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

The young prince was actually indifferent to the matter, but the chaos in the South China Sea made him somewhat uneasy, especially after hearing that Qin Fanfan and a group of powerful figures had been sent to quell the rebellion. He felt a slight ache in his backside.

But he's only fifteen! In a dragon race where dragons live for tens of thousands of years, he's still just a baby dragon! Why spank him?

After thinking for a long time, he nervously threw out the Dragon Ball and hurriedly joined the battle.

In an instant, the dragon's body easily blocked most of the attacks for the cultivators below who were powerless to resist. With a flick of its tail, it sent the attacks flying back with a "bang." It was also a fused form, and as a dragon, it was naturally not afraid of the Seventh Elder.

Although the young prince blocked most of them, some inevitably slipped through the net. They subconsciously reached out to block in front of them, and the oppressive force of each attack made them feel despair.

Just then, the emerald green domain suddenly moved, and vines from all directions began to wrap around people and protect them within it.

They were overjoyed to have escaped death.

They wished they could kowtow several times to express their respect for the field.

This field is great, wonderful!

The cultivation world is lacking such a humane field.

The Seventh Elder drew his longsword again in the blink of an eye. He didn't care about the missed attack and charged straight at Ye Qinghan with killing intent.

His main purpose was to take Ye Qinghan away.

He had prepared everything in advance.

All that's missing is a chosen one.

However, Ye Qinghan was protected by the sect leader of the Sword Inquiry Sect, making it difficult to succeed. Now that he has finally ascended, the Heavenly Dao is watching him with covetous eyes.

In order to evade the gaze of Heaven, he had no choice but to endure hardship and plot step by step to capture Ye Qinghan in one fell swoop.

Now he's completely given up; it's all or nothing, and nobody can stop him today.

The Seventh Elder's reckless actions made Xie Chuxue inwardly cry out in alarm. He had hoped to stall for time and chat with the Seventh Elder, but it was clear that the elder had no such intention. Every move was aimed at Ye Qinghan. Xie Chuxue's expression turned icy as he gathered his spiritual energy into a talisman. With a flick of his finger, the talisman transformed into a red beam of light and flew towards Ye Qinghan.

The two were at the same level, and in the art of talismanic arts, his skill was no less than that of the Seventh Elder. The only thing he lacked was experience.

The Seventh Elder is an ancient being who has lived for countless millennia; Xie Chuxue is far from being a match for him.

At the same level, one can only compare experience and skills; no one present was his match.

Zhou Xingyun and Zhu You together protected the two people behind them. The oppressive aura pressed down heavily on their shoulders, but Xie Chuxue quickly snapped her fingers, deflecting the attack.

The young man showed no sign of relaxation.

They outnumbered the Seventh Elder, and he couldn't do anything to them in a short time.

But the Seventh Elder must have some trump cards up his sleeve, otherwise he wouldn't dare to break off relations so easily. Seeing that he was blocked one after another, the Seventh Elder glanced at the scene inside the Ghost King Tower. It was an innate spiritual artifact, forming its own domain. He couldn't figure out its details, but he didn't know why he felt very uneasy.

A cultivator's intuition is always accurate, and the Seventh Elder dared not be careless, flipping through his hands.

He snorted coldly. Others might not know that the Changming Sect had a cultivator at the peak of the Integration Realm, but he knew very well that the chessboard on Penglai Island could trap people into its formation, and those who entered could not escape unless they died.

With a wave of his hand, the chessboard unfolded out of thin air, and in an instant, countless people were trapped in the formation. He could move the chess pieces at will, and the lives of countless people were entirely at his fingertips.

The elders were unfamiliar with formations. Some used their agility to dodge, while others, concerned about the children behind them, were dragged into the trap before they could escape.

Xie Chuxue's face instantly turned terribly gloomy.

He knew about all sorts of rare and precious materials in the cultivation world, yet he still underestimated his opponent.

The Seventh Elder curled his lips into a smile. "Want to save them? Hahaha, then come and join the game."

To save someone, you must first get involved. Once Xie Chuxue gets involved, whether she lives or dies is still unknown.

