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

Do you really think I can't do anything to you?

A murderous glint flashed in Gao Hong's eyes. If Zhao Yushi hadn't stopped him, he probably would have attacked Chu Luobai again.

"What do you mean by this, Sect Leader? I was just thanking Elder Zhao for helping me out of that predicament. Respecting one's teacher is the responsibility of a Sword Sect disciple."

Chu Luobai blinked, her tone puzzled, completely unconcerned about Gao Hong's anger.

Seeing this, Zhao Yushi couldn't help but shake his head.

"Truly youthful arrogance."

However, upon further reflection, he realized that if he had broken through to the mid-stage of the Dao Integration Realm before the age of thirty, he would probably have been even more arrogant than Chu Luobai is now.

If you're not reckless when you're young, what kind of youth is that?

"I now, as the leader of the Sword Sect, hereby order Chu Luobai, a disciple of Xiaoyao Peak, to guard the Sword Forest for ten years, starting today."

Gao Hong knew that he had no chance of expelling Chu Luobai from the sect today.

After a moment's thought, he decided to use his status as the sect leader to directly intimidate people.

Sending Chu Luobai to guard the Sword Forest and placing him in a relatively harsh location was at most a way for him to settle personal scores.

As long as you don't lose face, no one else has much to say.

Chu Luobai curled her lips, cursing the shameless old man in her heart, then straightened her clothes and calmly retorted.

"This disciple is dissatisfied and does not wish to guard the Sword Forest."

Upon hearing this, Gao Hong felt his breath catch in his throat and his blood rush to his head again.

"In today's chaos, you, Chu Luobai, bear the greatest responsibility. Guarding the Sword Forest has already shown you leniency. What else do you have to complain about?!"

"Today's chaos is not solely my fault, so why should I be the only one punished?"

Chu Luobai raised her head and looked arrogantly at Xiao Xuancheng, who was standing beside Gao Hong.

"So, Xiao Xuancheng is innocent just because he maliciously slandered his fellow disciples?"

“If we’re going to guard the Sword Forest, I, Chu Luobai, will guard it for ten years, and Xiao Xuancheng should guard it for a hundred years.”

"Only then will the disciple agree."

"Do I, a sect leader, need the approval of a mere disciple to do my things?"

Gao Hong's face was gloomy. Chenghuang was the last array eye of the Qingyun Sword Sect.

He was determined to get his hands on it no matter what.

"My God, what on earth happened here?"

"So many elders?"

"Could it be that demonic cultivators have attacked the mountain?"

At the entrance of the Qingyun Hall, a group of disciples suddenly surged forward.

Zhao Jingren, who had collapsed to the ground, barely managed to sit up. When he saw the leader, he felt a sense of relief and then completely lost consciousness.

Zu Yang stood at the entrance and raised his hand to greet them.

"Go check on the disciples immediately, and take any injured ones to receive treatment as soon as possible!"

Then, he strode to Chu Luobai's side, clasped his hands together, and respectfully bowed to the elders.

"Elders, Zu Yang is late. Please punish me!"

Why is Zu Yang here?

Chu Luobai frowned slightly and subconsciously looked in the direction of the group of elite disciples.

Could it be Zhao Jingren?

In his past life, when he confronted Mu Yurou, he failed to come up with a good strategy and was forcibly taken away with the yellow egg after only a few words.

I had prepared in advance this time, but the longer I delayed, the more variables there were.

Before the elders on the platform could speak, Chu Luobai spoke first.

"It's not that I'm disobedient, but Xiao Xuancheng and I both made a solemn oath against our inner demons, and one of us must be lying!"

A vow made by inner demons?

With just one sentence, he drew the attention of all the disciples who had flocked to the Qingyun Hall square.

"I know I did not lie, so I am naturally unwilling to accept that unfair punishment."

"Unfair punishment?"

"What's going on?"

"I thought it was demonic cultivators attacking the city."

The disciples quickly began to whisper among themselves, their gazes sweeping back and forth between Chu Luobai and Gao Hong.

"Now I have an idea. Those who suffer from inner demons will inevitably have their cultivation level affected. I, Chu Luobai, am willing to challenge Xiao Xuancheng in the sect competition!"

"When the time comes, it will be clear who is held back by their inner demons on the arena!"

Inner demons?!

Upon hearing these two words, many disciples' eyes widened in surprise.

“…”

"Under the influence of inner demons, cultivators are indeed unable to exert their full strength."

“That’s a really good approach.”

"The sect competition is just around the corner, so it won't take more than a few days."

The elders who were still trying to persuade Gao Hong nodded in agreement after hearing Chu Luobai's suggestion.

Zhao Yushi understood, and after glancing at Chu Luobai, he spoke leisurely.

“If disciples develop inner demons, it is also a dereliction of duty on our part as elders.”

"Xiao Xuancheng and Chu Luobai are both geniuses of our Sword Sect. It is a loss for our Sword Sect if either of them develops inner demons."

"Now that we have a chance to explain ourselves, I think the sect leader shouldn't interfere, right?"

"If we insist on going our own way, we may hurt the feelings of our disciples."

Gao Hong's gaze swept over the disciples who had filled the entire square, curiously looking in his direction.

Originally, he only summoned elite disciples, intending to use Chu Luobai to establish his authority and let these people know who was in charge within the Qingyun Sword Sect.

Unexpectedly, Zu Yang, who had not descended the mountain for many years, summoned so many disciples and even let Chu Luobai speak first.

Zhao Yushi was clearly not going to back down and was determined to protect Chu Luobai.

After thinking for a long time, Gao Hong took a deep breath, trying to calm his anger, and slowly spoke.

"Since you're not satisfied, then I'll grant you your wish one last time."

"Whoever loses in the sect competition between you and Xiao Xuancheng will have to guard the Sword Forest, how about that?"

Chu Luobai's lips curled slightly, and he raised his hands above his head, saying loudly.

"The sect leader is wise."

He then turned to look at Xiao Xuancheng and continued speaking.

"Senior Brother Xiao, disciples who develop inner demons should enter the Sword Forest to guard and temper their character for a hundred years in order to eliminate their inner demons. Don't you think so?"

Xiao Xuancheng's expression turned slightly cold. He hadn't expected that the deadly trap he had set would be broken by Chu Luobai.

Now that Gao Hong has agreed, he can only nod in agreement.

The disciples watching were all taken aback.

When they first heard Chu Luobai mention inner demons, they were wondering which elite disciple was so unlucky.

Now it seems that it was either Xiao Xuancheng or Chu Luobai.

Moreover, even the elders couldn't tell which of the two had developed inner demons.

"This farce ends here. Zu Yang, now that you've come down the mountain, take care of your affairs."

With that, Gao Hong flicked his sleeves and flew away.

Xiao Xuancheng followed closely behind and flew away. Seeing this, Mu Yurou and Jiang Yuzhe also secretly mingled into the crowd.

"Not bad, you have the demeanor of your master back then."

Zhao Yushi patted Chu Luobai on the shoulder, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes.

"Sigh, how come all the good things happen to Mu Changfeng?"

After a sigh, he turned and left with a flourish.

The elders below, except for Tian Huachi, also said a few words to comfort Chu Luobai.

Chu Luobai answered each question until the several large statues were seen off.

"Not bad, to be recognized by so many elders."

"I suppose even if I don't come down the mountain today, you still have a way to escape."

Zu Yang stood beside Chu Luobai and praised her.
