With a bit of speechlessness, he cursed a few words, but as he watched the shadow in the fog dissipate, Li Muyang also knew there was no point in Chou Yuyan staying behind.
This crazy woman probably didn’t even know how to rescue someone.
At the very least, she had no idea where Yu Chan was now, let alone how to rescue her.
Yan Xiaoru’s letter was not only a warning for Li Muyang to hurry and save his sister, but also a tactful plea for help.
Li Muyang squinted his eyes, muttering to himself, “Didn’t Ghost Moon Fox say that it wasn’t a bad thing for Yu Chan to follow an ancient Holy Spirit? Why is Yu Chan now in mortal danger?”
Li Muyang’s thoughts stirred, and he switched consciousness, returning to the body of the two-year-old child in Demon Sword City.
Wei Suyi was still sitting beside that tile, burning green flames, trying to divine information about the Ascendant from them.
A few Immortal Artifact Masters were acting as protectors by her side, taking turns to help.
Outside Demon Sword City, the vast bodies of more than twenty Ancient Evil Gods loomed, surrounding the entire city.
Li Muyang sighed and said, “I plan to leave now, is there a fellow Daoist who will go with me?”
As soon as Li Muyang’s words came out, it immediately broke the silence in the city, and everyone looked over, their eyes filled with confusion.
Xie Liuyun asked, “You want to leave now?”
Qing Hui furrowed his brows: “Can you wait for us to go together?”
Tuoba Lie made a cold judgment: “You will surely die alone.”
It was Wei Suyi who gave Li Muyang a deep look and said, “Do you plan to abandon this body?”
Li Muyang smiled helplessly and said, “A bit of an emergency has come up, and I can’t stay with you all until the end.”
Having stayed in Demon Sword City for so many days, the anomaly inside the city had yet to occur.
That mysterious power lured him into Demon Sword City, but then made no further moves, and Li Muyang had yet to encounter anything strange in the city.
Now that Yu Chan’s situation had arisen, Li Muyang decided to leave and not waste time here.
Although abandoning a body that was 100% compatible was regrettable, Yu Chan’s danger unsettled him, and he could not ignore it.
Moreover, Li Muyang had a faint intuition that the crisis Yu Chan faced might not be brought on by the Netherworld Saint Spirit.
The Misty Sea above was bizarre and dangerous, with old-era divine beings like the Dragon God Fairy, and tens of thousands of evil spirits sealed by the Dragon God Fairy. The Netherworld Saint Spirit might not be the strongest in the Misty Sea.
Even the invincible True Man of Green Leaves entered that sea of fog and has mysteriously disappeared to this day.
The situation in this sea area might be more complicated than imagined.
Ghost Moon Fox said that the Netherworld Saint Spirit wouldn’t harm Yu Chan, which should not be comforting lies.
After all, Yu Chan is this old fox’s daughter; it certainly cares about her safety more than Li Muyang does.
Li Muyang must find Ghost Moon Fox and confirm the situation.
After bidding farewell to Wei Suyi and the others, Li Muyang turned and headed straight toward the city’s exterior to make his kill.
A red glow of blood ignited on his body; it was the Remnant Cloud Movement Technique unique to Black Cloud Fort.
In an instant, all the Evil God phantasms outside of Demon Sword City looked towards him.
Although Li Muyang wanted to abandon this body, he didn’t intend to commit suicide; since he was going to die anyway, he might as well test the combat power of these group of Evil God phantasms before his death.
Furthermore, he had a suicidal skill [Meteor Strike], said to be powerful, but he had never had the chance to use it.
Now was a good time to test its power.
…
A quarter of an hour later, Li Muyang opened his eyes inside a coffin.
What he smelled was a faint scent of soil and the strange odor of decaying garments.
Pushing aside the nailed-down lid of the coffin above his head, Li Muyang stood up from the tomb.
Looking around, he was in a dark burial chamber; the burial items were somewhat luxurious, with a dazzling array of offerings throughout the chamber.
In this world without reincarnation, people believe that their deceased relatives stay underground. If financially possible, they would prepare for their relatives’ posthumous use.
