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

Returning to the current situation in the cultivation world, the Seventh Elder is overwhelming all others, and has squeezed all the disciples of the five sects to the point of unbearable suffering.

They are truly suffering. When the sect leader was alive, they could look down on other rogue cultivators and wander around the foot of the mountain. But when the Seventh Elder became the sect leader, instead of thinking about how to create a new socialist sect, he organized an operation to destroy Ye Qiao.

To be fair, Ye Qiao isn't that hateful.

Moreover, Ye Qiao has a very good quality; she doesn't steal opportunities from others.

After the Seventh Elder arrived, he divided the disciples into different ranks and then ordered them to go out and rob. He ordered them to seize any opportunities they could find and fill them with innate spiritual artifacts to feed the artifact spirits. Now all that was missing was a chosen one to sacrifice, and he was sure he would succeed.

The Seventh Elder ordered them to rob, and they were the ones who suffered. The rogue cultivators were united; they didn't care what sect you belonged to, they would beat you up first, and then leave the secret realm and run away, regardless of the raging flood. Nowadays, everyone knows that with the sect leader gone, it's an elder's turn to take charge.

That elder clearly didn't protect his own, which was quite unethical.

So when the fighting started, there was even less psychological pressure. Not only did they have to be ganged up on by rogue cultivators, but they also had to diligently replenish the Seventh Elder's supply of various rare and precious materials. The disciples of the five sects were almost in tears.

Someone needs to come quickly.

Honestly, they'd accept anyone as sect leader these days.

Under the tireless guidance of the Seventh Elder, and through bullying and robbing everywhere, the Changming Sect firmly established itself as the number one sect.

The Seventh Elder is now fearless. Firstly, he rightfully obtained the position of sect leader, and even the Heavenly Dao cannot strike him with lightning. Secondly, he has not done anything immoral. Even if he wanted to kill Ye Qiao as a sacrifice, he has not succeeded yet.

Therefore, he was not afraid and boldly set up a great formation called the Eighteen Formations in front of countless cultivators in the cultivation world.

"What are the Eighteen Formations?" Mu Li was a pure-blooded cultivator of the path of slaughter, almost to the point of madness, and did not understand these formations of talisman cultivators.

"The Eighteen Killing Formations"

Ye Qiao flipped through the talisman book of the Changming Sect, tilting her head back in thought. "The Eighteen Killing Formations are all extremely dangerous. Those below the Refinement Void realm have absolutely no chance of survival."

He was clearly determined to kill himself.

That's really going too far.

Perhaps Ye Qiao was too good at hiding. After a long time without seeing her whereabouts, those aristocratic families gradually became restless and assigned people to search for Ye Qiao, as she was an indispensable link.

As the new chosen one of destiny, Heaven might help her conceal some secrets, but it could never hide them from the Seventh Elder's eyes.

The powerful families all jumped into the fray, making the situation even more chaotic. During the days Ye Qiao spent hiding, he lived like a rat in the street, and dressed like a rat.

The dull, dark blue color has a certain unassuming quality, which is good if this person isn't acting secretly.

Mu Li couldn't help but snort.

I've never seen anyone who's undergone tribulation end up looking like this.

If it were him, he would have slapped them all to death long ago. He wouldn't have given them the chance to hunt him down.

He wanted them to understand that the only outcome of opposing the tribulation was death.

How do you know how many people are involved?

Ye Qiao remained calm. "That's precisely why we need to resolve this all at once, since we don't know the answer."

When things get chaotic, some people will naturally become restless. No matter how composed the Seventh Elder is, when it comes to whether he can ascend, he was also forced to step forward.

With the support of Buddhism, Taoism, and several powerful families in the cultivation world, the Seventh Elder already has the Five Sects in his grasp. The only problem is the Moon Purity Sect, which is complicated by its intricate arrays and complex terrain, making it difficult to send people in.

However, the elders of the Yueqing Sect were clearly intelligent and knew how to protect themselves. They immediately showed goodwill, indicating that the Yueqing Sect had no intention of rebelling.

"Those elders are a clever bunch," the monk chuckled slightly. "It's just that their disciples don't seem to think that way."

They were all incredibly inactive, only working sporadically when tasked with hunting Ye Qiao. They were even having their own private gatherings. They completely disregarded them.

"No problem. A bunch of brats, they can't cause any trouble."

The Seventh Elder didn't have time to keep an eye on his disciples all day.

A bunch of brats, at most only at the Nascent Soul stage, they can't cause any trouble.

Ye Qiao remained noncommittal, after all, the Seventh Elder's confidence was not without reason.

In the original world, a group of Nascent Soul cultivators, Void Refinement cultivators, and Body Integration cultivators couldn't do anything to him, let alone a group of Nascent Soul cultivators and Core Formation cultivators.

In the end, it was Heaven's will that pulled her into a trial, and with its absolute power, it forcibly suppressed her.

With the involvement of powerful families, who were well-informed and had spies all over the cultivation world, the entire cultivation world was caught up in a frenzy to find Ye Qiao. Ordinary cultivators, who were just watching the spectacle, were also at a loss as to what to do.

"What forces did Ye Qiao offend?"

"Hmph, they're only doing this because the five sects have no one else to stand up. Otherwise, would they dare to step forward?"

He used to be as timid as a grandson, but now he's got some confidence.

