Chapter 129 Spiritual Creature Finally Under Control, Strength Increases, Heroine's Counteratta

"Yao'er!" This sudden shout startled both Dai Yao and the mysterious figure.

Before they could react, a figure dressed in black robes with a sinister face appeared out of thin air. He was surrounded by intense demonic energy, and his scarlet eyes were fixed on Dai Yao. His gaze was like a tangible blade, making Dai Yao feel a faint stinging sensation on her skin, filled with murderous intent.

"Heh, you came pretty fast," Dai Yao sneered, completely unfazed. "What, so eager to offer yourself up for a kill?"

Without wasting words, Yingyue made her move immediately.

He quickly formed hand seals and chanted incantations. Dai Yao heard the incantation as if it came from the deepest hell. The surrounding space began to distort, and a powerful pressure instantly enveloped her. Dai Yao felt as if a mountain was pressing down on her, making it difficult to breathe. The mysterious figure was also enveloped by this pressure.

"A mere trick!" the mysterious figure scoffed, stepping in front of Dai Yao. His spiritual energy surged as he engaged Ying Yue in a fierce battle. The two exchanged blows, the shockwaves from their magical clashes causing the entire ancient book pavilion to tremble violently. Dai Yao saw the ancient books on the shelves shaking violently, dust falling in a flurry, and her ears filled with the deafening roar of colliding spells.

Dai Yao knew this was an opportunity! Taking advantage of the moment when the two were locked in combat, she quickly ran to the ancient book and began to break the protective seal. Her eyes were fixed on the runes on the ancient book, and her fingers moved quickly across the runes, as if playing a silent melody.

However, Yingyue was more cunning than she had imagined. While fighting the mysterious figure, he separated a wisp of his divine consciousness, which transformed into a black blade and rushed straight towards Dai Yao.

"Watch out!" At the critical moment, Xingying suddenly appeared, blocking Dai Yao's path. He held a strange staff in his hand, which he used to deflect the black blade. Dai Yao heard a sharp scraping sound as the black blade collided with the staff, causing a sharp pain in her ears.

"Shadowmoon, your opponent is me!" Star Shadow joined the battle, and the situation instantly became even more complicated.

Dai Yao felt the surrounding spiritual energy fluctuations becoming increasingly intense. She could see tiny vortexes of spiritual energy forming in the air, and the restrictions were beginning to loosen. She took a deep breath and sped up the process of breaking the seal.

Just then, she sensed a powerful force approaching...

"Oh no!" Dai Yao looked up abruptly and saw Xiao Ling, the little guy who had been trembling. Now, he was radiating a golden light, which grew brighter and brighter, like a rising sun shining in the ancient book pavilion, so bright that Dai Yao could hardly open her eyes.

Its size also increased several times, and every inch of its muscles seemed to contain endless power. It roared to the sky, and the sound was like a great bell, which made the ancient books in the Ancient Book Pavilion tremble. Dai Yao felt the ground under her feet also tremble. A powerful spiritual pressure swept out from the center of Xiao Ling and rushed out in all directions like a surging tide.

The surrounding space distorted and warped due to this force, ancient books on the shelves were blown about, and everyone's clothes fluttered in the wind. Dai Yao was filled with joy; she knew that Xiao Ling was about to become the key force for her comeback.

She quickly broke through the final restriction, and with a flash of golden light, an ancient book titled "The True Technique of Spirit Control" fell into her hands.

Opening the book, Dai Yao quickly skimmed through the contents and found a way to control the mutation of the spirit creature.

"Heaven is helping me!" Dai Yao exclaimed softly. She immediately followed the method recorded in the book, forming hand seals and chanting incantations. Golden runes flew from her fingertips and entered Xiao Ling's body.

Xiao Ling's body trembled violently, the golden light flickering erratically, as if she were enduring immense pain. Dai Yao held her breath, not daring to relax for a moment, her heart pounding involuntarily.

Suddenly, Xiao Ling stopped trembling, and the golden light stabilized. It slowly opened its eyes, which were filled with power and spirituality, and the previous chaos and fear were gone.

"Roar!" Xiao Ling let out a deafening roar, and a powerful surge of spiritual energy swept out instantly, interrupting the battle between Ying Yue and Xing Ying.

Yingyue's expression changed drastically. He sensed the terrifying aura emanating from Xiaoling and felt an ominous premonition rising in his heart.

"What...what kind of monster is this?!"

Ignoring Yingyue's exclamation, Xiaoling turned to look at Daiyao, its eyes filled with gratitude and affection.

Dai Yao smiled slightly, reached out and gently stroked Xiao Ling's head. She could feel the soft fur on Xiao Ling's head, and Xiao Ling affectionately rubbed against her hand.

"Well done, little guy!"

The next second, Xiaoling transformed into a golden lightning bolt, moving with the speed of a shooting star streaking across the night sky. Yingyue only saw a blur before his eyes, and before he could react, Xiaoling's powerful body slammed heavily into him. Yingyue was sent flying dozens of meters away like a kite with a broken string, crashing to the ground with a loud bang. A large crater instantly appeared in the ground, and the blood he spat out splattered onto the surrounding rubble, making him look utterly disheveled.

Dai Yao walked lightly toward the dying Ying Yue, each step seemingly carrying endless majesty. She looked down at Ying Yue, a cold smile curling at the corner of her lips, a smile as piercing and icy as the winter wind.

