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

"You help me lure some Nascent Soul Peak experts. When the battle starts, you chase after them and try to lead them to a specific location."

"I'll take care of those pursuers who are chasing you. Then you can fly freely, how about that?"

Ye Qiao is currently only a Nascent Soul Peak Demon Cultivator, just one step away from the Divine Transformation stage. For such a Demon Clan breakthrough, given the Heavenly Dao's hatred towards the Demon Clan, the tribulation lightning is no less massive than that of the direct disciples' tribulations.

That was a tribulation lightning strike at the Nascent Soul stage, more than three times stronger than that at the Spirit Transformation stage.

As long as one demon breaks through, Ye Qiao can definitely borrow as much as she wants in one go.

"You'll help me?" Meng Liu glanced at her suspiciously. "With your little girl?"

Her two little girls are indeed quite strong, especially the red-haired one. Once the flames start, they can't be extinguished, making her a good tool for interception.

Indeed! Lolis are truly treasures of the world!

Ye Qiao looked at this pervert with a complicated expression, "What you're saying isn't entirely wrong."

She really needs to rely on her two little girls. The main reason is that if things go smoothly, she wants to use this opportunity to break through to the Nascent Soul stage. If she succeeds, let alone dealing with the demonic cultivators who are chasing her, even leveling the interior with lightning tribulation will be a minor problem.

So whether they can escape successfully depends on how capable the young master is.

"Why didn't you do it yourself?" Meng Liu was even more puzzled. She shouldn't be weak, right? He hadn't seen her lift a finger the entire time. Was there something she was hiding?

Ye Qiao said matter-of-factly, "My cultivation level was entirely boosted by my contracted beast. I'm different from you; I don't rely on my parents, I rely on my children."

Just kidding, Ye Qiao wouldn't make a move until she was confident she could escape; the righteous sword energy was too easily recognizable. If she made a move rashly, she would definitely face a swarm attack from the demonic cultivators.

Ye Qiao's self-righteous attitude left Meng Liu stunned. He shook the little girl in front of him in disbelief, expressing his astonishment with his actions: she was clearly taking advantage of his kindness!

Are we just going to spoil her like this?

You're so confused.

KFC was almost dizzy from the shock. Ye Qiao snatched her contracted beast back and looked at Meng Liu, indicating what his decision was.

"Sure. It'll be a pleasure working with you." Seeing Ye Qiao's confident attitude, the young man put aside his other thoughts; he was still interested in the two little girls.

Putting aside the cuteness of the two little girls, their abilities are considerable, and having two helpers might increase their chances of escaping.

After the righteous and demonic factions reached a deal, they discussed the next steps. Meng Liu still found her plan unreliable. "Are you sure you want me to take action and fight several peak Nascent Soul cultivators? Constantly provoking them to break through their cultivation levels?"

The question is, if someone is so traumatized that they break through their limits on the spot, can the people in the vicinity still survive?

Ye Qiao replied with a blink, "I'm here. No surprises."

She always had enough spiritual energy stored up. All the spiritual energy Ye Qiao had accumulated through her experiences was less than what the Dragon Pearl gave her at that moment in the South China Sea. That was when all the spiritual energy of the entire South China Sea was gathered on one person at that moment.

If you can't withstand it, your body will explode.

Clearly, there was no spiritual energy that the Heavenly Spiritual Root could not withstand; it absorbed as much as it could, and at that moment, it absorbed all the spiritual energy of the entire South China Sea.

If her spiritual roots could keep up with this speed, then her breakthrough wouldn't be slower than Ye Qinghan's and the others.

Currently, Ye Qiao is undoubtedly the slowest among the five sects, as she is severely restricted.

To put it bluntly, if those limitations were ignored, her cultivation level might be higher than that of all the direct disciples of the Five Sects.

Seeing that he still didn't believe her, Ye Qiao had no choice but to try and fool him, "Have you ever heard of a spiritual root that needs to be nurtured for a long time?"

Meng Liu paused for a moment, then nodded thoughtfully. "No. I've only ever seen geniuses with top-grade spiritual roots, but those are mostly found within the five sects through personal instruction. I've never heard of spiritual roots needing to grow."

"If it needs to grow, what will its spiritual root ultimately look like? Will it mutate?"

What would a fully grown spiritual root look like at its peak?

Ye Qiao couldn't help but ponder this, as it was something she had never thought of before.

The demons don't follow the proper path and don't understand much about spiritual roots. They break through realms entirely by killing people. He quickly realized that Ye Qiao was talking about herself, and raised his voice slightly: "So, you're the kind of spiritual root that needs to grow? You need lightning tribulations to grow?" What kind of spiritual root is that?

Ye Qiao nodded. She could sense the impending storm. Other disciples could break through in this way, whether they were in seclusion or undergoing trials. But for Ye Qiao, one or two trials wouldn't make much of a difference if she wanted to break through.

Therefore, she chose to take an unconventional approach and approached the demons.

The Demon Clan has the highest concentration of Nascent Soul cultivators.

She doesn't mind if it's just one or a few.

Meng Liu still felt that she was fooling him. The idea of ​​a growth-type spiritual root was already outrageous. Who would use a tribulation of lightning to break through to a higher realm?

If there really is one, I've only ever heard of the Changming Sect having a lightning-type Heavenly Spiritual Root.

Before he could ponder this further, Ye Qiao interrupted his thoughts, "How many Nascent Soul Peak cultivators can you hold back?"

Ye Qiao still remembered the proud tone of that Nascent Soul cultivator when he mentioned the newly appointed young master. So Meng Liu must be very strong, at least stronger than the average demon. Even though he doesn't cultivate the path of slaughter, his realm is more stable than that of the average demon.

"Three," he answered truthfully. "Any more would cause deaths."

"I can kill three Nascent Soul stage cultivators. If there are more, I can exchange a few blows with them. But I can't do anything else."

"You don't need to kill them." Ye Qiao quickly stopped him from this dangerous idea. If she killed all those demons, how would she borrow lightning? "Just exchange a few blows with them and see if you can stimulate them to break through their cultivation levels."

"I understand." This was the first time he had heard such a strange request—not to kill, but to fight. The young man added, "Actually, I could barely fight someone at the Nascent Soul stage."

The demon race's Nascent Soul stage cultivators relied entirely on special methods to deceive the heavens and earth. Without the tribulation of lightning, the difference between Nascent Soul stage cultivators is also significant.

Although lightning tribulation is brutal, one's cultivation level will definitely be unstable without being struck by lightning tribulation.

"Our Nascent Soul cultivators are only more numerous than cultivators. They are enough to fight Nascent Soul cultivators, but against true Nascent Soul cultivators, they probably wouldn't last more than a few moves."

Ye Qiao shook her head: "No need. Just find someone at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, leave the rest to me."

After chatting with the young master for a few more minutes, several demons entered the dungeon. It was said that the young master's repeated attempts to defect had angered the elders, who wanted to take him away and torture him.

Ye Qiao was unlucky enough to be dragged along for interrogation.

Meng Liu winked at her, signaling her not to panic, and whispered, "We'll see how things go later. I'll help you if anything goes wrong."

Ye Qiao nodded. But she felt that if something really happened, he wouldn't be able to help her much.
