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

Chapter 138 Is Qiuyue no longer Qiuyue?

Although in the past, there have been demonic cultivators in Qingzhou Realm who relied on devouring divine souls to improve their cultivation.

However, absorbing a divine soul requires a special method. After that demonic cultivator was besieged by the righteous path, his cultivation technique was completely lost.

Logically speaking, it's unlikely that someone of Shi Aotian's level would have access to that lost martial arts technique.

Moreover, regardless of whether it is righteous or demonic cultivation, once they attack a cultivator's soul, they will attract attacks from multiple forces.

No matter how you look at it, this is a losing proposition.

Moreover, what Shi Aotian is doing now is more troublesome than directly devouring a divine soul.

The more steps you take to do something wrong, the easier it is for someone to discover your wrongdoing.

Shi Aotian couldn't possibly be unaware of such a simple principle.

Chu Luobai pondered in his heart as the wind howled through the tunnel, and he could faintly hear some painful screams.

"Is someone down there?"

Thinking of the Buddha statue that had been moved, Chu Luobai quickened his pace.

Deep within the tunnel lies a spacious underground space.

In the center of the space is a circular altar.

On the altar, Princess Qiuyue lay supine, her wide robes sliding down the edge of the altar.

Green vines coiled and stretched around, as if worshipping the people on the altar.

Chu Luobai stood at the entrance of the passage, his gaze constantly sweeping over the strange altar.

The walls were covered with green vines, one end of which wrapped around the altar.

Various brightly colored fruits hang from the vines.

Even though there was no wind in the space, the fruits were still swaying incessantly.

It was as if something was constantly twisting and turning, causing the fruit to sway along with it.

"Vines, strange fruits, and mortals parasitized in large numbers..."

All the things from the Hundred Flowers Sect and the Black Stone Sect appeared here one by one.

All of this unfolded in the same way as in the previous life.

If left unchecked, Qiu Kingdom will become the most severely affected place in the entire insect plague.

"But what exactly does Shi Aotian want to do?"

Chu Luobai was a little confused and conflicted.

If she had known more in her previous life, she wouldn't be so clueless in this one.

"Royal sister..."

Qiu Lin looked at Qiu Yue on the altar, his eyes filled with heartache.

Suddenly, Qiuyue sat up on the stage.

Chu Luobai and Qiu Lin were both startled and subconsciously took a step back.

The vines on the ground suddenly sprang up with her movements, countless vines intertwining like venomous snakes.

Layer upon layer, the autumn moon is wrapped around it.

Then, the fruit hanging on the wall began to shake violently.

A dark red light shimmered on it.

"What are they doing now?"

Chu Luobai couldn't help but frown. From within the cocoon formed by the vines came Qiuyue's painful screams.

"Queen!"

Upon hearing this voice, Qiu Lin couldn't help but want to step forward, but the person beside him had already gone first.

With a flick of his longsword, Chu Luobai unleashed several sword energies in an instant.

The tangled vines were instantly severed by the powerful sword energy, revealing Qiuyue trapped inside.

Aunt Fang, who had been standing in the corner, was the first to rush forward and help the swaying Qiuyue up.

Looking at Qiuyue's pale face, I felt a pang of heartache.

"I thought you weren't coming."

Aunt Fang seemed to have anticipated Chu Luobai and Qiu Lin's arrival, and said without turning her head.

Seeing this, Chu Luobai stopped trying to hide it and walked closer to the altar.

“If I hadn’t come, your master would probably have been replaced.”

Why would my elder sister do this?

Qiu Lin walked to the altar and carefully observed Qiu Yue.

At this moment, Qiuyue's face was deathly pale. She leaned against Aunt Fang and fell into a coma.

"The princess did it for His Majesty and the Qiu Kingdom."

Aunt Fang sighed deeply and said in a deep voice.

Chu Luobai walked to the wall and casually cut open the fruit closest to her.

pat.

A black mass fell from the fruit and wriggled on the ground as Chu Luobai crawled towards it.

"As expected, it's bugs again. How disgusting."

The sword flashed, slicing the insect in two.

"For the sake of Qiu Kingdom? I have never heard of a ruler of a country putting such a worm into the bodies of his people for the sake of his country."

Chu Luobai sneered, raised her eyes to look at Aunt Fang, and waited for her explanation.

"So you all knew all along."

Aunt Fang remained silent for a long time before slowly recounting what had happened in Qiu Kingdom after Qiu Lin left.

After Qiu Lin left, the Qiu Kingdom fell into a brief period of chaos.

After all, when a country's crown prince goes missing, there will always be forces that want to make a move.

Having foreseen all of this, Qiu Yue suppressed the internal strife with an iron fist and showed signs of replacing Qiu Lin as the crown prince.

They lived peacefully for a while, until a family in the southern border region, perhaps having received some news, suddenly requested a marriage alliance.

Furthermore, he specifically requested that the remaining Qiuyue and Qiuxue marry into the Tie family, otherwise he would refuse to continue trade between the two sides.

When Qiuyue and her ministers had been discussing for a long time, preparing to reopen the trade routes.

The Tie family's sudden detention of a large number of Qiu Kingdom merchants has led to a growing outcry of discontent within Qiu Kingdom.

The Tie family also took the opportunity to demand that the fourth princess be married into their family first.

Just then, the old emperor suddenly went up the mountain alone and brought back a cultivator from the Frost Frost Sect, whom he honored as the Imperial Preceptor.

With the cultivator's intervention, the Tie family quickly backed down and released all those they had detained.

"Cultivators are interfering in mortal affairs, and no one in the Frostfrost Sect is doing anything about it?"

Logically speaking, cultivators' excessive involvement in worldly affairs disrupts the balance between the two sides.

Their sect should intervene to stop it.

The Frost Sect is located near the Autumn Kingdom, and even though their cultivators have all become national advisors, there has been no reaction within the sect whatsoever.

This is completely unreasonable.

"I don't know. That Imperial Advisor only ever met with His Majesty and Her Highness the Eldest Princess."

"After a certain meeting, the eldest princess suddenly changed her personality. First, she moved to this Sanye City, and then she built a Buddhist temple and this underground altar."

"After that, I nourished these vines with my own blood every day..."

Aunt Fang stared at the green vines on the wall, her eyes filled with disgust.

A sudden change in personality...

Chu Luobai walked quickly to the side of the altar and placed his right hand on Qiuyue's forehead.

"Master, there's a huge bug on him."

The gourd circled around Qiuyue, and she could sense something different about Qiuyue.

"I know."

Qiu Yue's body is extremely fragile right now, so Chu Luobai doesn't dare to use too much spiritual power.

However, after examining Qiuyue's entire body, no trace of the Demon Language Insects could be found.

Generally speaking, since mortals do not have a spiritual sea, the demonic insects will parasitize some vital organs.

If neither of those apply, then there's only one possibility.

Chu Luobai looked up at Qiu Lin, her gaze intense.

"I need to explore your elder sister's sea of ​​consciousness."
