complexion so poor?"
Yunxiao was nearly in tears. Looking at Tongtian Cult Master, she said anxiously, "Master, I heard fifth senior brother's inner voice say that... my elder brother Zhao Gongming and my two sisters Qiongxiao and Bixiao will all meet death and destruction. I will be trapped beneath Qilin Cliff. Master, please, you must save us siblings!"
