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

The moment I never saw you turn into a sword.

Everyone turned to look at the magical artifact in Ye Qiao's hand.

Yes, it is a magical artifact. From its appearance, it looks ordinary and doesn't even have the slightest aura of a magical artifact. However, when it changes shape, the aura of a magical artifact is revealed without a doubt.

Was that stick actually a magical artifact?

Yun Que gripped the Luoshui Sword tightly, her knuckles turning slightly white from the force. Her expression was tense, and she was slightly wary.

I have never seen such a strange magical artifact before.

Yes, spiritual artifacts. At this moment, no one was even thinking about spiritual swords.

Yun Que possessed countless rare treasures, and this strange black stick was clearly a spiritual weapon. Spiritual swords didn't change form, and at least in the Sword Cave, she had never seen such a peculiar sword.

at that time.

The two junior disciples from different sects drew their swords simultaneously, creating an atmosphere of extreme tension.

Mu Li said in a deep voice, "Be careful of her. She carries the aura of other cultivators."

Ye Qiao: "How so?"

She didn't know Yun Que very well, only that he had countless trump cards up his sleeve. For Ye Qiao, dealing with Yun Que meant the end of this trial. As long as the Seventh Elder couldn't kill her completely, Ye Qiao would leave all her trump cards to Yun Que.

"She might also have the remnant soul of a cultivator within her," Mu Li replied calmly.

Ye Qiao composed herself. Xiao Qi was still asleep, which meant that no living creatures were allowed to be present during the trial, except for Mu Li.

He was almost struck by lightning and his soul was scattered. His remaining soul lingered, its aura so weak that it couldn't attract the attention of the Heavenly Dao.

Then whose remnant soul of the cultivator is in Yun Que's hands?

The magpies in this world have five or six years more growth time than those in the other world, so they are naturally incomparable.

To be honest, Ye Qiao and Yun Que's sudden confrontation was unexpected by everyone. To be precise, Yun Que's willingness to help the Seventh Elder was truly unexpected.

Yun Que has a good reputation in the cultivation world. She and Ye Qinghan are a famous couple, and she carries the burden of being a savior.

Duan Hengdao glanced at the two female disciples from the sect who were facing each other, hesitated for a few seconds, and then said seriously, "That Seventh Elder disregards human life. Logically speaking, we really shouldn't support him. Yun Que, are you really sure you want to help him?"

Yun Que's actions naturally aroused dissatisfaction among people.

"She actually pointed her sword at our senior sister?"

A female cultivator turned to look at him. "No. Don't you like Yun Que?" Yun Que had admirers all over the cultivation world, and she was indeed extremely beautiful.

"Nonsense!" He blushed, embarrassed. "Of course I support our Senior Sister Ye Qiao."

"The problem is... the problem is that Yun Que's swordsmanship is very strong."

They had all witnessed Yun Que's strength, but Ye Qiao...

They didn't know much about her; their previous impression of her was that she was quite pretentious.

All we know now is that she has excellent movement skills and a lot of resources. The reason she was able to hold off the Seventh Elder for so long is because she has a lot of talismans.

Yun Que pursed her lips. As a late-stage Void Refinement cultivator, she could naturally hear those people's voices. She said coldly, "I am a sword cultivator."

Not wanting to appear weaker than Ye Qiao, she raised her chin and said, "Speaking of which, you should be a talisman cultivator, which isn't fair to you. Are you sure you want to fight me?"

Ye Qiao smiled and curled her lips. She was so eager to rush up and kill to silence her, so how did it become that she insisted on fighting with her?

I'm annoyed that I can't see you.

However, it had no right to speak during the trial and could only express its dissatisfaction by trembling its sword.

Isn't it a sword?!

Moreover, no matter how you look at it, or from the perspective of human development, Ye Qiao is a sword cultivator.

Yun Que didn't think so; she was the only one in the cultivation world who cultivated both sword and talisman.

With a gentle call, the Moon Arrow appeared at his right hand, ready to be released.

A Luoshui sword and a Mingyue arrow drew quiet gasps from the Chengfeng Sect disciples.

