Chapter 140 Did I do something wrong?
Blackstone Sect.
The cave behind the sect has completely collapsed.
The entire sect was reduced to nothingness in the boundless flames of karma.
If it weren't for the map still containing records of the Black Stone Sect, no one would know that there was once a very powerful sect here.
Xiao Lin was watching from a distance, even though he had seen his senior brother set up formations many times before.
But no matter how many times I watch it, I can't help but be surprised.
Especially this Karmic Fire Formation, which took him and his fellow disciples almost half a month to set up.
In Gu Lin's hands, however, it only takes one or two days to set it up.
Its effects and power were even better than what they had spent half a month making.
Looking at the gap in talent, Xiao Lin couldn't help but want to laugh.
"Senior brother, what should we do next?"
"Should we go to the Hundred Flowers Sect to meet up with Senior Brother Xu Zhong, or follow that fairy from the Azure Cloud Sword Sect to the Southern Frontier...?"
Gu Lin rarely returned to the sect, instead spending most of his time exploring outside.
It had been about four or five years since Xiao Lin last met him.
Now that they've finally managed to meet, Xiao Lin doesn't want to part ways so hastily.
Gu Lin looked at the paper bird that had landed on his fingertip, which contained a message from Chu Luobai.
The message not only described the current situation in Qiu Kingdom, but also contained information that was fatally attractive to Gu Lin.
Chu Luobai obtained a female insect.
He had been investigating the mother insect for a long time.
He would never give up, no matter how small the clue.
Although Gu Lin didn't know where Chu Luobai had learned about the Mother Worm.
But when Gu Lin thought of that dashing red-clad swordsman, he subconsciously felt...
The other party won't lie to me.
"Naturally... to the southern border."
On the other side, the Hundred Flowers Sect.
After receiving the message from his senior brother, Xu Zhong felt as if the sky had fallen.
Wasn't it agreed that we would meet at the Hundred Flowers Sect and have the senior brother take over the team?
Why is it that not only has our senior brother stopped coming to the Hundred Flowers Sect, but he's also heading straight for the Southern Frontier?
This turn of events was truly beyond his expectations.
"What should I do?"
Xu Zhong rubbed his temples, feeling a sudden headache.
Zu Yang noticed Xu Zhong's actions and subconsciously asked a question.
"Fellow Daoist Xu, have you used up too much spiritual energy? Would you like to rest for a while?"
"No need, no need. Once the formation is set up, there's nothing more for us to do."
Xu Zhong waved his hand repeatedly, and after hesitating for a few seconds, he briefly explained why Gu Lin couldn't come.
After he finished speaking, he looked at Zu Yang somewhat cautiously.
Those who achieve fame at a young age invariably develop arrogance.
This senior brother from the Qingyun Sword Sect is a prime example of someone who achieved fame at a young age.
Originally, the cooperation between the two sects should have been facilitated by Gu Lin, as his identity would have been appropriate.
In the world of cultivation, the strong are respected.
With his current level of cultivation, he wouldn't have been able to say a word to Zu Yang.
But now that Gu Lin is not here, he has no choice but to bite the bullet and take over for the time being.
I thought things would be fine once Gu Lin arrived, but now Gu Lin has actually run off to the side.
I wonder if Senior Brother Zu Yang will feel that Tianyan Sect has neglected him.
"Is Fellow Daoist Gu not coming? I suppose he went to explore the Southern Frontier with my junior sister."
"They're enough over there. We'll focus on logistics here, scout out the surrounding villages, and wait for the Dan Sect's assistance, shall we?"
Zu Yang nodded slightly.
He had actually received the message from Chu Luobai long ago.
Knowing that Shi Aotian was dead, Chu Luobai was also investigating the internal affairs of Qiu Kingdom and had even found a helper.
He had been wondering where this junior sister from Xiaoyao Peak had found helper since she never came down the mountain.
Unexpectedly, it was Gu Lin from the Tianyan Sect.
It's unclear what methods Chu Luobai used to be able to command him.
Seeing that Zu Yang showed no sign of anger, Xu Zhong secretly breathed a sigh of relief and then spoke.
"If we could get help from the Pill Sect, that would be the best outcome."
................................................................
Autumn Country, Mitsuba Castle.
Inside the Buddhist hall of the Princess's residence, 'Autumn Moon' gently touched the petals at the base of the Buddha statue, and the entire statue moved again, returning to its previous position.
The deep and long tunnel was concealed.
"I'll need your help these next few days to keep those people at the Princess's residence in check."
Qiu Lin gave Qiu Yue some instructions.
'Autumn Moon' nodded slightly, a hint of worry flashing across her face as she looked at the Buddha statue before her.
"It's alright. The princess's body has been protected by the formation I set up. Even if a cultivator comes, it can hold out for half a day."
Chu Luobai patted 'Qiuyue' on the shoulder.
The 'Autumn Moon' before them was not the real Autumn Moon, but Fang Aunt Fang, Fang Yue, who had been transformed by Chu Luobai's magic.
"Just stay quietly at the Princess's residence for the next few days and wait for our good news."
'Autumn Moon' nodded slightly and turned to walk out of the Buddhist hall.
The moment he stepped out of the Buddhist hall, the expression on his face changed instantly.
Years of companionship have allowed Fang Yue to perfectly imitate Qiu Yue.
Even Qiu Lin couldn't see the slightest flaw.
After leaving the Buddhist hall, Qiuyue turned around and exchanged a glance with Chu Luobai before heading towards the Princess's residence.
"It does look quite similar."
Chu Luobai sighed and led Qiu Lin in another direction.
The Grand Princess's residence has many spies left by the Imperial Preceptor, and if Chu Luobai and Qiu Lin leave rashly, it will surely alert them.
At the altar, Fang Yue pointed out a small path to them.
That was originally a path that Fang Yue secretly opened up using her power in the mansion, for her and Qiu Yue to escape.
Now that Qiuyue is unconscious, this path has lost its meaning, so he pointed it out to Chu Luobai.
"The imperial city is only a hundred miles from here; we can reach it before dawn by flying on our swords."
Qiu Lin's face was expressionless, but his eyes were churning with emotions.
As Fang Yue just said, this matter involves not only his elder sister, but also his father and fourth younger sister.
Especially his father, the emperor, was the one who personally invited back the national advisor of the Frost Sect.
What secret is hidden within this remains unknown to anyone.
Seeing Qiu Lin like this, Chu Luobai could only sigh and reach out his hand to him from the Lingxiao.
"Let's go, let's take a look at the capital first."
"At least confirm that your father and sister are safe?"
Qiu Lin stood up silently, feeling the wind in his ears, and after a long while, he finally asked.
"Senior sister, was leaving back then a mistake?"
Chu Luobai raised an eyebrow, and only slowly spoke when she saw that Qiu Lin had no intention of continuing.
"You should know that when a person asks himself if he has done something wrong, he doesn't actually think he has done anything wrong."
