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

Looking at the blood-red trees before him, a hint of amazement flashed in Gu Lin's eyes.

He had been investigating the Demon Language Insect for many years, but the clues had always gone cold on the southern border.

Unable to break through the boundary, he could not go to the Southern Border to continue his investigation.

For this reason, Gu Lin often wandered around the boundary, collecting bits and pieces of clues.

The Blood God Tree, which can transport mortals to the upper realm, is the clue he collected that may be related to the Demon Language Insect.

However, this Blood God Tree is extremely mysterious. Once it appears, it will take away at least ten miles of mortals and 'ascend' them.

Almost no one who has seen the Blood God Tree up close has survived.

Gu Lin had been investigating for many years, but he had only seen it once from afar.

The giant tree, its entire body a deep red as if drenched in blood, stood between heaven and earth, unforgettable at first glance.

Unfortunately, the Blood God Tree vanished without a trace the moment he got close.

Gu Lin never expected that one day he would be able to observe the Blood God Tree so closely.

Moreover, it was teleported here...

How exactly did Chu Luobai manage to do that?

"That old bastard Qiu Guo may have been possessed by a traitor from the Frost Frost Sect. This tree belongs to him, and those mortals below have been controlled by the Demon Language Insects. They're rushing over to offer sacrifices."

Chu Luobai explained the current situation in just a few words.

“I’m going to meet that old man. You take a look at this Blood Sacrifice Tree; it has a core in that location.”

As he spoke, Chu Luobai pointed to the yellow core at the base of the tree, which was pulsating like a heart.

"And this is for you too."

Gu Lin was puzzled when he touched something cold.

"What is that? Ice...jade?"

Gu Lin frowned. This piece of ice jade looked very valuable, but what use would it be to him?

"This is...."

Suddenly, Gu Lin noticed the black object sealed inside the ice jade.

After seeing the object in its entirety, his pupils suddenly contracted.

"This is the mother worm on Shi Aotian's body, and I've preserved it."

Chu Luobai said calmly, and when she saw the surprise and ecstasy on Gu Lin's face, she couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth.

"Well, did I, a poor sword cultivator, lie to you?"

Having said that, without waiting for Gu Lin's reply, he grabbed Lingxiao and rushed towards Qiu Jun, whose face was gloomy.

Gu Lin, who remained where he was, reached out and touched the tip of his nose, looking somewhat embarrassed.

When did I accidentally blurt out my true feelings?

Could it be that Chu Luobai, this sword cultivator, holds a grudge against me?

He also wanted to establish a good cooperative relationship with this highly skilled and mysterious swordsman.

After all, he had a feeling that he and Chu Luobai would definitely get along well.

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

Outside the isolation formation.

Looking at the Blood Sacrifice Tree completely surrounded by the white light wall, Qiu Lin couldn't help but feel worried.

"Senior sister, you must be safe."

"wrong..."

Qiu Lin quickly shook his head. How could something happen to his senior sister, who was so powerful?

On the contrary, I am too weak to be of any help.

Unable to kill that damned person who had taken over his father's body.

"Forget it, I'll settle accounts with the person behind this when I'm stronger in the future."

Pulling herself back to reality, Qiu Lin leaped and landed atop the sedan chair surrounded by the crowd.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

"Roar..."

The mortals around them suddenly let out some unintelligible roars.

They wouldn't have reacted at all if I had been standing nearby before...

As soon as they approached the sedan chair, these mortals looked up, their eyes flashing with murderous intent, wishing they could tear him to pieces.

"It seems that Senior Sister was right, there is no ordinary person in this sedan chair."

Qiu Lin stood in the very center of the sedan chair, looking at the countless hands reaching out to him, and felt a sudden wave of nausea for no reason.

Anger flared in his chest; these people had once been kind, ordinary people.

Now, however, it has been manipulated into this state by an insect...

"Damn it."

Qiu Lin gave a low shout, drew his longsword, and directly blew the entire top of the sedan chair off!

The red gauze curtain fluttered down into the crowd, driving the people around the sedan chair into an even more frenzied frenzy.

Qiu Lin quickly grabbed the thin figure sitting in the center of the sedan chair and leaped to the top of a towering building to the side.

Strange to say.

The sedan chair was attacked, and even the top of the chair was blown off, yet the person inside was still sitting upright and completely still.

Qiu Lin was puzzled that the boy didn't resist at all when Qiu Lin took him away.

The person beside him was dressed in a bright red robe, resembling a fiery red wedding gown.

The large robe made the person's figure appear exceptionally thin.

Qiu Lin sensed it when he made the arrest; the person wrapped in the wide robe was frighteningly thin, and even the bones looked a bit bony.

"The fabric of this dress is unique to the Southern Frontier, and it's also the fourth princess's..."

Thinking of this, Qiu Lin felt a jolt, and his right hand, which was gripping the person, began to tremble slightly.

He lifted the veil covering the man's face, and a familiar face came into view.

"Ah Xue..."

As autumn approaches, breathing becomes labored.

The girl in front of me had her eyes closed and her face covered with a thick layer of white powder, but it still couldn't hide the dark circles under her eyes.

The girl's breathing was extremely weak and intermittent, as if she would perish at any moment.

"how come...."

Qiu Lin quickly and carefully pulled the person into his arms, his eyes filled with heartache.

Even as she was leaving, Qiu Xue was still tugging at her clothes, asking when she would be back...

At that time, Qiu Xue said that she would help her elder sister handle state affairs and would never let those families in the southern border bully their Qiu Kingdom again.

But now....

Qiu Lin clenched his fists and carefully searched his storage ring for the medicine that could save lives.

Before leaving the sect, Chu Luobai gave him a pill.

Even if someone is on the verge of death, it can protect their heart and keep them alive for half a month.

With trembling hands, Qiu Lin placed the pill into Qiu Xue's mouth. Only after Qiu Xue swallowed it with difficulty did he feel a little relieved.

"Ah Xue, what exactly happened to you...?"

Looking at this once cheerful girl, now she appears haggard.

Qiu Lin felt as if his heart was being torn apart, and he resented himself even more for not being able to come back sooner.

Why didn't you rush back immediately when they didn't reply?

Suddenly, Qiu Lin's gaze fell on Qiu Xue's open collar.

The glaring red marks stood out starkly against Qiu Xue's pale skin.

Qiu Lin paused for a moment, and only after a long while did she muster the courage to pull open her collar.

The girl's thin body was covered with countless red bite marks.

Just looking at it is shocking.

These bite marks are so small that only an insect could leave such marks.

Moreover, these bite wounds show no sign of healing.

Qiu Lin could sense that a strange power was lurking on the wound, constantly absorbing Qiu Xue's life force.

"this...."

The thorny situation left Qiu Lin completely at a loss as to how to proceed. He could only look up at the figure inside the formation, locked in combat with Qiu Jun.
