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

"That's Ye Qiao?" Xia Qing jumped up, as if she had heard something unbelievable.

Zhu You narrowed his eyes and said softly, "The aura is very similar. I rarely see a second Heavenly Blessing in the cultivation world."

"Nothing is absolute." Chu Xingzhi thought for a moment, "I remember Si Miaoyan got it."

The senior sister of the Azure Water Sect has always been very talented. Her alchemy skills are second to none. At least in the alchemy lineage, she is the only one who has ever received a blessing.

No.

"Ye Qiao also received it."

"When?"

Zhu You rolled her eyes at him, "That time at the Ghost King Tower."

"If they weren't drawn by the light of Heaven's blessing, how do you think the other three members of the Changming Sect knew they were in the Ghost King Tower?"

In the end, it all comes down to Ye Qiao.

The four were stunned into silence by this conjecture. After exchanging glances, Xia Qing spoke in a light voice, regaining her composure slightly, "Why don't we go take a look?"

"If we go without our master's orders, we will be beaten and driven away."

They were not well-liked by the Changming Sect, and the inner disciples often bullied other inner disciples. In the past, they were highly likely to be turned away. They might even have been beaten up.

"What are you thinking, Junior Sister?" Xia Qing asked.

Zhu You: "I'd like to go see it too."

But it's just a thought now.

Zhu You wasn't too concerned about cultivation level. If a rogue cultivator were to achieve the Nascent Soul stage, the ones who should be cheering were the rogue cultivators who had been discriminated against. It meant that rogue cultivators had stood up, and it had little to do with them.

If it were Ye Qiao, then she would have to consider other issues. After all, no matter how things changed before, the Sword Inquiry Sect was always the top sect overall among the five sects. Ye Qinghan had always been far ahead in terms of cultivation level, consistently surpassing the other direct disciples.

However, after the Dragon Clan's ordeal, among the five sects as a whole, the Changming Sect has gained the most. They saw everything clearly inside the recording stone, and everyone except Ye Qiao broke through a cultivation realm.

Zhou Xingyun is also nearing the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, not much different from his senior brother. If that Nascent Soul cultivator is Ye Qiao...

The power structure of those five sects is really about to change.

Xia Qing slowly spoke up: "Actually, there's another way. I remember we owe Ye Qiao quite a few spirit stones."

Xia Qing, who was ranked fourth in the sect, raised his hand and said with a grin, "We can have our senior brother test the waters."

Zhu You's eyes lit up: "Great idea!"

In the past, however, the relationship was that of creditor and debtor. Given Ye Qiao's wicked nature, he would probably play pranks on his senior brother from time to time.

Chu Xingzhi stared blankly as they betrayed their senior brother with just a few words. "Huh?"

"You'll have to pay it back sooner or later. It's perfect that Senior Brother is selling to other families. Do you want Ye Qiao to keep threatening you with a few spirit stones?" Xia Qing raised an eyebrow and asked rhetorically.

Chu Xingzhi retorted, "It's not just a few pieces, it's a lot, a great many pieces."

"That settles it then? If we can't pay back the money to Changming Sect, we'll just work. That's a perfectly valid reason." The more she thought about it, the more perfect the reason seemed. "In a few days, we'll have our senior brother go and check on Changming Sect."

*

On the other side, Ye Qiao, whose realm was now stable, patted the KFC chicken, signaling it to carry her away quickly.

After leaving behind a month-long tribulation of lightning in the Demon Realm, she waved goodbye and slipped away without taking a single cloud with her.

Ancient magic was nearly wiped out with the slaughter of the Spirit Race. Ye Qiao could perfectly conceal her aura with a single hand seal. The Demon Race leaders, who had finally managed to wait for the end of the tribulation and were preparing to trap her like a turtle in a jar, were completely dumbfounded.

The young master defected, and the demon race was shrouded in lightning tribulation for nearly a month, yet they still couldn't find out who was undergoing the tribulation, causing all the demons to be filled with unease.

The higher-ups had painstakingly sent people to stake out the area for a month, but they found nothing. Not to mention a Nascent Soul cultivator, they couldn't even find the slightest trace of aura at the scene.

……

The Changming Sect was unusually lively today. Several disciples gathered together for a meeting. Xue Yu's first thought was that with a Nascent Soul cultivator emerging, their Changming Sect would be rich in the future.

"We'll sell our junior sister."

"Sell the eldest brother again."

"Let's find out how many spirit stones Ye Qinghan sold for. We definitely can't be lower than him." Ming Xuan clapped his hands and smiled, "Imagine Chu Xingzhi's expression; it'll be hilarious."

The love-hate entanglement between Mingxuan and Chuxingzhi is destined to be unsolvable. Among so many disciples, Chuxingzhi just happened to like mocking Mingxuan from the beginning. Mingxuan holds grudges, and the feud between the two has always seemed to be getting worse rather than worse.

Mu Chongxi waved enthusiastically, "Selling our junior sister will definitely make us the most money!"

