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

Xue Yu nearly choked. "What?"

"We'll rob our senior brother first, then see if we can save the others. After that, we'll run. Can they still kill us? If not, then so be it. We're all desperate to live."

The eight families could only jump up and down in frustration. A prison break is something that one person would do with audacity, but if a group of people do it, it's just like children being naughty. They can be let off lightly because the law doesn't punish the masses.

The eight prominent families were furious and helpless about the situation.

She had considered it, so her words didn't sound like she'd lost her mind. She pulled out a chair, grabbed a pen, and said, "Would you like to hear my thoughts?"

"..."

silence.

Everyone was stunned for a long time after hearing Ye Qiao's words.

"Holy crap!" Mu Chongxi's eyes lit up. How come he hadn't thought of that? What a great idea!

"As expected of you, Junior Sister Ye." Mingxuan jumped up excitedly: "Great idea!" How come he didn't think of that?

"..." Xue Yu was speechless. A normal person would only try to get the person out of prison, who would go and break them out of jail?

However, he said, "We can try. But if we break the rules, we might be locked up in a restricted area when we come back."

Leaving aside the shocking act of raiding the forbidden area, their mere disregard for the sect's rules is enough to give them a run for their money.

Mingxuan deftly stepped the stool onto the ground, lightly standing up on the edge. "Rules, rules. Since birth, the word I've heard the most is 'rules.'" They were expected to be gifted, yet they were also expected to be obedient and subservient to their control.

The large family that everyone envies is a prison they desperately want to escape from.

Xue Yu was a well-behaved child from a young age, but that doesn't mean he was truly a law-abiding citizen.

Seeing that his fellow disciples were already prepared to venture into the forbidden area, he shrugged and said, "Alright, alright, so what should we prepare?"

He can make some preparations in advance, and when he wants to enter the forbidden area, he should do so quietly to avoid being discovered and causing unnecessary trouble.

Ye Qiao reached out her hand, and the Flying Immortal Sword and the Unseen Lord fell into her grasp. Turning her head, she revealed a bright smile, pointed at the blueprint in her hand, picked up a pen, and roughly sketched out the layout of the Moon Purity Sect.

Pointing to the map, he said, "First, we need to sneak into the forbidden area of ​​the Moon Purity Sect at night and find a way to obtain the Bright Moon Arrow."

The dungeon is protected by forbidden spells, and at a very high level, which is definitely not something that these two minor Golden Core cultivators can break.

So let's go all out and go to the Moon Purity Sect to find the Bright Moon Arrow. By the time they realize what's happening, they'll have already vanished.

stimulate.

"Keep the pass your master gave you safe. We'll go to the human world after we've finished the prison break."

Mingxuan blinked. "How did you know about the Moon Purity Sect's plans?"

Although Ye Qiao's handwriting was unbearable to look at, her drawings were beautiful, simple and clear in a single stroke.

Ye Qiao saw them staring at her with a strange look in their eyes, and waved her hand, "Don't worry about so many details. I grew up in the Yueqing Sect, of course I'll remember."

In fact, she had memorized the general layout of the Yueqing Sect when she went to consult Yunhen not long ago; it was purely an occupational hazard.

She roughly sketched out the interior and exterior of the Yueqing Sect, and then left the rest to Xue Yu. She was only responsible for providing ideas; how to infiltrate in the safest way was up to her dear third senior brother.

Xue Yu took the pen, pondered for a moment, and said, "First, we need to avoid the formation, and then find out the inner disciples' night watch schedule. Most importantly—you guys better be quiet!!"

Don't act like you're all on steroids.

"We need to sneak in silently, understand?" Xue Yu didn't want to fail in his prison break attempt and end up in jail instead.

The thought of that scene is just too embarrassing.

Mingxuan nodded haphazardly, "Let's go, let's go. Let's pack up and leave in a bit."

First, there are clothes; you need to change clothes before going out.

"Find someone in black?" The red robes are too conspicuous.

"Sure, sure." Mingxuan had the most clothes, so he pulled out several pieces and tossed them to them.

Ye Qiao found a clean black sock, cut out two holes, and after comparing them to the sock, she was eager to try putting it on her head.

Later, after she put it on, she changed her mind. She looked exactly like a criminal gang about to rob a bank.

They tried to put socks on their heads but failed, so they ended up wearing masks instead, although I always felt that their behavior was a bit like burying their heads in the sand.

"Pills, spiritual plants, talismans, and cinnabar brushes. All packed." Luckily, I went out to buy them beforehand, otherwise I really wouldn't have been able to prepare everything I needed for this last-minute trip down the mountain.

Ye Qiao didn't finish packing until late at night. She stuffed all sorts of things, useful and useless, into the box. After all, it was her first time going on a long trip, and she wanted to make sure everything was prepared.

