The Game with Fairies

Chapter 171

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?”

Li Muyang’s words were provocative, and he was ready to unleash his skills at any moment.

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.

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.
