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

What surprised them was not the attack, but the flying arrows.

In the cultivation world, the only known spiritual bow is the Bright Moon Arrow. Miao Miao's bow and arrow can only be considered a magic weapon, not a spiritual weapon for the time being.

At this critical moment, another spirit arrow suddenly flew through the air.

What the hell?

Qin Huai subtly twisted his sword, swiftly snapping the flying arrow in two.

too fast.

Under the dazzling pale yellow light, it was difficult to pinpoint the direction of the arrow. This inexplicable spirit arrow possessed a speed that even the Moon Arrow could not match.

"Ye Qiao." Shen Ziwei scanned the area with her divine sense and noticed who was shooting arrows. The girl held a crossbow, smiling brightly. A dozen arrows whistled through the air and aimed straight at Qin Huai.

Miao Miao instinctively drew her bow, but the arrow was shattered by a bright arrow as soon as it flew out.

The difference between spiritual artifacts and magical artifacts is too great, so they are completely useless.

Ye Qiao simulated the sound of firing, and a pale yellow light condensed. The arrow continued its trajectory without showing any sign of stopping. She curled her lips and said, "Hi. It's really lively here."

Qin Huai could dodge one or two, but after a dozen or so arrows, he could only passively take the hits. He was successfully enraged. He used his feet to lightly step on the arrows she shot, trying to get closer to her. However, the speed of the wind spirit root was extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, he was in front of her and slashed down with his sword.

Ye Qiao was amused by Qin Huai's aggressive fighting style. She prepared her crescent crossbow, aimed it at his face, and a bright, pale yellow arrow gathered before suddenly releasing. "Want to try and see if your sword is faster, or my arrow?"

Chu Ling instinctively covered her eyes.

That's fierce.

The arrow was shot too fast.

While both are archery-type magical weapons, the Moon Arrow and the Moon Arrow are quite different; at least the Moon Arrow doesn't have such a fast firing speed.

What Ye Qiao was holding was undoubtedly a magical artifact.

The arrow struck him hard in the chest and pierced his body, causing his knees to buckle slightly and he almost collapsed to the ground.

This spirit arrow...

It can make a person lose strength in a short period of time.

They weren't lacking in magical artifacts, but they'd never seen a disciple manage to acquire so many at once. Qin Huai pursed his lips. "Where did you get these magical artifacts from?"

Is it inside the Dragon Palace in the South China Sea?

"What does 'smooth' mean?" It's as if she stole it.

She obtained the Crescent Moon Crossbow from the Nascent Soul Trial.

Anyone who passes the Nascent Soul Trial with a perfect score can take away a spiritual weapon from the trial. If Ye Qinghan's trip goes smoothly, he will also be able to obtain a special spiritual weapon.

Moreover, according to the original novel, the magical artifact he obtained was also quite extraordinary.

Ye Qiao was quite satisfied with the effectiveness of the crescent crossbow.

Seeing the five people from Changming Sect, Miaomiao gently gripped her bow and arrow. "Should we retreat first?"

None of these five people can beat them for the time being.

Qin Huai didn't want to leave easily. He frowned, probably thinking of a bargaining chip. Using Su Zhuo as a shield, he threatened expressionlessly, "Song Hansheng, don't forget your junior brother is still in our hands. You don't stand much of a chance against us."

Unless Changming Sect intervenes, the fact that Changming Sect has been watching the show for so long indicates that, apart from Ye Qiao's impulsive act, others are not very willing to help.

Ye Qiao and Song Hansheng, each holding a bow and arrow, pointed at Qin Huai, but neither made a move.

She glanced at Song Hansheng and asked, "What should we do?"

Save people first? To be honest, Ye Qiao didn't want to help with this. She only took action because there should at least be some spirit of cooperation between the two sects.

"I understand." Song Hansheng looked at Su Zhuo, who was being held hostage, and his mind went blank for a moment. He calmed down and carried out his ruthlessness to the end: "Since things have already gotten this bad, then you might as well kill Su Zhuo."

"Ye Qiao." He gathered spiritual energy at his fingertips, the string suddenly tightened, and he said coldly, "Let's make our move."

Let's get rid of Su Zhuo first. Song Hansheng can't stand Qin Huai's smug attitude anymore.

He hasn't even gotten his way yet, so how dare Qin Huai be so smug!

Su Zhuo: "?"

Qin Huai was truly capable of using himself as a shield; if either of them dared to shoot arrows, he would be riddled with holes.

No, he can still be saved!! Senior Brother!

How did things develop to this point?

Chu Lingren was dumbfounded. She felt that her entire life story, even when combined, wasn't as chaotic as these few tens of minutes.

