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

Su Zhuoqing couldn't help but tremble slightly. "My talisman has returned to me." Fortunately, the talisman he threw away wasn't very powerful, and its return didn't cause any damage.

What kind of ghost story is unfolding here?

Reminded by the two, they all became alert to their surroundings, fearing that they might lose their lives by accidentally throwing something out of their hands.

"We're actually alright. At most, they're just some weak little things. The problem is Ye Qiao—" Shen Ziwei gently shook the silver dart in her hand, "You've activated your domain."

She used her domain to bind Yun Que.

If this godforsaken place is truly targeting them, and everything they throw out is returned, then Ye Qiao will be the only one who suffers.

"The attack we just launched will, without a doubt, bounce back back onto us in a little while."

Their methods were relatively mild, but Ye Qiao's were a different story; she had opened up her domain.

"Is it possible that the strange sounds we heard as we entered the forest were our own voices?"

Ye Qiao realized what was happening and immediately threw them all out of her domain. She knew her domain was safe; it wouldn't attack her, but it would attack others.

No wonder Yun Que played a chase game with them at first. It turns out that their goal from beginning to end was to force Ye Qiao to open her domain, and then achieve the stupid ending of being trapped in her own domain?

……

Ye Qiao threw them all out in one go, and as she left, she haphazardly shoved the crescent crossbow into Ming Xuan's hand: "Perhaps you can use it."

The Spirit Sword is no longer viable, and the Tower is difficult to control; the Crescent Crossbow is easier to master.

Qin Huai was so angry he wanted to kick over this lousy place: "I've been tricked."

"Let's go back first."

It's certain that Ye Qiao is out of danger. She's trapped in her own domain, and the domain won't harm her. Getting Ye Qiao out will depend on the elders.

Qin Huai's suggestion was accepted by everyone.

They went to Changming Sect first, intending to ask the sect's elders and senior uncles how to rescue people in this situation.

Riding on the demonic beasts they had hijacked along the way, the group overtook various vehicles and finally arrived at Changming Sect. Mingxuan shouted twice as if he had seen a savior: "Holy crap! Holy crap! Junior Uncle!!"

Xie Chuxue noticed them too, his eyes turning slightly cold, but it wasn't directed at them. He swayed slightly, landing behind Mingxuan and pressing his head down, signaling him to lower his head.

With the talisman in her hand, her usually beautiful eyes lost their smile.

The moment the talisman was torn open, countless shadows cleared a path, falling to the ground and densely blocking their way. Xie Chuxue grabbed Mingxuan and simply gave him one word: "Go."

Their long-standing teamwork created a tacit understanding that caused them to scatter the moment Xie Chuxue spoke, leaving only a charred crater in the ground.

After a long silence, the group, who had narrowly escaped being blown up, asked tentatively, "What happened? Is our sect surrounded?"

Xie Chuxue couldn't help but chuckle: "It's not that serious, but you should know that the Yueqing Sect has had demonic cultivators before. It's not surprising that our sect has traitors. We were just about to capture them for interrogation, and your timing is rather unfortunate."

They happened to be chasing someone.

"Where's Xiao Qiao?" There were many elders in the Changming Sect, so Xie Chuxue didn't need to intervene. He glanced at them a few times. "Was she captured? Or is she imprisoned?"

"I'm trapped," Mingxuan answered honestly.

Ye Qiao's skill level is so high that no one can really do anything to her.

"My junior sister said she was cut in two; she killed one half, and the other half is missing."

"I sent Xiao Qiao." Xie Chuxue stroked his chin. For them, the troublesome thing was not the demons, but the unpredictable Yun Que. "Now it seems that Yun Que has also undergone mitosis with that person's help?" He learned this new term from Ye Qiao.

"Her soul was split into two parts, one used to lure Ye Qiao, and the other used to dig out Ye Qinghan's spiritual root." Xie Chuxue wanted to laugh a little. In a sense, Yun Que was also thoroughly exploited.

"???ah?"

"Ye Qinghan?"

"Spiritual root?"

Amidst the screams and exclamations, Xie Chuxue, who was usually loud and boisterous, remained remarkably calm.

"Except for Ye Qiao and Wenjian Sect, are you all here?" He glanced around briefly. "Follow your elders to retreat."

Mingxuan mustered his courage and asked, "Junior Uncle, what about Master and the others?" They weren't too concerned about Ye Qinghan for the time being, but they had to get their junior sister out of trouble.

