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

As they spoke, the seventh lightning tribulation finished its preparation, directly shattering all the demons within the four-directional formation. To be precise, this included even the direct disciples. Duan Hengdao cursed under his breath, and the three weapon cultivators practically threw out all their most treasured defensive magical artifacts to save their lives.

As expected, all beings are equal. Even though Ye Qiao did not move closer to them, it did not stop the rampaging lightning tribulation from striking everywhere.

The lightning bolts struck Ye Qiao swiftly and accurately, and she took advantage of the moment to pounce on Yun Que. Come on, let's hurt each other! If she's in pain, Yun Que won't have it easy either.

This attack would at least knock him back to the early stage of the Golden Core realm.

Those who fail to pass the tribulation will not only experience a drop in their cultivation level, but some may even have their souls scattered. Yun Que was going crazy, and her swordsmanship slashed down haphazardly. "Ye Qiao! Get out of here!" This wasn't her tribulation, so why was she being struck?

Ye Qiao took a moment to switch to the Jinghong Sword, and with a swift movement, firmly pinned her down. Her eyebrows furrowed in surprise, "Why are you in such a hurry?"

The Jinghong Sword is the only spirit sword among all spirit swords with the lightning attribute. Using it to undergo tribulation will at least prevent you from being struck by heavenly lightning and screaming in agony.

Yun Que was suppressed and unable to move within three moves, screaming as she took the blows along with Ye Qiao.

Other disciples were all trained step by step, but she didn't experience any tribulations. Suddenly, she was struck by a tribulation of lightning from the Nascent Soul stage. It felt as if Yun Que's bones had been crushed by this bolt of heavenly lightning. She lay paralyzed on the ground, unable to move, and had no ability to resist.

The promised helper turned out to be Ye Qiao's brat, and their young master was even dragged away by that brat to who-knows-where.

The demons were completely demoralized. Forget about saving her; they all wanted to tear Yun Que apart alive.

Ye Qiao tied Yun Que tightly with a rope, seemingly determined to take the blows with her.

Dozens of lightning bolts struck, causing tens of thousands of demons and monsters to fall to the ground, some even reduced to ashes. The Demon Lord in the space noticed the commotion below. The demons and monsters had joined forces and were already confident of success in this operation.

"Use your clone to go down and kill Ye Qiao." The Demon Lord's voice was cold and enigmatic. "Killing her will solve all the problems."

This is a profound and philosophical truth that he gleaned after interacting with his protégé, Ye Qiao.

Kill her, and then everything will be fine.

As the demon king watched the demons below disappear at an alarming speed, he hardened his heart, severed a sliver of his divine consciousness, and used a clone to go down and resolve this trouble.

"It's a clone, a clone," Xie Chuxue muttered to herself. "I really didn't expect that."

These children actually managed to push the Demon Emperor to this point.

Creating a clone is equivalent to taking away one-tenth of one's strength.

Originally, the outcome was still uncertain, and everyone wanted to kill the other quickly so they could support their subordinates. Who would have thought that the Demon Emperor would cut off a small part of himself to help? If the clone dies, it will have a great impact on the main body.

Qin Fanfan watched as the Demon Emperor's avatar descended, her sword gripping coldly. "Are they alright?"

Xie Chuxue's answer was vague: "It's hard to say."

No matter what, he is still an avatar of the Demon Emperor.

The two sect leaders of Wenjian Sect and Chengfeng Sect could only stop him, not kill him, which shows how troublesome he was.

The cultivators who hadn't left the main city were still whispering among themselves. A powerful cultivator sensed something, suddenly looked up at the sky, and said worriedly, "Let's retreat first."

Something is approaching.

He didn't know what was coming, but it gave off a very ominous feeling.

Ye Qiao didn't move, still holding the half-dead Yun Que in her hand. Seeing this, she tossed it to Ye Qinghan, indicating that he should take good care of it: "Your Yun Que."

Ye Qinghan: "..."

Hearing someone approach, Xue Yu threw out the Mountain and River Map from his mustard seed bag. As a magical artifact on the list of spiritual artifacts, the Mountain and River Map was not very powerful, but it was a good tool for intercepting opponents. Its coverage area was extremely wide, making it perfect for scouting the enemy in advance.

The moment the landscape painting unfolds, the appearance of the intercepted target can be seen in the image.

As the owner of the magical artifact, Xue Yu carefully observed the scene in the Landscape Painting for a few seconds before silently closing it.

When others asked him how he was doing, Xue Yu hesitated to speak.

Chu Xingzhi was an impatient person, and asked with slight impatience, "What's wrong? Is he very strong?"

So powerful that even Xue Yu wore such a solemn expression?

"It is indeed very strong, and it has already taken on a human form, making it a demon emperor level being. Moreover, its appearance..." Xue Yu's brows twitched slightly, and after a long pause, he uttered two words in a deep voice, "Very ugly."

He generally doesn't belittle people's appearance unless he can't help it.

It might be because everyone in the show is good-looking, so even if they were fighting face-to-face, they wouldn't feel too much malice, since their opponents are all pleasing to the eye.

Upon suddenly seeing such an ugly demon emperor, Xue Yu couldn't bear it, even though he was incredibly powerful.

"Third Senior Brother, how can you discriminate against people based on their appearance?" Ye Qiao, still aching all over from being struck, stood up defiantly upon hearing this and righteously rebuked him: "Our Changming Sect absolutely does not discriminate based on appearance."

With so many cultivators watching in Bibo City, and considering the future recruitment situation of their Changming Sect, they couldn't be so blunt, no matter how ugly they were.

Xue Yu raised his chin in a gesture of approval, "Then you go and meet him."

Seeing this, Ye Qiao did not hesitate. She took the Mountain and River Map and probed it with her divine sense. At this time, the Demon Emperor descended, which should be just a Dao clone like the Demon Lord did last time.

It's obvious without even thinking that it's aimed at her.

Ye Qiao probed the landscape map with her divine sense and, after seeing the other party's appearance, remained silent for a long time.

"How is it?" Xue Yu asked.

Ye Qiao, as if fully awakened, hurriedly closed the landscape painting, shouting, "Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap! It's so ugly! It's so ugly! Close it quickly! Close it quickly!!"

Xue Yu: "..."
