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

He discovered that Ye Qiao had a very low tolerance for ugly things.

Every time, it manages to drive someone to the brink of madness with pinpoint accuracy.

Anshu, who had been personally attacked, began to scream, "Aaaaah! Kill her! Kill her!"

At its command, the attack came in a massive, overwhelming barrage. A dense net was spread out, enveloping everyone within.

Ye Qinghan shifted his position, dodging the long sword that suddenly slashed down from behind.

He composed himself slightly and noticed that it was the knife he had lost in the forbidden area.

The boulder behind him was shattered into powder by a single strike of the longsword, and the entire forbidden area was filled with crumbling rubble. Ye Qinghan's brow twitched violently, and he raised his hand to summon the spirit of the Broken Water Sword.

Among water-based spirit swords, the Water-Severing Sword is the foremost.

With the water attribute combined with the ice spiritual root, Ye Qinghan was able to bring both to their full potential. The flying longsword was frozen, but its sharpness was evident. The blade easily cleaved through the ice and slashed down towards his head.

Ye Qinghan raised his hand to block, but his hand was entangled by the long sword and he couldn't free himself.

Ye Qiao didn't take this magical artifact seriously. As a control-type magical artifact, it could be easily dealt with by cutting off the source of its control. However, she was curious about how strong its control ability was and how much power it could unleash.

She wanted to wait and see, to test the effects of this magical artifact.

"Xiao Ai." Ye Qiao easily dodged the flying arrow. "You should know the origin of this magical artifact, right?"

The demon lord in his mind remained silent.

Ye Qiao had gotten used to his silence. Both of them had their own ulterior motives. Mu Li wanted to use her to find a body, while Ye Qiao kept him around because he needed to deal with the demons. In this situation where each got what they wanted, she would often ask Mu Li questions.

"I've seen it." Mu Li didn't want to break ties with Ye Qiao for the time being, so he reluctantly answered after a long pause: "It's called the Dark Book."

"It is an extremely evil thing. It can control any object it grasps, and even control people simply by touching it."

For someone like Mu Li, who has reached the pinnacle of his cultivation, spiritual artifacts are actually not that important.

It's even quite cumbersome.

"However, it is very powerful and ignores realm. It can even control someone in the Tribulation Transcending stage. But it is almost impossible to control someone under the nose of someone in the Tribulation Transcending stage."

Its strength lies in its control ability, but its weakness also lies in its control ability. Once its ability to control human tentacles is discovered, it becomes useless.

Ye Qiao said thoughtfully, "Thank you, Xiao Ai."

The Dark Book has everything it desires; neither defensive talismans nor magical artifacts can affect its control. It only needs to find an opportunity to ambush, and it can turn anyone, regardless of their cultivation level, into a puppet.

It's a disgusting kind of magical artifact.

however--

Ye Qiao's statement that she was true to herself almost drove it mad.

Ahhhhh.

Kid!

That rude brat from the Changming Sect!!

"Calm down. Going against her won't do you any good." The Moon Arrow materialized into a woman's pale white silhouette, her voice sincere. Among all the magical artifacts, she was one of the more rational ones, never speaking without reason.

The Bright Moon Arrow is the most discerning of all the spiritual weapons. Its own attack power is not strong. When eight Golden Core stage ghosts broke into the forbidden area and attacked it with five spiritual swords, she knew that she could not escape.

Because the process of submission was quick, there was no beating involved.

The Moon Arrow subtly told it, "You can't beat Ye Qiao."

This spirit may not be aware of Ye Qiao's great achievements.

She's a ruthless person who has breached the forbidden area of ​​the Moon Purity Sect.

"How can she have so many spirit swords?" Dark Book gritted its teeth, somewhat incredulous as it saw the three spirit swords in Ye Qiao's hand.

Mingyue Arrow replied, "Her potential is very high, and her fusion with spiritual weapons is also very high."

The overall potential of this personally taught disciple is likely to be among the top, even among the geniuses of the cultivation world.

Perhaps she could go even higher. But no one has tested it. Where exactly is her limit?

……

In the forbidden area, Ye Qinghan, who was entangled with the long sword, suddenly stopped moving. He looked like a puppet controlled by silk threads, and his eyes became dull and lifeless.

He turned and suddenly attacked Ye Qiao, who was strolling leisurely.

Ye Qiao had been keeping an eye on Ye Qinghan's movements, wanting to see when he would be completely parasitized. Upon seeing this, she quickly jumped away and shouted, "Stop the water!"