"They have business to attend to; we're preparing to go to a banquet in the Demon Realm." Xie Chuxue patted their heads, lowered her head slightly, and became more serious than ever before: "Follow the elders and retreat first, and hide well. I hope that what you learn during this experience won't just be impulsiveness and suicide."

His eyes suddenly welled up with tears. Actually, Xie Chuxue spoke quite humanly when she spoke: "Okay, if you're gone, we'll go to your grave next year to clear the weeds."

It was called a banquet, but it was definitely a trap. However, Qin Fanfan and the others had no reason to refuse. At the very least, they had to ensure the safe evacuation of the other disciples before they could break off relations with them.

When the Demon Emperor of the Demon Clan personally came to invite her, Qin Fanfan smiled and readily agreed: "Okay, but you have to guarantee that Ye Qinghan and the others will be safe and sound."

"Of course." The other person chuckled. Others might be fine, but Ye Qinghan was another story.

They could not allow a Nascent Soul cultivator to grow up unchecked.

"What can a group of Nascent Soul cultivators do? If they were at the Deity Transformation level, I would probably have to be wary of them."

The only thing giving him a headache right now is how to get rid of Ye Qinghan.

Yun Que's escape removed his only source of worry.

During the negotiation between the two, Xie Chuxue also watched for a while. Afterwards, he knew that Ye Qinghan was probably in trouble. What puzzled him was that Ye Qinghan was the chosen one of destiny. Where did they get the courage to attack him?

After hearing that Yun Que's soul had been torn in two, Xie Chuxue understood.

Wow, so it's about preparing to use magic to defeat magic.

He had indeed miscalculated. The other party was more capable of hiding than he had imagined, even going so far as to split Yun Que's soul into two parts: one to attract Ye Qiao's attention, and the other to deal with Ye Qinghan.

The other party was hidden so well that it was impossible to catch them.

……

"Over there..." he murmured softly, "What happened?"

Ye Qinghan was referring to the deafening explosion.

They are currently preoccupied with their own problems, and everyone hopes that he can get there. However, since leaving the secret realm, his cultivation level has already reached the Nascent Soul stage. Ye Qinghan can only suppress his near-breakthrough level and follow orders to descend the mountain.

Without a doubt, they were fooled.

The so-called deaths caused by evil cultivators were nothing more than the demons using some methods to lure him there.

The five of them were surrounded at the same time. Chu Xingzhi wanted to curse, and then he cursed out loud: "You son of a bitch, you demons, you're all dead when your grandpa comes out."

During his fight with them, Ye Qinghan's cultivation level suddenly weakened. He gritted his teeth, knowing that if his tribulation was interfered with, he could easily suffer a cultivation deviation. Ye Qinghan could only suppress his cultivation level continuously.

They were faced with only two choices: either fight their way out or break through to the demonic realm on the spot.

Ye Qinghan couldn't even make any big movements that would cause spiritual energy to surge in.

Zhu You was the youngest among them. The two twins cooperated too well, making her the easiest to break through. The moment the Luoshui Sword slipped from her hand, the spirit sword fell into the hands of a demon. His narrow eyes narrowed maliciously, and then he smiled.

He wanted to provoke Ye Qinghan into becoming a demon.

Isn't it interesting to have the number one righteous person fall into demonic possession?

The main problem is that his emotions fluctuate so intensely that he stubbornly suppresses his cultivation level and refuses to break through, which can easily cause his spiritual energy to become disordered and lead to demonic possession.

Under the watchful eyes of the five Sword Inquiry Sect members, the man deftly broke the Luo River in two and tossed it to the ground piece by piece.

A sword spirit that hasn't taken physical form is useless.

The spirit sword was broken on the spot, and Zhu You vomited bright red blood. Her face turned pale due to the backlash. Xia Qing and Zuo Yi both protected their junior sister behind them.

"Two swords, and that kid's spirit sword is quite interesting." He pointed to Chu Xingzhi's Cun Xue.

Chu Xingzhi gripped the sword in his hand tightly.

"Yun Que." One of them tilted his head impatiently and urged, "Let's do it. Dig out his spiritual root, and the master will be satisfied with you."

Ye Qinghan's eyes were filled with murderous intent. Provoked by them, his pupils trembled slightly with extreme anger. He spoke each word fiercely, as if he wanted to pounce on her and tear her to pieces, "I'll kill you all sooner or later."

Yun Que was slightly stung by his gaze.

She gently gripped the dagger and approached him step by step. "I'm sorry."
