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

Hmm.

What a grand scene!

Ye Qiao had experienced the pressure of a Nascent Soul cultivator firmly pressing her to the ground. She was fortunate enough to be at the Nascent Soul stage. If Yun Hen were truly at the Tribulation Transcending or Void Refining stage, he would not only be forced to kneel, but would probably be crushed on the spot.

With a single move, she transformed into a divine aura, perfectly intimidating the group.

Why do we have to fight and kill each other?

A problem that can be solved with a single act of intimidation.

Those who were pressed to the ground by her intimidating power all fell silent in fear.

They finally understood why the Left Protector had gone to deal with Ye Qiao alone.

The man, forced to the ground by the pressure, had his face pressed hard against the earth, his features contorted in pain.

He clenched his teeth slightly.

...This level of lethality is such that even those two deadly weapons couldn't kill someone in one move.

Her cultivation level is definitely at the Nascent Soul stage.

Ye Qiao's mere aura was enough to pin a group of demons to the ground, truly proving the saying: those below the Nascent Soul stage are all ants.

"Do it." Seeing that they were all frozen and unresponsive, Ye Qiao raised her voice and shouted, "Hurry up." At most, she could hold them down; she couldn't possibly kill them with a wave of her hand.

The artifact cultivators rummaged through their storage pouches, triggering the binding magic artifacts. All the demons present were captured alive. Several blinding white sword lights flashed past, and before they even had a chance to scream, they all collapsed to the ground.

Having learned from her previous experience, Ye Qiao covered her ears before they questioned her, and as she was repeatedly pressed for answers, she selectively began to play dead.

"You are a deity incarnate."

"Was that Nascent Soul cultivator you?"

"So your Yueqing Sect received the news beforehand, right?" Simiaoyan seemed to have figured something out, and gave a short, cold laugh to the person opposite her.

They weren't unaware that Song Hansheng had been frequently visiting Changming Sect recently, and they thought there was something going on between the two. Now that they thought about it, there was no such thing as something going on; it was simply Song Hansheng being overly attentive to Song Hansheng.

Miao Miao's focus was a bit off: "Ugh, that damn Song Hansheng!! He was being so attentive without even telling us."

"..."

Shen Ziwei vaguely understood, staring intently at her, "So, you reached the Nascent Soul stage a month ago, right?"

The commotion was so great that almost everyone in the cultivation world saw it and was discussing who it was. Just then, Changming Sect suddenly closed its doors to visitors, keeping the whole thing a complete secret. They had guessed that Changming Sect was trying to hide something.

As expected, they were indeed keeping information about that Nascent Soul cultivator from the cultivation world.

"To be honest, it's really hard to imagine that your result of the Nascent Soul Trial is something that only came out after thirty days." Shen Ziwei's lips twitched, and she said in a low voice, "It's really hard to imagine that this is your result of the Nascent Soul Trial."

If Ye Qiao had broken through the trial in a day, their first reaction would have been to think it was normal. But this thirty days was far beyond their expectations.

Mingxuan was equally astonished: "Who do you think it is?"

If it's neither Ye Qiao nor Ye Qinghan, then who else could it be? These two are the most likely candidates to reach the Nascent Soul stage in the cultivation world.

"We're guessing which old man, hundreds of years old, broke through," Miao Miao said quietly. "After all, thirty days is unprecedented in the cultivation world."

Who would have thought it was Ye Qiao?

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Duan Hengdao firmly reached out and grabbed her, shamelessly pulling her in front of him. "Come on, come on, let's take a picture together, Ye Qiao."

Ye Qiao casually made a peace sign.

"Alright, these are for my grandsons to show off later." Duan Hengdao waved his hand to indicate that he was done taking pictures.

Their cultivation world hasn't produced a Nascent Soul cultivator in a hundred years.

This is a golden opportunity that won't come again. That's a Nascent Soul stage cultivator at eighteen.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he's the best in the cultivation world.

Amidst the chaos and the faint shouts of unknown individuals, Qin Huai remained remarkably calm. He tilted his head slightly and said in a cool tone, "Your Changming Sect is truly insidious."

He never revealed a single word about being a Nascent Soul cultivator, leading outsiders to mistakenly believe that the Five Sects had never produced a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Changming Sect's move greatly protected Ye Qiao. After all, Ye Qinghan was enough as a live target in the cultivation world, and there was no need for another disciple to attract fire.

"You're all considered one of the five great sects, so being ranked alongside us shows you're no better than us," Zhou Xingyun said in a cool tone, exchanging glances with Qin Huai. Finally, they both let out a cold snort.

Yue Qing'an didn't want to get involved in their argument.

He silently manipulated the six lines of the divination chart, saying, "Please invite us out..."