Before dawn, they huddled together again, racking their brains to come up with a letter about leaving the sect, and then set off in a grand procession to rescue the people.

A prison break at the last minute was a rare occurrence even for a group of well-behaved, privileged individuals.

Ye Qiao thought they had slipped away unnoticed, but in fact, a quarter of an hour after they left, Xie Chuxue walked in casually and reached out to pinch the thin envelope.

After glancing at them for a while, he chuckled, "These kids nowadays really don't know their place."

I thought he was unconventional enough in the past, but I didn't expect that each generation would be better than the last. These new disciples don't take the rules seriously at all.

Xie Chuxue asked symbolically, "Should I stop them?"

"No need." Qin Fanfan waved his hand. "Let them go." Giving them five passes meant he tacitly approved of their actions tonight.

He didn't actually agree with this approach; it was too extreme. But then he thought, if they really waited for the investigation, who knows how long it would take? He shook his head and sighed, "Getting old." His disagreement with this extreme approach didn't mean he wanted to deny the children's choices.

……

In the dead of night, the entire Yueqing Sect was shrouded in darkness. Once inside their territory, the most important thing to be careful of was the array formations that could be seen everywhere, as well as the inner sect members on night watch. Avoiding the inner sect disciples, Mingxuan sneaked in according to the location on the map. He surveyed the surrounding array formations and said, "Be careful not to step on them."

"Go inside and find the location of the Moon Arrow."

It's highly unlikely that the Yueqing Sect will have a treasure pavilion, since even the Changming Sect doesn't have one. How could the Yueqing Sect possibly have the money to build one?

Mingxuan took Mu Chongxi to search. One of them was a talisman cultivator, and the other was a nimble sword cultivator. They searched quickly, but searching for things like the Bright Moon Arrow one by one was a waste of time. It would be better to tie up a disciple and interrogate him directly.

When Mu Chongxi and Ming Xuan returned from their search, they found nothing.

They also encountered another group of people, four of them dressed rather strangely and acting suspiciously.

The two teams met on a narrow path and fell silent simultaneously.

The first thought that comes to mind when we see each other is...

—Not a good person.

After exchanging glances, both groups simultaneously drew their weapons. Ye Qiao drew her Flying Immortal Sword, its shadow slashing towards Chu Xingzhi like a blade. Chu Xingzhi, looking at these mysterious masked figures, mistook them for thieves.

Upon catching a glimpse of the familiar Changming Sect sword technique, he was about to say "one of us" when he was struck squarely by the sword shadow, rolled on the spot, and triggered the Yueqing Sect formation.

The moment the trapping formation was activated, the two exchanged a glance and, with perfect understanding, dodged outwards, turning their feet to avoid several formations in succession.

Xue Yu narrowed his eyes, looking at these familiar people. "Are you also planning a prison break?"

and also?

Oh, we're kindred spirits.

Zhu You: "That's right, let them investigate. Who knows when they'll find out? Let's get them out first. Anyway, they can't do anything to us."

It wasn't confidence in their own abilities, but rather confidence in the attitudes of the higher-ups in the cultivation world. With so many direct disciples, could they really lock them all up? All they could do was rage in impotence.

Mu Chongxi stepped onto the ground, pursed his lips, and said, "We've searched, but we don't know where the Bright Moon Arrow is. Right now, we only haven't dared to look at the sect leader's bedroom or a few other places that are difficult to access."

They explored all the other areas.

The Moon Arrow would be hidden there.

Ye Qiao and Zhu You simultaneously thought of a location. Zhu You held up one finger and twirled the pass hanging from her waist, slowly and confidently stating, "Forbidden Area."

Ye Qiao thought of the forbidden area simply because she had been there many times and was very familiar with it. The spiritual energy inside was dense, and ordinary people couldn't enter, making it a perfect place to hide things.

Zhu You could think of something, but he relied on force.

They lured Su Zhuo out of the sect, forcibly tied him up, and interrogated him. Now, poor Su Zhuo has been stabbed in the hand and is unconscious.

Although I feel really bad for the other party, the situation is forcing me to take action, so there's nothing I can do.

"Where is the forbidden area of ​​the Yueqing Sect? Does anyone know?" They couldn't help but place their hopeful gazes on Ye Qiao, who used to be an inner disciple of the Yueqing Sect.

Ye Qiao shrugged. "I don't remember. Only direct disciples can enter this place." It would be a miracle if the inner disciples knew about it.

Where are those who make mistakes usually locked up? In forbidden areas.

If they were caught now, the enraged Yueqing Sect would probably imprison them in the forbidden area and wait for the elders and sect leaders to come and take them away tomorrow, right? The Changming Sect had all thought of this.

