The Game with Fairies

The situation suddenly turned eerie and unsettling.

Just a second ago, the old general was chatting and reminiscing, but in the next moment, he seemed to become an empty shell, standing rigidly in place with a vacant look in his eyes.

Strange noises emanated from behind him and beneath his feet.

A strong malice drifted over with the mountain wind.

The scene was incredibly horrifying.

But Li Muyang, looking at the old man in front of him, just spat disdainfully, showing no fear.

“A pair of evil spirits playing tricks, why are you pretending to be the big bad wolf?”

“Come out if you dare, let me see your true ghostly nature!”

“Are you afraid to show yourselves in the sunlight?”

Wuming’s character card came from tutorial, and his skill set was almost like cheating.

He wasn’t afraid of enemies. He was afraid they wouldn’t show themselves!

As long as you have a health bar, I’ll show you the wrath of the evil gods!

Under the sunlight, Li Muyang stared intently at the old man in front of him.

But from the grass beside the road, the crying of another child could be heard.

“Mystic Sword Sect… I hate the Mystic Sword Sect…”

Not far away, on a roadside fir tree, the canopy shook, and the tired coughing of an old man could be heard.

“This kid isn’t from the Mystic Sword Sect… but the scent on him is even more detestable…”

Following that, the laughter of a young woman, the curses of an old woman, the provocations of a reckless strong man, and the sighs of a calm monk… More and more voices appeared around Li Muyang and Fairy Liuli.

It seemed as if the wilderness they were in had been silently surrounded by an endless stream of people.

Fairy Liuli was full of doubt and confusion, while Li Muyang’s brow furrowed deeply.

The voices became more numerous, but there were no health bars in sight.

The only thing that changed was the old general standing rigidly in place, who had become like an empty husk.

The health bar above his head had turned a hostile blood-red.

And the length of the health bar had suddenly increased by several tens of times.

Seeing this, Li Muyang didn’t hesitate and launched his skill directly at the old general.

Hidden Sword in the Belly!

A cold light was spat out by Li Muyang, piercing through the void and striking the old man.

The old man’s body trembled, but no damage numbers floated above his head.

This was a sign of an instant death trigger.

However, the surroundings didn’t quiet down. Those voices still persisted.

Only the clamoring and crying voice of a child suddenly disappeared.

At the same time, the red health bar above the old man’s head seemed to shorten a bit.

Li Muyang blinked as if he understood something.

“Are there dozens or even hundreds of evil creatures parasitizing inside the old general?”

In the next second, the world on the desolate mountain path twisted.

The noisy voices suddenly became extremely intense.

Li Muyang had killed one of their kind, enraging the group of evil creatures.

“Kill him!”

“Revenge! Revenge!”

Amid the shrill and angry howls of the evil creatures, Li Muyang faintly heard a weak old man’s voice struggling to shout.

“Run away!”

“In my study at home…”

“Inside the secret compartment…”

“Run away!”

The old man’s voice was extremely weak as he struggled to shout.

But among the dozens or hundreds of noisy and piercing angry voices around, the old man’s voice was quickly drowned out.

Fairy Liuli was filled with uncertainty.

“It seems that the old general is trying to say something…”

She hadn’t heard clearly what the old man had said. The voices of the evil creatures were too loud, completely overshadowing the old general’s cries.

To tell the truth, Li Muyang hadn’t heard clearly either.

But the system gave him a hint.

【Main Quest: Escape from Ancient Grudge Well, return to the human world, and find the notes in the study of Zong Daoyuan】

“The old general wants us to go back to the human world and find the notes he left in his study!”

As Li Muyang spoke, he immediately gave up resisting and started running with Fairy Liuli.

There were too many evil creatures, and the instant death flying sword instantly lost its effect.

Constable Wuming, who had the instant death skill, was most afraid of encountering enemies with multiple lives.

And since the system was already telling him to run… clearly, they were no match!

Fairy Liuli was just a moment slow to run and was shredded by the twisting space around her, bursting into a spray of blood.

“What the hell…”

Seeing Fairy Liuli die, Li Muyang also gave up running.

【You died. Game Over】

The moment the failure popup appeared, Li Muyang skillfully switched to the load game screen.

Restart!

……

Chu Qingxue, wielding the Liuli Immortal Sword, was instantly killed facing this group of strange and evil creatures… Could it be that this old general had also transformed into an existence on the level of an evil god?

Not to mention anything else, his terrifying appearance filled with evil creatures was quite sanity-draining.

Li Muyang once again entered the game, completing the dialogue scene with the old man alongside Fairy Liuli.

At the moment when the group of evil creatures appeared, this time Li Muyang didn’t hesitate for a second, pulling Chu Qingxue and running away immediately.

The two evil creatures that first emerged were still talking, but Li Muyang had already run ten zhang away.

The voice that was originally sneering and trying to provoke suddenly paused.

“…What is this guy? How could he run so fast?”

In the sunlight, Li Muyang was holding Fairy Liuli’s hand and running at full speed.

Fairy Liuli hadn’t even reacted before the two of them started to flee.

The noisy voices behind them were getting closer and closer, but Fairy Liuli was still somewhat dazed.

“Lord Wuming, we…”

What are we running from?

Li Muyang, without looking back, said, “Run! We must hurry back to the mortal world!”

“General Zhong said he left notes in a secret compartment in his study and told us to find them!”

As Li Muyang spoke, he ran even faster.

Chu Qingxue subconsciously quickened her pace, following behind Li Muyang, her eyes still somewhat confused.

“Ah? General Zhong said that?”

When did that happen? How come I didn’t hear it?

Fairy Liuli was a bit bewildered.

Meanwhile, the noisy voices behind them kept chasing, drawing nearer.

In a daze, she seemed to hear General Zhong’s faint voice amidst the shrill howls of those evil creatures.

Although it wasn’t very clear, it did seem like they were being told to find something…

……

The setting sun’s afterglow spilled over the streets and alleys of Tianjiao City.

Back in the inn room, after yet another game failure, Li Muyang was bounced back to reality, somewhat speechless.

“Dead again.”

These evil creatures are like sticky candy, impossible to shake off.

He and Fairy Liuli were already running as fast as they could, but they would always be caught by those evil creatures using some strange methods.

Once caught, it would end in instant death.

A perfectly good cultivation game turned into a temple run at the final stage.

All Li Muyang and Fairy Liuli needed to do was run, just keep running forward.

After failing over a dozen times, Li Muyang was quite frustrated.

With nightfall approaching, he quit the game in annoyance and left the inn.

“Let’s go to the prison to interrogate that young valley master.”

Li Muyang clicked his tongue in displeasure.

That young valley master from Chaotic Souls Valley had been tormented by them for many days.

Regardless of the case, they sent a few inner disciples every night to interrogate and torture her, and tonight was Li Muyang’s turn to be on duty.

That crazy woman from Chaotic Souls Valley, without saying anything else, turned out to be quite tough.

After being tortured for so many days, she was still able to curse people every day, her mouth venomous and cunning, not showing any weakness.

The last time Li Muyang tortured her, this crazy woman was spewing filth nonstop, threatening to kill Li Muyang’s entire family, to sell the women of Li Muyang’s family to brothels and so on.

Although she was just barkinh, Li Muyang still felt disgusted after hearing such vile words.

He had borrowed a set of the latest torture devices from Ning Wan’er.

Tonight was the perfect opportunity to test the strength of this crazy woman’s mouth.
