Systemless Villain

Chapter 207  Return to the Heavenly Demon Sect

Long Tian had arrived in the villa area. The gate opened, and he simply drove his car inside, parking it in front of the villa.

Exiting the car, he walked directly towards the door. However, before entering, his steps halted as he sensed some auras in the backyard.

He decided not to enter the villa and instead walked towards the backyard.

Upon approaching, he spotted Li Yue'er and Lin Yan practicing together.

A smile spread across Long Tian's face as he neared them.

Li Yue'er, aware of someone approaching, turned around and spotted Long Tian.

Lin Yan also turned, her expression lighting up at the sight of Long Tian.

"Hey, Brother Long! With Sister Yue'er's help, I'm learning martial arts now," she shared, excitement in her voice.

"Well, that's great. But it would be even better if you enrolled in the Martial Arts Middle School. There happens to be a prestigious school, would you like to join?" Long Tian offered.

Lin Yan's face brightened with hope, "Can I really?"

"Absolutely, maybe tomorrow if you're up for it, we'll head there for your enrollment," Long Tian replied.

"Yes, I want to go to school again!" Lin Yan exclaimed enthusiastically.

"Then, we'll go there tomorrow," Long Tian confirmed.

Hearing this, Lin Yan immediately rushed over and hugged Long Tian, her face radiating pure joy. "Thank you, Brother Long!" she exclaimed.

Long Tian smiled and tousled Lin Yan's hair. Lin Yan is at least 12-13 years old, not too late to start middle school.

Li Yue'er, watching this, also smiled, feeling a sense of joy seeing the present Long Tian.

As Lin Yan let go of her hug, Long Tian mentioned, "By the way, I'm going to the Heavenly Demon sect with Li Yue'er. Do you want to come?" he asked.

"I don't think so. I'm too tired to get in the car again. You know, Brother Long, I went to the mall with Sister Yue'er earlier and bought a lot of stuff," Lin Yan explained.

Long Tian nodded, "Okay then, while we're away, you can stay here and do anything. Just treat it like your own home," he said.

Lin Yan responded with a nod and a joyful smile.

"Alright, let's go, Yue'er," Long Tian said.

Li Yue'er nodded, and with that, they departed together, leaving the backyard and allowing Lin Yan to continue her martial arts practice alone.

As they strolled away, Li Yue'er inquired, "How about the qualification test? Did you pass?"

"Do you even need to ask? Of course, I passed," Long Tian responded, a grin on his face as he casually placed his hand on Li Yue'er's hip.

"Then, there are already two people who passed, which is us, and I hope no one else makes it," Li Yue'er said with a playful smile, moving closer to Long Tian.

"You're quite mischievous, huh?" Long Tian smirked.

Li Yue'er returned the smirk and stood in front of him, without hesitation kissing him on the lips.

Long Tian reciprocated the kiss, and they embraced each other passionately.

Eventually, he lifted Li Yue'er, and they walked towards the bathroom together while still immersed in their heated kiss.

-----

The air hung heavy with the scorching sun and a radiant sky, yet Long Tian and Li Yue'er remained unaffected, immersed in a bath together, their bodies veiled in a rich layer of foam.

Li Yue'er leaned against Long Tian, relishing the tender caresses.

"You know, Long Tian, today I crossed paths with Lin Fan," she revealed.

"What? Where?" Long Tian inquired, his brows arched with curiosity.

"At the restaurant, while accompanying Lin Yan. He made a pitiful attempt to get close to me," Li Yue'er replied, a disdainful smile gracing her face. She then turned around, locking eyes with Long Tian, her hands entwined around his neck. "But alas, I am already yours," she whispered, her voice drenched in seduction.

Long Tian's smile broadened, "I'd prefer if you might deliver a few punches to his face," he suggested.

"I wish to, but we were in a restaurant. You see, I have to uphold my manners, don't I?" Li Yue'er explained.

"Well, that's correct. And then, what transpired with him?" Long Tian inquired.

"Oh, I nearly forgot. Lin Fan mentioned that he was heading to the Heavenly Demon sect today. He extended an invitation to me, and naturally, I declined," Li Yue'er responded.

Long Tian raised an eyebrow. It was quite coincidental that Lin Fan planned to visit the Heavenly Demon sect, considering he himself also intended to go there today.

