Chapter 214 Exploring the Ruins, Turning the Tide

A clear shout came from afar, and a figure rushed over in a flurry of activity. It was none other than the rising star of the cultivation world. This young man jumped three feet high and almost bumped into Dai Yao.

"Sister Yao, wait for me! How can an adventure be complete without me!"

Dai Yao sighed and rubbed her forehead in exasperation. This young man was so energetic that it made her envious and jealous.

She turned to the crowd and said, "Everyone, be alert! This ruin is no joke. Be careful, or you'll be finished in no time."

As the group stepped into the ruins, an ancient and mysterious aura enveloped them, with a faint smell of decay permeating the air, sending a chill down their spines for no apparent reason.

Surrounded by jagged rocks and dim lighting, the atmosphere was absolutely amazing—a scene straight out of a horror movie.

"Hiss... This place is so gloomy, could there be something dirty here?" A key member of their faction rubbed his arms, looking wary.

"What's there to be afraid of? Sister Yao is here!" Hope Star looked at Dai Yao with admiration, as if Dai Yao were an omnipotent goddess.

Dai Yao's lips twitched. This young man was overestimating her.

Although she can sense fortune, she is not omnipotent!

The ruins are eerie; one wrong move and you could easily overturn your vehicle.

Fortunately, Dai Yao had met the guardian of this ruin by chance before. Although they were not close enough to become brothers, they were still somewhat familiar with each other.

Thanks to the connections she had built up, Dai Yao successfully avoided several deadly traps, earning everyone's utmost respect.

"Sister Yao is amazing! She could even predict that?" Hope's eyes practically sparkled.

"Don't be alarmed, sit down." Dai Yao waved her hand, pretending to be calm, but secretly she was glad that she hadn't offended the guardian too much before.

The group cautiously continued deeper into the ruins, where all was silent except for the faint echo of their footsteps.

Suddenly, Dai Yao stopped and looked ahead with a serious expression. "Wait..." "Wait..." Before Dai Yao could finish speaking, the ground shook violently, the surrounding stone walls began to tremble, and gravel fell down in a flurry.

"Holy crap! What's going on?!" Hope Star ran away with her head in her hands, almost getting hit by a falling rock.

Several ferocious-looking guardian beasts emerged from the shadows, their bodies radiating an eerie green light, and lunged at the group with bared fangs and claws.

"Damn! This thing looks awful!" A key member of their faction complained, then drew his sword to fight.

These guardian beasts are incredibly fast, have tricky attacks, and are thick-skinned, so ordinary attacks can't even scratch them.

Dai Yao immediately realized, "Something's wrong with these guys. Their attacks are too methodical, like someone is controlling them!"

As expected, the mastermind's right-hand man, hiding in the shadows, was smiling sinisterly, constantly changing hand seals to control the rhythm of the guardian beast's attacks, keeping Dai Yao and the others busy.

"Hmph, you little minions think you can uncover the secrets of the ruins? Wishful thinking!"

While dodging the attacks of the guardian beasts, Dai Yao observed their movements, her mind racing to find an opening.

The mysterious figure remained by her side throughout, shielding her from several fatal attacks, his eyes filled with concern.

"Be careful!" His deep voice rang in Dai Yao's ears, warming her heart.

This feeling of fighting side by side made her feel incredibly at ease and strengthened her resolve to defeat the enemy.

"Their attacks are tricky, but they seem to follow a certain pattern..." Dai Yao said in a low voice as she dodged.

She directed her team to change formation and begin an organized counterattack, gradually figuring out the guardian beast's attack patterns.

"Focus your attack on their bellies! That's their weak point!"

The battle was reaching its climax when Hope suddenly exclaimed, "Sister Yao! Look..." He pointed to one of the guardian beasts, his voice filled with disbelief...

Pointing to one of the guardian beasts, Hope Star said with a hint of disbelief, "Sister Yao! Look... it looks like there's a QR code on its belly!"

