Genius in the whole system: The useless young lady dominates the world

In the desolate city, the deafening shouts of battle continued. Nalan Rongzhi, clad in black armor and wielding a long halberd, appeared to be charging bravely, but in reality, he firmly controlled the rhythm of the battle, putting immense pressure on Nalan Rongshang without prematurely determining the victor.

Nalan Rongshang retreated to the top of the city wall, looking down at the stalemate in the battle below, a smug sneer on his lips. In his eyes, Nalan Rongzhi had already fallen into his trap, fighting to the death for a fake "Xiling Qianluo". The substitute in the dungeon was carefully selected by him, and the aura was imitated so realistically that it was indistinguishable from the real thing. As long as Nalan Rongzhi stormed into the palace, he would be caught in a trap.

"Brother, my dear brother, all your wisdom in this life has been wasted, and in the end you still fell victim to familial ties." Nalan Rongshang raised a cup of blood-red wine, offering a toast to the figures fighting below, his eyes gleaming with a cruel and excited light. "Once you're dead, the entire Demon Realm will be mine!"

Unbeknownst to him, the prey in his eyes was playing a cat-and-mouse game with his script, while the real killing move was quietly brewing deep within his supposedly impregnable mansion.

Amidst the clamor and chaos, two figures, like ghosts, silently bypassed layers of guards and sneaked into the brightly lit yet murderous royal palace.

Lu Lingxi and Youming landed lightly in a secluded courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion, like two nimble swallows. A faint spatial fluctuation enveloped Lu Lingxi, making her figure appear blurry.

Youming transformed into a small cat, about the size of a palm, with wings on its back, and perched on Lu Lingxi Yao's shoulder, its bright eyes scanning the surroundings warily.

“Master, the guards here are even tighter than outside. It seems that Nalan Rongshang’s lair is well-defended.” Youming communicated with Lu Lingxi Yao using his spiritual power, his voice carrying a hint of amusement.

“As expected.” Lu Lingxi’s tone was calm, but her eyes were sharp as a hawk as she quickly analyzed the surrounding environment. “Nalan Rongzhi has caused such a commotion outside, most of the elites in the manor should have been attracted to the front yard and the vicinity of the dungeon, which has given us an opportunity.”

She closed her eyes, and her powerful mental energy spread out like invisible tentacles, carefully examining every corner of the mansion. Soon, her brows furrowed slightly.

"Hmm? Something's strange."

"What's wrong, Master?" Youming asked curiously.

“Deep within the mansion, underground, there’s a very subtle yet extremely powerful energy fluctuation, it seems… to be the aura of a spatial teleportation array, and the direction of the connection is quite strange.” Lu Lingxi opened her eyes, a hint of solemnity flashing in them. “Let’s go take a look.”

The two concealed themselves once more, moving like ghosts among the pavilions and towers. The deeper they went into the mansion, the fewer guards there were, but each one exuded a very deep and imposing aura, clearly indicating that they were all experts.

With her exquisite control over spatial power, Lu Lingxi Yao could always slip through the blind spots and gaps in the guards' perception, while You Ming concealed all his aura and lay quietly in wait.

Finally, they arrived behind what appeared to be an ordinary artificial hill. Lu Lingxi Yao extended her slender fingers and tapped a few times on an inconspicuous stone in the hill in a specific rhythm. With a soft "click," a hidden door, just wide enough for one person to pass through, slid open on the side of the hill.

A cold, damp aura, mixed with sulfur and spatial energy, rushed towards them. Behind the hidden door was a stone staircase leading downwards.

"There really is a secret passage," Youming muttered to himself.

The two walked down the stone steps, which were very long and spiraled downwards, going deep into the ground. After walking for about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the view suddenly opened up before them.

A huge underground cavern appeared before them, and in the center of the cavern stood a massive and complex teleportation array!

This teleportation array was constructed using some kind of unknown black crystal, and inscribed with intricate runes that formed a mysterious pattern.

At the center of the teleportation array, space was slightly distorted, forming an unstable vortex that exuded an unsettling aura.

Around the cave, a dozen guards dressed in uniform black armor stood guard. They were cold-blooded and had empty eyes, like emotionless puppets. They were clearly specially trained assassins.

"What a grand gesture!" Youming exclaimed. "Where does this teleportation array connect to? It doesn't seem to be within the Demon Realm."

