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

"You mean there's something at the foot of the Qingnan Mountains?"

Gu Lin was somewhat surprised.

He had previously suspected the Qingnan Mountains and had wanted to go up there to investigate many times.

However, the Qingnan Mountains are surrounded by poisonous gas, and even with his mid-stage Dao Integration Realm cultivation, it would be difficult for him to resist the corrosive effects of this poisonous gas.

Furthermore, the only safe entrance to the mountain was occupied by the Frost Frost Sect.

If we go up the mountain from the territory of the Frost Frost Sect, we are very likely to alert them.

Given all these factors, even if Gu Lin wanted to go up the mountain, he would face numerous difficulties.

He was already prepared to force his way into the Frostfrost Sect, but unexpectedly he encountered Chu Luobai...

"However, as far as I know, the Qingnan Mountains are shrouded in miasma. How does Fellow Daoist Chu plan to get up there?"

Gu Lin asked tentatively.

He began to wonder if this skilled swordsman knew some secret passage to the mountain.

Chu Luobai looked at the map, then slid his finger across it, landing on the location of the Frost Frost Sect.

"Then naturally we'll go from the Frostbite Sect."

Gu Lin's brow twitched. Entering someone else's sect haphazardly could lead to a report to the Immortal Sect Alliance.

He didn't go in because he was worried about causing trouble for the Tianyan Sect.

"Fellow Daoist Chu, aren't you afraid of punishment from the Immortal Sect Alliance?"

"Punishment?"

Chu Luobai raised an eyebrow and pointed ahead at the stunt double who was walking briskly.

"We eradicated a demonic sect that disguised itself as a righteous sect. The Immortal Alliance doesn't even want to thank me, let alone punish me?"

"The Demonic Sect, this..."

Gu Lin hadn't expected Chu Luobai to be so direct.

Although the Imperial Preceptor and Qiu Jun had intricate connections with the Frost Frost Sect, this does not necessarily mean that the Frost Frost Sect was a demonic sect.

"What is this? Didn't Fellow Daoist Gu also discover this? The Frost Frost Sect has been interfering in mortal affairs without authorization and raising a large number of Demon Language Insects to wreak havoc on the mortal world."

As Chu Luobai spoke, she looked at Gu Lin with a playful expression.

"Could it be that Fellow Daoist Gu is now trying to tell me that he thinks the Frostfrost Sect is some kind of prestigious and righteous sect?"

Upon hearing these words, Gu Lin instantly understood.

Chu Luobai intends to directly and firmly attach the name of the Demonic Sect to the Frost Frost Sect.

"That's definitely not some prestigious or orthodox sect."

"Fellow Daoist Chu has rid the people of a scourge and deserves to be commended by the Immortal Alliance."

Gu Lin readily agreed, figuring that Chu Luobai would take care of things if the sky fell.

Even if the Immortal Alliance had any doubts, would they dare to punish both the Azure Cloud Sword Sect and the Heavenly Evolution Sect, two major sects, at the same time?

The two tacitly reached a consensus, their gazes falling on the stunt double in the distance.

As the two had expected, the double sped off directly toward the Qingnan Mountains.

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

On the other side, the Qingyun Sword Sect.

Zhao Yushi looked at the illusory figure conjured by Xu Sheng, the elder of the Nine Heavens Pill Sect, with a forced smile.

"Elder Xu, it's been a long time. Your sect leader and elders of the Nine Heavens Pill Sect are still as busy as ever."

Xu Sheng ignored Zhao Yushi's sarcastic remarks and instead offered his congratulations with a smile.

"I've heard that things haven't been peaceful at the Qingyun Sword Sect lately. Elder Zhao, you should no longer be addressed as Sect Leader Zhao."

"They say a new broom sweeps clean, but I never expected that this fire would reach my Nine Heavens Pill Sect."

Zhao Yushi snorted coldly, too lazy to waste time with the old fox Xu Sheng's endless chatter, and cut straight to the point.

