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

At the same time, the mark on Ye Qiao's wrist was also slightly hot. To be honest, she had thought about taking Chen Muzhan's Golden Lotus of Merit, since she only robbed those who were destined to be robbed.

That divine child is no good, and neither is Ye Qiao.

However, spiritual artifacts are all about fate, and they don't choose two masters. Chen Muchen from her world had already refined that flower.

Ye Qiao felt regretful and sorry at the time, as they were not destined to be together.

But fate isn't actually that mysterious. Didn't you see that even though Han Guangchan disliked her, he still obediently followed her into the mortal world?

Therefore, if there is no affinity, you can force them to be refined after persuading them.

Unfortunately, the magpie's attempt failed.

Does that mean she wasn't strong enough to subdue the Golden Lotus of Merit, and that the Golden Lotus of Merit was unwilling to acknowledge her?

Indeed, apart from the Moon Arrow being somewhat weak and easily defeated, the Golden Lotus of Merit is an extremely powerful innate spiritual weapon. Chen Muchen was able to refine it because the two shared the same origin, but Yun Que is not a Buddhist cultivator and has no other opportunities. How easy would it be for him to refine an innate spiritual weapon?

Yun Que frowned, realizing that Ye Qiao's gaze was strange. She reached out and summoned back the lotus, gently stroking the petals. Noticing the amazed looks from those around her at the magical artifact in her hand, she smiled slightly.

The Golden Lotus of Merit, one of the Four Great Lotuses, is both defensive and offensive.

So what about the strong shovel?

She was not afraid of the power of the Han Guang shovel.

Yun Que put away the Bright Moon Arrow, and the Golden Lotus of Merit circled around her. The more she looked at it, the more satisfied she became. The power of this lotus was truly extraordinary.

What she didn't know was that Ye Qiao had a fortuitous opportunity bestowed by Heaven, and that mark was actually quite similar to those of Buddhism and Taoism.

"Help me," Yun Que said in a deep voice, putting pressure on the Golden Lotus of Merit, "Help me kill her."

The Golden Lotus of Merit did not respond, so the Cloud Magpie suddenly slammed down on her.

At the same time, her voice turned slightly cold, "Don't blame me, Ye Qiao. Blame yourself for insisting on appearing in front of me."

Why can't we let bygones be bygones?

Ye Qiao's existence seemed to be a constant reminder to her that her spiritual root was of questionable origin.

Regardless of how Yun Que came back to life, the fact that someone who should have died long ago was now alive was against the laws of nature, so she naturally chose to obey fate and get rid of her.

The moment it crashed down, golden light rushed towards her from all directions.

Ye Qiao did not possess any defensive magical artifacts.

"Ye Qiao!"

Duan Hengdao suddenly shouted, his gaze sweeping coldly over Yun Que, and then he threw a magical weapon at Ye Qiao.

The umbrella suddenly opened, and the surrounding beads scattered with dazzling light, forcefully pushing aside the golden light of the Lotus of Merit, and at the same time landing beside Ye Qiao's hand.

Seven-treasure umbrella.

"I made it."

The umbrella spun in her palm, forcefully opening and pushing away the Golden Lotus of Merit. Ye Qiao raised an eyebrow, inwardly exclaiming, "Holy crap!"

In her world, Duan Hengdao was indeed a useless piece of trash.

Duan Hengdao chuckled.

As a cultivator, everything depends on fate, and he inexplicably felt that he and Ye Qiao were quite destined for each other.

Mu Li silently observed the situation outside and noticed Duan Hengdao's help. He thought to himself that it was more than just fate; he owed Duan Hengdao a huge debt of gratitude.

Ye Qiao saved them more than once in another world. Mu Li was once at the top of the cultivation world, so he could naturally see some of the secrets of heaven. At the very least, Ye Qiao's luck was extremely strong. Not only Chengfeng Sect, but other sects owed her favors to varying degrees, and these favors would have to be repaid in various forms sooner or later.

This is what is known as fate and karma.

A magical artifact offset that cause and effect, but there was still some debt owed, which could be repaid by Duan Hengdao from another world.

He couldn't help but marvel at how Ye Qiao had managed to make so many people owe her favors, which meant she had saved these people many times.

"Duan Hengdao!!" Yun Que, annoyed that her attack had missed, couldn't help but shout, "What's this to you?"

She was already furious that Duan Hengdao had exposed her in front of Ye Qinghan, and her face was extremely cold at this moment.

Duan Hengdao threw out a magical weapon, but he was also extremely nervous.

Although he has good talent, crafting magical artifacts is extremely difficult. Today, by some strange twist of fate, he gave away an umbrella – what a loss!

Going back was impossible. Duan Hengdao understood that everything depended on fate. The materials used for the Seven Treasures Umbrella were all of the highest quality. Even if he had crafted it, finding a suitable person to use it would not be easy. Moreover, not all powerful beings knew how to use spiritual artifacts. Some people did not know how to use spiritual artifacts, or they were not suitable for them.

Seeing that the Seven Treasures Umbrella did not reject Ye Qiao, he was also pleased.

Ye Qiao accepted all offers without hesitation, and even if Duan Hengdao didn't offer anything, she could still take a few blows head-on.

That Golden Lotus of Merit is fierce, but she can withstand three blows from the Tribulation Transcending Palm. It's just one strike, and she won't hurt herself anyway.

"You're so guilty about digging out my spiritual root?"

Ye Qiao didn't really care what Yun Que had done before; in her world, she had already killed him once.

