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

"Get out of the way." Faced with his suddenly crazed ally, Shen Ziwei remained relatively calm. He prepared to use his craftsman's tenacity and perseverance to see if he could break the barrier with his magical artifact.

……

When Ye Qiao and the others arrived at the inner perimeter, they also noticed the unfortunate few who were trapped. The only remaining Fu Xiu were her, Song Hansheng, Ming Xuan, and Su Zhuo.

The remaining talisman cultivators all rushed in to seize the spiritual vein.

After noticing the situation inside, Qin Huai, before anyone could react, decisively grabbed Su Zhuo and pulled him forward, holding his spirit sword horizontally against Su Zhuo's neck. He wisely avoided a direct confrontation with the Changming Sect, instead turning to Song Hansheng, tilting his head slightly to indicate that he should come with him, "If you don't want him to be crippled by me, help us break the barrier."

With all members of the Chengfeng Sect trapped, Qin Huai didn't want to fight alone, so finding a talisman cultivator was the wisest choice right now.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye. Ye Qiao and the others had already rushed to the inner perimeter to find Zhou Xingyun and see if he had managed to snatch the spiritual vein.

Song Hansheng's only hope was the Changming Sect, but Ye Qiao and the others left first, leaving Su Zhuo, this good-for-nothing, completely defenseless and taken hostage. He calmly looked back and said, "You don't dare to kill him."

That's for sure; the five rules didn't force them to kill each other.

Qin Huai smiled slightly. Since Ye Qiao wasn't there, he was quite confident: "Of course I wouldn't dare, which is why I said I'd cripple him. You know, injuries are inevitable in a fight; it's normal. If you don't want to see your junior brother suffer, you can give up the second major spiritual vein. Anyway, your Yueqing Sect isn't lacking in spiritual energy."

Song Hansheng stared coldly at him, deciding to back down first. "Let's go inside and see what the situation is like. How can you be so sure that our Yueqing Sect has secured the second largest spiritual vein?"

No one can say for sure what the situation is like inside the enclosure.

Qin Huai agreed to his suggestion, and the two sects entered the inner perimeter of Penglai one after the other.

Chu Ling watched the show with great interest. It was really interesting. These people could turn on each other the moment they stepped into the inner circle. Could this hypocritical and superficial relationship be their inherent characteristic?

Zhou Xingyun was one of those who stepped into the inner circle. Sword cultivators have a huge advantage in this regard. He forcefully swept away the obstacles with a single sword strike. As they expected, the largest spiritual vein was occupied by the Changming Sect.

Seeing this, Qin Huai and the others stopped arguing and turned to fight the Yueqing Sect. They knew they couldn't possibly win against the Changming Sect by force. Ye Qiao was holding her own against the odds in a three-on-one situation. Qin Huai quickly calmed down because of some unfathomable realm.

If this path is blocked, we'll try another one: rob the Moon Cleansing Sect. After all, before the elders arrive and the markings are made, there's no clear indication that a spiritual vein belongs to a particular sect.

The Moon Purification Sect is easier to deal with than the Changming Sect.

When Ye Qiao stepped into the inner circle, she also caught a glimpse of Shen Ziwei and Miao Miao, who were imprisoned. Unfortunately, both of them were on the opposing side. When she met Miao Miao's big, watery eyes, she cruelly turned her head away and quickly walked inside with Ming Xuan.

The largest spiritual vein on Penglai Island is so comfortable that you'd want to lie there and take a nap.

A continuous flow of spiritual energy coursed through his body. Mingxuan sat cross-legged and began to regulate the spiritual energy within him.

After breaking through her cultivation level, Ye Qiao felt no difference as the spiritual energy continuously poured into her cultivation, like water droplets flowing into a vast ocean. Clearly, relying on this small amount of spiritual energy in a short period of time would be useless for her if she wanted to break through again.

There's no rush to cultivate, Ye Qiao clapped her hands, "I'll go see how their looting is going."

Without the checks and balances between the Sword Inquiry Sect and the Everlasting Brightness Sect, the Everlasting Brightness Sect could become the sole dominant force.

If Qin Huai had any brains, he wouldn't have bothered them; the environment around Changming Sect was extremely quiet.

"Me too, me too!" Mu Chongxi jumped up. "Let's go see what the Yueqing Sect is up to."

Without them, the Yueqing Sect and the Chengfeng Sect would definitely fight.

……

Song Hansheng followed Qin Huai all the way. When they passed Shen Ziwei and Miaomiao, he actually wanted to pretend he was blind and not see them, but Qin Huai obviously wouldn't allow him not to see them. The other party gave a brief order: "Release them."

Song Hansheng certainly didn't want to. Putting aside Miaomiao, the spiritual weapon in Shen Ziwei's hand would be a huge and troublesome problem if it were released.

Song Hansheng was still trying to stall for time, saying, "I can't open the barrier right now..."

"Some of the runes on this barrier are ones I've never seen before. It might take some time to break through it." He wanted to stall until the elders sent people to arrive and completely mark the spiritual vein as belonging to the Yueqing Sect.

Although this is somewhat unrealistic.

Qin Huai watched him perform quietly, gave a forced smile, and without wasting words, simply pressed his sword against Su Zhuo's neck and uttered a single, cold word: "Release them. I don't want to repeat myself."