Don't count on the Sword Inquiry Sect; the Changming Sect is the one everyone wants.

So what if the four professions of Changming Sect are not fully distributed? They still have the Nascent Soul stage.

"You can't sell it." Finally, even the quietest senior brother had a shred of conscience. "That's my junior sister."

"So when is Junior Sister coming back?" Mingxuan, who had been lazily sprawled on the table, sat up straight.

KFC was faster than flying swords; it only took them a day to travel from the Demon Realm to the Changming Sect's territory.

From the foot of the mountain upwards, the outer gate and the inner gate are arranged in sequence.

The Changming Sect has a clear rule that it is forbidden to ride strange flying objects after entering the Changming Sect territory. In fact, there was no such rule at first. It was only after Ye Qiao started to grab any monster and ride it around that an extra rule was added.

She put the KFC away, and with a swift step, her divine sense, even without consciously looking, could easily detect many inner disciples of the Changming Sect sneaking down the mountain together.

There were also various sounds in my ears.

On her way back to the sect, Ye Qiao also took the opportunity to gather information about what had happened while they were away. The casual conversations of passersby helped her understand what had occurred.

Simply put, the eight major families are looking for henchmen. They've set their sights on the direct disciples of the five major sects, because they're young, talented, and easy to control.

"Ye Qinghan was sold to the Ye family, and the other aristocratic families are furious." The only Nascent Soul Peak cultivator was absorbed by the Ye family themselves, so it would be strange if the other aristocratic families weren't angry.

"I remember Ye Qinghan wasn't our number one beauty?" an ignorant cultivator exclaimed. "So he's that amazing?" Hearing this, Ye Qiao almost burst out laughing.

Another person in the conversation naturally continued, "The key point is that the Eight Great Families like him; who doesn't like someone with high cultivation?"

"This must be what they call 'the people's wish has been fulfilled'," said one of Ye Qinghan's fans, their tone filled with admiration.

As Ye Qiao passed by, she originally intended to turn her head without looking back and act as an emotionless disciple, but the phrase "the number one beauty" made her stop for a few seconds. After listening for a moment, she added, "Ah, right, right, the one everyone hopes for, Ye Qinghan, the peerless beauty Ye Qinghan. Remember to promote our number one in the cultivation world like this from now on."

After speaking, he quickly passed by them, causing the cultivators who were originally discussing animatedly to turn their heads.

He recognized her very quickly.

"Ye Qiao?"

"Where did she go?"

"N-I don't know."

The three bewildered outer disciples could only watch as the other party left.

Recalling Ye Qiao's words before she left, they pondered for a moment: "Could it be that Ye Qiao also admires Ye Qinghan?"

"No way..." This is completely impossible. Who is Ye Qiao? She is someone who can drive Ye Qinghan crazy and who has stepped on the bottom line of the other four sects without being killed.

Ye Qiao's fans also had something to say: "Yeah, she can knock Ye Qinghan to the ground. How could she possibly admire Ye Qinghan?"

This is a silent duel between two Ye Chui.

……

Ye Qiao quickly prepared to return to the sect, and along the way, she used her senior brother's jade slip to contact Qin Fanfan.

Qin Fanfan, who had already prepared to go to the Demon Clan to rescue Ye Qiao, was slightly taken aback.

It should be noted that once the Nascent Soul Tribulation ends, Ye Qiao will be completely unprotected. Given the vengeful nature of the demons, they will absolutely not let her go, the culprit who caused the demons to unleash a month-long tribulation.

Qin Fanfan's heart skipped a beat: "Didn't the Demon Lord kill you?"

"No." Ye Qiao's reaction speed after her training was fast enough that she could immediately activate her spell and maintain it for a long time. She said, "The Half-Moon Clan's concealment spell is very useful."

Xie Chuxue narrowed her eyes. The name sounded so familiar.

He seemed thoughtful. "Did you learn that during the saintess's trials?"

In the Nascent Soul stage trial, Xie Chuxue was indeed the fastest to complete the trial in the cultivation world, but her score was pitifully low, and she received no rewards when she left. Ye Qiao, who had stayed in the trial for so long, would only have an even lower score.

After all, the Nascent Soul stage trial must be completed as quickly as possible; dragging it out will not bring any benefit.

However, Ye Qiao is a child who loves a thrill.

"Why have you been in there for so long, you little rascal?" Duan Yu asked hurriedly.

Ye Qiao was silent for a few seconds. Could he tell Elder Duan and the others that he had been dragging this out for so long simply because he was so monstrous from being killed that he was planning to wipe out those demons before leaving?

Speaking of Ye Qiao's trial, Xie Chuxue couldn't help but reminisce about her own glorious days, "I've been through that trial. It was really ruthless, you died repeatedly right from the start."

Commonly known as the "opening kill".

In that trial, where is there any immortality?

Xie Chuxue was much older than Ye Qiao when she participated in that trial. However, after being killed several times, her Dao heart almost became unstable, and her actions gradually became more extreme over time.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to kidnap the little saintess and force her to live.

