The fairies I flirted with in the game became real?!-Chapter 645: Tantai
Gliding swiftly with the Tunneling Light, Li Muyang was feeling solemn and, somewhat awkwardly, quite vexed.
He hadn’t expected that Yan Xiaoru’s demonization was triggered by the perceived death of him.
In the eyes of outsiders, he had mysteriously disappeared and his whereabouts were unknown.
But the ancestral Star-Leading Technique of Yan Xiaoru could precisely detect that he was not of the Mortal World?
I’ll be damned... he truly wasn’t in the Mortal World.
He had gone to The Peaceful Realms!
Yan Xiaoru’s ancestral Star-Leading Technique was overly specialized; it could only search the Mortal World and it failed to detect the presence of Li Muyang, who was in The Peaceful Realms.
Accurate and powerful, the technique nonetheless produced a tragically wrong answer.
This led Yan Xiaoru to utter despair and she turned to extremes.
The Demon Transformation Technique described in the Nether Demon Manual was indeed powerful, greatly enhancing a cultivator’s mana and cultivation in an extremely short period of time.
But the side effects were also severe.
This Demon Transformation Technique caused cultivators to undergo drastic changes in temperament, turning cruel and bloodthirsty, as the dark side of their psyche was thoroughly drawn out.
If the demonization progressed too far, it might even cultivate an evil second personality that could replace the original one.
It was akin to killing oneself...
Upon hearing from Aunt Su that Yan Xiaoru had resorted to the Demon Transformation Technique, Li Muyang was alarmed.
"This foolish woman, how can she be so prone to extremism?"
Now he was facing a real problem.
Li Muyang had never imagined that after his mysterious disappearance, Yan Xiaoru would actually have the ancestral Star-Leading Technique to determine whether he was still in the Mortal World.
And because the Mortal World had no trace of Li Muyang, she concluded that Li Muyang had died...
"The Demon Transformation Technique recorded in the Nether Demon Manual is extremely sinister and dangerous."
Li Muyang was troubled. "Indeed, I can’t see her immediately; given the influence of the Demon Transformation Technique, she must be frenzied and hypersensitive now."
"We need to find a way to dispel the Demon Transformation Technique..."
Li Muyang turned to Aunt Su and asked, "Aunt Su, did you come with Xiao Ru to the Arcane Ark?"
But Aunt Su shook her head: "No, after Miss became demonized, I left her."
"Miss, after demonization, became vicious and brutal, on the path to ruin. I couldn’t persuade her to stop, nor could I watch her perish, so I left her and came to the Arcane Ark to seek a cure."
"There is a reclusive cultivator in the Arcane Ark, an old friend of Miss’s father."
"She is now living in seclusion within Fuyun City, and after I found her, I have been staying in Fuyun City."
"I detected the scent of demon-summoning incense from outside the city and rushed to check, but unexpectedly discovered you, Brother-in-law, and Cheng Feiyang."
Aunt Su briefed him on the situation.
Li Muyang asked surprisedly, "Father’s friend of Xiao Ru? Who is it? Does she have a way to save Xiao Ru?"
The Demon Transformation Technique in the Nether Demon Manual is an irreversible evil art.
Once executed, there is almost no turning back.
At best, one could only control the extent of demonization, to prevent the birth of a second personality...
The three of them had now arrived outside Fuyun City.
Aunt Su looked at the towering ancient city ahead and said, "I’m not at liberty to divulge this senior’s revered name. If you’re curious, you can ask her in person later."
"What I can tell you is that this senior has deep connections with the Heavenly Machine Pavilion, and her cultivation is profound, entirely trustworthy."
"When Miss was young, I and Miss received much care from this senior."
"However, the senior enjoys tranquility and is not fond of worldly disturbances; thus, she’s unknown in the Cultivation World, and I’ve never mentioned her outside on behalf of Miss and myself."
Su Ayi’s words piqued Li Muyang’s curiosity even further.
Following behind Su Ayi, the three of them stepped into Fuyun City, discreetly weaving through streets and alleys, and finally arrived in front of a secluded small courtyard within the city.
This small courtyard seemed inconspicuous, resembling many similar courtyards scattered throughout Fuyun City.

Yet Su Ayi approached the courtyard gate with a solemn expression and knocked lightly on the door.
At the same time, Su Ayi began to speak, intending to say something: "Senior Dantai..."
But as soon as Su Ayi called out, a pleasant-sounding female voice came from within the courtyard.
"You have brought guests? Please invite them in."
"Since he is Xiao Ru’s husband, he is also a dear friend of mine; there is no need for too much explanation."
The woman’s voice allowed Su Ayi to let out a sigh of relief, clearly bringing Li Muyang back with her had put a great deal of psychological pressure on her.
And Li Muyang, who had been waiting at the entrance of the alley, was somewhat astonished.
— How did this woman know who he was?
Walking into the alley with Cheng Feiyang and following Su Ayi into the courtyard, what greeted their eyes was a very ordinary, commonplace civilian courtyard.
There were no luxurious treasures in the courtyard, nor any exotic beasts or cherished pets that often follow Great Cultivators.
A young girl in a bloodstained robe was standing in the center of the yard, vigorously brandishing a sharp knife as she trimmed the pork on the shore.
She was covered in dirt and blood, and with her crude movements and the foul stench in the courtyard, she was unmistakably akin to a butcher.
Except this butcher was not a burly, stout man, but a slender young woman.
However, although her figure was slender, her facial features were very ordinary; she could blend perfectly into a crowd on the street without attracting any attention.
Seeing such a dirty and uncouth butcher, Li Muyang and Cheng Feiyang at the doorway were both taken aback.
On the way here, Su Ayi had spoken of how powerful and mysterious this Senior was, leaving them full of expectations along the journey.
But now, having seen Senior Dantai in person, her appearance was so... simple.
Li Muyang was slightly hesitant, but still quickly performed a respectful salutation.
"Junior Li Muyang, greets Senior Dantai."
Li Muyang conducted the salutation with utmost politeness.
The other party was Yan Xiaoru’s elder, closely related to Heavenly Machine Pavilion, and was also a good friend of Yan Xiaoru’s father.
Such a person naturally commanded Li Muyang’s respect.
But the woman busy with the pork waved a dismissive hand and said, "We can do without those empty pleasantries. First close the door, then find a place to sit."
"I’m well aware of why you’ve come; I’ve also been troubled by this matter lately."
"This silly girl, Xiao Ru, went to extremes so easily, using the Demon Transformation Technique from the Nether Demon Manual. If I had known this would happen, I wouldn’t have passed the Nether Demon Manual to her in the first place."
The woman’s words shocked Li Muyang.
"Ah? The Nether Demon Manual is your secret technique?"
He had always thought it was a powerful demonic technique that Yan Xiaoru had dug up from the Heavenly Machine Pavilion’s legacy.
And now he learned that it was passed on by the woman in front of him?
But he saw the woman keep cutting the pork, while waving her blood-stained hand in denial: "It’s not my Cultivation Technique; I acquired it by accident when I was young."
"When I was young, I killed a demon and stumbled upon this demonic technique while searching through his lair."
"Indeed, this technique is powerful and well-suited for Xiao Ru’s constitution, so I passed it on to her."
"However, I never expected this foolish lass to do something stupid with the demonic technique. Had I known, I would have given her only a fragment of it from the start."
The steel knife in the woman’s hand danced, her movements flowing effortlessly as she sliced and partitioned the pork.
Soon, a large fat black-haired pig was skillfully dissected by her, with its different parts neatly arranged on a large chopping board.
