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

"???" Ye Qiao looked at him gesturing for her to come over, and immediately walked over.

Is he trying to give himself a cheat code?

Ye Qiao thought it was unlikely. The cultivation world seemed to follow the principle that a tall building starts from the ground up, and one could only rely on oneself. If she had a powerful backer, would she need to rely on herself?

Many disciples from prominent families possess their own lineages and magical techniques from a young age. Some of these techniques are completely unheard of to those who have never been in contact with such families.

She wouldn't have known there was such a way to draw talismans in the air if Song Hansheng hadn't demonstrated it.

"Want something good?" The patriarch looked at her with a smile.

Ye Qiao nodded quickly.

The patriarch pondered for a moment. He had nothing to give Ye Qiao. After all, he wasn't some kind of old man with a cheat-like ability like in a storybook, and he hadn't expected that the one who found the mark would be such a young disciple. He hadn't even considered preparing any gift. He could only say, "How about I demonstrate the sword technique for you?"

Ye Qiao paused for a few seconds before answering truthfully, "I have already mastered the five forms of the Qingfeng Technique." The patriarch before her seemed to have unleashed that earth-shattering sword strike using the Qingfeng Technique.

But people are different, and Ye Qiao was well aware of her own limitations; she wasn't the founder. Even if someone demonstrated it to her, she wouldn't be able to unleash that earth-shattering sword strike herself.

The sect's founder stared at her silently for a moment, then his voice softened, "Child, you're probably one of the people on whom the sect places high hopes?"

"You mean that?" Ye Qiao hesitated, not understanding what the other party meant.

In fact, which personal disciple isn't someone on whom high hopes are placed?

"Since you know all five moves, practice them repeatedly," he advised. "Sometimes focusing on learning just one sword move can also achieve remarkable results."

[Remember the fastest online novel website: 20 ...

The eldest brother was the most skilled in using the Five Forms of Sword Technique. She and Mu Chongxi only gradually learned it later, so it's hard to say they were truly proficient.

"I understand," Ye Qiao replied, thinking that she would practice the Qingfeng Technique repeatedly later.

So, as expected, one can't expect the patriarch to give anything useful. Ye Qiao waited for a long time but received nothing, so she completely wilted and slowly said, "Patriarch, I won't call you patriarch this time."

"Why?" the patriarch asked with a smile, his good temper evident.

"Because I suffered severe psychological trauma."

The patriarch was unusually silent.

Who on earth taught this good-for-nothing brat?

The Qingfeng Technique is considered a classic of the Changming Sect, but the one who can bring it to its fullest potential is none other than the patriarch before us.

That single sword strike was truly legendary.

"It was probably after you that the sword cultivators of the Changming Sect became known to the world." Ye Qiao finally understood why some people always looked up to sword cultivators with admiration. She spoke with a light and breezy voice, "That sword strike back then became a legend."

After this patriarch, the Changming Sect never produced any more sword cultivators, and was subsequently ruled by the Wenjian Sect for hundreds of years.

When discussing sword cultivators, the Changming Sect is usually overlooked.

He pondered for a moment, "Is that what you all think?"

As soon as Ye Qiao nodded, the Ancestral Master touched her forehead with his fingertip without warning, and a stream of light entered her brow. Ye Qiao was a little confused, but she quickly realized what was happening and closed her eyes. Immediately, an unfamiliar face appeared before her.

She belatedly realized that perhaps the founder wanted her to see the other party wielding the sword.

However, to her surprise, when the patriarch swung his sword, there was nothing thrilling or fancy. With just one strike, the bright light seemed to freeze in the eternal daylight.

The Abyss of Demons was born at that moment.

Hearing and seeing are two completely different things. Ye Qiao was still in a daze for a long time. When she opened her eyes, she heard the gentle voice of the patriarch, "No sword move can be called a masterpiece."

"That only means that no one has done it since me, but there will always be successors."

"Then why can't it be you?"

