“You’re an Ascender! If I eat you, I can beco immortal!”
“Hahaha! If I eat you, I can beco immortal!”
Upon seeing Li Muyang, the demonic woman in the cage beca even more frenzied.
She frantically slashed, pounded, and ramd against the iron cage, trying to escape from her prison.
Her mad and demonic behavior was identical to another demonic woman from the Mother Buddha Temple that Li Muyang had previously slain.
Li Muyang watched the demonic woman speechlessly and asked,
“Who exactly are you? Why do you misuse the na of Fairy Liuli?”
Fairy Liuli was a disciple of Master Qingye, but she was not the most famous.
There were many disciples of the Mystic Sword Sect that the evil spirits from beyond the border could impersonate, so why always choose to impersonate Chu Qingxue?
Li Muyang always felt there was a problem with this.
However, no matter how he questioned her, the woman in the cage remained wildly agitated and incoherent, making it impossible to communicate with her.
After thrashing around in the cage for a while, she seed to have exhausted her energy and suddenly collapsed, motionless as if dead.
When the demonic woman slept, there was no sign of life, almost as if she were dead.
As Li Muyang looked at this strange demonic woman, he heard the curious voice of the Moon-Biting Dragon.
“…these people from the Mother Buddha Temple are so strange, are they all mad?”
“And Li Muyang, what is an Ascender? Eating you can make one immortal? Is your flesh that powerful?”
The Dragon Maiden seed tempted, her words filled with curiosity:
“How much do you have to eat to beco immortal? Besides flesh, can saliva, nails, hair, and even dandruff make one immortal if eaten?”
In an instant, the Dragon Maiden thought of a whole array of 【Edible】 options.
Li Muyang had a face full of black lines.
“She was raving about your body, okay?”
“If eating could make one immortal, it would be by eating your flesh.”
“But you haven’t beco immortal yourself, so how can eating your flesh make one immortal? It’s a paradox!”
It’s a cliche, but this Dragon Maiden was simply big-breasted and brainless, amusingly naive.
Seeing that the demonic woman was beyond communication, Li Muyang didn’t bother to waste words.
He simply ordered General Crab to slay her.
Li Muyang didn’t plan to eat such a strange thing.
He always felt that the demonic won from the Mother Buddha Temple were not clean and feared it would upset his stomach.
However, the White Bone Tai Sui that the demonic woman carried with her was swallowed by Li Muyang in one gulp.
Since the demonic woman was not strong, the White Bone Tai Sui she carried was only a small clump, and swallowing it did not increase his cultivation by much.
Li Muyang watched as the 【Experience 10】 kept flickering and moving in his field of vision.
“I’m going to venture beyond the border. You all will guard the Dragon Palace. If any evil spirits appear in the Yushui River region, you are to confidently go and capture them.”
“If you encounter an evil creature that you cannot defeat, do not engage it. Wait for my return.”
After giving a brief instruction to the shrimp soldiers and crab generals, Li Muyang prepared to leave the border.
He was aiming for a fast pace.
He had barely been in the Dragon Palace for fifteen minutes, had finished eating all the evil creatures, and hadn’t even ward his seat before he was ready to leave the border.
The shrimp soldiers and crab generals bowed and escorted Li Muyang out of the Dragon Palace.
But as he was about to leave, Li Muyang was surprised to see a familiar figure among the demon soldiers.
A semi-transparent weasel ghost, dazed and confused, followed behind Li Muyang, intending to accompany him on his journey.
This weasel’s soul had always been dazed and confused, staying motionless within the Dragon Palace.
However, the abundant power of the water veins here seed to nourish its soul.
Moreover, the foundation stone of the Dragon Palace was the miraculous Temple Seal Lord’s brow bone, which allowed the weasel’s soul within the Dragon Palace to visibly solidify quite a bit.
Although still dazed and confused, it was no longer as transparent as before.
Li Muyang was surprised to see the weasel’s soul follow him, but at that mont, a system prompt popped up.
【Side Quest: The Last Wish of Returning Ho】
【Quest Content: Send the lost soul ho, let the fallen leaves return to their roots】
【Quest Reward: None】
This weasel’s soul had actually triggered a system prompt, popping up a side quest.
However, this side quest had no rewards.
But looking at the dazed and confused weasel in front of him, Li Muyang sighed.
“Do you want to go ho…”
This unfortunate weasel was originally dragged out of the border by a wandering immortal, a purely unlucky creature.
Later, it inexplicably tried to protect Li Muyang and ended up dying at the hands of the wandering immortal, becoming a ghost.
Seeing its dazed and foolish appearance now, Li Muyang felt a mix of emotions.
He sighed and said, “Then I’ll take you ho.”
With a wave of his sleeve, Li Muyang directly collected the dazed weasel’s soul into his sleeve.
It didn’t matter that there were no rewards; he would just complete this task along the way.
He left the Dragon Palace and headed out of the border.
……..
There was a special land in the northern part of the Heavenly Origin Continent.
It was known as the region beyond the border, even more remote and wild than the northern counties.
Although the northern counties did not have the Demon-Suppressing Master of the Imperial Astronomical Bureau, they were at least under the rule of the court, with soldiers, constables, and officials in each state and county.
However, the land beyond the border was a place completely abandoned by the Heavenly Origin Dynasty, a land forgotten by the world.
Few creatures from beyond the border entered the region, and few people from within the border were willing to venture out.
Two lands, two worlds, existed so distinctly yet rarely intersected.
Following the Yushui River downstream to its lower reaches, one would arrive at the border.
There stood a majestic pass, towering between the mountains.
However, the pass was almost abandoned, with only so old, weak, and disabled soldiers idling around.
There was almost no communication between the inside and outside of the pass, and these soldiers had little to do, living in the dilapidated old town below the pass.
After flying over this pass on a cloud, Li Muyang stepped onto the land beyond the border.
He landed directly on the ground, not flying ostentatiously.
According to Chu Qingxue’s account, the beings beyond the border were different from any other creatures in the world, seemingly from another origin.
Compared to these beings, the evil creatures from the Ancient Grudge Well were closer to humans.
Nowadays, on the lands beyond the Great Wall, many sinister beings have taken root.
Even her master, Master Qingye, dislikes and is reluctant to visit this place.
Li Muyang, upon his first arrival, naturally did not flaunt his presence.
He ventured beyond the Great Wall with the soul of a weasel, intending to first send the weasel’s ghost back to its holand, to the place where this unfortunate creature had lived.
But not long after setting foot on the ground, Li Muyang saw two figures as thin as paper standing on either side of the main road ahead—one on the left and one on the right—or rather, they were made of paper.
The two paper figures stood respectfully by the roadside, their faces painted with eerie rouge.
Compared to the two fearful and timid paper figures he had seen before, these two dressed-up paper figures had brilliant smiles, their brightly painted mouths stretched wide.
In the face of Li Muyang, they showed no fear.
Instead, they greeted him with a cheerful bow.
“By the command of Lord Shanyang, we have been waiting here to welco the Yushui Dragon King.”
“Dragon King, are you venturing beyond the Great Wall to et with Lord Shanyang as per an appointnt?”
The two paper figures smiled radiantly, but a chilling wind blew with their arrival.
The green grass on either side of the road visibly withered and turned yellow.
Li Muyang’s eyes narrowed slightly.
“How does Lord Shanyang know I would co?”
Does this mysterious and unpredictable old monster possess the ability to divine the unknown?!
