The fairies I flirted with in the game became real?!-Chapter 768: The Nightmare Ghost Legend

On the official road, the atmosphere was somewhat bizarre.

Li Muyang’s gaze was strangely fixed on the headless saint monk before him, suspecting that the old demon might have come to provoke and test him.

You damn well know I’m going to chop you down, yet you still come offer guidance and help?

However, the headless saint monk just laughed happily, brought his hands together in a gesture of prayer, and said.

"This monk has said all there is to say, please proceed, layman."

After speaking, the headless saint monk, carrying his own head, turned around and left, looking rather nonchalant.

The driver, Ding Liang, watched the old demon’s departing figure with great admiration.

"Liao Kong Saint Monk truly possesses an extraordinary demeanor, genuinely humbling indeed."

Li Muyang rolled his eyes but didn’t say much else.

"Let’s continue the pursuit and kill the Nightmare Ghost," Li Muyang urged Ding Liang to press on.

At the same time, he strengthened the horse carriage with the Seven-Colored Glazed Staff in his hand.

Soon, bolstered by the power of the Seven-Colored Glazed Staff, the exhausted horse sped up and caught up with the fleeing Nightmare Ghost.

The old man in the jar constantly corrected their course, finally cornering the Nightmare Ghost in a primeval forest.

Seeing no way out, the Nightmare Ghost turned around and tore off his human skin disguise, revealing his true form.

"Damn Puppet Master!" the Nightmare Ghost roared furiously: "You press me hard, chasing us down here, have the guts to put down that staff and fight me fair and square! What kind of hero relies on external power!"

The remaining six Nightmare Ghosts were all more powerful than Li Muyang, vastly surpassing him.

But faced with the Seven-Colored Glazed Staff in Li Muyang’s hands, they had no temper to speak of.

To this, Li Muyang couldn’t be bothered with banter, and directly led the Princess of the Defunct Country into the fray.

The LV73 Princess of the Defunct Country was no longer the weak puppet; the demonic light released from her eyes could petrify all creatures.

The Snake Hair bursting from her head, each strand comparable to a demonic beast.

Additionally, the suppression of the Seven-Colored Glazed Staff on the Nightmare Ghost meant this cornered Nightmare Ghost ultimately screamed tragically as it was devoured by the Princess of the Defunct Country.

The level of the Princess of the Defunct Country rose once again.

LV73→LV77.

The further back the Nightmare Ghosts, the stronger they are, and the more Experience Points they yield once killed.

Li Muyang had estimated that at this rate of leveling up, after slaying all Nightmare Ghosts, the Princess of the Defunct Country would reach the top level of LV99.

This group of Nightmare Ghosts seemed to be specially prepared leveling material for the Princess of the Defunct Country.

This was certainly no coincidence.

"Let’s go, we’ll hunt for the next Nightmare Ghost."

Li Muyang and his group continued on their way, without the slightest delay.

The tip-off from Miao Fengjun gave Li Muyang a vague premonition.

The Princess of the Defunct Country must return to her homeland, but before that, her level must be maxed out.

At the very least, they have to slay all the Nightmare Ghosts and unlock the next round of main quests.

And the next round of main quests might just be the real starting point of this game "Buddha’s Heart Demon."

Just like in some online games he played in a previous life, things only truly started after leveling to the cap.

Fortunately, with the Seven-Colored Glazed Staff gifted by Miao Fengjun, Li Muyang was now effortlessly combating the Nightmare Ghosts.

And with the old man serving as a locator guiding the way, Li Muyang could find the group of Nightmare Ghosts no matter how far they fled to the ends of the world.

In the midst of hunting Nightmare Ghosts, Li Muyang ran into several Puppet Masters from Black Feather Pavilion.

These Black Feather Pavilion Puppet Masters were indeed domineering; as soon as they spotted Li Muyang, they immediately gathered forces to encircle and attempt to slay him in a case of overwhelming numbers, giving no chance for Li Muyang to argue.

