I saved the entire sect by playing idly by letting things fall apart.
What happened in Chapter 424?
Ye Qiao: "..."
What kind of incredible fangirl spirit is this? In the demon dungeon, this sect leader's silly daughter is actually focused on whether the CP she's shipping is real or fake.
In contrast, the others seemed quite normal; their primary concern was whether they could go outside.
"If no demonic cultivators come to support me, based on the route I took here, there's a very high probability..." If she's unlucky and runs into the demonic cultivators around the corner, then there's nothing she can do.
"Can we go with you?" someone asked hesitantly. The woman was holding a child and looked haggard. Ye Qiao noticed that her cultivation level was Golden Core. In the current state of the demon race, it would be difficult to escape while carrying a child.
Ye Qiao pondered for a moment: "Are you sure?"
Even her senior brothers were unwilling to team up with her. They all believed that she was danger itself, and that it would be too thrilling to act with her.
"Let's go," another companion, probably someone she knew, advised. "Stop dawdling. Our target is smaller if we walk on our own."
He had heard of Ye Qiao before; to put it bluntly, she was a walking troublemaker.
"No," the woman said firmly. "I'm going with her."
"What's there to follow? Can't we just walk on our own? If we don't show ourselves soon, the sect leader will be going crazy." After so much time, even the outside world has probably already assumed they are dead.
The sect leader's silly daughter, who had been chattering away just moments before, suddenly opened her round cat eyes wide and said, "I want to go with Ye Qiao too."
She had rarely left the mountain since she was a child. Her father told her that the outside world was dangerous and that someone as stupid as her had no chance of survival. Even if she encountered danger, she would be the first cannon fodder to die. And for cannon fodder like her, all she had to do was find a powerful figure to cling to and obediently follow orders.
Now that we have the right connections, all we need to do is follow one principle: believe in Ye Qiao, and you will gain eternal life.
This made others sigh, "What a devoted fan of Ye Qiao!"
But Ye Qiao is indeed well-known.
Who would go out of their way to take advantage of such a chance to curry favor with someone powerful and influential?
Face? Face is not important. Haven't you seen how those close associates are able to bend and stretch when they need something from others?
"Please take us with you!! Please, Ye Qiao!"
"We're very useful! Take us with you!"
"Yeah, yeah. Think about it, if you don't bring us along, you'll lose our fawning and flattery."
No matter how much they criticize these protégés on forums or in competitions, when they meet the real people, they still have to beg to befriend them.
"I have to find the young prince." Her purpose was to rescue the dragon. Ye Qiao always came to the Demon Realm quietly and left spectacularly. She even planned to blow up this dungeon before leaving, so that the Holy Maiden could use this opportunity to escape death.
Being followed by a group of people not only prevents her from using her hands, but also makes her a target.
"I know, I know," a boy said timidly. "I know where that silly white dragon is. I'll take you there."
The majority of people there were children. Ye Qiao glanced at him, then roughly estimated that there were at least fifty people imprisoned there. Following behind her would make them easy targets. After thinking for a moment, she agreed: "Since you want to come along, then let's go into the domain."
If all fifty-odd people were crammed into the field, perhaps it wouldn't attract so much attention.
"Your domain?" The sect leader's silly daughter's cat-like eyes darted around curiously. "Will it be very strong? Highly lethal?"
They were worldly second-generation immortals who knew about domains and were very clear about one thing: domains are exclusive. If one's divine sense is not strong enough to control a domain, then once one steps into it, one is likely to be attacked by the domain.
It's alright if it's gentle and non-aggressive; although it's a bit weak, at least it makes people feel at ease.
I'm afraid of encountering a strong field.
"It's nothing." Ye Qiao waved her hand, exceptionally confident: "I have perfectly mastered how to use the Myriad Things Life Formation."
Bringing people is absolutely no problem.
"Yay!" As a huge fan of Ye Qiao, the girl's eyes sparkled, and she immediately chimed in, "Wow! Your field is called 'All Things Grow'! Judging from the name, it must be a very positive and uplifting field!"
Fearing accusations of fraud, Ye Qiao vaguely replied, "Whatever you like."
