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

The cultivation world has been on the verge of a storm these past few days. For safety reasons, all the training missions that were supposed to be held have been canceled, and people are now confined to their sects to cultivate. This year, many new disciples have been recruited, and most of these new disciples are there because they want to see the personal disciples in person.

Therefore, during this period, almost all the direct disciples were expelled by their own masters and brought in new junior brothers and sisters to join the sect.

Compared to the obedient and well-behaved disciples of the other four sects, and then looking at the five disciples of her own sect who had disappeared without a trace, even Qin Fanfan couldn't help but wonder if there was something wrong with her laissez-faire approach.

however.

A true wise person learns from their failures.

Qin Fanfan, who had repeatedly failed to educate her disciples, calmly touched her face, then shifted her gaze and saw Xie Chuxue sleeping.

He immediately concluded in anger that it was indeed because he hadn't hit Xie Chuxue hard enough!

"Damn it! Give my disciples back right now!" He shook Xie Chuxue frantically. "Did you know something all along? Where are Xiao Qiao and the others?"

Xie Chuxue is a riddle-maker all day long, always leaving things unsaid. Before leaving, he even gave Ye Qiao so many talismans. It's hard not to suspect that he knows something.

Xie Chuxue: "..."

"Stop, stop shaking me." He struggled to free his collar from Qin Fanfan's grasp, his eyes, still shaken, rolled upwards as he looked at the sky. Noticing something, his pupils shifted slightly, and his expression became utterly lifeless: "Look over there."

"Hmm?" Qin Fanfan deftly released her hand and looked up at the sky. For a powerful being who has reached a certain level, a quick glance would be enough to identify the problem.

Qin Fanfan completely lost interest in beating Xie Chuxue: "What's going on?"

Duan Yu stroked his stubble-covered chin thoughtfully, "That is the tribulation lightning of the Nascent Soul stage."

The appearance of the Nascent Soul stage surprised Elder Zhao, who was originally uninterested in Qin Fanfan's daily routine of beating up Xie Chuxue in a full-blown fight.

His eyes narrowed into slits, and his voice was deep, "It's still the tribulation of four Nascent Soul cultivators."

The direction is that of the demons, which is quite interesting.

Xie Chuxue lazily rested her hand on her forehead. "I remember the Demon Clan hasn't produced a Nascent Soul cultivator in a hundred years. How strange."

"To be precise, our cultivation world hasn't produced a proper Nascent Soul cultivator in a hundred years," Elder Zhao said coldly. "But the Demon Clan has just hidden themselves, which doesn't mean they don't exist. It's just that their strength is much weaker than a proper Nascent Soul cultivator."

According to the intelligence provided by the Moon Purity Sect, there are no more than three genuine Nascent Soul cultivators within the Demon Clan. It is said that they recently appointed a new young master, who is very young, no more than twenty years old. If he breaks through to the next realm, he will be the only genuine Nascent Soul cultivator in the Demon Clan in the last hundred years.

He didn't rely on possessing other people's bodies, but cultivated step by step to reach the Nascent Soul stage, which sets him apart from many other Nascent Soul cultivators.

"I didn't expect there to be demonic cultivators among the demon race who follow the righteous path?" Duan Yu was slightly surprised.

"That's not the point." Xie Chuxue felt that their topic had gone astray, and he slightly composed himself. "The first proper Nascent Soul stage cultivator in a hundred years. If he doesn't come from our righteous path, we'll be ridiculed as a waste."

These firsthand accounts have drawn just as much ridicule from outsiders as others.

People like Ye Qiao, who are like dead pigs that aren't afraid of boiling water, are typical examples of those who can block out outside noise. It's hard to say about others. If they can't compare to geniuses from other places, they will really be called useless despite having so many resources.

In his memory, Mingxuan, who had been through countless reincarnations, was a typical example.

Qin Fanfan stroked her chin: "But why are there four demons who have broken through to the Nascent Soul stage?"

Everyone in the cultivation world knows how the demon race's Nascent Soul cultivators ascended to the heavens: they used various methods to deceive the Heavenly Dao and evade the fate of being wiped out by heavenly lightning.

Four Nascent Soul cultivators undergoing tribulations—it's all rather unbelievable.

Moreover, judging from their aggressive approach, this is not a good sign for the cultivation world.

No one would have guessed that this commotion was caused by their trusted protégé. Xie Chuxue narrowed her eyes, frantically searching her memories to match them with her own recollections, but to no avail. So…

He nodded his chin. "Perhaps it has something to do with Xiao Qiao."

*

KFC had been annoyed with this pervert for a long time. Seeing him still trying to stick to her, she impatiently squatted down and transformed into her original form.

The scene of a little girl turning into a phoenix was so painful to watch that Meng Liu stared at it for a long time, unable to recover.

Ye Qiao seemed oblivious to his visibly furrowed brow, extending her hand and inviting him, "Want to come along?"

Meng Liu shook his head with difficulty, "No."

His last act of defiance was refusing to ride a loli.

And there is...

"Where are you going?" Meng Liu swallowed hard, staring at the fiery red phoenix, and couldn't help but rub his hands together. He had even touched the phoenix's head before.

Compared to the enormous size of the dragon, the phoenix is ​​smaller and not as conspicuous when perched in the air, but its fiery red color is much more beautiful than that of the dragon.

Ye Qiao glanced at the sky from mid-air. Lightning flashed, and it seemed that the Heavenly Dao was still planning how to strike down these demons all at once.

She answered irrelevantly, "The lightning tribulation is about to strike. Aren't you going to run?"

