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

Awesome.

Ye Qiao almost clapped at this moment. How could a cultivator from the Free and Unfettered Path become the young master?

She remembered this scene, but according to the original plot of the novel, the Demon Clan did indeed change its young master at this time. However, the young master of that time was her second senior brother, Ming Xuan, and now it was the young man in front of her.

Both of them were cultivators of the Free and Unfettered Path. She looked at the young man, felt sorry for him for a few seconds, and said, "If you don't become him, you'll become my second senior brother."

As expected, the plot is already in its mid-to-late stages.

Ye Qiao then proceeded to summarize the entire plot of the novel. First of all, it was a Mary Sue novel with a charming female lead. There was no special behind-the-scenes villain. The final cause was simply the conflict instigated by the female lead. The turmoil in the cultivation world was entirely caused by one person.

In the end, all the turmoil was brought to an end by Ye Qinghan himself.

Ye Qinghan overcame numerous obstacles and rivals before finally winning the heart of his beloved.

Clearly, the aura of being a chosen one and possessing innate sword-like talent has fallen upon one person. If something truly major were to happen in the cultivation world, then Ye Qinghan would undoubtedly be the one everyone expects to succeed.

Ye Qiao steered the conversation back to the situation with the Demon Clan, "What is the Demon Clan's next target? Do you know?"

She remembered that the demon and monster races had gone mad and tried to annihilate the dragon race by massacring them, showing no fear whatsoever of the Heavenly Tribulation's reckoning in the future.

"Let's steal the spirit artifacts. You know what spirit artifacts are, right? Some powerful spirit artifacts are enough to change the course of a battle."

Ye Qiao: "What are the demons trying to do by constantly searching for magical artifacts?"

The young man was captivated by the little girl before him and made no attempt to cover for his Demon Lord status. He smiled and looked at Ye Qiao, scrutinizing the girl before him, and said, "Of course you want to ascend. But you should know that the Heavenly Dao does not allow demons to ascend."

"That's right, and all the previous Demon Lords failed." Bujianjun transformed and slowly floated above Ye Qiao's head, excitedly telling his sword master this little-known secret: "So this Demon Lord may have learned from the failures of the previous Demon Lords that they cannot sit idly by and wait for death, but must occupy the cultivation world and complete their ascension."

He didn't understand without seeing the master, and he had no intention of respecting the sword master's lofty ambitions, so he ran away without stopping.

Perhaps after experiencing the betrayal of the sword spirit, the Demon Lord finally realized that these people were unreliable, so he would occasionally choose to personally confront some troublesome disciples.

Ye Qiao: "Has he really not reflected on his own character issues?"

Sword spirits are usually adaptable and will follow whichever sword master they choose. How bad must a person's character be to make their spirit sword defect?

"You have two sword spirits?" Meng Liu stared intently at the black sword spirit that had suddenly appeared, raising his voice as he looked at the boy with great interest. He was only interested in lolis.

but--

"How did you know such a secret?" This kind of secret is probably only known to the confidants of the Demon Lords throughout history.

He was secretly on guard; the demon race still held great respect for the previous generations of demon lords, but this guy…

It should be Blade & Soul.

Where did this sword spirit come from?

The aura is familiar, somewhat like the aura of the Demon Lord?

Speaking of which, this Demon Lord did not have a sword when he ascended to the throne. This matter has been discussed within the Demon Clan. You should know that the Demon Lord's sword is passed down from generation to generation. If it were really the Demon Lord's natal sword, some Demons might choose to betray him on the spot.

He is somewhat loyal to this Demon Lord, but not very so.

If he could find the sword spirit, he would naturally betray it on the spot. For the demon race, which has a clear hierarchy, their stance can always be changed at will.

Jun looked at him smugly, "I know everything about the internal affairs of the Demon Clan." He was the sword of several generations of Demon Lords. Basically, he had met some of the higher-ups in the Demon Clan.

Ye Qiao automatically added a smug cat emoji to his profile picture.

Ah, so cute. Absolutely adorable.

Meng Liu stared blankly at the suddenly appearing sword spirit: "..."

What kind of personality is that? He really needs to suck up to a little girl to soothe his wounded heart.

"Ye Qiao, why don't you give them to me?" He casually grabbed one of the little girls, his face full of lust, and blinked, trying to get Ye Qiao to look at him.

KFC was still determined to burn him to death, but the flames rose up to the young man in front of them and were completely isolated.

Ye Qiao: "Get lost."

KFC would love to burn that pervert to death.

Meng Liu clearly saw it too.

He clutched his chest and remained silent for a moment. In an attempt to please the little girl in front of him, he quickly spilled out the information he knew. "You should know, right? Many spiritual artifacts in the cultivation world are crafted by powerful beings and only develop their own spirit after being left for thousands of years under certain circumstances. But there are a few spiritual artifacts that are created by the Heavenly Dao to balance certain aspects of the cultivation world, such as the Dragon Pearl in the South China Sea this time. A single pearl can quell the storm."

"Such a creation must be connected to the Great Dao in some way, so they wanted to see if they could use it to open the Heavenly Gate and ascend directly."

"Do you know Yun Que, the direct disciple of the Five Sects? She's the Daughter of Destiny, and she plays a huge role. Basically, all spiritual artifacts instinctively draw near to her." He smirked. "Our demon race has obtained quite a few good things thanks to this female cultivator."

"It's no wonder she's the chosen one. No wonder they agreed to let a righteous sheep come to us." The young man's tone was stiff and expressionless, and he didn't seem to have much ill will towards the righteous path.

With Xie Chuxue's hints, Ye Qiao guessed some of the truth: the Demon Lord and some powerful beings who were close to ascension were causing trouble and wanted to use spiritual artifacts to ascend.

Their desire to ascend is indeed none of anyone else's business, but the problem is that after the Heavenly Dao has restarted so many times, the cultivation world really can't withstand this kind of destruction.

If we don't stop their insane behavior, we'll all be doomed.

Ye Qiao lowered her eyes, not thinking about what would happen next. Right now, her most important task was to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.

"Do you want to leave here?" Ye Qiao asked.

Meng Liu shrugged. "I hate fighting and killing."

He is a member of the Free and Unfettered Path. Although most members of the Free and Unfettered Path are neither entirely righteous nor entirely evil, they are mostly unrestrained and love freedom. The Path of Slaughter is suitable for becoming a demon, or the Path of Ruthlessness, where one doesn't even feel much guilt when killing. The Free and Unfettered Path is truly unable to bear the torment of conscience.

He only has a thing for lolis; he has absolutely no interest in matters of life and death.

Ye Qiao stared at him for a few seconds, confirming that he really was a peace lover, and calmly stated, "You can't escape."

Meng Liu attempted to escape more than a dozen times, and each time he failed, he was punished. With his abilities, it would be quite difficult for him to escape so many Nascent Soul stage cultivators, plus a Nascent Soul stage cultivator, all by himself.

Hearing this, the young man was inevitably somewhat frustrated. "They won't let me leave."

His high ability is one thing, but the main point is that if word gets out that the young master has defected, he will probably be ridiculed to the point of madness by the righteous faction.

"How about I help you?" Ye Qiao suddenly asked.

Under Meng Liu's wary gaze, she added with a smile, "What I mean is, let's make a deal."
