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

Thank you for the first snow?

The group looked up abruptly, their faces beaming with joy.

So fast?

Xie Chuxue winked at them, giving them a reassuring look. She reached out and patted Mingxuan's head, then spoke to herself thoughtfully, "Who gave you the idea to create chaos at the foot of the Five Sects and secretly travel to the mortal realm? Yun Que?"

His gaze was unusually cold.

Why would a Demon Lord choose a direct descendant when there are so many powerful figures in the cultivation world to seek out? To be honest, a direct descendant who hasn't matured is probably not even worth a glance from the Demon Lord.

Unless he has a close disciple who can attract him.

For example, the leaf.

Xie Chuxue was somewhat troubled; indeed, geniuses really do come with a certain amount of troublesome traits.

"From the Changming Sect," one of the demons' voices turned cold, "why don't you kneel before our Emperor?"

"Ah." Xie Chuxue stopped, as if only then noticing the Demon Lord, and reached out to block their view, revealing a bright smile: "Ha, who is it? It's the Demon Lord. Sorry, you're too dark. It was so dark that I didn't notice you."

"..."

The other four sects looked at Xie Chuxue with a strange gaze, filled with admiration.

Wow, this senior uncle is amazing!

There aren't many people who dare to speak to the Demon Lord like that anymore.

"If you offer Ye Qiao from your sect to me, I will not pursue this matter."

It had been a long time since a Heavenly Spiritual Root had appeared before Ye Qiao. He wanted to study this direct disciple to see what was so unique about him.

The demons follow crooked and evil paths. If they could create more Heavenly Spiritual Roots, then it would only be a matter of time before the demons unify the Three Realms.

As a result, Ye Qiao managed to escape.

The Demon Lord couldn't figure out where things had gone wrong. He never imagined that his previous sword had betrayed him and ended up in Ye Qiao's hands.

Xie Chuxue: "That won't do."

He looked at Ye Qinghan and Mu Chongxi, who were being held hostage, and pondered how to get them down without causing them any harm.

It's not easy to fight the Demon Lord now. Xie Chuxue can't beat him either. He's good at Bagua formations, but he's not a ruthless person who can go head-to-head with the Demon Lord.

After being rejected, the Demon Lord's expression turned sinister, and his world-destroying demonic energy spread out and crushed the group of people.

After Xie Chuxue dodged, the array in her hand unfolded.

Mingxuan and the others were completely disoriented. Xie Chuxue had mastered the Five Elements Formation, making it impossible to detect anyone's presence. Her speed of movement was so fast that even the Demon Lord couldn't find an opportunity to attack.

He grinned maliciously.

Fu Xiu.

He disliked this kind of talisman cultivator the most.

Unpredictable.

Xie Chuxue used the "Stepping on the Gentle Breeze" technique to dodge back and forth, demonstrating the ultimate application of this technique. Her afterimages were invisible, and she moved as swiftly as the wind, seemingly hidden within it. If it weren't for the constantly changing formation, they would probably have thought Xie Chuxue was gone.

Tired of Xie Chuxue's tricks, the Demon Lord finally made a move. The moment he reached out and touched Xie Chuxue, he suddenly tightened his grip, followed by the sound of bones breaking.

Xie Chuxue twitched her fingertips slightly and smiled.

The array beneath him unfolded and exploded, affecting all the surrounding demons, including the Demon Lord.

Xue Yu handed the pill to Xie Chuxue. It was made by him and was of the highest quality. As long as someone was not certain to die, they could be brought back to life.

They watched the demon lord with suspicion, as if he had gone mad.

Xie Chuxue's brows furrowed slightly. Xue Yu's medicine was truly effective; aside from the pain in his chest, his wounds had almost completely healed, but...

This demon lord clearly has no intention of letting this go.

Xie Chuxue was caught off guard and outmaneuvered him. The demons around her fell to the ground in disarray. Seeing the Demon Lord's aura become terrifying and he even laughed in anger, Xie Chuxue's fingertips twitched, preparing to set up the formation again. Just then, the jade slip at her waist suddenly made a sound.

