From a loser to an immortal sage

Chapter 294 Xiao Yao Reveals the Truth: The Ultimate Victory

I gripped the ancient book tightly in my hand, my fingertips turning white from the force.

The words on the pages seemed to come alive, transforming into countless tiny tentacles that entwined my mind.

I could sense a powerful force stirring in the shadows, like a giant beast lurking in the abyss, ready to devour me at any moment.

A putrid stench permeated the air, like a rotting corpse from the depths of the earth, making one want to vomit.

The surrounding scenery began to blur. The once familiar landscape of the immortal gate was now shrouded in mist, appearing both strange and eerie.

I gripped the longsword tightly in my hand. The cold touch calmed me down a little, but my heart was still pounding like a drum.

I walked forward step by step, but what I was stepping on was no longer solid bluestone slabs, but a soft and sticky substance, making an unsettling "plop" sound with each step.

I could feel the danger approaching, rising wave after wave like the tide.

My breathing became rapid, and my eyes scanned my surroundings like those of a hawk, not missing a single suspicious detail.

Suddenly, a dazzling light flashed, and I felt everything go black before my eyes. Then I was bound by a powerful force.

My body felt as if it were bound by countless invisible ropes, unable to move.

I tried to struggle, but found that my strength was like a stone thrown into the sea, completely useless.

In their line of sight, countless mysterious runes flickered in the air, twisting and writhing like living things, emitting a terrifying light that sent chills down their spines.

These runes intertwined into a huge net, trapping me firmly.

I could feel that the power of this restriction was far beyond my imagination; it was like a huge cage, imprisoning me inside.

I gritted my teeth and forced myself to calm down.

I cannot sit idly by and wait to die; I must find a way to break this restriction.

However, as time ticked by, my body grew weaker and weaker, and my anxiety intensified.

The surrounding light grew increasingly blinding, as if something was about to break free from its cocoon.

"It seems you've arrived." A deep voice echoed in the air, tinged with sarcasm.

My heart tightened. I knew that voice all too well; it was the voice of the mastermind behind it all.

I tried to break free from those invisible constraints, but to no avail.

Just then, a familiar wave of immortal energy emanated from me, and my heart warmed; I knew Wen Chen had arrived.

"Wen Chen, help me quickly!" I shouted, my voice filled with urgency.

Wen Chen appeared beside me like lightning, his eyes sharp and his aura imposing.

With a wave of his hands, a dazzling beam of divine light burst forth from his hands, striking directly at the center of the restriction.

The power of the restriction was shaken slightly by the attack, but it was not completely broken.

The surrounding air instantly became extremely oppressive, as if the entire space was being distorted by the power of the restriction.

The runes, like a swirling vortex, swirled around us, emitting a blinding light.

I could feel the power of those runes constantly increasing, trying to trap us completely.

"Xiao Yao, hold on!" Wen Chen's voice was firm and calm. He quickly took out a celestial sword, the tip of which shimmered with a faint blue light.

He plunged the immortal sword into the ground, and the ground beneath the sword tip instantly cracked open, releasing a stream of clear spring water that slightly weakened the power of the restriction.

"Let's attack together!" I gritted my teeth, and the power hidden within me was unleashed.

I unfolded the ancient book in my hand, and the words on the pages seemed to come alive, transforming into countless golden runes that intertwined with the light of Wen Chen's immortal sword.

I swung my longsword and, together with Wen Chen, launched a fatal attack on the restriction.

Our combined strength was unstoppable, and the power of the restriction was completely torn apart at this moment.

The surrounding space was distorted by the power of the restriction, undulating like waves.

I felt the restraints on my body gradually weaken, and I regained my freedom.

Sweat dripped from my forehead, and Wen Chen's forehead was also covered in beads of sweat, but our...

Just then, I suddenly remembered my experience of seeking revenge, and a loophole in the schemer's plan.

I quickly closed the ancient book in my hands and gently stroked a symbol on the spine.

I discovered this symbol by chance while seeking revenge; it can unleash hidden powers within ancient texts.

Those around me were clearly surprised by my actions, and an atmosphere of confusion permeated the air.

The power of the restriction suddenly became disordered at this moment, as if it were being stirred up by some invisible force.

Wen Chen and I exchanged a glance, and we made a decision.

"Wen Chen, are you ready?" I asked in a low voice, my eyes filled with determination.

"Ready." Wen Chen nodded, his eyes flashing with determination.

I took a deep breath and flicked my finger. The runes from the ancient book flew out like shooting stars, striking the center of the restriction.

The power of the restriction was completely destroyed at this moment, and the entire space seemed to have been torn open.

Wen Chen and I held each other's hands tightly, our hearts filled with the joy of victory.

Just then, a shadow slowly emerged from the crack, and a pair of cold eyes gleamed with a deep light in the darkness.

The moment the barrier shattered, a putrid aura swept over, as if the seal of an ancient tomb had been lifted.

