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

The moment the words were spoken, a pale golden talisman floated to the top of his head, flashing with blinding electricity, and crashed down.

"Being struck by lightning" literally means being struck by lightning from the top of one's head.

The lightning on the talisman struck down, causing a chain reaction upon hitting the water's surface. Accompanied by a roar, the entire Dragon Gorge trembled. Neither of the two domains could harm him; in the end, he was paralyzed by the electric shock from a single talisman.

The power of the lightning shot straight to the top of the head.

The young prince exclaimed in surprise, instinctively retreating quickly. "What is that?!"

It actually discharged electricity in mid-air.

Zhou Xingyun grabbed the KFC chicken to prevent it from being electrocuted.

The power of lightning in the South China Sea more than doubled. The power unleashed by a single talisman electrified all the nearby aquatic creatures. The Nascent Soul stage cultivator reacted to the lightning by convulsing twice on the spot, his body twitching uncontrollably.

Tragically, the aquatic creatures around him began to hiss and smoke; a mere talisman had instantly electrocuted him and the nearby dragons.

"What is that?" The little prince's round eyes widened. "Thunder?"

No, that lightning struck down hard from Ye Qiao's talismans. She still had more than twenty talismans in her hand. With a slight shake, the aquatic creatures trembled all over, and the weakest talisman was instantly electrocuted.

"Lei!! You actually brought Lei into the South China Sea!" the young prince exclaimed. "You didn't tell me!"

Aquatic creatures are truly afraid of lightning, especially underwater, where the situation is particularly severe.

Ye Qiao corrected him, "This is a talisman. I'm not the Thunder God, so I can't bring thunder into the arena."

Ao Li stomped his foot and swung his claw hard, causing the ground to tremble. "But..." It's very dangerous. Whether it's aquatic or dragon races, they all instinctively fear lightning when they encounter it in the South China Sea. There's a rule in the South China Sea that human cultivators are never allowed to enter.

Neither demonic beasts nor dragons are subject to lightning tribulations.

One advantage that the demon race has over the human race is that they do not suffer from lightning tribulations, allowing them to advance faster.

Of course, the human race also has an exceptionally large number of opportunities and chances.

It can only be said that the way of Heaven is absolutely fair, and it has never shown absolute favoritism towards any race.

This is also one of the reasons why cultivators are excluded from entering the South China Sea.

If a cultivator undergoing tribulation were to sneak into the South China Sea with ill intentions, while it wouldn't warrant wiping out their entire clan, the situation would be dire. There was a previous instance where the South China Sea refused entry to human cultivators, and those discovered were immediately killed.

Ye Qiao blinked, and several lightning bolts struck the leader's head again. The electroshock therapy forced the leader to perform a breakdance in front of everyone.

At this moment, the leader felt an urge to kill.

Zhou Xingyun suddenly realized that Ye Qinghan was not the one who suffered the most from Ye Qiao's persecution.

At the very least, Ye Qinghan has never brokendanced.

Seizing the opportunity, Ye Qiao immediately took out a recording stone to capture this earth-shattering moment.

The moment the ground in the South China Sea cracked open, a stone suddenly stabbed Ye Qiao like a sharp spike. The pressure of the Nascent Soul stage tilted, and the little prince glared back fiercely. The suppression of the dragon bloodline made the man's movements pause.

Zhou Xingyun turned around and flicked his wrist. The sword energy, like the wind, carried the water flow and entered the man's body. The sword energy of the Qingfeng Technique was sharp, like a wind blade that fiercely churned into his internal organs.

"Die!" He was furious. His surging spiritual energy condensed in the water. Suddenly, he roared and a dragon shadow shot out, lunging at Ye Qiao and trying to bite off her neck.

The moment the dragon's phantom solidified and opened its mouth, a pale blue sword shadow appeared, forming an ice wall that was then bitten to pieces by the dragon's phantom.

