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

Everyone felt a jolt in their souls and stared in astonishment at the scene.

How arrogant.

They actually addressed the Seventh Elder as... old... old thing?

Are you crazy?

The Eighteen Formations, as a powerful killing formation, were not just for show. Taking a step forward meant certain death. It was a formation specifically designed to target Ye Qiao. As soon as she moved, the Dao patterns swirled and the killing aura soared to the sky.

Ye Qiaojian suddenly thrust forward, his voice unreserved, carrying a burst of spiritual energy that shot straight towards the Twelve Peaks.

This also includes the main peak.

In other words, countless people heard her voice, so arrogant that it left everyone speechless. Mingxuan affixed several invisibility talismans and then affixed them to all his companions, concealing his aura, and followed her straight to the dojo.

With the sect leader's order in hand, all disciples of the Changming Sect were summoned and gathered in one place.

The entire sect could hear that clear voice, "Old man, get down here and see me!"

"..."

Silence is the eternal light of Changming Sect tonight.

Even the Seventh Elder, a powerful figure who rarely showed his emotions, sensed the anger, and his expression fluctuated.

Finally, he let out a slightly sinister sneer; none of them were exactly easy to deal with.

Standing on his flying sword, Mu Chongxi nearly lost his footing and fell from mid-air upon hearing his junior sister's words. His junior sister was indeed quite eccentric; hiding and dodging were usually her style. Was this reckless attack really appropriate?

After they overturned the Heavenly Gang and locked up the elders, they hurriedly rushed down the mountain. The two Penglai disciples who were being watched over suddenly heard Ye Qiao's words of "get down here" and their mouths twitched violently.

As calm as Yue Qing'an was casually fiddling with three copper coins between his fingers, considering whether to cast a divination, his hand trembled and he could no longer sit still after Ye Qiao shouted, "Get down here and see me."

The thought, "Ye Qiao has finally gone mad," occupied both of their minds.

Yue Qing'an said, "You stay here obediently, I'm going to see her."

Ye Qiao is so reckless. The Seventh Elder already wanted to use her as a sacrifice, but she still came to his door. She's probably in grave danger now.

Chu Ling, feeling extremely uneasy, quickly said, "We'll go with you."

"Actually, you don't need to rush."

"That's Ye Qiao after all."

Since she went, she must have been quite confident.

Yue Qing'an and Chu Ling exchanged a glance.

They came here to help the Changming Sect, so they couldn't just sit idly by. The Penglai Island lineage was knowledgeable in the Six Lines and Eight Trigrams, as well as Qimen Dunjia. As direct disciples, the two of them were also quite skilled in formations.

Yue Qing'an did some calculations, but he couldn't predict Ye Qiao's fate; however, he could predict the fates of others.

He then felt reassured, grabbed his junior sister's hand, and raised an eyebrow: "Come on, let's go take a look."

Chu Ling: "..."

Seeing this, she followed without hesitation.

Her senior brother was more accurate than her in predicting fate. Seeing that he was in high spirits and looked very relaxed, did that mean that this was no big deal?

And the Seventh Elder...

His first reaction upon hearing these words was anger, but he quickly calmed down, since in his eyes, Ye Qiao was already a dead person.

The eighteen layers of the formation were interconnected and cycled back and forth, one wave after another. To outsiders, even if Ye Qiao understood formations, it would still be extremely dangerous. Except for Xie Chuxue, all the peak masters of the twelve peaks who were supposed to be there were present. Their expressions kept changing, and they wished they could take Ye Qiao's place in the formation.

The Seventh Elder looked down at the crowd with a cold expression. The peak masters were so anxious that they wished they could take his place, but for now they could only watch.

The peak master of Danfeng said, "She's just a child..."

"Why should the elder bother with her?"

The Seventh Elder coldly interrupted them: "Within the Five Sects, who is the most respected?"

"Of course it's you."

