YM778.TV Chapter 91
【Shape-Shifter Master: Fairy Yu sacrificed so much to protect the beings of Nanjiang City, yet in the end, she was misunderstood and met a lonely demise here. How tragic and lamentable…】
The Shape-Shifter Master’s expression was complex, his demeanor indignant.
Clearly, the fall of Fairy Yu had left him feeling resentful towards the ways of the world.
Li Muyang, on the other hand, wasn’t as emotional.
He surveyed the fairyland before him, where misty clouds wound through the mountains, exuding an aura of immortality. The mountains and green waters complemented each other, truly a blessed land of the immortals, a heavenly grotto.
Having been in the world of cultivators for so long, this was the first time Li Muyang had seen such an ethereal and mystical realm, fulfilling all his imaginations of the abode of immortals.
From this, it could be inferred that Fairy Yu was probably a cultivator with a high sense of aesthetics… perhaps even a true immortal.
In the mythological era, there were indeed immortals who walked the earth.Holding the head of the Shape-Shifter Master, Li Muyang looked towards the tomb in front of him, not approaching rashly.
“Should I just go and take the sword?” Li Muyang asked the Shape-Shifter Master.
According to the conventions of RPG games, at times like this, a guardian BOSS would surely appear if you went forward and Li Muyang would have to fight it for three hundred rounds before he could claim the Startling Swan Immortal Sword.
Li Muyang was on guard for any hidden BOSS within the secret realm.
【Shape-Shifter Master: Just go and take the sword. The immortal sword has a spirit, but after all, it’s just a sword. You just need to protect yourself and not be harmed by the sword qi.】
【Shape-Shifter Master: Fairy Yu is dead, and now the Startling Swan Immortal Sword has no one to wield it, so it’s not to be feared.】
The words of the Shape-Shifter Master gave Li Muyang confidence.
He walked straight forward, his fingers closed around the hilt of the immortal sword at Fairy Yu’s tomb.
The next instant… Nothing happened.
Li Muyang easily grasped the immortal sword and drew it out.
The Startling Swan Immortal Sword was even more docile in his hand than he had imagined.
Li Muyang was greatly shocked.
“Ah? That easy?”
Feeling the Startling Swan Immortal Sword in his hand, Li Muyang looked around suspiciously, half-expecting a guardian BOSS to jump out and ambush him at any second.
However, after standing in front of the tomb for a while with the Startling Swan Immortal Sword in hand, the secret realm remained silent, with no sign of the anticipated BOSS.
At this moment, Li Muyang was convinced that he had safely obtained the Startling Swan Immortal Sword.
【Shape-Shifter Master: Now that the Startling Swan Immortal Sword is in hand, let’s go back and find Luo Feng.】
【Shape-Shifter Master: The city is in chaos, now is the perfect time to act!】
Li Muyang was curious: “Act on what? What do you and Luo Feng plan to do with the Startling Swan Immortal Sword?”
Although there had been an agreement with Luo Feng during the search for the immortal sword, that after obtaining it, he would lend it to him to kill a few people, Li Muyang was curious about who exactly Luo Feng wanted to kill and what agreement Luo Feng had reached with the Shape-Shifter Master that made the latter change his attitude and agree to help.
However, after Li Muyang asked, the head of the Shape-Shifter Master just snorted coldly.
【Shape-Shifter Master: This matter is none of your concern! In any case, according to the agreement with Luo Feng, after he uses the sword to kill, the immortal sword will be returned to you.】
Li Muyang and the Shape-Shifter Master left the ethereal secret realm and returned to Nanjiang City.
At this time, Nanjiang City was ablaze with fire and noise.
The blood-red sunset hung in the sky, its cold, penetrating blood light engulfing the entire world.
Under the glow of this blood-colored sunset, the entire Nanjiang City seemed to have fallen into a blood hell, with an ominous aura reaching the heavens.
Smoke from the battles rose continuously in the city, and one building after another was set ablaze.
