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

Within the Qingnan Mountains.

Gu Lin and Chu Luobai followed the direction indicated by the gourd and explored forward.

The cave was dimly lit, and only the sound of two people's footsteps could be heard echoing inside.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Chu Luobai could feel the restrictions pressing down on him growing stronger.

The flow of spiritual energy in the body was blocked, and even the five senses were greatly weakened.

Suddenly, a faint sound of flowing water mingled with their footsteps, quite distinct.

"Shhh."

Gu Lin put his finger to his lips, making a shushing gesture.

Then, he bent down and followed the faint sound of flowing water.

"It's here."

On the ground was a small ditch, it was unclear whether it was naturally formed or man-made.

Red liquid was flowing continuously in the ditch.

“I previously cracked the mechanism on the blood pool, and I was curious about where all that blood went.”

"I never expected that they would all be here."

Gu Lin looked in the direction the blood was flowing and saw a faint green light shining through the cracks in the stone.

"Looks like we've arrived."

The red blood flowed along the ditch.

Bang.

Bang.

As soon as you get close, you can hear a thumping sound like a heartbeat.

Gu Lin subconsciously looked at Chu Luobai, his eyes filled with doubt as if asking a question.

what is this?

Chu Luobai himself didn't know what was inside the Qingnan Mountains, and could only shake his head slightly.

Gu Lin's expression turned serious, and he took the lead in walking towards the green light in the distance.

After bypassing the boulders blocking their path, the scene that appeared before them startled both Gu Lin and Chu Luobai.

Countless vines intertwined, forming a huge maze.

The pounding of a heartbeat could be heard continuously coming from between the vines.

Green and purple lights alternated.

In the alternating light, this labyrinth made of vines seemed to come alive.

A strange feeling spread through Chu Luobai's heart.

"This doesn't look like a place that the Immortal Alliance has ever taken over."

Gu Lin had never seen such a scene before.

"Indeed, rather than saying that the Immortal Alliance has been here, this place feels more like a birthplace of Mahayana demonic cultivators."

The two tentatively moved forward and searched the perimeter, but found nothing unusual.

Under normal circumstances, Chu Luobai would definitely have barged in to take a look.

But the situation is special now. Chu Luobai tried to circulate her spiritual power, but with her current strength, she was only at the Refining Spirit Realm.

Such a level of understanding was not enough to support Chu Luobai in exploring this place, which looked extremely dangerous.

"Fellow Daoist Gu, what do you think?"

Chu Luo raised her chin and threw the question back to Gu Lin.

Having been given a second chance at life, Chu Luobai cherishes this wretched life of hers very much.

Although most of the time I've been living with the mindset of "I've got nothing to lose, so I'll just do whatever comes my way," the current situation is clearly different.

Rushing in will only lead to your death.

On the contrary, Gu Lin was a prodigy since childhood, personally taught by the sect leader of Tianyan Sect, and possessed countless magical treasures.

If he could produce some life-saving magic weapon, we might be able to go and investigate.

"Um..."

Gu Lin looked at the maze made of vines in front of him.

The vines were covered in thorns, and it was unclear whether they were poisonous.

Furthermore, with his cultivation level being constantly suppressed, to be honest, Gu Lin was already having second thoughts.

But after investigating for so many years, wasn't it all to completely eradicate the existence of the Demon Language Worm?

Now, we are finally about to get to the root of the Demon Language Worm.

He's unwilling to give up so easily.

"If I insist on going, would Fellow Daoist Chu be willing to go with me?"

After a moment of inner turmoil, Gu Lin looked up at Chu Luobai.

As a talisman cultivator, one has one's own limitations.

If the maze is full of Demon Whisperers, or beings parasitized by Demon Whisperers.

He can't handle it alone; he'll have to rely on his magical artifacts to escape in a sorry state.

If that's the outcome, then it would be better not to have entered at all.

"Well..."

Chu Luobai revealed a sly smile.

"If Fellow Daoist Gu can ensure my safety, I will certainly do my duty without hesitation."

"..."

Gu Lin understood immediately, but he didn't know what to say.

After all, these days, there aren't many cultivators as straightforward as Chu Luobai.

It's rare to find a sword cultivator who so openly and blatantly takes advantage of him like a sucker.

In this desolate place where cultivation is suppressed, I must ensure her safety.

What's the difference between this and telling yourself to bring out some life-saving magic weapon?

but....

Gu Lin sighed, trying to comfort himself.

At least Chu Luobai is straightforward and won't betray him at crucial moments.

They are a million times better than those body cultivators who promised to live and die together, but then abandoned themselves when faced with a slightly difficult situation.

"Ensuring your safety is no problem, but where we will be after we are safe is uncertain."

Gu Lin took out a bead and waved it in front of Chu Luobai.

This is the enhanced version he gave to Chu Luobai before; it can instantly teleport the two of them a thousand miles away.

It's just that the distance is too far and there are too many uncontrollable factors.

The direction is uncertain, and the location is uncertain.

They might send someone directly to the Tianyan Sect, thousands of miles away, or they might dump them in the lair of demonic cultivators.

In short, it's all up to fate.

Chu Luobai raised an eyebrow; she had experienced the power of this bead in her previous life.

At that time, the two of them were besieged by the people brought by Mu Yurou and hid in the deep mountains.

Since it was inconvenient for Gu Lin to show himself, he simply teleported Chu Luobai to another location.

After using the teleportation bead, the two were directly teleported to the foot of the Qingyun Sword Sect mountain.

If it weren't for the fact that no one was at the foot of the mountain, Chu Luobai would probably have been captured and taken back to the mountain long ago.

Unexpectedly, Gu Lin would still be willing to take this thing out in this lifetime.

Although it's just an upgraded version of the beads in Qiu Lin's hand, the effort put into it is quite different.

"also."

Chu Luobai nodded calmly. This time, sending her back to the Qingyun Sword Sect would be like sending her home early.

Gu Lin was surprised that Chu Luobai agreed so readily, and couldn't help but emphasize it again.

"It could potentially teleport us to the territory of some demonic cultivator, or even to a place far more dangerous than this."

Chu Luo waved her hand dismissively.

"As long as I can stay alive."

Gu Lin looked at Chu Luobai with suspicion, and only when he saw that Chu Luobai really didn't care did he feel a little relieved.

He revealed a human-shaped talisman in his hand, and with the flow of spiritual power, a miniature version of Gu Lin appeared in the wound of the vine maze.

Feeling Chu Luobai's amused gaze, Gu Lin felt somewhat helpless.

"I only have so little spiritual energy left, so I have to use it sparingly. I'll be lucky if I can create a substitute."

As he spoke, he looked at the tiny stand-in in front of him and couldn't help but chuckle.

It's astonishing that a dignified late-stage Dao Integration cultivator, a genius talisman cultivator praised by all, would fall to such a state today.
