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

It's number one.

She truly deserves the title of number one.

But in this world, Ye Qiao is clearly nothing.

The little girl blinked, seemingly realizing that the question was somewhat sensitive, and out of consideration for her feelings, she didn't press the matter further.

Mu Li in Ye Qiao's mind couldn't help but scoff twice: "You still want to protect this burden?"

Ye Qiao: "Of course I'll bring it. It was assigned by the elders, and everyone else brought theirs too."

"So you all have families to support? Several burdens for each of you?" He almost sneered out loud.

The demons prioritize their own interests and do not understand the righteous way of doing things. They only find it extremely hypocritical, believing that only the strongest deserve to live.

This is a matter of different perspectives between the two paths. Ye Qiao did not refute it, but only said, "They are hope."

The new generation of disciples represents the new hope and future of the Changming Sect.

In the original story, the Changming Sect suffered heavy casualties, with many elders choosing to self-destruct in order to protect their disciples.

Even if some elders in a major sect are unreliable, as elders, they will still protect the disciples who are not yet grown up. When Ye Qiao first came to Changming Sect, she was also protected and grew up. Now, it is her turn to protect others.

Mu Li sneered, offering no reply, and instead continued to conserve his energy. Given Ye Qiao's reckless nature, she was certain that this trial would not be peaceful for her.

After being killed the first time, Heaven allowed her to start over. That was only because she didn't interfere too much with the plot, which allowed her to start over within the rules. Otherwise, when she was struck by Zhou Xingyun the first time, her trial would have already meant failure.

She has now interfered with the so-called plot, or in the terms of the cultivation world, the rules. If she dies during the trial, then the entire tribulation trial will be a complete failure.

Mu Li planned to rely on her to help him ascend to immortality.

He believed that although he disliked this sleazy righteous disciple, he had given her a lot of guidance.

Although Ye Qiao had a high sense of morality, she was not as righteous as Ye Qinghan, who hated evil and wished to kill the demons as soon as possible.

Therefore, she wouldn't do anything to herself, so Mu Li wouldn't mind helping her out.

"I'll help you if necessary."

Ye Qiao was flipping through the book when she heard this. She looked up and said with a hint of surprise in her voice, "Thank you so much, Xiao Ai."

She knew that Mu Li wouldn't do anything without a reason, and his willingness to help her was simply to make her remember his kindness.

That doesn't matter.

Mu Li is a demonic cultivator who ascended to immortality in the first generation. He must be strong. If he is willing to help me, then my bargaining power and chances of winning will increase even more.

This expression of gratitude is heartfelt.

Mu Li snorted.

People's joys and sorrows are not the same. While a group of people in the sect gathered in the library to browse books, it was lively outside the sect, where all the disciples gathered together to watch a grand show.

Xie Chuxue waved her hand and released Mu Chongxi and Zhou Xingyun back into the wild.

He faced off alone against the enraged Ghost King of the Ghost Realm who had come to kill him.

"I was unaware that the Ghost King had come from afar. I have failed to greet you properly."

With a smile on his face, he swayed slightly and brushed past the Ghost King.

The ghostly aura surged in like a tidal wave, carrying a sinister atmosphere and bone-chilling cold. Xie Chuxue twirled her folding fan at her fingertips, and the Flowing Light Fan transformed into a barrier to block the attack from behind.

Xie Chuxue remained calm and composed, continuing her conversation with the Ghost King, "What brings you to Changming Sect?"

"Where did your Changming Sect hide Little Magpie?"

The man exuded a chilling aura, and his hands were filled with ghostly energy, radiating murderous intent.

Xie Chuxue waved her folding fan, exuding an exceptionally elegant and refined air, and laughed, "We didn't hide her away, you know."

"Maybe she just doesn't want to see you."

The Ghost King clearly couldn't listen to human speech.

He had tried to explain his previous rebirths, but eventually discovered that ghosts were extremely stubborn and extreme, and once they made up their minds, they would not easily change them.

Then we have no choice but to fight.

"impossible!"

"How is that impossible?"

"Since you say you didn't hide her, then where is she?"

Xie Chuxue did not answer; Yun Que was obviously near Changming Sect.

Yun Que clearly understood that the disciples of Changming Sect were all quite strong and had a good impression of her, so they could protect her even if something happened. However, Yueqing Sect was different. Yun Hen did love her, but if he knew that she had attracted so many evil spirits, he would not forgive her easily.

The group of gay men from Chengfeng Sect never paid any attention to her flirtatious advances, and she dared not let Ye Qinghan know that she had messed up.

That leaves only the Changming Sect.

Xie Chuxue dared not tell him his location, lest he go insane and implicate innocent people.

This wasn't unprecedented in her previous life. These powerful beings, in their madness, cared nothing for the lives of ordinary cultivators. It was like a natural disaster sweeping across the entire foothills of Changming Sect, and even the city. To ensure the safety of those ordinary cultivators, Xie Chuxue had no choice but to hurry and kill him.

"Can't say anything, huh?" He said, his face dark and his expression sinister. "Then prepare to die."

Without a word, Xie Chuxue flashed by, activating the array in all directions, and dragged him into another space.

A battle between two beings at the Fusion Stage would inevitably be earth-shattering. To avoid involving others, fighting in space would be the most suitable option.

Meanwhile, things were also quite lively. Just as Yun Que was hurriedly riding the Azure Phoenix, preparing to seek help from Mu Chongxi of the Changming Sect, the other disciples received a very strange message one after another.

Ye Qiao had timed it perfectly and sent the jade slip from her senior brother, intending to have all her disciples send messages to enjoy the spectacle of catching the adulterer.

The Changming Sect desperately needs external assistance, but the problem is that the five sects do not get along well. In addition, the sect is locked up by an array, and the other sects are unaware of what has happened, so naturally they will not send anyone to check.

This led to other sects being alerted only after several elders began to self-destruct, prompting them to send reinforcements.

Ordinary news naturally wouldn't be able to summon those busy, spinning-top-like messengers.

But the eldest disciple is different; he holds a very high position among the direct disciples, second only to Ye Qinghan.

Ye Qiao then simply lay down on the floor of the library, took Zhou Xingyun's jade slip, and sent a message to all the disciples except for Yueqingzong.

"Come to Changmingzong and bring me some paper."