"come over."

She calmly said, "Your sword master has been controlled."

Without hesitation, Duan Shui floated towards Ye Qiao. His expressionless, light blue sword spirit used the water as blades, forming a perfect water prison. Any arrows that approached were sliced ​​into pieces. He turned his head, "You knew Ye Qinghan was parasitized a long time ago?"

Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to react in such an instant.

Ye Qiao nodded.

The voice that cut off the water was icy cold: "Then why didn't you warn Ye Qinghan sooner that he was being controlled?"

She shrugged, "I'm afraid of alerting them."

Since the Sword Inquiry Sect dared to keep the secret book in the forbidden area, it means there's not much of a problem. Otherwise, why would their founder have kept it in the forbidden area? To harm his own disciples?

She was certain the threads controlling Ye Qinghan could be severed, and fearing that using too cruel a method would frighten the magical artifact into remaining hidden, she didn't inform Ye Qinghan at all. After all, Ye Qinghan's acting skills were quite poor.

"However," Ye Qiao reached out and caught the flying longsword steadily. With her free hand, she gripped the sword and slashed it in a semi-circular arc, cutting through the dense, fine threads. After the threads were severed, the longsword indeed went out of control. She became excited: "Duan Shui, don't worry, I won't let Ye Qinghan die in vain."

Ye Qinghan, who was being controlled: "..." I'm not dead!!

"Calm down, Ye Qinghan." Looking at the restrained Ye Qinghan, Ye Qiao raised her hand, holding his long sword in one hand and Bujianjun in the other, and warned with a smile, "Otherwise I'll stab you to death."

Ye Qinghan: "..."

He was certain that Ye Qiao wouldn't hold back.

Once controlled, unless one's cultivation level is high enough to be omnipotent, it is by no means easy for an individual to break free.

My body is out of control; I want to speak, but no matter what I do, I can't make a sound.

His whole being was hollow, like a puppet being restrained. The Dark Book twisted and laughed, a mixture of excitement and malice, and couldn't stop trembling. It hadn't seen a living person in a long time and couldn't wait to see the scene of the other being torn apart. "Tear her apart, Ye Qinghan."

The sound of Ye Qinghan approaching with his sword was extremely oppressive. Behind him, rubble exploded one after another. The young man, dressed in white, looked terrifying with his empty eyes as he held his sword.

The voice of the cryptic writer was strange and distorted, like a venomous snake spitting its tongue.

"Kill her."

Ye Qinghan's breathing became erratic and heavy, and only three words remained in his mind: "Kill her."

Ye Qinghan's Nascent Soul stage was genuine; the words "sword genius" perfectly described him. His sword strike was unstoppable, carrying the fierce and righteous sword energy of the Sword Inquiry Sect, creating waves like a tidal wave. Ye Qiao's breath caught in her throat the moment the sword arrived. She tapped her feet, and her figure disappeared from the spot.

The speed of the breeze is so fast that it can achieve instantaneous teleportation in a short period of time.

Back then, her senior brother's move left her completely stunned. Now, Ye Qiao can do it too. In the blink of an eye, she can move outside the attack range of the moment that the wind blows.

When their attack missed, not only Ye Qinghan but also An Shu were stunned.

The reason it chose to parasitize Ye Qinghan is because his aura is strong enough.

As a result, Ye Qiao, whom he thought would die with a single blow, actually avoided it?

How could that be?

Ye Qiao looked utterly innocent. "Are you going to kill me?"

She finished speaking and laughed, then her entire presence vanished.

The forbidden area was eerily quiet for a moment. Ye Qinghan, who was being controlled, turned his head blankly. After the target disappeared, he remained standing there, at a loss.

The breath vanished.

No, the Dark Book suddenly realized that it had never sensed Ye Qiao's presence from beginning to end.

Because this disciple had such a strong presence throughout the entire journey, he was either stepping on the restriction or arguing with Ye Qinghan.

This caused it to overlook this point. She had no breath—

It's impossible for someone to be completely without an aura, unless they have reached a very high level of cultivation. Even Ye Qinghan couldn't completely conceal his aura and not reveal a trace of his cultivation level, so how could she possibly do it?

An Shu didn't really pay much attention to her. She skipped and hopped around like she was crazy, stepping on all the restrictions. The unlucky Ye Qinghan followed behind, sweeping away all the attacks.

The Dark Book was controlling Ye Qinghan like a madman, its fierce sword light radiating in all directions, turning any creature that tried to approach into mincemeat in an instant.

