I saved the entire sect by playing idly by letting things fall apart.

Luo Shui, inside the Sword Cave, trembled with rage. She had never seen such a shameless swordsman. Her voice was furious as she said, "This is called forced buying and selling."

Ye Qiao smiled slightly: "No, no, no, we win people over with virtue, that's all."

Who would choose a one-on-one fight when they can gang up on it? Did she bring so many swords to reason with it? Of course not.

Before the Emperor could bind it, several spirit swords were also watching it intently from the side. No matter how Luo Shui charged forward, it was useless, and it was ruthlessly beaten back every time. Seeing this opportunity, Zhu You reached out and hurriedly grabbed it tightly.

After establishing a spiritual connection, she clearly sensed Luo Shui's resistance. The sword spirit's dissatisfaction and backlash made her face turn pale.

The rest was none of Ye Qiao's business; whether or not she could subdue Luo Shui depended on Zhu You, not on her.

Time passed second by second.

Feeling a bit bored, Ye Qiao simply sat down to cultivate. She was currently in the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, quietly absorbing the spiritual energy within the sword cave. Only after a commotion was heard did she look up and discover that the previously unconvinced Luo Shui had quietly and obediently fallen into Zhu You's hands.

Ye Qiao immediately said, "Congratulations."

Successful.

Zhu You's hands trembled with excitement as he hugged her tightly and whispered, "Th-thank you."

She said that her initial idea of ​​teaming up with Ye Qiao was the right one.

Unfortunately, Ye Qiao's personality has always been unpredictable. Zhu You was sincerely grateful to her, and she knew in her heart that without Ye Qiao's help, she probably wouldn't even know where Luoshui was by herself.

Ye Qiao blinked, looking a little shy, though she actually quite liked being hugged by girls.

After the third day, almost all the contracts inside the Sword Cave were terminated. The next step was to leave the Sword Cave. The sword formations outside became a big problem. Thousands of swords were gathered together, which was terrifying.

After Zhu You and Ye Qiao ran out together, the other senior brothers who were waiting stood up at the same time. Ye Qinghan glanced at the Luo Shui hanging on his junior sister's waist and stared at Ye Qiao for a long time.

"Thanks." Just as Ye Qiao felt her scalp tingling from his gaze, Ye Qinghan quickly uttered these two words.

Ye Qiao responded with an "oh" and calmly accepted it.

She deserves it.

Chu Xingzhi exclaimed in surprise, "It's Luoshui and Duanshui!" A pair of love swords had actually been collected at their Wenjian Sect.

Ye Qiao then noticed, tsk tsk tsk, the pairing of Duan Shui and Luo Shui is completely over.

Several people gathered outside the sword cave, looking at the sky full of sword formations, preparing to break out in one go. However, Jun and Chaoxi slowly floated out of the sword to help with the work.

"I will not break my sword, for I will never see you again." Remember this saying.

But the path he had previously followed was one of stopping killing with killing. He pursed his lips, feeling somewhat aggrieved, and charged headlong into the spirit sword formation, coldly beating the spirit swords to vent his frustration.

Ye Qinghan gave Bujianjun a look, then reminded Ye Qiao, "Your sword, the previous one, was mainly focused on the path of slaughter."

Just by looking at this path, you can tell it's definitely not a righteous sect.

No one knows where Ye Qiao got this strange stick from.

"The Path of Slaughter?" Ye Qiao frowned. She almost had her neck severed when she wasn't careful. Looking at the stray hair that had fallen to the ground after being cut by the sword energy, she narrowed her eyes.

If you can't have it, you destroy it, right?

Ye Qiao sneered, gripped the bamboo shoot, and at the same time, the sword spirit possessed the sword. This was the benefit of taking human form; it could be used for fighting, and possessing the sword also strengthened the sword itself.

When those spirit swords tried to launch another sneak attack, she spun around, as if she had eyes in the back of her head, dodged, stepped on the swords, and coldly broke the sword spirits. Ye Qinghan didn't say anything. These spirit swords were acting like madmen now. If they broke, so be it. At most, they would only lose some mid-grade spirit swords.

If these close associates were to have an accident inside the Sword Cave, none of the Sword Inquiry Sect members would escape.

"Why are these swords going berserk?"

Ye Qinghan dodged the attack by tilting her head, and said calmly:

"There's demonic energy here." The sword cave is filled with swords left behind by righteous predecessors, and the lingering aura of demonic energy has driven them mad.

Demonic energy.

Ye Qiao and Mu Chongxi suddenly exchanged a glance.

These were thoughts that arose simultaneously in both of them.

Knock on your mother, Yunque—

They brought the demons into the competition and somehow managed to hide them without anyone noticing. Ye Qiao, Mu Chongxi, and Ming Xuan immediately notified Qin Fanfan.

But these kinds of things require evidence.

