The Game with Fairies

Chapter 160



Li Muyang was still somewhat shaken.

The appearance of the pale face was too eerie, and in his moment of shock, he was instantly killed.

This really startled Li Muyang.

Something wasn’t right!

In 《The Call of the Mountains》, Li Muyang was using the character card 【Constable Wuming】, which had no connection to Jiang Xiaoyu.

How did that ghostly thing recognize Li Muyang as a relative?

And it specifically added ‘from Black Cloud Village’…

It was so strange!

Li Muyang reloaded the save and entered the game again.

He had a hunch that something was amiss, so this time he didn’t attack but instead persuaded Fairy Liuli to attack the white-robed sorcerer before he returned.

Fairy Liuli frowned at Li Muyang’s request and was reluctant to attack the white-robed sorcerer.

But the innocent fairy ultimately couldn’t resist Li Muyang’s smooth talk and was half-coaxed, half-deceived into launching an attack.

Fairy Liuli’s attack was just as sudden but not as ruthless as Li Muyang’s, leaving some leeway.

Even so, the face behind the white-robed sorcerer reacted promptly.

“It’s a relative! You’re from Black Cloud Village!”

The crying face shouted excitedly and lunged at Fairy Liuli.

Seeing this, Li Muyang confirmed his suspicion.

It wasn’t that the entity recognized his connection to Jiang Xiaoyu. Rather, it called anyone it saw as a relative from Black Cloud Village.

Damn it!

This thing was definitely related to the Temple Seal Lord and his demon cultivators.

After all, the villagers who followed the Temple Seal Lord to practice demon cultivation were later expelled from the village by Granny Gu and were no longer allowed to return.

Now, it had appeared inside the body of a sorcerer from the Imperial Astronomical Bureau, which was somewhat sinister and frightening.

Li Muyang had thought that the Demon-Suppressing Master of the Imperial Astronomical Bureau was only related to Black Cloud Village, but he hadn’t expected this additional discovery.

Li Muyang exited the game and reloaded the save.

In 《Deadly Weed》, the Temple Seal Lord and his foreign demon cultivators were hiding in the cave behind Black Cloud Village, busy with some unknown activities.

Li Muyang had been curious about how the evil lineage of Black Cloud Village could be possessed by anyone other than the descendants of Black Cloud Village.

Now it seemed likely that the Temple Seal Lord and his group had developed some technique that allowed ordinary people to acquire the power of the evil lineage.

Later, this technique was obtained by the Heavenly Origin Dynasty, which then created so many Demon-Suppressing Masters.

No wonder in the third stage of 《Deadly Weed》, Granny Gu suddenly turned against these demon cultivators.

Initially thought to be a group of demon cultivators hiding in the mountains to avoid disaster, it turned out they were after the Ancient Evil Lineage of Black Cloud Village.

It would be strange if Granny Gu could tolerate such a thing happening right under her nose.

“I didn’t expect playing 《The Call of the Mountains》 would actually link up with 《Deadly Weed》.” Li Muyang clicked his tongue.

This discovery was unexpected and answered his doubts from the third stage of 《Deadly Weed》.

Why did the peaceful coexistence between the village and the demon cultivators suddenly change, causing Granny Gu to become enemies with them?

It was probably because Granny Gu discovered the true intentions of these foreign demon cultivators.

After some thought, Li Muyang reloaded the save and entered the game again.

This time he peacefully followed the storyline without attacking the white-robed sorcerer, Bai Feiran.

The face that grew behind Bai Feiran’s head was once a villager of Black Cloud Village named Dazhu Gang, who later followed the Temple Seal Lord to practice demon cultivation, sharing the same identity as Jiang Xiaoyu.

But who would have thought that thousands of years later, after Black Cloud Village had perished, Dazhu Gang would become this ghostly figure, surviving within the body of a sorcerer from the Imperial Astronomical Bureau

—Well, “surviving” might not be quite accurate.

