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

"Damn it!" Qin Fanfan, who was listening nearby, gritted her teeth. "That damned old bastard actually said that my Xiao Qiao only has a bit of luck and a little cleverness."

He was furious!

Xie Chuxue didn't even glance at the Demon Lord, who was watching her with a sinister gaze. She tore open the talisman and prepared to leave. Just as she was about to depart, the Demon Lord suddenly said coldly, "Xie Chuxue, didn't you see me?"

The lighthearted atmosphere vanished instantly. With the Demon Lord's words, the turbulent waves that had suddenly surged in the hall quickly subsided, creating an exceptionally tense atmosphere.

"Demon Lord," Xie Chuxue said calmly, chuckling twice, "How could I not see you? You're all I see."

He flicked the talisman in his hand, "Goodbye, you and Qin Fanfan have fun."

Xie Chuxue's voice disappeared, and a battle was about to break out in the main palace. Some demon elders kept their eyes down and dared not breathe. The surrounding atmosphere was like a blade hanging on their necks, and if they tensed up even slightly, it would turn into the sharpest thread and separate their bodies.

Those with lower cultivation levels were already trembling with fear.

Xie Chuxue's attitude was not only indifferent, but she completely disregarded her.

A mere talisman cultivator!! A mere talisman cultivator actually ignored me!

The rampant demonic energy spread, and the Sword Inquiry Sect Master lowered his hand to the sword at his waist, coldly meeting the Demon Lord's gaze. "Still want to fight?"

The Demon Lord's eyes suddenly turned sinister.

He had fought against the leaders of these sects.

They are all difficult to deal with.

However, as the Demon Abyss was gradually opened, many demon cultivators' strength increased greatly, and they were not incapable of contending with the elders of the Five Sects.

Among all the sect leaders, the most difficult to deal with are the sword cultivators, such as Qin Fanfan and the sect leader of the Wenjian Sect.

The Demon Lord never intended to confront them head-on. The outcome was still uncertain. It would be quite dramatic if, after both the righteous and evil factions were severely weakened, someone else would stalk them like a mantis stalking a cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.

He was considering using his subordinates to deal with Ye Qiao and her group, and tentatively see if they could take the magical artifact away.

Clearly, after several exchanges, he hadn't dealt them a serious blow; his incompetent subordinates were no match for his direct disciples!

A group of demons, who later even asked the monsters for help, ended up blocking the Ye family's doorstep but were taken away by Ye Qiao and Ye Qinghan with two sets of sword moves, one in front and one behind.

What a disgrace!

Perhaps realizing that he had no chance against these disciples, the Demon Lord decided to temporarily cease hostilities with these sect leaders. He then quietly discussed with the Demon Emperor the possibility of sending some demon beasts to their deaths to pave the way for victory, since the only way for them to win was to break through the defenses of their own people.

A demon beast self-destructing is equivalent to a full-force attack from a Nascent Soul stage demon beast.

Faced with such an overwhelming number, even those close disciples would find it difficult to cope.

Seeing Xie Chuxue preparing to leave, he guessed that she was probably going to help her disciples.

But the gloom on the Demon Lord's face quickly dissipated, and his expression returned to normal.

He didn't even care if Ye Qiao came.

A Nascent Soul cultivator.

He admitted that he had been careless and had been outmaneuvered by Ye Qiao, but so what? There was nothing she could use to help him now.

"Come here." The Demon Lord's lips curled into a chilling smile. "You're all doomed anyway."

Once the demon race has slaughtered all the cultivators, there will be no reinforcements in the demon territory. These old bastards won't even know how they died.

In an instant, the battle was about to begin, and everyone in the main palace vanished from their spot.

·

……

Not long after Xie Chuxue left, he could sense the commotion of the fight breaking out among those people, and he sighed deeply.

He was gambling with his life that Ye Qiao would win.

She even brought out the secret book; her intentions couldn't be clearer—was she aiming for the Demon Emperor?

But how will Ye Qiao win?

