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

The demon race held a meeting, and all those present were groups of demon kings. Ye Qiao pulled two children and sat quietly in a corner, observing each demon king and matching them with the characteristics she had found in the book.

The young prince appeared extremely nervous as he blended into the demon race. "Ye Qiao, Ye Qiao, how many demon kings' realms can you see through?" He couldn't see through any of them, which meant that all the demon kings were at the Nascent Soul stage, or even higher.

"Seven."

This means that there are seven people at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, and the rest are all at the middle stage or above, or even at the Refining Void and Body Integration realms.

The young prince shuddered. Wasn't that like walking right into a wolf's den? For a cultivator like her to sneak in was practically suicidal.

"Will we make it back alive?"

Ye Qiao: "Don't worry, there won't be any problems. If all else fails, we'll wait for Qin Huai to come and rescue them." The five disciples of Chengfeng Sect, based on their combat strength, are no match for Wenjian Sect, but they have more weapon cultivators and two sword cultivators, so rescuing people or intercepting them shouldn't be a problem.

"Are you really that confident you can get everything done in half an hour?"

She couldn't reach the battle scene in half an hour. Where could she end the battle between her disciples and the demons?

Ye Qiao truly felt sorry for the young prince's intelligence. "Then do you think that, given the speed of Junior Uncle and those seniors, they wouldn't be able to get there in half an hour?"

Just kidding, half an hour is enough time for Xie Chuxue and the others to arrive. As for those seniors rescued from the Demon Abyss, since they are all seniors who have come out of seclusion from various aristocratic families, at least their grandfathers' generation had strength starting from the Nascent Soul stage.

With one cultivator at the Fusion stage and several senior cultivators who are at least at the Nascent Soul stage, how could they not handle it? If they can't, they might as well start over; the cultivation world has no future.

"But the demon race has a lot of people. Although they are not of high quality, they have a lot of people."

"Even if Junior Uncle and the others can't handle it, weren't there still people we rescued from the dungeon before?" Ye Qiao hadn't forgotten their promises. She wagged her finger. "I don't know what the chances are of them digging up their ancestors to help us, but surely there has to be at least one person among so many who keeps their word?"

"With so many powerful people and the assistance they called in, half an hour should be enough to temporarily settle things."

The problem lies in the lack of unity among cultivators. Many powerful figures are indifferent to matters that don't concern them, as their primary concern is ascension. Many are stuck in their bottlenecks, fearing that if they are a step too late in breaking through, they will die of old age. They have no time to get involved in these matters.

Furthermore, cultivators value their promises, and they owe the Changming Sect a favor. A group of second-generation immortals, along with their elders, would be enough to deal with a group of demonic cultivators.

So no matter how you look at it,

She will win the bet with Qin Huai.

It wasn't that she specifically targeted Qin Huai; she enjoyed tormenting Ye Qinghan and Song Hansheng, but since the two were used to being tricked, they obviously wouldn't take her bait. So, it could only be Qin Huai, the curious one.

"He can only blame his excessive curiosity; why did he suddenly pick up on that conversation and question me about why?"

If he hadn't asked, nothing would have happened.

Ding--

The young prince suddenly realized, "So being too curious can lead to encountering bad people!"

The villain Ye Qiao: "..."

"Don't talk to me like that." Ye Qiao pinched his cheek. "I'm not some kind of devil."

The young prince frowned, looking sullen from being pulled.

The demon kings were having a meeting, but it looked more like a full-blown brawl to determine a new demon emperor. Ye Qiao quite enjoyed watching this dog-eat-dog spectacle. She held her two children and watched intently as they fought each other.

To avoid being caught in the aftermath of the battle, Ye Qiao used a concealment technique to minimize her presence. At the same time, she chose an excellent viewing spot, landing on a stone pillar to watch their duel from the highest point.

The battle between demonic beasts was undoubtedly bloody. When she arrived at the scene with the Silent Demon, she was already almost in a killing frenzy. The Silent Demon itself had no presence and could easily hide in the night.

Ye Qiao's demonic aura was so faint as to be almost imperceptible that she attracted no one's attention, which allowed her to continue to happily fish in troubled waters.

However, when people are too idle, they always seem out of place. Ye Qiao was idly holding two children when someone suddenly noticed her.

His gaze fell directly on Ye Qiao, who was sitting on the stone pillar.

Her height allowed her to look down on everyone, which displeased one of the demon kings: "Get down here." How dare she look down on him.