The patriarch's voice was gentle, filled with the care and encouragement of an elder for a younger generation.

Ye Qiao was genuinely moved: "So the sword you were holding back then really wasn't the Flying Immortal Sword?"

She racked her brains, remembering that the patriarch held a completely silver sword, somewhat like Duan Chen? So it wasn't a flying immortal at all.

"That's not true." He chuckled, not forgetting to give her a few more pointers. "When you have time, you can go back to your sect and carefully study how to use the Qingfeng Technique. As for the demon core issue earlier, if the demon core you have is above the Nascent Soul stage, it's best not to use it for weapon refining. You can try to have the demon beast convert and decompose it yourself, and then absorb the demonic energy inside the demon core."

"Spiritual energy cannot dissolve it."

KFC also tried burning the demon core, but there was no reaction.

Is melting it only possible with the help of a demon beast?

Ye Qiao thought about the demon beasts of the demon race, and finally crossed them out of the options. Demon beasts don't have much intelligence, and it's more practical to target the intelligent demon kings than to expect them to convert demon cores.

"I understand." Ye Qiao clenched her fist, determined to continue wreaking havoc on those demon kings. She waved cheerfully, "Then goodbye, Ancestor."

The patriarch looked at her and thought that this disciple was really pragmatic, without any intention of continuing to exchange pleasantries with him.

The patriarch's figure slowly dissipated. The library had been searched for for several days, and the entire interior had been turned upside down. Ye Qiao was too lazy to clean up, so she took the books left by the patriarch and prepared to study them slowly when she got back.

Before being absorbed into the domain, Lueying asked her excitedly, "Hehehe~ When we really need to use a sword, can we use me?"

"Pick me! Pick me!"

In terms of usage frequency, "Unseen Lord" and "Flying Immortal Sword" are used the most frequently, while "Shadow Strike" is really boring and he also wants to be beaten.

"Okay," Ye Qiao agreed, "but first you have to take human form."

Instead of looking at a sword in its shell and anxiously asking yourself if you can use it.

The Shadow Blade is no beautiful but useless weapon; it is the fastest sword in terms of speed, piercing through opponents before they even have a chance to react.

However, the problem is that without taking human form, its abilities are simply inferior to the other swords.

Lueying said sadly, "Ahhh, I can't just take human form whenever I want. Didn't that senior say it's up to you, not the sword?"

It all depends on the sword master's own burst of power. Who knows, maybe one day Ye Qiao will get excited and be able to transform into human form?

"Then there's nothing we can do." Ye Qiao didn't know how the spirit sword could take human form. She packed up the spirit sword and its spirit, and prepared to go to the demon clan's treasury again sometime. The demon kings didn't care about her. As long as she didn't cause any trouble or take anything from the treasury, the great demons would turn a blind eye.

While retrieving items from the demon clan's treasure pavilion, Ye Qiao strolled around the area and accurately sensed several demon kings above the Nascent Soul stage.

Not many powerful demons remained, but they were all formidable, probably to prevent their home from being raided.

That's quite a comprehensive idea.

The news that Ye Qiao went to the treasure pavilion to retrieve items naturally did not escape the notice of the demon kings. Several powerful demons did not take it seriously, thinking that she was just a country bumpkin. Besides, even if a demon beast did take something, how much could she possibly take?

I wonder if this Demon Emperor has some kind of collecting obsession. When Ye Qiao stepped into the treasure pavilion, she saw several eyeballs sitting there quietly.

The demon beasts had a penchant for eating people and used cultivators as food. They took all the valuables from the cultivators and offered them as tribute to the demon king. She turned her gaze away and filled her domain with everything she could, stuffing her mustard seed bag to the brim.

On the way back, Ye Qiao completely concealed her aura, took out several butterflies from her mustard seed bag, and could hear sounds coming from inside by pinching them with her fingertips. She had previously used this lifelike magical artifact to listen to the movements between several demon kings.

