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

……

The sword light was sharp and possessed a destructive power that could destroy the world. The snow-white sword light left a bright mark as countless spiritual swords gathered in the boy's raised hand.

The effect was nothing short of a magnificent spectacle.

Countless spiritual swords converged at the tip of the sword, a sword intent unique to Ye Qinghan.

The spirit sword emitted a series of resonant sounds, and Ye Qiao looked at the spirit sword in her hand; almost all of it was trembling uncontrollably.

The young man in white leaned back slightly, and a fierce sword flashed, gathering tens of thousands of sword shadows. His dark eyes were filled with coldness. With each swing of his sword, the area below was pierced by countless sword shadows, and was cleared away at a visible speed.

The Ye family head below couldn't help but murmur, "Ten Thousand Swords Return to Their Origin..."

He recognized it; it was a sword technique from the Nascent Soul stage of the Sword Inquiry Sect.

"What is that?" Many of the Ye family's direct descendants, who had never seen the world, were completely stunned by this scene. Their black swords flashed through the air and they all surged into the sky.

Some people tried to recall their swords, but their natal swords simply wouldn't obey their commands.

"All swords return to their origin".

"That's our Sword Inquiry Sect's—" Chu Xingzhi knelt down, stopping the attack, and proudly raised the corners of his lips: "Quasi-Divine Transformation Sword Technique."

"The Return of Ten Thousand Swords to the Origin, a Heavenly Grade Sword Technique, requires the Nascent Soul stage to evolve."

Ye Qinghan, who was still in the Nascent Soul stage at the time, couldn't use it. At the critical moment, it was Ye Qiao who helped him complete the last move of the sword technique.

Now, Ye Qinghan can handle things on her own with ease.

At the moment the sword energy gathered, Ye Qiao noticed that he was holding his own spirit sword.

"Take a look at Ye Qiao." Mu Chongxi, keeping an eye on Ye Qinghan's condition, called out, "The Soaring Swan Sword."

The deep purple spirit sword flashed with a bright light and actually took shape in Ye Qinghan's hand.

Ye Qiao: "...My heart aches so much. I've been tempering this sword with it for so long, and it hasn't given me the slightest reaction."

The Jinghong Sword, which had failed to take form despite being tempered by lightning multiple times in her hands, finally took form due to Ye Qinghan's influence.

Mu Chongxi patted her twice, "With so many spirit swords gathered together, it's impossible for the Jinghong Sword to have no reaction at all under such influence."

The purple sword spirit was enveloped in lightning, curled up inside, and only a blurry shadow remained.

The purple sword spirit took form within the sword.

For a moment, everyone held their breath.

Everyone present was a sword cultivator, and none of them were uninterested in the sight of the sword spirit taking human form.

A lightning-attribute sword spirit.

Even in the cultivation world, it is an extremely rare spiritual sword.

Ye Qiao immediately gripped her sword and stood in front of Ye Qinghan, ensuring that the transformation process wouldn't be disturbed.

The phoenix fire instantly turned the area below to ashes.

The Right Protector's expression turned cold: "A lightning-elemental spirit sword, taking form?"

Lightning-type spiritual roots are rare among mutated spiritual roots. Not to mention the transformation of a lightning-type sword spirit.

In an instant, countless demons tensed up, knowing all too well how troublesome those sword spirits were, and now another one had appeared.

Moreover, it's a purple lightning-type sword spirit.

—The effects and capabilities are both unknown.

They were already afraid of the Flying Immortal Sword, and now a lightning-type spirit sword was coming, which was undoubtedly a disaster for them.

"Interrupt it." The Right Protector frowned deeply, furious at the incompetence of his subordinates. Seeing this, he quickly ordered, "Disperse the sword spirit."

The Ghost King Tower was destroyed during their fight, and she couldn't take it out again anytime soon. The only offensive spiritual weapon, the Crescent Crossbow, was in Ming Xuan's hands, so Ye Qiao could only use the Spirit Sword at the moment.

At times like these, the Flying Immortal Sword is most effective, its light reflecting off them with devastating force, capable of annihilating demons with a single strike.

Demons fear fire and lightning, and coincidentally, she possesses all three.

The Jinghong Sword, which was in the process of taking form at that time, made them feel as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

Ye Qiao pinched a talisman with her fingertips, and a defensive formation was erected. Before it could cover the Jinghong Sword, it was shattered by the fierce lightning emanating from the sword itself.

Hmm.

I can tell, this sword spirit is quite fierce.

With a sweep of deep purple sword energy, the hem of her robes billowed in an arc. The transformed sword spirit not only helped, but also amplified the effects of the spirit sword itself. With the sword spirit's assistance, the lightning spirit root was like a fish in water, and she slashed down with her sword.

"Your wife is pretty fierce." She held the Flying Immortal Sword in one hand and spoke to Lueying.

Lueying chuckled twice: "I've been able to run rampant in the Sword Cave for so many years, not because of anything else, but because my wife is awesome."

Ye Qiao understood; another gigolo.

However, no one would say anything if Blade & Soul were to live off a woman.

"Ye Qiao," Ye Qinghan called out to her, "Domain."

The Return of Ten Thousand Swords is equivalent to a devastating group attack. He needs Ye Qiao's materialized domain to trap the demons within the entire area. Ye Qiao nodded, slashed with her feet, and instantly unleashed the pale green domain in her palm.

"All things are born."

Centered on Ye Qiao, the area rapidly expanded, forming an encirclement at an astonishing speed.

During this time, Ye Qiao glanced briefly at the spirit of the Jinghong Sword, which had successfully transformed into human form.

In the instant I caught a glimpse of the other person's face, only one sentence remained in my mind:

elegant.

That's so damn elegant.