Xie Chuxue was naturally unwilling to compromise easily. He signaled Mu Chongxi and Zhou Xingyun to guard the two people meditating. Without hesitation, he forced out his heart blood, and the pale golden blood filled the Minsheng Brush. One after another, incantations rose from the ground, gushing out from the pattern and suddenly swooping down towards the opponent.

It's clear they're planning a fight to the death.

Nourishing one's natal artifact with one's own blood to enhance one's abilities is extremely costly and the backlash is immeasurable.

However, Xie Chuxue didn't care about anything else; he was the only one present who could rival the Seventh Elder.

It is absolutely impossible for him to get involved as he wishes.

Xie Chuxue refused to join the fray and even resorted to such a reckless fighting style, which made the Seventh Elder somewhat impatient. He then attacked ruthlessly, but when he encountered the incantations that entangled him like iron chains, his hands and feet were instantly bound.

Xie Chuxue's face was pale, and at the same time, the sharp sword pierced through his heart, and all the talismans on his body were shattered. He adjusted his breathing, and blood soaked his clothes.

Without a sword cultivator, a talisman cultivator is utterly useless.

Fighting a sword cultivator is insane.

He didn't care about wiping away the blood, biting down on the pill. The pale green light within his domain tried its best to repair his wounds. However, in a battle between peak-level cultivators, a single move could be fatal, and even the power of all things couldn't heal him in a short time.

The Seventh Elder stretched out his hand, clenched his fist, and slapped Ye Qinghan, trying to grab him. Xie Chuxue naturally couldn't stand by and watch him do that.

Several curse seals blocked his path, interrupting him time and time again.

The Seventh Elder was utterly enraged: "Since you want to die, then I'll grant your wish!"

He coldly waved his hand after saying that!

Miao Miao immediately shot an arrow, trying to block the palm strike. At the same time, she also stuffed Xie Chuxue with many pills. However, when the palm strike came down, she realized how terrifying the peak of the Integration Realm was. She was so shocked that she could hardly lift her hand. She managed to shoot an arrow, but it was almost useless. Xie Chuxue immediately protected her behind her. Min Shengbi gritted her teeth and caught most of the arrow.

Then the artifact spirit dissipated, Xie Chuxue made a hand seal, and unleashed a palm strike, followed by a sword light.

He was so fast this time that he had no chance to dodge.

The sword strike nearly shattered his heart meridian. Xie Chuxue couldn't withstand it and coughed up a mouthful of blood. She made a hand seal and more than a dozen talismans rose out of thin air, constantly blocking the Seventh Elder's steps.

"Is that all you've got? Want to continue?" His face was deathly pale, yet he still asked with a dazed smile.

Even if he dies here today, Xie Chuxue will never let him take Ye Qinghan away.

"You're asking for death, then I'll grant your wish." He sneered and swung his sword.

"Junior Uncle." Xue Yu's breath hitched, wishing he could refine the pill on the spot. Miao Miao handed it to him tremblingly, "I still have some pills I can use."

But she couldn't get over it.

Xue Yu, however, was able to create illusions to confuse the other party and deliver the life-saving pills to them immediately.

At the same time, the Seventh Elder's attack also missed.

Xue Yu took the person away.

The domain cannot be maintained for long; it will soon be discovered in front of a peak Integration Realm expert. But one can hide for as long as possible.

The Seventh Elder narrowed his eyes, looking at Xie Chuxue who had vanished into thin air. He quickly noticed the unusual aura. He crushed Xue Yu's domain and saw that he was actually a pill cultivator. He was quite interested, as these disciples all had excellent talents.

If it weren't for Yun Que's help, he really wouldn't know what to do with these disciples.

it's good now.

Nothing can stop him now.

Xie Chuxue made a hand seal, and strange light flashed around her, with countless runes seemingly dancing within the light.

Immediately afterwards, his hand seals changed, and he uttered a light, airy "Slash!"

Suddenly, countless sharp sword energies emerged from the trapped formation, crisscrossing and weaving into a dense sword net.