After a pause, Yue Qing'an, remembering the demons who had been subdued by a single aura, quickly changed his tune, driven by a strong survival instinct: "You called us out to deduce the location of that Yun Que, right?"

"I can roughly pinpoint her location. The rest is up to you. Are you confident you can kill her?"

When Song Hansheng gave Yun Que his birth date and information, he vaguely realized that Yun Que was extraordinary.

She possesses a very strong aura of luck. Killing her won't be that easy.

Ye Qiao raised an eyebrow slightly: "My martial uncle said there's no problem." She felt that Yun Que was, after all, the female lead in a novel, and it wouldn't be so easy to get rid of her.

But over such a long time, they had become accustomed to following Xie Chuxue's instructions.

Yue Qing'an chuckled softly, his tone much more subdued. He hadn't had much interaction with Ye Qiao, but just from the fact that she punched him twice without warning, he knew she was definitely not a good-tempered person. He could still take advantage of her cultivation level in the early Nascent Soul stage, but he really didn't dare to even think about becoming a Divine Transformation cultivator.

He couldn't help but touch his arm, feeling incredulous that she hadn't broken his bones.

So she did hold back that day after all.

Yue Qing'an felt a strange sense of gratitude for her not killing him, and spoke more earnestly, "Yes, what your uncle said is not wrong." In the cultivation world, those at the Nascent Soul stage can indeed do whatever they want.

"Let's deal with the Cloud Magpie problem first."

They weren't in a hurry to return to their sect. Five members of the Sword Inquiry Sect remained in the sect. With the Sword Inquiry Sect guarding the area, it would be safer for the rest of them to go with Ye Qiao to capture Yun Que.

"Did Junior Uncle tell you anything else?" Xue Yu asked in surprise. Junior Uncle really liked chatting with Ye Qiao. Not only Junior Uncle, but Qin Fanfan and Elder Duan did too. If Ye Qiao didn't reveal a lot of information to them, they would really be clueless.

Ye Qiao replied casually, "Xie Chuxue also said that Yun Que is not important, and that he deliberately let her out. His main purpose was to find the person behind her."

After a long pause, Chu Ling dared to interject, murmuring, "You mean, Yun Que has someone secretly guiding her behind the scenes?"

Upon hearing this inside information, the disciples of the other three sects also silently pricked up their ears. They knew that Yun Que's reputation had reached the point where everyone hated her. There would have been no problem handing her over to the Changming Sect to imprison her for half a year. But at this critical moment, she had escaped. Although they didn't say it outright, they all felt extremely strange in their hearts. After all, this was not a mistake that the Changming Sect would make.

It turns out they were all using magpies to fish.

These people have truly filthy hearts.

Xue Yu responded, "I know a little about her. Yun Que is actually... both stupid and vicious? Although it may be impolite, I still want to say that it's hard to imagine someone with her brains thinking of connecting the demon and monster races. In other words, she was just being used."

Yue Qing'an could tell that they all disliked Yun Que. He said quietly, "I see you all want to kill Yun Que, but have you considered whether you can defeat the person behind Yun Que who is helping him?"

"The people behind Yun Que may not necessarily help her." Song Hansheng gave what he thought was the most accurate assessment: "After all, it's rare to see someone so refreshingly stupid." If Yun Que has no other value, she will only end up being abandoned.

If Yun Que were here, she would probably be driven mad by Song Hansheng again.

During the chat, the clear blue sky above changed color. Ye Qiao was already familiar with this kind of change. She narrowed her eyes and said, "It seems to be another tribulation of the Nascent Soul stage."

The Nascent Soul stage doesn't make such a big commotion; it's as vast as if the entire sky were covered.

So, the first one is Ye Qiao, and the second one is a Nascent Soul cultivator...

They exchanged a brief glance, and then uttered three words: "Ye Qinghan."

As expected of him.

The reason why the Sword Inquiry Sect has been so arrogant for so many years is definitely inseparable from Ye Qinghan's extraordinary talent.

"Guess how long Ye Qinghan's trial will last?"

Ye Qiao felt there was nothing to guess, "At the latest, half a month."

Mu Chongxi scratched his head. "We need to hurry. His trial will take at least seven days."

"I have a feeling they're deliberately waiting for Ye Qinghan to undergo his trial???"

This premonition is still very strong.

Ye Qinghan's trial lasts from seven days to half a month, during which they can do a lot of things.

"If possible, we can deal with Yun Que first and let Ye Qiao return to the sect as soon as possible to stabilize morale." After all, the sect still needs someone who can uphold its reputation.

"But the situation now is, how can we live without you, Ye Qiao—" Duan Hengdao finished speaking and started howling at the top of his lungs.
