The whole family went mad, but the junior sister turned the tables and her luck soared.

As it turns out, the difference between the male lead and the villain is that the male lead has a stronger moral compass.

It's not that he didn't think of it, it's that he couldn't do it.

Yun Yici thought for a moment, and realized she had another idea, though she didn't know if it would work.

She closed her eyes, feeling the flow of the wind in the void, carefully discerning the countless scents carried on the wind.

When she was building her foundation, she could discern what was happening in the unknown land ahead by the scent in the wind.

Now that she has the Golden Elixir, she can communicate with the winds from even further away.

Moreover, this wasn't due to her sense of smell, but rather an innate affinity with the wind brought about by her spiritual root.

However... she sensed far too much information.

Yun Yici looked around and climbed to the tallest building in the outer city, with Ning Tinglan by her side.

The scents in the high-altitude wind were diluted, and the first thing Yun Yici sensed was the scent of Rong Xuan, who was of the same kind as her.

The powerful demons possess a much stronger demonic aura than the lesser demons, which is why they can intimidate both monsters and lesser demons when they unleash their power.

Although Shi Yan and the others have only recently taken human form, they are still far superior to the lesser demons living in the outer city of Qingqiu who have not even fully taken human form.

It's hard to describe that difference with words.

If I had to use an analogy, it would be like a few cultivators hiding in a mortal city; they are fundamentally different from mortals without spiritual power.

So first eliminate the lesser demons with ordinary auras, then go to the places with unusual auras.

It was fortunate that Bai Wu and the others chose the outer city of Qingqiu as their location; otherwise, she would have been helpless.

"Come on, Senior Brother Ning, I know where they are."

The two resumed their disguises, with Ning Tinglan following behind Yun Yici and obeying her commands.

In less than half an hour, the two of them had captured all six people on the other side.

Rong Xuan: ? ? ?

Twilight Clouds: ? ? ?

Imperial Edict: ! ! !

The emperor saw Yun Yici come to him and took the initiative to come out, so he naturally did not resist.

To his shock, when he was led back to the inner city by the fox clan elders, even Rong Xuan and Mu Yunjian had been captured.

So he was the last one, which shows that Yun Yici showed mercy.

Shi Yan gloated from the side: "You went easy on them, but they won't go easy on you at all, even though you're from the same sect."

Mu Yunjian retorted expressionlessly, "Shut up. The first person to be arrested has no right to speak."

He was the fifth.

There was no other way; it was Yun Yici and Ning Tinglan who came.

Trusting him, he neither resisted nor ran away, and obediently handed over the items.

Unexpectedly, after arriving here, they discovered that apart from the imperial edict, their entire group was complete.

Mu Yunjian had already guessed Yun Yici's thoughts at that time; she must have been absolutely certain before she did it.

This game of hide-and-seek is just a facade; the essence is still a struggle for treasure.

There were twelve treasures in total. The one in Di Zhao's hand was the Immortal Wutong Seed, while the four of them had defensive magic artifacts given to them by Wen Fuyue.

It's like family members taking things that belong to them; it's like money flowing from one pocket to another, so there's nothing to say about it.

After removing the five of them, there are seven items left.

He and Rong Xuan had already taken two items, so there were five left.

Yun Yici's goal is to obtain as many of the remaining five treasures as possible.

They have three items, but it wouldn't be fair to only target those three demon cultivators.

So let's just wipe them all out in one fell swoop, so that Yun Yici and Ning Tinglan can openly and legitimately take the three treasures.

In the end, only Yun Yici's group of four remained.

They will inevitably be divided into two teams of two.

If they're lucky, Yun Yici and Ning Tinglan will be in the same group and have the first move, then all seven treasures of the demon cultivator will be theirs.

Even if they're unlucky, they're guaranteed at least five items, and it's not a big deal if they don't get the other two, since the bigger the tree, the more the wind will blow against it.

Moreover, this method has an advantage: it can quickly resolve tonight's hide-and-seek activity in at most half an hour to an hour.

In the end, they'll all be arresting their own people anyway.

The emperor and Rong Xuan shared the same idea.

Shi Yan was unaware that Yun Yici's act of sacrificing family for the greater good was for the group's victory, and thought that Mu Yunjian had been hurt by his words.

He had long suspected that Mu Yunjian and Rong Xuan had gone easy on Yun Yici and the other person.

So in the second half, he tried to persuade Ciying to follow Muyunjian and Rongxuan, attempting to find clues about the two cultivators.

As a result, Mu Yunjian and Rong Xuan seized Fuyu right in front of them, leaving them empty-handed.

Shi Yan originally planned to lie low for half an hour before regrouping, but unexpectedly, his ambitions were thwarted and he was captured instead.

And they even dragged Ciying into a ditch.

Ci Ying was tricked by Shi Yan into running around all night, and she was still confused when she was caught.

"But why do they seem to know where we're hiding?"

This question also lingered in the minds of the great demons watching the battle.

Hua Chong had become much more obedient after being shocked by the appearance of the Candle Dragon.

Anyway, Hua Yi was eliminated early on, so these disputes have nothing to do with him. Why should he get involved?

The question came from the chieftain of the Sanqing Clan: "Lady Baiwu, didn't you say you blocked the cubs' sense of smell? Why does this female cultivator seem to be..."

She couldn't think of a way to describe Yun Yici's extraordinary behavior for a long time.

Bai Wu was also puzzled. She looked at Wen Fuyue curiously and asked, "I wonder what kind of magic weapon Fellow Daoist Wen gave to young friend Yun?"

With their sense of smell and ability to fly disabled, they could only guess that Wen Fuyue had given them some kind of secret treasure.

Wen Fuyue guessed some of it, but she couldn't expose her own disciple, so she said, "What I gave you is a defensive magic weapon, which you have already seen. There are no other magic treasures."

In fact, all the tokens they handed over to participate in this post-ritual ceremony had to go through Bai Wu.

The chieftain of the Xuan Turtle Clan sighed, "It seems that this time, heaven is not on our side."

Otherwise, how could the "hide-and-seek" game casually mentioned by the divine tree have played right into the female cultivator's hands?

The chieftains of the Lionfire Clan and the Three Green Clan were truly aggrieved. They had agreed to the rules, and now that they were overturning the table, they would inevitably be seen as sore losers.

The problem is, neither of them knows how the other did it.

As the host, Qingqiu has banned everything that should be banned.

To say that the female cultivator acted out of personal favoritism, they have no right to criticize her, since the three people under the Emperor's decree were also arrested, albeit obediently.

They all witnessed firsthand that the three individuals, including the Emperor, were indeed in Tibet.

The rules are fine, and the procedures are clear to everyone.

They acknowledge that Yun Yici has problems, but they have no evidence.

Now there are only four people left, which is obviously a two-on-two situation. Whoever is drawn with Yun Yici will win.

Even the chieftain of the Xuan Turtle Clan couldn't help but secretly pray that Xing Yu's luck would improve.

But if you were to ask who among the four is truly destined for greatness...

That is of course Ning Tinglan.

So the two senior and junior students teamed up again, and they went first once more.

In less than half an hour, Yun Yici, along with Ning Tinglan, had captured Xing Yu and Bai tide in one fell swoop.

At this moment, the great demons who were looking at the water mirror in the Demon King's Palace finally understood.

What problem? It's clearly an explosion of good fortune, which is why the Candle Dragon bows its head and is protected by destiny.

Stop fighting, go wash up and go to bed.