What can she use to win? Xie Chuxue's mind raced as she analyzed. Xiao Qiao's biggest trump card was her domain, but that domain was also the only asset that gave her the confidence to challenge those at the Tribulation Transcending stage.

Oh right, there's also a secret book that could betray you at any time, like a time bomb.

Apart from that, other magical artifacts are not very useful.

Ye Qiao's only confidence was in the ability to step on the breeze. When mastered, this technique could leave no trace or sound under any circumstances. Combined with a technique to conceal one's aura and the precognitive inheritance, it was possible to constantly tug at the enemy and buy time.

All the disciples received different inheritances, but Ye Qiao's inheritance is the most capable of solo combat among them, allowing her to predict the opponent's attack and react accordingly.

It puts a person's reaction speed to the test. But there's no need to worry about that; Xiao Qiao's reaction speed was honed step by step by Duan Yu.

With this in mind, Xie Chuxue optimistically felt that Ye Qiao did seem to have a chance to win.

There's some hope, but not much.

……

As expected, Ye Qiao was intercepted by numerous demon kings. She coldly watched as the irrational demon beasts rushed towards her, determined to defend the Demon Emperor to the death. She had already opened the Dark Book with her fingertips.

The people on the back of KFC next to her changed their expressions slightly when they saw the swarm of monsters. Everyone present was a seasoned person, and after calming down, they were even more confused about what she was up to.

"Are you really going to find the Demon Emperor, or are you joking with us?"

Ye Qiao: "Do you think those demonic beasts are joking with us?" The moment the cultivators approached, all the demon kings and demonic beasts arrived in unison, ready to protect their demon emperor.

The man's expression darkened slightly; he still had a sense of responsibility. "Don't wander off. Leave this place to us for now."

"Okay." Ye Qiao had been waiting for him to say that, so she immediately accepted the offer. This quick reply made the man pause for a moment, his expression complicated. This personal disciple is really... amazing.

They just dumped the mess on them without any attempt to hide it.

Ye Qiao brought them here to help her hold off the approaching demonic beasts. "Then I'll have to trouble you, senior!"

Her expectant tone dispelled the man's resentment. He nodded, and remembering that she had been alone the whole time, he couldn't help but ask, "Where are the people from your five sects? What about the other disciples?"

Surely there can't be just one person among more than twenty direct disciples?

As far as he knew, sect disciples usually went down the mountain in groups.

Ye Qiao: "We were acting separately, and I don't know where they are." Time was too tight, and she hadn't even had time to contact the others.

The woman asked, "What about the top member of your five sects? Can't you send him to save the day?"

The disciples' own cultivation level far surpasses that of others. A late-stage Golden Core cultivator might even be able to fight on equal terms with a Nascent Soul cultivator. They can fight against cultivators of different cultivation levels without any pressure.

Therefore, she hoped that Ye Qiao could quickly send people over to help.

Seeing that Ye Qiao didn't answer him for a long time, the other man had a bad feeling: "Don't tell me you're not popular in the Five Sects and you don't know any of the disciples well?"

After Ye Qiao's shameful silence, his heart sank. Could there really be someone in this world so bad that they would be ostracized by the rest of the disciples?

"I am the number one among the five sects." Ye Qiao paused for a moment, then spread his hands innocently: "Instead of begging others, you should beg me to hurry up."

They found it somewhat absurd.

"Because you're the only direct disciple left among the five sects? So you became number one?"

"..." That hurts! She's clearly the real deal.

Ye Qiao stopped arguing with them and quickly opened the Dark Book. She cut her hand and drew a little blood. The Dark Book, secretly dissatisfied, didn't expect her to let go of it in such a chaotic situation. Its first reaction was to quickly control everyone around her and get rid of Ye Qiao.

But when she cut her hand, the sweet blood made Dark Book forget about betraying her; she smelled too good.

It drooled frantically, wagging its tail like a dog begging for mercy, "Ye Qiao."

Ye Qiao raised her finger, pointing to the charging monsters. "Help me stop them."

She was unsure of the power of the self-destruction, but judging from the terrifying noise she had heard not long ago, she knew it would be difficult to withstand.

