The Game with Fairies - Chapter 379

Chapter 379: The Outside World is Too Dangerous

However, the moment Li Muyang’s external incarnation stepped into the fairyland, he frowned and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

Last time he played the game, he had slain a total of four monster bosses before logging off and was in the midst of battling the fifth.

However, upon entering the fairyland this time, the figure rushing towards him was not the boss from before logging off, but rather a familiar female silhouette.

In the next second, the woman’s figure, dragging a black mist, engulfed him.

Li Muyang entered the combat interface and saw the enemy ahead.

A face pale and desolate, eyes hollow and lifeless, and a beautiful visage with delicate features…

Standing before him was a woman who looked exactly like himself!

“Ah?!”

Li Muyang was stunned at the sight of this enemy.

At this moment, he finally understood where the remnant soul monsters in the fairyland came from.

–Could it be that those who died in the fairyland turned into remnant souls of monsters, attacking those who entered later?

If that’s the case, it would explain why the Peach Blossom Fairyland, which had no outsiders thousands of years ago, was now filled with remnant souls and ghostly shadows after thousands of years…

It seems that over these millennia, many people, driven by greed, sought the flesh and blood of the Peach Blossom Fairy and stepped into this fairyland.

Unfortunately, very few ended up obtaining the fairy’s flesh and blood.

Facing a remnant soul that looked exactly like himself, even with the same attack methods, Li Muyang easily vanquished it.

After all, the strength of the mutated remnant souls within the fairyland was far inferior to their original forms, and despite identical attack methods, the gap in strength was too great.

Having easily slain the previous remnant image of the law body, Li Muyang headed towards the next monster boss.

His direction had changed. Instead of heading towards the center of the Peach Blossom Fairyland as before, he now veered off course towards a secluded corner of the fairyland.

He remembered clearly that this was the direction of the fairyland’s Spiritual Medicine Garden.

The Peach Blossom Fairy may have perished, but if any of the immortal herbs and spiritual medicines she had planted survived, it would be a great harvest indeed.

Li Muyang, who was well-acquainted with the Peach Blossom Fairyland, naturally would not miss such an opportunity to gather heavenly treasures…

……

“Brother, we’ve arrived at the sect.”

The voice of his little sister, Li Yuechan, rang out from outside the cabin.

The in-game Li Muyang opened his eyes.

It was almost time to log off.

After giving a few instructions to the Dragon Maiden, Li Muyang entrusted his divine consciousness avatar to her and logged off the game.

After tidying up a bit in the room, Li Muyang stepped out of the cabin.

He saw the setting sun like blood in the distant sky, the Hall of Enforcement in front of the flying boat shimmering in the sunset as if coated with a layer of faint golden light.

Further in the distance, amidst the sea of clouds, a series of floating islands stood suspended in the air, with green peaks and flying pavilions, truly a magnificent scene of the immortals.

Li Damu and his wife, who had never seen such a sight, were stunned and deeply shocked.

“Is… is this the Demonic Sect’s gate?”

As a martial artist, Li Damu was filled with envy: “The world of cultivators is truly beyond the imagination of us mortals…”

Although he was somewhat of a figure in his hometown of Jiuyuan City, coming from the remote countryside to the gate of the Demon Refining Sect, Li Damu suddenly felt worldly.

Inside the grand and majestic gate of the Demonic Sect, Li Damu and his wife, as mortals, felt even more insignificant and humble…

Li Muyang said to Li Yuechan beside him, “If you have time in the next few days, take them to visit Yunxiao City.”

Yunxiao City, as the largest city under the rule of the Demon Refining Sect and in some sense its capital, was grand and prosperous.

Since Li Damu and his wife had come to the gate of the Demon Refining Sect, they naturally should visit Yunxiao City outside the mountain.

Although the task of accompanying the elders on a shopping trip should theoretically be done by Li Muyang, the son, after he said this, neither Li Damu and his wife nor Li Yuechan had any objections.

The young girl grinned, nodding and reaching out to Li Muyang for money.

Li Muyang rolled his eyes and took out a purse from his Qiankun Ring and tossed it to Li Yuechan, telling her to spend it wisely.

However, Li Damu and his wife repeatedly refused, saying they didn’t want to disturb the siblings’ cultivation and that it was fine for them to stay in the sect without needing to visit Yunxiao City.

Although the son and foster daughter were ready to show them around, the simple and honest Li Damu and his wife did not become arrogant with their newfound status.

Facing their son and foster daughter, who were now big figures in the Demonic Sect, they even became more cautious and timid.

Such “worry-free” parents made Li Muyang feel an inexplicable discomfort in his heart.

Although he had no strong feelings for these two nominal relatives, seeing Li Damu, whose temples were already graying, being so deferential to him, his son, made him feel choked up inside.

After sighing, Li Muyang instructed the two personal maids who accompanied him to follow and attend to the elderly couple in the coming days without neglect.

–Although Li Damu and his wife were only in their forties and not considered old.

After arranging everything, Li Muyang pulled his little sister, Li Yuechan, aside privately and asked her to arrange for the “immigration” to World’s End Ark as soon as possible.

Li Muyang, who had not cared much for Li Damu and his wife, could no longer ignore these two blood-related parents after this visit home.

The couple’s kindness towards him was too profound, so much so that Li Muyang, the transmigrator, found it hard to handle.

Fortunately, sending them to World’s End Ark would at least ensure they could live out their old age in peace.

He would later send more gold, silver, treasures, pills, and spiritual items to ensure they could enjoy a wealthy second half of their lives…

This was the limit of what Li Muyang could do.

After dealing with these miscellaneous matters, Li Muyang went to withdraw several array flags, fresh spiritual beast livers, and demon blood, and began to close himself off for cultivation.

He was not only closing off to play the game but also to set up an array to dispel the wandering immortal curse on his body.

The curse of the wandering immortal still lingered on him, and Li Muyang felt uneasy until it was removed.

Moreover, this trip back home had been harrowing.

Now that he had finally returned to the sect, Li Muyang decided to cultivate in peace and play the game, refusing to go out again.

He made a vow that unless he could cultivate to the Divine Travel Realm, he would not step half a foot outside the Demon Refining Sect’s gate!

The outside world is too dangerous!

Having been chased and hunted by a mysterious demonic cultivator, Li Muyang did not want to experience it a second time.

With the door to his quiet room firmly closed, Li Muyang took a deep breath and, following the method suggested by the two little girls from the Mother Buddha Temple, set up a simple array in the center of the quiet room to begin expelling the curse.

As the array operated, black miasma began to drift from Li Muyang’s body, standing at the center of the array, and dissipated into the air.

…..

At the same time, far beyond the Sea of Mist on the northern end of the Heavenly Origin Continent, beneath a towering ancient tree outside the border, a white-haired man opened his eyes.

He looked towards the distance with surprise, his gaze seemingly crossing the Sea of Mist, looking in the direction of the Demon Refining Sect’s gate beyond the Sea of Mist.

“…Want to dispel the curse?”