It has to be said that prisons are a veritable talent market. Everywhere you go, you'll find second-generation immortals. These second-generation immortals may not be good at anything else, but their backers are all incredibly powerful. The demons originally intended to imprison them to threaten the experts in the cultivation world. In order not to be left behind, they eagerly promised that once they returned home, they would definitely call upon all their ancestors for eighteen generations to come and support them.
"Ye Qiao, I dug my great-grandfather out of his house to help you!"
The older generation who went into seclusion were at least at the Nascent Soul stage. Although there hadn't been a Nascent Soul cultivator in the cultivation world for nearly a hundred years, there were still many older masters. However, those people were all aiming for ascension and never came out of seclusion easily. His words about digging out his great-grandfather made Ye Qiao exclaim how awesome he was.
……
The domain can encompass a large area, and the higher one's cultivation level, the longer one can stay inside. Ye Qiao's cultivation level can support the domain for a long time, so there is no problem in safely bringing these people back to the cultivation world.
The area is a vibrant and thriving place.
Upon seeing so many people enter, the sword spirits immediately leaped onto the trees. The four sword spirits poked their heads out and exchanged glances for a moment.
—Why did Qiaoqiao bring so many people in here?
—There are so many people.
—I want to freeze them. Look at the frozen monks.
The Flying Immortal Sword gently covered the Frost Sword's mouth, "Please be sure to suppress this dangerous thought of yours."
Otherwise, Ye Qiao might have become a murderer.
The group of cultivators were completely unaware that they were being secretly watched by a group of sword spirits.
"What a beautiful field."
The area was surrounded by pale green light spots that landed on fingertips. The younger children were particularly excited, while the other cultivators exchanged glances. It looked nice, but in the cultivation world, it didn't really matter.
……
Taking advantage of all the cultivators entering the domain, Ye Qiao quickly and quietly released Xiao Qi. Many people had died in the dungeon, and the lingering yin energy was perfect for ghosts to devour. While Xiao Qi was feasting, Ye Qiao, guided by one of the men, found the place where the young prince was imprisoned.
Ye Qiao held the Bright Moon Arrow, but it didn't react at all after several attempts. There were more than a dozen layers of restrictions inside.
Anyone who didn't know better would think the young prince had broken some heavenly law.
Just then, Ao Li, who was imprisoned, heard the sound of the barrier being opened. He muttered something and became excited: "Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Demon Clan's dungeon."
Ye Qiao was greeted with a warm welcome by the young prince as soon as she entered the dungeon.
She couldn't help but wonder if she hadn't rescued him for too long, causing Ao Li to go insane from being locked up.
"Wake up." Ye Qiao drew her bow, breaking the seal. A crisp sound rang out as she grabbed the little prince. "Come with me."
Ao Li, who was leaning against the wall in a state of self-imposed isolation, was suddenly jolted up. He shook his head, staring blankly at her: "You...you were locked up here too?"
During his month-long imprisonment, he had seen too many imprisoned cultivators, which caused the young prince to instinctively greet them warmly according to the social etiquette of cultivators at the slightest sound.
"No. Run!" Ye Qiao scooped up the little prince and left. With such a commotion, the Right Protector probably hadn't realized what was happening yet. If he did realize what was happening and caught up with them, getting out of the Demon Clan would be as difficult as climbing to heaven.
She moved so fast that the little prince blinked several times: "Where are we going?!"
Ye Qiao didn't have time to explain. She was like a thief stealing melons. She grabbed the melons and stopped abruptly before leaving. Several spell seals danced in her palms, layer upon layer, probably more than ten layers in total. Their power was so great that they could level the entire underground dungeon of the demon race.
He flipped his palm and slapped it down.
"Boom—"
With a deafening roar, the entire underground dungeon was destroyed.
Several unfamiliar figures appeared one after another in the distance. It must be that the demons had caught up after hearing the commotion. Without stopping for a moment, she ran back the way she came.
She came via the shortcut of the Demon Abyss. That was the dividing line between the two races. From ancient times to the present, the Demon Abyss has been portrayed by cultivators as an overly demonic place. Not to mention ordinary cultivators, even powerful beings who have reached a certain level such as the Nascent Soul stage are not sure if they can survive the Demon Abyss unscathed.
