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

The Great Secret Realm appeared suddenly, and no one had made any plans for it before. No one knew what dangers it held. After following Ye Qiao halfway there, Duan Hengdao began to regret his impulsive actions.

Why did he impulsively agree to go treasure hunting with Ye Qiao?

Putting aside whether they can find any opportunities, their team, with two Golden Core cultivators and one Foundation Establishment cultivator, would only be able to get wrecked if they encountered a powerful demon beast.

It's no use regretting it now; they can only grit their teeth and keep going. The environment in the secret realm was relatively normal on the first day, but it became increasingly strange as they went on. As darkness fell, the group decided to rest for the night and continue their mission the next day.

Ye Qiao took some time to study the Moon Cleansing Sect's mental cultivation method and talisman book. Talismans are all variations on the same theme. The array talisman itself is not very difficult to draw. The key to success lies in the accurate control of the position and the level of proficiency.

Besides array formation talismans, there are also array-breaking talismans, all sorts of things. No wonder there are so few talisman cultivators. Just learning all these things would almost exhaust their spiritual sense.

Ye Qiao imitated the array runes of the Yueqing Sect with her fingertips, which didn't seem to be too difficult.

She simply focused her energy on the spot, flipped through the talisman book, and began to imitate the array talismans of the Yueqing Sect.

With the wolf-hair brush given to her by her fourth senior brother, the probability of failure was greatly reduced by several percent. Duan Hengdao and Mu Chongxi next to her were fast asleep. Fearing danger, she could only draw talismans while keeping an eye on the surrounding movements.

Before they knew it, they were drawing more and more talismans.

Ye Qiao wiped the cold sweat from her palms, which had formed from gripping the pen too tightly.

"Wake up," she warned, "someone's coming."

Duan Hengdao groggily opened his eyes: "Who?"

Ye Qiao: "I don't know." She noticed it when she was drawing the talisman, but because they were far away, she didn't wake them up.

"You knew someone was coming from this far away?" Duan Hengdao scratched his head, finding it strange.

Logically speaking, the strongest spiritual sense should belong to those who cultivate talismans, alchemy, and artifacts.

Because they are all craftsmen who need to use their divine sense to refine weapons, fuse pills, and draw talismans, their sea of ​​consciousness is very broad and they are more sensitive to danger.

The width of one's sea of ​​consciousness is also related to one's cultivation level. He was already at the Golden Core stage, while Ye Qiao was only at the Foundation Establishment stage. How could Ye Qiao's sea of ​​consciousness be wider than his own?

Before he could figure it out, Ye Qiao waved a small stack of talismans in her hand and grinned.

"Brothers," she said, "we've got work to do."

"???"

Mu Chongxi shivered as he looked at her enigmatic smile.

Need work? What kind of work?

Ye Qiao had just finished drawing the talisman and was still short of people to test it, but someone came along so quickly. This time, she finally didn't have to bother her own people anymore.

"Would you like to play the talisman game?"

She waved the talisman in her hand casually, "I have many more here. Whoever wants to use them can use them."

"..." Duan Hengdao had never seen anyone so extravagant as to use so many talismans to stick on people. Normally, a talisman cultivator could only draw five or six talismans a day at most, and any more would overdraw their consciousness.

The Changming Sect only had one talisman cultivator, so he naturally assumed that the talisman was drawn by Mingxuan.

"Your senior brother really dotes on you," Duan Hengdao couldn't help but remark.

Ye Qiao: "?" Why does she seem to have trouble understanding human speech?

"Do you want some?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" The two quickly grabbed them. Who wouldn't want talismans? Talismans are precious, usually kept by talisman cultivators. This was the first time they had ever touched a talisman.

Duan Hengdao looked at the talismans from left to right, extremely amazed: "Wow, so many talismans! Mingxuan must have spent a long time drawing them, right?"

"So, what are the effects of these talismans?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Qiao knew that Duan Hengdao must have misunderstood something, but she didn't explain. Let him misunderstand; they were still rivals during the competition. Revealing her ability to draw talismans so early would only add unnecessary trouble.

