Sword Lake Blessed Land.

After questioning Ye Shuang, Chu Luobai and Gu Lin both fell into a long silence.

They had only speculated that the Immortal Alliance was using humans to refine Gu poison.

Unexpectedly, the people within the Immortal Alliance were planning something far more terrifying than they had imagined.

"The people of the Immortal Alliance used the magic of the Witch Clan to parasitize the Mother Worm into Ye Shuang's body. After Ye Shuang was tricked into coming here, she has been sealed in the Mother Bag ever since."

"His lifelong cultivation and soul were transferred to the mother worm's body by the secret method of the witch clan. In order to wear down Ye Shuang's soul, it kept releasing offspring worms to absorb the souls of other cultivators, causing these souls to devour each other within the mother worm's body."

"In the end, this mother insect will become a rarer existence than any rare and precious natural treasure used to help people cultivate."

"A treasure with no usage threshold, containing the entire cultivation of a cultivator at the Mahayana Realm or above."

Chu Luo chuckled.

"Those old bastards are really crazy about ascending to heaven."

Unfortunately, Ye Shuang's memories of the Immortal Alliance were all erased.

Chu Luobai and Gu Lin had little idea who was behind this, or how they had made contact with the Wu tribe in the Southern Frontier.

"Fellow Daoist Chu, when would you be interested in taking a trip to the Southern Frontier?"

Gu Lin's eyes were deep and dark. When he asked Ye Shuang earlier, Ye Shuang told them that they could use the Blood Sacrifice Tree to create an array that could cross different realms.

Moreover, there is a section of the border wall on the border of Qiu Kingdom that is very thin.

As long as they can find that place, Gu Lin can take Chu Luobai with him to the Southern Frontier to continue the investigation.

"The Witch Clan..."

Chu Luobai lowered his eyes, his mind filled with countless thoughts, and looked up at Ye Shuang in front of him before asking.

"How can I help your soul escape from this mother worm?"

"..."

Ye Shuang stood there blankly, and just when Chu Luobai thought that the other party's soul was too damaged to answer, he slowly opened his mouth.

"Destroy the mother insect."

"it is good."

Upon hearing this answer, Gu Lin stared wide-eyed at Chu Luobai, his eyes filled with disbelief.

“Fellow Daoist Chu, you only need to spend a little bit of spiritual power to make that female insect your own.”

"The spiritual power contained within can directly help you break through to the Mahayana realm."

"I know."

Chu Luobai nodded, his gaze falling on the white mother insect in his palm.

She could still feel the restlessness of the divine soul emanating from the mother insect.

The souls trapped within were constantly tearing at each other, trying to become the sole soul among the mother insects.

Click.

The next second, the white mother insect shattered into a cloud of powder.

Ye Shuang raised her head, and a glimmer of clarity suddenly appeared in her dull eyes.

"Thank you."

"The Wu tribe is related to the Tie family of southern Xinjiang..."

After leaving those words, Ye Shuang's divine soul completely disappeared from the spot.

"The Tie family... now we have a lead to investigate."

Chu Luobai hadn't expected to receive such a pleasant surprise.

"An unparalleled treasure that can help you break through to the Mahayana realm, in exchange for this clue."

"Alas, Fellow Daoist Chu, you've suffered a huge loss."

Gu Lin sighed deeply, his words filled with heartache.

“If you had used the true Soul Searching Method from the beginning, Fellow Daoist Gu, I wouldn’t have needed to destroy the Mother Worm to obtain this clue.”

"dont you agree?"

Chu Luobai looked at Gu Lin thoughtfully, a slight smile playing on her lips.

If a genuine soul-searching method had been used, Ye Shuang's soul wouldn't have lasted this long.

Gu Lin talked about searching souls, but what he actually did could only be considered 'soul guiding'.

"I don't understand what Fellow Daoist Chu is saying. If it were me, I would definitely stay and help myself achieve Mahayana."

Gu Lin shrugged and looked away.

"Indeed, it's a real shame no matter how you look at it."

Chu Luobai nodded in agreement, "How about we go to the Tie family and ask for some compensation?"

After discussing it for a while, the two decided to return to Qiu Kingdom first.

They had just left the Sword Lake Blessed Land when they encountered a female cultivator.

The female cultivator was startled by the sudden appearance of the two and instinctively gripped the spear behind her.

"Who are you, and why are you trespassing into my Biyun Sect!"

Biyun Sect...?

Hearing the name, Chu Luobai felt it was somewhat familiar. After searching his mind for a while, he finally matched the name with something from his memory.

Isn't this the sect that Fu Cheng'an belonged to before he fell into demonic ways?

“Fellow Daoist, I am Gu Lin, a disciple of the Tianyan Sect. I have mistakenly entered your sect for some reason. I would like to ask you to do me a favor and introduce me to the elders of the Biyun Sect.”

"I also want to atone for my recklessness today."

Gu Lin bowed slightly with his hands slightly bent. With his sincere expression and outstanding appearance, he didn't look like a bad person at all.

The female cultivator opposite him looked Gu Lin up and down, and was about to speak when a sound came from afar.

Two cultivators, dressed in robes similar to those worn by the female cultivator before them, hurried over.

As soon as he got close, he pushed the female cultivator aside.

One of the cultivators even gave the female cultivator a look of utter disgust.

"That disciple was unruly; he didn't offend either of you, did he?"

"I am Ling Changming, a disciple of the Biyun Sect. This fellow Daoist must be Gu Lin from the Tianyan Sect?"

One of the disciples recognized Gu Lin's identity, and a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes.

"It is indeed I. That fellow Daoist was merely asking a routine question and did not do anything to me."

Gu Lin wore his usual gentle smile.

"Fellow Daoist Gu, there's no need to defend her."

When the female cultivator was mentioned, Ling Changming's expression instantly darkened.

"Why has Fellow Daoist Gu suddenly appeared here?"

"I accidentally teleported here while experimenting with talismans, which has caused you trouble, Fellow Daoist Ling..."

Just as Ling Changming and Gu Lin were praising each other, the female cultivator who had started the conversation had already quietly walked away.

She seemed to have gotten used to her fellow disciples' doubts about her, or perhaps she had become numb to it.

Chu Luobai stared curiously at her back.

The Eye of Insight given to her by the system had not yet expired, and she could see that the female cultivator's soul seemed to be somewhat incompatible with her body.

Or perhaps, her soul was split in two.

Simply put, it's a common form of dissociative identity disorder.

"That's quite unusual."

"What are you looking at?"

Gu Lin's voice beside her brought Chu Luobai back to her senses.

Gu Lin followed Chu Luobai's gaze and saw the female cultivator's figure disappear around the corner.

"What's wrong with that fellow Daoist?"

"You two need not worry about her; she has always been like this."

Ling Changming snorted coldly, making no attempt to hide his disgust for the female cultivator.

"Please come this way, both of you. Our sect elders have long wanted to meet the prodigies of the Tianyan Sect."

"Fellow Daoist Ling is too kind."

Gu Lin smiled faintly and followed behind Ling Changming.

Chu Luobai gazed thoughtfully at the buildings atop the distant mountain.

First, the sect leader's disciple was seduced by a demoness from the Hehuan Sect and killed by the Drunken Sword Immortal. Then, Fu Cheng'an became the sect leader of the Hehuan Sect.

The entanglement between the Azure Cloud Sect and the Joyful Union Sect is truly profound...
