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

Yun Que conjured a spirit sword in her hand, holding it against her chest. Her eyes burned with fury, and she said, word by word, "Ye... Qiao."

Ye Qiao noticed the spirit sword in her hand.

The sword was surrounded by orange-yellow light spots; it was another spirit sword.

Ordinary people obtain their swords through their own inheritance or from the Sword Cave of the Sword Inquiry Sect, but Yun Que's special methods are always varied.

The Right Protector narrowed his eyes, preparing to see what abilities Yun Que, as a woman of destiny, truly possessed.

Ye Qinghan's tribulation would last anywhere from seven to more than ten days. They weren't in a hurry at all.

The cultivators should be the ones who are anxious from beginning to end. In this isolated and helpless situation, do they really think they can fight against the demons? It's more realistic to dream about it.

Ye Qiao easily dodged the attack bursting from the tip of Yun Que's sword.

Although Yun Que had left the Yueqing Sect, the sword style she used was still the Yueqing Sect's sword technique, steady yet fast. When she unleashed her attack, Ye Qiao only slightly turned her head to dodge it.

Yun Que claims to be a sword cultivator, but in reality, he's only a half-baked one.

Let alone the Nascent Soul stage, even a disciple of a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator would only have to exert a little effort to defeat her.

Ye Qiao was too lazy to fight her. She drew her Frost Sword and circled around Yun Que, sizing her up as she pondered how to deal with this troublesome woman. Several attempts to attack failed. This made her realize that the woman of destiny was not someone she could kill at will.

After Ye Qiao attempted to unleash several Qingfeng Techniques, all of which were dodged by her in various unbelievable ways, Ye Qiao understood the truth of the matter.

"You can't kill me." Yun Que gradually became smug, glaring at her, finding a rare sense of superiority in Ye Qiao.

Ye Qiao smiled: "Quite confident."

That's true.

To be honest, if I could kill Xie Chuxue, I would have done it already.

The reason he hadn't made a move was because he wanted to wait for the Heavenly Dao to completely transfer its fortune to him.

Otherwise, if Yun Que dies, the cultivation world will be thrown into turmoil.

The two hadn't seen each other for half a year. Upon meeting, they exchanged several deadly attacks as a greeting. Yun Que managed to dodge them by luck, but she was still shocked by Ye Qiao's merciless swordsmanship.

She didn't know what Ye Qiao's abilities were.

Ye Qiao clearly had no intention of using it, and this nonchalant attitude made Yun Que feel insulted.

With a slash of his orange-yellow spirit sword toward her neck, Ye Qiao slightly raised her eyes and unleashed a divine pressure upon her. In an instant, the girl collapsed to the ground. Ye Qiao immediately raised her hand to stab her, and the next second, under the watchful gaze of the Right Protector, she feinted a thrust and aimed directly at him.

Compared to Yun Que, everyone present was more concerned about this Nascent Soul stage demonic cultivator. To stabilize their emotions, Ye Qiao had to restrain the Right Protector. No matter how much trouble Yun Que caused, he was still just a Golden Core stage cultivator with a gathering of Nascent Soul cultivators present, someone who could be easily slapped to the ground. The biggest threat was still the Nascent Soul stage Right Protector.

The Right Protector was prepared.

The two exchanged blows, the overwhelming pressure of the Nascent Soul stage completely ignoring the cloud magpie in between. Not to mention the Golden Core stage, even the Nascent Soul stage would not be able to withstand the merciless spiritual pressure and the airflow created by the collision of sword energy between the two Nascent Soul stage cultivators.

It can almost turn those with low cultivation levels into minced meat.

Facing the battle between two Nascent Soul cultivators, the fear made Yun Que, who was not very brave to begin with, tremble and scream. Her bones, crushed by the air currents, made a creaking sound. In the end, the Right Protector could not bear her screams and kicked her away. Yun Que immediately scrambled away from the storm in the middle.

Ye Qiao turned her head and sympathized with her for two seconds.

As long as Yun Que doesn't cause trouble, he has more human rights on the righteous path than on the evil path.

Even if Song Hansheng and the others dislike her, they will still protect her to some extent out of consideration for their fellow disciples, instead of discarding her after using her.

The reason the right protector is more troublesome than the left protector is that he has brains.

