The Game with Fairies

In the tranquility of the tent, the air was still.

The two gently embraced each other, with Li Muyang’s hands playfully moving around the woman’s waist, teasing her heartstrings.

But seeing that the woman did not dodge or resist as usual and hearing the soft sigh from her embrace, Li Muyang’s hands suddenly stilled.

He sensed something and no longer continued his teasing. Instead, he embraced the woman in his arms, quietly feeling her warm heartbeat without making a sound.

The two held each other gently, breathing in each other’s scent, falling into a brief moment of tenderness.

Until the sound of hurried footsteps outside the tent broke the gentle quietude within.

“Elder Yan! Something’s happened!”

The footsteps of the young Cheng Feiyang approached rapidly, his tone unusually agitated.

Hearing these footsteps, Yan Xiaoru instinctively broke free from the embrace and sat up straight.

She emotionlessly adjusted her dress and hair while looking outside.

The tent flap at the entrance hung down, blocking the view inside and out.

The gloomy daylight cast Cheng Feiyang’s silhouette on the fabric.

Yet without Yan Xiaoru’s permission to enter, this thin curtain seemed like an insurmountable barrier, with Cheng Feiyang’s figure remaining outside the tent.

He respectfully called into the tent, “The group of Blood Lotus Sect demons at the foot of the hill has started to break camp and leave.”

“But another group of Blood Lotus Sect demons has arrived from the west, and these new followers of the Blood Lotus Sect…”

Cheng Feiyang hesitated for a moment, seemingly considering how to phrase his words.

After two seconds of silence, he still couldn’t provide an appropriate description, only saying, “…these new followers of the Blood Lotus Sect are somewhat strange.”

Hearing Cheng Feiyang’s report, the two inside the tent furrowed their brows.

“Oh? Strange?” Yan Xiaoru looked at Li Muyang, their eyes meeting as they both stood up.

“Let’s go take a look.”

Yan Xiaoru was the first to walk out of the tent, with Li Muyang respectfully following half a step behind her, humble and steady.

In the eyes of others, he showed no signs of arrogance from his recent achievements, always treating Yan Xiaoru with utmost respect.

Led by Cheng Feiyang, Yan Xiaoru and Li Muyang came to the edge of the hill.

Standing on the steep cliff, they looked down at the military camp at the foot of the hill.

The Blood Lotus Sect demons, who had besieged them for twelve days, were indeed packing up and preparing to leave.

After attacking and besieging Li Muyang and the others for twelve days, these Blood Lotus Sect demons seemed to be giving up.

They left so directly that no one even looked back at the hill.

The flag representing the identity of the 【True Lord Sword Fire of Solitude】, the Helmsman of Qinfeng Hall, led the way, soon making contact with the incoming Blood Lotus Sect troops from the west.

After a brief conversation, the two groups separated.

The flag of the 【True Lord Sword Fire of Solitude】 continued towards the direction of Tianjiao City.

While the flag of the 【True Person of the Caged Dragon】, leading a continuous stream of Blood Lotus Sect followers, took over the military formation at the foot of Pingyang Hill from the Qinfeng Hall followers.

“True Person of the Caged Dragon…”

Yan Xiaoru looked at the flag fluttering below, her brows slightly furrowed: “I remember this is the Helmsman of the Blood Lotus Sect’s Liehai Hall, named Xie Shanhai.”

As an enforcement elder, Yan Xiaoru had a far greater understanding of the world’s top combatants than Li Muyang.

She recognized the identity represented by this flag.

“The active range of Liehai Hall is very far from the Demon Refining Sect, with almost no contact.”

“But it is said that this person is extreme and temperamental, a cruel and violent fanatic, whose actions are even more brutal than many demonic cultivators.”

Looking down at the Blood Lotus Sect followers who had taken over the encirclement at the foot of the hill, Yan Xiaoru’s expression was grave.

“I didn’t expect that not only does Xie Shanhai have a bad reputation, but even his followers are so peculiar…”

Under the gloomy sky, the Blood Lotus Sect demons surrounding Pingyang Hill, who had replaced the original followers, were indeed “demons” in the literal sense.

The Blood Lotus Sect followers that Li Muyang and the others had seen before all looked like normal people.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

However, the followers brought by Xie Shanhai were all grotesque and ferocious in appearance.

They wore red headbands and armor, still maintaining human forms. But many parts of their bodies showed clear signs of demonic transformation.

Some were covered in scales, some had arms that were beastly claws, and others had faces replaced with those of beasts… At least one organ on the bodies of these Blood Lotus Sect followers at the foot of the hill had been replaced with that of a demonic creature.

From afar, looking down at the foot of the hill, it was like a gathering of demons causing chaos in the human world, more like a horde of little demons from the mountains running amok among people.

The demonic cultivators on Pingyang Hill all rushed to the edge of the cliff, looking down at the changes in their enemies below, pointing and frowning in disapproval.

A thick demonic aura rose from the military camp below.

This new group of enemies was visibly difficult to deal with.

And among the crowd, Li Muyang, the more he observed, the more astonished he became.

Because the more he looked, the more he realized that the new enemies at the foot of the hill… weren’t they practicing the same cultivation method as the Blood Demon Sect?

The Blood Demon Sect of the Heavenly Origin Dynasty practiced a demonic cultivation method that Li Muyang had never seen before.

Those demonic cultivators of the Blood Demon Sect would, as their cultivation deepened, continuously replace their organs with those of demonic beasts, using this extreme and heretical method to rapidly increase their combat power.

The stronger the cultivation, the more body parts were replaced and the less human they looked.

In the mystery of the Loushan City beginner’s tutorial, Li Muyang and Fairy Liuli encountered a group of Blood Demon Sect demons that were all deformed.

Li Muyang had not expected that there would also be people practicing the same method as the Blood Demon Sect on the continent opposite the Heavenly Origin Dynasty.

Could it be…

Li Muyang immediately exited the system interface’s chat group and began to send messages.

He was certain that the Heavenly Origin Dynasty and this continent were not connected.

If there had to be any connection between them, it would only be this chat group.

Someone in the chat group, suspected to be from the Heavenly Origin Dynasty and a high-ranking member of the Blood Demon Sect, had even offered a bounty for Master Qingye’s head in the group—using the Blood Demon Sect’s cultivation method.

Li Muyang began to flood the chat group with messages.

【Blue Star III: Heart Star VI, are you a high-ranking member of the Blood Demon Sect in the Heavenly Origin Dynasty?】

Li Muyang repeatedly sent this message in the chat group.

Soon, the chat group began to buzz.

The avatar of Heart Star VI lit up.

【Heart Star VI: ???】

Heart Star VI was clearly shocked.

【Heart Star VI: Blue Star III… you’ve been investigating me in secret?】

【Heart Star VI: We had no grudges in the past and no conflicts recently. With so many people in the organization… why target me?】

【Heart Star VI: Could it be that you are a disciple of the Mystic Sword Sect?】

On the southeastern plains of the Heavenly Origin Continent, a woman resting in a military camp suddenly woke up with cold sweat dripping from her forehead.

The speculation that arose in her mind startled her.

That enigmatic Blue Star III… could he possibly be a disciple of the Mystic Sword Sect?

Otherwise, how would he know I am a high-ranking member of the Blood Demon Sect?

Damn it!

The previously content Heart Star VI, who had been taking a nap, was now thrown into a panic.
