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

The moment the body double was switched, Aunt Fang, who was standing at the entrance of the pavilion, seemed to notice something.

She subconsciously looked in Chu Luobai's direction.

Seeing that Qiu Lin's maid was still standing obediently in place, she looked away with some confusion.

Is it my own illusion?

In the distance, Chu Luobai darted quickly towards the backyard, hugging the wall.

The Princess's residence was heavily guarded on the outside, but there were not many people inside.

Chu Luobai encountered no one else along the way, except for one or two maids.

Compared to the prince's residence where Feng Xiuquan had previously been granted power, the number of guards here can only be described as meager.

"There are so few people, is there something unspeakable going on?"

Chu Luobai pondered to herself that she had only detected something unusual when she used the gourd's five senses to investigate.

Now that she's come in personally, the strong smell of blood is almost making her vomit.

"The fact that this mansion can seal off the aura of these things means it must have been protected by an array."

"We don't know where the core of the formation is located."

While pondering, Chu Luobai continued to search around.

Following that extremely faint spiritual energy, they walked deeper into the mansion.

In the center of the mansion stands a building with decorations that are completely out of place with its surroundings, and it is remarkably simple.

Chu Luobai went around to the side and gently pushed open the window.

The building was unusually spacious, with only a huge Buddha statue placed in the very center.

"Buddhist shrine?"

Chu Luobai frowned, and only after confirming that no one was around did she slowly walk to the Buddha statue.

This Buddha statue is as tall as three or four people.

Unlike the benevolent and compassionate Buddha statues that can be seen everywhere in the mortal world, these are different.

The Buddha statue is entirely black, with its eyes illuminated by red cinnabar.

It is not like a true Buddha, but more like a demon.

"The people of the Southern Frontier have never believed in gods or Buddhas. Why would the Princess of Qiu Kingdom place such a strange thing here?"

Chu Luobai looked at the Buddha statue and felt a sense of unease.

She walked around the Buddha statue, and found that apart from the Buddha statue, there was nothing else in the Buddhist hall.

There wasn't even a table to place the offerings.

There was an eeriness about everything.

Chu Luobai raised her hand and closed all the doors and windows, then released her divine sense to cautiously explore her surroundings.

There was no unusual movement on the ground.

This enormous princess's residence didn't even have a single cultivator in charge of its security.

And underground...

Chu Luobai opened her eyes, a flash of ferocity passing through them.

"under."

She could sense that there was a huge space beneath the Buddha statue, and that it was protected by a barrier.

As she explored, it constantly hindered her spiritual senses.

"What exactly is the relationship between the Autumn Kingdom and the Black Stone Sect?"

Chu Luobai walked around the Buddha statue several times but couldn't find any usable mechanisms.

She brandished the longsword at the Buddha statue a couple of times, sighed, and then put it away.

It wasn't that she couldn't break the Buddha statue, but rather that no matter what she did, it would make quite a commotion.

He endured so much humiliation for so long, even releasing the gourd, all to avoid alerting the enemy.

If we take action now, all the preparations we've made before will be for naught.

"Never mind, I'll come back to check later."

Now that Shi Aotian has escaped to Qiu Kingdom, he certainly won't give up easily.

Even with his strength, it would be difficult for him to safely cross the boundary and reach the southern border.

It's just a matter of waiting a few more hours; nothing will go wrong.

Chu Luobai comforted herself in this way, turned around and left the Buddhist hall, and continued to explore other corners of the Princess's residence.

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

On the other side, the Hundred Flowers Sect.

A huge fire broke out in the deep pit.

Scorching heatwaves continued to sweep outwards, and terrifying flames licked at the clouds on the horizon.

The evening sky seemed to be ignited by the waves of fire.

"This Karmic Fire Formation was personally developed by the sect leader and can completely eliminate all the demonic insects lurking in this area."

Xu Zhong wiped the sweat from his forehead.

The Karmic Fire Formation was massive and incredibly powerful.

If he hadn't brought so many disciples this time, it would have taken him almost half a month to build it up by himself.

But if it were Senior Brother Gu Lin, he could handle it in less than a day by himself.

"Thank you all for your hard work. I sent all the information about the Hundred Flowers Sect back to the Sword Sect some time ago."

"The sect leaders will likely make a decision soon, and the alchemy sects should also send people over soon."

Zu Yang took a deep look at the flames in the Karmic Fire Array and replied.

The disciples who had just gone to explore towns further away have also returned. The situation of the Demon Language Worm parasites is far more serious than they had imagined.

The Demon Language Worm parasitizes mortals and actively feeds on their flesh and blood.

Many weak mortals in those towns have already perished because of the Demon Whisperer.

Although the Tianyan Sect can detect the existence of the Demon Language Insects, it can also eliminate them through certain means.

However, their methods are too radical for ordinary people, especially those who are physically weak.

To save the lives of these mortals, we must rely on the Dan Sect.

However, the pills were precious, and the sect leader and elders of the Pill Sect were not benevolent people willing to use their own precious pills to save the lives of mortals.

At this point, external force is needed to push it forward.

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

Qingyun Sword Sect.

"Black Stone Sect, what a reclusive sect it is."

Zhao Yushi's face darkened considerably as he looked at the letter Zu Yang had sent back.

Back then, he disagreed with allowing some small sects to break free from control under the guise of reclusive sects when forming the Immortal Alliance!

Now look what's happened; all those old fogies who supported the reclusive sects are dead, leaving him with a mess.

"At this Immortal Sect Conference, I will make sure all those so-called hidden sects get out of here!"

The thought of the tragic scene described in Zu Yang's letter kept Zhao Yushi's anger burning.

"Why haven't we been able to contact the Nine Heavens Pill Sect yet! Is their sect leader dead?!"

Looking at his trembling disciple, Zhao Yushi couldn't help but slam his hand on the table.

Ever since he learned that many mortals had also been parasitized by the Demon Language Worm, he had been trying to contact the people of the Nine Heavens Pill Sect.

But they keep making excuses, and so far no elder in charge has shown up.

"Hmph, so what if they're just worried about wasting a few spirit herbs?"

Zhao Yushi snorted coldly and spoke to the disciple who was delivering the message.

"Tell the people of the Nine Heavens Pill Sect that if their sect leader doesn't come to see me today, I will go to their Nine Heavens Pill Sect myself to find him!"

"The disciple understands."

The messenger disciple nodded hurriedly and quickly left the hall to deliver the message to the people of the Nine Heavens Pill Sect.

"This time, many mortals have been parasitized. If the Nine Heavens Pill Sect doesn't make a statement, the remaining smaller pill sects certainly won't dare to utter a word either."

"Those stingy bastards from the Pill Sect, how many spiritual herbs could such a small group of mortals possibly consume?"

Zhao Yushi's face was somber, and the contempt in his eyes was obvious. Clearly, he looked down on the Nine Heavens Pill Sect.
