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

The evil cultivators, who had suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of Huo Huo, were almost completely surrounded by all the cultivators. Some fled, while others were killed. The commotion throughout the mansion that night was particularly loud, even alarming the cultivators who were hiding in the palace and holding back their troops.

"Who did it?"

"I don't know. It should be other cultivators."

"I heard that the mansion was summoning an evil god, how could it have been completely wiped out by cultivators?"

If they succeed, it should be the group of cultivators who are killed.

"Check it out?" Mu Chongxi nudged Mingxuan with his elbow, signaling him to investigate.

Mingxuan was very popular among male cultivators in the mortal realm, probably because of his appearance and his current female attire. Information could be gleaned from him in just a few words. He lowered his head dejectedly, "Ugh, I hate all this interrogation! Can't we share any information we have?"

"If we hadn't done such shocking things as raiding the dungeon and blowing up the forbidden area, we could be sharing news with those cultivators happily right now."

Instead of hiding and running away like we do now.

"These cultivators have dealt with quite a few evil cultivators these past few days," Zhu You said, pointing to the roster, "but it's not comprehensive. There must be some omissions."

In the past few days, they have quietly turned the palace upside down.

But there are definitely still omissions.

The cultivators were watching them intently, but the evil cultivators naturally wouldn't sit idly by and wait for them to come and eliminate them.

They resort to these insidious methods of sacrificing themselves to enhance their cultivation, turning a blind eye to the rules set by Heaven.

To be precise, they exploited a loophole and collaborated with ordinary people to establish a transaction chain.

For some nobles, human life is the least valuable thing.

Why not exchange it for the help of some heretical practitioners?

"Given that we are outnumbered and outmatched, how do you think those evil cultivators will deal with us?"

Chu Xingzhi: "Summon their evil god." It's obvious that he used to ask his senior brother to beat him up when he couldn't beat someone.

Chu Xingzhi was unusually clever for once, and Zhu You was extremely pleased, nodding, "I guessed so too."

So what they need to do is not only eliminate the evil cultivators, but also stop their sacrificial rituals. And they need to act quickly. They should start by investigating the royal family and nobility. The group all looked at Mu Chongxi, "Does your father mind if we talk to him?"

Mu Chongxi: "You shouldn't mind?"

Unless they possessed genuine abilities, it was not an easy task to request an audience with the emperor.

His father still doesn't really believe them, so Mu Chongxi had to use all his persuasion to get his fellow disciples to squeeze in.

"Grandma Li's technique is somewhat like 'Stepping on the Breeze'."

Zhou Xiu and the others gathered together.

The girl in green squinted, feeling that the mental technique Grandma Li used when she escaped was very familiar.

Zhou Xiu was dumbfounded: "What is 'Treading on the Breeze'?"

The girl took a crunchy bite of the hard flatbread. "The mental cultivation method personally passed down by the Changming Sect, 'Treading the Breeze,' means that wherever you step, you feel as light as the wind."

This cultivation method has been touted as miraculous. Before Ye Qiao, the direct disciple, arrived, Ta Qingfeng wasn't nearly as famous as it is now. But now, thanks to the godlike escape speed of the Changming Sect's direct disciple, it has become a widely circulated and essential cultivation method for escaping.

"You must have seen wrong?" Zhou Xiu's smile faded.

Changming Sect's direct lineage—what kind of good family would do such a thing?

"Maybe I'm seeing things." The girl in green shrugged. She had only heard of it, but had never seen it.

But the only truly famous technique for speed is Stepping on the Breeze.

He looks like a scoundrel, but he's surprisingly reliable when it counts. We didn't even need him to come to the rescue; he single-handedly turned the evil cultivators' stronghold upside down. It's so familiar, those are such familiar methods…

I feel like I've seen a similar technique passed down in some major competition.

Meanwhile, Ye Qiao was already on her way to cause trouble. She lowered her head, made an incision, mixed her blood with pig's blood, and offered it as a sacrifice to that evil creature.

Since it was an evil creature, Ye Qiao was worried about being discovered, so she first tested it on the evil spirit by holding up blood mixed with pig's blood in front of it. "Does it smell good?"

She seized the evil spirit.

Seeing its frantic attempts to get closer, I was pretty sure that the evil god would like it too.

After feeding the pig twice with a mixture of her own blood and pig's blood, she began to tentatively summon the evil god.

Hundreds of believers come to it to make wishes every day, so how could the evil god care about one or two believers, let alone remember their appearance?

Thus, Ye Qiao naturally took the place of the evil cultivator, and shamelessly claimed all the credit for feeding the evil god upon herself.

She prayed and summoned with her blood, and the process went smoothly. The unidentified object, which claimed to be an evil god, slowly appeared again. Having had the experience of being forced to kneel, Ye Qiao knelt down before it appeared this time.