Ye Qiao didn't move.

With a roar from the demon king, other demon kings noticed Ye Qiao, who was taking advantage of the chaos. One of the demon kings disappeared for a second and then reappeared behind her, pouncing down and knocking Ye Qiao down from the height.

"Get down."

Want to sit back and watch the tigers fight?

Think beautifully.

Ye Qiao, relying on her precognitive inheritance, dodged an attack in advance and landed steadily. However, a second after she landed, she was in the midst of the demon kings, and in an instant, all the demon kings stared at her.

Ye Qiao, who was being stared at by all the demon kings: "..."

Why are you looking at me? Keep fighting.

Ye Qiao's nose twitched slightly, and she could keenly sense the bloody and stench around her. She landed in the group of monsters and remained motionless, appearing to pose no threat whatsoever.

"You're here to compete for the position of Demon Emperor too?"

Many demon kings laughed, and they laughed very loudly.

Ye Qiao: "..."

They mocked her, fine, but some of the more unscrupulous demon kings even attacked her. Ye Qiao could only continue to dodge. Her injuries were all barely healed with pills. To be honest, she didn't have her domain as a trump card to fight them seriously.

Ye Qiao had no choice but to run away at this point.

Seeing Ye Qiao being chased and running away with her head in her hands by several demon kings, KFC and the little prince were questioning their existence.

Seriously??

How could it have gotten this bad in such a short time?

Did Ye Qiao come to the demon race just to be chased around by several demon kings?

Ye Qiao noticed their confusion and dragged the two children along, saying, "What kind of looks are you giving me? I'm not a god. What can I do if I can't win a fight except run away?"

These demon kings are not the weak ones on the battlefield before; they are genuine powerful demons, with several possessing strength above the Quasi-God Transformation level. She had just finished dealing with the Demon Emperor, and her domain was shattered. Where would she get the ability to fight against so many demon kings?

"So, are we just going to keep running like this?"

There's absolutely no point in having the demon race here.

Could it be that she's planning to become a spy? To monitor the demon race's movements and relay messages to the cultivators?

The two dim-witted mythical beasts thought for a long time but still couldn't figure out her purpose.

After Ye Qiao was forcibly pulled into the water, she couldn't even catch a fish. While the great demons were fighting, she would occasionally sidle up behind them and say something provocative.

For example, "I think xxx is stronger."

"It seems like xxx is more capable than you."

Her tone was exaggerated, completely devoid of skill and utterly full of emotion, infuriating the other demon kings. The key point was that Ye Qiao wasn't lying; the names she mentioned were all those of the various demon kings she had met in the library.

There were indeed demon kings with these names at the scene.

Terrible memory.

Ye Qiao's instigation by Kuku made the already intense battle even more chaotic, with the ground rapidly disintegrating and collapsing. Countless waves of magma surged in from the center of the demon kings, and sharp beast cries and carnage filled the scene.

The demon race is not very intelligent to begin with.

This time, they were truly manipulated with just a few words.

After Ye Qiao sowed discord, she watched them fight with great intensity, but she was still not quite satisfied. There were only a few people with the highest combat power among the demon race, and it would take at most ten days to determine a winner before a new demon emperor would emerge.

Moreover, monsters are all thick-skinned and tough, so you can't kill them by fighting like that.

Seeing that they were going to continue wasting time playing like this, Ye Qiao quickly prepared herself mentally and had no choice but to leave the field.

The young prince's eyes lit up. She's here! She's finally ready to bring her pyramid scheme to the scene.

"I think that if our goal is to occupy the cultivators' territory, then this civil war is actually meaningless."

The scene was a chaotic battle, making Ye Qiao, a demon who was slacking off behind a stone pillar, stand out. A demon king heard her speak, turned his head, glanced at her briefly, noticed her faint demonic aura, and casually asked, "What are you trying to say?"

This demon king probably had some strength, at least some say in things. After he spoke, many demon kings stopped fighting and stared at her dangerously with their beastly eyes.

Ye Qiao: "..."

She said, "Then, shall I say a few words?"

"speak."

The other person smiled and uttered a single word, their voice chilling: "If you don't speak well, you're finished."

Tsk tsk tsk. Ye Qiao hadn't heard such a direct threat in a long time; even the Demon Emperor had never spoken to her like this.

"Instead of fighting to the death here, let's pick someone easier to deal with." Ye Qiao braced herself against the ground to avoid a demon king's attempt to pounce, and continued, "Fighting like this is just a waste of time and a pure internal drain."

