After her senior sister was reborn, she actually became a powerful and arrogant protagonist?!

"This way, please, gentlemen."

Li Yuan led the group all the way to the back of the mountain.

Lou Jiming's eyes were deep and dark. This Li Yuan was eccentric and capable of doing anything.

Moreover, he had previously suggested burying Chu Luobai and the others in some unknown place...

As they gradually entered the area behind the mountain, Lou Jiming became increasingly worried.

Could this old man really be planning that?

Finally, Li Yuan stopped at a place where many boulders and iron chains were gathered.

Amidst a multitude of intertwined chains, a long sword hangs suspended in mid-air.

An astonishing sword aura rippled outwards, its power terrifying.

Chu Luobai took two steps closer, only to find that the sword energy was exceptionally gentle.

It lacked the murderous aura found in the sword forest of the Qingyun Sword Sect.

"This is...?"

Chu Luobai was somewhat puzzled. She could vaguely sense that this sword was related to the Drunken Sword Immortal.

"This used to be Ye Lanxiao's sword. I suppose Fellow Daoist Chu came here with the jade token for this very item."

"Although this sword has been with my sect's disciples for many years, we have long developed an attachment to it."

"But even if there's a lot of reluctance, it should be returned to its rightful owner, don't you think?"

Li Yuan looked reluctant to part with Chu Luobai, his eyes filled with sorrow.

His expression made it seem as if Chu Luobai had taken an enormous advantage of him.

"Is this longsword what the Drunken Sword Immortal left me?"

Chu Luobai raised her hand and placed her palm on the nearest chain.

The cold chains, accompanied by bursts of spiritual energy, swirled around her palms. This familiar fluctuation of spiritual energy was exactly the same as that left behind by the Drunken Sword Immortal in the Sword Lake Blessed Land.

It seems that the old man really didn't lie to me; this is indeed the longsword left behind by Ye Lanxiao.

only...

But it wasn't what I wanted.

Chu Luobai circulated the spiritual energy within his body, and the two streams of spiritual energy intertwined along the iron chain, achieving a delicate balance.

Then, the longsword hanging in mid-air emitted a series of sword cries.

Like whispers of joy at a long-awaited reunion.

"It seems that Fine Rain really likes Fellow Daoist Chu."

Li Yuan sighed.

"No wonder Fellow Daoist Chu was able to obtain the jade tablet that belonged exclusively to him from Ye Lanxiao."

Chu Luobai withdrew his hand, and the sword's cry gradually faded and finally dissipated into the air.

"It was obtained by chance. To have a relationship with Senior Sword Immortal is something that many people would rather die than do."

"How could I, a mere Dao Integration Realm cultivator, possibly have such good luck?"

Chu Luobai remained unmoved in the face of Li Yuan's probing.

It seems that even these three elders are unsure of Ye Lanxiao's current situation.

"Very well, since Fine Rain has recognized its master today, it's a kind of returning it to its rightful owner if you take it away. What do you say, Fellow Daoist Chu?"

Li Yuan stepped back, making room for Chu Luobai.

"Elder Li, this drizzle has never claimed a master."

Chu Luobai shook her head slightly, looking at Li Yuan with a half-smile.

"Besides, this is not what I seek."

Li Yuan's face, which had been all smiles, suddenly darkened, and a hint of gloom flashed in his narrow eyes.

"Oh? Didn't I hear before that Fellow Daoist Chu didn't know what he was seeking?"

“My Liuying Sword Sect is a small and insignificant sect, and we may not have what Fellow Daoist Chu wants.”

Sensing the threatening aura emanating from Li Yuan, Zhao Jingren silently stepped forward and stood beside Chu Luobai.

He lazily lifted his eyelids, but the murderous intent in his eyes was not concealed in the slightest.

"Since it was Senior Sword Immortal who summoned me here, there must be something I need here."

Chu Luobai smiled calmly, her eyes fixed on Li Yuan.

The moment their eyes met, intense sparks flew.

"Oh?"

Li Yuan raised his voice, his tone ambiguous, carrying a hint of hostility.

"Does Fellow Daoist Chu think he understands the Flowing Shadow Sword Sect better than this old man?"

Chu Luobai did not answer, but turned to look at Lou Jiming beside him.

"Elder Lou should know very well what I am asking for."

“…”

Lou Jiming remained silent; Chu Luobai was clearly smarter than she had imagined.

Seeing that there was no possibility with Li Yuan, they quickly turned their attention to themselves.

"Elder Lou?"

Seeing that the old fox Lou Jiming remained silent, Chu Luobai spoke up again.

"Fellow Daoist Chu, we'll bring out all the best things left behind by the Drunken Sword Immortal Ye Lanxiao."

"If this is not what you want, fellow Daoist, then I can't help you anymore."

These old fogies...

Chu Luobai's face darkened. Lou Jiming had been so cooperative before, so she thought things would end quickly.

Now it seems they probably already planned how to screw themselves over.

"Alas, I did not wish to make things difficult for the elders, but I have already accepted the entrustment of Senior Sword Immortal."

Chu Luobai sighed deeply, his tone tinged with a hint of shame.

"but....."

Suddenly, Chu Luobai changed the subject.

"Our Qingyun Sword Sect leader once taught us that as disciples of the Sword Sect, we must be true to our word."

"If you've made a promise to someone, you should keep it; otherwise, you'll easily develop inner demons."

"The three elders surely wouldn't want us, the disciples of the Qingyun Sword Sect, to encounter such a predicament so soon after descending the mountain, would they?"

Sure enough, as soon as they heard the words "Qingyun Sword Sect"...

Lou Jiming, Li Yuan, and Xu Xing all changed their expressions.

"Qingyun Sword Sect..."

If we were to name the most formidable sect in the entire Qingzhou Realm, aside from the demonic cultivation sects, it would undoubtedly be the Qingyun Sword Sect.

The entire sect is extremely powerful in combat, and they are also exceptionally vengeful.

Even when the fate of their sect leader and many elders was unknown, the Qingyun Sword Sect managed to carve out a bloody path through the sect alliance with the help of the remaining elders.

Those sects that took the opportunity to covet the Azure Cloud Sword Sect were severely punished.

They might dare to make a move against other sects.

But...Qingyun Sword Sect.

The three exchanged glances, and each saw a serious expression in the other's eyes.

"Very well, since the three of you don't know, how about I go and find out for myself?"

Chu Luobai's gaze swept over the three of them indifferently, quite satisfied with the threatening effect achieved by invoking the Qingyun Sword Sect.

In his past life, he was always careful and never revealed his identity because he was worried about causing trouble for the sect.

On the contrary, Jiang Yuzhe and Mu Yurou always managed to escape danger by mentioning the name of the Qingyun Sword Sect after causing trouble.

In the end, it also caused her, the "senior sister," to be labeled as not strict enough in disciplining her disciples.

After a lifetime, Chu Luobai finally understood.

So many people are desperate to join a major sect, isn't it all for the sake of having a stronger backer in the future?

If you have powerful backers, when will you use them if not now?

Anyway, if the sky falls, the elders will hold it up. What does it have to do with a weak, pitiful and helpless disciple like her?

"If the three elders have no objections, then I will go and investigate on my own."