Judging from the burial items, the deceased must have been rich or noble in life.
Li Muyang swept his hand, conjuring a water mirror with a spell, and saw a pale-faced girl in a plain white dress looking back at him from the reflection.
Seeing the corpse of the young girl, Li Muyang fell silent.
“…Last time it was a child, this time a woman?”
But it didn’t matter anymore, controlling a female avatar in the game wasn’t his first time; using the body of a young girl to resurrect and move about wasn’t odd at all.
What was important now was to quickly understand the situation and then save people.
Li Muyang immediately walked out of the mausoleum, passing through three treasure-filled tombs and two sacrificial pits, he arrived at the main entrance of the grave.
The heavy stone door blocked everything, and surprisingly, there were restricted arrays set up both on the door and around the tomb.
Indeed, the style of a wealthy clan.
Unfortunately, these tomb-protecting arrays were only meant to deter outsiders; no one would have thought the dead would come out from the inside.
The moment Li Muyang’s thought arose, the Destruction Wheel, already ascended to a superior Magic Artifact, flew out and shattered the tomb door, which from the outside seemed unmovable, with only a single hit.
Then he burst through the tomb entrance, breezed through the dark passage, and after smashing through a thick layer of earth and stone, Li Muyang once again saw the sunlight outside.
Stepping on the void, he ascended, and from afar, Li Muyang saw a grand city at the horizon’s edge.
But that place was not Li Muyang’s destination.
He pondered thoughtfully, discerned the direction, and then directly flew towards Jiuyuan City.
Glorious Tunneling Light tore through the vast sky.
Upon leaving, Li Muyang saw many Cultivators’ Tunneling Lights appearing around the burial site that he had emerged from.
Those Cultivators were panicking, shouting, “Not good! The tomb door of Princess Huayang has been breached!”
“Princess Huayang has come back to life!”
These Cultivators were in utter chaos.
However, Li Muyang had already flown far away.
With his Cultivation at the Purple Mansion Realm and the powerful Remnant Cloud Movement Technique, he easily shook off the group of tomb-guarding Cultivators.
The body he had resurrected into was indeed noble, and moreover, a noble within the Cultivation World.
Li Muyang flew all the way, not daring to stop.
In his current state of deep game immersion, he did not dare to ride a Flying Boat again, for fear of being summoned back by the mysterious forces of Demon Sword City.
He flew for thirteen days and nights, resting and consuming inexpensive Elixirs to recover his strength whenever his Mana was exhausted, and then continued flying.
It was a pity he wasn’t a Sword Cultivator; holding the powerful Immortal Sword Startling Swan, he could not maximize the ultimate performance of the Immortal Sword, otherwise, his speed of Tunneling Light would be even faster.
Nevertheless, Li Muyang still traversed the long stretch of land at an extremely fast pace, reaching the remote area near Jiuyuan City in just thirteen days and nights.
Outside Jiuyuan City, the snow on the mountains and fields had already melted away a lot.
Winter was retreating, and spring was soon to arrive.
Li Muyang landed in the wilderness and directly said to the forest, “Senior Ghost Moon Fox, I have an urgent matter concerning Yu Chan that I need to discuss with you!”
Li Muyang was certain that this area was under the control of Ghost Moon Fox.
And after waiting approximately a quarter of an hour, a rustling tremor passed through the woods, and subsequently, more than a hundred blood-red foxes emerged.
Seeing these foxes, Li Muyang breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, “Finally, you’ve come. I’ve been waiting for a long time. Hurry and take me to meet Senior Ghost Moon Fox.”
He proceeded to walk forward.
However, those blood-red foxes let out a shrill and vicious laugh, instantly transforming into a fiery red tide surging towards Li Muyang.
“Who told you that we were sent by Ghost Moon Fox?!”
The foxes’ piercing laughter was unbearably sharp.
Surrounded by the foxes in an instant, Li Muyang was completely stunned.
He had not anticipated at all that this group of foxes would attack him… Damn it, that’s right!
This group of peculiar foxes had harbored hostility against Yu Chan before, even attacking her.
Indeed, they did not seem like the minions of Ghost Moon Fox at all!
