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

"Xiao Xuancheng, a disciple of the Qingyun Sword Sect, hereby swears a great oath against my inner demons: if I utter a single lie today, may my inner demons enter my body and my cultivation be completely destroyed!"

A dark red light surrounded Xiao Xuancheng, and as he finished speaking, the red light spots instantly disappeared into his body.

This is a sign that the oath to overcome inner demons has been successfully fulfilled.

The elite disciples standing below were dumbfounded.

There is not a single righteous cultivator in this world who is not afraid of inner demons.

Once inner demons arise, in severe cases, demonic energy enters the body, causing the complete loss of cultivation and leading to a fall into the demonic path; in milder cases, the cultivation level regresses, and years of hard work are destroyed in an instant.

Neither situation is optimistic.

At first, they thought that Xiao Xuancheng's vow to swear an oath against his inner demons was just to intimidate Chu Luobai.

Unexpectedly, they were serious...

"Xiao Xuancheng, you really dare to do that."

Zhao Jingren cursed inwardly and pinched a sound transmission talisman to send it towards Wenling Peak.

Mu Yurou followed suit and spoke up.

“I also saw Senior Sister Chu snatch the spirit beast that Senior Brother Jiang was forming a bond with. If I am lying, may my inner demon enter my body and my cultivation be completely destroyed.”

In an instant, all the elite disciples turned to look at Chu Luobai.

That look seemed to say, "Others have sworn oaths of self-denial to identify you, what do you have to say in your defense?"

Even the elders at the entrance looked at Chu Luobai with heavy eyes.

Gao Hong was very satisfied with this.

He first looked at Zhao Yushi, who was standing on his right.

"Elder Zhao, do you still think Chu Luobai is innocent?"

Zhao Yushi frowned and remained silent.

The "Great Oath of the Inner Demon" is indeed unsolvable.

Even if he wanted to help Chu Luobai out of this predicament, he was powerless to do so now.

Then, Gao Hong turned to look at Chu Luobai and spoke coldly again.

"Xiao Xuancheng and Mu Yurou have already made a solemn vow to overcome their inner demons. Chu Luobai, what else do you want to say in your defense?"

Chu Luobai pursed her lips, barely suppressing the urge to roll her eyes.

Let's not even talk about how Mu Yurou is only at the Qi Refining stage and doesn't even deserve to develop inner demons, yet she has the nerve to make a great oath against inner demons.

As for Xiao Xuancheng, he truly made the most of his own abilities.

What's there to be afraid of if a cultivator already has inner demons?

"If you have nothing to say, then hand over Chenghuang..."

Gao Hong was interrupted by a gust of wind before he could finish speaking.

In the center of the square, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth gathered, transforming into specks of dark red light that surrounded Chu Luobai.

"Chu Luobai, a disciple of the Qingyun Sword Sect, hereby swears a great oath against my inner demons: if I, Chu Luobai, have ever stolen any opportunity from a fellow disciple, may my inner demons enter my body, my cultivation be completely destroyed, and I be forever condemned to eternal damnation!"

In an instant, countless dark red rays of light entered Chu Luobai's body.

The great oath of inner demons has been fulfilled!

.......

Quiet.

The entire Qingyun Hall fell into a deathly silence.

Everyone was stunned. Yet another oath fueled by inner demons!

Two disciples in succession made a great oath against their inner demons, and the contents of the oath were contradictory.

This situation has never occurred before, even at the very beginning of the Sword Sect's establishment.

Not to mention the disciples who were watching the show, even the elders at the gate hesitated.

If Chu Luobai is guilty, how dare she so decisively and quickly make a vow against her inner demons?

If Chu Luobai is innocent, then how do we explain Xiao Xuancheng's oath to his inner demons?

It seems that the Sword Sect's younger generation still has some capable individuals who can break this deadlock.

Zhao Yushi cast an approving glance at Chu Luobai, and a sense of appreciation for her talent also rose in his heart.

"This disciple has sworn a solemn oath to prove my innocence. I beg the sect leader to investigate."

Chu Luobai's loud voice broke the silence in the arena.

Using the same trick twice gets boring.

Veins bulged on Gao Hong's forehead, and his right hand clenched into a fist inside his sleeve.

