Chapter 66 The Treasure is Finally Confirmed, the Mystery Ends

A white light pierced the night like a sharp sword, and a dense fluctuation of spiritual energy spread out like ripples, causing everyone to gasp for breath.

A treasure has appeared!

Dai Yao's eyes lit up; she had to take this one! She lightly touched the ground with her toes, her figure moving like lightning, heading straight for the white light.

"Trying to steal it? Dream on!" Xuan Yuanpo sneered, his domineering late-stage Nascent Soul aura sweeping down on Dai Yao.

The others were no pushovers either. Bai Shuang gave a seductive wink, flicking out several wisps of pink mist with her slender fingers, bewitching the mind; Ling Feng's figure flickered, appearing behind Dai Yao like a ghost, his sharp blade aimed straight for her heart; Zi Yun, though physically weak, summoned an ancient bronze mirror, its surface radiating dazzling golden light, attempting to trap Dai Yao; even the usually cold-blooded Ying Yue drew her longsword, its chilling aura sealing off Dai Yao's escape route.

Good grief, this is a group of people coming to mess with her!

Dai Yao cursed inwardly, this was even more exciting than the Double Eleven flash sales!

Facing the attack of the five explorers, Dai Yao remained calm and instead curled her lips into a wicked smile.

"Come on, let the storm come even harder!"

She let out a delicate shout and spun like a top, dodging Ling Feng's deadly attack.

At the same time, she unleashed her signature weapon—a uniquely shaped fan.

This is no ordinary fan; it's a magical artifact she redeemed from the system shop, complete with "reflection" and "taunt" skills!

"Whoosh—" With a wave of the fan, the pink mist was instantly bounced back. Caught off guard, Bai Shuang inhaled her own charm, her eyes immediately glazed over, and she swayed and fell down.

"Oops, sorry, my hand slipped~" Dai Yao spread her hands innocently.

Xuan Yuanpo's pressure was like a tickle to her. She was a woman with the halo of "the chosen one of destiny," and this little situation was no match for her at all!

While skillfully dodging the attacks of others, she activated her cheat ability—Qi perception.

Golden threads of fortune intertwined in the air, and Dai Yao immediately saw through their weakness.

"So that's how it is. Your cooperation is nothing but a fake sisterhood!" She sneered inwardly. Taking advantage of the moment when the group was not working together well, she flashed past them and broke through their defenses, taking another step closer to the white light.

At this moment, Xuan Yuanpo, enraged, joined forces with the others to cast a powerful sealing formation, trapping Dai Yao. Everyone thought victory was assured and even began to mock Dai Yao. However, Dai Yao calmly exchanged a magical artifact from the system shop specifically designed to break this seal. This artifact, named the "Breaking-Restriction Spirit Pearl," was crafted from ancient spiritual materials and could break all sealing formations in the world. She instantly broke free, and the power released by the artifact temporarily immobilized everyone except Ying Yue. Dai Yao made a face at the immobilized group and then ran towards the treasure.

"Damn it! This woman actually..." Xuan Yuanpo's face turned ashen. He never expected that a lowly henchman from the Demon Palace would be so troublesome.

He roared, his eyes bloodshot, "Get out of my way!" Xuan Yuanpo was furious, and his late-stage Nascent Soul strength erupted in full force. Like a raging war god, he charged towards Dai Yao again with a world-destroying momentum.

"Little girl, prepare to die!" he roared, his hands quickly forming hand seals, and a dazzling golden beam of light shot out from his palms, heading straight for Dai Yao.

This is his signature move – “Sky-Shattering Strike”, powerful enough to split mountains and shatter rocks!

Dai Yao's eyelids twitched, and she thought to herself, "This Xuan Yuanpo is indeed a late-stage Nascent Soul expert. If this attack had been delivered by an ordinary explorer, they would probably have been reduced to ashes long ago. But I have a system with me, how could I be intimidated by your move? Today I'll show you what it means to be outmatched." Of the thirty-six stratagems, running away is the best!

She moved with lightning speed, her figure darting about like a ghost, using the intricate network of stone pillars and vines around her as cover, as slippery as an eel.

"Boom—" The golden beam of light whistled past Dai Yao's clothes and slammed into Ling Feng, who was unable to dodge in time.

"Ah—" A scream pierced the night sky as Lingfeng was blasted away, his fate unknown.

Dai Yao couldn't help but gasp in astonishment. Good heavens, the accidental injuries were too severe!

While dodging Xuan Yuanpo's relentless attacks, she didn't forget to add fuel to the fire: "Oh dear, Fellow Daoist Xuan Yuan, are you trying to sacrifice your teammates? Aren't you afraid that no one will want to team up with you in the future if you're so ruthless?"

Xuanyuan Po was so angry he was practically fuming. This damned woman was not only as slippery as an eel, but also had such a venomous tongue!

Just as he was about to lose his mind, a sneaky figure quietly approached the place emitting a dazzling white light—it was Bai Shuang!

She thought that she could sneak away and take the treasure while everyone was fighting.

However, as soon as she stepped into the area shrouded in white light, a strange array lit up beneath her feet.

"What's going on?" Bai Shuang's expression changed drastically. She found herself trapped in a transparent circle of light, unable to break free no matter how hard she struggled.

"Ahhh! Let me out!" She frantically patted the light circle, but it was like patting an invisible wall; it had no effect whatsoever.