However, the ability of all things to grow can effectively protect a person the moment they land. Therefore, Ye Qiao ran directly towards the location of the Demon Abyss.
Because of the speed, even the little prince, who was being blown about by the wind, couldn't speak clearly. "Aww, what game are you playing, Ye Qiao?"
This looks exciting and fun!
"That's right, that's right." Ye Qiao's voice was cheerful. "The game is called, Princess Rescues the Dragon."
Ao Li smugly asked, "Am I a princess?"
"No, you are a dragon."
"..."
The young prince pursed his lips unhappily, then reminded him, "Someone's here. Ye Qiao."
Dragons have very sensitive divine senses; they can sense even the slightest movement.
Ye Qiao rode her KFC bike, preparing to fly into the sky. The Abyss was hundreds of meters high. Halfway up, she felt a rustling sound and turned around to see people jumping down from the Abyss.
The falling speed was too fast. Ye Qiao watched helplessly as he brushed past her. "Holy crap!" She quickly rummaged through her bag and pulled out a hunting net. The large golden net was cast down and tightly wrapped around any living creature it touched.
—Got it.
The rescued cultivators were all dumbfounded.
Can animal traps still be used like this?
Ye Qiao pulled upwards, and KFC flew upwards with the people inside.
The young prince was bewildered. "Are all cultivators this ruthless? If you don't want to live, jump into the Demon Abyss."
Even if he was completely naive, he had heard of the terror of the Demon Abyss. Normal cultivators would not even take a step near this hellish place, because if they fell in, they would most likely be devoured by the lurking demons below.
"He probably didn't jump down on his own."
When Ye Qiao caught him with the net, the man was clearly overjoyed at surviving such a close call. Moreover, a normal person in the cultivation world, during such a turbulent time, would not possibly come to the Demon Abyss seeking thrills.
If you didn't jump on your own, then you must have been forced into it by someone with no other choice.
The young prince said, "Hey, I thought that person was old and was thinking of committing suicide."
Ye Qiao: "You should know that some seniors have very strange personalities as they get older." For example, Elder Zhao, one second he's all smiles and gentle breezes, the next he's furious.
The two men, each speaking at an advanced age, made the cultivators trapped in the net below look somewhat embarrassed.
The cultivator looked very old, at least on par with the sect elders. Ye Qiao shuddered and suddenly thought of a possibility.
It should be understood that ordinary rogue cultivators would not come to the Demon Realm. Right now, the relationship between the demon and monster races and cultivators is at its most tense. No one dares to approach the Demon Realm territory, except for those seniors who came to support the cultivators and rushed to the battlefield.
The person she saved was probably some unknown elder from somewhere.
Ye Qiao quickly pulled the net up and onto KFC's back. The other person's age was hard to tell, but his aura was unfathomable. Ye Qiao didn't dare to argue with the young prince anymore and quickly greeted him respectfully, "Senior."
The other person's expression had softened. He looked at his mount with curiosity and asked, "Little girl, are you riding a bird?"
"no."
"Oh." The man nodded. "So that's a demonic beast?"
Why do you think that?
"These days, the disciples are all quite adventurous. I've seen quite a few riding around on demonic beasts. I really don't know where they get the guts."
Monsters are not as docile as those tamed cranes.
They could turn around and eat you in a heartbeat.
Ye Qiao felt inexplicably guilty. "Senior, what's the situation up in the Demon Abyss?"
Her reminder made the man realize something, and his expression tensed up. "We were just chased here by the demonic cultivators."
This was roughly what Ye Qiao had guessed. She asked, "Do you have any companions?"
"They fell down too, and I'm afraid their chances of survival are slim." The man's expression darkened.
"That's not necessarily true," Ye Qiao said.
She has extensive experience jumping off cliffs, having jumped into the Abyss of Demons twice. There are places in the Abyss where one can hide. The original owner of this body had also gone down into the Abyss of Demons once, and at that time she only suffered some minor injuries. As long as one does not fall to the bottom, one is not necessarily going to die.
Moreover, Ye Qiao could sense that there was still activity underground.
Directing KFC to quickly land on the cliff, Ye Qiao immediately checked the direction after stepping onto the ground. The demonic cultivators probably assumed the cultivators were all dead after they jumped off the cliff, and they had already left.
