The fairies I flirted with in the game became real?!

“An Upper Ancient Corpse Solution Immortal?”

Li Muyang, upon hearing this unfamiliar term, felt a slight stir in his heart.

“What’s this Upper Ancient Corpse Solution Immortal?”

Mere mention of the name was out of the ordinary.

He couldn’t help but feel curious.

Why would that group of people with a mysterious background believe that he was entrusted by an Upper Ancient Corpse Solution Immortal?

But he listened to the Ghost Girl say, “Those guys say that your cultivation progress is so fast, reaching Core Formation Realm in just one year, which is very similar to the evil cultivation methods of the Upper Ancient Corpse Solution Immortal.”

“So they want to find you, claiming that there have been many strange deaths previously in the Refinement Demon Sect, similar to the evil magic of that Corpse Immortal. You might have received the inheritance of the Corpse Immortal.”

The Ghost Girl didn’t know much and couldn’t provide more useful information.

Li Muyang, however, began to ponder deeply, feeling somewhat of a headache.

“What the hell is this nonsense about a Corpse Immortal…it’s completely unjustifiable disaster!”

All my rapid Core Formation and cultivation progress in one year were due to my own efforts, earned day after day with hard gaming.

How did I suddenly get labeled with the name of a Corpse Immortal?

The key issue was that this group of individuals dared to come and attempt to kill him, knowing full well that he possessed the ability of Core Formation Realm… Their strength must be extraordinary, definitely not weaklings.

In Nine Origin City, a distant rural area, the strongest local was Yan Xiaoru’s personal maid Aunt Su.

Beyond her, the rest were insignificant.

It’s not like one could expect the City Lord of Nine Origin City, Hu Lie of the Foundation Establishment Realm, to suddenly display divine prowess and fend off the powerful enemies, right?

Li Muyang turned to the Ghost Girl and asked, “When are those guys coming? Do you know when they plan to make their move… Have you found out anything about this?”

The Ghost Girl, Shen Miao, shook her head innocently, “I don’t know; they said very little.”

“After settling in that area with dense Yin-Sha energies, they basically stopped talking.”

“But they probably haven’t arrived yet because when I heard their plan, I heard them say they were still waiting for one more person.”

“That person is known as the Old Dry Leaf, and he seems very powerful. They plan to come to Nine Origin City and look for you once this Old Dry Leaf arrives.”

Shen Miao said, “I ran to inform you immediately upon hearing the news, so they probably haven’t arrived yet. Brother-in-law, you still have time to run.”

Li Muyang frowned slightly, “Old Dry Leaf?”

The name sounded vaguely familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before.

But he was usually engrossed in cultivating and gaming, hardly paying attention to news from the outside world, so he didn’t know much about the key figures from the Immortal and Demon paths.

Fortunately, within the Refinement Demon Sect, they compiled a special “Inner Reference” booklet distributed to direct disciples and powerful Inner Sect disciples to acquaint them with the prominent figures of both the Immortal and Demon paths.

This “Inner Reference” was updated from time to time, recording many significant figures and recent events of both the Immortal and Demon paths.

With a thought, Li Muyang took out the booklet he had recently received from his Qiankun Ring and began flipping through it.

Upon opening the first page, he saw the current number one person of the Path of Immortality, the mysterious and powerful Green Lotus Fairy.

The illustrated portrait on the page was drawn beautifully, even animated, with quality that could easily surpass many shoddy mobile games from his past life.

The Green Lotus Fairy, standing aloof above the clouds, wore an indifferent expression, with an infinite domain of swords shimmering behind her.

However, Li Muyang was not looking for illustrations to get excited over.

After just a couple of glances, he quickly turned past the Green Lotus Fairy’s page and continued flipping through.

The seemingly thin booklet seemed to have endless pages.

Li Muyang flipped through over a hundred pages before he finally came across the information he was looking for.

Old Dry Leaf

On page 139, the illustration of the ancient old man appears.