"So what brilliant idea do you have?" asked the demon king, who had been the first to let her speak.

In his eyes, Ye Qiao was already a demon who couldn't be weaker than she could be, and she showed no intention of intervening at all, so it was clear that she wasn't very interested in the position of Demon Emperor. So, listening to her talk wasn't a bad idea.

Ye Qiao guessed that this demon king was probably a strategist within the demon race. She lowered her eyes and cautiously replied, "How about a temporary truce?"

The demon king seemed to be deep in thought, "...But as long as the demon race is without a leader, we will not obey anyone's orders. At that time, the demon race will only be more chaotic than it is now."

The monsters themselves are of low intelligence. Without a demon emperor, they would be completely chaotic, without any order or restraint. Only annihilation awaits the monster race.

In other words, a demon emperor must be chosen.

"Then let's just choose one that's easy to control," Ye Qiao suggested casually. "We can start the internal war slowly after we defeat the cultivators."

After she made this suggestion, the demon king glanced at her up and down repeatedly. "You mean we can wait until we finish fighting the cultivators before starting our civil war?"

"That's what I mean." Seeing that they were no longer trying to attack her, Ye Qiao loosened her grip slightly, but still held a defensive talisman to prevent any demonic beasts from sneaking up on her. "Once we've finished our internal war, it'll be too late."

It will take at least ten days for the demon beasts to fight for the Demon Emperor. Such a long period of infighting will definitely deplete their fighting strength.

It would be better to choose a puppet demon emperor.

Her words won over the demon kings.

Puppets are great, puppets are wonderful.

The problem is, since they are all demons of similar level, where can we find a puppet that is not a hindrance and is harmless?

There are many weak demon kings among the demon race, but intelligent ones are hard to find. After all, a demon emperor must have some intelligence, otherwise he will only lead them to their doom.

Ye Qiao didn't make it clear, so whether or not they could comprehend it depended on the reaction speed of these demon kings.

Who is the most suitable?

Too much ambition is no good, too much strength is no good, and too little intelligence carries the risk of leading the demon race to its destruction. In the eyes of the simple-minded demons, Ye Qiao, who could utter such exceptionally "philosophical" words, instantly became the focus of attention.

All the demon kings unanimously focused their attention on Ye Qiao, who had the weakest demonic aura at the scene.

"What's your name?"

Ye Qiao said in a serious tone: "The dog is in the sky."

Oh.

It's a dog demon.

It has to be said that among a group of various demonic beasts in human form, her simple and unpretentious nature is quite rare.

And the dog is amazing, it's the most obedient.

"I admit you have a point."

"Then, how about you become the Demon Emperor?" The Demon King who had spoken to her first smiled at her, leaning slightly forward. His beastly eyes gleamed with laughter, yet still couldn't conceal the icy coldness within. "If you agree, we will support you as the new Demon Emperor."

As he pressed down on her body, Ye Qiao could feel the pressure tilting towards her shoulders. Her knees bent for a moment due to the forced pressure, but Ye Qiao straightened up little by little, and the sound of bones twisting under the powerful pressure was heard.

KFC covered his eyes and began to mourn for the other party.

It wasn't for Ye Qiao, but for this demon king.

This demon king was clearly trying to intimidate Ye Qiao with his power, but he miscalculated one thing: Ye Qiao was never one to suffer a loss. Later on, this demon king would probably be in for a lot of trouble.

Ye Qiao had experienced this skillful manipulation of intimidation no less than seven or eight times. Her cultivation level was considered above average among the demon kings, and coincidentally, the demon king in front of her was of a higher cultivation level than herself.

Hesitating at this point would be too fake. Ask any demon, who wouldn't want to be the Demon King? Ye Qiao's acting skills were really lacking; she didn't bother to hide it, admitting it decisively and answering calmly, "Of course."

Suppressing her excitement, Ye Qiao's eyes crinkled into a smile as she uttered a few motivational words, "I will lead you to the peak."

"Ha." A demon king sneered.

There's no need for her to reach the top, because nobody cares about her anyway.

The demon kings present thought she was right. They all wanted to end the civil war and find a demon king they could easily control to end the infighting for the time being.

We can fight it out to the death after this is all over.

And this one called Gou Zaitian... Oh. Let's ignore her messy name for now; she has the weakest demonic aura and the least ambition among those present.

Who else could be such an easy puppet to manipulate?