The state of the pale human face clearly showed it had lost its rational consciousness and transformed into some kind of special parasitic organism.

Li Muyang roughly understood the nature of the Demon-Suppressing Masters of the Imperial Astronomical Bureau.

They were hosting evil entities within their bodies, borrowing the power of those entities?

No wonder they could combat evil spirits. Both were of the same origin, and their power attributes were similar.

The Demon-Suppressing Masters of the Imperial Astronomical Bureau, relying on the power of evil entities to fight against evil spirits, indeed had a much greater advantage than cultivators.

Li Muyang returned to the game and followed the storyline peacefully, no longer attacking the white-robed sorcerer.

After Bai Feiran relayed the message back to the capital, Li Muyang and Fairy Liuli were arranged to rest in the city, waiting for the arrival of the four first-rank sorcerers.

After everyone had gathered, we went to search for the so-called 【Ancient Grudge Well】.

“Legend has it that during ancient times, there was a place where evil spirits dwelled, known as Black Cloud Village.”

Under the moonlight, Fairy Liuli sat on the eaves, her gaze deep as she looked at the myriad lights of Lijiang City.

Li Muyang stood not far away, his figure hidden in the darkness, listening to the fairy’s narration.

“The evil spirits that wander this world and the demons that torment all living beings, they all originate from Black Cloud Village.”

“Even the notorious evildoers from the Blood Demon Sect are said to hail from Black Cloud Village.”

“My master once said that it was the most terrifying and unpredictable forbidden zone for life during ancient times, harboring great horrors.”

During the wait, Fairy Liuli told Li Muyang about the origins of those strange and evil entities.

However, to Li Muyang, an “experiencer” himself, her words stirred complex emotions.

Black Cloud Village… a forbidden zone for life? Harboring great horrors?

Although Black Cloud Village was indeed a bit eerie, the terms she added seemed a bit off the mark.

The nearest mortal town to Black Cloud Village was only fifty li away.

Country peddlers would often come to Black Cloud Village to sell their wares, attracting a crowd of mischievous kids each time.

When Xiao Yecao was young, Li Muyang had often spent money at those country peddlers’ stalls.

If it weren’t for the many evil spirits suppressed under the ancestral temple and the scheming demon cultivators like the Temple Seal Lord, Black Cloud Village would seem like a peaceful haven, far removed from the hustle and bustle of the world.

But as with any legend, the stories tend to become more exaggerated as they spread.

Not to mention there was a period of blankness in human history after the dark ages.

Even Master Qingye, with his high cultivation, could only speculate about the conditions during ancient times based on clues from ancient texts.

Li Muyang did not correct Fairy Liuli’s mistakes but quietly listened to the fairy’s narration.

“…The Ancient Grudge Well is said to be the source of all evil spirits. It is rumored that the well is located near the once Black Cloud Village and all the evil spirits in the world have crawled out from it.”

“If the Ancient Grudge Well could be sealed, perhaps it would cleanse the world of evil spirits, protect the myriad living beings, and prevent them from being disturbed by evil entities.”

Under the moonlight, Fairy Liuli spoke softly of such matters.

In her eyes, a bright light flickered.

To strive for such a noble mission and to have the opportunity to fulfill such a grand aspiration filled Fairy Liuli with joy and anticipation, yet she was also uneasy.

Li Muyang glanced at her and asked, “If the Ancient Grudge Well is of such great importance, why not invite your master, Master Qingye, to come in person?”

“With his presence, it would surely be more secure, right?”

The path to true immortality for cultivators was severed after the dark ages.

Even the exalted ones of the Purple Mansion could hardly live beyond five hundred years.

That’s why this era is called a desperate age of the Dharma’s decline.

Yet Master Qingye has lived for over a thousand years…

Li Muyang was curious, could it be that beyond the sea of mist, in the Heavenly Origin Dynasty, a true immortal of the mortal world had emerged?