"So much free time. Instead of organizing an event to eliminate Ye Qiao, why not go and manage the demon race?"

As the great demons of the Demon Abyss gradually appeared, evil cultivators also emerged, plunging the five sects into chaos. Ordinary cultivators in the cultivation world lived in fear, not daring to even leave their homes. Those who could roam freely were either scions of powerful families with various spiritual treasures or powerful figures with formidable strength.

For a time, all the cultivators felt threatened.

All they could do was frantically pray that the elders and sect leaders in the Demon Clan would step up and kill the Demon Lord as soon as possible, so that they could take charge of the current situation in the cultivation world.

Ye Qiao silently noted down those powerful families who had gone astray, intending to settle accounts with them later.

Just as the time was right, she leisurely revealed a little of her aura. How familiar those disciples were with her aura? In an instant, a flash of light appeared, and several figures landed behind her.

They blocked all her options.

The five members of the Sword Inquiry Sect arrived, accompanied by several hundred disciples, indicating that they had come prepared.

The young man at the head of the group was dressed in white with a cold expression. He was followed by hundreds of disciples of the Sword Inquiry Sect. The Broken Water Sword was filled with killing intent as it blocked her way.

After several months apart, during the trial, the reality blurred, and Ye Qiao truly had the illusion of a dream spanning years. She rested her chin on her hand, her expression dazed, then waved her hand. Facing the several cold and imposing sword energies, she showed no discomfort whatsoever, still smiling cheerfully: "Hi, Ye Qinghan?"

She thought to herself, "It's been a few months since I last saw you, and you've become quite the presentable person."

"Wishing you well?"

She greeted them one by one, but when Ye Qiao spoke, it was fine until she opened her mouth. Several of her disciples almost lost their composure, and their icy sword auras dissipated.

Zhu You covered her face, her voice trembling, "Why are you talking to us?"

She had originally intended to put on an act, but as soon as Ye Qiao spoke, Zhu You's sharp sword aura dissipated.

Ye Qiao was taken aback, then easily stepped back: "Weren't you looking for me?"

Disciples have no say; even direct disciples have this status granted by the sect.

To disobey would be to disobey one's elders.

The Sword Inquiry Sect is known for its strict rules and regulations.

Ye Qinghan was the first to be affected.

Therefore, the Sword Inquiry Sect took the capture of Ye Qiao the most seriously. At that time, the sword energy of several people dissipated, but Ye Qinghan did not loosen his grip on his sword and looked at her from afar.

Ye Qiao assumed that the slow-witted Long Aotian wanted to grab her. She clicked her tongue twice, slashed her sword across her palm, pointed it coldly at him, and smiled, "Excuse me, Little Ye?"

His words, though few, were exceptionally provocative.

Ye Qinghan: "..."

Chu Xingzhi rubbed his face. "Has she been eating Want Want Super Candy lately?"

She's a wanted criminal in the entire Five Sects. Instead of thinking about how to cry and beg them to let her go, she actually dared to point a sword at them!

"I advise you not to be ungrateful, Ye Qiao." Chu Xingzhi hinted with his eyes that she should quickly admit her mistake and run away. Her senior brothers were all in trouble, and now the only sects that could come down the mountain to hunt her down were Wenjian Sect, Chengfeng Sect, and Yueqing Sect.

With the five of them working together, plus so many disciples, it's not impossible for them to defeat Ye Qiao alone.

If she wants to live, she should run away quickly.

The situation is not good for the only sect that did not go into the water, the Azure Water Sect. Miao Miao has the Pure World Green Lotus, the first of the four great lotuses, and the Seventh Elder has been trying to get his hands on it in the past few days, forcing them to bow down and hand over the spiritual weapon.

Fortunately, the Azure Water Sect had extensive connections and several powerful figures protecting them. After weighing the pros and cons, the Seventh Elder decided that he didn't need another innate spiritual artifact and didn't pursue the matter further. He focused more on capturing Ye Qiao.

The young man's sword aura was icy, and he stared at her expressionlessly.

The next second, he slashed at her with his sword.

Before the sword energy could even solidify, Ye Qiao didn't even bother to dodge, and then heard Ye Qinghan say, "You can leave now."

Ye Qinghan was born straightforward and honest, and knew nothing about paddling, but today, he made a rare concession.

So, you've made such a big fuss just to let her off the hook?

Ye Qiao almost laughed.

The disciples of the Sword Inquiry Sect were also in a bad mood. What should they do if they overheard their senior brothers plotting to let Ye Qiao go?

What else could they do but pretend to be blind?

What is Ye Qiao?

Never heard of it. Don't know it.

Ye Qiao was too lazy to hide anymore and started to swagger around the cultivation world. Almost all the disciples who encountered her went easy on her.

When the elders from the Buddhist and Taoist sides questioned them about whether they had seen Ye Qiao, their reactions were unanimous.

"Where is she?!" The Buddhist and Taoist elders roared in fury. "I told you to arrest her, and after all these days, there's still no sign of her!"

The disciple looked bewildered: "Huh? Who? I don't know them."

He patiently said, "That Ye Qiao."

The other party feigned ignorance: "What leaf?"

Elder: "Ye Qiao".

Disciple: "What do you mean, 'tall'?"

He gasped, "...It's nothing. You go ahead with your work."

Disciple: "Okay!"
