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

After the demons discussed some pointless topics, the meeting ended hastily. The fact that a demon queen with extremely weak demonic energy and personal strength was pushed forward caused a great stir among the demons, and many demon beasts tried to attack her.

They were all stopped by the other demon kings.

How should I put it? My feelings are quite complicated; it's the first time I've been protected by a demon beast.

Ye Qiao had no place to stay. As a demon emperor who had no real power except for the title, she was arranged to stay in the former residence of the demon emperor. This shows that the demon race's class system is really extremely strict. Even though she was considered weak by all the demon beasts, she had everything she was entitled to except for not being able to give orders.

Back at the Demon Emperor's residence, Ye Qiao set up a soundproof array after ensuring the environment was safe enough, and then quickly went to Xue Yu for help, asking him if there were any major secret realms that were going to open soon.

The third senior brother was the only one among everyone who had memorized all the strategies during the competition.

He had a general understanding of all the secret realms.

As expected, after Ye Qiao asked for help, Xue Yu replied, "The Great Secret Realm? I have some idea about it."

"There's only one major dungeon in the near future: the Cloud and Mist Dungeon."

"There's another explanation," Xue Yu said, tilting his head back slowly, "also called the Vanished Secret Realm."

"What do you mean?"

Xue Yu squinted and thought for a moment: "The precise explanation is that once you go in, you will sever all ties with the outside world. Unless you leave the secret realm, no one will know what happens inside. If you are unlucky enough to die inside, you will truly vanish into thin air, leaving not even your soul behind."

Many disciples of powerful families possess a natal lamp, a soul lamp containing a wisp of divine soul. In case of trouble, it can save them. Some even find the murderer within the divine soul to seek revenge if someone of high status is killed by others.

As its name suggests, once you enter the Cloud and Mist Realm and die, no trace of you will be left.

"What kind of recording stone or jade slip is this?" Xue Yu's lips curled up slightly. "Even those with higher cultivation levels cannot contact the people inside the secret realm from outside."

"This secret realm is a great place to settle scores and settle old scores."

In his opinion, this secret realm shouldn't be called the Cloud and Mist Realm; renaming it the Grudges Realm would be quite nice.

Ye Qiao pondered for a moment and felt that this secret realm was quite eerie. It might be another living secret realm, like a ghost realm. She made a long story short, "A powerful demon is planning to form a group and cause trouble after the Cloud and Mist Secret Realm opens in a few days."

Xue Yu understood immediately, "You mean the demon race plans to release demonic beasts from the Cloud and Mist Secret Realm?"

The monsters in the Great Secret Realm are all very valuable; there are all sorts of high-level monsters, from Nascent Soul cultivators to Deity cultivators.

As the saying goes, Greater Rifts offer more opportunities, and that's roughly the idea.

Each time a major dungeon opens, it contains both magical artifacts and magical beasts.

However, very few cultivators manage to find anything of value in it; it's considered good enough if they manage to return alive from the great secret realm.

Mu Chongxi, who had been eavesdropping nearby, became excited: "If that's the case, can we sneak in beforehand and ambush those powerful demons?"

Ye Qiao honestly replied, "Judging from the fighting strength of the demon race, we might be the ones who were ambushed."

She sensed something was wrong when the Demon King held his meeting. There were seven Nascent Soul cultivators, as well as Void Refinement and Body Integration cultivators. However, the Demon Emperor had been holding them back before, but now that the Demon Emperor was gone, these powerful demons above the Nascent Soul stage were ready to take matters into their own hands.

None of them are easy to deal with.

Mu Chongxi immediately calmed down. "Then how about we ask the seniors for help?"

"If possible, it's best not to involve those seniors; they'll get angry." Ye Qiao understood this after briefly interacting with them. Unless they were completely convinced, they would have no choice but to follow orders.

Zhou Xingyun understood perfectly at this moment.

The young man's voice was cool and indifferent as he interjected, "We're going to play by ourselves? Without them?"

"That's exactly what I mean." Ye Qiao was moved: "You finally understand what we're saying, Senior Brother."

Previously, the senior brother would only silently watch them discuss, which made Ye Qiao always think that the senior brother couldn't understand what they were saying.

"How about we split up?" Ye Qiao, after being touched, continued to talk about serious matters. She was still in the demon clan and couldn't leave at all.

"Let's split up," Xue Yu pondered. "Let Junior Brother and Second Senior Brother go to the Great Secret Realm to see what those demons are up to. Senior Brother and I will stay behind to see if we can help Master and the others. Then you can stay with the demons and see what happens."

Ye Qiao thought this arrangement wasn't bad. "I'll meet you in the Cloud and Mist Secret Realm after I finish my business with the demon clan."

With the Azure Water Sect gone, Xue Yu, the only alchemist among them, is highly sought after. No one else would agree to his departure.

The eldest brother has the Han Guang Shovel, which can be used in many places. Both of them have domains, so they are both suitable to stay on the battlefield.

In conclusion, Mingxuan and Mu Chongxi are the most suitable to enter the secret realm.

"Are you really okay all by yourself in the demon realm?" As a male mother, Zhou Xingyun was still a little worried.

The senior brother was really worried that she would mess things up.

"It's alright. Qin Huai is here to back us up." Putting everything else aside, when it comes to saving people, it's still the weapon cultivators who are the best. Ye Qiao likes to target acquaintances, so if she's really exposed, she can wait for the weapon cultivators to create a miracle.

Speaking of which, Qin Huai must be almost withdrawn by now, right?

That bet turned out to be a terrible loss.

Whether it's skill or intelligence, Ye Qiao completely dominated him.

As if afraid the other party wasn't withdrawn enough, Chu Xingzhi mumbled, "I already told you not to gamble with Ye Qiao. She rarely loses. You cold and emotionless person, are you happy now? You not only lost yourself, but you also dragged the weapon cultivators down with you. Who knows, Ye Qiao might be after those three weapon cultivators."

The three weapon cultivators reacted in surprisingly unison: "Eh? Ye Qiao actually values ​​me that much?"

Chu Xingzhi: "..." Is this even the point?

The fact that the three of them reacted so similarly made Qin Huai even more withdrawn.

Fang Zhiyao: "Hey, Senior Brother, what's wrong?"

"Look!"

Duan Hengdao exclaimed, "My senior brother's head is raining!" How amazing!

Shen Ziwei exclaimed "Damn it!" and quickly grabbed her fan, fanning away the rain clouds above Qin Huai's head. Ye Qiao was truly vicious; she had turned her senior brother into an autistic child.

Qin Huai, an autistic child: "..."

He wiped his face and heard the voice from the other end of the jade slip. The young man calmed down completely: "I understand."

"Is she trying to find someone to cover for her after things fall apart?"

Unfortunately, Chengfeng Sect became the unfortunate ones she found to cover for them.

Monks value their promises; if they lose, they must admit it.

Duan Hengdao didn't care. "Following Ye Qiao is fine too. I think it's safer to be with her anyway. Don't be so withdrawn, Senior Brother."

He was very willing to cooperate with Ye Qiao. "We've been working together for so long, and there have rarely been any unexpected incidents, so you have to trust Ye Qiao, right?"

"I don't believe her at all." Qin Huai looked up from his gloomy state, his expression blank, and said firmly, "She is the biggest surprise."
