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

Ye Qiao's second faith?

Isn't the Demon Lord her only faith?

Her eloquent speech had completely stunned the Demon Lord; she had single-handedly taken control of the situation with her words alone, leaving him no choice but to admire her.

The black sky was tinged with a gloomy purple, and the world became eerily strange. Black mist spread through the air, and Xie Chuxue's pupils contracted slightly.

Evil god?

This was an extremely infectious evil spirit, and judging from its aura, it was about to descend and was constantly approaching them. Xie Chuxue suddenly saw the signs of its appearance, turned around sharply, and was slightly taken aback. "Didn't you stop it?"

When he arrived, most of the evil cultivators had been eliminated, and the remaining rabble was no match for them, so they shouldn't have succeeded.

Something must have happened that Xie Chuxue wasn't aware of.

"We stopped it." Zhu You numbly said, "Then we prayed and we came back."

Xie Chuxue: "Huh?"

He could barely understand each word individually, but when put together, his expression went blank. "What do you mean by 'you two prayed for me to come back'?"

Zhu You: "Literal meaning."

"Ye Qiao and I went to invite the evil god." But judging from the situation, it's an enemy, not a friend. I wonder if Ye Qiao can handle such a thrilling scene.

Ye Qiao repeatedly confirmed, "Junior Uncle, you can run away, right?"

Xie Chuxue pondered for a moment, "So, what's wrong?"

Ye Qiao: "If the Demon Lord and the Evil God descend at the same time to cause me trouble, Junior Uncle, what are the chances that you can help me escape?"

Xie Chuxue: "..."

He smiled, instantly understanding who had suggested that Zhu You had brought back the evil spirits. "What do you plan to do?"

Ye Qiao stared at the purple, ominous aura emanating from the sky, stroked her chin, and pondered, "I think I... messed up?"

But then again, it seems not; she holds three Heavenly Dao constraints in her hands.

These three methods are not foolproof. If all of them are used, then they will be invalid. Judging from the way the evil god seems to want to devour her alive, Ye Qiao needs to be careful.

Demon Lord: "An evil god?"

He watched the evil energy gathering without giving it much thought, assuming that the evil cultivators had succeeded in their prayers.

Seeing his plan ruined, the Demon Lord felt gloomy for a moment. His purpose in coming here was to target Ye Qiao.

He hoped Ye Qiao would be sensible and not struggle too much.

Who would have thought that an evil god would descend upon them? The evil god's failure to descend was partly due to his own calculations. His followers had been almost entirely wiped out by his disciples, so how could he possibly descend? A failed evil god is not even worthy of carrying his shoes.

Surprisingly, it succeeded at this point.

The Demon Lord found it unbelievable.

A cloud of black mist slowly gathered in front of her, transforming into a human form. Upon landing, it rushed straight at Ye Qiao, shouting, "I'll devour you, you brat, right now!!"

With both old and new grudges combined, the evil god was enraged, and a terrifying aura spread out.

It's all because of that damned monk, who dared to play tricks on it.

Ye Qiao didn't take a single step back, conveying her thoughts to the other person with a light, airy sentence: "Within the rules, you cannot hurt me."

Righteous cultivators are not afraid of divine punishment, while evil cultivators avoid it like the plague. Righteous cultivators might be able to withstand two strikes during their tribulation, but evil cultivators would die if struck twice.

Heaven's way is not so gentle to everyone.

As expected, it was wary of the rules set by Ye Qiao, and it suddenly stopped in its tracks. Its expression changed several times, and it certainly did not dare to harm her.

To others, it looked like an evil god charging towards Ye Qiao, then obediently stopping there. Chu Xingzhi remarked, "When did she become so powerful that she dares to control an evil god?"

Zhu You: "..."

Her brows furrowed. To be honest, Zhu You didn't think an evil god would be so friendly to its believers, but the evil god actually stopped in front of Ye Qiao, like a wild beast that had put away its claws.