Therefore, this operation cannot be completed without the secret document.

"Give me some Ye Qiao's blood first." It flew in front of her, wanting to drink it. The Dark Book had a premonition that Ye Qiao's blood would allow it to quickly recover its strength.

As a result, Ye Qiao pressed her index finger against the wound the next second, stopping the bleeding.

"You wretched brat!" the Dark Scholar shouted angrily. He wouldn't even give him his blood to drink. He was dreaming if he thought the Dark Scholar would recognize him as his master!

"I am a spiritual weapon of the Sword Inquiry Sect, what right do you have to take me away?!"

They took him away, fine, but they won't even let him suck their blood. What a despicable brat.

Ye Qiao said cheekily, "But the Sword Inquiry Sect doesn't want you anymore."

The Sword Inquiry Sect completely treated it like a hot potato, and dared not let anyone enter the forbidden area at will. It really thought it was a treasure.

Ye Qiao and An Shu chatted back and forth, seemingly forgetting about the charging monster. Several reliable seniors exchanged glances, no longer expecting their disciple to do anything.

There was no other way, so they had to go ahead.

The cultivators present were also rare experts in the cultivation world, ranging from the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm to the late stage of the Void Refinement realm, and they had no problem dealing with the demonic beasts.

The tricky ones were the monsters that would self-destruct as soon as they got close, making them extremely difficult to deal with.

With the pressure shared by his seniors, Ye Qiao rode KFC without looking back and swooped down towards the Demon Emperor's position again. The little prince on the phoenix's back let out a howl at the relentlessly pursuing demon beasts behind him.

"..."

Obviously, the effect is minimal.

KFC: "Don't embarrass yourself. I'm embarrassed for you by howling like that."

The young prince sulked, "Hmph. Broken phoenix."

KFC hadn't flown far when more demon kings began to approach and block their path. This time, there were even more of them than before, and the man and his two beasts were completely surrounded by the demon king horde.

Is it any wonder that even the demon king's human form is so grotesque? Some of them look like half-evolved aberrant creatures, with horns on their heads and tails behind them.

"Hi."

Ye Qiao greeted them, but the demon kings, showing no mercy, shouted, "Knock Ye Qiao down!!"

The avian demon king and the demon beasts flew into the air and attacked the two people on KFC's back. KFC was annoyed and, accompanied by sharp phoenix cries, they fell to the ground one by one.

Countless birds lay prostrate on the ground.

A hundred birds pay homage to the phoenix.

It's happening again!!

A bunch of useless trash.

Ye Qiao smiled and said, "Well done, KFC."

Phoenix weaved through countless pursuers, and Ye Qiao directed KFC to fly towards the bamboo forest.

The terrain there was complex and complicated. KFC had gone on the escape with Ye Qiao at least eight or ten times. It was exceptionally agile and relied on its superb escape skills.

Soon, the heads of the two demon kings were stuck between the bamboo groves. Ye Qiao stood on the back of the phoenix, hooked her foot and used the momentum to kick upwards, while also striking the demon beast that was pouncing from the side.

At the same time, the sword spirit was released. The spirit of the Jinghong Sword landed in the crowd, and purple lightning spread everywhere. Those who were electrocuted convulsed and lost their ability to move.

Just when Ye Qiao thought she had shaken off the monster behind her, a burst of demonic energy suddenly struck her wrist from mid-air, causing the Dark Book to slip from her hand.

A demon king with flapping wings snatched it away, landed slowly, and laughed shrilly, "Did you really think you were invincible just because you had a phoenix?"

His prototype is a bat spirit.

Bats are not birds.

They attacked unexpectedly and successfully obtained the secret letter.

Once he obtained the Dark Book, he knew that this evil book, which yearned for freedom, would never return to Ye Qiao's hands.

Ye Qiao's eyes darkened slightly, and the Demon King smiled and waved his hand: "Want to get it?"

"But it seems your secret book doesn't want you, Ye Qiao."

Otherwise, they wouldn't have given up when they were in my hands.