The Demon Lord suddenly stopped and grabbed the jade slip with great interest.

At this time, if a message is sent via jade slip, it's either Ye Qiao or those old men from the Five Sects. Either way, it can easily pique his interest.

This was the effect Ye Qiao wanted. She frantically called Xie Chuxue, hung up after each call, and only spoke when his patience was almost exhausted, "Junior Uncle."

The others who shared the story almost broke out in a cold sweat.

The other party did not reply.

Ye Qiao understood immediately; it was similar to what she had thought. The one who received the jade slip was the Demon Lord. She whispered, "Wait for me for the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, and I'll come find you now."

With Ye Qiao's manipulation of the jade slip, the scene became eerily peaceful. The Demon Lord chuckled twice, his gloomy expression suggesting he was eagerly anticipating her arrival.

Seeing that she was sending jade slips to Xie Chuxue even while flying on her sword, Zhu You couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"

Ye Qiao: "Junior Uncle has arrived."

Moreover, barring any unforeseen circumstances, Xie Chuxue's wicked nature had undoubtedly enraged the Demon Lord. If she didn't send a jade slip to keep him in suspense, she might find a corpse by the time she arrived.

The Demon Lord should be quite interested in her. Whether it's his Holy Maiden being captured or her swaggering around the Demon Realm and ruining his grand plan, Ye Qiao needs to keep him calm first.

……

Simiaoyan and Miaomiao, who had run out on the other side, distributed the pills, hoping to save as many as they could. Many innocent people, on the verge of death, had perished in this scheme targeting cultivators. The principles instilled in them from childhood made it impossible for them to stand idly by and watch someone die.

After reuniting with the Azure Water Sect, Su Zhuo took a deep breath and asked the question that concerned him most, "What about Ye Qiao? Was she arrested too?"

He belatedly realized something was wrong. After hearing these people's speculations, Su Zhuo could only grit his teeth and protect this group of alchemists. The strong ones were either in the palace or had disappeared without a trace, specifically referring to Ye Qiao.

"No. She took Zhu You and went off to do something."

Upon hearing that Ye Qiao had run away, Su Zhuo breathed a sigh of relief for some reason.

Si Miao said, "Now we only have one way out: stall until the reinforcements from Changming Sect arrive, and then hope that Xie Chuxue can trample the Demon Lord underfoot and descend like a god."

Su Zhuo replied without hesitation, "That's impossible." If Xie Chuxue could defeat the Demon Lord, would it still be called the Demon Realm? It should be renamed the Xie Realm. Besides, given Xie Chuxue's personality, if he could defeat him, he would definitely do such a thing.

"So the second option is to wait for Ye Qiao."

"She left with Zhu You; I guess she has other plans."

After a pause, Miao Miao said, "I believe her. Probably..." She didn't know what to do next.

They were too well protected.

"Experience is not a grand competition; life and death are your own responsibility." This was the first time Miao Miao truly understood the meaning of this sentence.

There won't be any elders watching them from the sidelines all the time.

Su Zhuo slowly exhaled, "Ye Qiao..."

Second Senior Sister.

He simply couldn't bring himself to say those three words.

Si Miaoyan said in a low voice, "Let's go save them first."

Su Zhuo nodded reluctantly.

The sky turned purple, as if something ominous was about to emerge.

The surging demonic energy around them was subtly suppressed, replaced by a murky dark mist. Su Zhuo subconsciously wanted to stick on a talisman to test it, but Miao Miao quickly reached out and grabbed him, "Don't touch that thing."

"If you get it, it will corrode you."

At the street corner, the moment the fog touched the bodies of the dead, their white bones were revealed.

"What is this?"

Si Miaoyan shook her head, somewhat distraught, "Never seen it before."

It seems to have appeared out of nowhere.

Why is the sky this color?

Miao Miao was puzzled.

Previously, it was clearly black, so dark that not a single ray of moonlight could penetrate. This was a different feeling from the previous oppressive atmosphere; it was ominous and made one feel a sense of tension.

