Chapter 156 Proving the Truth of Body Swap, Breaking the Rift Between Immortals and Demons

As the Nine-Turn Exquisite Array activated, Dai Yao felt a flash of cold light before her eyes. The immortal energy was like countless icy blades, its sharp light stinging her eyes before sweeping towards her relentlessly. She could hear the piercing whistling of the immortal energy, as if it would tear her apart. She gritted her teeth and summoned her natal magic weapon—a pure white jade ruyi. Holding the ruyi in her hand, she felt a cool sensation, a reassuring touch that allowed her to concentrate on resisting the array's attacks.

"That's it? Is it just a tickle?" She pretended to be tough, but inwardly she was suffering. This formation was indeed as good as its reputation. Every strike that hit the jade ruyi brought a huge force that made her arm numb. The force seemed to contain the power to destroy the world.

Worse still, the demonic cultivator inside her was like a venomous snake. She could feel a sticky, nauseating sensation spreading through her consciousness, constantly eroding her senses and trying to seize control of her body. "Little girl, give up resisting, your body is mine now!" The demonic cultivator's cold voice echoed in her mind, like sharp needles piercing her nerves, each word carrying a stinging pain.

Dai Yao felt as if her consciousness had been torn in two. On one hand, she had to fight against the visually striking and aurally whistling attacks of the formation, and on the other hand, she had to suppress the nauseating and stinging erosion of the demonic cultivator in her consciousness. It was like being in two extremes, an unbearable and excruciating experience.

"Heh, you want to steal my body? Don't you even know if you're qualified!" Dai Yao roared inwardly, mobilizing all her spiritual power. She could feel the warm, powerful sensation of spiritual power flowing through her body, forcibly suppressing the demonic cultivator's consciousness.

However, the body-swapping demonic cultivator was no pushover. He launched a frenzied counterattack, and Dai Yao's body began to tremble uncontrollably. A metallic taste filled her throat, and a mouthful of blood gushed out. She could feel the warm blood flowing from the corner of her mouth, staining her white clothes red, and her mouth was filled with the taste of blood.

"Damn it!" Dai Yao cursed inwardly. This body-swapping demonic cultivator's cultivation was so powerful. It seemed that this trial was even more difficult than she had imagined. She endured the excruciating pain in her body, a throbbing pain from the inside out, while dodging the attacks of the formation and searching for a way to break it.

Just then, she felt a strange movement within her body. The consciousness of the body-swapped demon cultivator began to weaken, a change like a gentle breeze rippling across the surface of a lake of consciousness. Dai Yao was overjoyed. Could it be that her cheat system was working? She quickly focused her mind, sensing the direction of the flow of fortune. She could almost see fortune flowing through her body like shimmering light.

"Found you!" Dai Yao sneered, and the jade ruyi shone brightly as she slammed it down hard on a weak point in the formation.

With a deafening boom, her ears rang, and a crack appeared in the formation. Dai Yao seized the opportunity, her figure flashing past her ears as she dodged a fatal attack.

"How is this possible!" Yingyue's voice was filled with disbelief. He never expected that Dai Yao would be able to find a way to break the formation under such a predicament.

"This is just the beginning!" Dai Yao wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth. The blood had dried and had a rough texture. Her eyes were full of fighting spirit.

However, at that moment, she felt a sharp pain in her body, as if an invisible hand was frantically churning her internal organs. The consciousness of the body-swapping demon cultivator was strengthened again, and even more ferocious than before!

"What...what did you do?" Dai Yao's voice trembled. She felt her consciousness being swallowed up and her control over her body gradually slipping away.

"Hehehe..." The body-swapping demonic cultivator let out a sinister laugh, a laugh that seemed to echo coldly from hell. "I told you, your body is mine!"

Dai Yao's vision blurred. She felt as if she were falling into an endless abyss, surrounded by darkness. She couldn't see anything and could only hear her own heavy breathing.

"Yao Yao!" came an anxious voice, like a ray of dawn in the darkness.

Dai Yao felt as if she had fallen into a bottomless pit, her consciousness struggling in chaos, surrounded by nothingness, without any sense of touch, only endless darkness and loneliness.

