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

"I think..."

Inside a restaurant in Qingyun City, Zhao Jingren lay sprawled on the table like a lump of mud.

He had none of the qualities a sword cultivator should have.

"Could we reconsider our walking arrangement?"

On one side, Qiu Lin was also lying face down on the table.

The two of them filled the entire dining table, one on each side.

However, Qiu Lin was genuinely exhausted, while Zhao Jingren felt mentally drained.

He has already entered the Dao Integration stage, yet instead of seizing the time to cultivate, he wastes a lot of time on this meaningless journey.

As Zhao Jingren gazed at the distant Qingyun Peaks shrouded in mist, his desire to return grew stronger.

If it weren't for his master, he should be exchanging sword techniques with his senior brother Zu Yang right now.

After Chu Luobai finished ordering, she handed the menu back to the shopkeeper. Just as she was about to shake her head, she heard Qiu Lin say weakly.

"Senior sister, I think so too..."

"This area is within the Sword Sect's influence zone, so there are definitely no demons or monsters that would dare to cause trouble here."

"Why don't we fly to the Flowing Shadow Sword Sect on our swords first, and then walk the rest of the way?"

Chu Luobai pondered for a moment.

"That's not a bad method after all."

The distance from Qingyun Sword Sect to Liuying Sword Sect is about 700 li, and there are more than a dozen sects of all sizes along this 700-li route.

It's highly unlikely that demons will appear on this road.

On the contrary, they are more likely to have conflicts with cultivators from other sects.

"Then let's follow Junior Brother Qiu Lin's idea and fly over the road ahead on our swords."

"We'll walk when we reach the road between the Flowing Shadow Sword Sect and the Northern Wind Kingdom."

Hearing this, Qiu Lin and Zhao Jingren both breathed a sigh of relief.

It's much better to walk only half the way than to walk the whole way.

As the only town of the Qingyun Sword Sect, Qingyun City is where most of the disciples who have descended the mountain rest and recuperate.

Chu Luobai turned her head and looked through the window at the Tianxing Tower across the street.

Fang Xingyu's matter did not seem to cause much of a stir at Tianxing Tower.

Of course, it's also possible that the protectors of the Hehuan Sect intervened to suppress it.

"So composed..."

At the entrance of Tianxing Tower, many Sword Sect disciples wearing disciple robes were going in and out.

The servants moved among the many guests, and everything was calm and peaceful, with no sign of anything amiss.

But compared to the current calm, Chu Luobai would much rather they take action.

At least she could find out what Fu Cheng'an was doing based on some clues.

"If they don't make a move soon, then when I reach the Tribulation Transcending Realm, I will directly storm into the Hehuan Sect's headquarters."

Chu Luobai made up her mind in her heart.

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

After eating and drinking their fill, Chu Luobai and his two companions bought a lot of supplies in Qingyun City.

Along the way, many disciples recognized Chu Luobai, and some even dared to approach them and inquire about their whereabouts.

When they learned that Chu Luobai and the others were going to the southern border, they all showed expressions of surprise.

A year of worldly experience is neither a long nor a short time.

Most disciples will end their training early and return to the sect.

Therefore, they will choose some relatively close locations.

Aside from Chu Luobai, it's almost impossible to find another disciple who would go to such a remote place as the southern border.

The journey to the Liuying Sword Sect was seven hundred miles long. Chu Luobai rode his sword in front, while Zhao Jingren carried Qiu Lin at full speed.

Even though they walked a lot and stopped a lot, it still took them two whole days to get there.

"According to the map, the Flowing Shadow Sword Sect is located on that mountain."

Chu Luobai retrieved the map.

The three of them had changed out of the Sword Sect's disciple robes and into ordinary robes like those worn by rogue cultivators.

"All in red, are you going to pay respects at the mountain?"

Zhao Jingren looked at Chu Luobai, who was dressed in a dark red robe, with her smooth black hair tied into a high ponytail with a hairband, exuding a free and unrestrained aura.

Compared to the untainted sword cultivators within the Cloud Sect, he was more like a nameless swordsman wandering the mortal world.

Zhao Jingren, who had never seen Chu Luobai dressed like this before, subconsciously covered his face with his hand and turned his head slightly to the side.

"It wouldn't be appropriate to visit other sects wearing the Sword Sect's disciple robes."

"That doesn't sound like a visit; it sounds more like a challenge."

"But you two, with your white jade hair ornaments, hand-painted folding fans by famous artists, and your expensive silk outfits, you're practically screaming 'easy to fool'."

Zhao Jingren and Qiu Lin exchanged a glance; these clothes were specially selected by them in advance.

He was dashing and debonair, yet possessed the bearing of a great sect.

How come Chu Luobai is considered easy to fool?

The three walked towards the direction of the Flowing Shadow Sword Sect. As soon as they reached the foot of the mountain, they saw a huge stone tablet with the name of the Sword Sect engraved on it.

Chu Luobai stepped forward and infused a wisp of spiritual energy into it.

The stone tablet soon emitted a fluorescent glow.

This means that someone within the sect knows of their arrival and will soon come to greet them.

"As a cultivator, one must not rashly enter the territory of another sect, otherwise one will be regarded as an enemy."

Chu Luobai explained to Qiu Lin that teaching her junior brothers these unwritten rules between sects was also one of her responsibilities as their senior sister.

Qiu Lin memorized Chu Luobai's previous actions and words, and then asked.

"What if I accidentally enter the territory of another sect?"

"Try to avoid being discovered by them."

Chu Luobai always felt that Qiu Lin, her junior brother, was gentle on the surface but actually very rebellious.

Otherwise, why would someone ask this question?

"If you are accidentally discovered, reveal your identity as soon as possible and call someone from your sect to rescue you."

"Remember to call me, but don't call your senior sister. By the time she gets there, you'll be long gone."

Zhao Jingren said coolly from the side.

Chu Luobai glanced at the other party, and just as she was about to speak, a surge of spiritual energy came from the mountain.

Then, an old man in a green robe descended from the mountain on a sword; his cultivation level was only at the early stage of the Dao Integration Realm.

"I am Lou Jiming, an elder of the Liuying Sword Sect. May I greet you, fellow Daoists..."

Lou Jiming bowed respectfully, looking at Chu Luobai and the other two with a hint of wariness in his eyes.

The woman in red at the front had an unknown cultivation level, but the oppressive aura she occasionally exuded was astonishing.

The blue-robed man behind him exuded a profound aura and was likely a Dao Integration Realm cultivator. Judging from his appearance, he seemed to be a young master from a noble family who was just starting out in the martial world.

As for the remaining youth, he was also at the early stage of the Divine Refinement realm.

These three... they don't seem to have any good intentions.

"The three of us are all disciples of the same sect. We have been entrusted by someone to come to your sect to ask for something."

Chu Luobai didn't beat around the bush; she stepped forward and directly showed the jade token that the Sword Immortal of Wine had left her.

"This...this is?!"

The moment Lou Jiming saw the jade pendant, his eyes widened suddenly, and his pupils trembled.

"This item is... Could you please allow me to examine it more closely, fellow Daoist?"
