Chapter 93 The Demon Palace Confers Godhood, A New Journey Awaits
Dai Yao returned to her cave and immediately set up a soundproof barrier. This demonic palace was teeming with wolves and tigers, even more exhausting than the demons and monsters in the trials of immortal destiny.
Fortunately, she possesses a special ability (Golden Finger: originally referring to a game cheat device, here it can be understood as a special ability), trying to scheme against her? No way!
She sat cross-legged on the ground and began cultivating to consolidate her cultivation. The spiritual energy in the Demon Palace was so abundant, it was like a free feast; not taking advantage of it would be a huge loss.
These past few days, everyone in the Demon Palace has been talking about Dai Yao's "heroic performance" in the trial of immortal destiny. Various versions of rumors are flying around. Some say she single-handedly killed an ancient ferocious beast, some say she obtained the inheritance of an ancient powerful being, and some even more outrageous say she is a woman chosen by heaven, destined to unify the three realms... When Dai Yao heard these rumors, she couldn't help but roll her eyes. The imaginations of this generation of gossip-loving people are just too wild.
However, rumors aside, Dai Yao's status in the Demon Palace has indeed risen. The Demon Palace's higher-ups are about to hold a deification ceremony for her, appointing her as a Special Envoy of the Demon Palace—a position second only to the Demon Palace Lord.
Dai Yao appeared calm on the surface, but inside she was overjoyed. "Hmph, they all looked down on me before, but now they know how powerful I am!"
Conferring of Gods Ceremony
On the day of the investiture ceremony, Dai Yao changed into a dazzling (bling-bling) outfit exclusive to the Demon Palace, instantly blinding everyone. She strode arrogantly onto the high platform to receive the worship of the crowd. Those Demon Palace disciples who had once mocked and ridiculed her now lowered their proud heads, their eyes filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred.
Dai Yao was secretly pleased with herself; this feeling was absolutely amazing.
Just as she was about to give her remarks, the storage bag at her waist suddenly vibrated slightly, and the bead she had obtained from the trial of immortal destiny emitted a strange aura.
"What's going on?" Dai Yao was startled and looked down at her storage bag, only to see a flash of black light. Dai Yao was so blinded by the special effects and the deafening shout of "Welcome, Your Excellency!" that she almost fell flat on her face.
Fortunately, she kept her composure. After all, she was someone who had weathered countless storms, and this situation was no challenge for her. She smiled knowingly, preparing to deliver a long and stoic acceptance speech, and also to recount her arduous journey to these underlings, so they could truly appreciate the "charm of a comeback."
However, just as she was about to speak, the storage pouch at her waist began to vibrate violently. Dai Yao inwardly cried out in alarm; this crucial moment couldn't afford to fail her.
She glanced down discreetly and saw that the bead was emitting an eerie red light, like a time bomb about to explode.
unexpected events
Before Dai Yao could react, Ling Feng charged onto the platform like a wild horse. His face contorted with excitement, and he stammered, "Dai Yao! You're amazing! I...I..." His face flushed red, and after a long pause, he finally managed to utter a heart-wrenching confession: "I like you!"
Dai Yao looked completely bewildered: "???" This plot isn't going right! What happened to the supposed love triangle? How did it turn into a massive confession scene?
Seeing this, Lingyun, sitting in the audience, was so moved that she cried tears of joy; anyone who didn't know better would have thought she had been confessed to. The surrounding disciples of the Demon Palace also joined in the cheering, and the atmosphere reached a climax.
Dai Yao felt like a mascot, surrounded by a group of people, so embarrassed that she could dig a demon palace out of her toes.
With a heavy heart, Dai Yao gently embraced Ling Feng under everyone's watchful eyes. The cheers around them grew even louder, almost lifting the roof off the Demon Palace.
At this most glorious moment, the temperature of the beads in Dai Yao's hand suddenly rose.
"Ling Feng, why are your hands so hot?" Dai Yao felt as if she were holding a red-hot iron, so hot that she almost jumped out of her skin on the spot.
"Ling Feng, why are your hands so hot?" She pushed Ling Feng away abruptly, looked down, and saw that the bead was shining brightly red, like a small sun, almost blinding her titanium alloy dog eyes.
"Holy crap!" Dai Yao couldn't help but curse. Was this thing going to explode?
The cheers around her abruptly ceased, and everyone stared at her in disbelief. An eerie silence filled the air.
Ling Feng was also dumbfounded, scratching his head: "Hot? No, my hands are quite cool..." He reached out to touch Dai Yao's forehead, but she slapped his hand away.
"Don't touch me!" Dai Yao felt something ramming inside her, the pain making her feel like her internal organs were shifting.
She gritted her teeth, forcing herself not to show any unusual reaction, and mentally cursed: What kind of stupid cheat is this? It fails me at the crucial moment. I'd rather have a system! At least it could guide me through the operation!
Crisis strikes
At this moment, Lingyun, who had been quietly observing, suddenly exclaimed, "Sister Dai Yao, your face..."
Dai Yao subconsciously touched her face and found that her skin was burning hot, as if it were on fire.
She looked up at the crowd and saw that their eyes were filled with terror, as if they had seen some kind of monstrous flood.
"Oh no!" Alarm bells rang in Dai Yao's mind; this demonic artifact was about to backfire!
She staggered back a few steps, forcing herself to say, "I'm fine, just... a little tired."
However, before she could finish speaking, a powerful force erupted from her body, sending her flying.
Dai Yao fell heavily to the ground, her vision went black, and she lost consciousness.
"Dai Yao!" Ling Feng shouted hoarsely, trying to rush over, but was blocked by an invisible force.
He watched helplessly as Dai Yao collapsed to the ground, her body radiating an eerie red light.
Lingyun covered her mouth, her eyes filled with terror.
The surrounding Demon Palace disciples were also in chaos, discussing the matter amongst themselves.
"What happened? What's wrong with the envoy?"
"Could it be that he has gone mad from practicing qi cultivation?"
"What...what should we do?"
Amidst the chaos, a chilling voice quietly rang out: "Ha, truly heaven is on my side..."
Dai Yao's fingers twitched slightly...