Overthinking is a disease; those in positions of power tend to overthink, and the Demon Lord is especially suspicious by nature.

Seeing Ye Qiao and the evil god exchanging words, the ignored Demon Lord sneered and naturally categorized the evil god as Ye Qiao's side, believing that this evil creature had been plotting from the beginning and was joining forces with Ye Qiao to deal with him.

If he had just asked one question, he would have understood that the two of them actually had the same goal: to kill Ye Qiao.

But he didn't ask. Instead, he narrowed his eyes, looked at the evil god, and slowly let out a cold laugh. "You ignorant fool, that's my follower."

"Who do you think you are?" The evil god instinctively replied, "Those are my followers." Indeed, followers are all its prey. Things to be eaten.

This was no less than a provocation. How could Ye Qiao, a disciple of the righteous path, possibly become its follower? The Demon Lord looked at it with an icy coldness, seeing that it still dared to be arrogant at this moment.

The evil god and the demon lord, who had collided with the believers, exchanged terrifying killing intent.

The evil god was actually quite confused.

It was unaware of what had happened, only knowing that it had been tricked by a mere Golden Core cultivator and had three constraints imposed upon it. If it wanted to go on a killing spree and conquer the cultivation world, then it had to use these three constraints.

Upon being awakened, he sensed Ye Qiao's presence and immediately gave chase, intending to kill her, but was restrained and stopped in his tracks.

What confused the evil god even more was that since it couldn't harm her, it could control her and turn her into a puppet. But before it could even attack Ye Qiao, it was stopped by that thing called the Demon Lord.

The black mist surrounding the evil god surged incessantly, emitting strange sounds, and those who stood in its way would die.

Why are you protecting Ye Qiao like this?

Ha. It can't kill Ye Qiao yet, but it can't kill this guy either.

Ye Qiao didn't use the second Heavenly Dao constraint, but the Demon Lord, who was good at imagining things, automatically categorized the evil god as her side, and the two demons started fighting without warning.

The clash between the evil creature and the demon lord left those with weaker cultivation prostrate on the ground, trembling all over, too afraid to move.

Mingxuan and the others barely managed to stop themselves. With their cultivation levels, they couldn't even look directly at the scene. Two terrifying forces were locked in combat. Regardless of the outcome, all they could see was that the horizon seemed to be torn apart by these two forces, creating a massive spectacle and cracking the ground as if it were a natural disaster.

As countless black gases and corrosive mists spread out, Mingxuan cursed under his breath, "This is bad!" and ordered, "Set up an array."

At the very least, it shouldn't affect ordinary people.

The talisman cultivators were stunned, as if waking from a dream. They were completely dumbfounded by the situation before them.

They recognized the Demon Lord, but what was that terrifying behemoth?

They were actually able to fight the Demon Lord to a standstill.

"That's an evil god." Zhou Xiu had seen it before. His lips trembled as he remembered everything. It must have been this evil god that had been chasing them back then, so it should hate Ye Qiao very much.

How did they end up fighting the Demon Lord?

Zhou Xiu couldn't understand it.

They have the same goal.

……

Even the Demon Lord and the Evil God wouldn't dare to do anything to those ordinary people. Killing a few is fine, but if the number becomes too large, the Heavenly Dao cannot sit idly by.

Out of respect for the will of Heaven, the two decided to fight in mid-air, where the sun and moon lost their light, and the sky and earth became dark.

The human world clearly could not withstand such an illogical fight. Heavenly lightning gradually gathered in mid-air, eager to strike down the two who had intruded into the human world and violated the rules.

Even though their power has been weakened, it still exceeds what the human world can bear. One is enough, and Heaven can choose to turn a blind eye.

Two appearing at the same time?

How could two of them appear at the same time?

too weird.

The heavenly lightning gathered, ready to set things right. One person unleashed a bolt of lightning, which struck down like a silver dragon, scorching the ground and instantly turning the night, shrouded in demonic and evil energy, into daylight.

