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

"Just who is this kid?"

A white dragon leaped into the clouds and merged with a fiery red phoenix. The sight of a dragon and a phoenix was so striking that even a group of experienced seniors in the cultivation world couldn't help but show expressions of shock.

What merit does a mere disciple possess to take away the phoenix and the dragon?

Blocked by the barrier completely erected by the Minsheng Brush, the demon kings, unwilling to give up, frantically rushed forward, letting out heart-wrenching screams: "Ye Qiao!!"

How could they survive without her?!

If the Demon Emperor finds out about the mission's failure, he will make them explode on the spot.

However, the group of demon kings who were at most at the Nascent Soul stage had no ability to resist Xie Chuxue, who was two whole major realms below them. The barrier was extremely stable and did not budge at all throughout the entire process.

One by one, the demon kings let out heartfelt cries towards Ye Qiao's retreating figure, their heart-wrenching roars sending chills down the spines of the surrounding older cultivators.

"Is that girl quite famous in the cultivation world?"

Why does it feel like every demon king knows her?

Xie Chuxue casually swung the talisman pen, then tilted her head, realizing they were asking her a question. She raised the corner of her lips slightly, "It's obvious."

There wasn't a single demon king present who didn't know her. Given Ye Qiao's fame, her portrait was probably so well-known that every demon in the race had one, and people would punch her portrait a few times to vent their anger when they were in a bad mood.

Oh, he's a well-known protégé.

That's normal. Every century-long competition produces a few very famous disciples, who become famous overnight.

"So, does that mean she can disobey her seniors' orders and act recklessly?" he said angrily.

Xie Chuxue shrugged. "Your command is probably useless, isn't it? Are you planning to let her fight the demonic beasts head-on? Do you think this kind of command and decision-making will change anything? Will it change the demonic beasts' self-destructive fighting style, or will she be able to wipe out all the demonic beasts in the cultivation world just by following your orders and joining the battle?"

"This kind of order makes no difference whether she's there or not."

It's simply a matter of having more people kill monsters.

Someone always has to do something unconventional, and that person has to be Ye Qiao.

In his opinion, being too righteous and unwilling to let go of one's pride makes one an easy target for manipulation.

Ye Qiao has no shame; she even managed to stuff a bomb inside the Demon King's clothes. What a shameless spirit! Xie Chuxue couldn't help but mutter how terrifying it was.

The man was successfully silenced by Xie Chuxue's verbal attack, his face turning red and his neck thick. Xie Chuxue waved the Minsheng Pen in her hand, making it fly, and said with a smile and a smug tone, "Your orders will definitely have no effect, but you can consider the following three rules."

"What?" He frowned subconsciously, instinctively feeling that Xie Chuxue couldn't possibly say anything nice.

"The first rule is to obey Ye Qiao's orders."

"The second rule is to abandon your brain and follow Ye Qiao."

"Third, if you want to take the lead and give orders, then please be sure to follow the above two points."

man:"???"

He looked at Xie Chuxue with such seriousness and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

It seems Xie Chuxue is serious?

"..." Good, good, he understood. He never expected that after a hundred years of seclusion, the once insignificant Changming Sect would have developed into a cult.

This ability to manipulate pyramid schemes, which puts them a decade or more ahead of the other four sects, explains why they were able to unexpectedly snatch first place from the Sword Inquiry Sect.

"Your Changming Sect has quite the methods," he said cryptically before turning away from Xie Chuxue.

Xie Chuxue: "??" Hmm?

……

Having someone back you up is quite nice. Xie Chuxue exposed her cultivation level without any restraint, and all the demon kings around her disappeared. This gave Ye Qiao a taste of the feeling of borrowing the tiger's power. The pressure of the Integration Stage cleared the way, and she rode her phoenix wherever she went as if walking on flat ground.

"Why are you making that face? Haven't you ever had your elders back you up?"

Ye Qiao's excitement was undisguised, which made the little prince a little disgusted. What if they couldn't win a fight in their dragon clan? They would naturally fight back by taking down the older ones, whether they were demon beasts or divine beasts, they were extremely vengeful.

When they can't win a fight, all they do is shout "Dad, come here!"

Ye Qiao thought he was a really well-protected naive and innocent guy. She told him, "We used to be left to our own devices." There was no such thing as backing him up. Sometimes it was good enough if those elders who watched from the sidelines didn't add fuel to the fire.