"They are mostly array formation talismans, and a few are offensive talismans."

"Use it freely. I have plenty more."

Ye Qiao was incredibly arrogant, which made Duan Hengdao so jealous he wanted to eat lemons. He also wanted a senior brother who could draw talismans, so that when he went out and couldn't beat someone, he could throw talismans and smash them to death.

The three were huddled together examining the talisman in their hands when they heard the voice of a strange man behind them.

"Which sect do you belong to?"

Ye Qiao turned her head and was greeted by the refreshing green robes of the group of people.

A sect with such lush greenery.

She took two steps back, gripped the talisman tightly, and instead of answering, subtly probed, "May I ask which sect you belong to, fellow Daoist?"

The other party was extremely arrogant, saying, "Xuanyun Sect."

Ye Qiao had never heard of it before.

Duan Hengdao was slightly surprised. He leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Ah. I know. It's a pretty big sect. Although it can't compare to our Five Sects, it's quite well-known in the cultivation world."

"Their sect proves its path through killing. They claim to be a righteous sect, but I think they'll definitely have something to talk about with demonic cultivators in the future."

Low emotional intelligence: His behavior is no different from that of a demonic cultivator.

High emotional intelligence: You'll definitely have something to talk about with demonic cultivators.

Ye Qiao indicated that she understood.

"What are you dawdling for? Hand over the treasures you have." The leader raised his chin maliciously. "Otherwise, don't blame me for killing a few people to feed my sword."

Duan Hengdao frowned, showing particular disgust for the sect's practices.

He was about to announce the name of his sect when Ye Qiao stopped him.

joke.

How could you reveal your own sect's name at a time like this? To incite hatred, you should definitely target the sect of your enemy.

Ye Qiao ignored him and flew the talisman in her hand towards his face.

The explosive tag ignited quickly, and with a "bang," it blew the man's hair up.

Before he could react, she threw a few more, and Mu Chongxi started to imitate her, throwing them at people's faces.

Strike while the iron is hot; even if you can't kill him outright, you can still wear him down.

The continuous barrage of talismans was too much for the man, even though he had reached the Golden Core stage, and he coughed up a mouthful of blood.

"Senior brother." A disciple in the same green sect robe quickly helped the man up, a hint of ruthlessness flashing in his eyes: "They're from the Moon Purity Sect, aren't they?"

The girl was dressed in casual clothes, so it was impossible to tell which sect she belonged to, but the fact that she could produce so many talismans meant she was definitely not a rogue cultivator.

"I'm afraid it's not from a minor sect."

Mu Chongxi didn't use a sword, but instead flicked talismans together, which gave them the illusion that all three of them were talisman cultivators.

"So many talisman masters, could they be from the Moon Cleansing Sect?"

Most of the major sects' talisman cultivators are in the Yueqing Sect.

The Changming Sect does have a talisman cultivator, but every generation of direct disciples in the Changming Sect is known for being a nice guy, upright yet foolish.

They couldn't possibly be from the Changming Sect.

The Moon Purity Sect is notorious for its shamelessness in pursuit of resources, and that disciple instantly felt he had seen the truth.

It must be those shameless disciples of the Yueqing Sect!

Seeing how happily the two were throwing talismans, Duan Hengdao was eager to try it himself and immediately joined the ranks. The talisman in his hand was a binding talisman, which was enhanced by the Golden Core cultivation. At the same cultivation level, the man was injured and had no chance to dodge it.

It shot away at high speed, golden runes flashing by, forming an array that imprisoned the person in place.

The man's face twisted in a grotesque expression, and he let out a cold laugh: "A direct disciple of the Moon Purity Sect, is that it?"

"Okay, I'll remember you."

The binding talisman that Duan Hengdao threw out was quite effective. Song Hansheng had used this formation to imprison the rogue cultivators in one area before. Now, none of them could get out for the time being. Ye Qiao calculated the time and estimated that they could hold out for about five more minutes before they were out.