"Did he disclose his purpose for going there?" Long Tian asked.

"He mentioned something about the sacred pool in the Heavenly Demon sect, which he has some kind of access to," Li Yue'er responded.

Hearing this, Long Tian furrowed his brow. The sacred pool in the Heavenly Demon sect... From its name alone, it was evident it wasn't an ordinary place. Yet, Lin Fan, an ordinary individual, had access to it.

His thoughts now gravitated toward the items he had taken that supposedly belonged to Lin Fan. From the Ashura statue holding heavenly flame related to demons, then the ancient book also tied to demons, and now the sacred pool in the Heavenly Demon sect... All of Lin Fan's opportunities seemed to revolve around demons.

Quickly snapping out of his contemplation, Long Tian held both of Li Yue'er's shoulders. "Let's head straight to the Heavenly Demon sect," he urged.

Li Yue'er nodded, and with that, they both concluded their bath and got dressed.

--------

At this moment, Long Tian and Li Yue'er were clad in modern tactical cultivator attire. Since their destination was a sect, their attire had to be synchronized.

They emerged from the villa, greeted by Ling Han standing next to the car. "Are you ready, young master, young lady?" he inquired.

Long Tian nodded, "Let's go, Uncle Ling," he replied.

Ling Han acknowledged with a nod, and with that, he slid into the car, taking his place behind the wheel. Long Tian and Li Yue'er followed suit, settling into the back seats.

As the engine roared to life, Ling Han promptly pressed the gas pedal, maneuvering the vehicle out of the villa area, setting their course toward the Heavenly Demon sect.

------------

As seconds ticked away, eventually turning into minutes, it felt as if no more than two hours had passed. Now, Long Tian, Li Yue'er, and Ling Han found themselves in a mountainous region, surrounded by a tranquil atmosphere and invigorating, cold air.

The dense forest, with towering trees, rendered further progress by car impossible. They came to a halt near a village that retained a traditional charm, named Fushan.

After parking their car in an open space, the trio stepped out, welcomed by the crisp and refreshing air despite the bright daylight.

"I've been here a few times, and I never tire of the village's ambiance," Long Tian remarked, a contented smile playing on his lips as he relished the breeze tousling his clothes and hair.

The tall, exotic trees, coupled with traditional houses and scarce inhabitants, created an aura of peace and tranquility.

Ling Han, nodding in agreement, commented, "Indeed, modernization hasn't encroached much upon this place, given its proximity to the Heavenly Demon sect. Many people focus solely on the 'Demon' in the name, overlooking the true meaning of 'Heavenly,'" he explained.

"Yeah, they're not so bad," Long Tian concurred. "Alright, let's head there," he declared.

With that, the trio ventured into the forest, the path leading to the Heavenly Demon sect.

Given Long Tian and Ling Han's prior visits, they navigated the route with familiarity.

Finally, they reached the mountain's base, where ancient stairs seemed to pierce through the clouds. Without hesitation, they embarked on the ascent.

-------------

Not long after, the three of them arrived in front of the sect's entrance gate. As usual, it was guarded by four cultivators.

"Who are you?" One of the guards asked, assertiveness etched on his face.

"We are from the Long family and we want to go in," Long Tian responded calmly.

Hearing this, the guard frowned, looking at his companions, "Do you know about the Long family?" he asked.

"The Long family? Isn't that one of the ancient families?" one of his companions answered.

Hearing this, the guard's expression became serious. He then looked at Long Tian. "What do you want?" he asked earnestly.

"We just want to go in. Don't worry, we won't cause trouble. Besides, we've been here before, and I know your leader, Mo Yuegang, well," Long Tian responded, a smile on his face.

The guard looked hesitant, but after a moment, he agreed, "Alright, besides, there's someone else inside," he said.

Long Tian raised one of his eyebrows, "Is that Lin Fan?" he asked.

"No, that person is named Zhao Tianming."

Long Tian's brows furrowed at the mention of Zhao Tianming. The name was unfamiliar to him, prompting a shake of his head in contemplation.

"Open the gate," he instructed, fixing his gaze on the guard.

The guard nodded, and with his companions, they opened the gate.

Long Tian, accompanied by Ling Han and Li Yue'er, stepped into the sect's premises.