Chu Xingzhi just activated the formation, so the Yueqing Sect should have already noticed that someone had broken in. At this time, there is no need to run away; we just need to wait quietly for the arrival of the Yueqing Sect elders.

"Have you ever been to the forbidden area?"

The four members of the Sword Inquiry Sect shook their heads blankly. "No."

Those who are locked up in restricted areas are usually those who have committed serious offenses, right?

Ye Qiao smiled, "It's alright, you can go in now."

"what?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a golden array rose simultaneously from beneath their feet, wiping them all out in one fell swoop.

"You audacious thieves, how dare you trespass into the Yueqing Sect!" A furious shout rang out. The Second Elder of the Yueqing Sect arrived late, his eyes widening slightly. He could tell that these thieves were all at the Golden Core stage.

"Elder." Seeing that he still wanted to continue rambling on, Ye Qiao couldn't help but pull off her mask, revealing her face. "It's us."

The four members of the Sword Inquiry Sect hesitated before removing their face coverings. Under the watchful eyes of the Moon Cleansing Sect elder, they couldn't help but lower their heads in shame.

In contrast, the Changming Sect seemed to have given up all hope, with everyone holding their heads high and chests out, looking fearless, which almost gave the Second Elder a stroke.

What are you doing here?

"Ye Qiao, you speak!" Among these people, he knew Ye Qiao. To be precise, he knew Ye Qiao from when he was in the Yueqing Sect. Back then, that child was well-behaved and honest.

Ye Qiao touched the tip of her nose. "Oh, I wanted to come in and have some fun. Sorry, Elder, we'll be leaving now." As she spoke, she took out a few formation-breaking talismans, but was stopped by the Second Elder's angry rebuke.

"How dare you! Do you think our Moon Purity Sect is a place for you to play around in?"

"Just walk away as you please? And with that smug look on his face, he was so angry his head was buzzing. 'Imprison them in the forbidden area! Imprison them all in the forbidden area! Reflect on your actions! Your sect leader will come to ransom them tomorrow.'"

This group of people is incredible; they've gone completely overboard.

He wouldn't get this angry if it were just one person, but it was a group of people.

He pointed at the group and angrily rebuked them, "This is what you deserve. I hope you will learn from this experience and reflect on why you came to our Yueqing Sect to cause trouble in the middle of the night."

Ye Qiao occasionally looked up at the sky, pretending not to understand.

On the first night of infiltration, I achieved the ending of locking up the forbidden area with the Sword Inquiry Sect. Brilliant!

The heads of the Wenjian Sect members were lowered even further, their ears turning red. They were all good students who had never entered the forbidden area before, and they were all feeling rather down at the moment. After all, entering the forbidden area to reflect on their actions was no less than a disgrace for a direct disciple.

Turning my head to look at the other side, I saw that Mingxuan and Mu Chongxi were playing rock-paper-scissors.

Damn it.

The stark contrast between the two extremes only fueled the Second Elder's anger towards the Changming Sect.

He took out a jade slip and remotely called Elder Zhao of the Changming Sect, his first words being, "Your disciples have been imprisoned in the forbidden area."

"Huh?" Elder Zhao was still half asleep, his mind a little foggy. "Who's been locked up?"

"Ye Qiao and the others. And the ones from the Sword Inquiry Sect." The Second Elder was furious at the mention of this, unable to understand what had gotten into these disciples.

Elder Zhao was even more bewildered. How did Ye Qiao and the others get involved with the Yueqing Sect, and even end up in the forbidden area? He forced himself to stay alert and asked, "Who did you lock Ye Qiao up with?"

"The Sword Inquiry Sect, huh?"

"What!" Elder Zhao's voice suddenly rose, and he sat up in shock from his deathbed: "You locked up those troublemakers from our Changming Sect along with the demolition crew from the Wenjian Sect?"

It wasn't him who gave it the title of "demolition team"; it was given to it by those idle cultivators. Most of the Wenjian Sect members were brutes who fought recklessly, making them a true demolition team in the cultivation world.

"I advise you to think carefully before making a decision." To be honest, these brats are as familiar with the forbidden area as if it were their own home, and Elder Zhao felt that they posed little threat to them.

Considering Ye Qiao's feat of either exploding or collapsing the secret realm, he sincerely wanted to advise the other party to calm down.

"That's right, do they really think our Yueqing Sect is a place they can come and go as they please?" The Second Elder thought that this old scoundrel was finally scared, and couldn't help but feel smug. "Even if the Emperor himself came today, Ye Qiao and the others would have to stay and reflect on their actions."

"Alright, since you insist, then I wish you happiness." Elder Zhao didn't try to stop him again, but his tone carried a hint of pity...?

Wait, pity?

Whom should we pity?
