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

"It's your good fortune to have the old ghost take action."

Feng Xiuquan respectfully brought the old ghost to Feng Xunyuan.

"Old Ghost, how confident are you that you can find what I want by searching souls?"

"What, Second Prince, do you look down on my Soul Searching Technique?"

The old man stomped his cane on the ground, making a dull thud.

"How could that be? We have to rely on Old Ghost for everything today."

Feng Xiuquan's eyes darkened slightly after being humiliated by the old man in front of everyone, but his face remained respectful.

"Feng Xiuquan, the Soul Searching Technique is an act explicitly prohibited by all righteous sects. Aren't you afraid of being punished by the Emperor for doing such a thing?"

The Soul Searching Technique is a method used by demonic cultivators to inject spiritual power into the brains of others in order to find the information they want.

This method is extremely insidious; those whose souls are searched are mostly left with broken souls.

Therefore, all righteous sects regard this method as an evil practice, and will kill anyone found using it.

Feng Xunyuan never expected that Feng Xiuquan would dare to take such a big risk for that private army.

"Feng Xiuquan, your actions will eventually lead to someone standing up for you!"

“If someone really comes to act on behalf of Heaven, then you, with half-traitor blood flowing through your veins, will be the first to die.”

Feng Xiuquan said coldly.

The old ghost stepped forward and placed his pale, withered hand on Feng Xunyuan's head.

The moment the spiritual energy was injected, Feng Xunyuan felt as if his soul was being torn apart.

He gripped the jade pendant tightly in his hand, biting his tongue.

This was left to Feng Xunyuan by his mother before she died. The jade pendant contained a strike capable of killing a peak Dao Integration expert.

At this distance, he was confident he could kill both the old ghost and Feng Xiuquan at the same time.

But doing so would be tantamount to starting a war with the entire Tianyuan Dynasty.

Seeing that Feng Xunyuan was about to lose his grip, Xu Hong mobilized the spiritual power in his body and attacked the old ghost.

The next second, Xu Hong's body was sent flying, smashing through a pillar in the lobby.

Feng Xiuquan waved his hand, his face full of impatience.

“A group of old, weak, sick and disabled people were all taken to the water dungeon, and those who resisted were executed on the spot.”

Can't wait any longer.

Despair filled Feng Xunyuan's heart. He bit his tongue and slowly channeled his spiritual energy into the jade pendant.

At least let Uncle Xu and the others survive.

Bang!

Feng Xunyuan felt a gust of wind brush past his ear, and the power that tore at his soul disappeared inexplicably.

As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw the old ghost pinned to the wall by a long sword.

The old ghost struggled violently, but the long sword remained unmoved.

"Oh, looks like I've come at the wrong time?"

Chu Luobai strolled into the main hall, and the surrounding guards instinctively stepped back.

For no other reason than that, the oppressive aura emanating from Chu Luobai at this moment was no different from that of a demon god in their eyes.

"What...what's wrong with you?!"

Feng Xiuquan also felt that terrifying pressure, and his intuition was screaming at him to leave immediately.

"Isn't this our esteemed Second Prince? It's only been a few days, why are you so afraid of me?"

Chu Luobai flipped his wrist, and the Lingxiao Longsword was summoned. The sword hummed and drew several sword lights in the air, the blade pointing directly at Feng Xiuquan's throat.

Feng Xunyuan struggled to his feet. Without even checking his injuries, he ran to Xu Hong's side.

"Uncle Hong, how are you?"

Chu Luobai glanced at the few people lying in pools of blood, then turned to look at Feng Xiuquan.

"How did you know this place?"

Gudong.

Feng Xiuquan swallowed hard, forcibly suppressing the panic in his heart, and put on his usual smile.

"Haven't seen you for a few days, Fairy Chu's cultivation has advanced further? I suppose you had some fortuitous encounter in the Poet Saint's Secret Realm?"

Seeing the other person's overly familiar manner, Chu Luobai felt inexplicably annoyed.

The sword moved with the will of the heart, and before anyone could react, a bloody mess fell to the ground.

"what!!"

Feng Xiuquan let out a scream as blood gushed from his severed arm.

His entire right arm was completely severed by Chu Luobai's sword.

"Don't make me ask again."

Chu Luobai shook off the blood from his longsword, unleashing the pressure of his Dao Integration Realm cultivation.

In that instant, everyone inside the South Wind Pavilion felt as if they were in an endless, frigid prison.

"They told me."

Despite the excruciating pain, Feng Xiuquan pointed to the two people in the corner and spoke.

Chu Luobai looked up and saw that the two people in the corner looked very familiar. They were the thugs she had let go in the alley before.

"It really is you guys."

For the first time, Chu Luobai regretted not following the system's decision.

If he had killed those two people back then, the secretive organization Nanfeng Pavilion wouldn't have been exposed.

Feng Xunyuan has lost his biggest supporter, making it even more difficult to help him rise to power in the future.

Chu Luobai sighed, and his longsword flashed, killing the two people in the corner before they could even react.

"Indeed, to cut the weeds, you must nip them in the bud."

"Senior sister, what should we do with these guards?"

Qiu Lin stood guard at the door, inwardly marveling at the terrifying pressure of the Dao Integration Realm.

"Seventh Prince, what do you think?"

Chu Luobai sighed, placed his right hand on Xu Hong's shoulder, and slowly channeled spiritual energy into him.

"I have used my spiritual power to protect his heart meridian, so his life is not in danger."

Upon hearing this, Feng Xunyuan breathed a sigh of relief, and his eyes showed more gratitude as he looked at Chu Luobai.

"I am very grateful to Fellow Daoist Chu for saving my life today. However, you injured the prince, and I'm afraid you can't escape responsibility. Why don't you return to the Sword Sect before Father Emperor finds out?"

Seeing the genuine worry in the other person's eyes, Chu Luobai couldn't help but chuckle.

"Your father?"

The world is so vast. If Chu Luobai had previously been somewhat wary of this great scholar in the city, it would be surprising if he hadn't thought of him.

But now he has already entered the Dao Integration Realm.

Unless she deliberately massacres civilians to attract the dragon's aura that protects the nation, no one in the entire dynasty can rival Chu Luobai.

"Fine, I'll go see your father then. I want to ask him how he raised such a fine prince who dared to collude with demonic cultivators in broad daylight."

Upon hearing this, Feng Xiuquan, whose face was already pale from excessive blood loss, turned even more ashen.

However, under Chu Luobai's oppressive aura, he didn't even have the courage to try to escape.

Feng Xunyuan remained silent for a long time before suddenly kneeling down in front of Chu Luobai.

"Uncle Hong is currently seriously injured, and only by recuperating in the city can he have a chance of recovery."

"Back then, my Xu family was slandered by villains. I don't ask for a word of vindication today, but I do ask Fellow Daoist Chu to say a few good words for Uncle Hong so that he can recuperate in the city in peace."

Chu Luobai raised an eyebrow; he was indeed a person who valued loyalty and righteousness.

"It's alright, how much you manage to get this time depends on yourself."
