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

The residual glow of the setting sun gradually receded in the distant horizon.

The towering Ta Xue Peak was slowly enveloped by the veil of night.

One by one, bright lanterns rose under the night sky, from afar resembling a brilliantly lit, dreamlike fairy court.

Outside the Black Prison, sinister Evil Qi surged.

Wei Zizhen, the Chief Disciple of Ta Xue Peak in charge of the Black Prison, stood on the staircase opposite the prison, coldly gazing at the Black Prison gate.

The place where Evil Qi churned was a desolate land of despair, one that the living avoided at all costs.

Even they, the disciples guarding the Black Prison, stayed away from it, stationed opposite the forbidding site.

But now, an intruder had entered the Black Prison.

Someone who should not have been there, especially at a time when dark currents were swirling below the surface.

Wei Zizhen did not care for the gossip within the sect. In his view, no matter how promising a new talent rose within the sect, they would never threaten his status.

From his lofty position, he observed the internal power struggles with indifference, neither joy nor sorrow.

However, at the Sect Master’s command, he was extremely wary of this rising star named Li Muyang.

Although the man’s apparent cultivation level was not high, the Sect Master’s edict mentioned that he had already reached the Spirit Travel realm and should not be taken lightly.

Furthermore, this person had summoned a giant mantis beast that could rival those in the Purple Mansion realm…

When Wei Zizhen heard that Li Muyang was going to enter the Black Prison for a visit, he immediately became alert.

Although customarily he did not accompany those visiting the prison, he quickly summoned two elders he could reach and stood vigilantly outside the Black Prison gate.

—To attempt to break into the Black Prison to rescue someone was a folly not even the most foolhardy brute would commit.

For it would lead to death, and not to success.

The Black Prison had stood for a thousand years, incarcerating countless Purple Mansion powerhouses, whose friends and kin often included masters from major forces and sects.

Yet, no one had ever attempted a prison break, and no one dared to court death at the Refinement Demon Sect.

This dark jail, standing invulnerable for a millennium, was the most dreadful and despair-inducing place within the Refinement Demon Sect.

Once inside the Black Prison, one might as well be considered dead.

Wei Zizhen believed that any rational person would not commit such folly, but he nonetheless made arrangements out of a sense of duty.

The two elders of the Demon Sect, having received his message, hurried to the location. After learning of the situation, they felt that Wei Zizhen was making a mountain out of a molehill and were quite dissatisfied.

But the order to detain the descendents of the Corpse Immortal was the will of the Sect Master.

And the executor of that will was none other than the Wei Zizhen before them.

Therefore, despite some dissatisfaction, the two elders still remained outside the Black Prison.

Gazing at the distant Black Prison gate, Wu Xingtian, the elder skilled in the art of beast control, shook his head.

“It’s a complete waste of time. That Li Muyang just found a Purple Mansion realm beast and, probably through some serendipitous cause and effect, managed to call on the beast’s service. It’s implausible that he could become the master of such a beast.”

“If he really is foolish enough to wreak havoc in the Refinement Demon Sect, that beast won’t accompany him in such stupidity.”

Wu Xingtian, as an expert in beast control, made such a sharp assessment.

His companion, the Artifact Refining Elder Ge Hongshan, just smirked without saying anything. He gave a sidelong glance at Wei Zizhen, his eyes brimming with derision.

The two elders clearly resented Wei Zizhen, this junior, wielding his limited authority with such arrogance.

But their gripes were ignored by Wei Zizhen.

Soon, a streak of light flew in from afar and landed before him.

When the light dissipated, Yu Qiwen, scantily clad, appeared before Wei Zizhen.

“Brother…”

Faced with the stern and severe Wei Zizhen, even the usually coquettish Yu Qiwen seemed to rein in her flirtatious demeanor.

“She rarely spoke seriously, “I’ve been to the Enforcement Hall and saw for myself, the situation you were worried about really happened. Li Muyang’s several acquaintances within the Enforcement Hall have all left the Sect.”

“Inner Sect Disciple Guan Xiaoshun left two days ago, it’s said that he went to Jie City, thousands of miles away.”

“Chief Disciple of the Enforcement Hall, Cheng Feiyang, suddenly left not long ago, saying he was going to Jiuyuan City to deliver a vitally important letter for Li Muyang.”

“And those maidservants who personally served Li Muyang, they too have left the Sect not long ago, taking a flying boat out…”

Yu Qiwen said this, her expression strangely looking towards Wei Zizhen, “Judging by the current situation, it seems like Li Muyang is really about to do something.”

Dismissing his maidservants, sending away his friends, and then stepping into the dark prison alone…

At such a critical juncture, Li Muyang had made these moves without any attempt to obscure his intentions.

So blatantly, so brazenly, it was simply… inconceivable!

“…Has this kid really gone mad?” Artifact Refining Elder Ge Hongshan murmured to himself, exchanging glances with the Beast Taming Elder Wu Xingtian standing beside him.

“I didn’t see this madness in the kid when I met him before.”

Ge Hongshan continued muttering to himself.

And Wei Zizhen, upon hearing Yu Qiwen’s report, her gaze sharply focused.

Her habitual cautious investigation had unexpectedly unearthed such explosive news!

Madmen really do exist in the world!

Wei Zizhen was about to speak when suddenly, Beast Taming Elder Wu Xingtian beside her leaped up.

“Something’s not right!”

The Beast Taming Elder, adept in the art of demonic beast mastery, suddenly widened his eyes and looked towards the direction of the dark prison with a look of shock as if he had seen a ghost.

“What monstrous demonic aura is this rising from the dark prison?”

“Has a top-tier demon beast slipped past everyone’s watch and infiltrated the dark prison?”

“How is that possible! How did it manage this?!”

“This is the Refinement Demon Sect! With Sect defenses and heavy prohibitions both outside and inside the prison!”

“What kind of method could have smuggled such a powerful beast inside unnoticed?”

“It’s impossible!”

Wu Xingtian shouted frantically, as if his years of beliefs were turned upside down, screaming hysterically.

And as Wu Xingtian’s words fell, the others outside the dark prison finally sensed that towering demonic aura.

A colossal demonic aura burst forth within the lifeless dark prison, where not a single living creature seemed to exist.

The next second, the entire dark prison began to tremble violently.

A vast, ocean-like flow of demonic power continued to spill outwards through the great gates of the dark prison.

One strike, and the dark prison shook.

Another strike, and it seemed as though the entire Mount Treading Snow itself was trembling.

Beast Taming Elder Wu Xingtian kneeled on the ground, shouting in excitement.

“Such a powerful demon beast! Such pure demonic power!”

“This is a demon beast from the ancient times! Abandoning intelligence, forsaking all spells, seeking only the ultimate power! Only in this way can it possess such pure and refined demonic Qi!”

“This is a legendary demon beast!”

“Aaaaah… I must lay my eyes on this beast! It is mine! I will take it!”

Beast Taming Elder Wu Xingtian, at this moment, seemed to have lost his mind.

The formidable demon beast that had descended into the dark prison seemed to have a fatal attraction for him.

He immediately leapt into the air and crashed toward the great gates of the dark prison.
