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

"The location where the Ghost Realm appears has always been very strange." Song Hansheng looked at them sitting on the ground in such an unseemly manner, took a half step back, and said with some disdain, "It's useless for you to guard it like this."

Ming Xuan asked dejectedly, "The elders want us to go back?"

Song Hansheng gave a faint "hmm," and said, "People from the Demon Clan have arrived."

He paused, then said in a strange tone, "They've been in the secret realm for so long, to be precise, the Demon Realm is getting anxious."

"If their Demon Lord doesn't come out soon, they'll come and raze the Five Sects to the ground." As he said this, Song Hansheng couldn't help but sneer.

Zhou Xingyun gave a perfunctory reply, "Oh, we're so scared."

Xue Yu sighed, "So you're saying we're the ones who need to go and make a scene?"

The Demon Realm cannot be without a ruler for a single day. Although there has been constant friction between the Demon Clan and the Five Sects, they have always been fighting each other behind the scenes. There has never been a direct declaration of war. Therefore, it is conceivable that the demons sent out are probably some of the most powerful and outstanding geniuses in the Demon Realm who have come to issue a warning.

Since the elders of the five sects were unable to take action themselves, they naturally had to rely on them.

Song Hansheng nodded. There were still some decent people in Changming Sect. He said, "It's no use for you to guard this place. Besides, who knows who might suffer inside the Ghostly Realm."

Mu Chongxi stretched and grumbled, "That's true, but with the Demon Lord, the Evil God, and a secret realm, I'm still quite worried."

Seeing the four of them dawdling and dragging their feet, Song Hansheng grew impatient. "You can wait until things are over, right? Then..." He hesitated for a moment, then said expressionlessly, "I can wait with you."

Mu Chongxi exclaimed "Eh!" and noticed Song Hansheng's strange stuttering. He immediately laughed and said, "Alright, alright, come on, let's go see which member of the demon race is so fearless as to dare to act so presumptuously under the Five Sects."

He walked away happily with his arm around Song Hansheng's shoulder, acting as if he were one of them.

The group rushed to the Moon Purity Sect to offer assistance. Compared to the dawdling of the Changming Sect, the other sects had already arrived. The elders were discussing matters, and they listened half-heartedly. It wasn't until the conversation turned to the demon race's raid on the Moon Purity Sect under Yun Que's leadership that they finally perked up.

Recalling the scene, the Grand Elder of the Moon Purity Sect had a gloomy expression. "They broke through several formations in succession, seemingly trying to find something, but they couldn't find it. They even broke into the Moon Purity Sect's forbidden area for this purpose."

Being caught off guard and having their home raided was something even a major sect like the Yueqing Sect, with its thousand-year history, had never encountered before.

It's not like a storybook; where do all these people who go mad for love and destroy their sects come from? Turns out, there really are some.

Moreover, the reason why Yun Que betrayed the sect was completely baffling.

"You broke into the forbidden area for the Moon Arrow?" Xue Yu remembered the Moon Arrow that Ye Qiao had taken away. The Demon Clan's purpose in breaking into the Moon Purification Sect was to find the Moon Arrow?

Unfortunately, Ye Qiao had taken the Moon Arrow away not long ago, so they had to return empty-handed.

Speaking of which, the Moon Purity Sect should thank Ye Qiao for his outrageous actions back then.

"To be precise, it should be that Yun Que wanted the Bright Moon Arrow, and thus told the Demon Clan." Song Hansheng figured this out. The treasure of the Moon Cleansing Sect, once shot, would render the array and restrictions incantations useless, which was indeed something to be coveted.

As expected, we underestimated her greed. Was she so eager to attack Mingyue Arrow after betraying her sect?

It's true what they say, "Don't let the good stuff go to outsiders."

"This wretched child. We shouldn't have kept her in the first place!"

The Moon Purity Sect invited a wolf into the house, and Yun Que almost shook the sect's foundation to the point of leaving nothing. This alone is enough for the other four sects to laugh at them for a long time. However, what Qin Fanfan was more curious about was whether Yun Que had paid any attention to the betrayal.

Even if being placed under the Demon Lord would strip him of his status as a direct disciple and his cultivation, he could simply start over. However, becoming a demon would result in the Five Sects issuing a direct order to kill him, and he would truly become like a rat crossing the street in the future.

