Chapter 203 Allies Return, Yao Girl Outwits

A figure slowly emerged from the shadows, carrying a nauseating sense of familiarity.

Isn't that the former "ally," now a professional villain—Tu Shan Jun!

He wore a flamboyant purple-gold Taoist robe, waved a jade-bone fan in his hand, and wore a standard villainous smirk on his face. Behind him followed a group of fierce-looking henchmen, making him look like a low-budget version of a cult leader.

This entrance was even more perfunctory than a kindergarten performance!

"Oh, isn't this our famous Demon Palace leader! What, lost here?" Tu Shan Jun said in a strange voice, his eyes full of mockery.

The air around seemed to freeze, making it hard to breathe.

Dai Yao's inner monologue was a frantic mess: Lost?

I'm here to explore!

Can't they update the villain's entrance lines? They're more cliché than the essays I wrote in elementary school!

But on the surface, she pretended to be frightened, her small hands tightly gripping the mysterious figure's sleeve, and she said in a trembling voice, "Tushan-jun... what, what do you want to do?"

I secretly glanced at the aura above Tu Shan Jun's head, and wow, there were a few abnormal golden lights mixed in with the dense black aura, flickering and erratic, just like a cheap LED light.

That kid is definitely up to something bad again!

Dai Yao's eyes darted around, and a plan came to her mind.

She deliberately raised her voice, her tone trembling with tears, and said, "I know I was wrong! I shouldn't have taken your...your..." She paused, as if trying to recall something important, "your limited edition Crane Brand spicy strips! Please, please let me go!"

Mysterious figure: "..."

Tu Shan Jun: "..."

The air was suddenly quiet.

Tu Shan Jun's smile froze, and his henchmen behind him exchanged bewildered glances.

What's the situation?

The dignified leader of the Demon Palace actually backed down because of a bag of spicy strips?

This plot doesn't seem right!

He looked at Dai Yao with suspicion, feeling that something was off.

When did this girl become so timid?

Dai Yao secretly winked at the mysterious figure and continued her act: "I...I'll give you back the spicy strips! I'll even give you double! No, triple! I just beg you to spare our lives!"

Looking at her "terrified" expression, Tu Shan Jun was secretly delighted: It seems this little girl is really scared!

He smugly waved his fan, approaching Dai Yao step by step, a sinister smile curling at the corner of his mouth: "Too late! Today, none of you will leave here alive!" He paused, a greedy glint flashing in his eyes, "Unless..." "Unless... you obediently hand over all the treasures you possess, especially that treasure that can sense fortune!" Tu Shan Jun's greedy gaze fell on Dai Yao, as if he wanted to strip her naked.

Dai Yao shrank back in fear and whispered, "I... I'll hand it over, and then you'll let us go?"

"Of course!" Tu Shan Jun assured him confidently, as if he were some honest and trustworthy gentleman.

Dai Yao bit her lip, as if making a difficult decision, and with trembling hands reached out to take a package from her storage bag...

Spicy strips.

"Here... this is what you wanted... the limited edition Crane Brand spicy strips..."

Tu Shan Jun: "..." His expression froze instantly, feeling as uncomfortable as if he had swallowed a fly.

This……

This is not quite what he imagined!

His henchmen were also completely bewildered; how was the plot getting so bizarre?

Dai Yao suppressed a laugh and continued, "And this... this is yours too!" She took out a bag of spicy strips and handed it to Tu Shanjun.

Tu Shan Jun's forehead veins bulged. He took a deep breath, trying to suppress his anger, and said through gritted teeth, "You tricked me?!"

Dai Yao blinked, looking completely innocent: "I didn't! Didn't you want spicy strips? I gave them all to you!"

Tu Shan Jun was so angry he almost vomited blood. He pointed at Dai Yao and roared, "I'm talking about a treasure! A treasure that can sense destiny! Not this piece of junk!"

Dai Yao suddenly dropped her "fearful" expression and burst into laughter: "Tushan Jun, you've finally met your match! Do you really think I'm stupid? I saw through your little tricks a long time ago!"

Tu Shan Jun's expression changed, and his henchmen behind him began to stir.

"What...what do you mean?" Tu Shan Jun asked, trying to appear calm.

"What do you mean?" Dai Yao sneered. "You think I don't know you've laid a trap here, just waiting for me and my...friend to walk right into it? You think I don't know you want to steal my treasure? You think I don't know you..."

With each word Dai Yao spoke, Tu Shan Jun's expression grew increasingly grim, and his henchmen behind him became more and more panicked.

"You...you're talking nonsense!" Tu Shan Jun shouted, his voice stern but his voice weak.

"I'm talking nonsense?" Dai Yao raised an eyebrow. "Then tell me, what are these mechanisms behind you for? And what is this array plate in your hand for?"

Tu Shan Jun was speechless; he hadn't expected Dai Yao to know everything.

Seeing Tu Shan Jun's astonished expression, Dai Yao curled her lips into a cold smile: "Tu Shan Jun, you've lost." She slowly raised her hand, a dazzling light gathering at her fingertips...

"Now, it's my turn."

The dazzling light was not a killing move, but an illusion!