A loud "boom" resounded.

Not only the mortal realm, but even the cultivation world was alarmed.

What's happening in the human world?

Two bolts of lightning forcefully separated them, and then another earth-shattering force was about to collide again. Xie Chuxue merely glanced up and said, "Let them fight. Whoever wins, you'll be their follower."

Either one of them could easily crush Ye Qiao, yet she managed to provoke two of them. Even the usually unreliable Xie Chuxue was deeply impressed.

Ye Qiao rummaged through the mustard seed bag: "We probably can't leave yet." The matter wasn't finished.

The evil god and the demon lord are not complete fools. Once they realize that their strengths are roughly equal, they will definitely not clash head-on.

Ye Qiao couldn't possibly order the Evil God to kill the Demon Lord. Her last remaining restraint wasn't ready to be used yet. Once it was used up, if the Evil God couldn't kill the Demon Lord, or if one of them died, then she would be next to die.

The two evil entities were locked in a stalemate, which was the outcome she wanted to see.

During their struggle, Ye Qinghan and Mu Chongxi, who had been captured separately by the Demon Lord, simultaneously reached for the swords at their waists, cut the chains binding them, and landed from mid-air.

With their current cultivation level, they have no way of seeing the battle situation clearly.

How did they start fighting?

It doesn't give anyone any psychological preparation at all.

Mu Chongxi moved his wrist. "What should we do now?"

Are we just going to stand by and watch?

Running is definitely not an option.

There are still many innocent people behind them. They need to finish dealing with their affairs in the human world before they can run away. Besides, they can't escape anyway. For a powerful being of this level, it's just a futile struggle.

That was the Demon Lord, whom even the five sect leaders dared not confront head-on.

"Junior Uncle." Ye Qiao seemed lost in thought.

She took out a map, and after calculating for a while, her tone became more sincere: "Now, let's run."

Xie Chuxue: "..."

He was somewhat at a loss for words, both amused and exasperated.

Having witnessed Ye Qiao's pleasant collaboration with any of her disciples inside the memory stone, Xie Chuxue never imagined that one day it would be her turn to collaborate with her junior disciple. She scratched her head and said, "Alright, alright."

"Your followers and his followers seem to look exactly alike?"

Xie Chuxue added fuel to the fire with her cunning.

The next second, he grabbed Ye Qiao and disappeared from the spot.

Without a doubt, the evil god and the demon lord are enemies. One hates the despicable demon lord for preventing its appearance in the world, while the other despises the evil creature for disrupting its grand plan.

Upon hearing Xie Chuxue's words, they became even angrier, and the believers on both sides fought fiercely.

While the two of them were fighting, Xie Chuxue asked, "Where are you planning to run off to?"

Honestly, at that moment he really wanted to channel Master Ma, grab Ye Qiao by the collar and roar, "Why do you always manage to provoke the BOSS?!"

Ye Qiao seemed to have just come to her senses, and after saying "Oh," she replied, "Running towards the cultivation world."

Xie Chuxue frowned slightly, almost unconsciously.

Is it the cultivation world?

"Xiao Qiao," he had to remind her, "their strength in the cultivation world is far more terrifying than it is now. The trouble you've caused might be difficult to clean up later."

In this situation, not only would the Five Sects be thrown into chaos, but they would also have to ask the old fogies of the Eight Great Families for help. After all, evil gods are easier to deal with in the mortal realm. If the sacrifice is not completed, those disciples have the ability to seal them away.

Who would have thought she would bring him back?

stimulate.

Xie Chuxue's heart couldn't take it anymore.

Even if you defeat the evil god, there's still the demon lord to deal with.

The demons dare not wage war against cultivators, but they can still cause trouble while the cultivators are sealing away the evil god. They are like troublemakers; demons are everywhere.

If both the evil god and the demon lord were to be brought back to the cultivation world at the same time, it would definitely cause two problems.

