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

Chapter 154 Blood Pool

This man-made space is not very large; it can only accommodate about four or five people.

That pool of blood on the ground occupied almost three-quarters of the entire surface.

The stand-in collapsed at the edge of the blood pool, where a black insect with only specks of gold on the edges of its wings floated up and down.

"This is the first time I've ever seen a demonic insect that actively leaves the body."

Gu Lin's gaze fell on the blood pool, a hint of surprise flashing across his face.

According to his previous research, once the Demon Whisper Worm parasitizes, it is almost as if the parasite is completely bound to it.

Gu Lin had tried many methods, but never succeeded in removing a Demon Language Worm from the parasite.

The fact that this insect can now detach itself from the body demonstrates that it is different from other insects.

"The blood energy in this blood pool is thick, and there are also wisps of spiritual energy circulating within it. It's no ordinary blood pool."

"Fellow Daoist Gu, what do you think?"

Chu Luobai decisively shifted the topic to Gu Lin, since this was his area of ​​expertise.

Gu Lin tentatively took two steps forward, and the blood in the blood pool instantly boiled, with red light flashing around him.

A barrier blocked Gu Lin's way, preventing him from getting any closer to the blood pool.

At the same time, the cave suddenly grew cold.

Unidentified white objects began to fall from the sky, and Chu Luobai subconsciously reached out to catch them.

A snowflake gradually melts into a water droplet in the palm of your hand.

Looking around, apart from that pool of blood, there was nothing else in the entire space.

These snowflakes...

"Fellow Daoist Gu?"

Chu Luobai looked up at Gu Lin, as if asking a question.

Gu Lin stared at the pool of blood before him, his brain working at high speed.

"This blood pool is mysterious; allow me to study it first."

Seeing Gu Lin's serious expression, Chu Luobai stopped talking to avoid distracting him.

She took two steps back and stopped in the passageway she had come from.

This location is outside the cave, so it's considered a safe spot.

If there were any traps in the cave designed to drag intruders down with them, they could escape immediately.

Gu Lin glanced back and instantly realized Chu Luobai's intention.

"This Chu Luobai seems to be running away without any psychological burden whatsoever..."

After muttering a curse to himself, he quickly turned his gaze back and focused his attention on the pool of blood in front of him.

After all, if he were the one watching from the sidelines, he would prioritize retreating to a safer location in the future.

He and Chu Luobai were merely cultivators who happened to meet and shared a common goal.

Do we have to die together?

Behind Gu Lin, Chu Luobai silently released her divine sense and probed into the distance.

But soon, her divine sense was blocked by a restriction, preventing her from going any deeper.

"It seems there really is something in these mountains."

Chu Luobai withdrew his divine sense and sighed inwardly.

In the previous life, the Qingnan Mountains suddenly collapsed without cause, causing quite a stir in both the Qingzhou border and the Southern Border.

In general, this situation is accompanied by a great opportunity, such as the appearance of an ancient secret realm.

Unfortunately, no unusual celestial phenomena occurred after the collapse of the Qingnan Mountains.

Seeing that there was no profit to be made, many sects stopped focusing their attention on the mountain range.

At that time, a major event also occurred: the powerful beings of various sects discovered that the boundaries between the five realms were constantly thinning!

All sects are on high alert, preparing for the impending five-realm war.

Later, the Qingnan Mountains gradually faded from everyone's sight.

However, many independent cultivators wanted to try their luck, but when they got close, they found that the Qingnan Mountains had long been secretly controlled by the Immortal Alliance.

We can't even get close, let alone go inside.

Chu Luobai overheard this by chance while on the run.

Chu Luobai leaned against the wall, thoughts constantly swirling in his mind.

"Immortal Alliance, Frostfrost Sect..."

"What exactly is in the Qingnan Mountains that makes the Immortal Alliance so persistent?"

"The Demon Language Insects are related to families in the Southern Frontier. They want to use the Demon Language Insects to cultivate their own power. Did they already know that the Five Realms Domain would disappear?"

"Such a big event would be difficult for even cultivators who can predict celestial phenomena to foresee. How could the Southern Frontier foresee the future?"

"Wait a minute, predicting the future?"

A sudden thought flashed through Chu Luobai's mind, and he suddenly thought of the most mysterious clan in the Southern Border.

Witch clan.

The southern border is bordered by the Ten Thousand Mountains, and there is very little communication between different regions.

Unlike the sect-based power structure of Qingzhou, the Southern Frontier is divided into factions based on families.

Among these families, there is one extremely mysterious clan called the Witch Clan.

It is said that the people of the Witch Clan are born with the ability to foresee the future, but this ability, which goes against the natural order, causes many of them to have short lifespans.

This clan is also extremely mysterious; every few years they choose to intermarry with another family.

Their criteria for choosing marriage partners are unknown, and even powerful families are not necessarily chosen by the witch clan.

If it was predicted by the witch clan...

Chu Luobai's thoughts were suddenly interrupted by a sound coming from afar.

"It's done!"

Gu Lin stood beside the blood pool, waving to Chu Luobai. His clothes were soaked with blood, and he looked disheveled and pitiful.

"As expected of the prodigy of the Tianyan Sect."

Chu Luobai exclaimed in admiration, and when she walked up to Gu Lin, her gaze lingered for a moment on his soaked clothes.

"Fellow Daoist Gu, you've worked hard."

As she spoke, she raised her hand and gently patted Gu Lin's shoulder, instantly drying Gu Lin's clothes with the spiritual energy she was circulating.

Gu Lin glanced down at his clothes, his expression unreadable.

"It was nothing, but there are definitely some good things hidden beneath this blood pool."

The blood pool in front of them had been drained, and countless complex runes were engraved on the bottom of the pool, one circle after another, covering the entire bottom.

If the blood hadn't been drained, we wouldn't have been able to see this thing at all.

"This is?"

Chu Luobai subconsciously looked at Gu Lin.

"This is a very ancient teleportation array, quite different from the teleportation arrays currently used in Qingzhou Realm. This array is for one-way teleportation."

"In other words, if we get teleported there, we won't be able to come back."

One-way teleportation array...

Chu Luobai recalled the restriction that blocked her divine sense from probing and had a guess in her mind.

She looked up at Gu Lin and found that he was also looking at her.

For a moment, the two looked at each other in silence, a tacit understanding unspoken.

"We still need to travel with the Sword Sect so we don't have to turn back halfway."

Gu Lin smiled and jumped into the blood pool first, starting to activate the array at the bottom.

"It's rare to see a talisman cultivator who dares to directly activate a one-way teleportation array knowing there might be danger ahead."

Chu Luobai deliberately emphasized the words "talisman cultivator" before jumping into the blood pool and standing beside Gu Lin.

A dark red light rose from the runes, instantly engulfing the two of them.