Afraid they would come out and beat her up, Ye Qiao turned around and shouted, "What are you standing there for? Keep smashing!"

She had drawn a bunch of strange talismans but had nowhere to experiment with them, so this was a perfect experimental subject delivered to her doorstep.

Duan Hengdao gradually discovered the fun in it; it contained all sorts of talismans, such as the Haha Talisman, the Crawling Talisman, the Sleeping Talisman, and the Stink Talisman—the more sinister the better.

He couldn't help but shiver.

How terrifying is the Changming Sect!

Why is Mingxuan not focusing on being a proper talisman cultivator, but instead going down the crooked and evil path?

If they encounter the Changming Sect in the Grand Competition, just being tormented by these talismans will be enough to give them a hard time.

Ye Qiao used talismans to buy some time, and soon the Yueqing Sect arrived. The three groups of people met unexpectedly.

Song Hansheng noticed Ye Qiao at first glance. With both old and new grudges combined, he immediately prepared to settle scores with her, uttering two words in a sinister tone: "Ye Qiao".

Ye Qiao's eyes suddenly lit up, and she waved enthusiastically at him, shouting, "Senior Brother Song!"

"Come quickly and save us!"

She pointed at the people from Xuan Yun Sect, looking like a dog relying on its master's power, "Those few nobody sects actually dared to provoke our Yue Qing Sect, they're simply courting death."

"?" Song Hansheng: "What?"

What does "we" Yueqing Sect mean?

Who are you and us?

He was stunned for a second, and the Xuan Yun Sect disciple who was being mocked immediately flew into a rage, picked up his sword and slashed at Song Hansheng.

Fu Xiu was not good at close combat, so Song Hansheng quickly retreated to a safe distance. He wasn't stupid and immediately understood that Ye Qiao was trying to shift the blame. "Don't listen to their nonsense. They are clearly disciples of the Changming Sect and the Chengfeng Sect."

Song Hansheng gritted his teeth, "I don't know her at all."

The man from Xuan Yun Sect clearly didn't believe it: "Not familiar? Who are you trying to fool? Didn't you just call her by her name right away?"

"Senior brother, don't listen to his nonsense, let's go and teach them a lesson." A disciple impatiently drew his sword.

Sword cultivators generally have fiery tempers and are easily swayed by emotions.

Adding fuel to the fire, Ye Qiao chimed in, "Yes, Senior Brother Song, how could you do this? We are inner disciples of the Yueqing Sect! You've hurt us so much."

"Shut up!" Song Hansheng was furious. "Are you all blind? Can't you see that there are two sword cultivators and one weapon cultivator? Our Yueqing Sect doesn't have any weapon cultivators, and we only have one direct disciple who is a sword cultivator!"

Ye Qiao's voice suddenly rose, drowning out his words, "What? You dare to call them blind? Senior Brother, even if you are the chief disciple of the Yueqing Sect, you can't speak like that!"

Xuan Yunzong was even more furious upon hearing this. He hated the people from the Five Sects the most, each of them thinking they were extraordinary.

"Don't let them get away. I want to see what makes this bunch of talisman cultivators so arrogant." He grinned maliciously, picked up his sword, and joined the battle.

Song Hansheng cursed under his breath as an idiot, and immediately stopped wasting his breath on these brainless creatures. He gripped the talisman in his hand, and in an instant, the scene erupted.

Ye Qiao was having a great time taking advantage of the situation.

She didn't attack anyone, but just moved around, occasionally kicking one or the other. The two factions that were ambushed thought that each other was behind it, and the fight became more and more intense, and they seemed to be getting desperate.

After stirring the water even more, Ye Qiao waved to the two of them, and then, having accomplished her task, she left without a trace, concealing her profound merit and fame, and quickly made her escape.

Duan Hengdao did nothing but follow along obediently, watching Ye Qiao get the two sides into a fight with a few simple moves.

"..."

He said: I learned something.
