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

In formations, the movement of one part affects the whole.

As soon as he finished speaking, the array on the ground beneath his feet shattered in a series of explosions, and the demon race was instantly torn to pieces. Although Mingxuan, who was in the very center, had made preparations in advance and tried his best to avoid the vital points, he was still badly injured by the explosions. The boy wiped the blood that kept seeping from his body and complained, "I should have worn the sect robes."

At least the red color mixed with blood wouldn't be so noticeable.

The entire room fell silent for a moment. Mu Zhongxi clicked his tongue, quickly protecting the only talisman cultivator present, and precisely uttered three words to Ming Xuan, "You're sick."

Mingxuan: "You're the one who's sick. I call this 'fortune favors the bold.'"

"Using oneself as a bait," Yunhen said coldly. "Who told him about this tactic of inflicting a thousand casualties on the enemy while losing eight hundred of your own?"

"This fighting style," Duan Yu said matter-of-factly, "is obviously something he learned from Xie Chuxue."

No matter who goes astray, it must be Xie Chuxue's fault. Mingxuan has been with Xie Chuxue the longest, and he is the one who teaches her on a daily basis. Who else could it be but Xie Chuxue?

This time, Xie Chuxue touched her chin and, unusually, did not refute.

He really liked this aggressive style of play. He was in a lot of pain after getting injured, but the thought that his opponent would only be in more pain than him made him inexplicably happy.

Elder Zhao simply commented, "Stay away from Xiao Qiao, you pervert."

Xie Chuxue blinked innocently.

Ye Qiao wasn't taught by him. When she was steady, she was as steady as an old dog, like a slippery eel. But when she was provoked, she didn't seem to be much better than Ming Xuan.

Having been outmaneuvered time and again, and left covered in dust and grime, the unlucky demon leader, unable to dodge and dying on the spot, ordered with a grim expression, "Stop capturing him! Where's Xue Yu?"

His companion shook his head slightly. "He has a spiritual artifact and a domain, and he's a pill cultivator, so there's no need to fight him."

"Dragon Clan, we have no intention of being your enemies. We'll leave as long as you hand over the Dragon Pearl." The woman raised her chin, silk threads swirling in her hand, her eyes icy cold. "And the direct disciple of the Changming Sect, that's none of your business, is it? Although we have some minor grudges, we'll consider letting you go this time as long as you don't interfere."

The whereabouts of the Dragon Balls remain a mystery, but it's obvious they're in the hands of the aquatic creatures. Slaughtering the aquatic creatures will surely lead to their discovery.

Fighting against a direct disciple is too time-consuming. There will be plenty of time later. The first four attempts have already been successful; only the Changming Sect remains to be defeated.

The Demon Lord absolutely will not allow them to make any more mistakes.

Mingxuan: "Hey, you're considering letting us go? You've got some nerve."

The demons' arrogant words failed to elicit any agreement. Enraged, the young prince transformed into human form and slammed his fist into the demon horde, reigniting the battle and turning the initial skirmish into a chaotic melee.

Xue Yu never actively participates in battles, but his domain is useful, and very useful.

Zhou Xingyun opened his domain next, and Xue Yu followed closely behind. Silver light and dark light separated, and two domains opened at the same time, pulling away several powerful people first to relieve some pressure on his junior brothers and senior brothers.

One of the little dragons, seeing this scene for the first time, exclaimed, "It looks amazing!"

"I heard that you can count them on two hands in the entire cultivation world. Changming Sect has produced three at once." Ao Li blinked in disbelief. He had met Zhou Xingyun and Ye Qiao, but he didn't expect there to be Xue Yu as well.

"There's still one?" He was slightly surprised.

"Yes, Ye Qiao has one too."

"..."

The young dragon who had been speaking fell silent. What to do when questioned? Should he create a new domain to prove himself?

Is this how geniuses prove themselves?

Mingxuan was enjoying the show when suddenly a golden dragon swam up to him. He looked down at the dragon, and it wagged its tail, gesturing for him to get on.