"Why would Yun Que betray us?" Qin Fanfan felt that the Yueqing Sect was quite protective of its own, so it didn't make sense for her to betray the sect because of poor treatment.

Yunhen said in a deep voice, "How would I know?"

There must be something they don't know that led Yun Que to betray the sect. Yun Hen frantically tried to recall what was wrong. The atmosphere became heavy. Suddenly, Song Hansheng remembered the scene of Yun Que drawing talismans. He inexplicably sensed something unusual.

"Master," he looked at Yunhen, "if I remember correctly, I heard from the inner disciples that Yun Que's spiritual root was damaged?"

Song Hansheng used to be a typical person who was oblivious to the outside world and never left the main peak. His understanding of Yun Que was limited to a few words. However, because this junior sister's spiritual root talent was so highly praised, Song Hansheng couldn't help but mention the rumors about Yun Que.

Yunhen nodded. Yun Que was undoubtedly a genius. Yunhen's face was grim. "But he has been injured for a long time, and the cause cannot be found, so it cannot be cured. It can only be controlled with pills."

"Later, after she went out to gain experience and returned, the injuries to her spiritual root were healed."

Yunhen assumed she had found an opportunity, and Yunque didn't want to talk about it, so he went along with his little apprentice's wishes and explained it over in a few words.

Xie Chuxue's expression shifted slightly.

He gave Yunhen a disdainful look. "Doesn't your Yueqing Sect have any forbidden techniques? This is a gathering place for talisman cultivators, a forbidden area. You dare say there aren't any forbidden techniques?"

Switching spiritual roots is a forbidden technique, and if successful, the person whose roots were switched would likely not survive.

With no one to testify, what grounds do they have to doubt?

Yunhen's pupils suddenly trembled, and he looked at Xie Chuxue with surprise and uncertainty.

The Moon Purity Sect does indeed possess such a forbidden technique. Yunhen once felt compassion for it, but ultimately couldn't bring himself to do it.

Xie Chuxue returned his expression with an ambiguous look.

Upon hearing their speculation, the disciples' eyes widened slightly for a moment. Miao Miao exclaimed, "So, she ran away because she was afraid of being exposed and killed?"

The group guessed most or less correctly, so they knew they absolutely could not tolerate Yun Que's actions.

Currently, the power of the five sect leaders rests in Qin Fanfan's hands. Although Qin Fanfan is rather lazy and always likes to consult with the Sword Inquiry Sect when faced with problems, there's nothing left to discuss now, as Yun Que has fallen into demonic possession. Her spirituality is fundamentally questionable.

"Issue a kill order," Xie Chuxue said calmly. "Once the demon cloud magpies are discovered, kill them on the spot."

Yun Que has fallen into demonic possession, so they shouldn't be able to control her anymore. However, Yun Que comes from the Five Sects, and if she really does something that is morally reprehensible, then it is the Five Sects' responsibility to clean house.

……

"We can make a deal."

Ye Qiao dodged the combined attacks of the Demon Lord and the Evil God, leaping to safety. "Make a deal with me, and we'll all get out together. Everyone's happy."

A mere Golden Core cultivator trying to make deals with a Demon Lord or Evil God? Does she even deserve it?

The Ghostly Realm instinctively wanted to mock her, but remembering how her original body had been shattered by her attack, it wisely shut its mouth and dared not utter a sound.

"Look, there are the three of us." She paused, then clapped her hands. "If the secret realm and the illusion realm count as people, why can't the five of us have a proper chat when we're all together?"

The illusion almost shattered; who wants to have a proper chat with you?

"Don't you want to go out?"

The Demon Lord had heard of the Ghostly Realm, a place where one could only enter and never leave, but he never expected to be lured to such a horrific place. He looked at Ye Qiao, "Do you have any ideas?"

Ye Qiao waved her hand, "Hey hey hey, I used to get out of here by being forcibly cleaved by lightning."

As long as the secret realm is unwilling, it cannot be forcibly opened. It has its own consciousness, and neither the Demon Lord nor the Evil God has any conscience. After hearing that the lightning tribulation could split open the secret realm, the three of them looked at the transformed secret realm.