The ice wall shattered, and the Frost Swords quickly scattered and disappeared into the swords. This is where the sword spirits are mischievous; if they can't defeat them, they hide in the swords, and they can come out to save the day when needed.

As long as the main sword remains undamaged, even if the sword spirit is scattered, it will not be harmed.

The white sword spirit appeared, and Fei Xian slightly covered her beautiful eyes, smiling gently, "That stupid dragon is really unbearable to look at."

"Oh dear, you dirty little mudskipper." (But you don't seem to be smiling.)

The Flying Immortal Sword and the Unseen Lord were excellent at dodging. With light and darkness intertwined, their attacks were ineffective. Before they could even land, the two sword spirits, one black and one white, vanished at the perfect moment.

Damn it, those damned sword spirits!!

Ye Qiao nodded. Oh, so the two sword spirits' cheeky behavior was actually inherited from her?

The two sword spirits kept talking back and forth, and he still couldn't catch them. The leader was so angry that he had lost his mind.

Duan Chen didn't engage in verbal sparring with the two sword spirits. The silver sword spirit materialized and silently approached, intending to kill the leader. As a sword spirit focused on speed, it could escape even if it couldn't win.

This is infuriating!

One of them was the Dust-Breaking Sword, known for its speed; the other two were even harder to catch.

The Nascent Soul stage cultivator was actually entangled by three elusive sword spirits! The leader, who had lived for nearly a hundred years, had never seen sword spirits that could run so fast!

This time, we encountered three of them!

No matter how many aquatic creatures there were, they dared not confront Ye Qiao head-on. As soon as she threw down the talisman, a group of aquatic creatures put down their weapons and began to breakdance on the spot.

Who the hell would dare go near them?!

The leader's mind raced. Realizing that these three sword spirits were difficult to deal with, he decided to shift his focus. If he couldn't eliminate the sword spirits, he would first address the source.

The man's figure disappeared, and when he reappeared, he struck her back. Ye Qiao's sword tip condensed, and she suddenly turned around. Her sword energy materialized like a dragon emerging from the water, leaping down and flashing with purple lightning as she struck down again.

Hmm.

The sword energy manifested at the Nascent Soul stage was all lightning-attribute. She unleashed three strikes in quick succession, then casually asked, "Was that fun?"

He was numb from the electric shock.

Lightning, once it comes into contact with water, becomes completely unreasonable; getting close to it will result in an instant electric shock.

"You have the lightning spirit root." He understood, trembling, why Ye Qiao was so confident, and why this person could produce such a strange talisman that could generate electricity.

It was supposed to be a sure thing, but the leader overlooked one thing: there was a cultivator with a lightning spiritual root in the South China Sea.

The Nascent Soul stage wouldn't cause any fatal injuries, it could only restrict his movements. The leader's expression was ferocious. "I want to see how many sword energies you can manifest." The moment his fist struck the two of them, he pressed his advantage and tried to stomp Ye Qiao to death.

Ye Qiao felt quite distressed as the top-grade defensive talismans shattered one after another. Xie Chuxue was such a stingy person; she had finally given her the talismans, only to have them all crushed without any mercy by a Nascent Soul cultivator.

With a flick of her wrist, another burst of sword energy materialized.

Ye Qiao's opponents are generally at the same level, so they are not too difficult to challenge. Those who are three levels higher are very suitable for training.

The girl constantly changed sword techniques with the two swords, one focusing on speed and the other on lightning.

The Jinghong Sword was unusually excited at this moment, becoming more and more courageous in battle. The deep purple electric current was constantly drawing from Ye Qiao's spiritual root, and the power it unleashed was exceptionally terrifying.

It chose Ye Qiao for a reason: she has a lightning spirit root, and by forming a contract with Ye Qiao, it can benefit from her lightning. However, Ye Qiao rarely uses it, so it is clearly the best match for a sword master with a lightning spirit root!

The Shadow Sword collided with the Startling Sword.

No, it's the perfect match!

