Li Muyang, having gained a general understanding of the situation from his younger sister and Guan Xiaoshun, slowly nodded.
“In any case, we should continue staying in Wamu Alley. If we shouldn’t go out, then we won’t go out.”
“It’s so dangerous outside, it’s quite nice to stay here.”
A mysterious demon cultivator in Demon Sword City who only kills Inner Sect Disciples above the Foundation Establishment Stage?
The range of this killer’s victims, it feels somewhat familiar.
It couldn’t be the same mysterious demon cultivator who committed murders in Yunxiao City now following us to Demon Sword City…
Although the personnel movements of the Demon Refining Sect are very secretive, the scene of suddenly dispatching ninety percent of the Inner Sect Disciples cannot be completely concealed without any noise leaking out.
The mysterious murderer had previously gone on a killing spree in Yunxiao City and then disappeared, I thought that fellow had already left.
Now, he has followed the major troop of the Demon Sect to Demon Sword City and killed seventeen Inner Sect Disciples… Could this guy have been lurking near the Demon Sect all along?
While not acquainted, Li Muyang had to give this mysterious demon cultivator a thumbs up.
What is called audacity!
On the Demon Refining Sect’s territory, with all the elders and even the Sect Master turned out in full force, this mysterious demon cultivator still dares to kill within the city… I’ve seen reckless, but never this reckless.
Indeed, the Demon Path is full of ruthless people.
Li Muyang marveled at the audacity of that mysterious demon cultivator and inquired further about the details of the killings.
Indeed, it was similar to that person in Yunxiao City, only targeting cultivators of the Foundation Establishment and Core Formation Realms.
The group of Outer Sect Disciples in Wamu Alley speculated, suspecting that the Sect was not looking for the missing Yan Xiaoru, but something much more important.
After all, for a Yan Xiaoru, it wouldn’t make sense to deploy such a massive force and stay in Demon Sword City for four months.
That was clear to any discerning eye.
Ninety percent of the Demon Sect’s Inner Sect Disciples, all the elders turned out… The death of the Sect Master of the Demon Refining Sect wouldn’t even warrant such a large-scale operation.
As for what they were searching for, these Outer Sect Disciples weren’t privy to that information due to their rank.
As for the mysterious demon cultivator coming to Demon Sword City and killing seventeen people, he probably wanted to torture out what the Demon Sect was actually looking for.
Whether he managed to extract that information remains unknown…
Guan Xiaoshun softly sighed about this matter, somewhat curious.
Li Muyang clicked his tongue, smiled and said nothing.
He knew that the elders of the Demon Sect were looking for the Immortal Sword, but regardless of whether the mysterious demon cultivator tortured out the information about the Immortal Sword, the other people in the city were destined not to find the Startling Swan Immortal Sword.
Even if someone was incredibly lucky to stumble upon the entrance to the secret realm and successfully entered the resting place of the Fairy Jade.
They would still be unlikely to find the Startling Swan Immortal Sword buried beneath the secret realm.
That sword would ultimately be taken solely by Li Muyang after the dust settles.
Only when Li Muyang had sufficient cultivation and resources to come forth would the Startling Swan Immortal Sword reappear in the world.
Unless faced with an inescapable crisis, Li Muyang would not unveil the Immortal Sword.
His aim was to consider revealing the Startling Swan Immortal Sword after reaching the Spirit Travel Realm.
An Immortal Sword of Immortal Artifact grade was incredibly enticing in this Dharma-Ending Age.
The principle that possession of treasure invites trouble, Li Muyang understood very well.
Until he had enough power to protect himself, news of the Startling Swan Immortal Sword in his possession would transform it into a Death Sentence.
After chatting for a long time with his younger sister, it was only then that Li Muyang ended tonight’s discussion and, together with Guan Xiaoshun, escorted Li Yuechan to the door.
Subsequently, the two closed the courtyard door intending to rest.
Li Muyang wasn’t in a hurry to play “The Game with the Fairies”; he wanted to observe the situation in the city.
He and Yan Xiaoru had come out from the secret realm, would the other elders or the Sect Master send someone to inquire about the news inside the secret realm from him?
After all, Li Muyang and Yan Xiaoru were the last to witness the whereabouts of the Immortal Sword.
By now, Yan Xiaoru was in secluded healing, and the Elders should be interested in Li Muyang… right?
Li Muyang, with a bit of trepidation, waited for the visitors to arrive.
However, as the days passed, one day, two days, three days… Li Muyang, who lived a reclusive life, had almost declined all social activities and stayed at home for five days.
He had even crafted several brilliant and logically sound speeches in his mind, ensuring he could handle any inquiry smoothly.
But apart from the enthusiastic Outer Sect disciples from Wamu Lane, no one else came looking for him.
Let alone the Sect Master of the Demon Refining Sect or the Elders, not even a Direct Disciple came to speak with Li Muyang.
Being utterly neglected, Li Muyang was somewhat dazed for a moment.
Finally, after a long period of reflection, Li Muyang came to his senses.
He sat in the courtyard, where snowflakes were falling, and let out a bitter laugh.
“I think I’ve overestimated my own importance…”
The reason nobody came to see him was simple.
To those big shots in the Demon Refining Sect, Li Muyang, a mere Outer Sect Disciple, was too insignificant.
The night he helped Yan Xiaoru back to reality, the big shots present ignored Li Muyang and treated him like air; it wasn’t an act but a natural behavior for those people.
This world was different from his previous life.
In his previous life, even the most illustrious figures were mere mortals. Even kings and generals, when enraged, could splatter blood five steps around.
But this was the Cultivation World. The difference between top Demon Cultivators and ordinary people was greater than that between humans and ants.
It was only natural for those high and mighty Demon Lords, who could burn mountains and boil seas, to overlook a Qi Refining stage weakling.
Those Elders probably wouldn’t even remember Li Muyang’s name.
Realizing this, Li Muyang breathed a sigh of relief.
“This was probably just scaring myself, trying to outwit the air…”
He had thought that upon returning, he would face a continuous string of inquiries, sweet talk, and troubles, so Li Muyang tensely waited for days.
But in the end, he realized that no one really cared about a small figure like Li Muyang.
Having fully understood this, Li Muyang suddenly felt relieved.
He stood in the courtyard and laughed heartily three times, then carefreely opened the door and continued to sleep.
The Game with the Fairies, commence!
The long-halted game progress started again.
System, boot up!
Li Muyang opened his eyes and stepped into the fiercely chaotic Nanjiang City.
The mountainous, demonized half-demon general, Luo Feng, was slaughtering wildly within the city.
Fierce-looking demons and half-demons, as well as Human Race cultivators in the city, were locked in chaotic combat.
Powerless mortals ran for their lives and wailed continuously.
In the midst of this chaos, Li Muyang’s figure dashed swiftly, heading straight for Drowning Soul Lake in the city.
Ten minutes later, the waters of Drowning Soul Lake rose, and the Ink Fairy broke free from her seal.
The underwater BOSS, Green-furred Bunyip, who had killed Li Muyang countless times, was easily slain by Li Muyang.
Aiming for a quick run.
Cultivation secrets, here I come!
Li Muyang’s eyes were filled with excitement.
After so much back and forth, it was time he had his own cultivation secrets!