Dai Yao was stunned for a moment. "QR code? What the heck is this?" Upon closer inspection, she was surprised to find that there was indeed a QR code-like pattern on the guardian beast's oily green belly, flashing as if it were breathing.

"Wow, is it possible to get a reward just by scanning a QR code?" A key member of their faction couldn't help but complain.

A thought flashed through Dai Yao's mind, "Wait! Could this be a mechanism to control them?" She quickly commanded everyone, "Attack the QR code!"

Although everyone was confused, they still did as instructed.

Various spells and flying swords were unleashed at the "QR code" on the guardian beast's belly.

With a "beep," the guardian beast froze instantly as if the power had been cut off, then crashed to the ground and vanished in a wisp of smoke.

"Wow! It actually works!" Hope Star jumped up excitedly.

Seeing their companion fall, the other guardian beasts also began to panic, disrupting their attack rhythm.

Dai Yao and her group pressed their advantage and quickly eliminated all the remaining guardian beasts.

The mastermind's right-hand man, hiding in the shadows, was furious upon seeing this. "Damn it! They actually discovered our weakness!"

After the battle, Dai Yao felt a mysterious force approaching her, a feeling that seemed familiar.

She closed her eyes, concentrated, and used her special ability to sense the direction of this power's flow.

"This power... seems to be usable by me!" She was overjoyed and began to try to guide this power and integrate it into her body.

The mysterious figure silently guarded Dai Yao's side, watching the increasingly powerful aura emanating from her, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes.

Just as Dai Yao was about to successfully guide the mysterious power, a deep voice suddenly came from the depths of the ruins: "Who dares to tamper with the power of destiny..."

Dai Yao felt as if every pore on her body opened up, and this mysterious power, like hot spring water, nourished her meridians, making her feel incredibly refreshed.

"Wuhu! Take off!" Dai Yao couldn't help but shout in her heart.

Just then, a sinister voice came from the depths of the ruins: "Who dares to tamper with the power of fate..." This voice made Dai Yao shudder, almost causing her to go berserk.

"Holy crap! No way, the boss is here already?" Dai Yao thought to herself, quickly calming herself down and trying to absorb the last bit of power.

"Hurry up, hurry up, get it done faster!" she urged her inner strength as if she were a delivery guy.

The mysterious figure gripped his weapon tightly, cautiously glancing around.

Key members of their own faction were also on high alert, protecting the rising star of the cultivation world.

There was a tense atmosphere in the air, like the calm before the storm.

"Sister Yao, that voice...it's terrifying!" The rising star of the cultivation world clutched the hem of an important member of her faction's clothes tightly, her voice trembling slightly.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here!" Dai Yao comforted her, pretending to be relaxed, but her heart was pounding.

She now feels like a little white rabbit being targeted by a wolf, and could be eaten at any moment.

Suddenly, a dark shadow flashed out from the depths of the ruins, moving so fast that it was difficult to catch.

The shadowy figure landed, revealing a sinister and terrifying face—the mastermind behind it all!

He stared coldly at Dai Yao, a cruel smile playing on his lips: "Little girl, you've got guts, daring to touch my things!"

Dai Yao's heart sank, knowing that a fierce battle was inevitable.

She took a deep breath and tried to keep herself calm.

"Your things? When did these things in the ruins become yours?"

"Hmph! The power of this ruin is destined to be mine!" The mastermind behind the scenes spoke domineeringly, his eyes filled with greed.

He slowly raised his hand, and a powerful pressure instantly enveloped the entire ruins, making everyone breathless.

Dai Yao felt as if a huge rock was pressing on her chest, making it difficult to breathe.

"What a powerful aura! No wonder he's a late-stage Nascent Soul expert!" she thought to herself, but her face showed no fear.

"Come on! Let me see just how capable you really are!" Dai Yao gripped her weapon tightly, her eyes fixed firmly on the mastermind behind the scenes.

"Thirty years to Hedong, thirty years to Hexi, don't bully young girls into poverty!"

The mastermind sneered, about to make a move, when suddenly...

"Wait!" A voice interrupted the impending battle.