Each Blade & Soul possesses an inexplicable self-confidence, believing themselves to be the most suitable match for the Sword Master.

But Ye Qiao is versatile; there's no sword she can't adapt to.

Jun muttered to himself, "Let the Jinghong Sword be stored away."

"Get out of my way." He was annoyed, and with an impatient shout, the aquatic creature that tried to approach Ye Qiao to attack was smashed to the ground.

"Truly worthy of being the Demon Lord's sword. Unlike me, I don't even dare to kill anyone." The Flying Immortal Sword's voice was gentle, like the whispers between lovers, but it only made the Unseen Lord more agitated.

He was extremely annoyed by the Flying Immortal Sword in the Sword Cave.

"Is that so?" Bujianjun snorted, arms crossed. "Back then, several top righteous cultivators were named Flying Immortal Swordsmen. Are you telling me you don't dare to kill?"

Feixian Sword glanced at him, and seeing the sword spirit's exasperated appearance, she chuckled, flipped her hand, and a halo of light spread out, the dazzling bright light almost instantly dispelling the darkness of the seabed.

The blinding light shone into the leader's eyes, but the Flying Immortal Sword remained unfazed and continued to increase its power, the bright light making the surroundings as bright as day.

The light can weaken the fighting power of everyone here. If Ye Qiao is strong enough, she could die silently without a trace. The Flying Immortal Sword has always only sought out those with high talent.

The boy, enraged by Fei Xianjian's enigmatic laugh, realized with a frustrated rage that he was no match for her.

After the Flying Immortal Sword took human form, it didn't actually fight him much. That woman just used that gentle tone and sarcastic words to drive Bujianjun crazy.

Undoubtedly, lightning is the domain of the Jinghong Sword.

Ye Qiao unleashed dozens of sword techniques in succession.

"Beautiful!" The little prince almost jumped up.

Each flash of lightning brought an electric shock, and after more than a dozen shocks, even the strongest leader dared not move. His eyes swirled with intense killing intent, and he roared once more.

"Lightning-type spirit sword." He twitched from the electric shock, and in his anger, he fiercely attacked with Nascent Soul stage spiritual energy, striking Ye Qiao.

"Why do you have so many swords?" He was almost driven mad by these sword spirits.

The angry roar of the Nascent Soul cultivator made the waters of the South China Sea tremble.

Ye Qiao narrowed his eyes and suddenly had an inspiration. The fifth move of the Qingfeng Technique gathered the sword wind itself, and the water waves were swept up by the gale, reversing the flow of water again. If the speed is fast enough, water is the sharpest weapon.

Countless waves crashed down like a tsunami, instantly forming a wide-ranging attack that scattered the aquatic creatures that surrounded them.

The aquatic army was riddled with holes, with three sword spirits, a bird, and a dragon.

The two sword cultivators had driven him to this point.

The light attribute is the most annoying; anyone exposed to light within the entire Dragon Gorge area experiences a significant reduction in strength.

During the fight, all the top-grade defensive talismans were completely used up.

Ye Qiao took a direct hit from the leader, wiped away the blood, and her spiritual energy dissipated rapidly at that moment. She frowned.

A single strike from a Nascent Soul cultivator can take half a person's life.

The top-grade talisman given to me by my junior uncle is also gone.

The current situation is that neither side can do anything about the other. No matter how strong he is, he is helpless against a group of sword spirits. Ye Qiao is even more troublesome, and she will shock him at the slightest provocation!

The leader, expressionless, coldly raised his hand, and a small palace appeared in his palm, materializing into form. "You're the ones who insisted on coming here to die."

He didn't take the Nascent Soul stage cultivators seriously, but the current situation had already exceeded his control, so he had no choice but to use his spiritual weapon to kill them all.

"A water-based magical artifact!" the young prince exclaimed in surprise.

"What type?" Ye Qiao was really having a headache with spiritual artifacts. Each one had a strange and varied function, and they could all transform into spirits, making them incredibly difficult to deal with.