The evil god seemed to have just awakened. It "looked" at the kneeling believer, its voice hollow and indistinct, "Yes, you... are summoning me."

Having had experience before, Ye Qiao was now in complete control. "Yes, my lord."

She slowly revealed a radiant smile, "I will offer you my loyalty."

It was tired of hearing the believers' tales. It was clearly more interested in the blood that Ye Qiao had sacrificed earlier than this evil god. What was that? It smelled so good, even better than the best spiritual roots it had ever eaten.

It kept swallowing, "Your loyalty? Whose blood was that before? How did it come about?"

"Tell me quickly." The other person's voice suddenly rose, and Ye Qiao's heart pounded like a drum. She wasn't scared, but rather her mind was affected.

Seeing its frenzied state regarding its blood, Ye Qiao lowered her head, steadied herself, and reiterated her loyalty, "Of course, my lord is my only faith."

She is probably the only one who is barely qualified to speak to an evil god.

It's tough on those heretical practitioners; they have to be respectful and act like sons to others.

Moreover, judging from the state of this evil god, the cultivators in the mortal realm are not doing well either. This evil god is clearly stronger than before, which is not good.

Ye Qiao felt its power increasing, only about a day after the last summoning.

Her lips twitched. "That's blood from the five direct descendants of the sect. I managed to capture it by chance before."

After Ye Qiao finished speaking, she could clearly feel that the evil god's voice became excited and frenzied, "Quickly bring her here."

It wanted to devour him alive.

Ye Qiao remained unfazed and continued to deceive, "My lord, we can drain a bowl of blood each time, and when she has recovered enough, we can continue to cut open and drain the blood, and repeat this cycle. If we consume it all at once, it will be very difficult to find another disciple."

Makes sense.

The evil god was persuaded, but it was clearly not satisfied with the status quo. "Keep capturing them. Those close disciples... none of them will escape."

Ye Qiao smiled, "When you arrive, none of them will be able to escape."

The KFC looked at her dazed expression, as if she were about to sacrifice herself for an evil god, and it wanted to howl in despair.

"However—" she changed the subject, "capturing those direct disciples won't be easy. My lord, could you grant me some special privileges?"

Her tone was sincere, but because she was kneeling, Ye Qiao's expression was not visible.

Are you making a request to God?

Its voice grew increasingly ferocious and manic. A wave of ringing and disorientation washed over Ye Qiao, who remained unaffected, maintaining her previous expression as she looked up. "Is it not allowed, my lord?"

Let it come?

It's not impossible. But the prerequisite is that Ye Qiao needs to restrain it beforehand.

Those cultivators are too useless to stop it, so let's not stop them.

No one had ever thought of making demands or reasoning with "God." Although it was an evil entity, it was the first time someone had dared to speak to it like that.

"You want special privileges from me?"

"With your mere Golden Core stage cultivation, you think you can do that?" it sneered.

Ye Qiao's long-term feeding prevented it from immediately strangling this ignorant believer, but that was all. If Ye Qiao couldn't give it a satisfactory answer, it would definitely not let her go.

With so many followers, including two at the Nascent Soul stage and not to mention the Golden Core stage, where does she get the confidence to ask for special privileges?

Ye Qiao knew it wouldn't agree easily. She raised her eyes and calmly said, "My lord, I am also a direct disciple."

Before it went berserk and strangled itself, Ye Qiao quickly added, "But now, it has chosen to fall into evil."

Ye Qiao's sudden choice to self-destruct as a werewolf caught everyone off guard. Even the evil god who was trying to strangle Ye Qiao stopped in his tracks, not understanding what was going on. The poor evil god had been fed by a group of fanatical believers, but no one had ever dared to fool it.

Ye Qiao said, "I'm also a direct disciple; they know me. What do you think if I lied and they offered themselves up?"

According to the information investigated by those cultivators, this evil entity has always been in the mortal realm. It knows very little about the direct disciples of the cultivation world, or rather, it disdains to know. So how can it be said that it only has the ability to talk?

"I can help you coordinate from the inside out."

"Put on a good show."

As she spoke, she reached out her hand, subtly signaling Xiaoxi to release the evil spirits.

Seeing that they had gained their freedom, the evil spirits fled frantically from the area. In their ecstatic joy, an evil aura spread, turning the entire room dark and oppressive, like a cult gathering place.

Who would dare say she's a righteous and upright person amidst such a terrifying scene?

The evil god was also taken aback. It didn't care about the believer's identity; it only cared about her claim that she could trick all her disciples into coming to it and devour them. Looking at the overwhelming evil aura, it was convinced of her identity as an evil cultivator. It spoke slowly, "You, which sect's disciple are you?"

