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

"What did you say?"

Chu Luobai's pupils trembled slightly. He didn't care that they were still inside a cave and threw Fu Cang out of the spirit beast space.

The moment Fu Cang landed, his collar was grabbed tightly by a pair of strong hands.

What came into view were Chu Luobai's amber eyes, and the anger lurking in them was like a volcano, ready to erupt at any moment.

The oppressive aura unique to the Mahayana realm poured forth like a flood bursting its banks.

Without any cover, he pressed down on Fu Cang.

Even Fu Cang couldn't help but catch his breath.

Immediately, an unprecedented look of excitement appeared on his face.

"That's right, that's right, that's it."

He raised his hand and grabbed Chu Luobai's wrist, his red eyes unfathomable, with a vortex of madness hidden within them.

"What do you know?"

Chu Luobai stared intently at Fu Cang, his aura transforming into a chilling killing intent that swept over him.

"Fu Cang, tell me."

Fu Cang's breathing gradually became rapid.

The feeling of being enveloped in murderous intent made him tremble uncontrollably, and an uncontrollable excitement welled up from the bottom of his heart.

The achievement never brought me great joy.

That's right, he just loves Chu Luobai's murderous gaze.

It made him feel like he had returned to the Azure Dragon Clan, back to the most primitive part of his clan.

Only the strong are worthy to stand shoulder to shoulder with him in this world.

"I don't know where this chill comes from, but I know how to dispel it."

Seeing Chu Luobai's eyes grow even deeper, Fu Cang smiled with satisfaction.

He wouldn't be willing to share such confidential information for free with anyone else.

"Don't worry, you were going to that place anyway."

"I want to go too?"

Chu Luobai loosened her grip slightly, a hint of doubt flashing across her face.

My connection with this Azure Dragon lies solely with the Vermilion Bird.

"You mean Suzaku?"

"Yes."

Fu Cang subtly increased the pressure on his hand, gripping Chu Luobai's wrist, which was much thinner than his own.

I gently rubbed my thumb against the delicate skin on the back of my wrist twice.

"?"

Chu Luobai noticed the unusual thing on her wrist and subconsciously looked up, only to meet a pair of smiling red eyes.

"..."

"The Vermilion Bird Clan..."

Seeing that Chu Luobai did not resist, Fu Cang's smile deepened. Just as he was about to speak again, a sharp pain suddenly shot through his hand.

Chu Luobai flipped her wrist and slapped Fu Cang's hands aside.

A silvery-white sword light illuminated the cave, making it as bright as day for a moment.

A chill ran down Fu Cang's spine, and he quickly channeled his demonic power to retreat.

The sword light descended from above, leaving a deep sword mark on the ground.

"You're lucky, but don't let it happen again."

Chu Luobai glanced coldly at Fu Cang and put away the long sword in her hand.

"How could that be, my master?"

Despite his hands being nearly severed, Fu Cang showed no anger whatsoever; instead, his smile widened even more.

Hearing the other person's slightly raised tone, Chu Luobai felt goosebumps all over her body, and a thought couldn't help but pop into her mind.

"Why don't we kill this azure dragon and use the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl to conceive a normal azure dragon?"

Anyway, the system only specified the species for subduing the demon race, but didn't specify which one it had to be.

"...?"

Sensing the renewed killing intent emanating from Chu Luobai, Fu Cang blinked, looking slightly innocent.

It seems I haven't had a chance to do anything this time?

"Okay, let's get down to business."

Fu Cang raised his hands, coughed twice, and made a gesture of surrender.

"This chill can be countered by the tail feathers behind the Vermilion Bird."

"Suzaku tail feathers..."

Chu Luobai subconsciously recalled the appearance of the Vermilion Bird that day; its tail feathers were indeed bright and beautiful, as if flames were burning fiercely.

"However, I wonder where your master and sect leader got involved with these things."

"The cold air that can be suppressed by a single tail feather normally, they probably have four tail feathers."

"Four tail feathers..."

Chu Luobai murmured, "In the previous life, Chu Wang suddenly left the Qingyun Sword Sect and did not return for a long time. Could it be that he went to look for the Vermilion Bird's tail feathers?"

According to the rumors from the previous life, Chu Wang's last appearance was also within the territory of the Huo Luo Kingdom.

This Fu Cang didn't appear much in my previous life.

But given his status...

Given that all the most outstanding young talents in Qingzhou in the previous life had fallen for Mu Yurou, Chu Luobai didn't think Fu Cang would be an exception.

She didn't know there was only one possibility.

Fu Cang was well hidden by Mu Yurou, or perhaps the news hadn't reached him before his death.

Thinking about it this way, could the chill emanating from the sect leader be related to Fu Cang?

"A Vermilion Bird will only have four tail feathers in its lifetime. Once they are plucked, the Vermilion Bird will die."

"According to the previous agreement, with the death of Suzaku, everything left behind by the Suzaku clan will belong to you."

"You don't need to worry about this anymore."

That was indeed the case according to the original agreement.

Chu Luobai suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

The chaos in the Fire Kingdom in the previous life was probably for the purpose of reviving the Vermilion Bird.

Suzaku suffered a severe blow prematurely in this life, and Song Xingye was now firmly in his grasp.

Perhaps we can get rid of that Vermilion Bird at minimal cost.

It's a pity about the system task...

Chu Luobai turned her head and glanced at Mu Changfeng, who was surrounded by the Rootless Fire.

However, compared to his master, it was just a system reward and nothing important.

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

Outside the cave.

Zhao Yushi looked up at the night sky, where the Milky Way stretched across the horizon, adorned with countless stars.

People often say that those who seek immortality and enlightenment are looking for ascension to heaven.

Once upon a time, Zhao Yushi also devoted himself to seeking the Tao.

However, after his master passed away and his senior sister was infected by an unknown cold energy, Zhao Yushi suddenly seemed to lose all his strength.

The idea of ​​seeking ascension suddenly vanished without a trace.

Where will they go after ascension, and what kind of circumstances will they encounter?

Zhao Yushi couldn't figure it out.

After his senior sister and his friend Mu Changfeng voluntarily sealed themselves in this cave, Zhao Yushi visited them countless times.

From the very beginning, I regretted not being able to stay by my senior sister's side, which led to her being harmed by the demonic corpse's contingency plan.

The pain that followed was immense. He was already a Mahayana cultivator, an omnipotent being in the eyes of the world, yet he couldn't even save his own senior sister.

Until now, I am completely numb and desperate.

Zhao Yushi looked at the starry sky and pondered that question once again.

What is there after ascension? Even if one can stand on the stars, is one omnipotent?

As soon as Chu Luobai stepped out of the cave, he saw Zhao Yushi looking up at the starry sky, his eyes filled with a blankness that was completely out of character for him.

"Master."

Zhao Yushi subconsciously turned around, the confusion in his eyes instantly disappearing, replaced by his usual calm.

A calm that defies easy comprehension.

"You guys are out?"

Looking at Fu Cang following behind Chu Luobai, Zhao Yushi's eyes darkened slightly, but he didn't say anything.

"Your master's matter should be discussed at length; there's no need to rush."
