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

"I'm sorry, Junior Sister Fang."

Chu Luobai continuously circulated his spiritual power, forcing that strange spiritual energy into the meridians of Fang Xingyu's palm.

Lingxiao sword slashed across Fang Xingyu's palm, and blue blood flowed continuously down the tip of Lingxiao sword, eventually entering the white porcelain bottle that Chu Luobai had prepared beforehand.

After throwing the two demonic cultivator corpses into the river, Qiu Lin quickly walked to Chu Luobai's side. "Mmm-hmm."

Seeing the blue blood flowing from Fang Xingyu's palm, his eyes widened instantly, and his expression was somewhat incredulous.

"Blue blood, Junior Sister Fang, what is this...?"

This world is not only home to humans, but also to a vast number of demons.

However, the demon race is good at disguise, and when they mingle in human territory, they often disguise themselves as ordinary people.

Only the blood and demonic power in her body could reveal her identity.

Although Qiu Lin didn't know what bloodline the blue blood represented, he was certain that it was definitely not human blood.

"She's a human being, just unlucky."

Chu Luobai caught all the blue blood and only moved the porcelain bottle away when red blood started flowing from the wound.

"Alright, take her back."

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

As night deepened, two dark figures landed on the rocky beach.

The woman on the left is dressed in red, her skirt fluttering in the night wind, like a red lotus blooming in the darkness.

"Huh? Didn't they say they found the person the sect leader wanted?"

Her phoenix eyes surveyed her surroundings. The atmosphere on the deserted, rocky beach was somewhat eerie.

"Hou Xin, what kind of work are your men doing?"

The man called Hou Xin also frowned and looked around.

The pungent smell of blood in the air made him immediately sense something was wrong.

"Someone snatched it away."

Hou Xin released his divine sense to investigate, his expression changed slightly, and he rushed downstream.

"Hey, wait for me!"

Su Susu let out a soft cry and quickly flew after him.

On a rock downstream, two bodies, their skin whitened from being washed away, were stuck in a crevice.

The clothes he was wearing were clearly those of Hou Xin's Tianxinglou.

"Murder and body disposal? What kind of people are so insidious?"

Su Susu stood far away with a look of disgust on her face.

Hou Xin raised his hand, and two streams of dark demonic energy entered the corpse.

The memories of the two demonic cultivators before their deaths coalesced into concrete images in mid-air.

When the sword flashed, both Su Susu and Hou Xin were startled.

"Sword cultivator."

"Oh dear, even people from legitimate sects are starting to become ruthless."

The two people in the picture most likely used disguise techniques.

Both of the deceased disciples were at the Refining Spirit Realm.

A sword cultivator capable of instantly killing two disciples must be at least at the mid-stage of the Void Refinement realm.

Could it be that Tianxing Tower has been exposed?

Hou Xin's expression turned cold. He closed his eyes to examine the items he had stored in Tianxing Tower and found that they were not damaged.

"There's nothing wrong with Tianxing Tower. They were just unlucky and ran into two sword cultivators."

Su Susu raised her eyebrows slightly, sneered inwardly, and did not refute.

"I will report this matter to the sect leader separately."

"That's fine then. Don't drag me into it if you do a bad job."

Su Susu gathered her hair behind her and turned to leave decisively.

Hou Xin remained where he was, his brows furrowed. He looked up at the Qingyun Sword Sect, shrouded in mist in the distance, his eyes filled with doubt.

At the foot of Qingyun Mountain.

Fang Xingyu slowly woke up, clutching her head.

"Where...is this?"

She looked around blankly, and only when she saw the huge rock with the four characters "Qingyun Sword Sect" engraved on it did she come back to her senses.

"Is this the way back to the sect?"

"Wasn't I drinking at Tianxinglou earlier? Hiss..."

Fang Xingyu clutched her throbbing, dizzy head, unable to recall how she got there.

Ultimately, she could only blame herself; she was drunk.

"Fortunately, this is also inside the sect's grand formation, so there won't be any demonic cultivators or demonic creatures here."

Fang Xingyu breathed a sigh of relief and mustered her strength to fly towards the main peak of Qingyun on her sword.

On the mountain path, Qiu Lin looked at Fang Xingyu flying overhead with envy.

"Senior sister, didn't we agree to fly up the mountain on swords? Why are we walking again?"

"I'm exhausted from the fight just now, and I don't have the strength to control my sword."

"Tonight the moon is bright and the stars are few; taking a walk is a good way to cultivate oneself."

Chu Luobai walked ahead, listening to Qiu Lin's complaints, and couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips into a smile.

No wonder Master always liked to take me up and down the mountain back then; it's like tearing someone else's umbrella apart after getting soaked in the rain.

It's even more exhilarating than breaking through to a higher realm.

...........

"Senior sister, I'm going to rest now..."

Upon arriving at Xiaoyao Peak, Qiu Lin couldn't wait to head towards his room.

He felt completely exhausted after walking all that way.

"Well, have a good rest."

As soon as he said goodbye to Qiu Lin, the gourd appeared on Chu Luobai.

"Master! I can finally get out. I was so suffocated on this journey."

The gourd's small form floated in mid-air as she circled around to Chu Luobai's front, her face beaming with excitement.

"I think I just smelled the scent of a merman! And a very pure one at that!"

"this?"

Chu Luobai took out the porcelain bottle containing the blue blood and waved it in front of the gourd.

The gourd flew around the porcelain bottle twice, then came close to it and took a deep sniff.

"That's right! The blood of the Western Sea merfolk, this aura... it's the blood of the merfolk royal family!"

"This kind of bloodline is extremely rare even in the Western Sea where merfolk roam. How did you obtain it, Master?"

The gourd was full of curiosity. As an earth spirit, if her true form was not outside, she could only vaguely sense things happening outside through Chu Luobai.

She knew there was a merman's aura around Chu Luobai, but she didn't know the origin of this aura.

"Yeah, it depends on luck."

Chu Luobai wasn't quite sure why Fang Xingyu, an ordinary disciple of the Sword Sect, possessed the bloodline of the Merfolk royal family.

Moreover, it seems that Fang Xingyu herself was unaware of this.

In his previous life, when the Myriad Spirits Secret Realm opened, Fang Xingyu by chance saved a mermaid who had gotten lost in the secret realm.

However, due to their special status, merfolk cannot be kept as spirit pets unless a life-or-death contract between master and servant is formed.

No one knows what kind of bewitching potion Fang Xingyu was given by that merman, but she actually disregarded the sect rules and secretly kept that merman in the back mountain.

Later, when the truth came out, Fang Xingyu was punished with lightning. On the verge of death, she learned that the merman had secretly made a death pact with Mu Yurou.

In utter despair, he died of depression.

"Hehe, then you're in luck, Master."

The gourd blinked its big eyes and stared at the white porcelain bottle for a long time before suddenly having an idea.

"By the way, Master, when I went to the Western Sea with my former master, I heard that the Merfolk had experienced internal strife."

"Although the cause of the internal strife is unknown, the result was that one branch of the Merfolk royal family voluntarily left the Western Sea and has not been heard from since."

"Those merfolk even asked their former master to search for the missing branch."

Chu Luobai's pupils contracted slightly. She really didn't know that the merman in the Myriad Spirits Secret Realm could be related to the merman royal family of the West Sea.

This time I made a lot of money.