No.

absolutely not!

There was no trace of Ye Qiao anywhere.

"What are you looking for?" Ye Qiao stepped lightly on the breeze, using the gaps between the sword shadows to pass through and land behind An Shu, revealing a bright smile.

In an instant, the figure split into several parts.

The divided spirit after the transformation into a deity.

Faced with a dozen or so people who look exactly alike, who could tell which one was the real her?

Damn it. The Dark Book discovered that the Moon Arrow hadn't lied to it after all.

This impolite brat is a Nascent Soul cultivator.

He was no match for them at all.

She deliberately made a lot of noise, Ye Qiao making her presence felt throughout, stepping on all the restrictions, causing it to subconsciously ignore the fact that her protégé was almost lifeless. However, she acted as if she were seriously ill; how could a normal person possibly step on all the restrictions? This led it to not pay much attention to her actions, resulting in this series of misjudgments.

Anshu couldn't help but scream again.

They're Nascent Soul cultivators!! Why would two Nascent Soul cultivators want to trespass into a forbidden area?! Are they crazy?!

It has been in the forbidden area for a hundred years, and no disciple has ever tried to take the magical artifact.

If it knew that there were two Nascent Soul cultivators, it would never have shown itself.

It was too late for An Shu to regret it. Ye Qinghan couldn't help him at all. No matter how strong he was, Ye Qiao was no weaker than him at the same level. Moreover, in terms of speed and the stability of her realm, Ye Qiao was clearly superior.

More than a dozen clones blocked its escape route, gathering spiritual energy in its wrists. With a single, powerful strike, Dark Book knew it couldn't dodge.

The magical artifact was completely unleashed by her powerful punch. Ignoring the piercing scream in her ear, Ye Qiao sliced ​​through the tentacles covering the book with another sword strike.

At the same time, Ye Qinghan, who was being manipulated, also arrived at the scene.

The boy's expression was blank. A sword swept across her face, brushing against her hair. The chilling aura of the sword spread out, and he uttered a single word: "Die."

Ye Qiao blocked his sword, frowned, and said, "Wake up."

As soon as she finished speaking, the sword, centered on the dark book, drew a bright arc, severing all the tendrils.

All was quiet.

With the crisp sound of the Moon Arrow and the longsword hitting the ground, the control of the Dark Book completely disappeared. Ye Qinghan gradually regained control of his body. He moved slowly, looking down at the Dark Book that had almost been pierced by a fist, and remained speechless for a long time.

They were instantly killed?

He knew Ye Qiao was stronger than the average Nascent Soul cultivator, but he never expected that she could so easily kill the Dark Book after reaching Nascent Soul stage.

Completely powerless to resist, so weak it was unbearable to look at.

Noticing Ye Qinghan's increasingly disgusted gaze, he secretly wrote: "..." Screw you, you bunch of idiots.

"Come with me." Ye Qiao didn't hesitate and quickly picked up the dark book before it could resist.

The dark-skinned man screamed, "Impossible!"

Her ears were practically deafened from being so close, and Ye Qiao covered one ear: "You're not leaving, are you?"

She nodded. "Then don't leave."

She and Ye Qinghan were never supposed to get out anyway.

Their only way out was to break through the forbidden area, but Ye Qiao didn't want to face the Sword Inquiry Sect's demands for compensation, so she simply waited inside the forbidden area for the elders to let them out.

The cryptic message, laced with malice, read: "You'll freeze to death if you stay here too long, won't you? You've probably used up all your fire-controlling talismans by now, haven't you?"

Their eyelashes were already covered with white frost.

The temperature in the forbidden area gradually drops at night, eventually freezing people to death.

Two Nascent Soul cultivators might be able to withstand it, but the process would be extremely agonizing.

"I won't freeze to death." Ye Qiao isn't particularly afraid of the cold. She has KFC, and Ye Qinghan himself is an ice spirit root and is also very resistant to the cold.

However, the two will probably be locked up for five or six days, and it's really not a good thing to keep freezing like this.

Then the Dark Book heard Ye Qiao's absent-minded murmur: "...After tearing the book apart, it should burn for a long time if you use the pages to start a fire."

There are two types of magical artifacts. One type is forged by powerful cultivators, and the other type has existed since the beginning of chaos.

The spiritual artifacts of the five sects are all naturally formed spiritual artifacts born during the chaotic period.

Tearing out a few pages won't have any impact.