The secret message indeed harbored the idea of ​​sitting back and watching the two sides fight, hoping that both sides would suffer heavy losses in their struggle for him.

The bat smugly remarked, "You're nothing special."

"Really?" Ye Qiao placed her hand on the sword and gripped it tightly. Blood dripped down the sword, and the sweet scent made An Shu run towards her like a madman in an instant.

It wants to drink!

If only I hadn't surrendered, at least I could have gotten to drink Ye Qiao's blood if I had followed her.

The demon king almost let the book fly away when he loosened his grip. He held on tightly, but in his moment of carelessness, the dark book seized the opportunity to parasitize him. It then began to attack the approaching demon king with its flying threads.

The scene instantly descended into chaos. Dark Book seized the opportunity and licked up all the blood as quickly as a dog could.

Holy crap, what a simp.

Ye Qiao felt a constant chill.

Taking advantage of the chaos created by the Dark Book, KFC prepared to leave with Ye Qiao and the others again, but this time the demon kings seemed to have understood the importance of cooperation and did not act in a disorganized manner as before.

Half of the people were left to distract the controlled monsters, while the rest were to surround and intercept them.

Soon she was surrounded from all sides, with more than a dozen demon kings leaping through the air. Their sharp claws swept down, and the purple demonic energy, resembling the face of a fox, devoured her completely, causing defensive talismans and magical artifacts to shatter continuously.

The light and graceful wind technique suddenly descended, forming a sharp arc of wind. The demon king screamed as his claws were severed. The demon king, who then surrounded the demon king with another sword, was torn to pieces by the rampaging sword technique.

A moment of silence fell over the scene.

Because there were too many, Ye Qiao didn't fare well either. Her left arm was almost torn off, and she had a deep wound on her shoulder that exposed bone, and the blood kept flowing.

The monsters that were chasing after her exploded without saying a word when they saw Ye Qiao, giving her a good thrashing.

Seeing this, the young prince disregarded the issue of whether he was exposed or not. He transformed into a dragon in mid-air, swooped down, snatched Ye Qiao away, and fled at top speed.

It was fast; it grabbed Ye Qiao and ran, crushing all the demon kings and beasts that chased after it like ants.

He couldn't help but feel smug.

It is the most powerful dragon.

"The young prince?"

"Who released that broken dragon?"

"Damn demons, those useless trash!" he cursed wildly twice. "Catch up with Ye Qiao, we absolutely cannot let her get close."

Since the Demon Emperor can command demon beasts to self-destruct, he naturally needs to pay a price. Otherwise, self-destruction would violate the rules of the Heavenly Dao. The Demon Emperor also ordered most of the demon beasts to intercept them here. If Ye Qiao really went in, he wouldn't have enough lives to die.

KFC and Little Prince ran side by side. They were beasts, thick-skinned and unafraid of being attacked, so they quickly passed the ball around in the air like a ball.

Ye Qiao, transformed into a flying acrobat: "..."

That's pretty exciting.

The two mythical beasts used a passing-the-pass-like dodging method, tossing and throwing the ball, making it difficult for the monsters to find a target to attack.

After adjusting her posture, Ye Qiao stood in mid-air, stepping on the gentle breeze, and quickly darted forward. She had to find the Demon Emperor.

Whether it's for the sect or the cultivation world.

"Tear her apart."

Just as she was about to rush into the Demon Emperor's location, countless demonic beasts screamed, and the piercing sonic attack made her consciousness tremble.

Seizing the opportunity, several demon kings flew forward and pounced on her. Ye Qiao simply rolled on the spot, and one of the demon kings grabbed her ankle, which could have been torn off with a little force.

Ye Qiao suddenly turned her head and threw out the Shadow Blade. The sharp speed-type spirit sword slashed out like a boomerang, its light purple blade shadow instantly severing the head of the creature.

too fast.

"W-what?"

Having grown accustomed to the magical attacks of Ye Qiaoling's swords, this was the first time I'd ever seen a physical attack.

Ye Qiao was like a slippery eel; after several chases, they suffered heavy losses, while Ye Qiao only suffered minor injuries.