Mingxuan understood; this was an invitation for them to ride dragons.

He scoffed, "I don't want to."

Each time, he and Xue Yu would be randomly pulled into the sky by a sword cultivator from the sect. As a qualified talisman cultivator, he preferred to find a place where he wouldn't attract attention to ambush people rather than ride a dragon to fight them.

Mingxuan disliked dragons, but the dragon in front of him was at the Nascent Soul stage, and having a dragon to protect him would make things much easier.

He was the first to ride a dragon. Once he got the first one, the remaining dragons stopped being reserved and swam up to the group, gesturing for them to get on.

"Little Prince." Mu Chongxi: "Then shall I ride you?" Compared to the dragons who had ignored them the whole time, Ao Li was quite good-tempered.

The little prince flicked his tail excitedly, "Sure. No problem." He had no backbone; the dragon race worshipped the strong, and if someone was strong enough, they could completely ignore the issue of face.

The prerequisite is that you can gain their approval.

The Dragon Clan has slapped themselves in the face far too quickly this time.

"Who said dragons are never ridden easily? Didn't all of them ride them?" Chu Xingzhi kept cursing, pressing his face against the photo stone with envy. He also wanted to ride a dragon, so he could brag about it for the rest of his life.

Those are creatures that only exist in legends.

"Then if you're so capable, why don't you make the dragons willingly be ridden?" Zhu You said irritably, pushing away his resentful face. "Don't get in our way, you're blocking our way."

The dragon race favors the strong, and cultivators are generally too weak, leading to severe discrimination against them. However, gaining the dragon race's approval is not easy. The Changming Sect has been ridiculed repeatedly these past few days, which is more than just enduring hardship and biding its time. Its ability to endure is something that other sects cannot match.

This time, I can finally hold my head high and vent my anger.

"What type of domain does Xue Yu have?" The information conveyed by the jade slip made several people without a domain extremely envious.

"Who knows? We've never been inside, so we can't see what the domain looks like. I guess it might be similar to the Landscape Painting. An illusion-type domain." Zhu You nodded, after all, the Path of Passion is more suited to unpredictable and ever-changing domains.

"The disciples of Changming Sect are quite generous; they gave away a spiritual artifact without hesitation. The other four haven't objected yet." One disciple said sourly.

"Xue Yu Danxiu needs something to protect himself. Not many people can be sober from the Mountain and River Map. It's normal for him to be given the Dao of Amorousness." Si Miaoyan found it amusing.

One can guess the path each person cultivates by observing their personality. Xue Yu and Zhu You are passionate, while Si Miaoyan and Song Hansheng are thoughtful.

Those who cultivate this path prefer to weigh the pros and cons before making a choice, and their minds are generally unpredictable and changeable.

Chu Xingzhi drawled, "Hmph, it's hard for cultivators from other paths to find Daoist partners, only we cultivators from the Heart-Seeking Path have it all."

Although he couldn't beat anyone present, that didn't stop him from pointing fingers at everyone.

"You're right," Duan Hengdao rarely agreed. "However, when looking for a Daoist partner, one should look for the Dao of Common People, for the gentleness of the Dao of Common People."

"Hiss—" Behind him came the sounds of others grimacing and gasping for breath.

"Hoo hoo hoo. The gentleness of the Path of All Living Beings? I don't know which cultivators the Path of All Living Beings has produced throughout history, but there is one among the Five Sects."

"If you find a Daoist partner like Ye Qiao, and the two of you have any conflict, Ye Qiao will definitely beat you to death with two punches." Shen Ziwei grimaced, already foreseeing the other person's miserable life in the future.

They were so engrossed in their conversation that they didn't notice Ye Qiao, who was refining weapons, pause. Quickly, she severed the black iron in her hand with one hand, accompanied by a crisp breaking sound. Ye Qiao smiled and asked, "Everyone, what's the next step?"