After being repeatedly beaten, Dark Book could only endure it, but that didn't stop it from making a few sarcastic remarks, after all, it would not easily give in.

Unexpectedly, Ye Qiao was going to tear him apart.

It was terrified, it was afraid.

It turned its gaze to Ye Qinghan, the only normal person.

"Burn it." Ye Qinghan actually agreed with her actions, after all, the forbidden area was really cold.

Ye Qinghan had no objections, and Ye Qiao immediately got to work, pulling KFC out of the domain and decisively ordering, "Come on. Burn it."

The little girl was very cute, with long red hair and bright golden eyes. She blinked and nodded, "Okay."

Anshu calmed himself from his initial shock and stared at her intently.

She appeared out of nowhere, so is she Ye Qiao's spirit beast or sword spirit?

The fire-type sword spirit only knows one sword, the Morning and Evening Sword.

It thought maliciously that the fire from the Morning and Evening Sword alone couldn't burn it.

It soon learned that the girl was not Chaoxi Jian.

As the flames surged upwards, it burst into a sharp cry, "Ahhh!!" It was a phoenix.

Phoenix fire, capable of burning everything in the world to ashes.

"..."

KFC transformed into a little phoenix and pounced into Ye Qiao's arms.

Ye Qiao quickly hugged the warm KFC to warm herself up. The environment in this forbidden area was really harsh, and Ye Qinghan was also very cold. He looked sadly at the quiet Broken Water Sword Spirit: "Go away, stay away from me."

The temperature inside the forbidden area is so low that water freezes instantly, and the temperature drops even further as you get closer to the water source.

Duanshui: "..."

His entire sword spirit dispersed, and his anger escaped into the sword.

You call him "Sweetie" when you like him, but tell him to get lost when you're no longer useful, right? Ha, Ye Qinghan, you're something else.

The forbidden area is frozen solid for thousands of miles. The spiritual energy has no effect on this coldness, as if it has isolated all external temperatures. The interior can freeze a person to death. Natural spiritual artifacts are durable and can burn for a long time, even a single sheet of paper can burn with phoenix fire.

At first, the two were simply warming themselves by the fire, but the temperature was very comfortable, and the forbidden area was so quiet that it was as if there were no living people inside.

The two gradually went from tacitly squatting like farmers to lying down like salted fish.

While warming herself by the fire, Ye Qiao asked, "How many days are the elders going to lock us up?"

Ye Qinghan recalled the Sixth Elder's personality, "He will probably be locked up for a few days, but the exact time will depend on when the elder calms down."

Ye Qiao said, "Then aren't you just spouting useless nonsense?"

Who knows when the Sixth Elder will calm down?

Ye Qinghan: "..."

"It won't be long," he added. "They won't want to keep us locked up for too long."

The cultivation world is already in turmoil and is in dire need of talent. They cannot possibly leave two readily available Nascent Soul cultivators unused.

……

Outside, the remaining elders and disciples of the Sword Inquiry Sect were busy investigating the demonic cultivators who had infiltrated the sect.

First, arrest those who spread rumors and those cultivators who have ill intentions and want to stir up trouble. In the past few days, quite a few cultivators have been imprisoned in the water dungeon. Xia Qing, who was forced to come out and work, is more resentful than a ghost.

"Elder, Senior Brother Xia, something has happened."

Xia Qing was already in a bad mood. The two of them had been handling matters between the inner and outer sects for some time. After the sect leader disappeared, everyone seemed to have no backbone and placed their hopes on them, looking for them all the time.

He handled all sorts of trivial matters with tireless patience, but the boy's pretty baby face darkened, and he coldly turned his head: "What now?"

Oh right, his only helper, Zuo Yi, has gone out to slack off.

He was almost driven crazy by the trivial matters within the sect.

This senior disciple was quite cute, and usually had a cheerful and good temper at the Sword Inquiry Sect. The inner disciples were so startled by his sudden change in expression that their lips twitched slightly, "Uh..."

Xia Qing realized he had startled the other person. A smile appeared on his baby face, and he softened his tone, suppressing his impatience, as he asked softly, "What's wrong?"

The inner disciple stammered for a while before pointing behind him and honestly reporting, "It seems like... smoke is coming from our forbidden area?"

Xia Qing: "???"

His eyes widened, and he subconsciously turned his head, seeing wisps of smoke rising from the direction of his own forbidden area.

I wonder who has gone into the forbidden area.

Suddenly,

Summer has turned green.

His face turned green.

You really are a forbidden zone killer, Ye Qiao?
