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

"It seems the Changming Sect is completely devoid of talent." Seeing the talismans floating around her, the Seventh Elder's eyes flickered, seemingly surprised that this disciple, who had been the first to kneel and submit, had the audacity to stand up: "They actually recruited a talisman cultivator?"

What can a talisman cultivator do?

It's just a death throes.

He couldn't see Ye Qiao's cultivation level, and guessed that this brat might have some kind of technique or spiritual object to conceal his aura and cultivation level.

Ye Qiao made a hand seal with her fingertips and smiled slightly at him.

When the Seventh Elder casually struck down with his palm, he used a teleportation talisman to dodge first.

The overwhelming pressure from the peak of the Fusion Realm caused the ground to shake violently. Countless defensive formations were triggered by his counterattack, and the talismans surrounding Ye Qiao were reduced to ashes one by one under the onslaught of attacks.

Another pale golden giant hand descended from the sky. Ye Qiao waved her hand casually, and a Heaven-grade talisman from the Moon Purity Sect flew out. The defensive talisman transformed into more than a dozen transparent shields that enveloped her and blocked the aftershocks.

This month, Qingzong's defensive talisman is truly top-notch, a Heavenly Grade talisman capable of withstanding combined attacks.

The Seventh Elder narrowed his eyes, intrigued. "Which sect do you belong to?"

How come there's still a trace of the Moon Purification Sect here?

Ye Qiao smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to find out. I'm actually Yun Hen's illegitimate daughter."

"..."

He paused slightly, a long sword appeared in his hand, and he swung it sharply at her.

Clearly, they didn't believe Ye Qiao's casual, fabricated story.

Ye Qiao noticed that he paused for a moment, so she ducked and quickly said, "Really, if you kill me, just wait and see if Yun Hen will take revenge on you."

As he spoke, he dodged the killing move by turning to the side. With the Seventh Elder's sword slashing straight down, the entire Jade Cry Mountain Peak was almost split in two.

day.

So it turns out that the Fusion Stage really can split mountains! I've learned something new. When she undergoes her tribulation, she'll split a mountain for fun too.

……

On the other side, Xue Yu went straight to the library. Upon entering, he was almost stunned by the scene inside. Everyone was unconscious and pale. The only one who was still somewhat conscious was Elder Zhao. He quickly helped him up and distributed the antidote to everyone.

The medicine took effect immediately. As their consciousness gradually returned, Elder Zhao grabbed his wrist, his voice becoming more urgent: "What are you doing here?"

"What about the children?"

There were only his two direct disciples, Ye Qiao and him, present. When Elder Zhao saw Xue Yu appear, his vision blurred and he almost fell to the ground.

It's all over, it's all over.

So only Ye Qiao was left at the scene?

Isn't this the end of the world?

"They're at Jade Cry Peak. Please don't get agitated," Xue Yu said hurriedly. "Ye Qiao is there."

The Fifth Elder coughed, clutching his chest, and said without hesitation, "What use is she?"

Xue Yu: "..."

Junior sister, just how unreliable have you left people with?

Her swordsmanship was clearly quite good, even in the forbidden area.

This is one of the reasons why Xue Yu felt at ease coming.

Even if Ye Qiao is bad at it, she's still better than me.

The battlefield is the domain of sword cultivators, while alchemists, apart from providing resources, seem useless and are indeed no different from trash.

"Quick, quick, go check on them!"

The elders staggered to their feet, nearly driven mad with anxiety.

"Your sect leader's token was taken by the Seventh Elder, wasn't it?" As long as the sect leader's token is in the Seventh Elder's hands, then the Seventh Elder has the right to command them.

The key is that they still have to obey.

Such absolute commands are the most disgusting.

No wonder the Seventh Elder didn't kill them; it turns out he was fearless because he had the token in his hand. As long as he had the token, the Seventh Elder could command everyone except his disciples, and even the Peak Master.

Xue Yu reached out and touched the token that used to hang at his waist, but now it was empty. He nodded with some difficulty.

Elder Zhao slapped him across the face: "Useless good-for-nothing who's more likely to ruin everything."

Xue Yu: "..."

*

Ye Qiao had already distanced herself as far away as possible from the disciples huddled inside the formation. The Seventh Elder's longsword followed closely behind, slashing down at her mercilessly. In an instant, the mountain beneath her feet snapped, and half of her body was lifted into the air, just one step away from falling from the height.