Ye Qiao was somewhat irritated and kicked away the spirit sword beside her. "When Song Hansheng returns from Yueqing Sect, have him talk to the sect as soon as possible about how to handle this matter."

Although the outcome has nothing to do with them, they still have a feeling that things won't be peaceful unless there are five cases.

The charming female lead isn't very bright; she gets easily swayed by a few sweet words and forgets everything else.

In summary, Yun Que is someone who is both intelligent and good-looking.

The water, now cut off, coiled around the spirit sword. Ye Qinghan coldly channeled the spiritual energy in his hands, climbing up inch by inch until the sword was completely frozen into ice.

The spirit sword fell to the ground and shattered.

Ye Qiao's sword techniques kept changing as she fought her way into the sword formation. She took a breath and decided to try a different sword.

Fei Xian almost took flight.

We've finally reached it.

It was perfect timing, as it also wanted to experience just how high the talent of the Heavenly Spiritual Root really was.

Ye Qiao reached out and grabbed Fei Xian. "So you're the number one in Spirit Sword?"

As Jun watched her touch another sword, his eyes were cold, and he obediently added, "It's just a thing of the past, a foolish loser."

"Just one..." Bujianjun seemed to want to say something, but swallowed it back in the end. His beautiful eyes were staring warily at the Flying Immortal Sword, and his cat ears turned into airplane ears on alert, as if he would scratch someone at any moment.

Fei Xianjian ignored her and said, "Hmm. I'm looking forward to seeing your talent."

Not only Ye Qiao was practicing, but the other people who had just obtained their natal swords were also practicing, and for a moment the snow-white sword light shone everywhere.

Zhu You didn't participate. She calmed herself down slightly and quietly told them where the sword formation would land next, and in which direction they should land in advance.

This is the Sword Cave of the Sword Inquiry Sect. As a direct disciple, Zhu You is very familiar with sword formations. If you ask the other direct disciples of the Sword Inquiry Sect to set up sword formations, they would all act without thinking. Zhu You can only memorize the various sword formations so that he can use them when needed.

I never expected to need it today.

Zhu You reminded her, and Ye Qiao did exactly that. Stepping on the breeze, her steps became as light as a swallow. All the spirit swords flew around, forming a large circle that spun wildly. When Ye Qiao looked up and saw this scene, she felt dizzy and thought, "Damn it."

She's dizzy.

"Hurry up and get out of here," Ye Qiao said. "Stop dawdling." She felt dizzy and nauseous.

Desperately suppressing the dizziness, she threw her sword out. In an instant, the spirit sword in the sword cave cleared a path for her. Under the dazzling and scorching light, the Flying Immortal Sword was used to its fullest potential in Ye Qiao's hands. The sword energy was like shapeless light, easily penetrating all attacks. The spirit swords in the sword formation that were touched by the light all developed cracks at this moment.

Ye Qiao managed to restrain herself and didn't break them; their Changming Sect couldn't afford such compensation.

As the sword formation shattered, the door to the sword cave opened automatically after three days.

The elders raised their eyebrows and calmly watched the scene unfold before them.

Seeing Ye Qinghan and Chu Xingzhi emerge one after the other, holding Cunxue and Duanshui in their hands, the Grand Elder of the Sword Inquiry Sect finally smiled. "Well done." He had guessed almost exactly what was going on.

The Luo River...?

The moment this thought crossed his mind, Zhu You noticed the light blue sword hanging at his waist swaying slightly.

As expected, I've been bound by the Blessing Contract.

The two have similar spiritual roots, but Luo Shui is very proud, so it was somewhat unexpected that she would acknowledge Zhu You as her confidante.

Ye Qiao carried several swords in her hand. The Flying Immortal Sword was bound to her, and the white spiritual sword emitted shimmering light, as bright as day. She rushed out of it in a disheveled state, the long sword shooting out light, like moonlight.

A sword comes from the west, a celestial being descends from the heavens.

The Flying Immortal Sword, once ranked number one on the Spirit Sword Ranking.

They have accepted their master.

With the opening of the Sword Cave, all the spirit swords were revealed to everyone. But that wasn't important. What mattered was—

"Ye Qiao?!"

"What are you holding? Tell me, what are you holding?" The Grand Elder of the Sword Inquiry Sect's smile froze on his face as he stared intently at the swords in Ye Qiao's hands. He shouted, "Frostbite!"

"A fleeting glimpse! A fleeting shadow! Why did you have to be so foolish?" The sect leader of the Sword Inquiry Sect looked at these spirit swords with a pained expression.

"Make way, make way!!" Mu Chongxi shouted, and then the elders noticed that behind the two of them were a black figure and a red figure of sword spirits.

The elder stepped forward to question Ye Qiao, but Ye Qiao turned around the next second, leaned against the wall, and vomited violently.

Grand Elder: "..."
