The Game with Fairies

Chapter 214

Inside Tianjiao City, Shen Yan heard an extremely strange piece of news.

“Report! Miss, we’ve spotted the whereabouts of Demonic Sect disciple Li Muyang in the wilderness.”

“He voluntarily approached the outskirts of Sishui City, claiming he wants to join our sect!”

Inside the city lord’s mansion, while Shen Yan was troubled by how to mediate the conflict between the two Helmsmen, she suddenly heard such news.

The young girl behind the desk lifted her head, her brows slightly furrowed.

“…Li Muyang?”

Shen Yan’s puzzled expression seemed to doubt whether she had heard correctly.

The Li Muyang who had been missing for over a month had suddenly reappeared?

And not only did he show up, but he also came to surrender, wanting to join our sect?

“Say that again?” Shen Yan wondered if she was hallucinating due to recent fatigue.

That Martial God Tyrant Body who had fled into the deep mountains and wilderness had vanished without a trace.

As long as he was cautious enough, the Blood Lotus Sect could not find him.

Facing the relentless assaults from the Demon Refining Sect, the Blood Lotus Sect currently couldn’t spare the manpower to search for him.

The man had hidden for over a month; why would he suddenly come down from the mountain to surrender?

And the subordinate’s repeated report confirmed that this news was not a hallucination.

The Martial God Tyrant Body, who had escaped into the mountains and been missing for a month, had indeed voluntarily come down from the mountain to surrender.

This news made Shen Yan’s brows instantly knit together.

After pondering for a few seconds, she said, “Go and ask Banner Master Qu to come here and handle today’s affairs for me. I want to go to Sishui City myself to meet this Li Muyang.”

Soon, Shen Yan left Tianjiao City under the escort of four hundred demon beast cavalry, heading straight for Sishui City three hundred li away.

Banner Master Ruan Mei, who accompanied her, was somewhat puzzled.

“Miss, why do you want to go to Sishui City yourself?”

Ruan Mei’s eyes were filled with confusion: “Wouldn’t it be enough to have Huang Chengtao from Sishui City bring the person over?”

Tianjiao City was currently overwhelmed with affairs, many of which required Shen Yan’s personal decision.

Yet Shen Yan had left so many sect matters unattended to personally make a trip three hundred li away… Such behavior was puzzling.

Even though that Martial God Tyrant Body was indeed somewhat special, it didn’t seem to warrant such attention, did it?

Faced with Ruan Mei’s confusion, Shen Yan in the carriage wrapped herself tightly in her thick cloak and exhaled a breath of cold air.

“Actually, I’m tired too…”

Shen Yan watched the mountains on both sides of the official road rapidly recede from view, rubbing her temples with a bitter smile and whispered.

“It’s a good opportunity to get some fresh air.”

Shen Yan’s tone was calm, revealing nothing of her inner thoughts.

But obviously, this was not the real reason.

Seeing that the young lady did not wish to elaborate, Banner Master Ruan Mei did not press further.

She tightened the reins in her hands, urging her demon beast to speed up to the front of the procession, leading the way for Shen Yan.

……

The three hundred li were not a short distance, but the demon beast cavalry was extremely fast, and within half an hour, Shen Yan arrived at Sishui City. ?????Ê?

Outside Sishui City, she saw the Demonic Sect disciple surrounded by followers of the Blood Lotus Sect.

Under the scorching sun, a young man in a white robe sat on the ridge outside the city, ignoring the hundreds of Blood Lotus Sect followers around him, quietly observing the city before him.

Compared to a month ago on Pingyang Hill, the young man who had fled into the wilderness for a month seemed a bit more haggard.

His figure was concealed under the white robe of the Demon Refining Sect, hiding the well-defined muscles, showing none of the ferocity and violence he had displayed on Pingyang Hill.

That handsome and gentle smile made him seem like those pampered and elegant young masters, as gentle as jade.

Huang Chengtao, stationed in Sishui City, was now donning his armor and wielding his sword, standing in the distance with a look of shock and suspicion, vigilantly watching the young man in white sitting by the roadside.

The name Li Muyang had gained a certain level of notoriety among the upper echelons of the Blood Lotus Sect.

Huang Chengtao had also heard of this person’s ferocious and brutal deeds on Pingyang Hill.

Therefore, although the young man appeared frail and modest, Huang Chengtao still dared not approach, and he didn’t even dare to provoke him, only ordering his subordinates to surround him.

The fact that the other party could charge down from Pingyang Hill alone, unstoppable by tens of thousands of troops, meant that his own forces in Sishui City might not really be able to handle him.

Now, seeing the dust rising on the distant official road and the sight of four hundred beast cavalry charging fiercely, Huang Chengtao finally breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly rode forward.

“Greetings, Banner Master Ruan!”

After respectfully saluting, Huang Chengtao noticed that the beast cavalry were protecting a carriage in their midst.

Beasts pulled the carriage, which had a lotus flag hanging from its eaves.

The grandeur of this procession… took Huang Chengtao by surprise.

“Miss Shen is here too?”

When the carriage guarded by the beast cavalry arrived outside Sishui City, the door of the exquisite, sturdy, and luxurious carriage opened, and the legendary Miss Shen stepped down from the carriage.

She exchanged a few simple words with Huang Chengtao with a smile, asking about the situation.

Then she walked straight towards the young man in white sitting on the roadside ridge.

Seeing the young lady take such a risk, Ruan Mei was startled.

“Miss!”

She tried to stop her.

The Demonic Sect youth before them was full of vigor, with a physique terrifying like a demon, capable of charging through an army of thousands. And here was their young lady, walking straight up to him.

If he were to attack, it would be extremely dangerous!

But Shen Yan was resolute.

“Aunt Mei, don’t worry.”

Shen Yan said softly, looking at the young man on the ridge: “There’s no danger.”

Saying this, Shen Yan stubbornly pushed past Ruan Mei, who was blocking the way and made her way through the crowd to the empty ridge.

She stood by the roadside, bathed in sunlight, looking at the young man in white sitting on the ridge.

The distance between them was now less than ten steps.

Ruan Mei and Huang Chengtao hurriedly followed, guarding Shen Yan on either side.

Shen Yan, however, was looking at the young man on the ridge, smiling.

“Li Muyang, we meet for the first time… I heard that you want to come to our Blood Lotus Sect to be an undercover agent?”

The girl spoke a terrifyingly direct statement.

The young man on the ridge was stunned, looking at her in surprise and asking, “Who are you?”

Where did this woman come from?

She just blurted out my purpose as soon as she opened her mouth.

With such a weak physique, she couldn’t possibly be one of the seven Helmsmen of the Blood Lotus Sect.

But her entourage seemed no less significant than that of a Helmsman.

Li Muyang was curious.

But he saw Shen Yan quietly looking at him, smiling and saying, “You don’t know me, but you should have heard my name.”

“My name is Shen Yan, and the order to besiege you at the foot of Pingyang Hill was given by me.”

Li Muyang’s eyebrows rose slightly: “It was you?”

So this girl, with no trace of cultivation and a murky aura like a mortal, was the one who had besieged him for more than ten days at the foot of Pingyang Hill.

This time, Li Muyang finally met the person responsible.

But she was not quite what he had imagined.

A woman who could control the Helmsmen of the Blood Lotus Sect, even offering a hefty price, with high prestige within the sect… turned out to be such a frail young girl?