Seeing that she couldn't avoid it, she simply stepped down the rugged mountainside and jumped down, landing quickly with a triple jump. She was very agile. Ye Qiao smiled and said, "Yo yo yo."

"You almost scared me."

The hearts of countless disciples tightened with every move Ye Qiao made, as if they might jump out of their throats at any moment.

But Ye Qiao acted as if nothing had happened.

He can still act shamelessly without batting an eye when facing a powerful being at the peak of the Fusion Realm.

Just kidding, she's someone who's faced off against someone who's undergone tribulation.

How much pressure could a peak-level cultivator exert on her?

Ye Qiao's voice was utterly provocative. The Seventh Elder sneered, a black crescent-shaped blade gleaming with a cold light. "You're still pretty stubborn. I wonder if you'll regret saying such things when you die."

Ye Qiao: "What's there to regret when I'm already dead?"

She's already dead, so she doesn't have time to regret anything. Of course, she'll just chatter away while she's still alive.

The Seventh Elder didn't take her seriously at all, but it was indeed quite annoying to have a little flea jumping around on him. He seemed to have finally become too lazy to waste time with her. The crescent blade was like a scythe, and as it changed in his palm, a huge array rose up.

She seemed to be locked in place, as the array bombarded her like a barrage of bullets.

If Ye Qiao makes even the slightest movement, the formation will move right in front of her the next second; in other words, there's no way to dodge it.

Her expression changed slightly. "Xiao Ai, holy crap. What the hell is that thing in his hand?"

It can actually cast a magic array.

"A magical artifact, similar to Mingxuan and Xie Chuxue's folding fans, with inscribed talismans and formations. I don't see that Jun Nei also has this formation; it all depends on the sword master's mastery. Stop talking nonsense, you son of a bitch! It's coming at me!" Mu Liduo, usually so calm and collected, was now screaming in her mind.

Not only was Mu Li nervous, but everyone else also thought she was doomed.

"Senior Sister Ye!!"

The girl inside the formation screamed.

Ye Qiao did not dodge.

It was as if they had already given up struggling.

Ye Qiao did indeed give up struggling. She didn't think she could escape; the formation was completely locked on.

So, the moment the curse seal within the formation hurtled towards her, everyone below covered their eyes in horror, unable to bear witnessing her fate.

Ye Qiao was indeed no match for this formation; it was too fierce. But if the formation within the Unseen Lord's Palace was similar, then she wouldn't be sleepy anymore.

He took out the Crimson Lotus Cauldron from the mustard seed bag, and gently lifted it into the air, causing the cauldron to suddenly grow larger.

The moment the aura of the magical artifact was released, everyone's expression changed, and they instinctively looked at her.

It should be noted that spiritual artifacts are extremely rare. Apart from swords, which have similar functions, the abilities of other spiritual artifacts are all unique. Among them, the strongest spiritual artifact is the innate spiritual artifact.

It seems that apart from Chengfeng Sect, no other sect in the entire cultivation world has more than three spiritual artifacts.

The disciple who possessed the most spiritual weapons was not one of the Chengfeng Sect members, but Yun Que.

The other person's luck is so good it's almost enviable.

Ye Qiao suddenly piled up the cauldrons, hiding behind them, frantically chanting in her mind, "There's no other way, Red Lotus Cauldron, I'll use you for now."

The other magical artifacts were meant to deal with Yun Que, who was a cheat, and it would be a waste to use them on the Seventh Elder, who was an old fool.

She never forgot that only by defeating Yun Que could she pass the trial.

The curse seals struck the solid Crimson Lotus Cauldron with a dull thud. The lingering chill of the crescent blade spread through her limbs and bones. Ye Qiao dared not peek out to see what was happening outside. The curse seals were incredibly powerful. Unless she broke through them, she would be bombarded relentlessly until she was reduced to mincemeat. The formation would not stop until then.

She had memorized the shape of the formation in just a quick glance.

Drawing talismans in the air, outlining the runes with a single stroke.

The moment the Seventh Elder's curse seal struck, the formation-breaking talisman also took shape at the same time. It shot out of her hand like lightning and collided with the fierce curse seal. In an instant, the two disappeared at the same time.

With a crisp "crack" sound, the Seventh Elder watched helplessly as the array within the crescent blade shattered inch by inch. His usually calm face finally revealed obvious astonishment. He never expected that this brat could break his curse seal.

After all, how many formations could a teenage talisman cultivator possibly understand, no matter how talented he was?

How could she possibly break the formation within her own crescent blade?!

