The Game with Fairies

Chapter 213

In the forest, Li Muyang’s figure quietly climbed down from the cliff, moving as nimbly as a monkey without making a sound.

When he suddenly landed next to the white-robed disciple, he gave the person quite a fright.

“Whoaa… Li! Senior Brother Li?!”

The white-robed disciple, startled by the sudden appearance of Li Muyang, almost jumped out of his skin.

Only after clearly seeing Li Muyang’s face did he breathe a sigh of relief.

He hurriedly said, “Senior Brother Li, my name is Zhou Jing. I have been sent by the sect leader to find you…”

Li Muyang looked at the inner disciple in front of him, who was treating him with great respect, feeling somewhat puzzled.

“Find me for what?”

The inner disciple who called himself Zhou Jing carefully took out a ring and said to Li Muyang.

“The sect leader only said to hand this ring to Senior Brother. Inside, there is a personal letter from the sect leader and Elder Yan. You’ll understand once you read it.”

Hearing this, Li Muyang took the ring with a composed expression, showing no surprise at the mention of a personal letter from “Elder Yan.”

Holding the low-quality Qiankun Ring, he looked at the white-robed disciple in front of him.

“Did the sect leader have any other instructions? Are you sent by the sect leader to help me?”

Li Muyang didn’t expect that the Demon Refining Sect could find his exact location and even use the same kind of earth escape talisman that was used to rescue Yan Xiaoru.

The Demonic Sect is sparing no expense… It seems this mission will be quite difficult.

But he didn’t immediately read the letter. Instead, he first probed the person in front of him.

Zhou Jing gave a sheepish smile and said, “The sect leader said that the mission for Senior Brother Li is fraught with peril, and only you can complete it. He told me to find Senior Brother Li and then go into hiding.”

“Once the Demonic Sect defeats the heretics of the Blood Lotus Sect, I can return to the sect.”

Very well, this guy is just another disposable pawn.

The Demonic Sect doesn’t care if he can make it back alive or not.

Li Muyang nodded, indicating he understood.

“Then you go hide, there are many places to conceal yourself in this wilderness. If you’re cautious enough, you won’t be caught by the Blood Lotus Sect.”

Li Muyang gave this pitiful pawn a bit of experienced advice.

If Zhou Jing is careful enough, he should be able to hide for a long time.

After watching this disposable pawn disappear into the forest, Li Muyang finally took out the contents of the Qiankun Ring.

Two letters, a talisman, and a small wooden box.

These were all the things that the Demon Refining Sect’s leader had sent to Li Muyang.

Upon opening the letter personally written by the sect leader, Li Muyang understood the whole situation.

Over the past month, not all disciples of the Demonic Sect had chosen to lie low and wait like Li Muyang had.

A total of seven Demonic Sect disciples had managed to escape this area and return to the Demonic Sect.

Among them was Li Muyang’s old friend Cheng Feiyang.

Led by Cheng Feiyang, these seven Demonic Sect cultivators had survived the life-and-death ordeal on Pingyang Hill and all spoke highly of Li Muyang.

Through their accounts, the Blood Lotus Sect’s high regard for Li Muyang also became known to the upper echelons of the Demonic Sect.

At a time when the Demonic Sect’s offensive was not going well, the Demonic Sect’s powers discovered that the followers of the Blood Lotus Sect seemed to be inexhaustible, which was somewhat strange. ?â???Ë?

Therefore, the sect leader of the Demonic Sect issued an order for Li Muyang, who was still lying low on the Blood Lotus Sect’s territory, to come down from the mountain and surrender to the Blood Lotus Sect.

He was commanded to find out the reason why the followers of the Blood Lotus Sect could not be exterminated and to cooperate from within, helping the Demonic Sect to quell the Blood Lotus Sect’s unrest.

The talisman that came with the letter, as well as the treasure passed down from the Demonic Sect’s ancestors, could allow Li Muyang to evade the blood oath and not be bound by the Blood Lotus Sect’s blood oath.

The accompanying small wooden box could send letters to the Demonic Sect through space every three days, unaffected by the spiritual energy blockade in this area.

“…If this matter is successful, you will be promoted to a direct disciple of the Hall of Enforcement, with monthly spiritual offerings and elder-level treatment, and you will be rewarded with a high-grade spiritual weapon.”

The personal letter from the leader of the Demon Refining Sect offered rewards that were so generous they were dazzling.

From an ordinary inner disciple to a direct disciple… This treatment was a three-level jump, almost the highest level of treatment Li Muyang could currently receive.

And to enjoy elder-level treatment with monthly spiritual offerings… How wealthy Elder Yan Xiaoru was as an elder was plainly visible.

If Li Muyang could receive elder-level treatment, the high-grade spiritual rice he would receive each month would be considered the lowest tier among the spiritual medicines.

Plus, a high-grade spiritual weapon, which is almost exclusively for elders.

Even in the entire cultivation world, high-grade spiritual weapons are quite rare, but now one is being offered as a reward to an inner disciple.

Even the talisman crafted by the founding ancestor was brought out…

“Gong Yanghong must be desperate…”

Li Muyang murmured to himself.

He knew that the Demonic Sect sect leader was very concerned about his face, but he didn’t expect that just one month of unsuccessful siege would make him so anxious.

Offering such a high reward was intended to persuade Li Muyang to come down from the mountain and surrender and become an inside agent for the Blood Lotus Sect.

Joining the Blood Lotus Sect required a blood oath, and once taken, it was impossible to betray the sect.

However, the ancestral talisman given by Gong Yanghong solved this problem, allowing Li Muyang to be a double agent with peace of mind.

“But this letter from Yan Xiaoru…”

Li Muyang hesitated for a while before opening the handwritten letter from Yan Xiaoru.

The letter that came with Gong Yanghong was probably meant to persuade Li Muyang to obey, right?

As expected, when Li Muyang opened the envelope, he saw the graceful handwriting filling the page, all from the perspective of the sect’s interests, comforting and encouraging Li Muyang, hoping he would accept this challenging mission and make a contribution to the sect.

This was very much in line with Yan Xiaoru’s identity.

In such a situation, she could only write such a…

Before Li Muyang could finish his thought, the letter in his hand suddenly ignited with a faint blue flame.

These tiny blue flames danced on the paper, burning off the words one by one.

In the end, on the now blank piece of paper, only twelve scattered words remained unburned.

These twelve words formed two simple and straightforward sentences.

?I was wrong, come back soon?

?I can protect you?

Seeing these words, Li Muyang was stunned.

He hadn’t expected that the handwritten letter from Yan Xiaoru would contain such a trick.

Clearly, these last words were Yan Xiaoru’s true thoughts.

—She didn’t want Li Muyang to take risks.

She even wanted Li Muyang to refuse the sect leader’s orders, promising to protect him if he disobeyed.

Seeing the remaining words on the letter, a smile appeared on Li Muyang’s face, and a warm current surged in his heart.

“…This foolish woman.”

Finally realized your mistake, huh?

You ran off so quickly back then, arranging everything for me without asking for my opinion.

Now you realize your mistake? It’s too late!

I’m now in a predicament, unable to advance or retreat, all because of you!

Foolish woman!

Don’t think I will forgive you just because you’ve apologized.

Next time we meet, I said I would hit and make your bottom swell, and I will keep my word!

Li Muyang let out a sigh and lit the two letters in his hand.

After a brief tidy up, Li Muyang turned and walked down the mountain.

Blood Lotus Sect, you’ve always wanted to force me to join you, right?

Fine, I’m coming now!

This time, I will satisfy you thoroughly so as not to waste your efforts in disturbing my peaceful life!
