Chapter 126 The Truth Revealed, the Magic Crystal Finally Obtained
The sect elders made their move, their oppressive aura collapsing like a mountain. The powerful pressure seemed almost tangible as it pressed down on Dai Yao and the others, the attack even more ferocious than before.
"Stop! I said stop!" he roared, his voice echoing like thunder in the cave. His hands flashed with magic, and golden light attacked Dai Yao like a storm. The golden light stung Dai Yao's eyes, and she could only squint and dodge with difficulty.
Dai Yao and the others suddenly felt immense pressure and faced numerous dangers.
"Damn, this old man is serious!" Dai Yao exclaimed as she quickly dodged left and right, her ears ringing with the sound of the wind as the attacks brushed past her. She could feel her heart pounding faster than ever.
She could feel the fluctuations of the magic crystal seal becoming increasingly unstable, as if it were about to collapse at any moment. The fluctuations were like a turbulent current crashing through her senses. At the same time, the core of the seal became even more elusive, like a slippery eel that she could not catch no matter what she did.
"If this continues, I'm afraid I'll mess things up..." She gritted her teeth, her upper and lower jaws clashing together with a slight "clucking" sound. Her spiritual energy was circulating wildly within her body. She could feel a slight stinging sensation from the rapid flow of spiritual energy in her meridians. Fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead and slid down her cheeks, making her feel itchy.
Just then, the guardian of the magic crystal saw that Dai Yao and the others were entangled by the immortal sect's stewards, and it grinned maliciously. The laughter was as piercing as the hooting of a night owl, and it launched another attack.
"The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind; you brought this upon yourselves!" A dark shadow flashed, and Mo Yao only saw a shadowy figure moving before her eyes. The Magic Crystal Guardian appeared behind her like a ghost, carrying a sinister chill, and struck her in the back with a palm.
"Yao Yao, be careful!" Shadow Wolf roared, his voice booming like a great bell, causing the cave to tremble slightly. His figure stood like the strongest shield, blocking Dai Yao's path without hesitation.
The guardian of the magic crystal's palm strike carried earth-shattering power. Shadow Wolf's body was like a fragile leaf, swept away by the gale. But his eyes remained unwavering, fixed on his enemy, until the powerful force sent him flying. A mouthful of blood bloomed in the air like a delicate flower. With a "plop," he crashed heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of dust. His fate was unknown.
"Shadow Wolf!" Dai Yao's eyes widened in fury, a surge of anger rising from the bottom of her heart. She felt as if her heart was being gripped tightly by a giant hand.
"I'll fight you to the death!" She recklessly activated all the spiritual power in her body, and could feel the spiritual power surging out from all parts of her body. The power of her cheat system was also brought to its extreme at this critical moment.
The surrounding energy flow became crystal clear in her eyes, like shimmering threads that intertwined and converged at the core of the magic crystal seal.
"Found it!" Dai Yao was overjoyed. She exerted all her strength, concentrating all her spiritual power at her fingertips, aiming at the core...
"Die!" A mysterious figure suddenly blocked Dai Yao's path. Dai Yao only saw a blur before her eyes, and a dagger appeared in his hand, stabbing straight at the magic crystal guardian.
The mysterious figure's dagger moved with lightning speed, aiming straight for the guardian of the magic crystal's throat. Dai Yao only saw a flash of cold light.
The guardian of the magic crystal was clearly caught off guard by this sudden attack. In his haste, he could only dodge to the side. The dagger grazed his neck, leaving a trail of blood beads. Dai Yao could almost smell the faint scent of blood.
"Holy crap, where did this ruthless person come from?" Dai Yao was stunned. This mysterious figure was fast and ruthless. He didn't seem to be here to help at all. He seemed to be here to steal lives!
Taking advantage of the moment when the magic crystal guardian was stunned, Dai Yao seized the opportunity, her fingertips bursting with spiritual power. She could feel the heat surging from her fingertips as she struck the core of the magic crystal seal hard.
