Chapter 77 The Demon Palace Undergoes a Storm, Yao Nu Lays a Plan

"Shh..." A deep voice carried a hint of barely perceptible tenderness as the mysterious figure hugged Dai Yao even tighter, as if trying to meld her into his very bones.

Almost simultaneously, a sharp sword aura ripped through the night sky, heading straight for where the two were hiding.

Dai Yao felt a chill run down her spine; this murderous aura was directed at her!

The mysterious figure flicked his sleeve, easily deflecting the sword energy, but did not reveal himself, remaining hidden in the darkness.

"Tsk, looks like someone's losing their patience." Dai Yao murmured, a cold glint flashing in her eyes.

The rumors spread faster than expected.

As expected, the Demon Palace was in an uproar the next day.

"Have you heard? Saintess Dai Yao has actually colluded with foreign enemies!"

"Really? No way, she doesn't seem like that kind of person!"

"You can know a person's face but not their heart. Now that the Demon Palace is in danger, some people will do anything to protect themselves!"

As Dai Yao listened to these whispers, a playful smile appeared on her lips.

No hurries?

This is just the beginning.

She remained calm and even "accidentally" left behind a jade pendant with special symbols inside the Demon Palace. These symbols were the secret codes for communication within the hidden forces!

This move has completely muddied the waters.

The Demon Prince frowned, the Second Demon Prince remained inactive, while the Third Demon Princess wore an expression of anticipation for the show.

The various forces that were originally sitting comfortably are now beginning to wonder if it is really a case of a hidden force staging a self-inflicted drama, with the thief crying "stop thief!"

The atmosphere in the Demon Palace grew increasingly tense, with undercurrents swirling beneath the surface.

Dai Yao stood in the garden of the Demon Palace, seemingly pruning the flowers casually, but in reality, she was secretly observing the reactions of the people around her.

Just then, a familiar figure appeared behind her.

"Miss Dai Yao," Zi Xing said, cupping her hands in greeting, "it's been a long time."

Dai Yao put down the scissors in her hand, turned to look at him, and said with a half-smile, "Elder Zixing, it has indeed been a long time. May I ask what brings you here?"

Zi Xing stroked his beard, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes: "Miss Dai Yao has recently been embroiled in rumors, which I deeply regret. Knowing you as I do, you are certainly not the kind of person to betray the Demon Palace." He paused, raising his voice to ensure all the hidden "eyes" around could hear, "There must be some misunderstanding here!"

Dai Yao feigned surprise: "Elder Zi Xing trusts me so much, I am deeply grateful. But these rumors are coming on strong, and I'm afraid I won't be able to defend myself." As she spoke, her eyes reddened slightly, making her look pitiful.

Zi Xing chuckled inwardly; this little girl's acting skills were becoming more and more superb.

He cleared his throat and said righteously, "Rumors stop with the wise. Now that the Demon Palace is beset by internal and external troubles, we should unite against external threats instead of throwing ourselves into disarray. In my opinion, we should thoroughly investigate this matter, clear Miss Dai Yao's name, and also expose the traitors hiding in the Demon Palace!"

These words were spoken with great passion and fervor, and those eavesdropping around nodded in agreement.

Dai Yao's reverse move not only cleared her name but also put the hidden forces in the spotlight.

The Demon Prince already harbored suspicions about Dai Yao's "betrayal," and now that Elder Zi Xing had also stood up to speak for her, the scales in his heart began to tip.

On the contrary, the Second Prince of Demons had a terribly gloomy expression.

He originally wanted to take this opportunity to bring down the Demon Prince, but he didn't expect to be outmaneuvered by Dai Yao.

The atmosphere at the Demon Palace, a place where power was traded, was tense and fraught with danger.

"Brother, what do you mean by this? Are you doubting me?" The Second Prince of Demons asked coldly, his eyes flashing with a dangerous light.

The Demon Prince sneered, "Second Brother, your recent actions have been far too extravagant. While Father is in seclusion, you're busy winning people over. What are you trying to achieve?"

“Brother, you are mistaken,” the Second Prince of the Demon Realm said with a forced smile. “I am only thinking about the future of the Demon Palace. Unlike some people, who are so infatuated with a woman that they can’t even distinguish right from wrong!”

"You!" The Demon Prince was furious, his spiritual power surging in his hands, and he was about to make a move.

Just at this critical moment, a dark figure flashed by... "Stop!" The deep voice carried an undeniable authority, and the air seemed to freeze.

The mysterious figure slowly appeared, his gaze sweeping over everyone present before finally settling on Dai Yao. With tender affection, he said, "Yao'er, don't be afraid, I'm here."

The atmosphere in the Demon Palace was so heavy it seemed as if water could drip from it.