"Oh dear, sorry, I went a little too far," Dai Yao covered her mouth in feigned surprise, but her tone was full of mockery. "But who told you to come and get yourself killed? You can't blame me for this!" The people around her were intimidated by Dai Yao's powerful aura and didn't dare to breathe loudly. Their eyes were filled with awe as they looked at her.

“Next…” Dai Yao paused, a hint of coldness flashing in her eyes, “it’s time to settle our scores!”

The mysterious figure walked to Dai Yao's side and pulled her into a tight embrace. Dai Yao was stunned for a moment; her heart suddenly raced, and her cheeks flushed involuntarily. This intimate contact left her somewhat flustered; she had never experienced anything like it before, and her heart was pounding like a deer's. But at the same time, in this moment when danger had just passed, she felt inexplicably at ease, as if this embrace was a safe haven she could rely on. She wondered to herself, what kind of feelings did this mysterious figure have for her? And what were her own feelings for him?

"That scared me to death," the mysterious figure's voice was low and hoarse, tinged with lingering fear, "I thought..."

He didn't say anything more, but Dai Yao understood what he meant.

The battle just now was extremely dangerous. If it weren't for Xiaoling's sudden mutation, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

She gently patted his back, feeling the firm muscles there, and softly comforted him, "It's alright, it's all over now."

Yingyue lay on the ground, barely alive, her eyes filled with resentment and fear.

He never thought that he would be defeated by an unknown little girl.

What he found even harder to accept was that this spirit creature, which he had originally considered his for the taking, had become so powerful!

"Cough cough..." Yingyue coughed a few times with difficulty, blood trickling from the corner of her mouth. "You... who exactly are you?"

Dai Yao squatted down, smiling at him, but her tone was as cold as ice: "You should save that question for the King of Hell!"

With that, she channeled her spiritual energy, and a golden light flashed, instantly obliterating Yingyue before she could even let out a scream.

Those around them gasped in shock at the sight, their eyes filled with awe as they looked at Dai Yao.

Xingying walked up to Dai Yao, cupped his hands and said, "Congratulations, Miss Dai, on subduing such a powerful spiritual creature."

Dai Yao smiled slightly and said modestly, "It was just luck."

Xingying gave her a deep look and said meaningfully, "Miss Dai, your luck is truly... astounding."

Dai Yao's heart skipped a beat, but she asked calmly, "Oh? What do you mean?"

Xingying smiled mysteriously, without answering, and simply turned and left, leaving Dai Yao standing there, lost in thought.

The mysterious figure looked at Dai Yao and said softly, "Let's go too."

Dai Yao nodded and was about to leave when she suddenly felt a tremor beneath her feet, and the entire Ancient Books Pavilion began to shake violently.

On the wall, an ancient mural suddenly cracked open, revealing a deep passage.

“This…” Dai Yao and the mysterious figure exchanged a glance, both seeing shock in each other’s eyes.

"It seems there's an even greater secret hidden within this immortal sect..." The mysterious figure gripped Dai Yao's hand, a hint of excitement in his voice, "Let's go take a look!"

Dai Yao nodded and stepped into the mysterious passage without hesitation...

"Wait!" A voice suddenly came from deep within the passage, "Who are you?!"

Dai Yao exchanged a glance with the mysterious figure. The passage was suspicious, and there must be some hidden secrets inside.

Without hesitation, the two stepped into the passage side by side.

The passage was deep and winding downwards, with strange runes carved on the walls, shimmering with a faint light.

Dai Yao secretly activated her cheat system, sensing the flow of energy around her.

Ok?

This aura is so rich, it's like the pickled cabbage in Lao Tan pickled cabbage beef noodles. Interesting!

"Who goes there?!" The voice rang out again, tinged with wariness and hostility.

A figure slowly emerged from the darkness, dressed in a long black robe, his face hidden under a hood, making it impossible to see clearly.

"Trespassing on forbidden grounds, death!" The man in black robes spoke coldly, his voice filled with murderous intent.

Without saying a word, he unleashed a powerful attack right away. That move was really reckless!

Dai Yao and the mysterious figure were prepared and dodged the attack with a quick movement.

"Hey, not bad, Little Blackie, you're pretty hot-tempered!" Dai Yao teased while dodging the attacks.

The mysterious figure silently guarded her side, his attacks swift and deadly, his teamwork as seamless as that of longtime partners, causing the man in black robes to retreat in defeat.

"That's it? That's it? You're so bad!" Dai Yao said without holding back, but her hands moved just as quickly.

She drew a long sword that gleamed with golden light; its blade was shimmering with iridescent light, clearly no ordinary weapon.

"Let me show you how powerful I am!"

Just as Dai Yao was about to unleash her ultimate move, the man in black robes suddenly let out a strange laugh: "Trying to catch me? No way! Farewell!" With that, he crushed a jade talisman in his hand, and his figure vanished instantly.

"Wow, teleporting? That's a pretty overpowered cheat!" Dai Yao exclaimed.

Deep within the passage, a massive stone door slowly opened, revealing a magnificent golden hall behind it, exuding an ancient and mysterious aura.

Dai Yao and the mysterious figure exchanged a glance, both feeling a premonition: the real secret lies here!

"Wait!" An aged voice, carrying a hint of authority, came from the depths of the hall. "Who exactly are you people?"
