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

Ye Qiao held her breath and saw an unidentified creature hanging upside down on a beam running across the library.

The other person was staring at her intently, his eyes well hidden in the night, silent and undetectable, blending seamlessly into the darkness. If Ye Qiao's cultivation level hadn't been slightly higher than his, she wouldn't have been able to detect him at all.

Ye Qiao got goosebumps instantly.

While researching books and materials, she also chatted briefly with the KFC prince.

Because she possessed a demon core at the Tribulation Transcending stage, Ye Qiao casually looked up the uses of demon cores. The book recorded that many artifact cultivators used demon cores to improve the quality of their magical artifacts, and that some demon beasts broke through their cultivation levels by devouring their own kind. However, it didn't mention a single word about what effects a divine beast cub might have after being devoured.

After all, throughout the thousands of years of cultivation, there has never been a case of a divine beast devouring a demon pill.

Ye Qiao almost considered swallowing it herself to see the effect, regardless of the consequences.

Her current cultivation level is at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, which is a long way from the Void Refinement and Integration realm.

Wanting to participate in the battles of powerful beings, Ye Qiao at least raised her cultivation level to the Refinement of Emptiness realm. She pinched the Demon Emperor's inner core between her fingertips. The demon race was vying for the position of Demon Emperor, and she wanted to see if she could use this demon core to fabricate a colossal lie within a limited time.

"Can I swallow it?" Ye Qiao still wanted to try swallowing the demon core whole.

As for the consequences? Either she dies, or the entire cultivation world dies.

"Calm down, Ye Qiao," KFC whispered to her. "Demon energy is different from spiritual energy. It can really kill people." Even a mythical beast like KFC wouldn't dare to try it lightly.

"Actually, it's not necessarily a matter of dying." When Chu Xing asked her what Heaven had given her, Ye Qiao didn't answer him. There was indeed something in Heaven's blessing.

And in fact...

"That day, when I had just broken through to the Nascent Soul stage and passed the trial, while receiving the blessing," Ye Qiao said slyly to the two little divine beasts after a long pause, "I saw the Heavenly Dao."

Then she was pleased to see the word "horror" on the faces of the two mythical beasts.

"???"

"what?"

"Really?"

"You're still alive?"

The two children reacted in an exaggerated way, and Ye Qiao patted their heads: "What are you doing? Heaven isn't some kind of murderer. It's not like you'll die if you just look at it."

"What did the Taoist priest look like that day?"

Ye Qiao shook her head: "I don't remember." Or rather, the Great Dao is formless, and she truly didn't see the other person's appearance clearly. But that's not important. The point is, she was dragged by the Heavenly Dao to save the world.

Ye Qiao wanted to curse at that moment. After all, she was perfectly fine in the modern world, and suddenly she was dragged into the world of cultivation with swords and shadows. Anyone would want to curse.

She didn't communicate much with the other party; she only saw a faint phantom of the Heavenly Dao flash through the blessings before disappearing.

Before it dissipated, Ye Qiao asked, "What do you want to do with me?"

What did that dog, Tiandao, say again?

She was its chosen savior.

Screw your savior! Is this how it treats its savior? It seems to want to kill itself?

However, after calming down a bit, Ye Qiao quickly realized that Heaven had already given its answer. Savior? You must be joking.

Is Heaven's inaction a pretext for her to save the world as a modern-day office worker?

Life is so boring! The corporate slave is saving humanity!

Ye Qiao prepared to use her most familiar method. She was quite certain that Heaven had no ability to pull one more person back. Since that was the case, she decided to proceed.

If things go wrong, it's either her death or the entire cultivation world's demise.

Ye Qiao was about to put the demon core in her mouth, but before she could do so, she suddenly caught sight of a pair of dark eyes hanging from the roof beam in the shadows. She was so stunned that she almost smashed the book on its head.

Finally, Ye Qiao, relying on her strong willpower, forcefully suppressed this impulse, leaped backward, and avoided the unknown attack.

Are you sick?

They attacked her for no reason.

