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

When Xu Jun, a powerful demon in the Void Refinement stage, slashed down with Ye Qiao's sword, he aimed to catch her off guard.

After all, who would be wary of someone whose spiritual energy is completely depleted from beginning to end?

Even the most cunning and treacherous demons, accustomed to all sorts of conspiracies and tricks, couldn't help but curse under their breath at this sight.

No wonder her spiritual energy had been depleted for so long; it turns out she was waiting for Xu Jun to lower his guard.

The expressions on the faces of the peak masters shifted repeatedly, their emotions varying. "What kind of breakthrough speed is that?"

They were absolutely certain that Ye Qiao was in the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm just a second ago, so how could she have changed so quickly?

"Did Xiao Qiao go from the early to the late stages of the Nascent Soul realm in about six months?"

"No." Elder Zhao said firmly, still vividly remembering the scene when Ye Qiao pointed his sword at the Sword Inquiry Sect's sect leader during his Nascent Soul stage.

In less than half a year, he went from Nascent Soul to late Nascent Soul stage. Elder Zhao suppressed his shock and said, "Make our move and eliminate them within a day."

As a strategist-like commander, Xu Jun's presence was like a pillar of stability. His Flying Immortal Sword slashed swiftly, and heads fell to the ground with a thud. The fierce fighting momentarily paused in everyone's movements.

"kill."

Ye Qiao has already given them the answer; do they still need to ask what to do next?

The great demon from the Demon Abyss is different from ordinary demon cultivators. Even if his head is severed, he can still survive. Ye Qiao did not expect to kill him with one sword, but his head was connected to the core where the demonic energy was located. After being severed, his body crashed to the ground. Taking this opportunity, she went up to finish him off without hesitation.

Xu Jun was absolutely furious; he had been careless!

He knew what had happened on the demon side. After all, the demon emperor had been killed by Ye Qiao. As for internal strife within the demon race, the demon and monster races were on good terms, so it was easy to find out the news with a little inquiry.

He was quite shocked when he received the news. The Demon Emperor had been used as experience points by her domain?

Xu Jun backed out that very day; he couldn't accept the mission. Xu Jun valued his life; even the Demon Emperor couldn't kill Ye Qiao, so he certainly couldn't. However, a powerful demon reassured him, "Don't worry, her domain is temporarily shattered. Do you really think she won't pay some price to kill a Tribulation Transcending cultivator?"

Xu Jun thought about it and agreed.

He came happily.

As it turned out, he was too optimistic.

Ye Qiao's sword strike caught him off guard. By the time he regained his footing, her sword had already struck several times, almost cutting him to pieces. Driven by a strong will to survive, Shao Xujun continuously absorbed the demonic energy from the nearest demonic cultivator to replenish his body.

In the blink of an eye, Ye Qiao threw out a talisman to seal him into the formation. Xu Jun's head had completely healed. He snatched the nearest weapon and fiercely attacked Ye Qiao. His swordsmanship was quite vicious. Anyone who was grazed by the sword energy would have their flesh and bones separated. Ye Qiao had never seen him use a sword before and was caught off guard and suffered a few blows.

Ye Qiao: "Huh? Why are you so irritable?"

Xu Jun attacked her like a madman, but Ye Qiao, forced by the suppression of her cultivation level, decisively weaved through the sky full of white sword light.

Countless sword cultivators from the Changming Sect formed a sword formation, casting a wide array of sword shadows, leaving the weaker demonic cultivators nowhere to hide.

Xu Jun had been dismembered before, but no one had ever managed to cut off his head with a single sword strike in the first move.

He didn't even have time to react, just watching his head fly off. Xu Jun went crazy on the spot. After his body was repaired, he didn't choose to retreat, but instead gave chase.

"Do you think you can be my match, Ye Qiao?"

"Oh, you weren't saying that when I was beheading you." Ye Qiaojian held the sword horizontally in front of him and winked at him.

Beheading is the most damaging to a demon. Xu Jun's speed and reaction time are now far inferior to before. If you kill him a few more times, even a great demon will not be able to live forever.

Xu Jun swooped down towards her.

The two exchanged blows so quickly that Elder Zhao was anxious to step forward, but the peak master calmly spoke up, "Let Ye Qiao try it herself first."

Elder Zhao disagreed, "Are you sure you're sure a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator can fight a Void Refinement stage Great Demon?"

"Didn't she just defeat her in one move?"

That makes sense, but she was benefiting from the initial powerful period after breaking through to a higher realm.

While Elder Zhao was forcibly subdued by the peak master of Fufeng to deal with other great demons, Xu Jun's lips curled into a sinister grin. An unstoppable sword light, wrapped in demonic energy, slashed towards Ye Qiao. His advantage lay in his higher cultivation level, which was a whole major realm higher than Ye Qiao's. This sword strike was difficult to dodge, so Ye Qiao decisively let go. At the same time, a small mountain behind him was blasted into dust.

Xu Jun was genuinely taken aback by how swiftly she threw away the sword, but quickly retorted with chilling malice, "You asked for it, Ye Qiao!"

Xu Jun kicked the Flying Immortal Sword into the air, and the sword light shot into the crowd in the opposite direction. The scorching sword light of the Flying Immortal Sword burned the skin and flesh of countless Changming Sect sword cultivators on the spot, and the disciples in the crowd kept crying out in pain.

This demonstrates the immense power of the Flying Immortal Sword.

The two of them took steps forward and backward simultaneously, and Ye Qiao was stunned for a moment by the sudden scream.

Distraction during battle is a major taboo. Filled with intense killing intent, he relentlessly thrust his sword at her abdomen, only to have it constantly neutralized by the talismanic artifacts at her waist. His lips curled into a cold smile as he thrust his sword in again, simultaneously striking her crown with a palm.

