Chapter 183 Enemy's Schemes Rise Again, Yao Girl Breaks Free

The atmosphere in the Demon Palace was even more somber than in the past few days.

What was just a few days ago a vague rumor has now become a real crisis—the Demon Palace's supply of materials has been cut off.

Various versions of rumors circulated in the market. Some said that the Demon Lord had offended a powerful being from the upper realm, some said that the Demon Palace's fate was sealed, and some even said that Dai Yao was an unlucky person who brought misfortune.

In short, people are in panic.

"I can't live like this anymore!" A demonic cultivator slammed the empty bowl in his hand onto the ground. "I haven't eaten meat for three days!"

“That’s right! When the Demon Lord was around, we never suffered such injustice!” another demon cultivator complained.

Similar complaints rose and fell, merging into a huge wave of noise that almost lifted the roof off the Demon Palace.

Dai Yao sat on the throne in the main hall, rubbing her temples which were throbbing slightly.

She knew that there must be a new enemy behind this.

Who is it?

Fairyland?

still is……

She closed her eyes, concentrated her mind, and sensed the flow of Qi.

Sure enough, several powerful forces of fortune intertwined, forming a huge vortex, and at the center of the vortex was the Demon Palace!

Besides the Immortal Realm, there are several other sources of this fortune...

It turned out to be an ally she had worked with before!

Ha, what a pair of "plastic allies" they really are!

Dai Yao's lips curled into a cold smile.

Want to ruin her?

Not that easy!

Dai Yao is no pushover!

She keenly sensed that the flow of fortune among these allies was unstable, and there seemed to be some contradictions between them.

The opportunity is coming!

In the following days, some "rumors" began to circulate in the cultivation world.

For example, one alliance leader might secretly hoard resources, intending to monopolize them; another might secretly collude with the immortal realm, preparing to betray the alliance...

These messages, a mix of truth and falsehood, accurately struck at the sore spots of several allies.

The alliance, which was already superficially united, began to show cracks.

"Have you heard? It seems the Crimson Flame Sect's leader has secretly reached an agreement with the Immortal Realm..."

"Really? No wonder they've been so active lately!"

"Shh! Keep your voice down! It'll be trouble if they hear us!"

As the situation unfolded according to her plan, Dai Yao smiled with satisfaction.

The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind; the real show has only just begun!

Meanwhile, the mysterious figure is dealing with some "trivial matters".

He gazed at the distant Demon Palace, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes.

Dai Yao, you must be safe and sound...

Suddenly, a powerful pressure descended from the sky, locking him firmly in place.

He suddenly looked up, his expression changing drastically...

"You... you..."

The crisis at the Demon Palace may seem to have eased, but undercurrents are surging beneath the surface.

Dai Yao's scheme successfully sowed discord among the allies, throwing them into disarray, and supplies began to be transported to the Demon Palace one after another.

However, the unease in her heart lingered, and she always felt that something was about to happen.

Meanwhile, the mysterious figure is trapped in a hidden formation.

His faction, an ancient and mysterious organization, discovered his close connection with Dai Yao, deemed him a traitor, and imposed imprisonment on him.

"You think you can fool us with your little tricks? You're too naive!" A voice rang in his ear, cold and piercing.

The mysterious figure remained silent, merely circulating the spiritual energy within his body, attempting to break free from the constraints.

He knew that Dai Yao must be worried about him, and he had to get out as soon as possible.

Dai Yao learned of the mysterious figure's predicament through the little spirit boy and was extremely anxious.

She wanted to rush over to save him immediately, but her own injuries had not yet healed, and acting rashly would only put her in greater danger.

"Damn it! This is practically a hellish difficulty dungeon!" Dai Yao scratched her hair in frustration. "Are we just going to watch him suffer? No way! I have to think of something!"

She took out a small, exquisite jade pendant, infused it with a trace of spiritual power, and then handed it to the little spirit boy.

"Give this to him and tell him that I will definitely come to save him." The little boy took the jade pendant, nodded solemnly, and his small figure disappeared into the night.

The mysterious figure accepted the jade pendant, feeling Dai Yao's presence and warmth, and a surge of power welled up within him.

He gripped the jade pendant tightly, his eyes gleaming with unwavering determination.

"Wait for me, I will definitely come back!" he whispered, his voice filled with hope for the future.

Just then, he felt the formation binding him loosen slightly...

Inside the Demon Palace, Dai Yao gazed into the distance, praying in her heart.

Suddenly, she felt a pang of fear; a powerful aura was rapidly approaching the Demon Palace.

"Something's wrong! Something's happened!" Dai Yao's expression changed, and she suddenly stood up.

A chilling voice echoed above the Demon Palace: "Dai Yao, it's been a long time..."

Above the Demon Palace, a chilling voice, like a death knell, lingered and refused to leave.

“Dai Yao, it’s been a long time…” Dai Yao sneered and looked up at the sky. She saw a figure dressed in a black robe with his face hidden under a hood slowly descending.

"Long time no see? I think you're tired of living, daring to run wild on my turf!" Dai Yao retorted without any politeness, but secretly she was on high alert. This guy's entrance was definitely the standard for a villainous BOSS!