Just when she was about to give up, a warm current suddenly surged into her body. That familiar feeling... it was Xinghua! This warm current was like a shot of adrenaline, instantly dispelling the cold energy in her body. When the cold energy receded, it was like icy mist dissipating in the sunlight. The arrogance of the body-swapping demonic cultivator also subsided.

"Trying to devour me? Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself in the mirror!" Dai Yao sneered, unleashing her full divine sense. She could feel her divine sense, like a surging tide, suppressing the consciousness of the body-swapped demon cultivator.

Taking advantage of this moment of respite, Dai Yao keenly detected a very subtle aura within the formation. This aura was exactly the same as the one she had sensed from the body-swapping demonic cultivator, but it was even more sinister and cunning.

"Could it be... Shadow Moon?!" Dai Yao's heart skipped a beat. This old fox was indeed hiding his true intentions! She followed the aura and cautiously probed, as if she were playing an extremely difficult escape room game, with every step filled with unknowns and tension.

The Nine-Turn Exquisite Array's attacks remained fierce. Dai Yao felt like a butterfly dancing on the edge of a knife, and the slightest carelessness would result in her being shattered to pieces. She could hear the various whistling and colliding sounds emitted by the array's attacks, which constantly reminded her of the approaching danger.

However, the more dangerous it was, the more excited Dai Yao became, and her adventurous spirit was fully unleashed.

"Come on, let's hurt each other!" Dai Yao dodged the attacks while simultaneously breaking through the hidden restrictions within the formation. These restrictions were incredibly complex, intricately linked, each rune resembling a meticulously designed puzzle. However, for Dai Yao, who possessed the "Luck Radar," her divine sense was like a precise scalpel, gently tracing the veins of the restrictions. Those seemingly indestructible restrictions were like fragile spiderwebs, easily unraveled by her, advancing unstoppable, cutting through all obstacles.

Finally, in a secluded corner, Dai Yao discovered a carefully hidden storage artifact. The artifact still bore Ying Yue's aura, and Dai Yao was overjoyed. Could this be the legendary "concrete evidence"? She eagerly opened the artifact, revealing a stack of letters inside. The letters felt rough to the touch, and contained detailed accounts of Ying Yue's conspiracy with the body-swapping demonic cultivator, even outlining Ying Yue's next steps!

"Wow, this is like a gift delivered to my door!" Dai Yao was so excited she almost jumped up. With this evidence, she could completely clear her name and expose Ying Yue, the mastermind behind it all!

Dai Yao carefully put away the evidence and was about to leave when suddenly a cold voice rang out behind her: "Found something good, why are you so happy?"

Dai Yao turned around abruptly and saw that the body-swapped demonic cultivator had broken free from her control at some point and was staring at her with a sinister look in his eyes, as if he wanted to devour her alive.

"Oh, isn't this our little body-swapping baby? How come you've recovered so quickly?" Dai Yao teased casually, but inwardly she was lamenting that this guy had recovered way too fast!

"You think you've won?" the body-swapped demonic cultivator said through gritted teeth, his eyes filled with killing intent.

Dai Yao brandished the storage magic item in her hand, and said provocatively, "What do you think? With this, do you think you can still turn the tables?"

The body-swapping demon cultivator's expression changed, clearly indicating that he also knew the weight of this evidence.

Just as he was about to snatch it, a figure suddenly appeared and shielded Dai Yao behind him. The newcomer was Xinghua, who was holding a glittering magic treasure in his hand. It was the talisman that Dai Yao had given him earlier. The talisman emitted a soft light, which gave people a warm and reassuring feeling when it shone on them.

"If you want to touch her, you'll have to get past me first!" Xinghua's eyes were firm as she confronted the body-swapping demonic cultivator without fear.

At the same time, a commotion arose outside the formation. The Immortal Sect Leader and the Demon Lord of the Demon Palace arrived together, followed by a group of Immortal Sect disciples and Demon cultivators. The noise and footsteps of the crowd could be heard.

