Qingnan Mountains.

Gazing at the endless mountain range that stretched all the way to the southern border, Chu Luobai and Gu Lin's eyes unconsciously fell on the stand-in.

The stand-in didn't stop at all during the journey, crashing directly into the mountain range.

Following the mountain path, we headed towards the Frostfrost Sect.

Gu Lin looked at it and felt a pang of regret.

If I had known the Frost Frost Sect was so disorganized, they wouldn't even bother to cover it up...

Why is he still agonizing over this for so long?

"Fellow Daoist Gu seems quite surprised?"

Chu Luobai looked at Gu Lin with great interest, and a fleeting look of regret flashed across his face as he realized she hadn't missed the opportunity.

"Back in the day, Frost Frost Sect was considered a first-class sect. But after the previous sect leader disappeared without a trace, Frost Frost Sect plummeted in status."

"I thought that moving the whole family here would lead to a different future."

"Unexpectedly, it has directly become a demonic sect. Truly, the world is unpredictable."

Gu Lin spoke softly, his voice filled with emotion.

"The Frost Sect was once a top-tier sect?"

In the events of the previous life, the Frost Cold Sect did not play a significant role.

Even when Gu Lin mentioned it to him, he completely omitted this sect.

It's unclear whether they've truly been sidelined or if the high and mighty Immortal Alliance couldn't bear to see their subordinates suffer such a fate and deliberately blocked the news.

However, Chu Luobai had never heard that the ancestors of the Frost Frost Sect had ever been wealthy.

Since Gu Lin mentioned that the Frost Frost Sect was once a first-rate sect, it's understandable.

The Frost Frost Sect back then should have been no less powerful than the Azure Cloud Sword Sect today.

To have such a large sect reduced to this state is truly astounding.

He must be said, he's quite a talent.

"You do not know?"

Gu Lin raised an eyebrow, looking at Chu Luobai with some surprise.

That look seemed to say, "There are things you don't know about Qingzhou Realm?"

"I know very little about the Frost Frost Sect, but Fellow Daoist Gu seems to know quite a lot about it?"

Chu Luobai's indifferent expression left Gu Lin speechless for some reason.

His original intention was to tease Chu Luobai, but unexpectedly...

"Actually, I don't know much either, but the fact that they moved their entire clan back then was so astonishing that I couldn't help but ask around."

"But after the Frost Frost Sect moved to the border of this realm, it seemed to have disappeared without a trace."

"Even at the Immortal Sect Conference, they just send a random disciple to participate."

"Back then, the Frost Frost Sect was extremely popular with its Frost Frost Technique. Its sect leader even reached the peak of the Tribulation Transcending stage and was half a step towards Ascension. Even the elder sects of the Immortal Alliance had to give way to him."

"Now, it has fallen into such a state of decay that it is hard for anyone to believe."

A once-mighty sect with a leader possessing peak Transcending Tribulation strength... has become what it is today.

If Chu Luobai hadn't known Gu Lin's character—that he wouldn't lie about such things—she wouldn't have believed it at all.

"Where did that Frost Frost Sect leader, who was halfway to ascension, go?"

Upon hearing this question, Gu Lin's expression became meaningful.

"disappeared."

“It’s normal for such monster-level cultivators to not appear for decades, but one day, a rumor suddenly spread that the Frost Frost Sect Master’s soul lamp had gone out.”

No one knows where this rumor originated, but even after it spread throughout the entire Qingzhou region, the sect leader still did not appear, and then...

Gu Lin's lips curled slightly, a hint of disgust flashing in his eyes.

"The rumors became facts, and all the sects had their eyes on the Frost Frost Sect as a piece of fat meat."

A sect with vast resources, yet lacking top-tier combat power to maintain order.

What awaits it?

It's already quite good that the Frost Frost Sect was able to move to this remote area and leave a small foundation.

"Could it be that the old imperial advisor deliberately spread the demonic language insects in order to take revenge on those sects from back then?"

Gu Lin shrugged, his tone indifferent.

"Who knows? When it comes to revenge, even the most hypocritical ones in the Immortal Alliance can't escape it."

"Since we're already here, we might as well take a good look at what the Frost Frost Sect is up to."

While the two were talking, the substitute had already arrived at the entrance of the Frost Frost Sect.

The entire Frost Frost Sect was built against the mountain and was much larger than the Black Stone Sect.

Looking at the buildings scattered across the mountain, Chu Luobai secretly made a guess.

When the Frost Sect moved away, it must have left behind a considerable amount of resources. A rough estimate suggests that at least one hundred people lived here.

Although it cannot compare to the Azure Cloud Sword Sect, it is far superior to a small sect like the Flowing Shadow Sword Sect.

Such a sect is now desolate and exudes a strong aura of death.

It looks like no one has lived here for a very long time.

Chu Luobai's gaze kept sweeping over the substitute, whose movements had become even more agile since entering the territory of the Frost Frost Sect.

Now I don't know where they've gone.

"This way."

Gu Lin pointed to an inconspicuous building in the corner and said.

His consciousness remained inside the substitute, allowing him to accurately detect its location.

The building's doors had been pushed open, and the ground was covered in a thick layer of dust, with a series of stumbling footprints visible in the dust.

Even though there was no wind in the courtyard, Chu Luobai inexplicably felt a chill in the air.

The room was open, and it connected to a man-made cave.

Torches were lit on both sides of the cave, their flickering flames barely illuminating a small area around them.

"It's either underground caves or mountain caves. Does the Frost Frost Sect have some kind of peculiar fetish?"

Looking at the cave in front of him, Chu Luobai subconsciously thought of the cave near the Black Stone Sect.

She couldn't help but rub her temples and complain.

From their first meeting until now, this was the first time Gu Lin had seen Chu Luobai show such emotional fluctuations, and he couldn't help but cover his mouth and chuckle.

"Fellow Daoist Chu, how many people have you seen who do bad things openly and honestly in open spaces?"

"A rat in the gutter will naturally choose a place that suits it, won't it?"

The two walked deeper into the cave.

The cave was much longer than the two had imagined. After walking for about fifteen minutes, it was still pitch black ahead.

"The stand-in has stopped."

Gu Lin, who was walking in front, raised his hand, signaling Chu Luobai to stop.

"It seems he's lying down? No, it's the mother insect that's voluntarily leaving her body."

Gu Lin couldn't help but frown. The divine sense he placed in the substitute body was limited, and it had been suppressed and consumed by the mother insect's soul.

He is not entirely sure about the situation around the stand-in.

"It seems the mother insect has returned to her nest."

Chu Luobai sighed softly, and the two exchanged a glance before deliberately suppressing their auras and walking forward.

At the end of the passage was a spacious man-made cave.

In the very center of the cave was a sizable pool of blood.

The mother worm, which had detached itself from the substitute, was now floating up and down in the pool of blood...
