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

"These lurking insects dare to cause trouble at my Tie family's house."

Tie Ao looked at Chu Luobai and Gu Lin, who seemed to be fighting amongst themselves, and snorted coldly.

"Today, I will show you the consequences of offending the Tie family."

...

"I'll deal with Tie Ao, how about Fellow Daoist Gu handles the rest of the Tie family?"

Chu Luobai glanced into the distance; several black dots were rapidly approaching them from mid-air.

It must have been Tie Ao who, after discovering their whereabouts, summoned the rest of the Tie family.

Gu Lin seemed still immersed in the question of why he had been discovered, and simply nodded silently, his gaze still fixed on the broken array on the ground.

Seeing Gu Lin's distraught appearance, Chu Luobai was speechless.

What exactly is it about this concealment formation that attracts him?

"Xun Nan, just find a place to hide yourself."

After arranging for the others, Chu Luobai rose into the air, facing Tie Ao, whose eyes were gloomy.

"At least he knew to make arrangements for his affairs beforehand; he's not entirely stupid after all."

Tie Ao said coldly, his eyes scanning Chu Luobai up and down.

"It seems that you don't need to make any arrangements for your funeral, since the Tie family will be wiped out of the Southern Frontier today."

Chu Luobai flicked her longsword, letting the night wind blow her robes.

Under the moonlight, her eyes were frighteningly bright.

The slight upturn of her lips only added to Tie Ao's confusion.

"Hmph, quite the boast."

"Do you know what has become of those who once tried to take advantage of my Tie family?"

"I don't know. I only know that you, Tie Ao, will die here today."

Chu Luobai was too lazy to waste words with Tie Ao.

Originally, she had some questions she wanted to ask Tie Ao.

But ever since she saw what was in that so-called treasure pavilion, she felt that Tie Ao deserved to die.

In the underground palace beneath the treasure pavilion, there is a tangled mass of tree roots.

Embedded within the tree roots were corpses, one after another.

The skeletons were very small, and it was immediately obvious that they were the remains of children and women.

Among the pile of bones, a skeleton dressed in a bright red wedding gown stands out.

Chu Luobai instantly understood upon seeing the wedding dress: it was Qiu Lin's second elder sister, who was marrying into the Tie family.

It's pitiful that she was sent to this hellish place after being arranged into a marriage.

The tree roots were also visibly withered, no wonder the Tie family was so eager to marry a second princess.

Such a family, built upon the countless bones of women and children, should be returned to dust and vanished from this continent.

"furious."

Tie Ao's gaze was deep and serious. Chu Luobai's reaction must mean he had seen something in the treasure pavilion.

Whether for the sake of secrecy or for the future of the Tie family, Chu Luobai must die here today!

Suddenly, an extremely powerful spiritual force erupted in mid-air.

Following behind Gu Lin, the Tie family elders, who were being completely outmaneuvered by him, subconsciously looked up.

All that could be seen was a dazzling blue light in the sky, resembling two moons hanging in the heavens.

"The patriarch has made a move."

"Anyone who dares to covet members of the Tie family will surely perish here!"

"You Tie family members really do share a penchant for talking too much."

Dozens of talismans flew out from behind Gu Lin, instantly creating a prison on the ground, trapping the Tie family elders who had been distracted on the battlefield.

With a flick of his spiritual power, the talismans surrounding him instantly exploded.

The Iron Clan elder trapped inside had a drastic change in expression and hurriedly turned to defend himself, his spiritual energy shield just beginning to form.

The exploding spiritual energy sent them flying.

The spiritual energy shield that hadn't yet formed on his body was instantly shattered into pieces.

"The first principle of cultivation is that you must not talk too much or get distracted when fighting, understand?"

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

In mid-air, Tie Ao heard the explosion and instinctively turned his head to look.

Seeing the elders who used to be so domineering in front of him now being beaten to a pulp by a cultivator, he felt a mix of emotions.

"How did my Tie family raise such a bunch of good-for-nothings?"

"The Tie family head actually has the mind to care about other people?"

Chu Luobai raised her sword, and the clouds and mist enveloped her, completely stirring up the atmosphere.

"You think you can destroy the entire Tie family with just one sword?"

Tie Ao retreated several meters. In the exchange just now, he had not gained any advantage whatsoever.

Just who is this female sword cultivator?

Despite being only at the Dao Integration Realm, the power of his sword techniques far exceeded what a Dao Integration Realm cultivator should possess.

"if not?"

Chu Luobai countered with a question, a cold glint in his eyes, waiting for the clouds beside him to transform into a sky full of flowing clouds.

The clouds gathered and transformed into a giant longsword, slashing towards Tie Ao.

"Little tricks."

Tie Ao's spiritual power surged, and his right hand materialized into a giant blue hand, directly meeting the white giant sword in the air.

However, the counterattack he had envisioned did not materialize.

The giant blue hand teetered precariously beneath the white sword; before it could even last a second, cracks had already spread across its surface.

Click.

After a crisp sound, the giant blue hand shattered.

"This! How is this possible?!"

Tie Ao didn't consider his cultivation to be top-tier, but he was still at the mid-stage of the Dao Integration realm, and with the accumulation of experience over the years...

That's enough to make him a powerful figure in the region!

But now, he has been beaten to this state by an unknown female sword cultivator.

"Just who are you?!"

Tie Ao's eyes widened, and he instinctively tried to dodge, but he couldn't escape no matter what he did.

Even though the white giant sword's movements appeared extremely slow to him, he couldn't move his body an inch.

He could only watch helplessly as the white giant sword slashed down at him.

At this moment, Tie Ao felt only despair.

This situation only ever occurs between two cultivators whose cultivation levels differ greatly.

That feeling of knowing the other person is about to attack, yet your body instinctively freezes under the influence of someone whose cultivation level far surpasses your own...

The white giant sword slammed down on Tie Ao, and the previously noisy Tie family fell silent.

Everyone stared in disbelief at this scene. The patriarch, who was once invincible in their eyes, had been defeated just like that.

The giant white sword loomed over the mountain behind the Tie family, as if it had already proclaimed the fate of the Tie family.

"Tsk tsk, Fellow Daoist Chu's move is truly impressive."

Gu Lin sat on the roof, looking up at the sky, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes.

"They were clearly acting together, yet their cultivation levels are increasing. I really wonder what amazing magical treasure Fellow Daoist Chu possesses..."
