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

Elder Zhao was a man of great experience, and he remained composed. His hand trembled slightly, and he glanced at the people without making a sound.

Those cultivators who met his gaze blushed even more.

Although they cannot compare to Elder Zhao's level of attainment.

Even those at the Nascent Soul stage are rare in the cultivation world, given the dwindling talent pool and their advanced age. Now, having failed to cause trouble and without even having a chance to display their abilities, they were bound—a humiliating disgrace!

Elder Zhao couldn't help but exchange a glance with his old friend beside him, asking, "What level of battle is this?"

Although the Nascent Soul stage is a dimensional reduction attack compared to the Transformation stage.

But it hasn't come to this extent; it's not like it can bind so many multi-element infants just by relying on its domain.

The other elder shook his head vigorously; he didn't understand either.

but--

"You can tell it's scary just by looking at the formation."

The two exchanged glances for a long time.

Then he looked at the token in Ye Qiao's hand, one hand holding a sword, standing on a high place, looking quite smug.

They couldn't help but exchange a glance.

The only ones who can surpass Xie Chuxue's realm are those at the Tribulation Transcending stage.

It had only been a little over half a year since they last met, and their understanding of Ye Qiao's cultivation level was still stuck at the Nascent Soul stage.

I thought she was on the first floor.

So she's in the atmosphere.

The Fifth Elder suppressed his excitement, rubbed his hands together, and couldn't help but pat her on the shoulder. "Wow, Xiao Qiao is amazing."

But when he suddenly caught sight of the token in her hand, his cheerful expression vanished instantly, and he stood properly to her side.

Incredible.

—The little brat has really usurped the throne.

I must say, it was a brilliant move!

Qin Fanfan is not cut out to be a sect leader!

With the twelfth peak master present, it seemed as if the matter was over.

But Elder Zhao's expression only softened slightly for a moment before changing again.

A sword light descended from above, causing the domain to tremble. Qin Huai, who was closest, blocked it with a wave of his hand, tightening his grip little by little. The sharp, piercing sound of the wind blade striking the sword could be heard.

He was going all out, and he was heading straight for Ye Qiao. Seeing that he had been intercepted, the man who had attacked disappeared into the crowd, no longer daring to attack.

He just wanted to test Ye Qiao.

However, she forgot that there were quite a few experts standing around her.

Qin Huai figured that power was stronger than people, and since Ye Qiao was stronger than him anyway, he might even need her to get him on the front page. So, he decided to take advantage of her influence and said coldly, "How dare you! You dare to disrespect the sect leader!"

The cultivation world is clearly divided into classes, and disciples of the Five Sects are always superior when they go out to train. This is especially true for the leaders of the Five Sects. Not only do the twelve peak masters have to bow down to them, but other aristocratic families should also do the same. What about the patriarchs and other figures?

They respect you because of your age, but do you expect them to respect you now?

dream.

Zhu You hadn't expected them to attack. The girl was stunned for a moment, then immediately slashed with her sword, instantly enraged: "You bunch of old bastards! How dare you attack without any martial ethics!"

Luo Shui's sword flew into the group.

The group saw that the old man calmly stood aside, not moving or showing any fear.

After all, she was only at the Nascent Soul stage.

However, Zhu You had no intention of killing them with a single sword strike. Instead, the sword blade, which had been revolving, aimed directly at the cultivators bound by the vines.

A single sword strike draws blood and seals the throat.

They went straight for the kill.

She acted decisively, and soon people in the crowd cried out in pain.

Ye Qiao didn't kill them, so they thought they were safe because they were tied up. Little did they expect Zhu You to pull such a move. Immediately, the tied-up people struggled fiercely and realized that Zhu You couldn't kill those with high cultivation levels, but she could still attack them.

Their will to survive surged to its peak in an instant, and the bound group immediately called out to the others: "Fellow Daoists! As the saying goes, 'Turning back is the shore!'"

"Yes, yes, yes."

Don't do anything reckless.

Those who weren't bound were of higher cultivation levels, so whether they died or not was unknown to them, but all those below the late Nascent Soul stage were bound by this domain and became lambs to the slaughter.

"How dare you disregard the lives of the cultivators? Do you have any respect for the people of the cultivation world?!"

Never mind.

They're all going to die, so of course we have to raise the banner of the common people to condemn these people!

They couldn't beat Ye Qiao, nor did they dare to bargain with her, but they could negotiate with these powerful figures who were taking advantage of the situation.

They were all in cahoots before, but now that they're tied up, their lives are in Ye Qiao's hands. If they want to survive, of course they have to attack their teammates.

As a result, their teammates ignored them and showed little expression when facing the person who had just been killed; each one was more indifferent than the last.

We're all in a cooperative relationship, so who cares if one or two people die?

Moreover...

They exchanged a glance.

Since Ye Qiao didn't undergo the tribulation, her cultivation level is still unstable.

"Why not take this opportunity..."

Someone must have given the go-ahead.

It immediately struck a chord with everyone.

If you miss this opportunity, you'll never have another chance.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, they disregarded all other considerations and launched their attack. In an instant, the five elements shifted, a hurricane swept across the sky, flames filled the air, and killing intent permeated the air.