With a crisp "crack," the seal shattered, and a powerful energy wave instantly swept across the entire space. The energy wave was like a surging sea wave, and Dai Yao could feel a powerful impact surging towards her.
The magic crystal guardian was blasted away by this energy, crashing heavily to the ground and spitting out blood.
The sect's deacons and other disciples were stunned by this sudden turn of events. They stared dumbfounded at everything that was happening before their eyes, and the only sound around them was their breathing.
Dai Yao grabbed the magic crystal floating in the air. It felt warm and smooth to the touch, like holding a piece of jade. A pure, almost tangible energy surged into every meridian like a raging tide. Her dantian felt like a furnace being ignited, her spiritual power spinning and condensing wildly. Her previously stagnant cultivation surged forward like a wild horse unleashed. This exhilarating feeling was like rain falling on a parched desert; every cell in her body rejoiced. She felt as if she could shatter the heavens and earth with a single punch.
"Whoosh! Take off!" Dai Yao was secretly delighted; this was a huge win!
"Wait! This magic crystal..." The immortal sect steward finally came to his senses, pointing at the magic crystal in Dai Yao's hand with an incredulous expression.
"What, you still want to steal it?" Dai Yao raised an eyebrow, looking at him with a half-smile.
The sect leader blushed and quickly waved his hands, saying, "No, no, it's just..."
"Just what?" Dai Yao pressed closer, her aura imposing.
"But... this magic crystal is a priceless treasure, you..."
Before he could finish speaking, Dai Yao interrupted him, saying, "I risked my life to get this magic crystal, why can't it be mine?"
"But……"
Dai Yao sneered, took out a jade slip from her storage bag, and threw it in front of the immortal sect's steward.
"See for yourself!"
The sect leader took the jade slip with a puzzled look, probed it with his divine sense, and his expression changed drastically.
The jade slip contains evidence of Ziyue's collusion with the guardians of the magic crystal, as well as the entire process of how Ziyue framed Dai Yao.
"This...this is impossible!" The immortal sect deacon stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
"Impossible? Facts speak louder than words!" Dai Yao scoffed. "Now, what else do you have to say?"
The sect leader slumped to the ground, muttering to himself, "How could this be... I was actually deceived..." He raised his head, looking at Dai Yao with remorse, "Dai Yao, I wronged you, please forgive me!"
Dai Yao glanced at him indifferently, said nothing, and simply put the magic crystal away.
The mysterious figure walked up to Dai Yao and whispered, "Let's go."
Dai Yao nodded and was about to leave when suddenly she felt a strange aura, a cool aura, like a cold little snake crawling on her body.
"Wait," Dai Yao turned around abruptly, her gaze fixed on the shadows in the distance, "Who's there?"
The mysterious figure pulled Dai Yao into his arms and whispered in her ear, "Yao Yao, you're amazing!" His tone was full of doting and pride, and Dai Yao could feel his breath gently brushing against her ear, warm and comforting.
Dai Yao snuggled against him, her eyes crinkling with laughter: "Hehe, it's just basic stuff, don't make a fuss, it's all standard procedure!"
Seeing this, the surrounding disciples of the immortal sects all cheered, "Get together! Get together!" The crowd that had previously been shouting for Dai Yao to kill her had now become the leading fans supporting the two of them being together. This change in attitude was too fast and caught everyone off guard.
The old sect elder's face flushed red, and he coughed lightly, saying, "Ahem, Dai Yao, I was blind before and misunderstood you. To make up for my mistake, I've decided..." He paused, seemingly finding it difficult to say, "...to promote you to the rank of sect elder!"
Dai Yao almost spat out a mouthful of blood. "Elder? Is it that exciting?" She thought it would be good enough if she could clear her name, but she never expected to get a promotion and a raise, reaching the pinnacle of her life!
This is an absolute steal!
“That’s right!” The sect elder nodded solemnly. “You are so young, yet you possess such strength and wisdom. You are destined for greatness! Becoming an elder is what you deserve!”