A string of sounds fell continuously, tearing everything in front of her into pieces. Ye Qiao could only retreat backward until the attack stopped at her feet. She didn't dare to relax, her fingertips gripping the defensive talisman, afraid that this unknown creature would slash her twice more.

Before Ye Qiao could even ask a question, the unidentified creature hanging upside down, expressionless, coldly preemptively asked her, "Who are you?"

At the same time, Ye Qiao was also wondering which demon king disliked her.

She clearly heard the sound of the strings, which meant the other party was skilled in sonic attacks? Bats? Or birds?

This upside-down posture is rather eerie. What kind of monster has become a spirit? She remembered that the Monster Records contained a description of a beast named Ji.

Silent and undetectable in the darkness, a faceless creature that can use various musical instruments as weapons.

That's pretty perverted.

The demonic beasts were already monstrous, but the demon king, transformed into human form, would only be more troublesome. Ye Qiao didn't want to confront him, so she showed no intention of attacking from beginning to end. This show of weakness pleased the demon king. Ji descended from the roof beam, landing silently, his voice chilling and reminiscent of some creature lurking in the shadows, "The demon kings are all in a meeting. Why aren't you gathering? What are you doing in the library?"

Ye Qiao suppressed the urge to gasp. She never imagined her luck would be so bad; she'd stumble upon love while researching something.

And they had been being watched by this unknown creature for an unknown period of time.

It's just like a scene from a horror movie.

"I'm coming right now." After realizing that the demon king had no intention of continuing to attack, Ye Qiao relaxed her tense body slightly, quietly put the encyclopedia of demon kings in her hand into her storage bag, and breathed a sigh of relief. She thought that the demon king had noticed something was wrong and that's why she was attacked.

Ji felt that she was a bit strange, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what was wrong. He had been in the library for decades and had never seen a monster turn the pages of a book.

He was naturally not happy to see an uninvited guest suddenly barge in.

The demon beasts were stupid, and the demon king's thinking was easy to understand. Ye Qiao vaguely realized that her existence was in his way, which was why the demon king attacked her.

Even though she understood, it didn't stop her from refusing to suffer the consequences of being intimidated.

"May I bring them both into the meeting?" Ye Qiao asked with a smile, presenting one of the mythical beasts in each hand to Ji.

The aura emanating from the dragon and phoenix caused the demon king's knees to buckle suddenly.

With a "thud," he knelt down without warning.

"???"

Ji was a little confused. She looked at the two children in her arms, stood up from the ground, and said, "It's nothing."

No sooner had he finished speaking than KFC unleashed another wave of oppressive force upon him.

With a bang, it blossomed a second time.

She played with the little prince and then pressed him down, repeating this process over and over again, filling the quiet study with the sounds of him kneeling.

Seeing the other person kneeling with each step, Ye Qiao suppressed the smile on her lips, her face expressionless, and asked with feigned concern, "Are you alright?"

"It's nothing." Ji probably felt embarrassed too. His voice was cold and sinister. His faceless face was facing Ye Qiao, which made people feel inexplicably uneasy. He could sense that something was wrong. He had never encountered such a strange situation before. He suspected that this demon king he had never seen before was the culprit, but he could not find any evidence.

Fearing she might really provoke him, Ye Qiao nudged KFC and Ao Li, and only then did the two obediently suppress their auras.

The great demon quickly stood up, his cold eyes sweeping over her. "Let's go, to the meeting."

"Okay." Ye Qiao readily agreed and followed behind the other party, acting as an honest follower, perfectly blending into the group of demon kings.

KFC was led by her in a daze and followed behind the Demon King. Thinking of his other disciples who were in dire straits, and then looking at the leisurely Ye Qiao, his brain completely shut down.

...So Ye Qiao's path is different from everyone else's, isn't it?!

……

In fact, Qin Huai himself felt that he was sure to win the bet between Ye Qiao and Qin Huai.

Will it end in half an hour?

She said it was over, and it's over?!

Who do you think you are?

Even Song Hansheng, who witnessed the whole thing, didn't believe it.

Why did Ye Qiao have to provoke Qin Huai?

Is it because she's a really despicable person? But in this serious situation, it's unreasonable to target someone for no reason. After all, in Song Hansheng's impression, she really doesn't do anything without a profit.

