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

Inside Xunying Studio.

Chu Luobai sat upright at the stone table and told Chu Yi, who was opposite him, his guess.

"Although I don't know exactly what happened to you, I'll venture a guess."

"The blockage of spiritual energy in your body is related to your legs."

Last time, after the destruction of Xunying City, rumors about this city lord spread throughout the entire Qingzhou region.

Many people who had met Chu Yi before, feeling free to release information after his death, felt they had nothing to hide.

Chu Luobai also heard in the tavern that the city lord of Xunying City was unable to move freely.

I originally thought that it was just a tactic by Chu Yi to deliberately appear weak.

Unexpectedly, looking at it now...

It turned out to be true.

Fortunately, Chu Luobai had taken precautions beforehand and prepared a lot of things.

"My loss of cultivation is indeed related to my legs, but this matter involves my family's secrets, so it is inconvenient to tell Fellow Daoist Chu more."

Chu Yi didn't try to hide anything, but simply spoke up to change the subject.

"The reason I invited you here is because of my legs. I have heard that the Southern Border Witch Clan has a Gu worm called Su Hui, which can help me repair my legs."

"Fellow Daoist Chu has followed the Miao Jiang witch clan here. I am willing to provide information related to that witch clan. I hope you can help me bring back the Rewind Gu."

Chu Luobai's eyebrows twitched. She hadn't expected that Chu Yi had already figured out her intention to come to Xunying City.

"I do intend to explore the southern border, but it has nothing to do with the Wu tribe; I have other plans."

Seeing that Chu Luobai was pretending to be stupid, Chu Yi did not expose him, but simply picked up the tea that the puppet had brewed and took a small sip.

"This scourge of the Demonic Language Insects originated from the Frost Frost Sect on the edge of the Southern Border. Fortunately, Fellow Daoist Chu discovered it in time, and then the Azure Cloud Sword Sect joined forces with the Heavenly Evolution Sect and the Nine Heavens Pill Sect to curb the rampage of the Demonic Language Insects."

"As the number one disciple of the Qingyun Sword Sect in this generation, you have come here today to eradicate the Demon Language Insects that often wreak havoc in this area. All indications suggest that the root of the Demon Language Insects is related to the Southern Border Witch Clan, and coincidentally, the Tie family of the Southern Border has a close relationship with the Witch Clan."

"Fellow Daoist Chu, is my guess correct?"

It must be said that Chu Yi's guess was completely correct.

Chu Luobai couldn't help but be curious, since the other party couldn't see anything and couldn't walk at all.

How exactly did they manage to know so much while being confined to this small space?

"Judging from your reaction, fellow Daoist, you're curious how a cripple like me could know so much?"

Chu Yi chuckled, making Chu Luobai feel somewhat embarrassed. It had been a long time since she had felt this awkwardness of having her thoughts exposed.

"I'm just curious, since Lord Chu knows that the Tie family of Southern Xinjiang is related to the Witch Clan, why doesn't he take action himself, instead of seeking out a complete stranger like me?"

If a powerful person suddenly appears and asks you to do something, it's not a good sign.

At least that's how Chu Luobai sees it.

"this..."

Chu Yi gave a wry smile, raised his right hand, and touched the white blindfold covering his eyes with his fingertips.

"Given my circumstances, I am truly powerless to help."

Chu Luobai was speechless, unsure how to respond for a moment.

“I understand Fellow Daoist Chu’s doubts, but I just want to give it a try.”

Chu Yi continued speaking, and the puppet beside him spread out a parchment map on the stone table.

Based on the mountain ranges on the map, Chu Luobai could tell that it was a map of the border between Southern Xinjiang and Qingzhou.

“This map was drawn by me. If Fellow Daoist Chu wants to go to the Southern Frontier, crossing the boundary wall from here is the most appropriate way.”

Chu Yi stretched out his hand and lightly tapped on the map.

Chu Luobai felt a chill run down her spine. The location Chu Yi pointed out was exactly the same as the one she knew before.

Is there anything different about this place?

"Fellow Daoist Chu, do you know how the boundary walls between these five realms were formed?"

Instead of answering Chu Luobai's question directly, Chu Yi asked a question in return.

"this...."

Chu Luobai had never thought about this question.

This realm has existed since she was born, and Chu Luobai has never thought that it would disappear, so naturally she would not delve into how something that has existed since time immemorial was formed.

"I've never thought about that question."

As if he had anticipated Chu Luobai's answer, Chu Yi stretched out his hand, his slender, fair fingers pointing to the boundary marked on the map.

"The various celestial phenomena that change in the sky are actually the flow of weather. Just as there is weather in the sky, there is also earth energy on earth. The spiritual energy that we cultivators often talk about is also a kind of earth energy."

"The earth's energy flows within the earth, and where the earth's energy gathers, it forms the earth's veins."

“The energies of the five realms are different, and they repel each other. In the most severe cases, the energies stagnate and form a thick wall of energies, which is what we see as the boundary walls.”

"...So that's how it is."

Chu Luobai nodded slightly; this was the first time she had ever heard of the concept of 'earth energy'.

"So, where the earth's energy is weak, the boundary is weak, and I can pass through it?"

“That’s a good guess. I originally thought the same as Fellow Daoist Chu, but I later found that the facts were not so.”

Chu Yi shook his head slightly, his long eyebrows furrowing slightly.

"The places where the boundary is weakest are actually the places where the earth's energy is strongest."

Suddenly, a voice came from afar, very faint.

Chu Luobai subconsciously turned around and looked around.

She hadn't sensed anyone else's presence, so where did this voice come from?

Moreover, the voice sounded very familiar.

"Gu Lin?"

Chu Luobai looked at Chu Yi opposite her with some confusion.

"It seems the two of you are truly close friends."

Chu Yi's lips curled slightly, and Gu Lin's figure suddenly appeared at the entrance of the courtyard, which was the very spot where Chu Luobai had first entered.

"I've said it before, Chu Luobai and I are best friends, we're even willing to risk our lives for each other, don't you believe me?"

Gu Lin strode to the stone table and sat down casually between Chu Luobai and Chu Yi.

"Hundred Veins Tea? Not bad, I'm really fortunate to have received Fellow Daoist Chu's help this time."

“…”

Chu Luobai watched this scene speechlessly.

In his previous life, Gu Lin had mentioned that he had some connection with the city lord of Xunying City.

However, when Xunying City was destroyed, Gu Lin had already separated from Chu Luobai, so Chu Luobai was unable to ask him anything.

Looking back now, it seems there was no connection whatsoever...

"Fellow Daoist Chu seems quite curious about our relationship."

In the end, it was Chu Yi who spoke first to explain.

"On the surface, Xunying City was established by me alone, but in reality, it also received help from the president of the Mihai Society and Fellow Daoist Gu Lin when it was established."

"If we're talking about city lords, Fellow Daoist Gu Lin should also be considered the city lord of Xunying City."

"I can't be a city lord. I'd rather be a carefree talisman cultivator."

Gu Lin waved his hand, looking indifferent.