There will be protection, but that's for the beginner phase. Once you leave the beginner village and start your training, your life or death is in the hands of fate.

They call it a trial for them, and if they unfortunately die out there, they will leave them the best burial place.

Thinking about it this way, being a personal trainee is actually quite fun. She likes being a personal trainee; every time she goes out for training, she has a kind of joyful feeling that she might be on her way to a funeral the next second.

The realm of all things is also bustling. Ye Qiao probed in with her divine sense and was surprised to find that Jun and the others had all emerged from the sword, each with an extremely cold and indifferent gaze.

Sword spirits are hostile to cultivators, especially those other than the sword master. This can be seen from the fact that after they are contracted, they do not allow anyone other than the sword master to use them.

Oh.

Except for those cheat-like characters like Ye Qinghan.

Perhaps there were simply too many noisy cultivators in the domain. Jun's impatience reached its peak; his pitch-black eyes, devoid of any luster, stared straight at them, eerie and giving the impression that their heads would be severed at any moment.

The female cultivators quickly averted their gazes, noticing Ye Qiao's arrival. They hurriedly asked, "Can you take us away from here?" Whether they wanted to find the Demon Emperor or fight the Demon Lord alone, they only begged Ye Qiao to let them go as soon as possible.

Who would want to go up against a behemoth like the Demon Emperor?!

"It's chaotic outside. Are you sure you want to leave on your own?" Ye Qiao didn't threaten them. Because of her constant approach, the Demon Emperor had already sensed the cultivator's aura and mobilized countless demon beasts to gather around him. The number of demon beasts gathered here was extremely terrifying.

If you let them out, they will definitely be torn to pieces within an hour.

"Within my territory," she paused, then smiled, "it's actually safer than outside, you know?"

Outside, there are indiscriminately attacking monsters, but inside the territory, all living things protect it, so it is temporarily safe.

Furthermore, the field of "All Things Grow" is indeed a healing field. After she is injured, its repair ability becomes extremely fast, so it is not wrong to regard it as a healing type.

After spending half a day safely within the territory, realizing they were finally out of danger, their first instinct was to choose the safest option: to have Ye Qiao quickly lead them away from this dangerous and chaotic center of conflict.

After hesitating for a long time, they said, "We naturally believe your domain is safe, but would you like to reconsider taking on the Demon Emperor one-on-one?"

Although they used to tease these protégés for hogging resources and not doing anything productive, when Ye Qiao was actually with them and preparing to do something big, they felt that it was better not to do anything productive at all.

"Yes, Ye Qiao, if we leave now, none of this will happen."

Their suggestion is sound. People are inherently selfish, and Ye Qiao is no exception. If everyone in the Changming Sect hadn't been involved, leaving her with no chance to escape, who would have come to this place to take the plunge?

Ye Qiao: "I won't leave, but you can choose to leave." She asked kindly, "Does anyone want to leave? I can let you go."

No one spoke up. They weren't stupid; if a massive horde of monsters gathered, they would be torn to shreds if they went out.

Seeing that no one chose to leave, Ye Qiao smiled brightly and promised in a tone that was very trustworthy to cultivators, "You don't need to worry too much about the Demon Emperor holding a grudge against you. I think he probably won't pay any attention to you."

"Why do you dare say that?"

The girls in the area brightened up, immediately defending their idol: "Because the Demon Emperor only chases after Ye Qiao!!"

"..." Ye Qiao was silent for a moment. Although she didn't want to admit it, she was inexplicably hated.

It's not her fault that she always manages to accurately draw the boss's aggro. "When I'm about to be killed, it's not a problem for you to offer some help, right?"

She was granted asylum but given absolutely nothing to do. In these people's eyes, was she some kind of easy sucker to be taken advantage of?

"But, however..." Someone moved their mouth, unwilling to give up, wanting to refute something.

Their highest level is only the Nascent Soul stage, so what help can they possibly provide?

"You're the ones who wanted to come along, and you're the ones who don't want to help." Ye Qiao's smile vanished as she looked at them, her voice still unusually light. "You want to benefit from both sides. Do you think I'm some kind of easy target?"

"How could we dare?" they muttered. Were they joking? Was Ye Qiao an easy target for trickery?

The demonic cultivators and demon kings in the underworld would laugh if they heard that.

They'll laugh really loudly.