Ye Qiao held the gleaming shovel in her other hand, which also gleamed coldly. With a casual slash in front of her, a huge gust of air caused people to lose their footing several times.

"The Han Guang Shovel!? The Bright Moon Arrow?"

The exclamation came from Duan Hengdao.

He was well-informed and had only heard of such legendary treasures; he never expected to actually see one.

The youngest disciples of the two sects each possessed a sect-protecting spiritual artifact, prompting gasps from countless Chengfeng Sect disciples below the stage.

"What are the backgrounds of these two people?"

"You all know Yun Que, right? She's from the Yueqing Sect, so it's not surprising she has the Bright Moon Arrow. The question is, who is the other person?"

Although the Light-Containing Shovel looks strange, its handle is elongated and exudes a chilling aura, making its grade no weaker than the Moon Arrow.

In other words, both are actually innate spiritual artifacts! The most prized treasures of their respective sects.

Holy crap, the innate spiritual artifacts of two sects are actually in the hands of the two youngest disciples, what's going on?

The shattering of the formation caused a huge upheaval. Anyone wanting to ascend Jade Cry Mountain had to avoid those formations. Xie Chuxue's formation failed to trap the exceptionally powerful Seventh Elder, but instead blocked others from climbing the mountain.

The elders arrived almost simultaneously with the disciples of Chengfeng Sect who were pouring in. They also noticed that she had broken through the barrier with the Han Guang Shovel the moment she touched the weak point of the formation and attacked in conjunction with Ming Xuan!

At that moment, when they caught a glimpse of Ye Qiao holding a sword in one hand and a Han Guang shovel in the other, the elders of Changming Sect all jumped in surprise.

—I was scared.

The Han Guang Shovel has been kept in the Changming Sect for hundreds of years without anyone taking it out. How did it end up in Ye Qiao's hands?

Elder Zhao, as if struck by a sudden realization, looked at the Fifth Elder guarding the forbidden area and exclaimed, "Fifth Elder, you gave her the Han Guang Shovel?"

"No, no, no!" The Fifth Elder, hunched over, was so frightened by the sight of the Han Guang Shovel that his accent tumbled out as he cried out his innocence, "My sister was given to her!"

"..."

Xue Yu: "..."

Is it possible that we retrieved it from the forbidden area ourselves?

He was feeling very guilty at the moment. He caught a glimpse of the Seventh Elder's murderous and violent appearance. He made a domain in his hand, and the scene in front of him changed. The domain of the Void Refinement Realm materialized into a space of its own, creating an illusion to confuse the opponent and conceal his own movements.

However, the gap between the peak of the Void Refinement stage and the peak of the Body Integration stage is too great. At this point, the domain can only serve as a cover for the elders.

Zhao Chang casually clenched his fist, and a giant ruler appeared in his palm.

He said in a deep voice, "Xiao Xi, go help Xiao Qiao."

"She can't handle that female disciple from the Yueqing Sect."

Yun Que was stronger than most of the people present. Even an elder would not have much of a chance against a cheat, let alone Ye Qiao, a disciple in the Nascent Soul stage.

"Okay." Mu Chongxi grabbed the spirit sword immediately and landed beside Ye Qiao.

"Insolence!" The Seventh Elder was furious. He hadn't killed them because he wanted to use them to do things. With the Sect Master's order in hand, how dare they attack him?

After shouting angrily, the Seventh Elder immediately took out the Sect Master's Token.

The gaunt old man, at the peak of the Integration Realm, slammed down with immense pressure, causing countless people to bend their knees. Elder Zhao didn't move an inch, his expression cold and stern. He knew the power of the Sect Master's decree and knew it couldn't be disobeyed. But just one glance at the disciples who had been killed by the Seventh Elder with a casual pinch, and his heart ached.

He was prepared to fight to the death.

Under no circumstances will the Seventh Elder be allowed to harm any of his disciples again.

Seeing that the other elders were holding whisks and seemed to be preparing to fight him to the death, the Seventh Elder immediately sneered and quickly activated the Sect Master's Decree by surging in spiritual energy.