It's clear they're ready to take a gamble.

After all, things have come to this point.

The Changming Sect has a Tribulation Transcending stage, so they will definitely not let them go. Even if things are already this bad, what are we afraid of?

Chu Ling thought these people would have some reservations, but instead they provoked them into acting like madmen, so she stopped bothering to argue with them.

With a slam of her chess piece, the black and white pieces flew in, first feinting and then solidifying, one after the other, creating a magical chessboard that rose out of thin air. With a wave of her delicate hand, the sword cultivators who had attacked vanished without a trace. The chessboard was now a chaotic mess, filled with smoke and gusts of wind, where a single wrong step could instantly turn one into a bloody mist.

Cause and effect, there must be a cause. These old men made the first move, so their counterattack is nothing.

Although Chu Ling is not a strong fighter, the magical weapon in his hand is truly formidable.

If she were to harden her heart and capture all the pieces on the chessboard, she could probably turn everyone to dust in an instant.

Seeing this scene, Chen Muzhen looked at Chu Ling with awe.

He knew that Chu Ling had held back when she hit him earlier.

It's true that those who know when to yield are wise; just look at what happened to his master—they're all dead now.

The spirit swords were drawn one after another, and the twelve peak masters, seeing this, also formed hand seals and gripped their swords. With experts from all the major cultivation worlds gathered here, Elder Zhao and his companions hurriedly rushed to their side, coldly asking, "Are you trying to fool us by saying we have no one to rely on?"

Various magical treasures flew around wildly, and the domains were closed. From the Nascent Soul stage to the Deity Transformation stage, and even the Void Refinement and Integration stages, they clashed and collided. The disciples with lower cultivation levels coughed up blood on the spot, lay on the ground trembling, and did not move.

Who would dare to make a move?

If what was just now was a group of people comparing equipment, then once their senior sister took the sect leader's token, it became a contest of cultivation levels.

Forgive their limited knowledge, but the only phrase they can think of is, "This is awesome, that is awesome too."

The level of these people is terrifying, one more terrifying than the next! They are simply not people they can get involved in.

Ye Qiao's oppressive aura made it difficult for them to move an inch. However, some elders had a way to resist the oppressive aura, and one of them used a whisk to strike her.

Seeing this, KFC, who had been silent all along, was enraged. The phoenix fire could burn anything, and his own natal artifact was on fire. He hurriedly screamed and went to put out the fire.

In terms of magical artifacts, no one has more than her; a single strike from the Ghost King Tower can kill a whole group of people.

Some people, seeing this, have already decided to give up.

The old man's face was grim. Looking at the magical artifact reduced to ashes, he was heartbroken and roared, "Ye Qiao, you brat! Xie Chuxue, you old hag! Don't push your luck!"

"……"Forehead.

Ye Qinghan suddenly felt that being called "little kid" before wasn't so bad after all.

Isn't this better than "old man"?

"So what if I bully you?" Ye Qiao sneered, sweeping down with the force of a thunderbolt.

As the snow-white sword light flashed, the blood and qi of everyone surged under the sword's power. Those above the Nascent Soul stage barely managed to stand, but the pressure made their knees buckle involuntarily.

The internal situation of the Changming Sect, and the specifics of the fighting, are not for outsiders to know.

But the power of Ye Qiao's sword was overwhelming, crushing everyone present!

Even outsiders are not immune to fear.

"The Changming Sect has been quite lively these past few days."

"See those dazzling magical treasures? They were all pulled out by those second-generation immortals."

Some powerful individuals look down on those strange and wonderful magical artifacts and various treasures.

Moreover, if a group of younger people fight and wins entirely by relying on magical weapons, it will be ridiculed by future generations for lacking martial ethics.

The older generation was too lazy to assemble magical treasures, but that didn't stop their disciples from pocketing all the family's treasures before descending the mountain.

What can the elders of each sect do? Their sects have it tough! They only have a few promising young talents. The cultivation world is dwindling in talent, and they are counting on these young people to bring glory to their ancestors. While others cannot get involved in these disputes between various forces, it doesn't matter to these juniors.

They don't represent any power; they're simply acting out of loyalty and coming down from the mountain to help.

We're all friends, we've known each other for a while, and you're the ones who can call on others to besiege Changming Sect, so why can't we?

As a result, the disciples of various sects took turns using all sorts of rare treasures, talismans, and elixirs.

The audience was amazed and exclaimed in amazement.

"How's their fight going?"

"It's impossible to tell what's inside." Someone hesitated for a long time before shaking their head: "Ye Qiao's domain has enveloped the Changming Sect."

Her domain was truly domineering; even divine sense couldn't probe it.

"Then what are you yelling about?"

The other party replied confidently, "Although I can't see it, the light is really dazzling."

"It's unclear who has the upper hand." Throughout the cultivation world, not only cultivators feel fear and disgust towards the demon race, but other living beings feel the same way. They are all worried about this. The Demon Abyss is in turmoil, and there will be no end to it.