……

On the other side, Ye Qiao hung up the jade slip and pulled Zhu You to the evil cultivators' headquarters. She deliberately chose a place far away from the palace to avoid being disturbed. Zhu You was worried about the situation outside, so she was pulled into the evil cultivators' headquarters by her.

"What are you going to do?"

Ye Qiao drew her Flying Immortal Sword and casually replied, "Summon an evil god once."

Demons, right?

wait.

Since we can't beat him, let's invite someone from the underworld to fight him.

A few heretical cultivators remained at the stronghold, chanting some kind of ritual. When they saw two people intruding, they instinctively shouted, "Insolence!"

Zhu You didn't waste any words with him. A sword aura as smooth as flowing water swept past, and the man fell to the ground in a daze, a bloody hole left in his chest.

The unfinished ritual was displayed on it. When the two evil cultivators saw their companion fall to the ground, they instinctively froze and remained motionless.

They were terrified that they would be killed at any moment.

Ye Qiao cut her palm, soaked it, and smeared it on the strange pattern. Then, she casually kicked away the evil cultivator who was frozen in place, took his place, knelt on the ground, and began to pray.

The heretical cultivator: "..."

For a moment, they couldn't tell who the evil cultivator was.

He watched as Ye Qiao prayed skillfully. After dripping her blood, the blood they had gone through so much trouble to obtain had no effect. Under her blood, the other party actually responded.

"It's you."

The other person's voice was as unpleasant as ever.

But to Ye Qiao's ears now, it was simply heavenly music.

She said, "It's me."

"What do you want from me that you summoned me?" For some reason, Zhu You could hear a gnashing of teeth in the voice of this evil creature.

"I hope you can do me a small favor." Like killing the Demon Lord.

Perhaps out of respect for the constraints of Heaven's will, the evil god hesitated for a long time before finally saying, "Alright."

Ye Qiao boasted without changing his expression, "Indeed, my lord is my only faith in the cultivation world."

The evil cultivators fell silent instantly.

Ye Qiao looked at the evil god who was eating happily. She really didn't expect that one day she would actually invite the evil god. Seeing that her face turned pale, Zhu You knelt down in a proper manner and used the gestures that Ye Qiao had used again accurately.

Kneel down, cut your palm, and pray with her.

Two righteous disciples brazenly knelt in the stronghold of evil cultivators, invoking the evil god.

Ye Qiao and Zhu You, one with a top-grade spiritual root and the other with a heaven-grade spiritual root, with their frantic nurturing, finally stopped the pattern on it from absorbing blood. It was only one step away from completion, and the evil cultivator never expected that it would be completed by these two.

"You guys..." he stammered.

Ye Qiao almost lost her aloof composure and knelt on the ground, but she managed to steady herself. "Where are the last members of your evil cultivators?" she asked calmly, staring at him.

Having witnessed Ye Qiao kill the Golden Core stage evil cultivator with a single sword strike, he shuddered and said, "I'll go get them."

He was certain.

These two are genuine heretical practitioners.

Their prayer gestures were even more skillful than theirs.

"For our Lord." Ye Qiao was satisfied with his reaction, smiled slightly, and shouted the slogan: "For our faith!"

The heretical cultivator: "For our master!"

"Alright, go ahead." Ye Qiao patted his shoulder casually. "Find the evil cultivators and reclaim the honor that my master deserves in the time it takes to brew a cup of tea."

"yes!"

Zhu You: "..."

Claiming to exterminate the demon race and trample on their direct disciples, the evil cultivators were extremely excited and quickly began recruiting people.

There are far more evil cultivators than demonic cultivators in the human realm. Tens of thousands of them have fled from the cultivation world to the human realm, and many have gone into hiding. Ye Qiao completed the unfinished sacrificial ritual, and in an instant, the evil cultivators looked at her as if she were a savior.

She calculated how long it would take for the evil god to descend, then set a time for the assembly, shouted a meaningless slogan, and pulled Zhu You towards the palace.

All is ready except for the opportunity.

Zhu You appeared dazed the entire way.

