Chapter 75 Crisis of Counterattack, Yao Girl Wins
Dai Yao pushed open the door of the council hall and bumped into the Third Demon Princess, who was crying with tears streaming down her face, looking pitiful.
"Dai Yao, have you... seen Biluo?" The Third Demon Princess choked back tears, her beautiful eyes fixed on Dai Yao, the resentment in them almost tangible.
Dai Yao sneered inwardly, but remained outwardly calm: "Biluo? The personal maid of the Third Demon Princess? I've never seen her before." Her tone was calm, even carrying a hint of doubt, as if it were none of her business.
Seeing Dai Yao's appearance, the Third Princess of the Demon Clan cried even louder. "Biluo said yesterday that she would bring you some spiritual fruits, and then she never came back! She was carrying the Demon Palace's treasure, the 'Netherworld Pearl,' which my mother left me. If we can't find it..." She covered her face and wept, looking heartbroken.
"The Netherworld Pearl?!" A commotion erupted in the hall.
This Netherworld Pearl is a secret treasure of the Demon Palace, said to possess the power to control people's minds. If it falls into the hands of someone with ill intentions, the consequences would be unimaginable.
The Demon Prince's expression hardened, and he immediately ordered a search of Dai Yao's residence.
In an instant, Dai Yao became the target of public criticism, and the pointing fingers and whispers around her stung her heart like needles.
She felt as if the whole world had abandoned her, leaving her completely isolated and helpless.
However, Dai Yao is not someone to be trifled with.
She feigned panic on the surface, but was unusually calm inside.
Back at her residence, she quickly activated the small restrictions she had previously set up throughout the Demon Palace. These restrictions were set up just in case, and she hadn't expected them to come in handy so soon.
Before long, a blurry image appeared before her eyes: one of the Demon Prince's trusted confidants sneaked into the Demon Princess's palace, stole the Netherworld Pearl, and then deliberately led Biluo to a secluded place...
Dai Yao's lips curled into a cold smile.
That's it!
This is a scheme to kill two birds with one stone by using someone else to do the dirty work!
She immediately recorded the scene and took it back to the council chamber.
“Your Highness, I have found Biluo, and… the Netherworld Pearl.” Dai Yao’s voice was not loud, but it was firm and resolute.
She displayed the scene to everyone, revealing the Second Prince's conspiracy. His face turned ashen, yet he was powerless to refute it.
"Second Brother, what else do you have to say?" The Demon Prince's tone was icy, his eyes filled with disappointment and anger.
The Second Prince of Demons opened his mouth, but ultimately said nothing.
His power was severely damaged, and his original plan to seize the throne was completely disrupted.
Dai Yao watched all this with a secret sense of satisfaction.
That was absolutely brilliant!
She was preparing to make her graceful exit when she suddenly felt a chill down her spine, and a murderous aura was closing in.
“Dai Yao, you…” The Third Demon Princess’s voice was terrifyingly cold, and her eyes flashed with a dangerous light.
Dai Yao chuckled lightly, a slight, disdainful curve appearing on her eyebrows.
"What? Is the Third Demon Princess enraged and trying to kill me to silence me?" Her tone was relaxed, as if she didn't take the Third Demon Princess's murderous intent seriously at all.
This counterattack is brilliant, isn't it?
The Third Demon Princess trembled with rage, but she knew it was not the right time to act. She could only suppress her anger and grit her teeth as she said, "Dai Yao, don't be so smug! The selection of the crown prince is imminent, we'll see!"
The selection of the crown prince is a grand event in the Demon Palace.
What used to be an undercurrent has now finally come to the forefront.
On the selection field, all sides were at loggerheads, and the atmosphere was so tense that it seemed like a string could snap at any moment.
The Third Princess of Demons, dressed in red, resembled a phoenix rising from the ashes, exuding an imposing aura.
She looked coldly at Dai Yao, her eyes burning with fierce determination.
"Dai Yao, today I will show you who the true powerhouse of the Demon Palace is!"
Dai Yao shrugged, looking completely indifferent.
"Bring it on! Who's afraid of who! Bring it on!" Yao Nu exuded domineering confidence, ready to crush the scum!
The Third Demon Princess sneered, made a hand seal, and a sharp attack shot straight towards Dai Yao.
"Crimson Flames Burn the Sky!" The raging fire seemed poised to devour everything.
Dai Yao dodged the attack with a swift movement.
"That's it? I thought you had some amazing tricks up your sleeve! You're not even going to tickle me!" Yao Nu's verbal skills were off the charts, her online taunts were in full swing!
Next, the Third Demon Princess unleashed a series of ruthless spells, but Dai Yao neutralized them all.
Dai Yao's special ability is no joke; she can clearly sense the direction of the flow of Qi, thereby predicting the opponent's attack and finding their weakness.
It's like they've got X-ray vision!
"I'm tired of seeing your moves." Dai Yao's voice carried a hint of mockery.
Just as the Third Demon Princess launched another attack, Dai Yao suddenly intervened.
She moved with lightning speed, arriving in front of the Third Demon Princess in the blink of an eye.
"Break!" With a soft shout, a powerful force erupted instantly, directly shattering the Demon Princess's defenses.
Caught off guard, the Third Princess of Demons fell to the ground in a disheveled state, her gorgeous red dress covered in dust.