Ye Qiao stood quietly in place, still gripping the wolf-hair brush tightly in her hand, her face expressionless.

He had thoroughly enraged the Seventh Elder.

That's good. The hatred level in the entire arena has been steadily raised, and he probably won't want to cause trouble for those disciples anytime soon.

The time ahead will only get worse for Ye Qiao. Even if the Seventh Elder doesn't take her seriously, she can't tolerate a flea crawling on her body, especially since the Seventh Elder is known for holding grudges.

When the disciples below, who had been cowering and pretending to be dead, saw her still standing there, they all seemed to come alive at once, exclaiming "Holy crap, holy crap!"

Ye Qiao's formation-breaking talisman flew out so beautifully.

"...She...she's a talisman cultivator."

"No, that can't be right. I saw it with my own eyes. She and Senior Brother Xue refined pills together."

"But she is a talisman cultivator!!"

Just as Ye Qiao broke the array, her aura was completely exposed.

A talisman cultivator at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage at the age of nineteen.

This talent is no less than Ye Qinghan's back then, and Ye Qiao is even slightly superior.

"Aren't those people surnamed Ye... different from us normal people?"

"Where did the Seventh Elder's formation come from...?"

A talisman cultivator confidently stated, "It's an array formation from our Changming Sect."

The Seventh Elder also knows some formations that do not belong to the cultivation world, but he cannot set them up. The Heavenly Dao does not allow formations from the Ascension Ground to be used in the cultivation world. Therefore, he can only use the Changming Sect formations that he is most familiar with to make the spell seal.

However, the Seventh Elder did not anticipate that Ye Qiao had already searched through all the books in the Changming Sect's library in order to find out the origin of that ancient formation in the outside world.

No one knows better than her how to deal with any situation.

Half a day has already passed.

In this life-or-death struggle, the Seventh Elder could make many mistakes, but Ye Qiao would be finished if she made even one mistake.

Everyone stopped discussing and held their breath, afraid that their loud breathing might disturb Ye Qiao in the center of the battle.

It has to be said that Ye Qiao's movement skills are really amazing; she always manages to dodge at the very last second.

After several unsuccessful attempts, the Seventh Elder frowned, recalling what had happened earlier in the library. A reckless cultivator had actually sent his consciousness into the library to investigate.

When the Seventh Elder realized what was happening, he intended to crush her divine sense to teach this ignorant disciple a lesson! But to his surprise, the person reacted quickly and swiftly withdrew her divine sense.

The fact that he managed to escape from his pursuit means that the other party's mental strength is no weaker than his own.

Haha, that's interesting.

Seeing Ye Qiao's steady and composed divine sense, he was certain.

So this teenager was the Changming Sect's last trump card?

however.

"Taoist magic can't save the world. At best, it can only buy time." Someone trembled uncontrollably with fear. "Are we going to die here?"

"No, trust Junior Uncle and Senior Brother Zhou!"

"Breaking this formation will allow people from outside to come in."

The problem is...

Who can open it? And who can break it?

Even if it was just stalling for time, she was still incredibly skilled. With a wolf-hair brush, she managed to delay for half a day, driving the Seventh Elder to a frenzied rage and causing him to bombard the entire Jade Cry Peak like a madman, yet she still couldn't even touch the hem of that disciple's robe.

Ahhh.

Seeing that Ye Qiao had skillfully countered every move and almost completely dispelled all the spell seals he could throw, the disciples who had been muttering "Talisman cultivators can't save the world" fell silent. They couldn't help but murmur, "Senior Sister Ye, did she probably search through every book in the library?"

It was able to break through every move of the Seventh Elder.

But that Seventh Elder is a monster who cultivates three things.

The talisman cultivators are very fragile and can only cooperate with the sword cultivators under their cover.

In a one-on-one situation, they would be instantly killed by sword cultivators.

Yet Ye Qiao, without relying on anyone's cooperation, managed to withstand so many moves from a peak-level Nascent Soul cultivator using only a wolf-hair brush.

"So what does this mean...?"

"Nonsense, Ye Qiao is awesome."

They murmured to themselves, "So she really wasn't mentally ill after all..."

All her actions were predictable.

If Ye Qiao hadn't harvested the medicinal herb fields, they wouldn't even be able to gather enough antidotes right now, let alone hide in Yuming Mountain.

If we don't take them away, with the Seven Tigers watching us, everyone will become lambs to the slaughter.

In other words, Ye Qiao isn't mentally ill; they simply haven't kept up with the genius's thought process!