Lu Lingxi carefully observed the rune structure and energy flow of the teleportation array, her expression growing increasingly solemn. "If I'm not mistaken, this should be a teleportation channel leading to the 'Black Abyss'."

"Black Abyss?" Youming was taken aback.

“Hmm.” Lu Lingxi nodded. “It seems that Nalan Rongshang has long been colluding with Heiyuan. No wonder he has the confidence to compete with Rong Zhi for the position of Demon King. This teleportation array is probably the channel through which Heiyuan provides him with support and troops.”

Nalan Rongzhi has just reclaimed Jiuyou City, and his foundation is not yet stable. He has suffered huge losses. If Nalan Rongshang continues to receive support from the Black Abyss, Nalan Rongzhi will be in an extremely unfavorable situation, and may even be defeated.

"No, it must be destroyed!" A resolute glint flashed in Lu Lingxi's eyes.

If this teleportation array is allowed to exist, it will not only threaten Nalan Rongzhi, but also disrupt her plans. She originally planned to use this time to refine an antidote to completely eradicate the demonic poison for Nalan Rongzhi, but only if Nalan Rongzhi had a chance to catch his breath.

"Master, what should we do? These guards look tough to deal with," Youming asked, having already jumped off Lu Lingxi Yao's shoulder and transformed into the appearance of a human boy.

Lu Lingxi quickly glanced at the guards and the structure of the teleportation array, and already had a plan in mind. "Youming, go and lure these guards away. Make as much noise as possible, but don't get entangled in the fight. Lead them as far away as possible to buy me some time."

"Hehe, this is my specialty!" Excitement flashed in Youming's eyes, and a wicked smile curled at the corner of his mouth. "Master, just you wait and see!"

Before he finished speaking, Youming's figure suddenly transformed into a crimson streak of light, rushing straight towards another exit of the cave. At the same time, he formed hand seals and chanted incantations.

"Wood and fire can start a prairie fire!"

In an instant, countless vines burning with ghostly flames sprouted wildly from the stone walls on all sides, as if lashing out at the black-armored guards.

"who!"

"Enemy attack!"

The black-armored guards reacted swiftly, immediately sending one group to fend off the ghostly fire vines while the other group chased after the direction where Youming had disappeared. The cave was thrown into chaos, with the deafening roar of colliding energy filling the air.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Lu Lingxi Yao flashed to the teleportation array. Without hesitation, she quickly formed hand seals, and ten different elemental spiritual energies flowed and converged at her fingertips.

"The sharpness of metal, the vitality of wood, the gentleness of water, the intensity of fire, the thickness of earth..." she murmured, and with each incantation, a kind of elemental spiritual power merged into the constantly rotating energy ball in her palm.

The ten elements of spiritual power merged perfectly, forming a colorful sphere of light that exuded a chaotic aura. This sphere of light may not seem large, but it contained a terrifying power that was enough to tear apart space and annihilate all things.

"Break!" Lu Lingxi shouted, pressing the Chaos Orb in her hand against the core hub of the teleportation array!

"Om-"

With a buzzing sound, the entire underground cavern shook violently. The runes on the teleportation array flickered wildly, trying to resist this destructive power. Cracks began to appear on the array base made of black crystals, and the spatial vortex above fluctuated violently, as if it might collapse at any moment.

Lu Lingxi's face turned slightly pale. Maintaining the fusion of ten elements of spiritual power was a huge drain on her. She gritted her teeth and increased her spiritual power output once again.

"Click, click..."

Cracks spread rapidly like a spider web, covering the entire teleportation array. The black crystals that made up the array began to shatter and disintegrate piece by piece. The spatial vortex at the center of the teleportation array let out a mournful cry of unwillingness, then suddenly contracted and finally vanished completely.

"Boom——"

With a deafening roar, the massive teleportation array collapsed completely, turning into a pile of rubble, and the passage connecting to the Black Abyss was utterly destroyed!

Lu Lingxi breathed a sigh of relief and quickly swallowed a pill to restore her spiritual power. She dared not linger there and flashed away towards the direction where the commotion in Youming had occurred. At the same time, a secret message crossed the barrier of space and quietly reached Nalan Rongzhi, who was "fighting" outside the Wasteland City.