Xie Chuxue only wanted to escape the repeated trials of death at that time.

Those judges harbored extreme malice towards the Nascent Soul cultivators participating in the trials. They relished watching these Nascent Soul cultivators struggle painfully, desperately seeking a way out of the predicament.

This is probably one of the few sources of enjoyment they have.

"There's one more thing," Ye Qiao quickly added, "Before I came out, I cleaved the trial area in two with a single sword strike. Senior Brother and the others should be careful during their trials after they reach the Nascent Soul stage; they're probably holding a grudge against me."

Xie Chuxue: "..."

Lang is still Ye Qiaolang.

Before leaving, he didn't forget to give those judges a final blow; why didn't he think of that back then?

Xie Chuxue turned to the four of them and earnestly instructed them, "When you are going to undergo the Nascent Soul stage trials in the future, remember not to let those judges discover that you are from the Changming Sect."

He had previously worried that Ye Qiao might be influenced by his outstanding achievements in his youth, which would lead to several trials having a bad impression of Ye Qiao and maliciously targeting her, thus causing a delay of a full thirty days.

Now it seems that he wasn't even needed. Ye Qiao single-handedly managed to drag the already bad reputation of Changming Sect to rock bottom.

Mu Li looked like an old man on the subway looking at his phone.

—What kind of people are these?

Qin Fanfan and the others had many questions they wanted to ask Ye Qiao, such as her rating, but since they hadn't seen her yet, they could only patiently wait for her to arrive and ask her in person.

Ye Qiao patted her head, then suddenly brought up another matter, "Junior Uncle, is Elder Zhao nearby?"

Regarding Mu Li's problem, she planned to seek a solution from Elder Zhao. Elder Zhao was probably the most versatile person in the sect; although he had a bad temper, he knew a lot.

Mu Li did help her, but one thing is one thing, leaving a demon in the wild is always a ticking time bomb.

Mu Li saw through her intention to betray him after using him, and his face darkened: "You want to get me out of here?"

Initially, he chose Ye Qiao for possession, mainly because of her high talent and status as the Sword Master of the Unseen Sword Sect, making her a better fit than Meng Liu by any measure. Who knew his luck would run so badly, ending up with a cultivator from the Path of the Common People?

However, the one who did not see the king was extremely forgetful of his master.

Over the past few days, and considering their time together during the trial, Mu Li discovered that this person is completely submissive to gentle persuasion and resistant to force.

He gritted his teeth, trying to keep his voice calm, "Give me some time, I'm going to possess a demon."

If they were truly brought out, given the righteous faction's righteous and indignant nature, they would absolutely destroy humanity.

Ye Qiao raised an eyebrow, unusually easy to talk to, and replied with two words in her mind: "Okay."

Anyway, once they arrive at Changming Sect, how to deal with this Demon Lord is just a matter of the elders' word. Of all people to possess, why did he have to possess a personal disciple? This is purely like a lamb entering a wolf's den.

Qin Fanfan, who had been paying attention to the area around Changming Sect, gradually realized that something was wrong.

He could sense any unfamiliar aura entering his realm, and Ye Qiao wouldn't lie to him about his realm, but Qin Fanfan could assure him that there was indeed no trace of the Nascent Soul stage aura around them.

There wasn't even the aura of a Nascent Soul cultivator entering.

"Xiao Qiao, have you arrived at the Changming Sect's territory yet?"

Ye Qiao didn't understand why he asked that question, and honestly replied, "We've arrived."

Qin Fanfan was puzzled. "Then why didn't I detect any other approaching auras?"

That's very strange.

Xie Chuxue raised her voice, "Concealment talismans can't achieve this effect. Xiao Qiao's should be a kind of magic." Concealment talismans are ineffective against cultivators with much higher cultivation levels, but neither she nor Qin Fanfan noticed any flow of energy.

Duan Yu suddenly realized, "Could it be that he practiced the Turtle Kung Fu?"

Elder Zhao's lips twitched, and he said coldly, "That's called Turtle Breathing Technique, not Turtle Technique."

Hearing the familiar mocking voices of the elders, Ye Qiao, having experienced the disappointment of searching for people before, simply inquired in the jade slip whether they were all in the main hall, so as to avoid another fruitless search.

No sooner had she finished speaking than Xie Chuxue interrupted, his tone deep, "No need, Xiao Qiao. Don't move. We'll come get you."

Xie Chuxue's voice was unusually calm. After hanging up the jade slip, he had been half-believing and half-doubting. After Ye Qiao personally admitted that he was a Nascent Soul cultivator, he was so emotionally turbulent that his hands were numb.

The only one to achieve the Divine Transformation stage in nearly a century came from their Changming Sect.

After calming her excitement, Xie Chuxue pushed all the people in the hall out in a flash, and said happily, "What are you standing there for? Our ancestor has arrived, let's welcome him!"