Just moments ago she was so aggressive, but now she looks like a defeated rooster, utterly humiliated.
The onlookers were in an uproar. No one expected that Dai Yao, who had always been considered an easy target, would be so powerful!
Dai Yao looked down at the Third Princess of Demonic Arts, a playful smile curving her lips.
"This is just the beginning..." she said softly, a hint of chill in her voice.
“You…” The Third Demon Princess pointed at Dai Yao, but couldn’t utter a single word.
Just then, a deep voice sounded in Dai Yao's ear: "Yao'er, have you had enough fun?"
Dai Yao smiled, her eyes gleaming with mischief.
"This is nothing! The real show is just beginning!" She lightly brushed the dust off her clothes, her posture nonchalant, as if what she had just experienced was just a trivial little game.
The Demon Princess's face turned ashen, filled with shame and indignation.
She never imagined that she would be so humiliated by Dai Yao in front of so many people!
She struggled to stand up, but found herself powerless and could only glare hatefully at Dai Yao.
At this moment, the Demon Prince and the Second Demon Prince also arrived at the scene.
Seeing this scene, both of their expressions were somewhat subtle.
A hint of appreciation flashed in the Demon Prince's eyes, while the Second Demon Prince's face was gloomy.
"Dai Yao, you did very well." The Demon Prince walked up to Dai Yao, his tone carrying a hint of praise.
"Thank you for your praise, Your Highness." Dai Yao bowed slightly, neither humble nor arrogant.
The Second Prince of Demons snorted coldly and said sarcastically, "Dai Yao, don't be too smug. You were just lucky this time."
Dai Yao raised an eyebrow, looking at the Second Prince of Demons with a half-smile.
"Luck is also a part of strength. Doesn't Your Highness understand this principle?"
The Second Prince of Demons was rendered speechless by Dai Yao's retort and could only angrily turn and leave.
After this series of events, Dai Yao's status in the Demon Palace rose rather than fell.
She took advantage of the conflicts among various factions in the struggle for the throne and reached a series of agreements that were beneficial to herself.
She not only gained abundant cultivation resources and the appreciation of the Demon Palace's higher-ups, but also successfully consolidated her important position within the Demon Palace.
Seeing Dai Yao's success, the mysterious figure admired and loved her even more.
He prepared a small celebration banquet for Dai Yao in a quiet courtyard.
The moonlight, like water, spilled into the courtyard, reflecting the happy smiles on the two people's faces.
He gazed at Dai Yao with deep affection, his eyes filled with pride and tenderness.
"Yao'er, you're amazing." He gently embraced Dai Yao, feeling each other's warmth.
Dai Yao nestled in his arms, her face beaming with happiness.
At that moment, she felt like she owned the whole world.
"Yao'er," he cupped Dai Yao's face in his hands, his gaze intense, "you're willing..."
Before he could finish speaking, a sudden gust of cold wind blew by, extinguishing the candlelight in the courtyard and plunging the surroundings into darkness.
A cold wind swirled up fallen leaves, making a rustling sound like the whispers of ghosts.
Dai Yao felt a chill run down her spine, keenly sensing something amiss.
She calmly pushed the person in her arms away. "What was that sound?"
He seemed to sense something was wrong as well, and his deep voice carried a hint of wariness, "Be careful!"
Almost simultaneously, a dark shadow flashed past like lightning, heading straight for Dai Yao.
Dai Yao reacted quickly, lightly touching the ground with her toes and nimbly dodging the attack.
The shadowy figure missed its first attack, but did not give up. Instead, it attacked again, each move deadly and ruthless.
“Interesting.” Dai Yao smiled, a fighting spirit igniting in her eyes.
She stopped dodging and went to meet the shadowy figure head-on, engaging in a fierce battle.
His moves were fluid and clean, showing no signs of being at a disadvantage.
Upon seeing this, the mysterious figure also joined the battle.
The two worked together seamlessly, one attacking and the other defending, forcing the shadowy figure into a retreat.
At this moment, a sudden change occurred!
Suddenly, a dazzling light appeared in the originally dark night sky, and within the light, a huge magic circle slowly emerged.
The magic circle exuded a powerful pressure that was suffocating.
"Oh no! It's a demon-sealing formation!" The mysterious figure's expression changed drastically, and he exclaimed in alarm.
The Demon-Sealing Array, as its name suggests, is a large array specifically designed to seal away demons, and its power is extremely terrifying.
Once trapped inside, even highly skilled demons would find it difficult to escape.
Dai Yao also felt the terrifying pressure of the Demon Sealing Array and secretly thought that something was wrong.
Just as she was about to speak, she saw the dark figure suddenly turn around and fly towards the center of the magic circle.
"Trying to run?" Dai Yao sneered, and in a flash, she chased after him.
Upon seeing this, the mysterious figure quickly shouted, "Yao'er, be careful! That's..."
Before he could finish speaking, the shadowy figure had already merged into the magic array, which shone brightly, instantly enveloping Dai Yao as well.
"Yao'er!" He reached out to grab her, but only grasped at nothingness.
He collapsed to his knees, his eyes filled with pain and despair.
The light from the magic circle gradually faded, and everything returned to calm.
Only the empty courtyard and the scattered petals on the ground remained, silently telling the story of what had just happened.
From the darkness, a deep voice rang out: "Interesting, very interesting..."