Qin Fanfan is facing tribulation in the Demon Realm, and the Sect Master of the Sword Inquiry Sect is about to ascend to immortality. Naturally, the Seventh Elder is the most respected. The cultivation world is clearly divided into classes, so you can be arrogant and domineering.

But there's no need to be so arrogant.

He didn't treat those with lower cultivation levels in the cultivation world as human beings at all. His disciples were bossed around by him, causing trouble everywhere. As a result, those disciples had to hide their identities when they went out, lest they be discovered by the rogue cultivators and killed together.

Fortunately, the demonic path has been rampant in the cultivation world recently, which makes the problems of the Five Sects seem insignificant.

But is that really the case?

Not necessarily. Whether the cultivation world is in chaos or not can be seen by looking at the situation of the five sects. Their situation is also very bad. Without those disciples suppressing the demons everywhere and eliminating evil to protect the righteous path, the demons who came out of the Demon Abyss have committed a lot of killings.

Amidst the turmoil, ordinary cultivators were utterly helpless; in the cultivation world, those with weaker cultivation levels were not in the control of their own lives.

Ye Qiao's actions were too high-profile and eccentric. All her disciples who received the news felt a toothache, but what could they do? It wasn't the first time she had acted up. The Seventh Elder's desire to kill her was obvious. With the thought that they couldn't let her die in the formation, the various sects rushed to the scene. Their colorful sect uniforms were intertwined, and they all flew at lightning speed on their swords.

Because of the excessive speed, only the hem of her clothes remained fluttering.

Someone whistled, "Awesome!"

These personal trainees are constantly out in the water and fire. When will it be their turn to be personal trainees?

The disciples who rushed over on their swords saw Ye Qiao step into the Eighteen Killing Formation. They looked at each other for a moment, vaguely aware of the formation's power, which had turned even the toughest monsters into blood upon entering.

Without a second thought, Duan Hengdao threw in a handful of black iron, intending to test the power of the formation and see if he could go in and rescue the person himself.

As a result, when a whole piece of black iron was thrown in, not a sound was heard; it was completely twisted into dust.

Several artifact crafters remained silent; the black iron, nearly a hundred years old…

It turned into powder in a light, airy way, and everyone felt a chill run through their bodies.

Even Xuan Tie suffered this fate after entering.

Wouldn't that mean Ye Qiao is completely dead?

Ye Qiao remained nonchalant within the formation, while several peak masters, observing her expression through the water mirror conjured by the Seventh Elder, hurriedly began to watch their little Qiao's demeanor.

No matter how you look at it, it seems like she's surrendering and giving up on the spot.

The Seventh Elder said in a deep voice, "Are you here to die?"

Or is there some backup plan?

The Seventh Elder was very wary of Ye Qiao.

After all, she's not someone to be trifled with.

"You'd be better off surrendering and showing some decency," the Seventh Elder said calmly via telepathy. "Do you really want to die?"

"I don't have any other choice right now."

Ye Qiao was still rambling on with him.

Immediately, the Seventh Elder's booming voice rang out: "If you know what's good for you and kill yourself, I might consider sparing the lives of your senior brothers."

Pooh,

Shameless old man.

He showed no intention of lowering his voice.

After all, if she didn't know what was good for her, she would die in the next second.

Ye Qiao remained unmoved, coldly observing the formation before her. What everyone considered a deadly killing formation was actually nothing special. Formations may vary, but they all share the same fundamental principles, and the formations of the Changming Sect were no exception. Even if it was a killing formation, those below the Void Refinement level would have no chance of survival, but she was not at the Void Refinement level.

Moreover.

She had seen this formation before.

Xie Chuxue is undoubtedly a talented person. He teaches a little bit of everything, and whether they can learn it depends entirely on their comprehension. His array formation lessons are just going about whatever comes to mind, and he occasionally likes to talk nonsense. What sounds reasonable is actually utter rubbish.

In this environment, Ye Qiao had seen all sorts of demons, monsters, and formations.

She was highly skilled and adept at manipulating formations; she didn't even need to use hand seals to break the formations with her sword.