It turned out that Xinghua had crushed the communication talisman Dai Yao had given him at the crucial moment, informing everyone of the situation here.

Seeing this, the body-swapping demonic cultivator knew that the situation was hopeless. He glared fiercely at Dai Yao and turned to run away.

However, how could the Immortal Sect Leader and the Demon Lord of the Demon Palace let him leave so easily? The two joined forces to lay a trap, trapping the body-swapping demon cultivator within the formation.

Holding the evidence, Dai Yao immediately ran to a familiar figure—it was Zi Xing. Zi Xing excitedly picked her up and spun her around several times. Dai Yao could feel herself spinning rapidly, everything around her flashing past her vision. Zi Xing's arms were tightly wrapped around her; it was an embrace full of strength and love.

"Yaoyao, you're amazing!" He looked into her eyes, which were filled with joy and pride.

Dai Yao smiled happily, and the two hugged tightly, feeling each other's heartbeats and body temperature.

Those around them who witnessed this scene could feel the intense love between them.

Upon seeing the evidence, the sect leader's face turned ashen. He hadn't expected his disciple to commit such a heinous act. He immediately ordered the body-swapping demonic cultivator to be brought back to the sect for rigorous interrogation.

At the same time, he also decided to go to the Demon Palace in person to discuss with the Demon Lord how to deal with Shadow Moon.

Dai Yao asked to go along.

In the Demon Palace, Yingyue learns that part of her conspiracy has been exposed, and enraged, she attacks Daiyao. Daiyao can see the black dagger in Yingyue's hand drawing a strange arc in the air, heading straight for her face; the dagger carries a chilling killing intent.

Dai Yao remained calm and composed, lightly touching the ground with her toes. Her figure moved as elusively as a ghost, and she could feel the wind flowing around her as she narrowly dodged the dagger's attack.

"Oh dear, I'm so scared~" she said, but a sly smile appeared on her face.

This Yingyue really won't shed a tear until she sees the coffin! While dodging Yingyue's attacks, she secretly observed the surrounding situation.

Although the Demon Lord of the Demon Palace remained outwardly calm, a hint of worry flickered in his eyes, a worry like a faint shadow.

It seems he still has some reservations about the people of the Immortal Sect.

"Yaoyao, catch!" Zixing suddenly threw her a black sphere, which was the Demon Palace's unique hidden weapon - the Exploding Demon Pearl.

"Thanks!" Dai Yao grabbed the magic bead and hurled it at Ying Yue. She could feel the weight and smooth texture of the magic bead in her hand.

"A mere trick!" Yingyue scoffed disdainfully, swinging her dagger to knock the demonic orb away.

However, just as the magic orb was knocked away, a glint of light flashed in Dai Yao's eyes.

"Explode!" she shouted softly, and the demonic orb that had been knocked away suddenly exploded, unleashing a powerful shockwave. The shockwave carried a strong force towards Shadow Moon, and she could hear the booming sound of the explosion.

Caught off guard, Yingyue was thrown back several steps by the shockwave, looking somewhat disheveled.

"That's it? That's it?" Dai Yao put her hands on her hips, looking smug. "Is that all you've got? You dare to show off your skills in front of me?"

Yingyue's face turned ashen, and enraged, she launched another attack.

However, Dai Yao was prepared and skillfully dodged his attacks, waiting for an opportunity to counterattack.

Just as the two sides were deadlocked, the sect leader of the immortal sect suddenly spoke up: "Demon Lord, now that the evidence is conclusive and the conspiracy of the body-swapping demon cultivator has been exposed, what else do you have to say?"

The Demon Lord of the Demon Palace remained silent for a moment before slowly saying, "This matter is of great importance, and I need more time to investigate it thoroughly."

"Investigate? How long will this investigation take?" The sect leader's tone was unfriendly. "Are you going to protect this culprit?"

Just as tensions were running high, Dai Yao suddenly spoke up: "Why don't we go to a place together? Perhaps we can find more of the truth there."

"Where?" the group asked, puzzled.

Dai Yao smiled mysteriously: "An ancient ruin..." Before she finished speaking, she turned and walked into the depths of the Demon Palace.
