The fairies I flirted with in the game became real?!-Chapter 778: The Origin

In the empty and bizarre Demon Sword City, they actually ran into living people.

This was unexpected for both parties.

Not until the Sloppy Taoist and the young man Guan Xiaoshun came around the street corner did Li Muyang and his companions sense their presence.

It seemed that the Sloppy Taoist and Guan Xiaoshun also only noticed Li Muyang’s group the moment they collided into each other.

Both unprepared sides met each other by such a surprise.

The doubtful and shocked cries of the Sloppy Old Taoist further added a restless aura to the eerie scene.

Wei Suyi, holding a lantern, watched the Sloppy Old Taoist coldly and said: "You can actually discern the details of this lantern... It seems you’re not merely a simple deceiver."

Wei Suyi’s frosty words made the old Taoist’s skin crawl.

Full of suspicion and uncertainty, he stared at the old man in front of him and asked: "What exactly are you? Have you been following me?"

The old Taoist scanned the crowd and then noticed Li Muyang within the group.

He was extremely surprised: "Eh? Fellow Daoist? How come you’re here?"

Dong Xuanzi was incredibly astonished to encounter Li Muyang, the "old monster" who had taken possession of a new body.

Then he looked at the group of suspicious people traveling with Li Muyang...

Dong Xuanzi swallowed hard and said: "That... I didn’t mean to disturb you all, my apologies, we will leave now, we will leave right away."

Having said that, without waiting for Wei Suyi to say anything more, Dong Xuanzi dragged the young man Guan Xiaoshun away from the place.

However, the lantern-holding Wei Suyi did not stop them, but just watched indifferently as the two left, then continued walking forward with the lantern.

It was Xie Liuyun who looked at Li Muyang curiously and asked: "Who is this Sloppy Old Taoist? Do you know him?"

Qing Hui and Tuoba Lie also looked over.

Li Muyang said: "An old deceiver who swindles and bluffs in the Cultivation World; I’ve had some dealings with him in the past. I didn’t expect this old deceiver to come to Demon Sword City... "

While speaking, Li Muyang directly turned to look at Wei Suyi leading the way at the forefront and said: "Since we are all here, Wei Suyi, can you tell us where we are going? Demon Sword City is full of evil influences, are you sure the Ascendant came here?"

Li Muyang was the first to ask, and although the others did not speak, they also turned their attention to Wei Suyi.

The permeating evil throughout Demon Sword City made everyone feel uncomfortable.

Even without the sudden encounter with the Sloppy Old Taoist, they would have asked.

The gaunt old man holding a lantern under the night sky turned around coldly and said to all: "I believe you have all heard about some peculiarities of Demon Sword City, such as the ancient resentful spirits wandering in this city for thousands of years."

"Even after Ancestor of Demon Refinement suppressed and ruled over the city, those ancient resentful spirits have not disappeared."

"And in the vast Cultivation World, ancient cities and ruins passed down from ten thousand years ago are not uncommon, and there are even secret realms left by ancient immortals."

"But unlike other ancient ruins, only Demon Sword City has such wandering resentful spirits, making the ancient resentful spirits here uniquely special."

Wei Suyi spoke such chilling words, even though they were completely unrelated to Li Muyang’s question.

Nevertheless, Tuoba Lie still courteously frowned and asked: "So what’s in this city?"

Wei Suyi glanced at Tuoba Lie and lifted the lantern, continuing to speak.

"The calamity from ten thousand years ago, as well as our ultimate enemy, are unknown to the common folks, but surely all of you fellow practitioners are aware."

"Although this is the first meeting with Cang Su San, he was able to project the image of the Ancient Evil Gods; fundamental secrets from ten thousand years ago, such as our enemy from that time, he couldn’t possibly be unaware of, right?"

Wei Suyi looked towards Li Muyang.

Upon this, Li Muyang with the body of a two-year-old nodded: "I know a bit."

Only then did Wei Suyi turn around and looked towards the gloomy ancient city, saying: "The major enemy of the Netherworld, is the true perpetrator of the calamities afflicting the world."

The moment Wei Suyi’s voice fell, a fierce and terrifying ghostly soul suddenly howled out from the darkness, charging directly at Wei Suyi.

But Wei Suyi, as if anticipating this, raised the oil lamp in his hand. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

The light from the bronze oil lamp suddenly grew several times brighter, casting its dim yellow light on the ghostly figure that emerged from the darkness.

In an instant, that ghostly figure let out a pitiful scream, retreating backwards in agony, fleeing into the night.

Wei Suyi watched the direction in which the ghostly soul fled indifferently, saying: "And this Demon Sword City, is the place where ghostly gods from the Netherworld once dwelled."

"Ten thousand years ago, after the fall of the Jade Immortal, the Mo Immortal took control of this city, which led to the siege of ghostly gods from the Netherworld."

"In the end, the city perished, becoming a den for ghostly gods of the Netherworld, and all life within the city was slaughtered by the Netherworld. Influenced by the power of the Netherworld, the souls of those who died tragically within the city remain undispersed to this day, appearing every time night falls."

"This Demon Sword City, although it is part of the Mortal World’s land, had already been contaminated by ghostly gods from the Netherworld ten thousand years ago, barely distinguishable from the underworld."

"As beings of the Mortal World, we really should not come to Demon Sword City, staying here for long affects one’s own cultivation."

"But the current situation is perilous, with Ascendants lurking in the shadows, brutal and unpredictable, and so this Demon Sword City has just become the only place in the world where one can avoid the Ascendants."

"Because the power of the Ascendant comes from heaven and earth, his tendrils can only spread over the land of the Mortal World, unable to influence the Netherworld, and naturally, they can’t affect this ancient city either."

"Just as Cang Su San has questioned, the Ascendant couldn’t possibly come here, it seems our mysterious companion knows even more than we do."

Having said this, Wei Suyi gave Li Muyang a deep look.

The other Immortal Artifact Masters also looked at Li Muyang with surprise.

At this moment, Li Muyang felt somewhat vexed—The question I asked was just casual, why the hell are you elaborating so much?

But Wei Suyi only glanced at Li Muyang and didn’t inquire further, instead continuing on his own accord.

"Yet the Ascendants, who shouldn’t appear in Demon Sword City, have left behind traces... This is highly unusual! Completely irrational!"

"I need the power of all of you to assist, relying solely on my own strength, it is difficult to trace the source."

After stating his reasons, Wei Suyi turned around and left.

Qing Hui slightly frowned: "This place has been contaminated by the Netherworld... "

Xie Liuyun whispered in surprise: "So that’s the origin of the ancient spirits of resentment in Demon Sword City..."

Tuoba Lie, however, remained silent and indifferent.

The group continued onward, falling back into silence.

This was the first time Li Muyang learned about the source of the unusual occurrences in Demon Sword City; he hadn’t expected this place to have been contaminated by the power of the Netherworld.

Thinking carefully, he had encountered ancient spirits causing trouble the first time he visited Demon Sword City.

But back then, with low cultivation and limited insight, he didn’t think too much of it.

Looking back now, it was indeed abnormal.

However, after the Jade Immortal’s fall, even the Mo Immortal couldn’t protect Nanjiang City... alas...

Li Muyang felt a tinge of sorrow.