"Well... okay." Dai Yao nodded with feigned modesty, but inside she was overjoyed.
Elder, that sounds impressive!
From now on, I can walk sideways in the immortal sects, and who dares to disobey me?
Just as Dai Yao was immersed in joy, she suddenly felt a strong killing intent locked onto her. The killing intent was like a cold needle, piercing her skin painfully.
She suddenly looked up, her eyes blazing, scanning her surroundings.
"Yaoyao, what's wrong?" The mysterious figure noticed Dai Yao's unusual behavior and asked with concern.
Dai Yao didn't answer, but instead gripped the magic crystal tightly in her hand, feeling its warm touch. Her eyes were cold as she stared at the shadow in the distance, and she said, word by word, "Come out, I know you're here..." From the shadow, a man dressed in black with a sinister face slowly emerged.
He was surrounded by demonic energy, holding a jet-black longsword in his hand, the tip of which was pointed directly at Dai Yao, exuding murderous intent.
"The magic crystal is mine!"
Dai Yao raised an eyebrow, her face full of disdain: "You? A defeated opponent like you dares to come out and embarrass yourself?"
The man in black was the same magic crystal guardian that Dai Yao had previously defeated.
He gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with venom: "Little girl, don't be so smug! Today I will take your life and reclaim the magic crystal!"
"Oh dear, I'm so scared!" Dai Yao patted her chest, feigning fear, then changed her tone, her eyes sharp, "But you're not qualified!"
After saying that, the magic crystal in Dai Yao's hand shone brightly, and a powerful force erupted instantly, knocking the magic crystal guardian back several steps. The magic crystal guardian could feel a powerful impact hitting him, as if he had been hit by a heavy hammer.
"How is this possible?!" The Magic Crystal Guardian stared incredulously at the magic crystal in Dai Yao's hand. "You...you can actually completely control the power of the magic crystal?!"
Dai Yao sneered, "You don't need to worry about that, just obediently accept your death!" In a flash, she appeared in front of the Magic Crystal Guardian, the Magic Crystal in her hand transforming into a sharp sword, piercing straight into his heart.
The guardian of the magic crystal tried to defend himself, but he was no match for the magic crystal's sharpness.
With a muffled thud, the magic crystal sword pierced his heart.
The magic crystal guardian stared wide-eyed, then collapsed to the ground with a look of resentment, turning into a wisp of black smoke and dissipating.
"Done!" Dai Yao clapped her hands and said with a relaxed expression.
"Yaoyao, are you alright?" The mysterious figure rushed forward and asked with concern.
Dai Yao shook her head and laughed, "It's nothing, it's no big deal!"
Just then, Dai Yao suddenly sensed something was wrong.
She looked down and saw that the spirit on her wrist was emitting a strange red light. The red light stung her eyes, and her body began to swell, emitting a painful growl. The sound was particularly miserable in the silence.
Dai Yao was startled: "Xiao Ling, what's wrong?"
Xiao Ling struggled in agony, her eyes gradually turning bloodshot, and she let out a sharp scream: "Ah—" The sound echoed in the cave, sending chills down everyone's spine.
Dai Yao's expression changed drastically: "Oh no!" She grabbed Xiao Ling, feeling Xiao Ling's body trembling in her hands, and cried out anxiously, "Xiao Ling, hold on! I will definitely save you!"
However, Xiao Ling's mutation became increasingly violent, and a surge of rage swept through the cave. The force roared past, creating a gust of wind that whipped Dai Yao's hair and clothes wildly.
Dai Yao held Xiao Ling tightly, feeling the increasingly powerful force within it, a force like a wild beast about to go out of control, filling her heart with unease.
"What... what's going on?" The mysterious figure was also shocked as he looked at the scene before him.
Dai Yao bit her lip, her eyes resolute, and said, "No matter what happens, I will protect Xiao Ling!" However, as soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Ling suddenly broke free from her embrace. She could feel the great force with which Xiao Ling broke free, its scarlet eyes fixed on her, and it let out a low roar...
"Roar--"
