The Game with Fairies

Fairy Liuli stood beside Li Muyang, calmly watching the old priest.

She was ready to strike if the old man made any sudden moves.

However, faced with the pressing questions from Li Muyang and herself, the old priest did not transform into a demonic boss to start a battle. Instead, a smile appeared on his face.

“It’s possible.”

After speaking, the old priest raised his right hand and fiercely plunged his index and middle fingers into his own eye sockets.

Amidst the spray of blood, the old priest, now with two dark hollows where his eyes had been, said with a grin, “Take my eyes to the mountain. They will guide you on your path.”

The old priest handed over two bloody eyeballs to Li Muyang.

【Inquire with the old priest to obtain clues about the disappearance of the veteran general of the Ever-Victorious Army–Completed】

【New Task: Carry the blood pupils into the Ancient Grudge Well】

“These blood pupils will lead you into the Ancient Grudge Well. The old general is inside. Fairy Chu should know about the Ancient Grudge Well.”

The old man, with his dark eye sockets, sat down on the spot, smiling as if he had no intention of leaving.

Li Muyang looked at the old priest with hesitation and then turned to Fairy Liuli, who had a serious expression on her face.

“The Ancient Grudge Well… Does it really exist in this world?”

But the old priest said no more. He sat there, smiling, motionless, as if even his breathing had completely ceased.

Fairy Liuli took a deep look at the old man before turning to Li Muyang. “Lord Wuming, we must descend the mountain immediately and report this to the authorities. The Ancient Grudge Well is a matter of great importance. Just the two of us are certainly not enough to handle it. We must call upon the Demon-Suppressing Masters from the Imperial Astronomical Bureau!”

Fairy Liuli’s expression was grave.

Throughout their journey, she had always followed Li Muyang’s lead. But this time, Chu Qingxue was unusually resolute.

Li Muyang thought for a moment and decided to follow the plot. “Alright. We’ll go down the mountain to find the Imperial Astronomical Bureau.”

Li Muyang was curious about the Demon-Suppressing Masters of the Imperial Astronomical Bureau and what they were really like.

Could they truly be related to Black Cloud Village?

This was an opportunity to interact with these Demon-Suppressing Masters.

He had only heard of their fierce reputation but had never seen a real Demon-Suppressing Master.

Once they agreed, Li Muyang and Fairy Liuli turned to descend the mountain.

Fairy Liuli took to the sky on her sword, transforming into a beam of light that flew into the distance.

Li Muyang accompanied her, enveloped in the sword’s light.

Although it took a long time to arrive, Fairy Liuli’s sword light was incredibly fast.

Li Muyang could feel the mountains rapidly receding behind them and the ground moving swiftly beneath their feet.

In just five minutes, Li Muyang and Fairy Liuli landed in a city. It was a large city with towering walls and crisscrossing streets, and the city gate bore the characters 【Lijiang (黎江)】. ℟

Fairy Liuli suppressed her flying light, and the two landed in front of a government office.

After revealing their identities, they were immediately invited into the back hall of the office.

Shortly after, a white-robed sorcerer from the Imperial Astronomical Bureau appeared before them.

“Imperial Astronomical Bureau’s Bai Feiran at your service, Fairy Liuli.”

Chu Qingxue was clearly well-known, as even the white-robed sorcerer stationed in the southwestern Lijiang County city had heard of Fairy Liuli’s reputation.

He looked at Li Muyang with surprise: “May I ask how this immortal is addressed…”

None of Master Qingye’s disciples seemed to match the person before him, neither in features nor in appearance.

However, this person had come with Fairy Liuli, indicating a close relationship.

Li Muyang gave a false name.

“I am Guan Xiaoshun, a casual cultivator from the mountains,” Li Muyang did not use the name Wuming.

Upon entering, he had seen a wanted notice for Wuming posted outside the government office.

The Heavenly Origin Dynasty was actually issuing a warrant for Wuming…

Tsk… These dogs, no wonder the dynasty is in its last days.

I saved so many people in Loushan City, and instead of being grateful, this dog of a government issues a warrant for me… Is there no justice?

No wonder Fairy Liuli despises the Heavenly Origin Dynasty so much.

This Imperial Dynasty that cannot distinguish right from wrong really deserves to fall.

Facing the white-robed sorcerer, Fairy Liuli stated her identity and briefly explained the situation with the Ancient Grudge Well.

The sorcerer stationed in Lijiang City immediately became solemn.

“The Ancient Grudge Well…”

He looked at the two of them.

It was a legend from ancient times, long dismissed as a false rumor. But the person before him was a high disciple of Master Qingye and was unlikely to speak without evidence, so the white-robed sorcerer did not dare to take it lightly.

“I will immediately send a message to the capital. Please wait a moment!”

Such significant news was a thorny issue for the white-robed sorcerer, who was responsible for overseeing the supernatural affairs of a region, and he had to report to the capital. It was unclear what method he used, but in just half an hour, the white-robed sorcerer returned.

“They are now aware of the matter and has dispatched four first-rank Demon-Suppressing Masters Ma Wa Chen Ming to Lijiang County.” (TLN: Surnames of 4 people.)

“They are expected to arrive around the third watch tonight. Please rest for now, and once the four Demon-Suppressing Masters arrive, we will ask you to lead the way.”

The situation was extremely urgent, and the reaction of the Imperial Astronomical Bureau was more intense and rapid than Li Muyang had imagined.

Throughout the process, Li Muyang observed the white-robed sorcerer.

It wasn’t until after the other party had finished acting out the scene that Li Muyang saved the game.

Then, he launched an attack on the white-robed sorcerer.

On the surface, this sorcerer appeared no different from an ordinary person, showing no signs of abnormality.

However, as Li Muyang activated the Dharma-Annihilation Wheel, a long, ghastly face suddenly emerged behind the white-robed sorcerer.

The sharp, pale face seemed to be crying.

The moment it appeared, it blocked Li Muyang’s surprise attack.

The sound of mournful crying echoed.

The attacked white-robed sorcerer, as well as Fairy Liuli at his side, were both greatly surprised. They had not anticipated Li Muyang’s sudden attack.

In contrast, the sharp, pale face wailed crazily at Li Muyang, “It’s a relative! You’re from Black Cloud Village!”

The next second, the ghastly face with its long neck rose from behind the white-robed sorcerer’s head and lunged at Li Muyang, agitated and frenzied.

Li Muyang’s scalp tingled, and in an instant, he was struck by the ghastly face.

【You died. Game Over】

“…What the hell.”

Inside the inn, Li Muyang opened his eyes, still shaken.

Although he had suspected the white-robed sorcerer was not normal, he hadn’t expected such a bizarre entity.

The face that rose from behind Bai Feiran, the white-robed sorcerer, was one Li Muyang recognized.

In 《Deadly Weed》, the face belonged to a low-level demon cultivator from Black Cloud Village who practiced with the Temple Seal Lord and others in the cave.

Damn it!

What on earth are the Temple Seal Lord and his gang researching?

Why did that thing recognize me?

I’m not using Jiang Xiaoyu’s character card!