After landing, Ye Qiao jumped down, lay on the ground, and quickly peered towards the Demon Abyss. She took out a megaphone talisman from her storage bag and shouted at the top of her lungs, "Is anyone still alive down there? If so, please let meow!"
Meow~
"Meow meow meow!!!"
Hearing the commotion above, several burly men rushed to start meowing wildly at the top of their lungs.
Ye Qiao exclaimed in surprise, "Oh my god, this place is full of cats with smoky voices!"
She rummaged through the magical artifacts in the mustard seed bag: two ropes and a net. These three tools were enough to pull the person up.
The rope was swung down, and the automatically tracking Immortal Binding Rope found the hiding place of the cultivators below, hooked their waists, and quickly pulled the people above the Demon Abyss upwards.
They went back and forth five times, pulling up ten people in total.
Besides those few husky-voiced cats, there are also a few female seniors below the Demon Abyss.
After helping everyone up, Ye Qiao lay on KFC's back and was surrounded by a group of seniors.
"Thank you for your help, young friend."
Someone said thank you.
"Who is your teacher, child?"
The man was all smiles, but his words carried a hint of probing. After all, he had never seen this girl before; she was too young, and her aura was so faint that he couldn't detect her at all. Moreover, when she swung the rope earlier, it sounded a bit like demonic energy.
Ye Qiao realized that the Transformation Pill's effects were too powerful and had aroused suspicion. She scratched her hair and quickly introduced herself, "My master's name is Qin Fanfan."
"Want to eat?"
"No." She paused for a moment, then said, "It's Qin."
"Oh..." What a silly name. The man thought to himself.
"Never heard of it."
Seeing their increasingly suspicious gazes, Ye Qiao quickly added, "My martial aunt is called Xie Chuxue."
Now that they seemed to know each other, he asked, "Are you a disciple of the Changming Sect?"
Ye Qiao felt a little sad about her master's lack of fame; even Xie Chuxue was more famous than Qin Fanfan.
"Yes." Ye Qiao quickly got off KFC. After all, Elder Zhao had taught her for many years that she should be polite to her seniors, so she quickly added, "Ye Qiao, a direct disciple of the Changming Sect."
Changming Sect...
He's a direct disciple.
"You're a disciple? You didn't go to the battlefield?" All the other disciples are here, so why did she suddenly appear in the Demon Realm?
How could they emerge from the Abyss of Demons unscathed?
Perhaps realizing that the girl who had saved them was a junior, his tone immediately adopted the lecturing tone of an elder. One of the female seniors quickly interrupted him, "We are very grateful that you helped the child. If you are going to the battlefield, could you take us with you?"
With eleven people before her whose cultivation levels were all unfathomable, Ye Qiao dared not utter a word of dissent. She nodded and said, "Okay."
"When did the Changming Sect produce a direct disciple like you?"
"As far as I can remember, it seems that no one goes to watch the Changming Sect's Grand Competition. Even the cultivators within the Changming Sect's own territory don't have much hope."
Listening to their conversation, Ye Qiao said, "Seniors, the first sect of this year is the Changming Sect."
"Changming Sect?"
The man immediately fell silent, clearly not expecting this turn of events.
Ao Li pouted and whispered to Ye Qiao, "Who are they?"
"These people might be seniors who have just emerged from seclusion," Ye Qiao whispered to Ao Li. "In any case, be respectful."
"How did you know you were a senior who had just finished seclusion?"
Ye Qiao stroked her chin. "Because I think I'm pretty famous in the cultivation world?"
Of course, it wasn't that she was so narcissistic as to think that these seniors must know her.
Most importantly, the other party was clearly shocked when they heard that Changming Sect was the number one sect.
If the information is so delayed, it can only be from some seniors who have just come out of seclusion.
The KFC flew exceptionally fast, suddenly creating a powerful turbulence that caused significant disturbance throughout the air.
A powerful shockwave made her hair flutter, and Ye Qiao felt a suffocating pressure pressed against her shoulder, as if it could knock her to the ground.
Apart from the Demon Lord, there are few who can feel this kind of oppression and turmoil.
She held her breath; had something happened?
