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

Xie Chuxue paused, stunned by his extravagance, and choked for a moment before saying softly, "You guys are really something, what other surprises do you have that I don't know about..."

First, he brought back a bunch of his own people, and then he stole his own family's talismans.

The difference between normal and abnormal is just one Ye Qiao.

"What do you think the two races are after by joining forces?" Mu Chongxi pondered this question.

Although the demon race is smaller in number, there are plenty of Golden Core cultivators. Even though the demon race is weaker than Golden Core cultivators of the same level, they are still genuine Golden Core cultivators. The demon race can be said to be driven by their ambitions, but what do the monster race want?

Qin Fanfan also thought of this, "And the demons are a little stronger than before."

While it's not exactly troublesome, this sudden change is really strange.

"The specific reasons for their increased strength are unknown, but in short, if you encounter demons, you must be extremely careful."

The group nodded obediently, and all that remained for the elders was to plan the group coordination for the upcoming battle against the demons.

"Chu Xingzhi," the Sword Inquiry Sect Master called out, "You and Mu Chongxi can stop the Demon Clan's young master and his group of demons without any problems, right?"

Chu Xingzhi was the third person to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, and he did so after comprehending the Dao of Inquiry. Although he was also at the Nascent Soul stage, his realm and strength were much more stable than the other Nascent Soul stage cultivators.

Even without Ye Qinghan, Chu Xingzhi is capable of standing on his own.

With Mu Chongxi added to the mix, the two of them should have no problem intercepting the Demon Clan's young master.

The sect leader of the Sword Inquiry Sect thought for a moment and then provided the two with another piece of information: "It is said that the young master of the demon race has a lightning spiritual root. If all else fails, you two should find Ye Qiao and get shocked by her a few more times, just as a practice session."

The two looked at each other and nodded. "Okay, we understand." They prepared to go find Ye Qiao and take the initiative to get a phone call after the arrangements were completed.

Sigh. One's a naive and innocent girl, the other's stubborn and headstrong—this combination is easy to fool.

The sect leader of the Sword Inquiry Sect coughed twice without making a sound. "Zhou Xingyun and Ye Qinghan will stay in the main city separately. Don't forget to lead the other senior brothers and sisters to protect the alchemists."

"On the battlefield, they are the ones who can extend someone's life."

Ye Qinghan respectfully replied.

To be honest, sword cultivators actually quite enjoy dealing with these weak and helpless alchemists, as it gives them a sense of superiority from overwhelming their martial prowess.

Coincidentally, after their collaboration, the alchemists also began to enjoy interacting with the sword cultivators, which gave them a sense of superiority due to their superior intellect.

This mutual sense of superiority made the atmosphere between the two sides relatively harmonious.

At least they won't start a fight.

"Mingxuan, Song Hansheng, Su Zhuo, and Zhai Chen, the four of you go and guard the array near the main city. Tell them not to damage the array." There are four arrays, so it's perfect to send the four of them to guard one side each.

"Ye Qiao, Qin Huai, Zhu You, you are responsible for intercepting the demon experts." He called out the names of all the sword cultivators from the three sects in turn, and said, "If you can't win, retreat. There's no need to fight to the death."

The strength of the demons is unknown and they are the most dangerous. Originally, Ye Qinghan and Zhou Xingyun should have been sent, but after thinking it over, it was more appropriate for these two strong sword cultivators to stay behind and lead the cultivators to guard the main city.

Ye Qiao: "Okay."

Mingxuan closed his folding fan and said, "Understood."

Qin Fanfan cleared her throat and, unusually generously, told all the disciples present, "We have about half a month to prepare before the Demon Clan attacks and breaches the city again. If we can resolve this once and for all, you will all be given a holiday after we return to the sect."

That's a great pie in the sky.

Ye Qiao perked up, her eyes sparkling. "Is it a deal?"

Qin Fanfan nodded with a smile: "It's a deal."

Row.

She was determined to resolve this matter completely this time, no matter what.

……

The direct descendants who had been dragged over to do hard labor all started working diligently. Ye Qiao found a quiet courtyard, sat down and watched the spiritual energy continuously gathering in her dantian. She stroked her chin. Since returning from the inheritance site, she had been rushing to various families to brainwash them and also had to take on the responsibility of saving those innocent cultivators. She had no time to care about anything else.

Finally having a moment to catch her breath, she peered into the area.

Then he froze.

Within the realm of all things, Xiao Qi had awakened at some point and was being chased and slashed by the Frost Sword.

This scene was quite strange. Frost Sword was a rather aloof little girl, and even if Jun didn't provoke her, Frost Sword wouldn't necessarily get angry.

"Xiao Qi." Ye Qiao quickly grabbed him, reaching out to grasp the Frost Sword. "What are you two doing?"

Xiaoqi made a face at Hanshuang.

Without hesitation, the Frost Sword froze him into an ice block, and the little boy instantly turned into an ice sculpture.

...Well, it's actually quite cool.

After being frozen, Xiaoqi swiftly transformed into black mist and dissipated, landing behind the Frost Sword. In an instant, the domain was distorted for a moment. Before the ghost and the sword could get serious, Ye Qiao stopped them with a single punch.

She had no intention of getting involved in the two children's affairs, but the problem was that if she didn't stop Xiaoxi from taking action, her own domain would repel her for a moment.

This has never happened before. The change likely occurred after Xiaoxi finished devouring the Demon King, which also meant that her strength had changed from before.

Ye Qiao reached out and pushed the two apart, squatted down and looked at the little boy in front of her, frowning: "Xiao Qi, you haven't finished absorbing it yet, have you?" The Ghost King is not so easy to absorb, let alone the power contained within it.

Ye Qiao hadn't expected him to wake up early.

Xiao Qi sounded aggrieved as he spoke, clutching his stomach and saying softly, "Someone was calling me, which woke me up. When I woke up, I saw this white-haired guy!"

Does the white hair refer to the Frost Sword?

Given his nickname "Chong Xiaoxi," it's no wonder that the Frost Sword would attack him.

But now her attention was drawn to something else: "Summoning you?"

She circled Xiaoxi, scrutinizing her with deep eyes. "You swallowed the Ghost King, didn't you? Especially the one that summoned you; it's more accurate to say it summoned the original Ghost King."

"Can you sense who is calling you?"

Xiaoxi pointed in the direction behind her, "I can't feel it, but the general location is there."

The only place in this direction is the direction of the demon's stronghold.

It's the demons again. Ye Qiao's eyes flickered slightly, still somewhat puzzled as to who was calling for Xiao Qi and why they were summoning the Ghost King.
