Having roughly understood the situation from his little sister and Guan Xiaoshun, Li Muyang slowly nodded.
“Anyway, we’ll continue to stay here. If we’re not allowed out, then we won’t go out.”
“It’s so dangerous outside, it’s quite nice for us to stay here.”
A mysterious and unpredictable demonic cultivator in Demon Sword City?
Only killing inner disciples above the Foundation Establishment stage?
The scope of this murderer’s killings felt somewhat familiar.
It couldn’t be the same mysterious demonic cultivator who had been killing people in Yunxiao City, now following them to Demon Sword City…
Although the personnel movements of the Demon Refining Sect were very secretive, the sight of mobilizing ninety percent of inner disciples at once was hard to keep completely silent, even for the Demonic Sect.
That mysterious murderer had gone on a killing spree in Yunxiao City and then disappeared without a trace, thought to have left.
Now, following the Demonic Sect’s main force to Demon Sword City and killing seventeen inner disciples… could this person have been lurking near the Demonic Sect all along?Although unfamiliar, Li Muyang had to give this mysterious demonic cultivator a thumbs up.
What audacity!
On the Demon Refining Sect’s territory, with all the elders and even the Sect Leader out in full force, this mysterious cultivator dared to kill within the city…
He had seen people courting death, but never to this extent.
Indeed, the demonic path is full of ruthless individuals.
Li Muyang marveled at the audacity of the mysterious demonic cultivator and inquired about the details of the killings.
Indeed, it was similar to the one in Yunxiao City, only targeting cultivators of the Foundation Establishment Realm and the Golden Core stage.
The group of outer disciples in the city speculated that the sect wasn’t searching for the missing Yan Xiaoru but something more important.
After all, for just one Yan Xiaoru, it was impossible to mobilize such a large force and stay in Demon Sword City for four long months.
This was obvious to any discerning person.
Ninety percent of the Demonic Sect’s inner disciples, all elders out in full force… Even if the Sect Leader of the Demon Refining Sect died, there wouldn’t be such a grand mobilization.
As for what they were searching for, these outer disciples weren’t high-ranking enough to know.
As for the mysterious demonic cultivator coming to Demon Sword City and killing seventeen people, it was probably to interrogate and find out what the Demonic Sect was really looking for.
Whether they found out or not…
Guan Xiaoshun sighed softly about this matter, curious.
Li Muyang clicked his tongue, smiled, and said nothing.
He knew that the Demonic Sect elders were looking for the immortal sword, but regardless of whether the mysterious demonic cultivator had interrogated anyone about the immortal sword, the others in the city were doomed not to find the Startling Swan Immortal Sword.
Even if someone was incredibly lucky and stumbled upon the entrance to the secret realm and successfully entered Fairy Yu’s resting place, they wouldn’t be able to find the Startling Swan Immortal Sword buried beneath the secret realm.
After the dust settled, that sword was already taken away by Li Muyang alone.
Only when Li Muyang had enough cultivation and trump cards to step into the limelight would the Startling Swan Immortal Sword reappear.
Unless he faced an unavoidable crisis of certain death, Li Muyang wouldn’t take out the immortal sword.
His goal was to consider revealing the Startling Swan Immortal Sword after reaching the Divine Travel Realm.
An immortal-grade immortal sword was quite attractive in this age of declining dharma.
The principle that an innocent man is in trouble because he possesses a treasure, Li Muyang understood very well.
Before having enough ability to protect himself, if the news of the Startling Swan Immortal Sword in his hands were to spread, the immortal sword would become his death warrant.
After chatting with his little sister for a long time, Li Muyang ended the conversation for the evening and, together with Guan Xiaoshun, escorted Li Yuechan to the door.
Afterward, the two closed the courtyard door, planning to rest.
Li Muyang wasn’t in a hurry to play games. He wanted to observe the situation in the city.
He and Yan Xiaoru had come out of the secret realm together.
Would the other elders or the Sect Leader send someone to inquire about the news of the secret realm?
After all, Li Muyang and Yan Xiaoru were the last witnesses to the whereabouts of the immortal sword.
Now that Yan Xiaoru was in seclusion for healing, the elders should be interested in Li Muyang… right?
With some trepidation, Li Muyang waited for the arrival of visitors.
……
However, as time passed, one day, two days, three days… Li Muyang, who kept a low profile and declined all social activities, waited at home for five days.
He even prepared several brilliant and logical sets of rhetoric in his mind, ensuring he could handle any inquiry.
But apart from the enthusiastic outer disciples around, no one came looking for him…
Not to mention the Demonic Sect’s Sect Leader or elders, not even a single direct disciple came to talk to Li Muyang.
Completely ignored, Li Muyang was momentarily baffled.
After a long reflection, Li Muyang finally realized the reason.
Sitting in the courtyard with snowflakes falling, he let out a wry smile.
“It seems I’ve overestimated my own importance…”
No one came looking for him for one simple reason.
Just a minor outer disciple, Li Muyang was too insignificant for those big figures of the Demonic Sect.
On the night when he helped Yan Xiaoru return, the big figures present ignored Li Muyang, treating him as if he were thin air.
It wasn’t an act. It was simply the natural behavior of those important figures.
This world was different from his previous life.
In his past life, even the most illustrious figures were mere flesh and blood, and even kings and generals, when faced with the fury of a common man, could be slain where they stood.
But here in the world of cultivation, the difference between top demon cultivators and ordinary people was greater than that between humans and ants.
Those high and mighty demon cultivators, who could burn mountains and boil seas with a flick of their wrist, naturally ignored a Qi Refining Realm nobody like Li Muyang.
Those elders wouldn’t even remember Li Muyang’s name.
Understanding this, Li Muyang let out a sigh of relief. “This is probably just scaring myself, a battle of wits with the air…”
He had thought that upon his return, he would be bombarded with various inquiries, probing questions, and troubles, so he had waited nervously for several days.
But in the end, he realized that no one cared about a small fry like Li Muyang.
Fully grasping this, Li Muyang felt a weight lift off his shoulders.
He stood in the courtyard, laughing heartily three times, then carefreely opened the door to his house and went back to sleep.
Game With the Fairies, start!
The long-stalled game progress was resumed.
System, start!
Li Muyang opened his eyes and stepped into the murderous Nanjiang City.
The mountainous demon-transformed half-demon general Luo Feng was on a killing spree within the city walls.
Fierce demons and half-demons, as well as the human cultivators in the city, were embroiled in chaos.
Powerless commoners scurried for cover, wailing in terror.
Amidst the chaos, Li Muyang’s figure dashed through, heading straight for the Soul Drowning Lake in the city.
Ten minutes later, the waters of Soul Drowning Lake rose, and the Ink Fairy broke free from its seal.
The underwater BOSS Green-Haired Behemoth, which had killed Li Muyang countless times before, was easily slain by him.
He aimed for a speedrun.
Cultivation secrets, here I come!!!
Li Muyang’s eyes sparkled with excitement.
After so much back and forth, it was time he got his own cultivation manual!