This is a spell seal.

Ye Qiao could almost foresee the horrible sight of his brains splattering everywhere when the curse seal struck his forehead. That would be too terrible.

She couldn't just sit and wait to die, so she immediately shut down her five senses.

In the blink of an eye, the elders prepared to save the day by forming hand seals, but unexpectedly, Ye Qiao closed his eyes at the crucial moment.

Just then, Xu Jun, who was about to kill her, suddenly swerved his hand sharply to the side.

An unformed curse seal dissipated into the air. Xu Jun abruptly released her, his face turning pale as he gasped for breath. His fingers twitched nervously as he stared intently at her. "What are you hiding on you?"

Why did he suddenly smell the Demon Lord's aura?

What the hell is going on now?!

Ye Qiao reacted swiftly, kicking him right in the chest. The spiritual energy of the late-stage Nascent Soul realm struck his toes, sending Xu Jun flying backward and knocking down a large number of people. He struggled to his feet, trembling nervously for a moment. To a demonic cultivator, a Demon Lord was undoubtedly terrifying, and to a Great Demon, it would be even more so. If he hadn't known that the aura didn't belong to Ye Qiao, he would have already been kneeling on the ground, his legs shaking.

"What are you still standing there for? You had such a good chance to kill her!!" The Great Demon was exasperated.

Xu Jun, his face pale, faced Ye Qiao again. The first time, he was too shocked to bring himself to do it, but this time, he calmed down and thought it over, and quickly realized that she had a wisp of the Demon Lord's remnant soul on her.

With so many Demon Lords throughout history, it's unclear which Demon Lord's remnant soul resides within her.

Xu Jun knew he couldn't waste any more time like this.

After calming down and facing Ye Qiao again, Xu Jun noticed a detail he hadn't seen before: Ye Qiao seemed to be waiting for him to make a move before choosing a strategy.

It seems she's familiarizing herself with the Void Refinement Realm in advance through her own efforts?

That's right, Elder Zhao is the only one in the Void Refinement stage of the Changming Sect, but Elder Zhao is not a sword cultivator, so his combat ability is naturally inferior to Xu Jun's.

Who could be as devoted as Xu Jun? He was truly desperate to kill Ye Qiao, his every strike aimed to bring her to her death.

His unpredictable movement technique, during the Void Refinement stage, made his entire body seem to return to a state of nothingness, allowing him to freely access and refine everything around him—it was simply monstrous.

Seeing that the two were locked in a fierce battle and it would be difficult to determine a winner in a short time, Elder Zhao became a little anxious: "Xiao Qiao, come back."

He can't take care of Ye Qiao for a short time while he's fighting the Great Demon.

Struck by the demonic energy, Ye Qiao calmly wiped the blood from her face, her hand reaching for the wolf-hair brush at her waist. "Impossible."

"I'm going to fight this idiot today."

The overwhelming power of the Void Refining technique was no joke. Countless mountains were displaced and roared in. When Ye Qiao touched the wolf-hair brush, she swore that she had never been so fast in her life.

In a second, he unleashed more than a dozen talismans. The dark blue talismans floated in the air, forming an encirclement around Xu Jun. He might be a qualified sword cultivator, but he was definitely not a talisman cultivator.

The formation suddenly contracted, and a large silver snake opened its blood-red maw to bite at his head.

Xu Jun didn't understand formations, so he could only force his way through, wasting a good ten seconds. During those ten seconds, Ye Qiao used her sword to continuously shatter the boulders. With her powerful physical skills and the cover of spiritual energy, she quickened her pace against the raging demonic energy and arrived in front of Xu Jun.

The moment the formation was broken, seeing her getting closer and closer, Xu Jun's heart skipped a beat, and he once again chose to strike first.

Before him surged countless demonic energies in a frenzy. Ye Qiao risked being torn apart as the various magical artifacts he had collected from the demon race were continuously shattered. The sword pierced his heart with unerring accuracy. "Flying Immortal."

She raised her voice and shouted.

The sword spirit of the Flying Immortal Sword merged into the sword, the spirit and the sword became one, and the sword pierced even deeper.

The two fell to the ground almost simultaneously, one after the other. Ye Qiao pressed him firmly to the ground, and under the snow-white sword light of the Flying Immortal Sword, Xu Jun's eyes gradually turned blood red and ferocious. Accompanied by screams, he turned into ashes inch by inch, and his whole body vanished in the violent light.

"Holy crap." Chu Ling was stunned. She couldn't understand battles between those at the Nascent Soul stage and above, but one thing she saw very clearly.

The peak master of Fufeng looked very old and frail. Even when fighting against the great demon, his eyelids were always drooping. But when he saw those dozen or so talismans, his eyelids almost popped open in shock.

"Drawing a dozen talismans in a second???"

Chu Ling murmured unconsciously, "Is Ye Qiao even human?"

Xu Jun lost completely because he didn't understand talismans. But no one could have imagined that someone could throw out more than a dozen talismans in a second to form an array.

"It's obvious." Yue Qing'an said calmly, her tone slightly sarcastic: "Ye Qiao is not human." Yue Qing'an had always felt that this personal disciple was definitely different from the others, and sure enough, from the moment they met, she was completely different from the self-disciplined and proper personal disciple she had imagined.

Before Ye Qiao could even catch her breath, she heard the two talking. She sheathed her sword, looked at Yue Qing'an, and said with a forced smile, "Hey, Yue Qing'an, who are you calling not human?" Yue Qing'an's tone just now was definitely sarcastic.

"I said Ye Qiao isn't human." Yue Qing'an blurted out, but when he met Ye Qiao's cold gaze, he remained calm and quickly added, "A celestial maiden descended to earth."
