The fairies I flirted with in the game became real?!
Chapter 724 - 724: Open the DoorWhile at the Ark Beyond the World, Mr. and Mrs. Li Damu told the story of how the fox spirit sent them a child.
In that eerie and mysterious tale, Mr. and Mrs. Li Damu were not the only mortals to have received help from a fox spirit.
Around Jiuyuan City, many people had received the fox spirit’s assistance and had made some kind of deal with it.
For example, Mr. and Mrs. Li Damu asked the fox spirit to save their child, and in exchange, they agreed to raise the fox’s daughter, Yu Chan.
The only explanation for these fawning, ordinary mortals to appear here was that they all had made deals with the fox spirit!
Li Muyang stared intently at Yan Xiaoru and began to inquire.
Yan Xiaoru gave a slight smile and said, “Muyang is indeed clever. Just as you have guessed, these people have all met the fox spirit and made deals with it.”
“In ancient times, such people could be referred to as Divine Favored.”
“Additionally, I must thank Miss Qu Ping for her help. Without it, I wouldn’t have been able to find so many Divine Favored.”
“Without her assistance, relying solely on our search these past few days, we would have found only half as many Divine Favored.”
Yan Xiaoru’s smile of gratitude made the robust woman awkwardly lower her head.
Her body trembling slightly, she even dared not look at Li Muyang’s face.
In the midst of the snow, Li Muyang faintly heard Qu Ping’s murmuring whisper: “I have wronged the young master…”
From her appearance alone, Qu Ping seemed unscathed.
But the Qu Ping described by Li Yuechan was a fierce, unrestrained woman, a female hero among men.
Li Muyang found it hard to imagine what kind of torment this fiery woman had endured to become so frail and timid now, even betraying the critical information that Yuechan and the others had worked hard to gather.
A chill ran through Li Muyang’s heart as he said, “You brought me here because I am connected to the fox spirit, right?”
“The way you seek the fox spirit, it’s not to blood sacrifice us all who are related to it, is it?”
By this time, Li Muyang was no longer the clueless novice he had been when he first arrived in this world.
Though nearly all of his Cultivation and Mana had come from the system, he had spent many years in the Cultivation World, battling divine beings, arm-wrestling with True Immortals, and diligently cultivating the Nether Demon Manual.
By association and understanding, even if he wasn’t a specialist in Formations and talismans, he could glimpse from the traces in the snow that this Array was related to blood sacrifice.
The group of Demon Cultivators from the Qing Yang association intended to blood sacrifice some kind of offering to achieve a certain goal.
At this moment in the snow, the only possible offerings for the ritual were Mr. and Mrs. Li Damu, the mortals related to the fox spirit, and Li Muyang, all fitting the predicament of a sacrifice.
Yan Xiaoru shook her head in response, “You’ve guessed right, but only half right.”
“Indeed, these Divine Favored like your in-laws are very crucial, but it would be too wasteful to use them for a blood sacrifice.”
“The offering for this Array is something else.”
After Yan Xiaoru finished speaking, the Array in the snow was just fully arranged, and the Demon Cultivators from the Qing Yang association retreated in succession.
Only the venerable Tianxin old man approached, and this corpse of a True Immortal controlled by Chou Yuyan took out a portfolio, flicking it open in the wind.
Suddenly, the illustration of a fiery red fox on the portfolio came to life vividly, and eventually, the red fox jumped out from the page, landing at the center of the Array where the offering was placed.
In the wind and snow, the fox let out a wretched howl, its body surging with a cold Evil Qi.
However, Tianxin old man, with an icy cold gaze, ruthlessly suppressed the fox while activating the Array.
Brilliant light spilled from the Array in the snow, converging towards the offering, eventually swirling around the body of the fox.
This was an incredibly lengthy process, taking up a full half hour of time before the entire Array was fully activated.
The fox, levitating mid-air, gave out a piercing howl.
An invisible gateway emerged behind it.
But this gateway trembled violently, very unstable.
The fur on the fox’s body also trembled and contorted wildly, as if the blood beneath its fur was boiling.
The right hand of Tianxin old man raised high was also shaking violently, showing the immense struggle to maintain control.
At last…
Bang!
With an explosive sound, the light-engulfed fire fox burst into a ball of blood plasma, and the portal in the sky thunderously dissipated.
The formation in the snowfield outright collapsed.
Even the nature’s spiritual energy of this world underwent violent chaos, raising a spiritual energy storm right there.
Witnessing this scene, Yan Xiaoru shook her head in disappointment: “Just as expected, opening the portal is difficult…”
Having said that, she sighed and turned to look at Li Muyang.
“I’m sorry, Mu Yang, for making a fool of myself in front of you.”
Yan Xiaoru said, “It seems, if you want to meet the fox spirit, it might take some time. Even the first step of opening the portal is so difficult… ha…”
Yan Xiaoru sneered mockingly, glancing at the Demon Cultivators of the Qing Yang group not far away.
But she didn’t elaborate, only waved her hand and said: “Rest for now, Mu Yang. I’ll take care of your grandparents.”
“When the portal is successfully opened, I’ll wake you up.”
Having said that, several ghosts surged over again, engulfing Li Muyang.
Li Muyang’s consciousness once more sunk into darkness.
…
Inside The Peaceful Realms, Li Muyang’s eyes fluttered open on the back of the Green Saber Mantis.
Recalling the scene he had just witnessed, he furrowed his brows.
“Something’s not right.”
The formation set up by the Demon Cultivators of Qing Yang just now looked extremely peculiar. Especially after the blood sacrifice of the fire fox began, the chilly air that permeated was not at all a state that should be present in a Cultivation World formation.
That coldness felt more like…
“An enemy from The Peaceful Realms?” Li Muyang muttered to himself with a somber expression.
The mysterious fox spirit, could it be not a divine spirit of the Mortal World but a ghost god from The Peaceful Realms?
“It feels like I’m getting closer and closer to the history of ten thousand years ago…”
As his Cultivation grew, he encountered more and more things, and Li Muyang found himself getting closer and closer to the calamities of ancient times.
The good news for now was that the rate of failure for Qing Yang’s formation was extremely high; based on Yan Xiaoru’s words, they estimated it would take a long time to succeed.
And as they were preoccupied with opening the portal, they had no time to bother Yu Chan.
This fact allowed Li Muyang a slight sense of relief.
At this moment, a system notification came through.
In “Buddha’s Heart Demon”, the character Jie Zijiu, who had been traveling automatically for a while, had finally reached his destination.
Li Muyang immediately entered the game and returned to Jie Zijiu’s perspective.
Sitting in a carriage, he saw a town under the sunset appear in his view.
This was the place haunted by nightmare ghosts.
However, upon seeing his destination, Li Muyang didn’t have time to feel happy.
A smile instantly stiffened on his face.
Because at the town’s gate ahead, he saw a familiar figure.
A headless corpse holding a head, standing carefreely and indifferently in front of the town gate, wearing a brownish-yellow monk’s robe, one hand holding a staff, the other a head, bestowing blessings on the townsfolk at the gate.
The mortals gathered at the town gate, instead of being frightened by such an eerie headless corpse, were excitedly crowding around him, bowing and worshipping, as if they were seeing a holy monk.
But upon seeing this bizarre headless corpse, Li Muyang felt chills all over.
An ancient Demon Cultivator, Miao Fengjun!
Damn! How did I bump into him here?