After ruling out the possibility that she disliked Qin Huai very much, Song Hansheng was inclined to believe that she had ulterior motives.

Mu Chongxi curled his lips, dodging the demonic cultivator's blades as he walked to Qin Huai's side. "Why are you making such a pointless bet with my junior sister? You can't win anyway."

Ye Qiao doesn't guarantee a win, but she rarely makes a mistake.

"Aren't you curious about what she's doing in the demon realm?" Qin Huai asked incredulously. He had bet with Ye Qiao that if he won, Ye Qiao would reveal her whereabouts and purpose.

Mu Chongxi: "Why would I be curious about this?"

He didn't care, "Junior Sister will tell us later anyway." Mu Chongxi wasn't actually very curious; in the team, he was always the one who got carried along. He left the thinking to Xue Yu and Ye Qiao.

Mu Chongxi knew that Qin Huai was exceptionally competitive, but he really hadn't realized that Qin Huai was also such a curious person.

"Since you two have both placed bets, what about the others?"

"Anyone want to place a bet? Place your bet now." Mu Chongxi raised his voice, interrupting his disciples who were focused on dealing with the demonic cultivator.

His shout drew everyone's attention.

"Who made the bet? What were they betting on?"

"Ye Qiao and Qin Huai".

"Oh." The disciple asked curiously, "What did Ye Qiao bet on?"

"She bet that the battle will end in half an hour. Qin Huai doesn't believe in such superstitions. Do you want to place your bets?"

Fighting and killing can be quite boring sometimes. They can't handle high-level demonic cultivators, so they hand them over to the elders and seniors. They don't really care about a group of demonic cultivators who rush to their deaths. Having dealt with demonic cultivators for many years, they know their tricks very well and there are very few demonic cultivators who can hurt them.

They guessed that the Demon Lord might be using this method to buy them time before causing further trouble.

Therefore, looking at the large number of demonic cultivators on the scene, it seemed impossible that half an hour was enough.

"Reason tells me it's impossible." Fang Zhiyao paused, her voice shy, "But I follow my heart, my heart tells me I choose Ye Qiao."

Duan Hengdao shook the traitor frantically, yelling, "Shut up, you traitor!"

Noticing her senior brother's somewhat gloomy expression, Shen Ziwei smiled knowingly and said, "It's alright, senior brother. I'll help you look down on Ye Qiao. I support you."

After a pause, meeting the unfriendly gazes of the Changming Sect members, Shen Ziwei quickly changed her tune and whispered to her senior brother, "We can actually secretly despise her, but we shouldn't do it openly. I'm worried they'll beat me up."

"..."

"Then I'll bet on Qinhuai?"

"Actually, it doesn't matter whether she's here or not, right? Aren't we doing just fine without her?"

"That's right, that's right."

As for who wins and who loses this bet, we'll find out in half an hour.

The other veterans, sharp-witted and quick-witted, couldn't help but be curious as they listened to their chattering mentors.

So this seemingly chaotic discussion, with people saying it doesn't matter whether she's there or not, is actually still the main stage for Ye Qiao's personal disciple, isn't it?

Every sentence and phrase invariably mentions Ye Qiao.

"Which sect does Ye Qiao belong to?" an old man cleared his throat.

Duan Yu: "My disciple."

"Then why didn't she come to help?"

Duan Yu paused, then said, "...This." Little did he know that Ye Qiao never consulted with them; this brat was always acting on a whim.

However, Duan Yu had enough experience to deal with these things, and he said calmly, "Speaking of which, Xiao Qiao is still the number one among the Five Sects today."

"First place?" The senior, who had initially seemed somewhat dissatisfied, paused. "Alright then." It's fine.

The cultivation world is very tolerant of those who excel, which is why everyone wants to be number one.

They were also quite curious about why Ye Qiao was so sure that it would end in half an hour.

Time passed second by second.

Qin Huai kept checking the time; it would be a lie to say he didn't care about winning or losing. The young man's competitive spirit reached its peak at the moment the two were gambling.

After all, no matter how you look at it, he's the winner of this bet, isn't he?