Both were at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, but Ye Qiao's physical skills were far superior to his. The only advantage he had in fighting Ye Qiao was his experience and rich combat experience, but this advantage vanished under Mu Li's guidance, and Ye Qiao was always able to find his weaknesses.

Ye Qiao's cunning swordsmanship, with one sword strike after another, suppressed him to the point that he couldn't even draw his sword.

After several exchanges, he decisively retreated when he couldn't defeat him. He didn't linger in battle at all.

Ye Qiao raised an eyebrow as she watched him disappear into the demon horde, and had no choice but to change her target.

Three sword spirits flew out of the sword. Ye Qiao gestured for the Flying Immortal Sword and the Unseen Lord to go play by themselves, while the Frost Sword entered the arena with her.

The number of demons is truly astonishing, and at least half of them are at the Nascent Soul stage.

Frost followed closely behind Ye Qiao. The various sword spirits were quite annoying on the battlefield; they could only be scattered, not eliminated.

The little girl in blue lightly touched the ground with her fingertips, and in an instant, sharp ice shards rose from the flat ground, their tendency to break through the ground and form a cage caused the demons to scatter in panic.

The KFC chicken, flying in mid-air, seized the opportunity to engulf the chicken in flames, creating a sensation of extreme heat and cold that was worse than death.

As the Frost Sword moved to one side, countless ice crystals shattered, and ice froze wildly beneath their feet. Before they could even struggle, Ye Qiao shattered the ice beneath their feet with a single sword strike.

Those elusive sword spirits can ambush you with deadly accuracy.

There are currently six sword spirits on the field.

Of the six sword spirits, only Frost and Dawn Sword were relatively easy to catch; Water Breaker and Dust Breaker were like slippery eels.

They didn't linger in the fight; after their sneak attack, they hid back in their sword sheaths. It's easy to guess who they learned their cunning and mischievous ways from.

Seeing that they couldn't catch Duan Shui and Duan Chen, and that Chao Xi and Han Shuang were too lethal, their expressions darkened. "Can we catch those two sword spirits, the one in black and the one in white?"

If you catch it and break it apart, the sword spirit will disappear temporarily for a period of time.

These sword spirits were like troublemakers on the battlefield, disgusting the demons to no end.

Upon hearing that someone wanted to capture the Flying Immortal Sword and the Vanished Lord, one man asked incredulously, "You want to race against light and shadow?"

Who the hell can compare to this?

Leaving aside the white flying immortal sword, its damage to demonic cultivators is clearly visible. What's strange is that the Unseen Monarch, whose presence causes a suppressed tremor in their souls when it gets close.

After ambushing the sword spirits, they ran off in an orderly fashion without looking back.

They were left only to watch in fury as their fellow tribesmen perished.

Ye Qiao and the Right Protector restrained each other, both at the Nascent Soul stage, neither willing to make a rash move. The four members of the Sword Inquiry Sect stayed behind to guard Ye Qinghan together with the Ye family disciples.

Zhu You picked out a handy Xuan sword to use temporarily, and one of the demonic cultivators seized the opportunity and suddenly swept over with a whip with sharp spikes hanging upside down.

Completely restrained by the whips, Zhu You used her skill to break free of the whips, grabbed half of the whip, ignored her bloodied palms, and stabbed them both through the heart with her sword.

Xia Qingling swiftly cleared a section of the area for Zhu You with her sword. Seeing the girl's bleeding hand, she pursed her lips slightly. "What happened?"

"The Xuan Sword wasn't long enough; it was whipped," Zhu You replied softly. The difference between the Xuan Sword and the Spirit Sword was too great. Once the Xuan Sword in her hand was entangled, the demonic cultivator could easily grab it and pull it back. Even recalling it was impossible.

"Why don't we have Ye Qinghan throw the Broken Water Sword at you and see?" Ye Qiao, who was not far from them, was eager to try. "Aren't love swords and spirit swords supposed to be interconnected?"

In other words, the spirit swords between sword masters can be exchanged.

Zhu You looked up in a daze: "Senior Brother's sword?"

"Yes." Ye Qiao stepped on her spirit sword and flew into the air: "I'll help you snatch Duan Shui."

Zhu You: "..."

Ye Qiao was a woman of action. Ignoring the rolling thunder around her, she flew straight towards Ye Qinghan in the center of the tribulation on her flying sword. She dared to approach the tribulation that others dared not approach. "Let's be reasonable, Ye Qinghan."