The Seventh Elder's face turned ashen. He hadn't expected that Xie Chuxue could turn the tables on him in such a short time. But it didn't matter. Xie Chuxue had set up a killing formation, and he had other ways to deal with it.

With a sinister laugh, the chessboard appeared in his palm. The elders and disciples trapped inside screamed in agony, including the little prince who was caught off guard and dragged into the game because the dragon form was too large.

"Are you crazy?" Xie Chuxue's breath hitched, her blood surging in her throat. How dare they provoke the Dragon Clan? Are they really not afraid of being punished by the Heavenly Dao?

Seventh Elder: "Hahahaha, so what if I'm a dragon? Even the Heavenly Dao can't do anything to me." He had been hiding from the Heavenly Dao for so long, all for this moment.

As soon as he finished speaking, he moved the chessboard and the pieces shifted. Countless people screamed and turned into blood mist as he collided with them. In that instant, Xie Chuxue's calm eyes turned into a look of hatred that made her want to devour him alive.

Ultimately, the Seventh Elder was naturally carefree, but Xie Chuxue was not; he had too many concerns and entanglements.

So from the very beginning, he was the defeated opponent.

Ye Qiao landed directly on the eighteenth floor of the tower, looked at Yun Que in front of her, and couldn't help but sigh deeply.

It can't be killed, it's completely impossible to kill it.

The outside world's turmoil had nothing to do with her at this moment; Ye Qiao only wanted to kill Yun Que.

However, things didn't go her way, and Ye Qiao felt so frustrated that she wanted to punch through the cultivation world.

She had used all her trump cards—spiritual weapons, sword techniques, talismans—all of them, but the opponent always managed to dodge them. She couldn't kill him; she simply couldn't kill him.

Even if she was stabbed dozens of times, Yun Que would still survive, and in a short while, she would be lively and energetic again, recovering from those fatal wounds.

Draft it!

Mu Li: "Why don't you think about what other cards you have up your sleeve?"

"What else?"

Ye Qiao blinked. She really respected Yun Que and had used almost everything she had.

...What else does she have?

She really does!

Ye Qiao touched the burning golden mark on her wrist, and a thought flickered in her mind.

This curse mark was given by the Heavenly Dao, but its name alone suggests it's not simple. It's a curse mark for the Void Refinement stage. Could the Heavenly Dao be planning to let her use it at this stage?

Considering Tiandao's calculating nature, it's not impossible.

Yun Que relied on pills and healing magic treasures to prolong her life. Looking at Ye Qiao's impotent and furious appearance, the corners of her lips curled up slightly.

Countless people in the cultivation world are jealous of her, but none have had her good fortune to escape danger. The girl's voice carried a hint of pity, "I am the daughter of destiny."

Favored by Heaven, the kind who can survive every life-or-death situation.

"The fact that I can extract your spiritual root only proves that this is your fate, Ye Qiao." Some people exist solely to serve me.

Everything is fate.

It's entirely beyond our control.

Ye Qiao remained enraged for a long time, ignoring Yun Que's provocative words, until Yun Que so casually dismissed the original owner's death with the word "fate," and denied the benefits she had gained from those she had used, as if they were all deserved.

Ye Qiao laughed: "What the hell are you talking about?"

She was figuring out how to use the spell seal when Yun Que suddenly gave her a spur-of-the-moment remark. Ye Qiao immediately understood its purpose, and a black spell seal appeared in her palm. With a flick of her fingertips, the Golden Lotus of Merit also appeared at that moment.

"If other methods don't work, then let's try this. If you die, that's just fate, and you have to accept it."

The incantation seal turns.

All things perish.

A dazzling golden light burst forth, and the Golden Lotus of Merit flew out. Yun Que instantly realized the unusual nature of this curse seal. He threw out all his magical treasures, his face flushed, and tried to escape, but he was firmly controlled by the Golden Lotus.

The moment the curse seal was unleashed, the entire space froze and vanished into chaos.

In an instant.

This is eternal night.

The all-encompassing darkness plunged the tower spirit into terror. What had Ye Qiao done? What had she done again?!

