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

As soon as I reached the door, I heard muffled sobbing coming from inside.

Then, the crying grew louder and louder.

Chu Luobai remained silent for a moment, then flew towards the entrance of the cave.

On the mountain, at Black Stone Sect.

Qiu Lin channeled his spiritual power into the talisman, and a pale golden light instantly shone forth.

The mysterious and intricate patterns rotated on the ground.

An array containing restrictions was automatically generated at the entrance of the cave.

"Has the world of talisman cultivators evolved to this extent?"

Looking at the formation that was constantly absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, Qiu Lin couldn't help but sigh.

The two entrances connecting the cave are both behind the Black Stone Sect.

Looking at the sealed cave entrance, Qiu Lin couldn't help but shudder as he recalled the dense swarms of insects inside the cave.

"Is everything set up?"

When Xiao Lin saw the person return, he took the initiative to greet them.

"Thank you for your help, fellow Daoist."

"It was nothing at all, Fellow Daoist Xiao. What is it you are doing here?"

Qiu Lin watched with some curiosity as Xiao Lin walked back and forth on the ground, drawing intricate patterns on the ground with a specially made long stick in his hand.

At first glance, it seems chaotic and disorganized.

But upon closer inspection, each one has its own rules and methods.

Since Qiu Lin came up the mountain, he has been dedicated to practicing swordsmanship.

Aside from the Confucian cultivators of the Tianming Dynasty, Xiao Lin was arguably the first cultivator from another sect that he had come into close contact with.

"This is a teleportation array that can instantly send people thousands of miles away to us."

"An array? Fellow Daoist Xiao, as a talisman cultivator, actually knows how to construct such a special array?"

Qiu Lin, filled with curiosity, couldn't help but move even closer.

He had also heard of this formation, and it was said that many other sects had such formations.

This was to make it easier for the disciples to go up and down the mountain, or to go to other places.

As a major sect, the Qingyun Sword Sect should naturally possess these things.

However, the Sword Sect leader felt that this formation consumed too many spirit stones, and that it would be more convenient for sword cultivators to travel by their own swords.

Therefore, while other sects all have teleportation arrays, the Qingyun Sword Sect is the only one without one.

"Sword cultivators are really poor."

Qiu Lin couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

“The construction of various formations is one of the compulsory courses for talisman cultivators, but my current realm is still low, and this formation can only accommodate one person to pass through.”

"We have to wait for my senior brother to arrive before he can construct a teleportation array that can accommodate other passages of the sect."

Xiao Lin felt somewhat helpless; the gap between himself and his senior brother was still too great.

"Speaking of which, why hasn't your senior sister returned yet?"

"If we go down the mountain from here, we should be back soon."

Qiu Lin looked down the mountain and, recalling what he had seen and heard in Blackstone Town, began to have some guesses in his mind.

"Something seems to be holding me back. Is there anything I can help you with, Fellow Daoist Xiao?"

........................................

Meanwhile, at the Qingyun Sword Sect.

"I know quite a bit about the Demon Language Insects, and I am willing to lead a team to investigate."

Inside the Sword Sect's council hall, Zhao Yushi hesitated when Zu Yang volunteered.

It's not that I think Zu Yang is incompetent, but I'm worried about sending someone with too much ability.

If they were to be parasitized by the Demon Language Worm, it would be a huge loss for the entire Qingyun Sword Sect.

But if we send someone with average abilities...

Zhao Yushi sighed inwardly and subconsciously looked towards the direction of Wenling Peak.

He began to ponder: Chu Wang had kept such a tight grip on Zu Yang before, but now he was finally willing to let him go.

If I were to send people there directly...

After much thought, Zhao Yushi felt that this matter was very difficult to handle, and there would be risks no matter who he sent.

"That's why I hate being the sect leader."

Before Chu Luobai and Zhao Yushi could make a decision, a disciple hurriedly walked in through the door.

"Sect Leader, something terrible has happened! A teleportation array has suddenly appeared in the plaza!"

"Teleportation array?"

For some reason, Zhao Yushi had a bad feeling.

On the square outside the council chamber.

The blue array continued to operate, and one by one, disciples dressed in light purple robes emerged from it.

The surrounding Sword Sect disciples looked at each other, completely bewildered.

This single formation alone will cost hundreds of high-grade spirit stones.

Their Qingyun Sword Sect has always been known for its thrift and diligence, so how could they have such extravagant items?

After about five or six disciples of the Tianyan Sect walked out of the formation, the formation gradually disappeared from its original location.

"I am Xu Zhong, a disciple of the Tianyan Sect, and I request an audience with the Sect Leader of the Qingyun Sword Sect."

Zhao Yushi hurriedly walked out, and his face darkened the moment he saw these disciples.

“Sending your disciple directly into my sect… Luo Wenyun, you really have the guts to do that.”

Looking at the gradually disappearing formation, and the disciples with somewhat uneasy expressions.

Zhao Yushi could already picture Luo Wenyun's smug expression inside the Tianyan Sect.

"So you are a fellow Daoist from the Tianyan Sect. It's windy outside, please come into the council hall for a chat."

Zu Yang went to greet them and led the disciples of the Tianyan Sect into the council hall.

On the other side, the Tianyan Sect.

Luo Wenyun looked at the gradually dissipating teleportation array with a touch of heartache.

"I spent so many spirit stones to send people over to help. Zhao Yushi must be overjoyed right now."

"Speaking of which, this matter concerns the Demon Language Insect, so we should inform that kid Gu Lin."

As he spoke, Luo Wenyun lit up a communication talisman at his fingertips.

Meanwhile, at the Qingyun Sword Sect.

"Having heard that demonic language insects have appeared in the southwest of Qingzhou, our sect leader specially sent us here to assist."

"Originally, it was supposed to be Senior Brother Gu Lin from the sect who led the team, but Senior Brother Gu Lin is currently traveling and will join us later."

"So the team is currently being led by the next generation."

Xu Zhong spoke in a serious and respectful manner.

Zhao Yushi was somewhat surprised. He hadn't expected that someone as free-spirited and self-centered as Luo Wenyun could teach such a disciple.

"After discovering the Demon Language Worm, our sect has contacted nearby sects to deal with it together."

"Regarding the follow-up matters, your relationship with my sect..."

Zhao Yushi's gaze swept across the faces of the elite disciples.

"Zu Yang, I'm leaving this matter to you."

After saying that, Zhao Yushi tossed away a hot potato as if he had done something wrong, and left with a relaxed expression.

At that moment, Zu Yang suddenly felt a pang of nostalgia for the time when Gao Hong was the sect leader.

Although Gao Hong's actions were not entirely ethical, he was still quite responsible in his role as sect leader.

At least he's much better than Zhao Yushi, that hands-off manager.

"Without further ado, everyone please look at the map."

After watching Zhao Yushi leave, Zu Yang spread the map on the table.

Before the Tianyan Sect disciples arrived, he had already thoroughly learned the whole story from Zhao Jingren.

"The location where the Demon Language Worm was discovered is in this vicinity, and disciples from the Sword Sect have already gone to investigate this area from the Black Stone Sect."

"My current suggestion is to start with this area and work with the local sects to investigate and control the influence of the Demon Language Insects as much as possible."