Dai Yao gave a soft shout: "Illusionary Array, activate!" A mist immediately rose in the valley, obscuring the sky and the sun, and enveloping Tu Shan Jun and his minions.

Tu Shanjun and the others panicked and ran around in the fog like headless flies.

"A mere trick!" Although Tu Shan Jun was alarmed, he remained defiant, trying to calm the army with his words.

However, he was met with a series of screams.

Dai Yao moved freely through the mist, using her perception of the flow of qi to accurately find the weaknesses of Tu Shan Jun's subordinates and defeat them one by one.

"Ah! My legs!"

"I can't see!"

"Help! There's a ghost!"

Screams rose and fell as Tu Shan Jun's men fell one by one, and Tu Shan Jun's face grew increasingly grim.

He hadn't expected Dai Yao to be so powerful, capable of attacking his men with such precision even in the mist.

The mysterious figure stood outside the mist, watching Dai Yao move with ease within it, his eyes filled with admiration and affection.

He knew that Dai Yao, though seemingly mischievous and silly, was actually meticulous, intelligent, and courageous.

Dai Yao felt a warmth in her heart as she sensed the mysterious figure's gaze. A confident smile appeared on her lips.

She knew that with him by her side, she had nothing to fear.

Tu Shan Jun's forces dwindled, and he finally realized he had fallen into Dai Yao's trap. He roared, "Dai Yao, you're despicable!"

"All's fair in war, Tu Shan Jun, you don't even understand this?" Dai Yao's voice came from the mist, tinged with sarcasm.

Tu Shan Jun gritted his teeth, knowing he was in dire straits.

He looked around and realized he was all alone.

He took a deep breath, preparing to fight to the death.

Just then, the mist suddenly dissipated, and Dai Yao's figure appeared in front of Tu Shan Jun.

She held a gleaming dagger, pointing it at Tu Shan Jun's throat.

"You've lost, Tu Shan Jun." Dai Yao's voice was cold and ruthless.

Tu Shanjun looked at Dai Yao, his eyes filled with resentment and anger.

"You..." He was about to speak when he suddenly felt a powerful force binding him.

A mysterious figure appeared beside Dai Yao at some point, placing one hand on Tu Shan Jun's shoulder and suppressing Tu Shan Jun with powerful spiritual energy, rendering him unable to move.

"Yao'er, what do you want to do next?" The mysterious figure looked at Dai Yao tenderly, his eyes filled with affection.

Dai Yao looked at Tu Shanjun, a cold smile playing on her lips: "I've always been one to win people over with virtue." She paused, then gently turned the dagger in her hand, pressing it against Tu Shanjun's chin. "However, some people are not worthy of the word 'virtue'."

Tu Shan Jun's face turned ashen, but he was powerless to refute.

He, a dignified late-stage Nascent Soul expert, was actually toyed with by a mere Golden Core stage girl. This was an utter disgrace!

"Yao'er, stop wasting your breath on him, just send him to meet the King of Hell!" The mysterious figure beside him said impatiently.

"Don't be in such a hurry," Dai Yao said with a smile, looking at the mysterious figure. "The real show has only just begun." She turned to Tu Shan Jun, "Tu Shan Jun, do you think the person behind you can protect you? You're nothing but a pawn!"

Tu Shan Jun's pupils suddenly contracted, Dai Yao's words exploding in his mind like a thunderclap.

Is it...

Was he really abandoned?

"Impossible! Master promised me..." Tu Shan Jun's voice trembled slightly.

Dai Yao scoffed, "What did I promise you? Did I promise to help you conquer the world? Or did I promise you immortality? Wake up, Tu Shan Jun, you're just a pawn to him, a pawn he can discard once he's done using you!"

Tu Shan Jun's face turned pale. He finally realized that he had been wrong from the very beginning.

He was used by his so-called "master" and blinded by his so-called "promises," ultimately leading to this tragic end.

Just as Dai Yao was preparing to deliver the final blow to Tu Shan Jun, a sudden change occurred!

A powerful force suddenly surged from the depths of the valley, instantly enveloping the entire valley.

This force was powerful and strange, and both Dai Yao and the mysterious figure felt an unprecedented sense of oppression.

"What's going on?" The mysterious figure asked with a grave expression.

"Not good! It's a restriction!" Dai Yao's expression changed. She felt that this power was trying to imprison them.

"Trying to trap me? Not so easy!" Dai Yao snorted coldly, preparing to forcefully break through the restriction, only to find that the restriction was even stronger than she had imagined.

Just then, a chilling voice came from the depths of the valley: "Heh, Dai Yao, you really didn't disappoint me. Too bad, you can't escape today!"

Dai Yao and the mysterious figure exchanged a glance, both feeling a sense of foreboding.

"Who are you?" Dai Yao asked sharply.

"Heh, want to know who I am? Then just surrender obediently!" the chilling voice rang out again. "Otherwise, you can expect to be swallowed up by this restriction!"

Dai Yao gripped the dagger tightly, her eyes sharp.

She knew that an even greater crisis awaited them...

"You think you can trap me with this lousy restriction?"