With a "bang".

A violent shattering sound erupted centered on Yun Que. Ye Qiao let out a howl and quickly took the tower into her palm. She seemed to understand the specific power of the Myriad Manifestations Annihilation.

Everything shattered, leaving behind a chaotic darkness. Except for Ye Qiao, who was firmly protected by the Golden Lotus of Merit, everything within a hundred miles turned to ashes.

That's quite a commotion.

This diverted most of the Seventh Elder's attention.

Ye Qiao unleashed a devastating attack, shattering vast swathes of the Jade Cry Mountain peak. The collapsed rocks turned into dust, creating a cloud of swirling dust.

And the Cloud Magpie at the center of the cursed seal?

Ye Qiao remained stunned for a long time. Had it turned to ashes?

That can't be right.

However, Buddhist and Taoist spells have always emphasized that when striking someone, one should not only kill them, but also annihilate their soul. So, Yun Que not only died physically, but at the moment the spell was thrown and hit, even with the best luck, he could only preserve his body at most, while his soul was completely annihilated.

She couldn't help but shudder; was it the ruthlessness of fate or divine retribution?

They held back this at a crucial moment.

They were terrified that the magpie would rise from the dead.

Fortunately, she didn't use it recklessly. For ordinary people, the karma of being beaten to the point of having their soul scattered is very heavy, but the original owner and Yun Que had a grudge, and Yun Que owed the other a life from beginning to end. So, in the end, they were even.

Ultimately, fate will decide.

Ye Qiao almost knelt down before the Heavenly Dao in tears, begging, "Please stop scheming against me! I'm just an innocent office worker!"

Mu Li: "..."

Could you please stop with your internal monologues?

With the unleashing of the Myriad Manifestations Annihilation, the air fell silent, and the entire space descended into chaotic darkness. Even the Seventh Elder, who had previously been able to manipulate events with ease, ceased his actions, as he too was somewhat bewildered by the chaos.

What happened?

Yun Que was so badly beaten that his soul was scattered. The thunderclouds in the sky seemed to churn for a moment, and Ye Qiao's smile froze.

What does Yunque's death mean?

That means she has survived her tribulation.

Passing the tribulation means she's going to be struck by lightning again.

Mu Li became excited: "You've survived your tribulation!"

Ye Qiao: "Yes."

Her smile was more like a grimace. Mu Li said, "The tribulation of the Tribulation Stage is very long. Don't worry. Look at the sect leader of the Sword Inquiry Sect. His tribulation alone takes several months to descend and prepare."

There was still plenty of time to prepare.

Ye Qiao was not comforted, but this was not the time for her to cry. The situation within the Myriad Manifestations Extinction Domain was clearly visible. Xie Chuxue was in a disheveled state, almost kneeling on the ground. Her heart meridian was shattered and she was only saved by the pills. Under the backlash of the heart blood, she was completely risking her life to survive.

The remaining people stood guard behind the two people who needed protection, watching the Seventh Elder with equally expressionless faces, ready to fight to the death at any moment.

Ye Qiao didn't feel anything special about the Tribulation Transcending stage, perhaps because she hadn't completely emerged from the trial yet, but that's alright.

Her true potential has finally been unleashed.

So Ye Qiao, holding the sword "Unseen Lord," landed first in the center of the battlefield, saying, "Junior Uncle, you don't need to be so strong anymore."

Xie Chuxue: "?"

He coughed up blood, staring blankly at Xiao Qiao who had emerged from the Ghost King Tower. He was both amused and exasperated by her earnest words, and exclaimed with a touch of absurdity, "Huh?"

What the heck is "I don't need to be strong anymore"?

Before he could even figure out what had happened, he was caught off guard by Wanxiangmie.

Everyone's vision went black, and then...

Yuming Mountain collapsed.

Ha ha.

Xie Chuxue was so happy.

Ye Qiao didn't see Jun Yizhu, but in an instant, his aura of tribulation surpassed the entire Jade Cry Mountain. He pointed to himself, winked, and grinned, "Because of your strength, I've come!"