At this moment, Bai Shuang thought jealously, "Why is this little minion of the Demon Palace so lucky, managing to avert crises time and time again? If I had her luck, I would have gotten this treasure long ago. When I get out, I'll definitely teach her a lesson."

Dai Yao looked at Bai Shuang, who was trapped in the light circle and kept jumping around, and couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Oh my, Fairy Bai Shuang, what new dance are you dancing? It's quite... lively."

Seeing this, Xuan Yuanpo was even more furious. He felt like a clown, being completely fooled by Dai Yao.

“Dai Yao! You…” He gritted his teeth, wishing he could tear her to pieces.

Dai Yao, however, seemed not to hear his roar. Her gaze turned to the treasure that was radiating a dazzling light, her eyes gleaming with a determined light.

A slight smile played on her lips as she said softly, "The real show is just beginning..."

Just then, Yingyue, who had been silent all along, moved...

Shadowmoon moved, like a black lightning bolt, heading straight for the treasure.

She was faster than anyone else before her!

Xuan Yuanpo and Bai Shuang, who was trapped, were both stunned. What kind of operation was this?

Dai Yao raised an eyebrow. "Little brat, trying to be the mantis stalking the cicada?"

She had anticipated that someone would reap the benefits, so she had prepared a contingency plan.

With a flick of her fingertip, a thin, silvery light shot towards the treasure, silently merging into it.

Just as Yingyue was about to touch the treasure, a dazzling white light suddenly surged, forming a powerful shockwave that sent everyone, including Dai Yao, flying away.

"Holy crap, that recoil was way too strong!" Dai Yao did a somersault in the air before landing steadily, inwardly complaining.

As the white light faded, the group scrambled to their feet. They saw a transparent barrier surrounding the treasure, emanating an ancient and mysterious aura.

"This is... a protective formation?" Zi Yun coughed weakly twice, recognizing the formation at a glance. "It seems that this treasure is not something that just anyone can get their hands on."

Xuanyuan Po refused to believe it and tried to attack the barrier again, but the force of the rebound caused his internal organs to shift.

"Pfft—" He spat out a mouthful of blood, and his face turned deathly pale instantly.

Now everyone quieted down, even the usually cold Yingyue frowned.

Dai Yao slowly walked to the barrier, reached out her hand, and gently touched it.

At this moment, a mysterious breeze suddenly swept around, seemingly carrying ancient whispers. Dai Yao's hair and the hem of her clothes fluttered in the wind, and she was enveloped in the soft light emanating from the treasure, as if a divine child had descended.

Then she slowly picked up the treasure. The moment she picked it up, the treasure released a beam of light that shot straight into the sky. The beam of light shot straight into the sky, and a magnificent scene appeared in the sky, such as the phantom of divine beasts flying. This scene lasted for a moment and then disappeared. Amid the astonished, jealous and admiring gazes of the crowd, Dai Yao put the treasure into her pocket.

This treasure was the one she had "unlocked" in advance using that silver thread.

The other explorers watched helplessly as Dai Yao claimed the treasure, their regret, jealousy, and resentment swirling within them, almost consuming them.

Dai Yao looked around, her gaze landing on a secluded corner not far away, where a pair of deep eyes were silently watching her.

She smiled slightly, her red lips parting slightly: "It seems there are others who are even more impatient than I am..."

After putting the treasure into her pocket, Dai Yao did not leave immediately.

She glanced around, her eyes mocking, as if to say, "Who else dares to disagree?"

Xuanyuan Po clutched his chest, his face pale, his eyes filled with resentment.

Bai Shuang broke free from her restraints, her alluring face bearing a hint of ruthlessness.

Lingfeng, Ziyun, and Yingyue all looked solemn, seemingly deep in thought.

"What? You want to take it back?" Dai Yao raised an eyebrow, her tone laced with provocation.

Everyone fell silent. They had all witnessed Dai Yao's methods and knew that forcibly taking things would only bring shame upon themselves.

Just then, a figure emerged from a hidden corner.

This was a man dressed in black, tall and slender, with a handsome face, exuding a cold aura.

"You are Dai Yao?" The man's voice was deep and magnetic.

"It is I, Dai Yao, what can I do for you?" Dai Yao asked with a smile.

"This treasure should have belonged to me." The man's tone was icy, and his eyes held a hint of murderous intent.

"Oh? Really? Too bad, it's mine now." Dai Yao shrugged, looking indifferent.

The man's eyes grew even colder, and a powerful aura emanated from him.

"You are looking for death."

"Hey, hey, hey, don't be so quick to call for war," Dai Yao waved her hand. "We, the people of the martial world, value harmony above all else."

"Enough with the nonsense, hand over the treasure!" The man clearly had no patience for her.

Dai Yao sighed, looking helpless.

"It seems that today we are going to have a fierce battle."

As soon as she finished speaking, her figure vanished from the spot.

The next moment, she appeared behind the man, a dagger in her hand, pressed against his neck.

"You..." The man was clearly taken aback by Dai Yao's speed and was momentarily stunned.

"Don't be nervous, I just want to tell you," Dai Yao whispered in the man's ear, "some things you can't just snatch if you want to."

After saying that, she sheathed her dagger, turned and left, leaving behind only a graceful silhouette.

……

As soon as Dai Yao stepped into the Demon Palace, she felt a sense of oppression...