A figure slowly emerged from the swirling dust.

He was dressed in a black robe, his face hidden under a hood, and surrounded by a nauseating black mist.

I could feel the powerful energy emanating from him, like a lurking beast, which sent chills down my spine.

It's him, it's him!

The mastermind behind all of this!

"You've finally shown up!" I shouted sharply, pointing my long sword directly at the man in black.

He let out a low, cold laugh, like the hooting of an owl, which sent chills down one's spine.

"Xiao Yao, do you think you've won? Everything you've done has been nothing but a futile struggle."

I sneered and raised the ancient book in my hand high.

"You think your conspiracy is flawless? I saw through your trick long ago!" I read aloud the contents of the ancient book word by word, which contained all the details of his meticulously planned conspiracy.

His face gradually turned pale.

As I spoke, the air around us seemed to freeze, and everyone held their breath, staring at the man in black robes in disbelief.

They never imagined that their seemingly respectable fellow disciples would be such a treacherous mastermind.

"You...you're talking nonsense!" the man in black robes roared hoarsely, but his voice sounded so weak.

"I'm talking nonsense?" I sneered, pointing to the crowd around me. "They are all witnesses. What else do you have to say for yourself?"

The crowd was filled with righteous indignation and glared angrily at the man in black.

They had been deceived by him, but now that the truth was out, their anger erupted like a volcano, and they could no longer contain it.

"Slay him!" someone shouted, and everyone unleashed their magical weapons, launching an attack on the man in black.

A dazzling array of colorful spells streaked across the night sky like a meteor shower, engulfing the man in black robes.

He let out a scream as his body was torn apart by a powerful force, turning into specks of starlight and disappearing into the night sky.

I stood there, bathed in the light of glory, my heart filled with pride.

I made it!

I finally uncovered the conspiracy and resolved the crisis for the Immortal Sect.

Wen Chen walked to my side and gently embraced me.

I could feel his warm embrace and the deep love in his eyes.

“We won,” he said softly, his voice trembling slightly.

I nodded, buried my head in his chest, and savored the peace and happiness of the moment.

The air around us was filled with warmth and sweetness, as if everything had returned to its original beauty.

Suddenly, I sensed something strange... Wen Chen's hand... was trembling?

Bathed in the admiring gazes of the crowd, I stood in the center of the Immortal Gate, a surge of unprecedented pride welling up within me.

The thrilling battle just now seems to be right before my eyes, and the lingering fluctuations of immortal energy in the air still stir my hair.

I could feel my clothes were soaked with sweat, clinging tightly to my skin, but I didn't feel a chill at all. Instead, I was enveloped by a sense of pride, and a warm current welled up from the bottom of my heart.

The disciples around me looked at me with awe, and I could even hear them whispering, praising my courage and wisdom.

I smiled slightly, feeling this glorious moment, my heart filled with a sense of accomplishment.

"Senior Sister Xiao Yao, you are amazing!" A young disciple ran over excitedly, his eyes shining with admiration.

"You not only exposed the conspiracy, but also saved the entire immortal sect. You are simply our hero!"

I gently patted his shoulder and encouraged him, "This is not just my achievement, but the result of everyone's joint efforts. As long as we are united, no difficulty can stop us from moving forward."

Just then, the sect leader walked over and looked at me kindly. "Xiao Yao, you have done very well. You have made a great contribution to the Immortal Sect. From today onwards, you will be an elder of the Immortal Sect. I hope you will continue to work hard and contribute your strength to the future of the Immortal Sect."

I bowed respectfully to the sect leader, my heart filled with gratitude.

Becoming an elder has always been my dream, and now that it has finally come true, I feel incredibly honored and proud.

However, just as I was basking in joy, I suddenly heard a disciple whisper, "I've heard there are signs of rebellion within the Immortal Sect. I wonder if it's true..."

My heart sank suddenly, and a sense of unease welled up inside me.

Rebellion?

How can this be?

The immortal sects have just weathered a crisis, how could another rebellion possibly break out?

I forced myself to calm down and listened carefully to the sounds around me.

"Shh, keep your voice down, don't let the elders hear you," another disciple whispered. "I heard the rebellion is quite large, and they've already taken control of a portion of the Immortal Sect's territory."

My brow furrowed, my heart filled with doubt and worry.

If a rebellion were to occur, it would pose a tremendous threat to the Immortal Sect.

I must find out the truth as soon as possible and prevent this rebellion from happening.

I took a deep breath and said to the disciples beside me, "I have some things to take care of. You all go back and rest first."

I turned and left the crowd, heading deeper into the immortal sect.

I could feel my steps growing heavier and heavier, and the unease in my heart growing stronger.

"Xiao Yao, be careful..." A familiar voice rang out behind me.

I turned around and saw Wen Chen.

His eyes flickered uncertainly, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

My heart tightened, and I grabbed his hand. "What's wrong?"

He was silent for a moment before finally speaking, "I...I just received the news..."