"Even if you can't break through it, what about the Moon Arrow? Don't tell me that the Moon Arrow, which can break through ten thousand formations with one arrow, can't break through a barrier." He was certain that the Moon Arrow was on Song Hansheng.

The atmosphere instantly became extremely tense.

The entire inner area was quiet. Song Hansheng admitted that he was extremely angry at this moment, and the corners of his lips curled into a cold smile. A bright moon arrow condensed and landed in his palm.

It seems they're planning to give in.

After all, their chances of winning against Chengfeng Sect are not high.

Chu Ling held her breath slightly.

To be honest, their daily lives are quite exciting.

"How domineering." Ye Qiao peeked out from behind the tree and exclaimed. Qin Huai was probably the kind of person who meant what he said and didn't care about anything else, even more unreasonable than Ye Qinghan.

Ye Qinghan is at least easy to fool, but Qin Huai has a brain.

Mingxuan peeked out furtively: "Huh, the Chengfeng Sect is shameless for a few spiritual veins."

"At this point, who cares about saving face? We grabbed the first and biggest one; Qin Huai isn't going to give up the rest."

"I have a question," Ye Qiao said. "Who was pressing my head down?"

Zhou Xingyun said seriously, "Don't press down on your junior sister, or she won't grow tall."

Mu Chongxi pondered, "Junior Sister probably won't grow any taller, right?"

Ye Qiao is not short, but compared to these four people who are of superior height, she is completely suppressed.

At first, she didn't react and subconsciously gave a perfunctory "uh-huh." When she came to her senses, she kicked him and said, "You're the one who's not growing anymore. I can definitely still grow."

In fact, Ye Qiao also pondered this philosophical question: at eighteen, can one grow any older?

In the blink of an eye, the Moon Arrow in Song Hansheng's hand materialized, he drew his bow, and the moon-colored light condensed into an arrow, which he pressed down towards Qin Huai and the others.

The Moon Arrow was crafted to break formations, but magical weapons are lethal. I remember when Ye Qiao stormed the dungeon with a bow and arrow, she knocked out several innocent and pitiful guards with just two arrows.

Seeing the opportunity, Song Hansheng loosened his grip, and the arrow flew out through the wind.

Qin Huai tried to dodge, but he couldn't avoid the arrows at all. Fu Xiu seemed to always hit the mark with the spirit bow. Ye Qiao had done the same with the Bright Moon Arrow, and Song Hansheng had done the same.

After the eight arrows repeatedly disrupted his movements, Qin Huai also realized how troublesome this magical artifact was.

He simply pulled Su Zhuo over to block the shot, thus restricting Song Hansheng's movements.

Qin Huai flipped his palm, and suddenly a bright, iron-like magical artifact appeared. Song Hansheng frowned slightly, and saw the light reflected from the spirit arrow suddenly fall onto the barrier. The solid barrier was touched by the bright moon arrow, and the barrier was visibly disintegrating.

With Shen Ziwei and Miaomiao released, the situation truly became one-sided.

Miao Miao jumped back to find a safe distance, nocked her bow, and aimed at Song Hansheng. Her nimble bow was faster than the Moon Arrow.

Song Hansheng's face paled slightly. The arrow had almost grazed his neck, and just a little off-center, it had slit his throat. The boy almost laughed in anger, "Miao, Miao."

She definitely did it on purpose, otherwise she couldn't have timed it so precisely.

Miao Miao calmly tilted her head at him, "I'm sorry, I was locked up and my mind went a little erratic. Please understand."

"Why should we give Yueqing Sect any face?" Shen Ziwei waved her hand. The character of Yueqing Sect was really worrying. In fact, the two sects had a grudge before the competition. Their junior brother, Duan Hengdao, had been humiliated by Song Hansheng more than once.

The pain of being struck by Song Hansheng's talisman, which nearly tore his soul apart, made his face grim, but his hands did not stop moving in the slightest. They were fighting for the talisman, but they could not hurt each other's lives. Even if Song Hansheng had a thousand tricks up his sleeve, he did not need to worry about his life.

Qin Huai was more ruthless than the others, which meant that Song Hansheng's counterattack had no effect on deterring or repelling him; instead, it made him move even faster.

When the person suddenly appeared in front of him, Song Hansheng's defensive talisman worked, blocking several consecutive punches. Song Hansheng was horrified to find that the person had no intention of stopping at all.

If this continues, even if he shatters countless defensive talismans, Qin Huai will not stop as long as he is not hit.

Resistance turned out to be futile.

Qin Huai's approach was undoubtedly effective. Under Song Hansheng's attack, Qin Huai did not try to dodge. With his savage fighting style, he broke through Song Hansheng's defensive talisman with a punch and then slammed down hard. The huge explosive force threw Song Hansheng into a tree, which snapped in half. You can imagine how fierce the blow was.

The two sides almost ended up losing each other.

Su Zhuo secretly tried to launch a sneak attack, but Shen Ziwei and Miaomiao stopped him by pressing his head down.

The situation reached a stalemate.

Just then, Qin Huai suddenly felt a chilling aura as a pale yellow arrow burst forth with intense light and appeared abruptly behind him.

Everyone is familiar with it—the Spirit Arrow.

The question is, whose spirit arrow is this?