Seeing that Ye Qiao seemed prepared to go to her death at the palace, she came to her senses. "If we're going to summon an evil god, shouldn't we find a corner to hide in and wait for them to fight amongst themselves?"

Ye Qiao: "I don't think they can fight each other."

So she needs to add fuel to the fire.

Zhu You could only follow her the whole time. Just when the Demon Lord was getting impatient and began to suspect that Ye Qiao was playing a trick on him, she finally arrived late.

Upon entering the palace, Ye Qiao saw her trusted disciples kneeling neatly on the ground, and...

Bloodstains on the ground.

Her heart tightened slightly. She glanced at the familiar faces, and seeing they were all unharmed, she composed herself. Looking at the high and mighty Demon Lord, Ye Qiao flashed a bright smile, and addressed the few demon guardians who were wary of her with a light tone:

Don't worry.

I'm not here to break you up.

"I'm here to join you."

The left and right guardians: "..."

Seemingly surprised by Ye Qiao's unconventional approach, the Demon Lord looked at her with interest. "Ye Qiao?"

"Did you see your fellow disciples and your senior uncle? Do you have anything to say?" His expression was somewhat gloomy.

She paused slightly, and seeing that the Demon Lord was about to unleash a massacre, Ye Qiao forcefully pushed aside the Left Protector, took the lead, knelt on one knee, and offered her loyalty.

"That's true."

"The sun rises in the east, Your Majesty is invincible, you will unify the three realms and reign for eternity."

"The Three Realms will surely follow your wishes."

The girl turned and lowered her head, concealing all her emotions.

The other disciples were forcibly pinned to the ground, and each of them wore an expression of great resentment.

Only Ye Qiao, without anyone forcing her to kneel, had already knelt down first.

Then they began to worship the Demon Lord.

This series of actions was so swift and decisive that it left the other protégés completely bewildered.

But it seems to be working quite well.

As expected, this unexpected slogan stunned even the Demon Lord. Ming Xuan, eager to try it out, glanced at his junior uncle and suddenly had an idea. "Junior Uncle, why don't you also go and learn from Ye Qiao to worship the Demon Lord?"

Xie Chuxue clutched her chest and laughed in exasperation.

He was very curious about what Ye Qiao wanted to do.

Ye Qiao looked up, her face sincere: "Your Majesty is my only faith in the Three Realms."

If I remember correctly, Zhu You's last faith was in an evil god, right?

Ye Qiao wanted to take advantage of the time difference.

Since the evil god has no idea what's happening on his side, let's hurry up and start fighting.

The one who wins is her only faith.

"Compared to your sect?" The Demon Lord wanted to see how much more she wanted to struggle.

Ye Qiao remained unfazed and belittled her own sect, saying, "They are not worthy to be compared to you."

What a ruthless person.

Such a fast reaction speed.

If they had even half the reaction speed of Ye Qiao, they wouldn't have ended up being tied up.

"I can swear. Every word I say to Your Majesty comes from the bottom of my heart."

"May anyone who disobeys be struck by lightning and die a horrible death."

Have some decency, Ye Qiao! She's not afraid of being struck by lightning at all!

Her spiritual root was almost saturated, and now that so much time has passed, she really needed a tribulation. She'd been at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm for quite some time, but... who taught her to make a vow so easily?

The Demon Lord sneered, "You have a Heavenly Grade Thunder Spirit Root, right?" He swore an oath to her? This Ye Qiao really dares to fool anyone.

"Yes," Ye Qiao replied casually, glancing at the scene not far away, where the pale purple light was growing increasingly intense, as if it would surge up at any moment. She suddenly looked up, revealing a light smile: "Oh. I really meant everything I said to you."

Just as the Demon Lord was about to strike, Xiao Qi pulled her away, and the girl's aura disappeared from the surroundings. Just as the Demon Lord was about to tear apart the domain and cut this disciple who dared to trick her into a thousand pieces, another aura, even more evil than his, spread out.

Please step back and worry a little.

"They're here."

An evil god has descended.

The others didn't react in time: "...Who's here?"

Zhu You said calmly, "Ye Qiao's second faith."