"Forget it, forget it." Xie Chuxue thought for a moment, "Let those old men worry about this kind of thing."

If Ye Qiao hadn't invited the evil god, they would have been the ones in trouble. Although the method was a bit crazy, it was better than sitting and waiting to die. They couldn't just wait to die after being captured by the Demon Lord.

Xie Chuxue switched formations, grabbed Ye Qiao, and used the shrinking technique to shrink the distance to an inch, moving at an extremely fast speed.

Ye Qiao slipped away. The Demon Lord, who had been keeping an eye on her movements, figured out that the two were heading towards the cultivation world. He was no longer in a hurry. He narrowed his eyes and almost burst out laughing.

Are you planning to ask those old folks for help?

The Demon Lord gave chase.

As the evil god watched Ye Qiao disappear, he finally realized what had happened.

After realizing that the Demon Lord wanted to kill Ye Qiao, it decisively chose not to pursue him.

It would be best if Ye Qiao died; if she died, then the constraints would no longer exist.

It now wants to return to the cultivation world and reclaim everything that belongs to it.

As the two evil spirits disappeared, the sky, which had been darkened by the attack, gradually changed and returned to normal.

"..."

"Are we safe now?"

"No way?"

Their legs were almost numb from kneeling, but after all that, Ye Qiao actually took care of it all by herself?

Like emotionless kneeling tools, the group of disciples kneeling in neat rows was quite comical. All around was quiet, indicating that there was indeed no danger. The two evil spirits rushed to the cultivation world, heading straight for the route Ye Qiao had taken to escape, without even glancing back at the other disciples.

They all loved Ye Qiao so deeply.

"My lord."

"My Lord..." A group of evil cultivators knelt down, tears streaming down their faces, trying to persuade their Lord to take them with him when he went to the cultivation world.

Zhu You looked at these heretical cultivators, lost in thought.

These were all summoned by Ye Qiao.

Never mind, Ye Qiao must have her reasons for doing this.

The people who know Ye Qiao best are definitely her senior brothers. Zhu You repeated the previous scene and asked them how to deal with these evil cultivators.

Mu Chongxi narrowed his eyes and reached out to pat one of the evil cultivators on the shoulder.

Upon seeing that it was a direct disciple, they were so frightened they almost screamed.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid." Mingxuan took a deep breath, and his face turned somewhat grim as he thought of his missing junior sister. "We're not good people."

"But coincidentally, neither are you." He recalled the scene of Ye Qiao being relentlessly chased by two evil beings, and worried that Ye Qiao might overreact. Composing himself, Ming Xuan smiled and said, "Aren't you going to catch up?"

"Follow in the footsteps of your Lord."

"Quickly, let's go to the cultivation world together. We must not let our lord be lonely and cold."

Perhaps encouraged by these disciples, the evil cultivators immediately gave chase.

The chaotic human world fell silent in an instant. After surviving the calamity, the entire palace was in ruins, and there were some cultivators sobbing softly. But the others had no interest in being sentimental and ran off to the cultivation world to check on Ye Qiao's condition.

I know she's always been adventurous, but this is all within her control.

Controlling evil gods and demon lords?

Who the hell can control that?

Without the interference of the evil god, the Demon Lord's pursuit went very smoothly.

The Five Sects are currently too busy to deal with him, and those old fogies can't stop him either.

Ye Qiao was already his.

Xie Chuxue was almost rolling on the ground in the breeze as he led Ye Qiao to several different locations.

Ye Qiao remained calm, still holding the map in her hand.

Xie Chuxue glanced at it and realized what she had been looking at: "Huh? You still kept it?"

The map of the secret realm during the Grand Competition is available for every secret realm. Even the disciples need to do a plan in advance before entering the secret realm. How could someone be so stingy as to keep such a thing?

Ye Qiao was carried away by her junior uncle as if nothing had happened. Xie Chuxue was truly skilled, able to change locations continuously. Unless they were the Demon Lord, they couldn't even see Xie Chuxue's figure.