An elderly man with white hair, holding a bamboo cane and with a gentle smile, he looked more like a kind and friendly old doctor than a member of the Demon Path.

But the dense text beside the illustration simply stated his identity and his bloody record of achievements.

[The ancient old man is affiliated with the Green Sheep Society, a Cultivator of the Spirit Travel Realm, practices the mystic technique “Green Snake Sutra”, specializes in poison, Curse Techniques, and the way of talismans and charms. Disciples who encounter him must flee as quickly as possible, he is not to be matched unless one has reached or surpassed the Spirit Travel Realm.]

Beneath these lines of text are some of the ancient old man’s bloody achievements.

Cultivators of the Spirit Travel Realm, and even an unfortunate Cultivator of the Purple Mansion, had died by his poisonous talismans and charms.

Such an overwhelming track record sent chills down Li Muyang’s spine.

This old monster’s sinister techniques can actually kill above his level, even targeting a Purple Mansion?

This is pure cheating!

He, being a system prodigy, now in the later stages of the Core Formation Realm, still wouldn’t guarantee that he could kill above his level against a Cultivator of the Profound Mysteries Realm.

The ancient old man, however, had accomplished the feat of killing above his level, taking down a Purple Mansion at that.

Li Muyang looked at the booklet in his hands, feeling the cold bunch up at his heart again.

The ghostly girl beside him also widened her eyes and said, “Brother-in-law, this… this ancient old man is so fierce! Aren’t you done for this time?”

The group traveling with the ancient old man were likely also Demon Cultivators of the Spirit Travel Realm on par with him.

Even if they were weaker, they probably wouldn’t be much weaker.

Have I really attracted the attention of so many crazed individuals of the Demon Path all at once?

How… how is one supposed to live like this?

Initially, he thought that Yan Xiaoru’s personal maid, Aunt Su, being a Spirit Travel Realm Cultivator, would ensure their safety on this journey.

But now, it seemed that if the ancient old man really came to the door leading a group of Demon Path maniacs, even if Yan Xiaoru herself was in charge, victory wouldn’t be assured.

Shen Miao wore a worried look and said, “Brother-in-law, what should we do? The enemy is too strong.”

Li Muyang snorted, tucked away the booklet, and coldly retorted, “I may not be able to beat them, but can I not out-run them!”

Of the thirty-six stratagems, fleeing is the best. Now that the enemy hasn’t yet come knocking, Li Muyang naturally prioritized escaping first.

Going head-to-head was extremely foolish; Li Muyang was not about to fight such an idiotic battle where the odds were so uneven and the chance of winning was zero.

However, concocting an escape strategy also required some planning.

Li Muyang immediately went outside and instructed the maid to call for Li Yuechan and Ning Wan’er from the Ning residence.

These two girls had arranged to go out of the city for a spring outing today, and were in high spirits under the escort of their young companions.

Li Muyang wasn’t interested in such limelight, so he declined to accompany them.

Soon, having received the message, Ning Wan’er and Li Yuechan rushed back in a hurry, both wearing puzzled expressions.

“Brother, what’s happened? You said it was extremely urgent?”

Li Yuechan asked curiously as she entered.

In their eyes, Li Muyang was always composed and reserved, never hasty.

If he said it was a matter of extreme urgency, it must be a significant event indeed.

Amidst Ning Wan’er and Li Yuechan’s curious gazes, Li Muyang directly dismissed all the maids, leaving only Aunt Su, the Spirit Travel Realm practitioner.

“Here’s the situation, I’ve received reliable information that the ancient old man from the Green Sheep Society is coming to Jiuyuan City to kill me.”

Facing the puzzled looks from the three of them, Li Muyang quickly got to the point, “They suspect that I am the descendant of an ancient Corpse Immortal, saying that my cultivation is advancing so quickly because I might have acquired the Corpse Immortal’s legacy.”

“So, they are coming to kill me. They might already be on their way.”
