Chapter 211 Pre-battle planning, aiming at the mastermind behind the scenes

"The Chosen One? Amazing!" Dai Yao internally exclaimed, having just digested this earth-shattering secret.

Wow, who knew there was such a big shot hiding right next to me!

No wonder this guy is always so mysterious.

The mysterious figure, who should now be called the Chosen One, looked at Dai Yao's expression of "old man on the subway looking at his phone.jpg" and sighed helplessly, "Now is not the time to be shocked, Yao Yao. We need to think about how to deal with the upcoming battle."

"Yes, yes, yes, getting things done is the priority!" Dai Yao instantly switched back to battle mode.

With a great battle imminent, she looked around at the members of her own faction, and familiar faces flashed before her eyes.

These were her brothers and sisters who had gone through thick and thin with her along the way. Thinking of the dangers they were about to face, Dai Yao's heart clenched.

Especially the key members of their own faction, who were all in the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm and had considerable strength, were still no match for the mastermind behind the scenes who was in the late stage of the Divine Transformation realm.

If this area is targeted for a major attack, it's practically suicide!

"Sigh, this is so frustrating..." Dai Yao couldn't help but sigh. This was practically a hellish difficulty dungeon!

Seeing her worried expression, the Child of Heaven comforted her, "Don't worry, Yao Yao, we will win."

"I hope so..." Dai Yao said, but she wasn't sure in her heart.

Without realizing it, she did some quick calculations with her fingers, activating her ability to sense the flow of fortune.

Streams of fortune flowed before her eyes, like shimmering threads, weaving together a complex picture.

and many more!

Dai Yao suddenly discovered that there were actually quite a few chosen ones hidden within her own forces!

These people's fortune is like the rising sun, shining brightly!

Especially that rising star of the cultivation world, although he is only at the late stage of the Golden Core realm, his fortune is so great that it is about to break through the sky!

Dai Yao's eyes lit up; this was like a divine intervention from heaven!

With these chosen ones, our chances of winning have increased significantly!

She felt confident again!

"It seems the heavens are still on my side!" Dai Yao smiled confidently, then turned to the Child of Heaven and said, "I suddenly have a bold idea..."

Seeing the glint in Dai Yao's eyes, the Child of Heaven had a vague premonition that something big was about to happen...

He silently gripped the sword in his hand and said, "Speak." Dai Yao leaned close to the Son of Heaven's ear and whispered a few words.

Upon hearing this, the Child of Heaven's eyes widened like saucers: "Wonderful! Yao Yao, how did you develop such a brain? You're simply a genius!"

Dai Yao raised an eyebrow smugly: "Basic procedure, don't make a fuss." She then turned to the crowd, cleared her throat, and shouted: "Brothers and sisters, I know you're all nervous, but! We absolutely cannot lose! Behind us is the entire cultivation world, the common people! We must protect them!"

Dai Yao's impassioned speech instantly ignited everyone's fighting spirit.

Just then, a powerful surge of demonic energy suddenly attacked!

"Enemy attack!" someone exclaimed.

Dai Yao's eyes sharpened: "They're here!"

The mastermind's right-hand man, leading a small elite force, appeared like ghosts on the outskirts of the camp.

They clearly wanted to catch their opponents off guard and disrupt their own forces.

The battle is imminent!

"Stay calm! Don't panic!" Dai Yao commanded calmly, quickly making arrangements based on the intelligence she had gathered earlier.

"Second team, third team, flank from the left! First team, engage the enemy head-on! Fourth team, protect the rear!"

The battle was extremely fierce, with shouts of battle deafening.

Although their own forces were in high spirits, they were still slightly inferior in both numbers and strength, and gradually found themselves unable to hold on.

The mastermind's right-hand man, with his late-stage Nascent Soul strength, was no joke. Wielding a black longsword, he was like a grim reaper, reaping one life after another.

"Oh no! They're about to collapse!" Dai Yao's heart tightened.

Just at this critical moment, she suddenly realized that although the enemy's attack was fierce, it was too concentrated, leaving the rear vulnerable!

"Now! Concentrate your firepower and attack their rear!" Dai Yao ordered decisively.

Upon receiving the order, members of their own faction immediately adjusted their formation and concentrated their forces to attack the enemy's weak points.

This move was unexpected and caught the enemy off guard.

The mastermind's right-hand man's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly ordered his men to retreat.

"Chase them! Don't let them get away!" Dai Yao pressed her advantage and led the group to drive the enemy out of the camp.

When the smoke cleared, the camp was a mess.

Although a temporary victory had been achieved, everyone knew that this was just an appetizer before the big battle.

The real battle is yet to come.

A mysterious figure quietly approached Dai Yao, took her hand, and offered her silent support.

Dai Yao felt the warmth of his palm, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart.

"Fortunately, we held on..." Dai Yao sighed softly.

“Hmm,” the mysterious figure nodded, “Next…” He paused, looking into the distance, “it’s time to meet the mastermind behind it all.” The smoke-filled battlefield gradually subsided, the air thick with the smell of blood and burning.

Standing on the hillside, Dai Yao looked at the devastated camp and felt a mix of emotions.

Although she won the battle, the pyrrhic victory weighed heavily on her heart.

"Thank goodness, I made it through..." Dai Yao murmured to herself, rubbing her aching temples.

