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

Because they were in a hurry to hire people, Ye Qiao led a few senior brothers and sneaked into the Qi family that night. The Qi family was a family of artifact cultivators, and they didn't have as many exaggerated formations as talisman cultivators. They only needed to be careful of those magical artifacts, and sneaking in was already a piece of cake.

It was easier to find out where Qi Lu was staying. After scouting the place in advance, they blocked Qi Lu in his room.

To be honest, Qi Lu was almost scared to death when several people suddenly appeared in his room. After seeing who they were, he relaxed. "Oh, it's you guys?"

Is there something wrong with this?

It's the middle of the night, and you're scaring him by leaving him here instead of letting him sleep.

Ye Qiao cut to the chase: "We have something we'd like to ask you for help with."

Qi Lu had guessed it; after all, why would they bother sneaking into his house if there was nothing else to do?

"Since you have something to discuss, why didn't you send a formal invitation and come in openly? Or contact me through the jade slip?" Qi Lu pondered for a moment. "Or are you enjoying the thrill of thieves by sneaking into the Qi family at night?"

Is it really that hard to just submit a message properly before coming in?

"You guessed right." Ye Qiao smiled at him, looking like she hadn't expected him to see through her, and said, "Hey, I just like this kind of morally reprehensible thrill."

Qi Lu: "..."

He recalled that an elder of the Moon Cleansing Sect had also been secretly spyed on by a disciple of the Sword Inquiry Sect. He took a deep breath and suddenly understood.

So, this practice of mutually causing illness is actually a tradition passed down by you?

Qi Lu took out a luminous pearl so that the three of them wouldn't have to chat in the dark. "You've come to see me because of the demon race and the monster race, right?"

He knew a little bit of the news, but Qi Lu hadn't expected that Ye Qiao and the others would actually come to him.

Although they had a life-or-death bond in the Ghost Realm, it was a fact that the Eight Great Families wouldn't lend anyone. He thought Ye Qiao and the others would back down, but Qi Lu underestimated them. They actually came to his house!

"It's chaotic outside right now, and the Five Sects are desperately short-handed." Mingxuan's lips curled into a smile as he subtly encouraged, "Since you're just idling around anyway, why don't you join in some of this exciting stuff?"

Qi Lu hesitated for a few seconds, "Our family doesn't allow us to get involved in these kinds of things. It's a family rule." He wasn't really indifferent; he was only a teenager, and who didn't have a passionate dream of saving people?

Damn it, the Eight Great Families ruined him!!

"Can they kill you?"

Qi Lu shook his head, "No, that won't happen. If you misbehave, you'll be put in solitary confinement. Being surrounded by a group of your direct subordinates won't be fatal, but it will be very embarrassing."

The eight prominent families wouldn't resort to violence; they value face and rules above all else.

"That settles it then." Ye Qiao stood by the window, ready to run if anything went wrong. She gripped the frame tightly, her face serious. "Qi Lu, we're short of people to save the world right now. Want to come with us?" They were short-handed, so they could try to persuade as many of their loyal followers as possible.

Qi Lu was silent for a few seconds. "You're short of artifact cultivators, aren't you?" Having artifact cultivators is like having a walking artifact supply machine. He rationally analyzed, "Your Changming Sect doesn't have any artifact cultivators, so you want to recruit me."

"You've been watching the chaos unfold outside the Qi family. Once things calm down, the Qi family won't remember your obedience and good behavior, but at least if this turmoil ends, we will remember you, and the cultivators in the cultivation world will remember you."

Ye Qiao's words were like the whisper of a demon. After she finished speaking, she only asked, "Will you do it or not?"

Not only did the direct descendants yearn for instant fame and recognition, but the direct descendants of the Eight Great Families also harbored similar thoughts, for this was indeed a good opportunity to prove themselves.

It was incredibly tempting, at least for the loyalists.

Qi Lu was momentarily swayed by the encouragement. He nodded emphatically, met Ye Qiao's calm eyes, and decided, "Let's do it."

Having successfully turned one of her loyal followers against her, Ye Qiao turned her attention to Qi Yu.

Compared to Qi Lu's somewhat cautious nature, Qi Yu didn't think so much when she was approached. When Ye Qiao asked her if she wanted to cooperate, Qi Yu blinked and instantly became excited, grasping Ye Qiao's hand, "That's exactly what I want."

The next line is "I dare not ask."

She was somewhat agitated.

If someone encourages her to go out and cause trouble, she might not even hesitate to smash them with a set of magical artifacts and tell them to get lost.

But if that person is Ye Qiao, that's a different story. She had long admired the days when these people cooperated and fought together; it looked very interesting.

Upon hearing Ye Qiao's invitation, she immediately forgot all about clan rules. "How many magical artifacts do you need to borrow? If you're short-handed, we can stay and help you win over a few more. Trust me, we still have a certain amount of influence in the Qi family."

Qi Lu couldn't help but cover his face when he saw his younger sister looking so worthless.

"Alright." Ye Qiao first put away the magical artifacts given to her by the Qi siblings. "After we finish dealing with the demon race, I'll use the jade slip to call you all together."

We don't need to use magical artifacts for now, but we'll inevitably have to fight the demons, so the role of magical artifacts will be crucial.