Formations are like solving math problems, especially math problems that can change at any time. All sorts of numbers from the formation flood your mind. While facing unpredictable killing moves, you also have to find the unique solution from a dense array of numbers.

That's not the most important thing.

The most crucial point is that the formation can move!

You might figure it out one second, and the formation might change the next.

How difficult is it to find the core of the formation?

Those who can manipulate formations are generally quick-witted. Talisman cultivators can still find a way out, but sword cultivators trapped inside will face a near-certain death unless they overwhelm the enemy with their superior cultivation level.

Ye Qiao wasn't a sword cultivator; she was an agile talisman cultivator. Faced with the ever-changing array of deadly moves, she didn't even blink.

The twisted killing move struck him, turning into quicksand that shattered and flowed to the ground.

The unstoppable killing move was like a gentle touch that didn't even touch her clothes.

The Seventh Elder's expression was solemn.

What's going on?

Time passed second by second.

Duan Hengdao was still sorting through equipment. There were no talisman cultivators here, so naturally they couldn't offer any guidance or help. However, they had been in a love-hate relationship for several years and knew each other's true nature.

They also knew what kind of people the Yueqing Sect members were. Their elders were always shrewd and knew when to advance and retreat. They never wanted their disciples to get involved in such matters. After all, it was a calamity for the Changming Sect no matter how you looked at it, so why would they interfere?

The Sword Inquiry Sect values ​​relationships highly, so they will definitely come.

The Azure Water Sect, huh...

Miao Miao is now at Changming Sect, and whether it's for her junior sister's sake or for their camaraderie, Si Miaoyan can't possibly abandon Changming Sect. Duan Hengdao went through all the sects he knew, but still couldn't find a suitable magic weapon or spiritual artifact.

His hands trembled involuntarily. Qin Huai pressed on his shoulder, signaling him to calm down. If all else failed, he would simply enter the formation and pull Ye Qiao out.

As the sect's most treasured spiritual weapon, the Qingfeng Sword is a formidable opponent for most sword spirits, except for the Flying Immortal Sword, which can continuously increase its stats. If one reaches the state of perfect harmony between man and sword, it can even defeat four opponents of the same level.

Even if he couldn't break through the eighteen formations, he was confident that with the help of the sword spirit, he could get out of the formation.

The premise is...

The premise is that Ye Qiao doesn't die inside. That seems unlikely.

When Mingxuan arrived with his fellow disciples, he saw her enter the Eighteen Formations. He hurriedly tried to enter as well, but his eldest brother grabbed his collar and pulled him back.

"Wait a minute, don't go in and cause trouble."

Ye Qiao was not reckless.

She doesn't do things she's not sure about.

Moreover, they have many trump cards up their sleeves, and others are indeed confused by their concern.

Of course, even knowing Ye Qiao's personality, they expected that Ye Qiao would be injured to some extent. The Eighteen Formations was a famous killing formation of the Changming Sect. Even the Seventh Elder, who was at the peak of the Body Integration Realm, would need some time to set up such a formation. Therefore, those below the Refinement Realm were not qualified.

Even those who understand formations will suffer significant injuries if they attempt to execute the Eighteen Formations.

The Seventh Elder, observing the situation within the formation, realized something was amiss and immediately commanded all the peak masters, "You few, go and stop those disciples. The rest of you, follow me into the formation and capture Ye Qiao."

Ye Qiao is doomed to die today.

It was too late by the time he took action.

As the formation trembled, the thin spiritual energy shield cracked like a spider web, revealing countless lines. As the cracks spread faster and faster, everyone retreated. With a bang, the formation shattered.

Ye Qiao turned around with her sword in hand, her gaze meeting the shocked or bewildered eyes of the others.

Everyone seemed startled, and after a long while, they blinked.

Just like that, so easily? They passed through the eighteen formations without a scratch.

Grass.

Qin Huai realized that he had worried for nothing.

What level is she at now?