Their eyes simultaneously filled with threat and coldness.

Secret Realm: "???"

What kind of consensus did these three scoundrels reach?

"But I only experienced the tribulation when I broke through to the Golden Core stage," Ye Qiao reminded her. "I'm only in the mid-Golden Core stage now." I'm three realms away from the Nascent Soul stage. Her tribulation would definitely be fatal.

The Demon Lord instantly recalled her solemn vow, staring at her coldly without any emotion, his violent emotions almost uncontrollable.

Sensing his killing intent, the four spirit swords imprisoned within Ye Qiao's domain hopped out and started banging on the Demon Lord, causing another upheaval within the secret realm.

"What is your method?" the silent evil god slowly spoke.

Ye Qiao: "It's also about borrowing lightning tribulation. The premise is that you're willing to cooperate with me." She looked at the secret realm and revealed a smile that made the secret realm uneasy.

The evil god stared at her menacingly. Would he cooperate with her?

The last person she collaborated with is probably long gone.

"Then let's just wait it out." Seeing that neither of them was willing to cooperate, Ye Qiao didn't care about lying down and giving up. "Anyway, I don't think the secret realm wants to let us out. Maybe by the time you get out, your empire will be gone."

"And you too." She looked at the evil god who was chuckling and said calmly, "By the time you leave, your followers will have already switched faiths."

Evil God: "..."

Ye Qiao wasn't in a hurry at all; she had so many direct disciples from the Five Sects. Losing her wouldn't cause any problems; it was these two who were anxious.

The ghost realm has legs and can move around frequently, making it difficult to rescue people in time.

Unless it is willing to open the exit of the secret realm.

Otherwise, the three of them could just keep at it until the end of time.

Ye Qiao was also pondering how to deal with the current situation. The evil god could not be let go, and the demon lord would also be a threat once he left. Once the other party recovered his cultivation, he would turn around and kill her in the next second.

The evil god kept glancing at Ye Qiao, seemingly plotting something.

Three scoundrels were gathered together. The secret realm, not trusting them, silently watched the scene from the sidelines after disappearing into nothingness.

At first, Ye Qiao was able to sit still and was prepared to hold out for several months. However, after only a few days, the evil god couldn't take it anymore. It had been sealed for a long time and hadn't even gone out to wreak havoc before being brought to this godforsaken place. It was going crazy. Faced with Ye Qiao's suggestion, it finally responded.

The Demon Lord is too threatening; it's best to deal with him quickly in the secret realm. As for Ye Qiao?

Her cultivation level was too low to pose a significant threat, and her mysterious junior uncle was not by her side, so she probably couldn't escape.

Ye Qiao and the Evil God exchanged a glance, then silently pointed at the Demon Lord, signaling him to kill the Demon Lord together first.

After a moment's hesitation, the evil god's dark shadow moved, which could be considered a response.

After making the deal with the evil god, Ye Qiao set up a soundproof array and knocked on the barrier around it. "I know you're eavesdropping. Secret Realm."

She narrowed her eyes. "After we deal with the Demon Lord, you help me deal with this evil creature." Ye Qiao raised her chin. "That way, I won't destroy your secret realm."

Secret Realm: "?"

"Why should I?" It floated lightly to the ground.

"You haven't reached the Nascent Soul stage yet, have you?" Even if she were incredibly powerful, she couldn't possibly break through three realms in a row. Want to get out? The secret realm sneered. How could it possibly let her have her way?

In fact, it would be what it wanted to see if any of these three got into trouble.

Therefore, the secret realm wouldn't kindly remind anyone.

Ye Qiao smiled and asked, "Have you ever heard of the constraints of Heaven?"

"The party that violates this rule will be struck by lightning, and if they don't comply, they'll be relentlessly struck. Guess who holds this constraint?"

Ye Qiao had the initiative to restrain the evil god. All she had to do was to make things difficult for the evil god, and if the evil god refused her wish, heavenly lightning would keep falling.

In other words, its secret realm will be constantly being cleaved.

Until it was cleaved apart again.

Ye Qiao planned to use this method to get out. Of course, if the secret realm was sensible and let her out after she finished dealing with the Demon Lord and the Evil God, she could choose not to destroy it.

Unbelievable secret realm of such operation: "..."
