Chapter 587 - 587: I Have a Heart of Stone
The low and crazed laughter of the madwoman sounded harsh to Li Muyang.
He dug at his ears, saying, “Since you’ve already called me heartless, for you to appear so quickly…could it be that you think I am already despairing?”
This woman, she truly was mad.
So malicious and paranoid, it was outrageous.
But the crazier the opponent, the less Li Muyang wanted to seem weaker in spirit.
With a cold reply, Li Muyang mocked and provoked.
In response, the madwoman giggled, seeming to be in a good mood.
“I came to see you now, naturally, because I have something to ask of you.”
“You have been in The Peaceful Realms for several days now, completely cut off from the outside world. You must be very worried about the safety of your relatives in reality, right?”
“I have already obtained accurate information. Your sister, a successor to the Corpse Immortal, went missing on the night of the upheaval. Someone saw her die amid the catastrophe, drained of flesh and blood by the Thousand-Eyed Blood God.”
“And your parents in the World Outside Ark will also face trouble.”
“After the news spread that you hold the Startling Swan Immortal Sword and possess an ancient Immortal Artifact, all the sects and great cultivators from both the Immortal and Demon paths are stirring.”
“Even my subordinates from Qing Yang who practice demonic cultivation are plotting to raid the World Outside Ark to kill your parents. Everyone wants to take your parents hostage to force you to exchange them for the ancient Immortal Artifact.”
“The World Outside Ark, now facing tremendous internal and external pressure, has reportedly decided to abandon your parents as a hot potato and ignore them.”
“Your rural relatives in Jiuyuan City vanished overnight, abducted by various cultivation sects.”
“Today, this land is cursed for anyone related to you.”
“That boy named Guan Xiaoshun, after being discovered, fled in a wretched state and, it’s said, was severely injured and fell off a cliff, his body lost to the wilderness.”
“Several maidservants who served you in the Refinement Demon Sect, whom you had sent away before the incident, have also been discovered. Two powerful figures from the Demon path have captured and confined them.”
“Right, there is also a demonic cultivator named Cheng Feiyang, the chief disciple of the Refinement Demon Sect’s enforcement hall, right? You had a good relationship with him? You sent him away the night before the riot. Not long ago, he too was hunted down, fled into the wilderness, and last disappeared in the Evil Qi-churning ancient battlefield within Burial Immortal Ridge.”
“Since ancient times, no one who has entered Burial Immortal Ridge has ever come back alive.”
In the fog, the madwoman covered her face, laughing extremely joyously.
She was so happy that her whole body trembled.
“All these friends and old acquaintances connected to you have met with great misfortune!”
“Their current misfortune is all your doing! Hahaha! You’ve killed them!”
“And you, you’re also trapped in The Peaceful Realms, neither dead nor alive, neither human nor ghost! Hahaha… Jiang Xiaoyu! You’ve met your doom today too!”
The madwoman laughed wildly and delightfully.
The piercing laughter made one worry she might laugh herself into convulsions.
Sitting atop the mantis head of the Emerald Dagger Mantis, Li Muyang, however, had an icy look in his eyes.
His heart was even colder.
The news brought by this madwoman had indeed startled him, chilling him to the bone.
He had speculated about the situation after the battle, but he had not expected it to be so dire.
Even the rural relatives in Jiuyuan City connected to him had been affected.
And his friends Guan Xiaoshun and Cheng Feiyang were impacted as well, now with uncertain fates.
And his sister Li Yuechan…
In the fog, the madwoman’s crazed laughter continued for a long time.
But atop the Emerald Dagger Mantis, Li Muyang had closed his eyes, no longer paying any attention to her, showing no reaction.
She laughed for a while, and not getting any response, she seemed somewhat bored.
She stopped laughing and looked at Li Muyang with displeasure.
“Jiang Xiaoyu! All of your friends and family have met their deaths because of you, and you have no reaction?”
Sitting at the top of the emerald mantis, Li Muyang did not even open his eyes.
He said in a cold tone, “Didn’t you say I have a heart of stone and am cold and ruthless?”
“Since you know I have a heart of stone and am cold and ruthless, why bother asking me? What do the lives of these people have to do with me?”
“I can barely protect myself, let alone worry about them.”
Li Muyang’s tone was icy, his words detached and merciless.
Such a response fiercely halted the crazed woman in the mist.
The next second, her eyes turned blood red within the mist.
Her voice also became hysterical again.
“Damn Jiang Xiaoyu!”
“You heartless, cold bastard! You truly have the heart of a wolf and the lungs of a dog!”
“Just stay in this broken Peaceful Realms, rotting alongside your heart of a wolf and lungs of a dog!”
Amid the furious howling, the figure of the crazed woman vanished from the mist.
Li Muyang’s indifferent reaction had unexpectedly provoked her, causing her to become enraged and lose control.
Watching the disappearance of the crazed woman, Li Muyang frowned slightly.
“…This mad woman.”
He was curious why this woman could freely travel to and from the Peaceful Realms.
Even the gods of the Peaceful Realms from ancient times couldn’t travel between the realms this easily, could they?
Otherwise, those gods wouldn’t have needed to bother reincarnating.
The crazed woman in front of him indeed possessed an aura of anomaly and evil.
However, after pondering for a few seconds, Li Muyang forcefully pushed aside his distractions and decided not to think about this mad woman.
With no clues at the moment, thinking more would not change his situation.
Better to take advantage of his free time and hurry to finish the game.
He entered the game once again, reaching the presence of Martial Trust King Lu Chen.
Martial Trust King Lu Chen, surrounded by a tumultuous aura of blood, had returned to his peak battle state by burning his blood energy.
The state of Martial Trust King Lu Chen was terrifyingly strong.
However, in Li Muyang’s view, such a state couldn’t be maintained for long.
As long as he outlasted Martial Trust King Lu Chen’s depletion of blood energy, facing a weakened Martial Trust King Lu Chen, he would easily finish the game!
At this moment, Martial Trust King Lu Chen’s formidable combat strength and vibrating blood energy seemed to push Li Muyang and his men into a desperate situation.
But in Li Muyang’s view, it was Martial Trust King Lu Chen who was truly in a desperate situation.
Calmly dealing with Martial Trust King Lu Chen’s powerful and lethal techniques, Li Muyang said,
“Hold on! Just endure this state of his, and we win!”
After defeating Martial Trust King Lu Chen, the next boss would be the final boss, the Emperor.
At this moment, Li Muyang had one foot already at the gateway to finishing the game.
As time in “Demon Mist Imperial Capital” was also slowly running out,
although the game originally started with plenty of time, the many distractions around Li Muyang had always caused delays.
Now finally free, he could fully immerse himself in the game.
Whether for himself or for the land of Tianyuan, Li Muyang had to defeat Martial Trust King Lu Chen, as well as the cruel Emperor.
He must never let this tyrant’s emperor’s “grand schemes” of massacre succeed!