They clearly seemed accustomed to throwing their weight around.

Unfortunately, Li Muyang was even more domineering.

Swinging the colorful glaze staff, streaks of divine light swept across everything.

Although the divine light wasn’t highly lethal, the suppressive power was at its peak, paired with the ferocity of the level seventy-something Princess of the Defunct Country, Li Muyang himself was not an easy opponent either.

All the Puppet Masters of the Black Feather Pavilion who tried to besiege Li Muyang were cruelly slaughtered by him and handed over to the Princess of the Defunct Country for devouring.

Where Li Muyang went, he unleashed a whirlwind of bloodshed.

Thus, within the marketplace of the Ancient Resentment Well, the legend of a terrifying mysterious person who specialized in killing Puppet Masters rapidly spread.

Li Muyang paid no mind to this.

The main character of the game only needed to defeat the BOSS and clear the instance.

In his relentless pursuit, the remaining Yaoguai were caught up to, one by one, and slain by Li Muyang.

The last Yaoguai even hid within the corpse mountain mist of the north, attempting to use the eerie mist to block Li Muyang’s path.

Regrettably, as a member of the Evil Vein Clan, Li Muyang moved freely among the seas of blood and mountains of corpses.

To him, the terrifying and strange corpse mountain mist felt like returning home, as natural as a fish in water.

Li Muyang, holding the colorful glaze staff, bearing the jar sealing the Black Tortoise Grandfather, appeared in the mist of the corpse mountain with a chilling gaze.

Among the hills crawling with monstrous maggots three zhang long, the last Yaoguai howled pitifully.

"What are you exactly? Why are you relentlessly pursuing us!"

The last Yaoguai howled in anger: "There are so many evil spirits and monsters in this world, we have had no grudges in the past, nor recent hatreds, why must you annihilate us!"

"I am the last Yaoguai, you cannot kill me!"

"If you kill me, disaster will befall this world!"

The last Yaoguai struggled against the colorful divine light, pushed to the brink of extinction by a combined assault from Li Muyang and the Princess of the Defunct Country.

The other Puppet Masters were in the back buffing and controlling Puppets.

But Li Muyang joined the fight personally, two against one with the Puppet.

His powerful combat experience allowed him to exhibit a strength far surpassing the physical capabilities of that Puppet Master body.

Cornered and desperate, the Yaoguai bellowed and roared, threatening and intimidating, attempting to beg for its life.

Li Muyang, however, had a detached gaze and said: "The disaster you speak of is just that legend."

The archives of the Red Mountain Academic Palace recorded the peculiar creatures known as Yaoguai.

These creatures, capable of roaming during the day, would occasionally descend upon the world, cause some chaos, and then mysteriously disappear.

It is said they are pets of a supreme being, and whenever this mysterious entity rests, the Yaoguai would stealthily slip into the mortal world to wreak havoc. When the entity was about to awaken, the Yaoguai would flee back to heaven.

The Yaoguai are united in heart, connected at the root; as long as one Yaoguai lives, the rest can be resurrected.

But if all Yaoguai are killed, it will rouse that mysterious entity, provoking its wrath.

Once that mysterious entity descends upon the world, it will spread disaster across the mortal plane.

This legend was circulated on a small scale within the Ancient Resentment Well.

However, the records of the Red Mountain Academic Palace indicated that there were three instances in history where all Yaoguai were killed, all by the Nightwalker clan.

This group of Yaoguai seemed to be the nemesis of the Nightwalker clan.

And following the three occurrences when the Yaoguai were wiped out, the so-called catastrophic disasters did not happen.

Therefore, the Jiang Family believed that the legend of a mysterious entity being roused by the killing of all Yaoguai was a rumor based on misinformation.

And Li Muyang was unconcerned.

Even if a mysterious entity really did come to be, as long as it descended into the Ancient Resentment Well and showed its health bar, there must be a way to defeat it.

The most powerful Evil Gods within the Ancient Resentment Well were only those few, all of whom Li Muyang had encountered before.