She pointed to the sky above, somewhat surprised by Meng Liu's slowness. The sky was covered with dark clouds, and with the Half-Immortal Flower and the Spirit Gathering Array, some demons who were just one step away from the Nascent Soul stage could be easily activated to break through their realm.

They have no restrictions, or rather, Heaven is eager for them to break through to the next level, just waiting for a bolt of lightning to strike these guys dead.

Faced with Ye Qiao's question, Meng Liu gave a wry smile.

In this situation, how could he possibly escape? He should at least have some confidence in his ability to attract hatred. Those demons who wanted to pluck the half-immortal flower but were beaten to it by him and Ye Qiao are already furious. In the past, he could have escaped by using his status as the young master, but after colluding with Ye Qiao, he has directly become a thief.

He and Ye Qiao stole the Demon Lord's Sword together? Are you crazy?

"You said you'd take me out."

Ye Qiao nodded. "I did say that."

"But cooperation is a two-way street." Compared to Meng Liu's anxiety, Ye Qiao was much calmer. "See those demons? How long can you hold them off?"

Meng Liu's expression darkened slightly, and he cautiously replied, "If it's not a matter of not seeing you, it will take at most a quarter of an hour."

Ye Qiao looked a little disappointed; clearly, the time was too short for her.

Meng Liu knew that the time allotted was a bit short, but she didn't even consider how many demons were in front of her.

First, he stole the Half-Immortal Flower, and then he cooperated with the righteous path. This time, Meng Liu couldn't even sever ties with Ye Qiao; he was directly listed as a traitor by the demons.

Now that Meng Liu was on the wrong side of the gang, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and continue fighting her.

Dark clouds gathered in the sky, and even the demons who had been clamoring to kill them had tacitly moved away from the center of the lightning tribulation.

Those demons were undergoing their tribulations, while they were capturing Ye Qiao. Ye Qiao's bounty was exceptionally high. They didn't know which stupid demon had spread the ridiculous rumor that she was dead, causing them to let Ye Qiao roam around right under their noses for so long.

"How did they break through to the next level?" A bewildered demon gasped. "And they did it without even using any rare treasures to conceal their aura. Do they have a death wish?"

"Perhaps he wants to overcome the tribulation of the Nascent Soul stage and elevate his cultivation level above those of others at the same level?"

"Them? They think they can get through this?" One of the Nascent Soul stage men curled his sneer. "The Nascent Soul stage can fool the Heavenly Dao, but the Nascent Soul stage... if we don't eliminate them soon, do you think the Heavenly Dao will tolerate it?"

Anyway, those demons undergoing tribulation were all going to die, so he tilted his head and signaled all the nearby demons to surround Ye Qiao.

"Instead of wasting time on this, we should take this opportunity to capture Ye Qiao alive."

Another Nascent Soul cultivator behind him added calmly, "No need to capture him alive, just kill him."

Capturing him alive is too risky; it's faster to kill him.

The two Nascent Soul cultivators' voices didn't soften and clearly reached Meng Liu's ears. He couldn't help but grin, "Ye Qiao, you're really hateful."

"Don't say that." Ye Qiao narrowed her eyes, looking at the two Nascent Soul cultivators, to prove herself, "I am the future light of the righteous path."

"Is that so?" He deflected the question with a forced smile. "Then I think your righteous path won't be long before it's wiped out."

That being said, Meng Liu still managed to stop the demons from attacking.

Meng Liu was able to hold off these demons for a quarter of an hour mainly because he was supported by the form of the Unseen Monarch's staff.

Judging from the current trend, during the tribulation of lightning strikes, there will definitely be demons trying to find ways to eliminate themselves.

Ye Qiao kept bothering Mu Li in her mind, "Is Xiao Ai there?"

Meng Liu has made it very clear that the swords of the demon race are most effective in the hands of demons. She cannot do it in a short time, but the Demon Lord can.

Although Mu Li had ill intentions, she wasn't a good person either.

With such a powerful first-generation demon lord right there, she wouldn't be satisfied without squeezing him out a bit.

Mu Li wasn't paying much attention to the situation, or rather, it wasn't that he didn't want to, but Ye Qiao had blocked his probing gaze with her divine sense, preventing him from seeing what was happening outside. He was uninterested. "What did you call me for this time?"

Ye Qiao: "I'll let you come out and play a bit later."

Mu Li: "?"

While harassing Mu Li, Ye Qiao didn't forget to have KFC carry her through the air to avoid him, constantly getting closer to the sky.

Meng Liu has already stopped quite a few people.

Meng Liu could feel his blood draining away rapidly. He gritted his teeth. The Demon Lord's sword was never a benevolent weapon. He was not the sword master of the Unseen Ruler Sword, so naturally he would have to pay a price to use it.

"You've worked hard." She looked at Meng Liu, whose face was pale, and at the oncoming demons. Her flying sword flashed and transformed into a sword shadow. She joined the battle to help him intercept the demons attacking the two of them.

"But please hang in there a little longer."

She thought to herself, "It'll be fine once the lightning strikes."

Meng Liu dodged the attacks with difficulty. "What exactly do you want to do? At least tell me." As an ally, he had no idea what Ye Qiao was thinking.

Just as Ye Qiao was about to say something to Meng Liu, a bolt of lightning suddenly grazed her head and burrowed into the ground. The tingling sensation caused by the electric current instantly spread throughout her body, and her hair seemed to stand on end. Ye Qiao lowered her body and quickly said, "Stop talking. The lightning tribulation is coming."

Meng Liu was also startled by the sudden bolt of lightning. He looked pale, not knowing what he was seeing. "Of course I knew the tribulation was coming, but why is it coming at you?!"
