Chapter 78 The Decisive Battle for the Throne: Yao Girl Reaches the Pinnacle
Dai Yao turned around abruptly, her eyes sharp as a knife.
There was no one behind him, only the flickering lights of the Demon Palace casting dappled shadows.
She sneered, "Playing tricks!" However, alarm bells rang in her heart, and a strange sense of crisis surged up like a tide.
Could it be a shadow?
No, impossible. With his strength, he has no need to hide.
Meanwhile, at the Demon Palace Crown Prince selection venue, the atmosphere was tense and fraught with danger, resembling a large-scale battleground.
All forces gathered together, undercurrents surged, and the air was thick with the smell of gunpowder.
Dressed in black, Dai Yao appeared silently before everyone like a ghost in the night.
She looked around, her gaze finally settling on the Demon Prince on the high platform.
"Heh, it's finally starting." She chuckled lightly, a hint of sarcasm in her voice.
The Demon Prince looked down at her with disdain, "Dai Yao, do you think you can turn the world upside down?" Before he finished speaking, he had already made his move, and a sharp sword aura rushed straight towards Dai Yao.
Dai Yao dodged easily with a flash, "That's it? I thought it was some kind of powerful move, is that all?" She made sarcastic remarks, but her hands did not slow down at all. She summoned her magic weapon and engaged in a fierce battle with the Demon Prince.
The Second Prince and the Third Princess of the Demon Realm were not to be underestimated either; the two joined forces and attacked Dai Yao from the side.
Dai Yao fought against three opponents with ease, dodging attacks while looking for opportunities to counterattack.
"Tsk tsk tsk, are you two teaming up to fight monsters? Why don't you come at me together, so as not to waste time." As she spoke, she summoned a talisman and deflected the Third Demon Princess's attack back.
Caught off guard, the Third Demon Princess was struck by her own attack and fell to the ground in a sorry state.
"That's it? That's it? Is the Third Princess trying to be funny?" Dai Yao mocked mercilessly.
The Second Prince of Demons' face turned ashen, his eyes fixed on Dai Yao with a sinister glint. "Dai Yao, don't be so arrogant!" He unleashed a magical weapon and attacked Dai Yao.
The onlookers were dumbfounded. Dai Yao was too strong. She could fight three people at once and still do it with ease.
"This girl's got something!" someone couldn't help but exclaim.
"Who can argue with that? He's practically a king!"
Just then, Dai Yao suddenly sensed a powerful aura approaching.
A slight smile played on her lips, and a sly glint flashed in her eyes.
"The show is about to begin..." she whispered, then stomped her foot.
With a loud "boom," the entire Demon Palace trembled.
"What's going on?!" everyone exclaimed.
Dai Yao looked up at the sky, a meaningful smile playing on her lips.
"coming……"
"Boom—" After a loud noise, the ground in the center of the Demon Palace cracked open, revealing dense runes underneath.
A dazzling golden light shot into the sky, forming a huge array that enveloped the entire hall.
"What the hell?!" The Demon Prince's expression changed drastically. He then realized that he had fallen into Dai Yao's trap.
He frantically channeled his spiritual power, trying to break the formation, but found it was all in vain.
"Dai Yao! How dare you plot against me, the Crown Prince!" he roared, his voice filled with resentment and fear.
"Ambush? Your Highness, this is called all's fair in war, understand?" Dai Yao stood outside the formation, smiling at him like a cat that had just stolen some cream.
"Speaking of which, Your Highness, it's a real shame you're not an actor with that expression on your face."
At the same time, the Second Prince of the Demon Realm also discovered that his spiritual power was imprisoned.
"Dai Yao, what have you done?!" he roared, his eyes filled with even greater terror.
"Oh dear, Second Prince, don't get excited. It's just a small buff," Dai Yao shrugged, looking completely innocent. "After all, with your strength, it would be quite frightening to unleash it."
Princess Demon Three was in no better shape. Dai Yao cleverly lured her into the attack range of other forces, instantly making her the target of everyone's attacks.
"Dai Yao! You're despicable!" she screamed, desperately dodging the attacks.
“Same to you, Third Princess,” Dai Yao shrugged. “Your methods before weren’t exactly noble either, were they?”
Dai Yao looked around at the chaotic crowd and a smug smile appeared on her lips.
"Everyone, the real show is just beginning." As she spoke, a jade slip appeared in her hand, which she held high.
“This contains some people’s unspeakable secrets,” she drawled, her tone full of mockery.
Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed, and they all looked at the hidden force lurking in the shadows, their eyes filled with suspicion and vigilance.
Dai Yao made the contents of the jade slip public, exposing the conspiracy and trickery of the hidden forces over the years.
In an instant, public sentiment was aroused, and the hidden forces became the target of everyone's anger, leaving them with no place to stand in the Demon Palace.
With the dust settled, Dai Yao stood in the center of the chaotic hall, becoming the biggest winner in the struggle for the throne within the Demon Palace.
She looked at everyone and slowly said, "From today onwards, I will be in charge of the Demon Palace."
Suddenly, a figure rushed out from the crowd and hugged Dai Yao tightly... "Yao Yao..." His voice trembled, filled with deep affection.
Before Dai Yao could react, she was tightly embraced by a figure.
