The Game with Fairies

The cold and gloomy wind in the underground tunnel howled with the aura of blood and evil.

Elder Yan stood on the altar holding the formation flag, dressed in a purple robe, her expression indifferent, her gaze cold.

Li Muyang stood beside her with his head bowed, quietly observing his surroundings.

Li Muyang had always kept a respectful distance from the stunningly beautiful Elder Yan, not daring to look at her too much.

He was afraid she would notice his hidden strength and single him out from the crowd and expose his many secrets.

Today, however, he was so close to her, but the good news was that Elder Yan didn’t care about Li Muyang.

After all, he was just an outer disciple, no different from an ant in the eyes of such a high-ranking demonic elder.

It was already an immense favor for Elder Yan to glance at Li Muyang because of Ning Wan’er. How could she pay him more attention?

Even the other three direct disciples on the altar showed no interest in Li Muyang.

Being ignored was good… With so many secrets on him, he couldn’t let others discover them easily.

The lower the profile, the less presence, the better.

Li Muyang supported the unconscious Ning Wan’er, standing quietly behind the crowd, trying to reduce his own presence as much as possible.

Meanwhile, the purple light of the Soul Refining Formation continued to strike towards the tunnels where the demons were hiding.

The tremors in the depths of the tunnel grew stronger, and even the howls of the demons could be heard.

Sensing the demons’ desperate struggles, Elder Yan had a cold look in her eyes.

Seeing the situation ease, her three direct disciples began to sneer in conversation.

“Thinking they could ambush our master? These demons from Centipede Ridge are absolutely insane. Do they even know who our master is? Are they a match for her?”

“But this rebellion of the Centipede Ridge demons… it’s a bit strange. Even if they could succeed, how could they withstand the sect’s retaliation afterward? What are they plotting?” ř

“Hmm… Senior Sister, now that you mention it, what exactly are these demons plotting by turning against us at this moment?”

“It can’t possibly have something to do with that legend, can it?”

“Are you talking about the ancient demon sword? Could it be that the Centipede Ridge demons have grasped clues about the whereabouts of the demon sword? Do they want to control Demon Sword City and then search for the demon sword?”

“This should be the first time the demons have been invited into Demon Sword City…”

“Hiss… If that’s true, wouldn’t our master be picking up a huge merit for nothing? These demons have already been cornered by our master. As long as we capture them and interrogate them for clues about the demon sword, it would be an enormous contribution!”

The three direct disciples whispered among themselves, seemingly in good relations on the surface.

Elder Yan, whom they praised, however, had a cold expression and spoke indifferently.

“The ancient demon sword may not be a good thing. That sword slaughtered countless lives in Demon Sword City back in the day, the sword’s killing aura is too heavy.”

“The bloodstone mine underneath Demon Sword City, as well as the resentful spirits, are all remnants of that catastrophe.”

“Having caused such a massive karmic sin, the resentment of the dead in the city lingered, eventually forming bloodstones. That demon sword, having drunk its fill of living blood, would be extremely difficult to tame even if found. It’s not without a great cost…”

Elder Yan’s icy gaze was fixed on the depths of the tunnel as she said, “And these demons have been retreating all along, something’s not right.”

“With their cultivation, if they fought desperately, they might not lose to me.”

“But they keep retreating…”

Elder Yan’s brow furrowed slightly, sensing something amiss.

Suddenly, Li Muyang behind everyone was startled. Because in a moment of distraction, he heard that familiar sound of a sword’s hum.

The hum of the Startling Swan Immortal Sword…

This sound, which he had almost grown sick of hearing in the game, always followed with the frenzied attacks of the half-demon general Luo Feng, and if not avoided in time, would lead to instant death.

However, at this moment, the sound of a sword’s cry appeared in reality, and its direction was deep within the tunnel where the demons resided!

Li Muyang was momentarily stunned, a foreboding feeling suddenly rising in his heart.

–Could it be that the group of demons really unearthed the slumbering demonic sword?

After a dozen breaths, the sword’s cry sounded again.

The interval between the two sword cries was so close. It was evident that the demonic sword buried underground was indeed stirring.

But just then, from the direction Li Muyang and the others had come from, at the entrance of the underground tunnel, the sounds of slaughter suddenly erupted.

Dazzling light accompanied by the roar of magical weapons carved a path through the densely packed evil spirits in the tunnel.

It was none other than the lord of Demon Sword City, who had finally arrived with reinforcements.

Although the cultivation level of the lord of Demon Sword City was far inferior to Elder Yan Xiaoru, the combined forces of the Demon Sword City’s garrison were still a formidable power.

Now, with the garrison forming battle formations and their killing intent soaring to the skies, they advanced step by step through the tunnel filled with evil spirits.

The evil spirits howled and screamed but could not break through the murderous aura surrounding the formation.

Instead, the weapons of the garrison fell mercilessly, continuously reaping the residual souls within the tunnel.

Seeing the arrival of reinforcements, Elder Yan remained indifferent, simply giving a cold order.

“Cheng Feiyang, lead the disciples away and exit the underground tunnel first.”

As for herself and her three direct disciples, it was clear they intended to stay behind to deal with the demons in the tunnel.

They had no plans to leave.

Li Muyang stood behind Elder Yan and the three direct disciples, watching helplessly as his sister and Guan Xiaoshun, along with the other outer disciples, joined the ranks of those slaughtering the resentful spirits and slowly retreated with the Demon Sword City’s garrison.

He could only stay and stand on the ethereal altar…

Li Muyang suddenly panicked.

Because the demonic sword sleeping in the underground tunnel seemed to be awakening!

Seeing that Elder Yan made no mention of him as if she had forgotten him, and with the departure of the outer disciples nearly complete, Li Muyang could no longer hold back.

“Um… Elder Yan, may I first help Senior Sister Ning to leave and tend to her injuries?”

Li Muyang spoke up, but Elder Yan remained silent, not even glancing at Li Muyang.

Instead, one of the direct disciples glared at Li Muyang and said, “You are so troublesome. Junior Sister Ning is a direct disciple of our master. How can she leave so casually?”

“Now that the demons are cornered, we are just one step away from exterminating them.”

“If you take Junior Sister Ning away now, what if there are still demons hiding in the tunnel and they appear to take her hostage? How will you be responsible?”

“Staying by the side of our master is the safest!”

The direct disciple expressed disdain for Li Muyang’s foolishness.

However, just as the direct disciple finished speaking, a loud and clear sword cry suddenly came from deep within the underground tunnel.

This time, the sword’s cry was piercingly sharp, and nearly everyone present heard it.

“The… the demonic sword?!”

The three direct disciples on the altar were shocked, speculating about the source of the sword’s cry.

But in the next second, before they could sense it carefully, the tunnel depths were filled with the painful and mournful wails of the demons as well as the sound of sword qi cutting through them.

The demons, cornered by Elder Yan but still stubbornly resisting, had their life forces extinguished within a few breaths.

Everyone who sensed this commotion was taken aback.

And Li Muyang, standing behind the crowd, was dumbfounded.

He clearly felt a pure and extreme aura of immortal spirit rising from the ground.

And this aura was exactly the same as when he first obtained the Startling Swan Immortal Sword in the game, without a trace of demonic energy.

The Startling Swan Immortal Sword… returned to normal?

And it killed all the demons underground?

The next second, a dazzlingly brilliant sword qi of the immortal path shattered the darkness, slashing directly towards Elder Yan on the altar.

The immortal sword had a spirit, and after being awakened thousands of years later, it had indeed shed its demonic energy.

And it was slaughtering the demons!
