The Game with Fairies

Chapter 185

“Yuechan...”

In the thicket beside the main road, Ning Wan’er came to Li Yuechan’s side.

Her hair was covered with several dry leaves, and her dress had been torn in several places by the bushes, her appearance somewhat disheveled.

But Ning Wan’er was not concerned with her disheveled appearance; she was surprised to come to Li Yuechan’s side.

“Do you understand this blood mist?”

As soon as the blood mist began to settle, Li Yuechan hurriedly descended, avoiding the tragedy of the two falling from tens of thousands of zhang.

Clearly, Li Yuechan knew something about this eerie blood mist.

But faced with Ning Wan’er’s confusion, Li Yuechan could only sigh bitterly.

She recalled the story told by the senior, saying, “I only came across a mention of it in an ancient text, I never expected it to be real.”

“In ancient times, during a period of darkness and turmoil, there was a blood mist that caused havoc in the world.”

“Land that was submerged and contaminated by the blood mist would seal off spiritual energy, and even true immortals and divine spirits who stepped into it would be stripped of their cultivation, reduced to mortals.”

“This bizarre blood mist caused great disasters in ancient times.”

“I never imagined that the demon from the Blood Lotus Sect could summon such a blood mist, sealing off such a vast expanse of land...”

The two had flown from Tianjiao City for hundreds of liu.

But it was only when the blood mist began to settle that they could vaguely see the edge of the mist at the end of their vision.

The area covered by this blood mist was at least a thousand li in radius!

Such a vast expanse of land being contaminated, coupled with the chaos caused by the demon from the Blood Lotus Sect in the city... the situation in Tianjiao City was probably dire.

Li Yuechan shared her general understanding of the blood mist, and Ning Wan’er’s expression became grave.

“...We must escape immediately and seek reinforcements!”

“We have to inform the other elders of the Demonic Sect about what has happened here and call for the mortal warriors from various places to come to our aid!”

Inside Tianjiao City, Sect Leader Gong Yanghong and the twelve elders were all trapped.

If this group of top combatants from the Demon Refining Sect were to fall, it would be a huge blow to the overall strength of the Demon Refining Sect!

Ning Wan’er immediately sensed the breath of crisis: “There are fifty thousand soldiers in the Tianjiao City patrol camp; the demon from the Blood Lotus Sect may have the upper hand for a moment, but it would be difficult to harm the elders in a short time.”

“As long as the elders hold their ground and gather all the soldiers and servants, quelling the unrest in the city is just a matter of time.”

“But...”

Ning Wan’er looked in the direction of Tianjiao City, her expression solemn.

Tianjiao City was the territory of the Demon Refining Sect, and Ning Wan’er believed that even if the demon from the Blood Lotus Sect had infiltrated the city, it couldn’t have been too many.

The entire Tianjiao City had a population of only a few hundred thousand; how could the Blood Lotus Sect infiltrate tens of thousands without being discovered?

The sea of red figures almost filled the entire field of vision of the city guards.

The thunderous roars and shouts echoed between heaven and earth.

“Rebirth through blood! Salvation to all sentient beings!”

“Rebirth through blood! Salvation to all sentient beings!”

The unified shouts of tens of thousands of people formed a wave of sound that reverberated through the city like thunder.

Li Muyang stood on the street where the blood mist had dissipated, his body rigid.

The moment the blood mist cleared, he distinctly felt many eyes and gazes fall upon him.

The combatants in front, the warriors of the Blood Lotus Sect, and the elders of the Demon Refining Sect, all stopped their movements and looked towards Li Muyang in the center of the street.

At Li Muyang’s feet lay three corpses with tragic deaths.

But the corpses were not the focus.

Behind Li Muyang, on the roof of a three-story building, stood a woman dressed as a man, Nangong Ting, with her hands behind her back, overlooking the situation below.

Six burly Blood Lotus Sect warriors guarded her, and below were hundreds of Blood Lotus Sect disciples waiting for orders.

The moment the blood mist dissipated, Li Muyang, who was between Nangong Ting and the Demon Refining Sect elders, suddenly became the focal point of everyone’s attention.

Nangong Ting, looking down from her high position, saw this scene, her heroic eyebrows slightly raised, and a cold smile appeared on her face.

“I thought you had gotten lost, Lord Li!”

“I didn’t expect to see you again.”

Nangong Ting laughed heartily.

From within the crowd, Yan Xiaoru spoke coldly.

“Li Muyang! What are you still standing there for? Come over here!”

Under the watchful eyes of all, Li Muyang in his white robe sighed deeply and slowly lowered his head.

“Nangong Ting...”

Li Muyang turned to look behind him at the three-story building and the heroic woman standing on the rooftop, as well as the hundreds of Blood Lotus Sect warriors waiting for orders, his expression calm.

“I didn’t expect you to truly be a demon of the Blood Lotus Sect...”

Caught in a dangerous situation, Li Muyang, to everyone’s surprise, showed no trace of fear on his face.

Standing alone in front of the dense crowd filling the street, Li Muyang’s arms hung by his sides, his eyes downcast.

He showed no intention of retreating.

What people heard was Li Muyang’s calm and indifferent voice.

“...Perhaps I should have killed you when you’re in the prison.”
