Transmigrated into the villain? Watch my epic comeback in the ethereal fairy realm!

The ghost stood atop the tower, its cold gaze sweeping across the area below like a venomous snake.

Black demonic energy churned in his palm, like a volcano about to erupt.

"Spirit Wind Demon, our game begins." He gave a sinister laugh, his voice echoing through the night sky.

Meanwhile, the Spirit Wind Demon occupies the ancient altar, surrounded by the traditional forces of the Demon Palace.

His hair and beard were all white, but his eyes were as sharp as an eagle's.

"Change? Hmph, a bunch of ignorant rats!" He slammed his cane heavily on the ground, causing a crack to appear in the earth.

The alliance between the Shadow Demon and the Spirit Wind Demon was like a bombshell dropped into the Demon Palace.

The atmosphere in the Demon Palace froze instantly, filled with tension and unease.

The members of the reformists were all on edge, as if a sword of Damocles was hanging over their heads at any moment.

"This is really bad..." Zi Yan scratched his head, looking anxious. He recalled the times he had been bullied by the Shadow Ghost's subordinates, and his anger burned fiercely, wishing he could rush up and fight them to the death immediately.

"What's the panic! We'll meet force with force, and water with water!" Blood Shadow remained calm, but his clenched fists betrayed his inner unease. In truth, Blood Shadow had struggled internally in the face of this great battle. He worried that killing too many enemies would bring unpredictable consequences, but for the future of the Demon Palace, he resolutely chose to fight.

Dai Yao, however, remained calm and composed, as if everything was under her control.

"Don't panic, it's nothing." She casually fiddled with the teacup in her hand, a mysterious smile playing on her lips.

Just then, Miao Wan rushed in, a hint of excitement on her face.

"Sister Dai Yao, I've heard some news!" she said breathlessly, "Many people in the Demon Palace are willing to support us!"

Dai Yao was slightly taken aback, then a glint of light flashed in her eyes. This was truly an unexpected delight!

Miao Wan continued, "They said they've long disapproved of the Shadow Demon and the Spirit Wind Demon's ways! They're willing to provide us with intelligence and assistance!"

Dai Yao's smile deepened. It seemed this game was getting more and more interesting.

Just then, a reformist disciple rushed in, panicking, "Report! Shadow Specter and Spirit Wind Demon...they..."

"What happened to them?" Dai Yao's eyes sharpened.

The disciple swallowed hard. "They...they went towards the treasure pavilion!"

Treasure Pavilion?

Dai Yao's eyes flickered, and she instantly understood their intentions.

"So that's how it is. It was a feint, the real target was the Demon Palace's most precious treasure—the Qiankun Mirror!" The Qiankun Mirror possesses the power to reverse the course of the universe. It is the Demon Palace's most prized treasure and the object that the Shadow Ghosts have always dreamed of.

He wants to obtain the Qiankun Mirror, control the entire Demon Palace, and even the entire Ether Realm!

"Good heavens, you've got quite the appetite!" Dai Yao sneered. "Dream on! Sisters, come with me!"

Dai Yao, along with Miao Wan, Xue Ying, Zi Yan, Leng Xing, and others, headed straight for the treasure pavilion.

On the way, Dai Yao told everyone her speculation.

"So that's how it is! That old thief is truly treacherous and cunning!" Zi Yan gritted his teeth, wishing he could tear Youying Ghost to pieces immediately.

"Sister Dai Yao, what should we do?" Miao Wan asked with some worry.

"Don't panic, it's a small matter," Dai Yao said confidently. "I've already made arrangements."

On the way to the treasure pavilion, Dai Yao had already set up numerous traps along the way based on the intelligence she had obtained.

These traps were all meticulously designed by her, enough to ensnare the Shadow Demon and the Wind Demon for a period of time.

When the Shadow Ghost, the Spirit Wind Demon, and their accomplices, the Illusion Moon, and other evil forces stormed towards the Treasure Pavilion, they never imagined that what awaited them was a trap laid by Dai Yao.

Boom! Bang! Crack!

A series of explosions rang out, and the Shadow Demon and Spirit Wind Demon's minions fell into the traps, howling and screaming in chaos.

"What's going on?!" Ghost Ghost's expression changed drastically; he realized he had been ambushed.