The problem is that the sect leader of the Sword Inquiry Sect ascended to heaven, and from then on, he was no longer involved in worldly affairs and could not intervene. The righteous path lost its only Tribulation Transcending Stage cultivator. What will they use to support them?

Everyone was somewhat apprehensive. They could tolerate the demons, at worst they would keep a low profile, but if the Seventh Elder were to truly take power, they dared not even think about how they would live in the future.

"What is their purpose in doing this?"

"With so many innate spiritual artifacts stolen, isn't it all for the purpose of opening the Heavenly Gate?"

That place has been reserved for cultivators who have ascended to immortality since ancient times. It is especially laughable that a group of Nascent Soul cultivators and Void Refinement cultivators would try to ascend to immortality in one step.

Even the sect leader of the Sword Inquiry Sect had to work his way up step by step.

"But if we succeed, won't we be able to ascend together? Aren't you curious about what's in the sky, Senior Brother?"

"You've got a damn good fortune! You idiot! If they really succeed, the cultivation world might cease to exist." He poked his junior brother with exasperation.

The patriarchs of each family who ascended are all floating in their ascension grounds. Forcibly opening it would not only incur the wrath of Heaven, but more importantly, it would likely lead to the collapse of order and the return to chaos.

Do other people know this? Even if they do, they don't care.

To become an immortal.

When one cultivates to their level, hundreds or thousands of years have passed, and emotions have long since faded. Love, hate, anger, and delusion are nothing; only the Great Dao endures.

So they all tried to break free from the shackles of the Way of Heaven.

But for a group of normal people, it's a different story. Not everyone wants to defy fate. They can only conclude that these people's actions are...

This is suicidal! You guys are crazy, don't drag others down with you!

Unaware of the resentment from the outside world, a group of powerful figures gathered here, determined to take a gamble and capture Ye Qiao in one fell swoop.

In fact, they weren't initially so crazy about forcibly ascending to immortality. But the Seventh Elder gave them hope. Someone who had actually ascended told them that if they succeeded, they would become immortals in one fell swoop. No one could resist the temptation. If someone could, it just meant the temptation wasn't strong enough.

Ye Qiao leaped lightly, and the sword spirit of the Unseen Lord merged into the sword. Seeing them rushing towards her like madmen, she also became excited.

All the magical artifacts in her hands, except for the map which she had put away, fell into the crowd, scattering them in all directions as they were engulfed by the surging spiritual energy of the tribulation.

The group, who had been so aggressive, suddenly stopped.

Murder!

As the sect's most treasured spiritual weapon, the Han Guang Shovel can shatter half the ground with a single shovel strike, and it becomes a deadly weapon when it falls into a crowd, not to mention that she also has other spiritual swords.

That's like undergoing a tribulation.

Because they were older than Ye Qiao, and because she was really young and still confused about her tribulation, they were able to put up a stubborn resistance at first thanks to their understanding of the Great Dao. But the spiritual weapon really hurt when it hit them!

Ye Qiao initially showed some consideration, taking into account the various forces behind these people, but later she seemed to let herself go. No matter who they were, some were smashed to pieces by the Golden Lotus of Merit, while others were smashed into mincemeat by the Han Guang Shovel.

Even worse, some were cleaved in half at the waist with a single sword strike.

"She's just going to abandon her like this?" one of the older men exclaimed in astonishment.

To be honest, when they learned that Ye Qiao was in the Tribulation Transcending stage, they couldn't help but think of the two of them saying "So it's a Tribulation Transcending stage, my apologies for not being respectful" earlier. But they had lived for so many years that their skin was thicker than a city wall, so they were only slightly uncomfortable for a moment before their expressions became calm and indifferent.

"Do you really think she's gotten better?" someone asked with a wry smile.

Has the demon race become arrogant, or has the monster race lost its edge? Which of these two races is easier to deal with? Think about it carefully, is there anyone who can escape unscathed from her clutches?

In fact, regardless of whether they resist or not, the people of Changming Sect will not let them go.

Xie Chuxue held a formation diagram in his hand. As it unfolded, it unleashed a thousand killing calamities, enveloping everyone in layers. As the killing intent rose, the formation swirled. He gestured to the disciples who were trembling under the pressure of their respective realms, "Go, all of you."

With a wave of his hand, he helped them withstand the oppressive force.

With Ye Qiao in charge, the disciples followed suit and entered the formation.

Unlike Ye Qiao's Nine Revolutions Reincarnation Formation, she set up a smaller formation. However, Xie Chuxue had a formation diagram in her hand, which, when unfolded, formed its own world, with a range large enough to cover the Changming Sect's training grounds.

Apart from Ye Qiao.

They were all trapped inside the formation.

Ye Qiao was preparing to refine her cultivation level when she was suddenly isolated by the formation. She looked blankly at her martial uncle, who waved his hand, indicating that she should go to Kunlun Mountain.

This child has probably forgotten the purpose of her trip.

The key is the magical artifacts inside.

Kunlun Mountain is the Seventh Elder's lair, filled with countless array formations that even Xie Chuxue couldn't break. Everyone here is a talisman cultivator, and they understand one thing well: complex arrays sometimes only require the simplest method—that is—

Chop it up.