Before she could finish speaking, several dark figures darted out from all directions, attacking Dai Yao like ghosts.

These assassins were all agile and ruthless; they were clearly not to be trifled with.

"What the hell? Are you going to use a tag-team strategy? A sneak attack? Do you guys have any manners?" Dai Yao complained as she directed her guards to fight back.

"Sisters, grab your weapons! Let's show them the might of our Demon Palace!" The guards of the Demon Palace were no pushovers either; one by one, they drew their weapons and engaged the assassins in fierce combat.

Taking advantage of the chaos, Dai Yao quickly set up a simple formation around them.

"Come on in, everyone! Come and have some fun! Enjoy a free luxury SPA package!"

The assassins were caught off guard and fell into the trap.

The formation was activated, and various magical attacks poured down like a storm.

"Aaaaaah! What the hell is this?!" "Help! I need to get out!"

The assassins were thrown into chaos, their previously coordinated teamwork disrupted.

"That's it? You dare to assassinate me? I think you're just joking!" Dai Yao couldn't help but laugh as she looked at the disheveled assassins in the formation.

Enraged, the assassins attempted to break the formation together.

They unleashed a variety of bizarre attacks, and the light from the array began to flicker erratically.

Dai Yao dared not be careless and kept adjusting the formation while directing the guards to counterattack.

Just then, Dai Yao keenly noticed that the assassins would subconsciously protect their left shoulder when they attacked.

"Heh, I see!" Dai Yao's lips curled into a sly smile. "Sisters, aim for their left shoulders and give them a good beating!" The guards received the order and concentrated their firepower on the assassins' left shoulders.

"Ah!" "My arm!"

The assassins screamed in agony, and their formation completely collapsed.

Seeing that things were going badly, the remaining assassins abandoned their companions and fled in a sorry state.

"Trying to run? Not so easy!" Dai Yao snorted coldly, about to give chase, when she suddenly felt a strong sense of pressure.

The figure in black robes slowly raised his head, revealing his face beneath the hood. His tone was chilling. "It seems I underestimated you..." The hood fell down, revealing a handsome yet sinister face.

Dai Yao's heart skipped a beat. With that kind of looks, she could definitely debut as a celebrity, but unfortunately, she has a villainous face.

The man in black robes sneered, "Dai Yao, your little tricks end here." His body surged with spiritual energy, and the powerful pressure made the demon palace guards present feel breathless.

Dai Yao outwardly feigned composure, but inwardly she was furiously complaining: This person who comes with their own background music (BGM) and special effects is obviously a troublesome character!

"Heh, quite the boast," Dai Yao raised an eyebrow. "Want to capture me? You'll have to see if you have the ability!" With that, spiritual energy gathered in Dai Yao's hand, and a long sword gleaming with cold light appeared in her grasp.

"Sisters, don't be cowards! Let's take him down!" At Dai Yao's command, the Demon Palace guards charged forward again.

However, the black-robed man's strength far exceeded their expectations.

He simply waved his hand casually, sending the rushing guards flying.

"These shrimp soldiers and crab generals think they can stop me?" A hint of disdain flashed in the black-robed man's eyes, and in a flash, he appeared in front of Dai Yao.

In the critical moment, a figure suddenly appeared and stood in front of Dai Yao.

"If you want to touch her, you'll have to get past me first!" The newcomer was none other than Dai Yao's mysterious accomplice.

He held a long knife, his gaze fixed firmly on the man in black.

"And who do you think you are?" the man in black asked dismissively.

The mysterious helper ignored his provocation and simply protected Dai Yao behind him.

"Long time no see," he said softly, his voice carrying a hint of tenderness.

Dai Yao felt a warmth in her heart; this guy was actually quite reliable in crucial moments.

The two fought side by side, engaging in a fierce battle with the man in black robes.

Although the men in black robes were powerful, Dai Yao and her mysterious helper worked together seamlessly, and they were unable to defeat them for the time being.

Just then, there was a commotion in the distance.

"Oh no! The healing camp has been attacked!" a guard rushed in to report.

Dai Yao's expression changed: "Damn it! They used a feint!" The man in black robes sneered: "Dai Yao, you should worry about yourself!"

His spiritual power surged again, and his powerful attack forced Dai Yao and the mysterious helper back.

"Yao Yao!" The mysterious helper grabbed Dai Yao's hand, his eyes filled with worry.

"I'm fine." Dai Yao forced a smile. "You protect Xiao Ling Tong, I'll be right back!" With that, Dai Yao resolutely turned around and ran towards the healing camp.

"Yao Yao..." The mysterious helper watched Dai Yao's departing figure, his heart filled with worry.

He gripped the long sword tightly, his eyes resolute: I will protect you and wait for you to come back...

The man in black robes looked in the direction Dai Yao had left, a sinister smile curling at the corner of his lips: "The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind... This good show has only just begun..." Suddenly, as if sensing something, he turned around sharply and saw an old man dressed in white, with an air of otherworldly wisdom, slowly walking towards him.

The old man smiled, but his tone carried an undeniable air of authority: "Sir, this ends here." The black-robed man's pupils contracted slightly...
