The Game with Fairies - Chapter 419

Chapter 419: Farewell Letter

Li Muyang was startled by the words of the Moon-Biting Dragon.

“A flying sword message from Fairy Liuli?”

Since their last parting, Fairy Liuli had returned to the south of Yin Mountain, leaving the northern lands.

Now, with the situation worsening in the south and the evil god rampaging at the Ancient Grudge Well, Fairy Liuli suddenly sent a flying sword message…

Could something have happened?

Li Muyang’s heart skipped a beat, and he became anxious.

He didn’t want to waste any more time; he was ready to defeat the monster before him quickly, even at the risk of injury.

Fortunately, even if this incense avatar was wounded, it wouldn’t affect the main body.

Once Li Muyang had swiftly defeated the remnant soul, he finally had a chance to take out the letter from his chest.

The voice of the Moon-Biting Dragon echoed in his ear.

“I received this a few days ago when I was out, sent by Fairy Liuli from the south.”

“It couldn’t enter underground and was circling in the sky for a long time.”

“As soon as I went out, it immediately flew into my hands.”

Li Muyang took out a small flying sword the size of a palm and a letter with graceful handwriting from his chest.

The small flying sword, made of agarwood, was exquisite and carried Fairy Liuli’s sword intent, delivering her message.

On the envelope brought by the flying sword, it was written 【For Muyang, from Liuli】.

Although the Moon-Biting Dragon was curious about the contents of the letter, she did not open it privately, and the flying sword message remained intact.

Li Muyang took a deep breath, looking at the flying sword message in his hands, and suddenly hesitated before opening it.

He hoped it was good news…

As he unfolded the letter, the graceful handwriting of Fairy Liuli Chu Qingxue appeared before his eyes.

【For Muyang, from Liuli, as if meeting through this letter…】

Fairy Liuli’s flying sword message was brief, and the words used were extremely restrained.

There were no passionate emotions nor any panic about impending disasters.

She simply relayed everything she had witnessed to Li Muyang in a calm manner, informing him of the situation in the south.

The cold and calm wording was completely consistent with Fairy Liuli’s aloof character.

Looking at the letter in his hands, the image of the always composed and indifferent fairy seemed to flash before Li Muyang’s eyes and then disappear.

For a moment, Li Muyang felt melancholic.

The Moon-Biting Dragon, seeing the contents of the letter through Li Muyang’s eyes, breathed a sigh of relief.

“…It doesn’t seem too serious.”

“I was thinking that something major must have happened in the south, and that’s why Fairy Chu specifically came to you for help.”

“But it seems that the problem isn’t too big, which is great.”

The Moon-Biting Dragon was quite relieved. She had a very good impression of that Fairy Chu and didn’t want her to be in danger. However, after the Moon-Biting Dragon finished speaking, she noticed that Li Muyang’s mood was still low.

The Moon-Biting Dragon became uneasy and asked softly, “Did… did I say something wrong?”

Listening to the Dragon Maiden’s cautious inquiry and looking at the letter in his hands that carried Chu Qingxue’s sentiments, Li Muyang sighed deeply and said,

“The situation is very bad…”

He paused, then added, “Worse than I imagined.”

Li Muyang’s words puzzled the Dragon Maiden.

“Ah? Very bad?”

The Dragon Maiden looked confused.

“Doesn’t the letter say that everything is still okay? Although it seems a bit troublesome, Fairy Chu said everything is fine…”

Hearing the Dragon Maiden’s naive and bewildered voice, Li Muyang shook his head with a bitter smile.

“You don’t understand Chu Qingxue; she is a woman of strong character who rarely bows her head easily.”

“When she says the situation is critical, it means that things have already gotten so bad that they are out of control.”

“In the letter, she says there is still a chance, and the disciples of the Mystic Sword Sect will work together to quell this disaster.”

“But from what I know of her, what she really means is that the situation has collapsed, there’s no solution in sight, and the Mystic Sword Sect disciples will make a final stand, regardless of life or death…”

As he said this, Li Muyang sighed again and clenched the letter in his hand.

Chu Qingxue’s words in the letter were very restrained. There were no complaints, no pleas for help, just a calm recounting of the situation in the south, bidding farewell to Li Muyang.

But considering the deteriorating situation hinted at between the lines and Chu Qingxue’s resolute character… this letter seemed very much like a farewell letter.

According to Chu Qingxue’s account, the south was now in complete chaos.

The rebels had gained full momentum, half of the Heavenly Origin Dynasty’s territory had fallen, and the army was retreating steadily.

The rebels were now pointing their blades directly at the imperial capital, ready to break through the last barrier before the city at any moment and invade the capital.

Amidst this crisis, unsettling news came from within the capital.

The entire team of Demon-Suppressing Masters from the Imperial Astronomical Bureau had withdrawn from the capital to suppress the evil god in the south.

After the departure of the Demon-Suppressing Masters from the Imperial Astronomical Bureau, something significant seemed to have happened in the capital.

A dense and extreme demonic aura descended over the capital, forming a terrifying demon cloud that lingered over the entire city for a long time.

Some cultivators from the Mystic Sword Sect sensed the gathering of demonic energy in the capital and attempted to investigate, only to be attacked by demons.

They managed to escape with great difficulty but were severely injured and have been unconscious ever since.

Master Qingye has not returned from the sea, and the Demon-Suppressing Masters of the Imperial Astronomical Bureau have gone south, unwilling to return to the capital.

Now, the demon cloud and evil aura enveloping the capital are unprecedentedly terrifying, and the cultivators of the Mystic Sword Sect have decided to go to the capital to eliminate the demons causing chaos within.

This letter was sent by Chu Qingxue under such circumstances.

In her letter, she asked Li Muyang to stay calm and assist the Dragon Maiden in her cultivation, not to head south.

Once the turmoil in the capital was over, she would travel north again to meet Li Muyang, and at that time, she asked him to taste the fragrant tea she had come across in the south.

The emotions in the letter were very restrained, and the wording was calm.

But the more he read, the more it felt like a last will, a farewell letter.

Beneath Chu Qingxue’s calm and indifferent exterior, there was a strong unease and uncertainty about the life and death nature of her journey.

At this moment, Li Muyang had an urgent desire to leave the Peach Blossom Fairyland and head south to help Chu Qingxue.

Clearly, the Dragon Maiden shared the same thought.

After listening to Li Muyang’s analysis, the Dragon Maiden finally realized the seriousness of the situation and became anxious.

“Then let’s hurry south to help!”

“My strength is very great now, and with our help, perhaps we can ensure Fairy Chu’s safety!”

The Dragon Maiden was extremely anxious.

However, Li Muyang in the Peach Blossom Fairyland sighed and shook his head in refusal.

“We can’t go…”

He looked helplessly towards the south and said, “Have you forgotten that we cannot set foot on the land south of Yin Mountain?”

“Before Master Qingye went out to sea, he set up a grand formation between heaven and earth south of Yin Mountain.”

“If the extraordinary beings of the north head south, they will surely perish without a place to be buried…”

Li Muyang also wanted to go south to help, but the grand formation set up by Master Qingye now blocked him.

All he could do was stand on the land of the north, watching helplessly as demons ran amok in the south, with Fairy Liuli and Chu Qingxue in danger.

At this moment, the Dragon Maiden suddenly thought of someone else.

“We could go find Fairy Chu’s mother! Your mother-in-law!”

“Maybe she has a way to help?”