If Duan Hengdao and his group can forge spiritual weapons, Chengfeng Sect will probably have to offer them up as tribute.

Ao Li quickly explained, "Do you really know why there are barriers around us? Why is it considered a dangerous place? It's because this place is his territory, literally. He has a water-based magical artifact."

If someone in the Nascent Soul stage also possesses a magical artifact, who else but him can rule the land?

The young prince was also annoyed by these aquatic creatures, but since even his father couldn't handle it, it was none of his business as a little dragon cub. He always avoided these dangerous places outside the Dragon Palace.

Who knew being with Ye Qiao would be so exciting?

This is what Father Emperor meant by following the trials of the chosen one.

Ao Li stomped his foot uneasily, his huge dragon claw cracking the ground. The little fat dragon was a bit listless; he didn't need it at all.

The artifact materialized in the leader's palm, resembling a small palace. Upon closer inspection, it could be seen that the artifact was a miniature version of the Dragon Gorge.

The man wore a twisted, maniacal laugh as he flicked his magical artifact with his fingertips, causing the ground beneath his feet to tremble violently.

Ye Qiao understood, "He can control this place."

With such a magical artifact that can control a small area, even if they manipulate the terrain or other things, they can still subdue them.

The young prince pouted, "Unless we leave Dragon Gorge, but it's obviously too late, he won't let us go."

He couldn't leave, he simply couldn't leave. He was almost in tears, "If I die... remember to tell my father."

"I...I want a wife, sob sob sob." He hasn't gotten married yet.

KFC was speechless: "..."

"You're dead, so why do you still think we're alive?" Ye Qiao didn't expect this little fat dragon to cry so suddenly. It was one thing for him to cry, but the ground shook even more violently as he cried.

"I've been wandering around for so long, I didn't come here specifically to die." Ye Qiao poured the pill into her mouth; she hadn't even used up all her spirit stones yet.

"And this thing," Ye Qiao said, feeling nauseous from the shaking, she shook her head, "it also has a strange sense of familiarity."

The Ghost Realm had done the same thing to her before, using its control over the realm to constantly mobilize everything around it to attack her.

It wasn't quite that drastic; the entire Dragon Gorge ground flipped up at that moment.

The boulder stood upside down and was manipulated to smash down on them. Because the ground was shaking, they almost couldn't dodge it. It was only because Jun shattered the boulder with one blow that they were spared the fate of being crushed to death by the boulder.

Ye Qiao's face turned pale. She hated this dizzying feeling; she felt lightheaded.

At this point, they can't even stand still, so what are they going to fight with?

KFC glanced at Ye Qiao. It could try to snatch that magical artifact. This level of spinning was commonplace for birds. It said in a clear voice, "I'll go snatch it."

The little phoenix flapped its wet wings and used the heat of its own flames to dry them, which would help it fly in the water.

"A..." The leader looked directly at them, his face grim, his brow twitching. "A talking bird?"

And it's also very weak.

The dragon, with its thick hide, felt little of the ticklish attacks; the red bird's attacks were like mere tickles to it.

The bird suddenly turned its head and, without warning, spat out a ball of flame, igniting a raging fire all around.

There has never been a fire in the South China Sea.

Many aquatic creatures don't even know what fire looks like. Thunder might have seen the scene of lightning descending from the sky, but fire never appears in the South China Sea.

He got it.

That's not a bird at all.

That was a...

"Phoenix!" His voice turned shrill again.

The flames suddenly blazed brightly in the South China Sea and could not be extinguished no matter what.

His face contorted as flames engulfed him. The moment the flames ignited, the magical artifact slipped from his grasp. To be precise, the artifact itself couldn't withstand the temperature and flew away, abandoning its master.

For spirit artifacts, self-preservation is always the best option.

This sudden attack drove the leader into a frenzy. With a clench of his fist, he seized the little phoenix, who had not yet grown up and was only at the Nascent Soul stage, without giving it any chance to resist.