The Demon Prince and the Second Demon Prince were on the verge of a full-blown brawl.

The appearance of the mysterious figure undoubtedly put a pause on this impending conflict.

He exuded a powerful aura, and although he didn't say much, he intimidated the entire audience.

Goodness, this is definitely a case of "coming with its own background music"!

Both the Demon Prince and the Second Demon Prince were stunned, clearly not expecting this powerful figure to suddenly appear.

The Second Prince, in particular, had a truly fascinating face, as if he had opened a dye shop, displaying all sorts of colors: red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple.

The mysterious figure ignored their ulterior motives and walked straight to Dai Yao's side, gently shielding her behind him with eyes full of doting affection, as if to say, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

This is so sweet, I'm totally shipping them!

Over the next few days, the mysterious figure tirelessly worked throughout the Demon Palace, gathering evidence to clear Dai Yao's name.

As Dai Yao watched his figure, she felt both moved and heartbroken.

Ah, having such a powerful backer is such a blessing!

Dai Yao wasn't idle either; she wasn't the kind of parasitic vine that would just hide behind a man.

Based on the information provided by Lingxi, she has basically figured out the details of the hidden forces.

Good heavens, it turns out to be a group of immortal elders from the Demon Palace, secretly colluding with external forces to cause trouble!

Dai Yao was no pushover; she immediately began to plan, uniting with Zi Xing and other small and medium-sized forces to trap them like turtles in a jar.

She played the "pretending to be weak to catch a tiger" trick so well!

Seeing that the time was ripe, Dai Yao deliberately released some false information to lure the hidden forces into a trap.

Those old guys couldn't hold back any longer and started to get restless.

"Everything is ready, we're just waiting for them to walk right into our trap." Dai Yao's lips curled into a sly smile, a glint of light flashing in her eyes.

The mysterious figure looked at her confident demeanor with admiration in his eyes.

He gently took Dai Yao's hand and said softly, "Be careful."

Dai Yao held his hand back and gave him a reassuring look.

"Don't worry, I know what's going on."

Just then, Lingxi suddenly sent a message: "Sister Yao, something bad has happened! They...they seem to be..." Lingxi's voice trembled, with a hint of fear.

Lingxi's voice was broken and intermittent, as if she had been greatly frightened, "Sister Yao, something bad has happened! They...they seem to have...discovered our plan! And...and..."

Dai Yao's heart tightened, and an ominous premonition surged into her mind.

"And what? Lingxi, calm down and tell me slowly!"

"And...it seems...they've brought in a very powerful helper! It's said...it's said to be a...a wandering immortal!" Lingxi's voice was almost choked with sobs.

A wandering immortal?

!

Dai Yao gasped.

Loose Immortals are beings who surpass the Nascent Soul stage, and their strength is unfathomable!

If the hidden forces really do manage to bring in a wandering immortal, then things will get really complicated!

The mysterious figure's expression also turned serious.

He gripped Dai Yao's hand tightly and said in a deep voice, "It seems we underestimated their strength."

Dai Yao took a deep breath, trying to stay calm.

"Don't panic, things haven't gotten to the worst yet. Lingxi, keep an eye on things, and report any movement immediately!"

“Okay… okay, Sister Yao.” Lingxi’s voice was still trembling.

After hanging up the call, Dai Yao frowned and fell into deep thought.

They thought victory was assured, but unexpectedly, a surprise attack came out of nowhere!

It seems she needs to readjust her plans.

Seeing Dai Yao's furrowed brows, the mysterious figure tenderly embraced her.

"Don't worry, I'll always be by your side."

Dai Yao leaned against his chest, feeling his warm embrace, and her heart calmed down a little.

She looked up at the mysterious figure, a resolute glint in her eyes.

"We cannot sit idly by and wait for our doom; we must take the initiative!"

"What do you want to do?" The mysterious figure looked at her, his eyes full of trust.

Dai Yao's lips curled into a sly smile.

"Since they've invited a wandering immortal, let's invite one too!"

The mysterious figure paused for a moment, then smiled. "It seems you already have a plan."

Dai Yao smiled mysteriously, without saying much, but took out a jade slip from her storage ring and handed it to the mysterious figure.

"Please give this to Miao Wan."

The mysterious figure took the jade slip, glanced at it, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"Are you sure you want to do this?"

Dai Yao nodded, her eyes resolute. "This is the best solution at the moment."

The mysterious figure said nothing more, put away the jade slip, and then turned and left.

Watching the mysterious figure's departing figure, a complex light flashed in Dai Yao's eyes.

"I hope everything goes well..." she murmured to herself, then turned and walked deeper into the Demon Palace.

Suddenly, she stopped and turned around, a sharp glint in her eyes.

"Who is there?!"