Before the curse, the streets and buildings of Nanjiang City were merely mundane and easily destroyed.
Li Muyang, holding the head of the Shape-Shifter Master in his left hand and dragging the Startling Swan Immortal Sword in his right, appeared on the streets of Nanjiang City.
However, upon returning to the streets, he saw a figure standing quietly in the middle of the road ahead.
A hunched figure, dressed in simple hemp clothes, with a black cloth band wound around her head forming a black ring…
The oddly dressed Granny Gu was blocking Li Muyang’s path.
For some reason, Li Muyang felt a sudden shock in his heart the moment he saw Granny Gu.
It was a chilling sensation as if a mouse had seen a cat, as if he had encountered a natural predator.
Jiang Xiaoyu was from the ancient evil lineage of Black Cloud Village, and in the ‘Deadly Weed’ instance, he had even taken on a commission from Granny Gu… Now meeting Granny Gu in Nanjiang City, what would this mysterious old woman’s reaction be?
Li Muyang swallowed nervously, watching the old woman ahead with caution.
However, the expected reunion scene did not occur.
Granny Gu seemed not to recognize Li Muyang at all, her face indifferent.
【Granny Gu: Boy, who sent you? How did you manage to get the Startling Swan Immortal Sword?】
Granny Gu’s unfamiliar and cold inquiry surprised Li Muyang.
This mysterious Granny Gu didn’t recognize him?
Or rather… didn’t recognize Jiang Xiaoyu?
How strange…
Li Muyang saved his progress and then faced the mysterious old woman, saying,
“Granny Gu, don’t you remember me? I’m Jiang Xiaoyu.”
Li Muyang decided to remind the mysterious old woman, hoping to learn about the events that had occurred in Black Cloud Village from her.
However, Granny Gu looked at him coldly, frowning, “Jiang Xiaoyu?”
The old woman pondered for a moment and then said, “Which Jiang Xiaoyu are you?”
“Jiang Xiaoyu from Black Cloud Village!” Li Muyang spread his hands innocently.
With the ability to reload his progress, he wasn’t afraid of saying the wrong thing.
Li Muyang spilled the beans completely.
“Back then, you even asked me to help you kill Steward Wu. Don’t you remember?”
“At that time, I was in the village, practicing demonic arts with Steward Wu and the others. Later, I was responsible for taking care of Xiao Yecao’s daily life. Xiao Yecao was a lost soul, bought by Steward Wu and the others to be used as a blood cow, but Xiao Yecao was entangled by an ancient evil entity the Flesh and Bone Green Garment before entering the village.”
“It was me who went to the ancestral temple to ask for your help, and you personally took action to deal with the Flesh and Bone Green Garment.”
“Have you forgotten about this?”
Li Muyang looked earnestly as he recounted the events of the ‘Deadly Weed’ instance.
After he finished speaking, however, Granny Gu looked at him with a strange expression.
“You’re from the village? You practiced with the group of demonic cultivators under Temple Seal Lord?”
Granny Gu frowned and thought for a while as if she remembered something, but her expression became even more puzzled.
“Indeed, a soul-lost victim entangled by the Flesh and Bone Green Garment came to the village back then, but that little girl died quickly, and those demon cultivators from the Temple Seal Lord didn’t come to ask for my help.”
“However, the girl died in the hands of the Flesh and Bone Green Garment outside the village, and I took action to drive away the Flesh and Bone Green Garment.”
“As for you…”
Granny Gu frowned and sized up Li Muyang.
From the perspective of the game character, Li Muyang now bears the face of Jiang Xiaoyu.
Granny Gu pondered with a frown for a while, her expression suddenly turning grim.
“…I remember now!”
“Jiang Xiaoyu, who earlier was called Leng Aqi! You changed your own name before you died.”
Granny Gu looked at Li Muyang with a cold gaze, her tone chilling: “But you died hundreds of years ago… how did you come back to life after death?”