She silently stood beside him, ignoring the purple lightning flashing in the sky, and said calmly, "I think our relationship is pretty good, right?"

Ye Qinghan was slightly taken aback, looking at her with a puzzled expression: "What do you want?"

The two did have a decent relationship, but only when there was no conflict of interest.

Reasoning?

When Ye Qiao tricks him, she never reasons.

"The Water-Severing Sword," Ye Qiao said.

Ye Qinghan didn't ask her what she wanted to do, and handed the spirit sword to her.

Below, the direct descendants of the Ye family gasped; no one understood the significance of a spirit sword better than a sword cultivator.

A sword is more important than one's lifeblood. Not to mention a fellow disciple, even a brother wouldn't easily entrust his spirit sword to her. Yet he gave it to Ye Qiao so easily?

"If they keep doing this, I'm going to spread rumors."

In the cultivation world, it is truly rare to find someone who can entrust their spiritual sword with such trust.

Ye Qiao grasped the Broken Water, and in an instant, a refreshing coolness spread throughout her body. Among water-attribute elements, Broken Water was the most powerful, and it was indeed quite cold.

"How about you temper my sword under the lightning tribulation?" She brandished the Jinghong Sword in her hand, not forgetting to be smug after getting the benefit, and began to push her luck further.

Ye Qiao once used the Jinghong Sword as a lightning rod to temper the sword during the Nascent Soul Tribulation, which lasted for more than ten days.

One attempt at Nascent Soul, another at Deity Transformation, yet the Jinghong Sword remained completely still.

Ye Qinghan was, after all, a chosen one, and sometimes his luck even surpassed that of Yun Que. Ye Qiao wanted to see if the Jinghong Sword could have any good fortune in his hands.

"Okay." Ye Qinghan appreciated her help and extended his hand to her.

Ye Qiao immediately handed the Jinghong Sword to him.

"???"

"Holy crap, Ye Qiao gave her sword to Ye Qinghan?"

"Alright, alright, so it turns out that not only does Ye Qinghan trust Ye Qiao, but Ye Qiao also trusts Ye Qinghan quite a bit. I don't believe it if you say that our future family head has no relationship with Ye Qiao."

"Am I the only one curious about how many swords Ye Qiao has? Did this guy really raid the Sword Cave?"

Three spirit swords, each with its own manifested sword spirit. Sword cultivators all understand what the existence of sword spirits means; they have never seen anyone possess three at once.

The boy gripped the sword hilt tightly, and at the moment the lightning struck, he lightly swept the pale purple sword energy, crackling with electricity, to resist the lightning tribulation. It was more effective than the Water-Severing Sword.

This scene looks quite strange at first glance.

One day, Ye Qinghan will hold Ye Qiao's spirit sword.

When the two looked at each other, there was an unspoken understanding between them.

Ye Qiao tossed the Broken Water Sword to Zhu You.

Both swords were crafted by the same cultivator, and both possessed water-attribute spiritual roots and were spiritual swords. Duan Shui did not reject her approach.

Zhu You caught the spirit sword precisely and, before the demons could act, controlled the broken water and poured in sword energy. The water flowed under the sword and transformed into a deadly weapon. The light blue sword energy condensed and took shape, and a water snake swooped down with its blood-red maw open. The domineering sword energy twisted off their heads in an instant, turning them into a pool of blood.

Duan Shui and Luo Shui both originated from the same weapon crafting and forging materials, creating a certain attraction between the spirit swords. Zhu You has a good learning ability and picked it up without any hesitation.

The demonic cultivators, who had originally intended to pick on the weakest of the four, exchanged glances for a moment, and their attacks gradually slowed down. Zhu You was the easiest to deal with among the four, but this female cultivator was not as weak as they had imagined. Before she had her spirit sword, she could counter any move she made, but now that she had it, they would have to think twice before trying to touch her.

……

With Zhu You's situation alleviated, Chu Xingzhi finally felt relieved and focused on dealing with the dozen or so Nascent Soul stage demonic cultivators in front of him. He pursed his lips and gripped the Cun Xue sword tightly.

Upon seeing that it was Chu Xingzhi, one of the demonic cultivators who recognized him from several encounters couldn't help but shout, "Get out of the way, Chu Xingzhi, or don't blame us for taking action."

"Our only target this time is Ye Qinghan. Hand him over, and you won't have to suffer so much unnecessary hardship."

Without hesitation, Chu Xingzhi said, "No."