"For such a major event as the rampant Demon Language Insects, it's rather unreasonable for your Nine Heavens Pill Sect, as the number one righteous pill sect, to send only two disciples who can't even hold their own?"

These alchemists have always been driven by self-interest. Even in matters that should be handled by cultivators, they will try every means to squeeze some profit out of them.

Otherwise, pretend you can't see anything.

"Look at what Sect Leader Zhao is saying, what do you mean by 'can't hold up the facade'?"

"The disciples sent out this time are the most favored by the elders among the younger generation of our Dan Sect disciples."

"How come once you're in Master Zhao's fold, you become someone who can't hold up the door?"

Xu Sheng asked in a cool tone, "How long is the lifespan of a cultivator? And how long is the lifespan of a mortal?"

If one of the disciples they sent out were accidentally parasitized by that demonic insect, it would be fine if they were rescued, but if they couldn't be rescued...

Is the Nine Heavens Pill Sect really going to lose a promising disciple for the sake of some mortals who will change generations within a hundred years?

Only a sect like the Qingyun Sword Sect, whose minds are filled with nothing but sword techniques, would do something so laborious and thankless.

He not only does it himself, but he also forces other sects to follow suit.

Simply ridiculous!

How could Zhao Yushi not know Xu Sheng's little scheme?

He immediately changed the subject and jumped to another topic.

"I heard that the secret realm in the north of Qingzhou is about to open. My disciples from the Qingyun Sword Sect are tied up with the Demon Language Insects and may not be able to go."

"At that time, I will trouble Elder Xu Sheng to find other sects to team up with your sect's disciples."

"you!"

Xu Sheng was taken aback when Zhao Yushi, that old bastard, threatened him with the secret realm. His face darkened.

"Hmph, do you think that just because my Dan Sect disciples have lost a few sword cultivators, they can't venture into the secret realm?"

Zhao Yushi shrugged, with an expression that said, "I'm helpless too."

"I never said that. It's just that the places where the spiritual herbs your sect wants grow are not places that ordinary people can go."

“My disciples of the Qingyun Sword Sect have other things to do, so naturally we don’t have the energy to accompany you.”

The reason why the Nine Heavens Pill Sect became the number one pill sect in Qingzhou was not only because of its superior pill refining techniques.

Another reason is that they possess many rare and precious herbs.

The rarer the spiritual herb, the more dangerous the place where it grows. Some spiritual herbs can only grow in one or two specific secret realms.

And those secret realms are all fraught with danger.

These disciples of the Pill Sect are not good at fighting, so if they want to pick those precious spiritual herbs, they need cultivators skilled in combat to escort them.

However, the places the Nine Heavens Pill Sect likes to go are all extremely dangerous.

Even if they offered a high price to team up with disciples from other sects, among all the sects, only the disciples of the Qingyun Sword Sect had the strength and courage to accept the offer.

Therefore, no matter how unwilling Xu Sheng was, he had to consider the future of his disciples.

"Sect Leader Zhao's consideration is indeed comprehensive. This matter concerns the peace of the entire realm, and our Nine Heavens Pill Sect naturally cannot sit idly by."

"The two disciples we sent out some time ago were just the vanguard."

"The necessary medicinal materials have been prepared, and our Dan Sect will send five more disciples to assist."

"I also hope that the disciples of the Sword Sect will not overwork themselves."

Zhao Yushi sneered inwardly.

"Then thank you very much, Elder Xu. I will inform my disciples of the Sword Sect that the Pill Sect's support will arrive within three days, so they don't need to worry."

"..."

After disconnecting the projector, Xu Sheng's face instantly darkened.

The disciple beside him stepped forward and asked in a low voice.

"Elder, should we really send someone over to rescue those mortals?"

Xu Sheng glanced coldly at his disciple, his tone full of anger.

"If I don't go, will you be the one to gather the spiritual herbs the sect needs from now on?"