This can be considered as offsetting the grudge between Yun Que and the original owner.

The reason she killed him again was simply because Heaven was forcing her to kill Yun Que.

Want to save your sect? You'll have to overcome your tribulation first.

How to overcome the tribulation? Naturally, by killing Yun Que, one can attain enlightenment.

The Heavenly Dao has been meticulously planning this move for so long, isn't it all to completely eliminate the big troublesome Yun Que?

Ye Qiao did not lower her voice, and the sect disciples who were nearby could hear it clearly.

"Kill them." Realizing he had been overheard, Yun Que's voice turned icy as he roared at the cultivators summoned by the Seventh Elder, pointing at the sect disciples whose faces had changed drastically.

She was in a hurry to kill him to silence him.

Any cultivator who was close to Ye Qiao and overheard the conversation must not be allowed to live.

Of course, the most important one is Ye Qiao.

Yun Que, wielding a lotus flower and a sword, moved with subtle movements accompanied by the flickering of talismans, closer to her, whispering, "With my current talent, even if things are exposed, who do you think will side with you?"

"Even if the Changming Sect wants to help you seek justice, I cultivate both sword and talisman skills. Do you think the Yueqing Sect will protect me?" She smiled gently, her smile unusually warm.

How despicable.

Ye Qiao wanted to tear her face off with the sword he held, but since the sword spirits were not allowed to show themselves during the trial, he could only hide in the sword, puffing out his cheeks in frustration and glaring at her fiercely.

The Changming Sect disciples, who heard everything clearly, looked flustered.

They weren't sure if it was true or not, but Yunque's reaction undoubtedly confirmed its authenticity.

Digging out spiritual roots?

"Heavens..." he murmured, opening his mouth. The next instant, a bright sword light rushed towards him.

To their surprise, the cultivators summoned by the Seventh Elder were also following Yun Que's orders!

All the disciples hurriedly summoned their swords to resist. At the Golden Core and Nascent Soul stages, killing a group of inner and outer disciples was as easy as cutting vegetables.

Seeing this, Yun Que smiled slowly, "I've already told you, don't try to shake a tree like an ant."

More than a dozen high-level talismans floated in Ye Qiao's hand.

He flung it at the disciples, trapping them tightly.

Yun Que looked at her with unfathomable eyes, and felt more and more that she was nothing special.

Want revenge with just a few talismans? A shovel with a halberd? And a strangely shaped magical artifact?

Overestimating one's abilities.

Although talismans are powerful, they are merely the product of talisman cultivators' desperate struggles against sword cultivators.

Although Yun Que was a talisman cultivator and therefore considered herself of high status, she knew in her heart that sword cultivators were the strongest.

Ye Qiao's expression was exceptionally cold. With the first move of the Clear Wind Technique on the side of her spirit sword, she pierced through the talisman flying from Yun Que's hand.

This was the first time that Jun had unleashed his sword light, and the Golden Lotus of Merit was startled by the black aura and paused for a moment.

Ye Qiao was actually hesitating whether to use the Unseen Lord sword or switch to another sword.

The other swords all belong to the Sword Inquiry Sect's sword cave. If they were taken out, it would be difficult to explain their origins, and the Sword Inquiry Sect might interrogate them about their identities, but...

She quickly realized that if she survived the tribulation, who would dare to bark like a dog?

Without seeing you, the Killing Sword is not really suitable to be used, otherwise it would be strange for me to come here, and it would be easy to arouse suspicion.

She couldn't take it anymore; she didn't care how Yun Que treated her. But she couldn't let those young children in the sect have their way.

Hitting children is shameful!

Those bloodthirsty cultivators didn't care about any of that; to them, Yun Que was their young master.

Naturally, we obeyed.

Ignoring Yun Que's previous swagger and now frozen expression, Ye Qiao drew her sword, which transformed into a longsword, and twirled it in front of her.

A cold light flashed across the blade, revealing the second move of the Clear Wind Technique. Before the sword arrived, the sword energy had already arrived. The cultivators who were trying to kill and silence their young master had no time to react before they were enveloped by the sharp sword energy.

Blood splattered three feet high as she slashed him down with her sword!

Nascent Soul stage! Those were a group of Nascent Soul stage cultivators.

The disciples of Changming Sect were dumbfounded as Ye Qiao was killed with a single sword strike. Blood splattered all over their faces as they stared blankly at her.

"Problem child, lunatic," that was their preconceived notion. Until now, the girl, dressed in red, stood before them, her spirit sword radiating pure killing intent.

I just felt...

Swift as a shooting star.

A sword can stop a million soldiers.

There was no sound.

Only a pale green sword aura, brimming with vitality, remained on the ground.

With the sword held before her, Ye Qiao seized the moment while they were in a daze and chopped off Yun Que's sword-wielding hand. With a clang, the Luoshui Sword fell to the ground, the spirit sword flying into Ye Qiao's hand. She gripped the hilt tightly, forcefully suppressing the turbulent spirit within the Luoshui Sword.

Yun Que's arm went numb from the sword energy she unleashed. She tried to call Luo Shui back, but to her surprise, Ye Qiao held her firmly in her hand, and she didn't make a sound!

She paused for a moment, staring intently at Luo Shuijian, as if she wanted to say something, her lips trembling slightly in disbelief.

"What a coincidence." Ye Qiao's eyes gleamed coldly in the reflection of the sword. She mimicked Yun Que's earlier words, grinning, "So~ you also cultivate both sword and talisman techniques."