Beside her, a mysterious figure handed her a pot of warm spiritual tea: "Yao Yao, have some."

Dai Yao took the teapot, took a small sip, and a warm current flowed down her throat into her heart, dispelling the chill from her body.

"Thank you."

"What do you plan to do next?" The mysterious figure gazed into the distance, his tone grave.

Dai Yao pondered for a moment, a glint of light flashing in her eyes: "I have received intelligence that the mastermind is secretly setting up a large-scale formation called the 'Nine Netherworld Annihilation Formation'. Once the formation is completed, we will all be reduced to ashes."

"What?!" a key member of their faction exclaimed in shock. "The Nine Netherworld Annihilation Array?! That's an ancient forbidden array, powerful enough to destroy the heavens and the earth!"

The rising star of the cultivation world also looked worried: "Sister Yao Yao, what should we do?"

Dai Yao smiled mysteriously: "What's the panic? We'll deal with whatever comes our way. Since he likes playing with formations, we'll play along."

"You mean..." The mysterious figure seemed to understand Dai Yao's intention.

“That’s right,” Dai Yao’s eyes gleamed with cunning. “Instead of going to great lengths to stop him from setting up the formation, we might as well turn the tables and use the formation against him!”

Everyone looked at each other, shocked by Dai Yao's idea.

This is too bold!

Using the enemy's formation against the enemy is like dancing on a knife's edge; the slightest mistake could lead to utter destruction.

"Yaoyao, this is too dangerous!" an important member of their faction said worriedly.

"Fortune favors the bold," Dai Yao waved her hand dismissively. "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. I've already come up with a plan to make sure he loses more than he gains!"

Dai Yao then gathered everyone together and began to explain her plan in detail.

As she spoke, the worry on everyone's faces gradually gave way to excitement and anticipation.

"Brilliant! Yao Yao, your move is absolutely brilliant!" The Child of Heaven couldn't help but clap and cheer after hearing the plan.

"Hehe, it's just a trivial skill, nothing to brag about," Dai Yao smiled modestly, then her eyes sharpened. "However, to successfully implement this plan, we need everyone to work together and proceed cautiously step by step..."

She paused, her gaze sweeping over everyone, and said in a deep voice, "Is everyone ready?"

"Ready!" the crowd responded in unison, their fighting spirit high.

"Alright!" Dai Yao waved her hand. "Let's get started!"

Night falls and the stars are shining.

Dai Yao and her group silently infiltrated the mastermind's territory...

The mysterious figure watched Dai Yao's retreating figure, his eyes filled with worry, yet also with trust.

He gently tightened his grip on the sword and whispered, "Yaoyao, be careful..."

Dai Yao waved her small hand, displaying a commanding air: "Wan'er, take the Star of Hope to Falling Star Cliff in the east. Remember, do it secretly, understand?"

Miao Wan nodded obediently, grabbed the eager rising star of the cultivation world, and the two transformed into two streaks of light, disappearing into the night.

Dai Yao turned to look at the mysterious figure and smiled slyly: "Now it's up to us!"

The two arrived at a secluded cave, where spiritual energy filled the air, and a huge Bagua array plate was placed in the center.

This was precisely the location that Dai Yao deduced from intelligence—the location where the mastermind had set up the "Nine Netherworld Annihilation Array."

"Yaoyao, are you sure you want to do this? This is a life-threatening job!" The mysterious figure had a hint of worry in his eyes.

"Relax, relax," Dai Yao patted his shoulder and said nonchalantly, "Who am I? I'm known as the 'Master of Survival,' how could I possibly kill myself?"

As she spoke, she pulled a bunch of strange materials from her storage bag: glittering ores, herbs emitting a peculiar fragrance, and...

An ordinary-looking brick?

The mysterious figure's lips twitched: "Yao Yao, are you sure this brick will work?"

"Of course it's useful! This is a treasure I found in ancient ruins, called 'Bricklaying for Wealth,' specially made for smashing people. One brick and even a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator will have to kneel down and call me daddy!" Dai Yao explained proudly, as if this brick was some kind of peerless divine artifact.

Mysterious figure: "..."

He sighed silently and began to help Dai Yao set up the formation.

Dai Yao's plans sound far-fetched, but she always manages to turn danger into safety and create miracles.

This time, he chose to believe her.

Dai Yao incorporated the special ability of the rising star of the cultivation world—a power that can disrupt space—into the formation, making the entire formation even more unpredictable and treacherous.

Key members of their own faction also rushed to help. Seeing Dai Yao arranging everything in an orderly manner, their originally uneasy hearts gradually calmed down.

"Yaoyao, are you really confident?" A key member of their faction couldn't help but ask.

"Don't worry, buddy," Dai Yao gave him a reassuring look, "everything is under control!"

As the last spirit stone was embedded into the array's core, the entire cave was suddenly illuminated, and the Bagua array plate slowly began to rotate, with a powerful energy wave spreading outwards.

Dai Yao's lips curled into a confident smile: "The show is about to begin..."

The mysterious figure looked at her, a strange unease rising in his heart, and he subconsciously tightened his grip on the sword in his hand.

"Yao Yao..."

"Shh—" Dai Yao held up a finger, signaling him to be quiet, "Someone's coming..."