Seeing that reasoning with him was ineffective, the other party sneered: "If this Nascent Soul Tribulation is disrupted, do you think Ye Qinghan will succumb to demonic possession along with us?"

If the number one righteous path member were to fall into demonic possession, he would be eagerly anticipating the reactions from the righteous path.

It's going to be amazing.

Chu Xingzhi: "You actually cursed my senior brother???"

"Just stating the facts." His lips curled into a slightly cold smile.

The boy shouted angrily, "You're talking nonsense! I'll protect my senior brother's smile!"

Chu Xingzhi's loud, childish declaration nearly made the others fall to the ground.

What an idiot!

Chu Xingzhi drew his sword, and a bright sword light shone down from the snow-covered ground. He took the lead and rushed to the front. He unleashed three fierce sword moves from the Sword Inquiry Sect, forcing the demons in front of him to retreat step by step.

Chu Xingzhi's cultivation level was at the late Nascent Soul stage. A dozen or so demons could wear him down in a war of attrition. They would entangle Chu Xingzhi like a kite, intending to wear him down before eliminating him effortlessly.

At first, he was in control, but after three days, the pills were completely used up, and Chu Xingzhi's chest was pierced. He narrowly escaped being attacked in his vital points, but he was completely unable to defend himself.

He rolled awkwardly on the ground, and when his spiritual energy and physical strength were exhausted, he couldn't even stand up.

Ye Qiao slammed a defensive talisman in front of Chu Xingzhi, creating a barrier.

With a backhand sword strike, she briefly cleared the space. With Ye Qiao around, the now-smart demonic cultivators didn't linger in battle at all; they dodged her like mice seeing a cat.

Ye Qiao was calculating when Ye Qinghan would come out.

She was able to control the situation, at least preventing it from becoming a one-sided massacre by the demons. The demons were wary of her, and Ye Qiao was also thinking about how to wipe them out in one fell swoop as quickly as possible.

"Try your best," Ye Qiao said simply. "Think about your senior brother behind you."

She knew how to provoke Chu Xingzhi. Chu Xingzhi, who had been knocked down by more than a dozen people and whose spiritual energy was exhausted, actually got up again. The dried bloodstains on his forehead made his face look particularly pale.

Several demons who had been quietly withdrawing saw Chu Xingzhi fall and tried to approach Ye Qinghan, who was still within the Ye family's central protection zone.

Chu Xingzhi seemed to have been injected with chicken blood in an instant. He rushed forward with a burst of energy. His face was flushed with anxiety. He grabbed Cun Xue tightly. In an instant, Wuxing's sword energy formed a vortex and gathered. The weapons that the demonic cultivators tacitly slashed at him broke inch by inch at the boy's fingertips.

The domineering sword energy of Wenxin Dao swept away all those who came near him.

The depleted spiritual energy was replenished at this moment.

"This aura...?" They were all too familiar with it.

"Who broke through to the next realm?" Mu Chongxi paused in his sword-wielding motion. "Chu Xingzhi??"

After breaking through the realm, the spiritual energy that had reached the bottleneck would surge in again, and it would be no problem to fill the spiritual energy in a few seconds. Chu Xingzhi couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips.

Cun Xue's power was exceptionally dazzling, and he unleashed another devastating strike that swept away the approaching demonic cultivators.

That was the Way of the Heart, a bright sword light.

Mu Chongxi caught a glimpse of that intense sword light and admitted that his eyes were almost blinded by it. If he remembered correctly, this was Chu Xingzhi's second enlightenment.

It directly approaches the peak of the Nascent Soul stage.

It's poisonous.

Why is it that they need to cultivate to break through their cultivation realm, while he only needs Ye Qinghan to break through?

Mu Chongxi puffed out her cheeks, jumping up and down with jealousy: "What's so great about Ye Qinghan? You might as well admire me instead of him."

Both he and Ye Qinghan were born with sword-wielding talents, but Chu Xingzhi's eyes practically lit up the moment he saw Ye Qinghan. Was it really necessary?!

"You certainly don't understand the power of idols." Ye Qiao glanced back and raised her eyebrows slightly.

Although she had no interest in Ye Qinghan, she had to admit it.

The very existence of a young person is dazzling enough.

When Chu Xingzhi looked at the other person...

There is light in his eyes.

This sense of conviction was something none of the sword cultivators present had ever experienced.
