The fairies I flirted with in the game became real?!-Chapter 693: The Wicked Old Woman
In the final level of "Deadly Little Wild Grass," Jiang Xiaoyu suddenly died a violent death and could no longer continue exploring the game content.
Subsequent parts of the game no longer linked to ancient times, and Li Muyang encountered danger after danger, leaving no time to ponder further.
Now, looking at the mural on the bronze coffin, Li Muyang finally thought of something.
That is, the members of the Evil Vein Clan are all short-lived ghosts, with no possibility of cultivating immortality.
Yet Granny Gu, a descendant of the Evil Vein, lived for hundreds of years without dying, surviving until the era when Nanjiang City was under the awe of the Jade Immortal.
Her lifespan was strangely long.
In the end, she died with Little Wild Grass in The Peaceful Realms, which was even more peculiar.
What was Little Wild Grass doing in The Peaceful Realms with her? No reason at all.
From the content of the mural on the bronze coffin, it seemed more like Little Wild Grass went to The Peaceful Realms to kill Granny Gu and died there...
"Damn it, don't tell me Granny Gu was a traitor?"
Li Muyang muttered to himself.
Previously, when he saw the corpses of Granny Gu and Little Wild Grass in The Peaceful Realms, he thought the two had fought side by side and died a tragic death there.
When the Evil Vein heirloom magical treasure, the Red Evil Bell, flew into Li Muyang's hands, he even bowed to Granny Gu's corpse to show his respect.
Had he gotten it wrong?
Had Granny Gu actually betrayed them?
"...No way, what good would it do for Granny Gu to betray?"
Li Muyang continued to fly around the bronze coffin, his face filled with confusion.
But the carvings after that didn't concern Little Wild Grass or Granny Gu anymore.
On the bronze mural, there were scenes of mountains collapsing, valleys drying up, and all beings weeping in blood—a clear depiction of a dark catastrophe descending upon the world.
The subsequent mural details the past events that occurred inside the ark from beyond this world.
It included the Evil Spirits of The Peaceful Realms infiltrating, curses spreading, the Yellow Robed Immortal sealing the ark, trapping everyone to death, and finally abandoning his cultivation and mana, merging with the ark...

"Still, it didn't mention what's inside the coffin."
Li Muyang's brows were tightly furrowed.
He finished reading the last mural on the bronze coffin and continued to search for a way to open it.
But just at that moment, the bronze coffin bound by chains suddenly began to shake violently.
Following that, the void above Li Muyang's head changed with the winds and clouds.
Red clouds like blazing flames appeared above the coffin, and the cold, piercing laughter of a woman echoed in the heavens.
Hearing this horrific laughter, Li Muyang's hair stood on end in an instant.
"Fuck!" Wasn't this the same commotion when the Red Evil Bell was used to summon the Evil God?
But the Red Evil Bell was now with its original owner in The Peaceful Realms; he hadn't used the Red Evil Bell either.
Why would such a disturbance occur in the secret realm of the ark beyond this world?
Li Muyang was dumbstruck.
He looked up at the sky above, and sure enough, he saw the exact same scene.
—A ghastly, penetrating finger descended from the sky and fiercely landed on the bronze coffin.
The next second, the bronze coffin bound by massive iron chains trembled violently, and a layer of fine ice crystals formed on the surface of the coffin.
Then, the ghastly woman's finger retracted, and a deep indentation appeared on the indestructible bronze coffin, with cracks spreading out from the indentation like a spiderweb.
A chilling, ominous death aura leaked out from the cracks of the coffin.
One by one, fierce and hideous faces screamed as they squeezed their way out of the bronze coffin.
These hideous and ferocious faces gradually merged together, forming the figure of a pale-faced, hollow-eyed old crone.
Granny Gu, the last descendent of the Ancient Evil Vein, ruler of Black Cloud Fort.
This mysterious elder, whose physical body had perished eons ago, had her remnant soul ooze out and congeal from a coffin within the Ark's world.
But staring at the chilling, creepy old crone before him, Li Muyang felt not the slightest joy of reunion, but instead his body broke out in goosebumps, and his pupils suddenly contracted.
The monster standing before him, although wearing Granny Gu's appearance, was not Granny Gu at all!
It was a conglomeration of the Evil God's aura.
Clearly, Granny Gu, who had suppressed the Evil God all her life, was devoured by the Ancient Evil Gods of the Ancient Resentment Well at the very last moment of her life.
The Evil Gods devoured Granny Gu's will, consumed her soul, and took over her body!
Even the remnant soul was an ugly puppet formed by the conglomeration of the Evil Gods' aura.
Realizing Granny Gu's plight, Li Muyang's eyes flashed with a tinge of blood red.
He too was of the Evil Vein Clan, and had personally experienced the terror of these Evil Gods in the game.
He could not imagine how agonizing it must have been for Granny Gu in that moment when she was consumed by the Ancient Evil Gods at the last moment of her life.
To personally witness a somewhat friendly elder in such a tragic situation, and then for those culprits to actually appear before him...
Li Muyang, staring intently at the old crone before him, did not hesitate to unleash the Destruction Wheel.
The deep blue light transformed into crisscrossing blades, mercilessly slicing towards the phantom of the old crone.
In the void, the evil old crone who had struggled free from the bronze coffin burst into cold laughter.
Seeing Li Muyang's attack, she laughed even louder.
"…Oh! Isn't this Jiang Xiaoyu!"
"After ten thousand years, you really have returned from the dead?"
"But what a pity, you're too late! What's the use of returning now?"
"Black Cloud Fort is destroyed, the Ancient Evil Vein is nearly extinct, and your Little Wild Grass, Granny Gu, all of them died miserably."
"Especially that Little Wild Grass, she was calling out your name loudly as she died! Hahaha..."
The evil old crone's laughter was shrill and unsettling, her ugly, mocking laughter piercing Li Muyang's heart like a sharp knife.
Knowing full well that this monster was fabricating lies to disturb his mind, Li Muyang still could not suppress the rising fury within his heart.
His blood seemed to surge towards his head.
His eyes bloodshot, he fixed his gaze on the old monster before him, his profound grief and hatred transforming into a roar.
"Fuck you!"
At this moment, Li Muyang held nothing back.
The Destruction Wheel rose thunderously before him, its brilliant blue glow turning into hundreds of light columns, furiously bombarding the evil old crone.
Simultaneously, Li Muyang formed a hand seal with one hand, causing a red bell that kept trembling to rise from his palm.
The Red Evil Bell jingled, its crisp bell sound echoing under the blood-red sun.
The sky above cracked open once again, and a pale finger descended from the heavens.
The same finger which had shattered the bronze coffin and released the evil old crone now reappeared.
But its target was the same kind it had released!
Li Muyang's body was being madly drained of blood energy.
The skin of a two-year-old child nearly turned into a husk in an instant.
Yet he was not afraid, opening the Qiankun Ring and frantically tossing in Spiritual Medicine to replenish his blood energy.
At the same time, his eyes unwaveringly fixed on the evil old crone in front of him, he controlled the power of the Red Evil Bell.
Only when the pale finger struck down, crushing the old crone's phantom that the Destruction Wheel had driven into a corner with no escape, did Li Muyang finally dissipate the power of the Red Evil Bell.