"Hahaha, you old thief, you've finally met your match!" Zi Yan laughed loudly, charging into the enemy ranks first. The flames in his hands raged like a fire dragon, sweeping through the enemy ranks. During the battle, Zi Yan not only fought bravely but also kept a close eye on the safety of his teammates, protecting his companions.

Leng Xing calmly directed the reformist members, skillfully using the terrain to their advantage and deflect the enemy's attacks. However, Leng Xing was actually terrified of insects; when he saw a giant demonic insect flying towards him, he couldn't help but tremble, but quickly regained his composure.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the Shadow Ghost and the Spirit Wind Demon took action themselves.

The Shadow Ghost unleashed dark magic, instantly turning the surrounding air chilly, as if one were in the deepest hell.

The Spirit Wind Demon summoned a powerful demonic wind that uprooted the surrounding trees, sending sand and stones flying and blotting out the sun.

Dai Yao and Xue Ying join forces to fight against Youying Gui and Lingfeng Mo.

Dai Yao's special ability allows her to predict her opponent's attacks, while Xue Ying's late-stage Nascent Soul cultivation gives him formidable combat power.

For a time, the two sides fought fiercely, and the surrounding buildings teetered on the brink of collapse under the impact of the battle.

Just then, Dai Yao suddenly noticed that when the Shadow Ghost cast dark magic, a tiny opening would appear on its neck… Dai Yao's lips curled up slightly, “Heh, found you…”

Dai Yao smiled wickedly and whispered, "Old man, your death is near!" She quickly formed hand seals, and golden spiritual energy flowed from her fingertips, gathering into a dazzling lotus flower.

"Let me show you the power of my self-created 'Lotus Burst Fist'!" This Lotus Burst Fist is a move she created by combining modern combat techniques with cultivation magic, and its power is astonishing.

Just as Dai Yao was about to launch a fatal blow against the Shadow Ghost, the Shadow Ghost sensed the danger and tried to counterattack. At the critical moment, Zi Yan intervened, using a blazing fire to distract the Shadow Ghost and create an excellent opportunity for Dai Yao to attack.

With a loud "boom," the lotus flower exploded, radiating golden light like a blooming firework, dazzling and spectacular.

The Shadow Demon screamed in agony as his body was blasted to pieces, and his soul was torn apart by the powerful force, disappearing completely into the world.

"Holy crap! He did it in seconds?" Zi Yan stared wide-eyed at the scene in disbelief.

When the opposition saw the Shadow Demon instantly killed, they were thrown into chaos, leaderless, and scattered like headless flies.

Seeing this, Lingfeng Mo knew things were going badly and turned to make a quick getaway.

"Trying to run? Not so easy!" Blood Shadow sneered, his figure flashing as he blocked Spirit Wind Demon's path.

"Blood Shadow, we have no past grievances or present enmity, why must you be so ruthless?" Lingfeng shouted, his voice fierce but his voice weak.

"Hehe, you colluded with the Shadow Demon to try and seize the Qiankun Mirror, that debt hasn't been settled yet!" Blood Shadow swung his longsword, the sword energy like a rainbow, directly approaching Spirit Wind Demon.

Dai Yao stood atop the Demon Palace's main hall, a massive blood moon casting a crimson glow that made her figure appear exceptionally majestic. A dazzling golden light emanated from her, and the surrounding Demon Palace members knelt in support. Raising her magic wand, a symbol of the Demon Palace's power, she proclaimed loudly, "The Demon Palace's reforms officially begin!"

Her proposed reforms were supported by most of the members of the Demon Palace.

Those traditional forces that were originally wavering have also expressed their support after seeing the fate of the opposition.

Dai Yao did not pursue Ling Fengmo to the bitter end, but instead gave him a chance: "As long as you are willing to accept change, I can forgive and forget." Ling Fengmo weighed the pros and cons and ultimately chose to compromise.

The transformation of the Demon Palace was in full swing, and everything was developing in the direction Dai Yao had envisioned.

"Reporting to the Palace Master, everything is arranged properly." Leng Xing stood respectfully in front of Dai Yao.

Dai Yao smiled slightly, about to speak, when she suddenly sensed an unusual aura... She turned around abruptly, looking towards the entrance of the main hall, her eyes instantly becoming sharp.

"Who?!"