But it is indeed rare to see Ye Qiao in such a disheveled state.

They curled their lips into a mocking smile. "What other tricks do you have up your sleeve?"

"field?"

They were certain that Ye Qiao wouldn't dare use it; her domain could only be opened once, and she probably intended it for the Demon Emperor.

As the saying goes, "It's better to die for your fellow Daoist than for me." Since the Demon Emperor used it, you can't give it to them now.

It was precisely because they were certain that Ye Qiao's domain was waiting for the Demon Emperor that they became even more fearless.

Ye Qiao didn't seem to care much about the horrifying wounds on her body. After crushing a blood-clotting pill to stop the bleeding, she said, "Have you ever heard the saying that villains die from talking too much and BSSs perish from showing off?"

"What do you mean?"

The moment they retorted, the light of the Flying Immortal Sword weakened, and the legs of several demon kings suddenly went weak. Ye Qiao seized the opportunity and cleaved them in two with her spirit sword, blood splattering everywhere. She smiled and said, "So, if I were you, I would have struck first."

"You're asking for death!!" The death of their companion enraged the demon kings, who pounced on him, ready to tear him to pieces.

Ye Qiao flicked her wrist, and the sword technique of the Flying Immortal Sword transformed into countless sword shadows. The sound of swords falling was like a hedgehog, and they roared as they swung down at her shoulder again.

Stepping on the gentle breeze, she easily dodged the attack, and at the same time grabbed a bomb, Ye Qiao suddenly curled her lips and stuffed it into the Demon King's collar.

The bomb rolled down the collar and landed inside the demon king's pants.

The bomb was detonated instantly.

This is really a bomb now.

"Aaaaaah!"

The Demon King's mournful screams echoed through the sky, loud enough for the entire Demon Clan to hear.

Ye Qiao threw out bombs and talismans one after another, creating explosions in all directions centered on her. Now no one dared to approach her easily.

This thing has way too many weird things about it!

Having escaped unscathed from the demon king's attack, Ye Qiao paused in her movements upon sensing a familiar aura, finally letting out a sigh of relief. "Finally!"

She possessed many items, but these were all meant to deal with the Demon Emperor; it would be a waste to give them to a group of Demon Kings.

Ye Qiao stalled for time with KFC and the others the whole time as she sensed the familiar presence approaching, and finally they arrived.

Seeing that Ye Qiao suddenly stopped running, they approached step by step, transforming into their beast forms and arching their bodies in an attack stance. "Have you given up struggling now, Ye Qiao?"

Ye Qiao neither dodged nor evaded, "There's no possibility that you're the ones who should be running now."

"Trying to mess with us again?"

They just tried to get their attention with nonsensical words, and now they dare to use the same tactics again.

court death!

Just as the claws swung down at her head again, the talisman floated onto Ye Qiao's body, bursting with light and tightly enveloping her. The demon kings who were about to attack were bounced back by the talisman and tumbled to the ground.

Xie Chuxue, who rushed over, raised an eyebrow, clearly not expecting this little brat to have gotten himself into such a mess.

His body was covered in wounds, and his red robes were soaked in blood, turning them dark red, as if he had been pulled out of a pool of blood.

well.

Regardless of what these demon kings' purpose was, Xie Chuxue was indeed unhappy.

A feeling of annoyance arose, as if my own cat was being bullied by stray cats.

As for those scattered demon king corpses? What? Ye Qiao's fault? Bullshit, what fault did his cat have?! His cat was just making a slight counterattack.

Within the Changming Sect, Xie Chuxue is more protective of her own than Qin Fanfan. As the sect leader, Qin Fanfan has a bottom line, and she must consider right and wrong before protecting her own.

Xie Chuxue is different; he has no bottom line.

Xie Chuxue's expression was icy as she aimed the dancing spell seals in her palm at the group of demon kings, where countless spiritual energies converged into a chaotic color.

"Watch closely." He smiled and said, "I'll give you a lesson right here. Little Qiao."

Ye Qiao subconsciously turned her head to look.

A burst of intense light erupted in an instant.