She was so envious of that kind of movement.

"Take me to the Great Secret Realm, Junior Uncle," Ye Qiao suddenly said.

Xie Chuxue was slightly taken aback when she heard this, but without saying anything more, she rushed to the location of the secret realm.

The Great Secret Realm opens only once every hundred years; it requires a bit of luck.

However, not long after the Grand Secret Realm competition among the disciples ended, various secret realms of all sizes opened one after another in a hundred years. Xie Chuxue hurriedly led Ye Qiao to find several small secret realms.

There was no way to enter any major secret realm.

Seeing that the Demon Lord was closing in on them, and Xie Chuxue was getting weaker, Ye Qiao suddenly thought of something.

He stretched out his hand and raised his middle finger towards the air.

Thunder rumbled down from the sky. Xie Chuxue looked up and was so frightened she almost split her head open: "Aaaaah, you little brat!"

He was almost struck squarely by the lightning.

In another great secret realm, the pitch-black realm was frantically devouring all kinds of heavenly treasures. Sensing the movement of the heavenly lightning, it subconsciously trembled.

Xie Chuxue paused in her shaking of Ye Qiao, sensing the fluctuations in spiritual energy within the secret realm, and instantly understood what Ye Qiao was planning to do.

He patted her on the shoulder. "Found it."

Everyone knows that a secret realm is an inanimate object, but there is one secret realm that is different: the Ghost Secret Realm, a secret realm that took form due to the favor of the Heavenly Dao. Since it was shattered by Ye Qiao once, it needs to recuperate and constantly devour spiritual objects.

This secret realm is also quite cunning; it appears every now and then, eats, and then leaves.

The secret realm has no conscience whatsoever; sometimes it even eats people.

Xie Chuxue led Ye Qiao to the place where he sensed the gas fluctuations. The Ghost Realm had no opening or closing mechanism; it was entirely up to the Ghost Realm. At this moment, it was completely focused on absorbing the gas. Ye Qiao immediately shook off Xie Chuxue and headed straight for the Ghost Realm.

Without Xie Chuxue to help her escape, the Demon Lord caught up in the blink of an eye.

As they drew ever closer to the secret realm, Ye Qiao used her agile cultivation technique to dodge, seemingly still wanting to escape. To prevent her from slipping away again, the Demon Lord unleashed a powerful burst of demonic energy, using his oppressive aura to forcibly restrain her.

Upon entering the area of ​​the Great Secret Realm, Ye Qiao abruptly stopped.

Soon, the Demon Lord realized something was wrong.

This ghostly realm seemed to be starving, wanting to devour anyone it saw, not even the Demon Lord, who opened his mouth to try and swallow him.

Demon Lord: "? How dare you!"

Ghostly Realm: "?"

presumptuous?

After being driven mad by the attack, it frantically hunted for food, eager to devour any spiritual creature it saw. There was nothing the secret realm couldn't swallow. Ye Qiao had also witnessed the terrifying nature of the secret realm; it could be opened silently to imprison everyone inside. Once inside, no one could leave without its permission.

Ghostly Realm sneered, almost unable to resist replying.

—You're the one who's being presumptuous.

After entering the secret realm, Ye Qiao finally breathed a sigh of relief, suppressing her cultivation to the most reasonable Nascent Soul stage. Without hesitation, she cut her palm and said, "My lord, I beg for your descent. Please answer me."

The evil god, newly arrived in the cultivation world and poised to stir up trouble: "..."

It was forced to descend again, this time as a constraint, and it had to respond to her prayers.

Now that Ye Qiao has used up her restraints, she only has one last constraint left. If she uses it again, she will be completely at its mercy.

Upon thinking this, the evil god chuckled and unleashed a frenzied aura of wickedness.

Hahahaha.

It has arrived.

Then, it was swallowed up by the starving Ghost Realm.