Ye Qiao respectfully held up the identity plaque of his personal disciple and showed it to it.

—Passed down by the Changming clan, Ye Qiao.

It said, "I'll remember you."

Ye Qiao smiled too.

That's a must. Remember that well.

The deal was done. Ye Qiao lowered her head, knelt on the ground, and silently scribbled on the ground. Then, she openly and honestly asked the evil god for special privileges. She slowly uttered her first words:

"When you pray, please respond to my call."

"allow."

"Please grant my wish after I finish praying."

Suppressing its frenzied malice, it coldly uttered a single word: "Fine."

A greedy and reckless monk.

Once it has used these people, it will drain all their blood.

Ye Qiao exhaled, seemingly oblivious to its ferocious malice, and continued, "Then, after you descend, please don't hurt me."

It coldly replied, "I agree."

After it agreed, it keenly noticed that Ye Qiao seemed to finally relax. The evil god began to chuckle. It was true that even the words of evil beings could be taken seriously. Sure enough, a righteous disciple who had entered the evil path was still so naive.

It chuckled for a couple of moments before suddenly realizing something was wrong.

A golden light silently descended to the ground, and the two people bound by it were none other than the Evil God and Ye Qiao.

She looked up and met the gaze of the evil god.

For some reason, even though it was a shapeless object, Ye Qiao could tell it was confused.

The three Heavenly Laws have been satisfied.

Ye Qiao spat out a mouthful of blood, damn it.

That's ruthless.

She set the rules according to the laws of nature.

The Way of Heaven has such constraints, and only righteous disciples can impose these constraints. This fully demonstrates the Way of Heaven's favoritism towards the righteous path, and only righteous disciples can set these constraints.

If you disobey, you will be struck by lightning, and the lightning will be relentless and relentless.

And to establish constraints on the existence of inequality in social hierarchy, one is not enough, at least three are needed.

In this situation, Ye Qiao could only keep making up excuses to persuade it to agree to these three conditions. The effect was one-time, and she had already prepared when to use it.

It's a rather shameless way to play, and the method is also very risky. If it is discovered, the consequences will be unimaginable. Seeing that the three rules have been met and the Heavenly Dao's constraints have been imposed, Ye Qiao looked at the evil god who seemed to have sensed something was wrong and ran outside.

She didn't even close the door. Because it was night, Ye Qiao let the KFC out, grabbed Zhou Xiu and her gang, and led them to escape with their families.

"Run!! Oh my god, it's catching up!"

"What?"

A terrifying aura spread wildly, and Zhou Xiu's scalp tingled for a moment. What the hell is that?

The KFC chicken grew larger, carrying a group of people into the sky. A fiery red phoenix stood out prominently in mid-air, especially with several people sitting atop it. Ye Qiao looked back and saw several terrifying black shadows chasing after them. She took out a Shadow Talisman from her pouch and quickly issued a command:

"To the palace."

The palace was full of cultivators; she was certain that the evil creature wouldn't dare to act recklessly.

Moreover, it is not yet a complete entity, and it will be abandoned after a short period of time.

Wait, Phoenix...

Is this a phoenix?

Zhou Xiu subconsciously glanced at the little beast she was riding on, and tentatively touched it, but was impatiently shaken by KFC and almost thrown off.

Phoenixes are very fast, but because there are people around at night, they are bound to be seen by some ordinary people, so they can only fly higher to avoid being discovered.

Upon reaching the palace, the shadow that had been relentlessly pursuing them seemed to be wary of something and suddenly stopped.

The unwillingness faded away.

KFC snorted coldly, deftly throwing off the people on his back, including Ye Qiao, who was also thrown off.

As the group fell, Ye Qiao steadied herself thanks to her extensive experience of being thrown around.

The others weren't so lucky. They were dizzy when they were grabbed onto the bird's back, and during the escape, they were shaken so badly that they almost threw up. They all ended up lying on the ground, one on top of the other.

Ye Qiao landed safely on the back of these grandsons and found that the surrounding palace had been encircled by a barrier. With their arrival, a hole had been smashed in it, as if it had been attacked by some kind of terrorists.

and……

The way they fled in such a disheveled state did indeed resemble that of thieves who had failed in a burglary.

Seeing the hesitant expressions on the faces of her senior brothers, Ye Qiao clapped her hands, grinned, and said, "Wow, so many people have come to greet me?"

The cultivators, who had been on high alert, anticipating an attack from the heretical cultivators, were left speechless.

Mu Chongxi breathed a sigh of relief, "They've finally arrived."

It's true, she's the only one missing.

"Ah..." The Imperial Concubine looked dazed at the chaotic scene before her, her tone a mix of surprise and astonishment, "Xiao Xi, is this... your proper junior sister?"