Neither Ye Qiao nor Song Hansheng cared about Su Zhuo's life or death; two streaks of pale yellow and goose-yellow spiritual energy were poised to be unleashed.

"Wait, wait, wait!!" Mingxuan had watched the show long enough and felt it necessary to step in. "Don't fight, don't fight, there's no need."

"I think things are already this chaotic, why don't we just play rock-paper-scissors to decide the winner?" He looked at Ye Qiao and Song Hansheng.

Alright, one holding a crescent arrow and the other a half-moon crossbow, they really have great teamwork.

"Rock-paper-scissors, what's that?" Upon hearing Mingxuan's suggestion, Chu Ling was momentarily stunned, thinking she had gone deaf.

Mingxuan shrugged lazily: "Rock-paper-scissors? Haven't you guys played it before?"

"Whoever wins will get the second major spiritual vein. Fighting back and forth is such a waste of time. It's getting dark, and who knows what we'll encounter on the way back."

Let's play a more exciting game of rock-paper-scissors.

Who gets the second spiritual vein is entirely up to fate.

If they continued playing like this, there would be too many factors to consider. Song Hansheng knew that Changming Sect had only intervened out of a spirit of cooperation, but they wouldn't interfere too much. Ye Qiao's help was already beyond his expectations. The young man said calmly, "Then let's play rock-paper-scissors."

This is a great way to quickly determine the winner.

Qin Huai: "..."

A few years ago, if someone suggested rock-paper-scissors halfway through a game, he would have thought it absurd and might have even slashed them. But now, Qin Huai only pondered for a moment. Seeing that they had all put down their weapons, the young man could only lower his sword and say, "Fine."

Clearly, there is only one reason why Qin Huai compromised.

He didn't want to fight the Changming Sect.

Seeing that Qin Huai had agreed, Su Zhuo breathed a sigh of relief. This was a victory he won effortlessly, all thanks to his awesome ally.

Miao Miao, Shen Ziwei, and Su Zhuo played rock-paper-scissors to determine their rankings.

Ye Qiao was confident that this was the fairest duel ever; no one else had been as fair as them this time.

One second the group was on the verge of exchanging blows, and the next second they all obediently put away their weapons and huddled together to watch the rock-paper-scissors game.

Chu Ling: "..." She was increasingly unable to understand the thought processes of the current cultivators.

During the rock-paper-scissors game, Su Zhuo, the unlucky guy, was the first to lose.

Miao Miao and Shen Ziwei played another round separately, and she lost.

Miaomiao was sullen.

Shen Ziwei gave her a friendly smile, which was met with a swift and merciless punch from the girl.

"Go to hell!!"

That despicable Shen Ziwei.

She threw a punch, and Shen Ziwei, being a weapon cultivator, had very poor reaction time and was hit squarely.

Shen Ziwei felt wronged and angry: "Why are the female cultivators from the Biyue Sect hitting people?"

Upon seeing the result, Qin Huai's mood instantly brightened. He casually comforted the other party, saying, "The Azure Water Sect is full of precious alchemists, so just bear with it."

Dan Xiu is always fawned over wherever he goes, so it's understandable that he might punch someone if he's unhappy.

Shen Ziwei: "???"

"Oh, what bad luck, Su Zhuo." Ye Qiao turned around and mocked with a smile when she saw the result.

Su Zhuo: "..."

Faced with his senior brother's death stare, he felt even more like crying but had no tears left.

This rock-paper-scissors game is worse than a fight. At least if he lost, it wouldn't be his problem. Now, not only has he lost, but he also has to endure Song Hansheng's cruel mockery.

Si Miaoyan was slightly taken aback when she heard that they had obtained the third major spiritual vein. Then, as she passed Su Zhuo, she chuckled twice, "Your luck is as bad as ever."

After determining the ownership of the spiritual vein, the only remaining issue was how to travel back and forth. Chu Ling was finally able to find some sense of presence again; heaven knows what she had been through.

"I'll take you to Penglai. I heard you're here to find spiritual plants? Or perhaps for some other opportunity?" Her tone was much kinder. "I don't know much about that. Maybe when my senior brother returns tomorrow, he can take you there."

Chu Ling knew far less about Penglai than her senior brother, after all, her senior brother was the future heir of Penglai.

Mu Chongxi struck up a conversation with her warmly: "Is he the other personal disciple who had to leave the island for some business and couldn't come?"

"Yes." Chu Ling moved away from him without showing any emotion. She wasn't interested in this kind of bright young man. When talking about her senior brother, she became more talkative: "My senior brother's cultivation level should be similar to your chief disciple's, the peak of the Nascent Soul stage. We Penglai disciples are mainly engaged in divination and fortune-telling."

She said with a hint of pride, "And my senior brother cultivates the Path of All Living Beings."

"???"

Holy crap?
