Chapter 27 Unraveling the Conspiracy and Tricks, the Spiritual Source Returns to Peace
"Gentlemen, do you really believe her? She's from the Demon Palace, who knows what she's up to..." Youyingfeng's sinister voice, like a venomous snake's hiss, coiled around everyone's hearts.
Chi Yan and Shui Ling Ji exchanged a glance, a hint of apprehension flashing in their eyes.
They were already wary of Dai Yao, and now, provoked by You Yingfeng, their desire to seize the Heart of Spiritual Origin was reignited.
The atmosphere was tense, as if a chaotic battle could break out at any moment.
Dai Yao felt the pressure around her growing stronger, like a mountain pressing down on her, making it hard for her to breathe.
She knew that if she couldn't resolve this issue quickly, the spiritual power she had worked so hard to obtain might be handed over to someone else.
Youyingfeng stood to the side, smiling smugly, as if victory was assured.
Just then, Dai Yao suddenly had a flash of inspiration and remembered some special markings she had found near the Spirit Source.
The markings looked like some kind of ancient script, which she didn't pay much attention to at the time. Now, looking back, these markings were likely hints left by the Spirit Source Guardian about the ownership of the Spirit Source!
In the blink of an eye, Dai Yao had already come up with a bold plan.
She took a deep breath and said loudly, "You have all been deceived by the Shadow Wind! These marks show that the Spirit Source has recognized me as its master. Anyone who tries to steal them will be going against the Spirit Source's will!" She pointed to the marks near the Spirit Source, her tone firm and resounding.
These words made Chi Yan and Shui Ling Ji, who were originally eager to act, hesitate. They exchanged glances, seemingly weighing the pros and cons.
You Yingfeng's face instantly turned ashen; he hadn't expected Dai Yao to have this trick up her sleeve.
Seeing that her words had worked, Dai Yao was secretly pleased and pressed her advantage, saying, "The Spirit Source chooses its master; it is the will of Heaven. Going against Heaven will surely bring divine punishment!" As she spoke, she secretly observed the reactions of the crowd and found that many people had begun to waver.
You Yingfeng was furious and wanted to retort, but Dai Yao interrupted him: "What, Senior You Yingfeng, do you want to defy the will of heaven?" She deliberately emphasized the word "senior" to subtly mock You Yingfeng for relying on his seniority and overestimating his abilities.
Youyingfeng was rendered speechless by her retort, his face turning pale and then red.
Just then, a voice rang out...
“Brother Dai Yao is right. We were all misled by You Yingfeng’s words before.” Xing Mang’s words were like adding a heavy weight to a swaying scale, tilting it completely in Dai Yao’s favor.
Although Chi Yan and Shui Ling Ji still had doubts, they dared not act rashly due to the power of the Starry Sky Loose Cultivator Alliance.
Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Youying Feng's face was so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip from it.
He glared fiercely at Dai Yao, plotting how to escape, when Ling Yun gracefully appeared and blocked his way.
"You insidious person, you have been breaking the rules of Lingyuan all along!" Lingyun's voice was clear as a bell, yet it carried an undeniable authority.
Her slender finger pointed at Youyingfeng, her eyes flashing with anger.
"The Spirit Source chooses its master according to its own principles; how dare you manipulate it at will!"
Dai Yao thought to herself, "Brilliant!" This was a divine assist!
She walked slowly toward Youyingfeng, a playful smile playing on her lips.
With each step Dai Yao took, a ring of black demonic runes appeared beneath her feet. These runes seemed to spread out as if they were alive, freezing the surrounding air and sending a chill straight up to everyone's hearts. You Yingfeng watched Dai Yao approach like the Grim Reaper, his legs trembling slightly. He had never seen such a powerful pressure before.
"Did you think your conspiracy would succeed? Today is your retribution!" Dai Yao's voice was as cold as frost, and every word struck You Yingfeng's heart like a heavy hammer.
Having said that, she no longer concealed her strength. Her demonic energy surged, and she attacked Youyingfeng like a demon king from hell.
You Yingfeng's expression changed drastically. He hastily set up a defense, but it was as fragile as paper and was easily torn apart by Dai Yao's demonic power.
He suffered repeated defeats, spitting out a mouthful of blood, his eyes filled with terror and resentment.
Those around felt a surge of satisfaction upon witnessing Youyingfeng's fate and cheered.
"You overconfident old fool, how dare you scheme against me? Don't you know who I am?" Dai Yao sneered, her attacks becoming even more ruthless.
Youyingfeng was beaten so badly that he could only dodge helplessly, his heart filled with regret.
He never imagined that his meticulously planned conspiracy would end in this way.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Dai Yao began absorbing spiritual energy once again.
The spiritual energy slowly flowed into her body. She could clearly feel the power coursing through her meridians, and every part of her body nourished by the spiritual energy seemed to be reshaped. Her cultivation level steadily improved, and her strength continued to increase, filling her mind and body with an unprecedented sense of power.
Her body radiated a soft and mysterious light.
Xingmang watched Dai Yao from the side, his eyes filled with admiration and a hint of barely perceptible affection—a true fanboy!
After absorbing the spiritual energy, Dai Yao did not become arrogant or conceited. After all, she was a woman who was going to take the "pretend to be weak to eat the tiger" route!
Instead, she approached the various factions and said in a tone that said, "I'm very magnanimous, you can do as you please," "Although the spiritual source belongs to me, I hope we can still coexist peacefully in the future and explore the path of cultivation together. After all, we are all candidates to ascend to immortality!" Her words surprised the various factions. They originally thought Dai Yao would be arrogant and domineering, but they didn't expect her to be so humble and low-key. She was simply a breath of fresh air among the villains!
Their impression of Dai Yao has changed significantly, with many exclaiming: "This villain is something else!"
Just when everyone thought the matter was settled and they could go home and sleep, something unexpected happened!
The spiritual source suddenly flashed with a strange light...