"Yao Yao..." A deep and trembling voice rang in her ear, filled with deep affection and... a hint of barely perceptible grievance.
Dai Yao: ? ? ?
Melon-eating people:! ! !
Wait, what's going on?
What's with this sudden appearance of dog food?
Everyone stared wide-eyed, afraid of missing a single moment of the spectacle.
The Demon Prince, the Second Demon Prince, and the Third Demon Princess were filled with disbelief.
The failure to seize the throne was already disheartening enough for them, and now they have to be forced to watch their lovey-dovey moments?
This is a critical hit within a critical hit!
Dai Yao stiffly looked down and saw the arms wrapped around her waist.
These hands are well-defined, long, and powerful; they belong to the kind of man who is... extremely dangerous.
The dangerous man slowly raised his head, revealing an incomparably handsome face.
It was none other than the mysterious figure whose identity remained a mystery, who had always been silently protecting her.
"Yaoyao, you scared me to death." His voice was tinged with lingering fear, his deep eyes filled with tenderness. "You mustn't take such risks again, okay?"
Dai Yao: ...Big brother, is this the time to talk about this?
Look at the crowd of onlookers around you. Have you considered their feelings?
"Ahem," Dai Yao cleared her throat awkwardly, "Um... young master, could we settle our business first?"
The mysterious figure then noticed his surroundings, his handsome face flushed slightly, but he did not loosen his grip at all.
"Yaoyao, don't worry, from now on I will always protect you and never let you suffer any injustice again."
Everyone: !!! Good grief, this is practically an official announcement!
Dai Yao rubbed her forehead, feeling a slight headache.
This sudden confession caught her off guard.
Just then, Elder Zixing walked over, looking at Dai Yao and the mysterious figure with a complicated expression.
"Congratulations, Miss Dai Yao, on your final victory. However..." He paused, his tone becoming serious, "I have received news regarding the trial of immortal destiny..."
Dai Yao's heart skipped a beat. A trial of immortal destiny? What is that?
The mysterious figure also frowned, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes.
"Yaoyao, be careful, there might be a trap here."
Elder Zixing nodded and said in a deep voice, "This trial of immortal destiny is extraordinary. It is said to contain great opportunities, but it is also accompanied by great dangers..."
Before he finished speaking, a guard dressed in black suddenly appeared, knelt on one knee, and presented a jade slip with both hands.
"Reporting to your Excellency, this was sent by Miss Lingxi on my orders."
Dai Yao took the jade slip, probed it with her divine sense, and her expression instantly turned solemn.
"Lingxi said that this trial of destiny is related to... the chosen one."
The mysterious figure's expression changed, and he grabbed Dai Yao's hand. "Yao Yao, let's go!"
Before the onlookers could recover from the previous onslaught of public displays of affection, they heard Dai Yao utter the words "Chosen One," instantly igniting another uproar.
"Holy crap, the Chosen One is here too? This battlefield is getting more and more exciting!"
"Yao Nu is defying the heavens! She even dares to try and take advantage of the chosen one!"
"Exciting! This is so exciting! I'm definitely going to follow this drama!"
Dai Yao's inner monologue: Trying to scam someone? Do you think I'm that kind of person? I'm clearly there to seize an opportunity!
The mysterious figure frowned, looking at Dai Yao with concern: "Yao Yao, this is too dangerous, let's not go."
Dai Yao patted his hand and gave him a reassuring look: "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Then, she turned to Elder Zixing, "Elder, what do you know about the trial of immortal destiny?"
Elder Zixing stroked his beard and said in a deep voice, "This trial of immortal destiny is a legacy left behind by an ancient great being, which is said to contain the secret to becoming an immortal. However, the trial is also extremely dangerous; a slight mistake will result in annihilation."
Dai Yao's heart skipped a beat. The secret to becoming an immortal? The temptation was too great!
"Yaoyao, let's go," the mysterious figure urged again.
Dai Yao shook her head: "No, I'm going. Fortune favors the bold, I'll take a gamble, and maybe I'll turn a bicycle into a motorcycle!"
The mysterious figure was about to say something more when Dai Yao interrupted, "Don't worry, I'll be careful. Besides, didn't you say you'd always protect me?"
The mysterious figure sighed helplessly, knowing he couldn't persuade Dai Yao.
Once this woman makes a decision, she will never easily change it.
"Okay, I'll go with you."
Dai Yao smiled and gave him a "you know what's good for you" look.
Thus, Dai Yao and her group, along with the remnants of the Demon Prince's forces who had come upon hearing the news, the scheming forces of the Second Demon Prince, and the covetous faction of the Third Demon Princess, set off in a grand procession toward the place where the Immortal Destiny would begin.
On the way, Dai Yao received a message from Miao Wan: "Yao Yao, I'm going too! Wait for me!"
Dai Yao's lips curled up slightly. It seemed that this trial of immortal destiny was destined to be anything but peaceful.
As the place where the Immortal's Fate was about to open drew closer, Dai Yao suddenly sensed a powerful fluctuation of spiritual energy. A chill ran through her as she grabbed the hand of the mysterious figure beside her. "Be careful!" A cold shiver shot from her feet to the top of her head. Dai Yao felt something lurking in the shadows, watching them...