There was no way around it; she was a wanted criminal in the demon race, and it was easy for her to run into trouble if she wasn't careful.

Butterfly, which had been relatively quiet until now, has finally responded.

Ye Qiao heard the two demon kings talking about her when they were together. She tightened her grip on the butterfly slightly, and the voices of the two demon kings came through clearly.

"I heard that the demon emperor went to the treasure vault?"

"Hmm." The unknown demon king's voice was lazy. "Probably just a little demon who hasn't seen much of the world and wants to take something. But it's really strange that he was hiding in the library for several days without a trace, and then went straight to the treasure pavilion after he came out."

They didn't seem like demons at all; they were more like treacherous and cunning humans, specifically referring to Ye Qiao of the Changming Sect.

Calling her a shrew is an understatement.

Upon hearing this, Ye Qiao realized that her purpose might have been too obvious. However, she subconsciously felt that the Demon King was of low intelligence, and she did not expect to be suspected so quickly.

As she pondered, she heard a movement again from inside the butterfly.

As expected, this time it was the Demon King who voiced his doubt.

"Don't you think this little demon, whose name you don't even know if she's real or not, is acting strangely?"

The demonic aura was pitifully weak, but one could still vaguely smell a familiar scent.

The smell was so familiar that the demon kings present couldn't help but feel disgusted. They said it was a familiar smell, but because the demonic energy was too weak, they couldn't quite place it.

The Demon King asked lazily, "You mean, the scent on her is somewhat similar to that of the Demon Emperor?"

Ye Qiaoxin's heart skipped a beat. Looking at the butterfly in her hand, she could determine the exact location of the two demon kings. She breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't want to take action against the demon race unless absolutely necessary. Once a demon king died, they would quickly realize that there was a traitor within the demon race.

"Yes, yes, yes." Reminded by the person, the demon king, who had become suspicious, hurriedly said, "I have a guess, would you like to hear it?"

These words made Ye Qiao clench her fists tighter and tighter, her knuckles turning white. It seemed that she had been suspected. The two demon kings who were chatting were practically revealing her identity directly. She had no choice but to find a way to get the sword spirit to deal with them if things went wrong.

"Shadow," Ye Qiao said in a low voice, "come out."

Lueying moved his sword, but still didn't react at all.

The Shadow Slayer. Very similar to "Never See You".

When Elder Duan took away the five swords in one go, he said that Shadow Strike had a very special quality. Because of its unpredictable speed, it was known for its assassination ability and could take people's lives without them noticing. If you don't want to cause too much of a commotion, it is the best choice to let Shadow Strike take action.

Although Shadow is a legitimate spirit sword, due to its special attributes, it is known for its killing power, just like Unseen Lord.

However, no matter how much she called out, as the last spirit sword that had not yet taken form, he refused to transform and come out to help.

Seeing that she couldn't get the words out, Ye Qiao decided to have Bujianjun take action later.

The Killing Sword leaves behind the aura of the demon race when it is unleashed, and might even be able to frame a group of demons.

The Demon King continued to guess, and the more he guessed, the more Ye Qiao felt she was doomed. The Demon King said seriously, "There is the aura of the Demon Emperor, and we have never seen her before. It just so happens that the Demon Emperor has fallen, and she has appeared suspiciously. I think I probably know who she is..."

The Demon King narrowed his eyes, his aura gradually deepening. This obvious change made the Demon King beside him tense up, feeling that the other party was about to go berserk at any moment. "Is there any possibility?"

Ye Qiao's heart raced, and she quickly prepared to send her sword spirit to deal with the opponent.

We absolutely cannot let him spread the news of his presence among the demons, at least not now.

The great demon revealed a confident smile.

"She is actually—" Ye Qiao, on the other side of the butterfly artifact, clearly heard the other person's voice suddenly become more forceful, reaching a decisive conclusion, "She is the daughter of the former Demon Emperor!"

Ye Qiao: "..."