The carefully laid trap was thus broken.

How dare Chu Luobai!

"Hmph, you might fool others with that trick, but don't try to fool me!"

"The Great Oath of the Heart Demon is ineffective against cultivators who have already developed heart demons. Since you dared to steal others' opportunities, you must have already developed heart demons and will fall into the demonic path sooner or later!"

"Today I will eliminate this threat to the sect and expel you from the sect!"

Is this some kind of desperate, irrational behavior? Are they planning to stop reasoning altogether?

No wonder he's been the leader for so many years, but he's still just an acting leader.

Chu Luobai sneered, and before Gao Hong could make any move, she used her spiritual power to amplify her voice.

"I have broken through to the mid-stage of the Dao Integration Realm today, and my cultivation ranks among the top five elite disciples!"

"According to the Qingyun Sword Sect's rules, expelling an elite disciple from the sect requires the consent of at least seven elders, and expelling the top five elite disciples from the sect requires the sect leader's consent."

"Elder Gao, what gives you the right?"

"Because I'm the sect leader!"

Gao Hong's tone was icy, and the pressure of the Mahayana stage aura emanating from him landed simultaneously with his words.

The disciples below could not withstand the wrath of a Mahayana cultivator. They felt a sharp pain in their chests and couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

Even Xiao Xuancheng frowned and turned pale, barely able to stand.

Among the many disciples, only Chu Luobai remained expressionless, standing indifferently in place.

"Has Elder Gao been acting as sect leader for too long? Does he really think he's the sect leader now?"

"If you insist on expelling me from the sect today, then I, Chu Luobai, will risk my life to knock on the sect leader's cave and ask the sect leader in seclusion what wrong I have done!"

"you!"

Chu Luobai's two sentences thoroughly enraged Gao Hong.

An even stronger oppressive aura enveloped the entire hall, leaving the elite disciples too weak to even lift their heads.

Gao Hong activated his spiritual power, and a flash of silver light appeared on the horizon. His long sword shrieked as it hurtled towards Chu Luobai's back!

Zheng!

The two longswords collided in mid-air, and the sound that erupted almost echoed throughout the entire Qingyun Sword Sect.

The shockwave sent the paving stones and disciples flying through the air.

"Zhao Yushi, what do you mean by this!"

"Could it be that you're trying to protect Chu Luobai!"

Gao Hong glanced at Zhao Yushi beside him, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

Zhao Yushi simply smiled and raised his hand to recall his sword.

“I had forgotten that Elder Mu had temporarily entrusted me with the authority of the Enforcement Elder before he went into seclusion.”

"Now that Chu Luobai has mentioned it, I do remember. As the Enforcement Elder, I cannot allow a disciple of the sect to be wronged in front of me, can I?"

Within the Qingyun Sword Sect, there are numerous elders. However, only seven of them possess cultivation levels above the Mahayana stage.

Gao Hong and Zhao Yushi are both among them, but Gao Hong is only in the early stage of Mahayana, while Zhao Yushi is in the late stage of Mahayana.

It would have been fine if Zhao Yushi had remained silent before, but now that he has taken the initiative to stand up for Chu Luobai, even Gao Hong cannot act unilaterally.

Seeing this, the other elders quickly stepped forward to mediate.

With the evidence already conclusive, they indeed could not openly protect Chu Luobai.

However, given the current uncertain situation, as elders, even for the sake of the sect's future, they could never allow Gao Hong to expel a young prodigy who had already broken through to the mid-stage of the Dao Integration Realm and was expected to break through to the Mahayana Realm in a fit of anger.

Moreover, the other side was just a disciple with low cultivation who had barely entered the Qi Refining stage.

If Xiao Xuancheng hadn't intervened, no one would have paid any attention to this matter.

If Chu Luobai is really expelled from the sect, and other sects find out about it, the Qingyun Sword Sect will probably become a laughing stock in the entire Qingzhou region.

"Thank you, Elder Zhao, for redressing my grievances."

Chu Luobai bowed respectfully to Zhao Yushi from afar, smiling warmly.

Click.

In an instant, the floor tiles beneath Gao Hong's feet turned into countless fragments.
