The fairies I flirted with in the game became real?! Chapter 221 Ghost City

Li Muyang remained vigilant in the city, waiting for the appearance of a Purple Mansion expert from the Refinent Demon Sect to find him.

In his opinion, if they allowed this land, spanning fifteen hundred miles, to be seized and absorbed by the Blood Lotus Sect, it would be an unbearable loss for the Refinent Demon Sect.

It was also a stain that Gong Yanghong, the face-saving Sect Master, could not tolerate.

Once the Demon Sect made up its mind, he would cooperate fully.

He planned to sever the connection between the Four-sided Cauldron and the earth's veins, find a way to retreat safely, and then return to the Enforcent Hall.

However, he had waited a long ti, yet the Purple Mansion expert from the Demon Sect never showed up.

The onslaught from the Demon Sect, after ten days of fierce continuation, indeed started to weaken, just as Shen Yan had predicted.

What followed was negotiation.

The Demon Sect sent an Elder to conduct talks with the Blood Lotus Sect Leader at the front line.

Eventually, both sides swore an oath: the Refinent Demon Sect dispersed its mortal troops and agreed not to attack the followers of the Blood Lotus Sect any longer.

In return, the Blood Lotus Sect Leader also pledged not to expand into any more territories of the Demon Sect.

This grand and vast war, which resulted in the death or injury of hundreds of thousands of mortals, ended anticlimactically.

When the news reached Tianjiao City, Li Muyang felt it was absurd and doubted the veracity of the ssage.

The always face-conscious Sect Master of the Demon Sect, Gong Yanghong, was actually holding his nose and negotiating peace with the Blood Lotus Sect?

This was tantamount to abandoning the land surrounding Tianjiao City, conceding it to the Blood Lotus Sect by default.

After this war, the Refinent Demon Sect would likely beco the laughing stock of both the Immortal and Demon paths, with countless people mocking Gong Yanghong behind his back.

Could Gong Yanghong accept such a blemish?

Li Muyang felt increasingly that things were getting out of hand, but the Blood Lotus Sect's armies at the front lines began to withdraw.

Those helmsn and banner leaders who had been stationed at the front lines returned to Tianjiao City one after another.

Tianjiao City, once the economic center under the Demon Sect's rule, regained its forr prosperity.

The city was festooned with decorations, and everyone was celebrating the victory obtained by the Blood Lotus Sect.

Amidst the laughter, Shen Yan made a special visit to Li Muyang, sincerely apologizing to him.

"... This truce is only temporary."

"We currently lack the strength to fight the Demon Sect to the end. A brief peace is for gathering strength, for the future."

From the perspective of the Blood Lotus Sect, Li Muyang, a Disciple who joined the Demon Sect bearing deep hatred, was soone seeking revenge against the Demon Sect.

But now, this war had ended in an anticlimactic way, and Li Muyang had not even had the chance to step onto the battlefield before the Demon Sect and the Blood Lotus Sect made peace.

Worried that Li Muyang might be upset, Shen Yan specifically took ti to chat with him all afternoon.

And Li Muyang was indeed sowhat frustrated and at a loss for words.

But his frustration was directed at the Refinent Demon Sect.

After all the trickery and resource expenditure, you sent to spy, and I even unearthed the ultimate secrets of the Blood Lotus Sect, and now... you negotiate peace?

What was the point of my efforts?

Li Muyang was full of question marks, only wanting to ask who he was, where he was, and what he was supposed to do now.

Even the one-sided contact with the Demon Sect ant he couldn't receive the latest orders from the sect, leaving him uncertain about his next actions.

Caught in the sea of celebrations of the Blood Lotus Sect, Li Muyang could only keep a sullen face and maintain his vengeful persona without expression.

Damn Refinent Demon Sect, they couldn't possibly want him to be an undercover agent for the long term, could they?

No! Absolutely not!

Li Muyang began contemplating his escape route, considering how to find an opportunity to leave Tianjiao City and return to the Refinent Demon Sect.

However, at the present ti, Tianjiao City was a bustling ocean of activity.

The war had just ended, and it was difficult for Li Muyang to persuade Shen Yan to let him leave.

Li Muyang planned to lie low for a while longer and leave once everything settled down. Your journey continues at empire

Over the past month, he bathed daily, and the physique of his Martial God Domineering Body had strengthened more than twofold.

In the ga, the Jade Mantis was constantly hunting wraiths in the ghostly mist and had already evolved twice.

The now 9th rank Jade Mantis, about thirty feet long, had an enormous body and blade light that chilled to the bone.

With an attack power of 3397, Li Muyang believed that the Jade Mantis could kill a cultivator in the profound mystery realm with a single chop.

The only shortcoming was that the Jade Mantis' evolutionary path remained extrely specialized.

Though its attack power was strong, its health and defense were currently only on par with a 3rd rank warrior of Moshan Jun.

Li Muyang was very curious about the extent to which this ga could evolve the Jade Mantis.

He invested more ti into the ga and even began to decline so of Shen Yan's invitations to gatherings.

With the war's end, Tianjiao City had beco the political center of the Blood Lotus Sect.

Almost every helmsman and incense master had returned to Tianjiao City to divide dwellings and manage their affairs.

The grand residences once occupied by Demon Sect cultivators and prestigious clans were now inhabited by the helmsn of the Blood Lotus Sect.

Li Muyang would occasionally hear about conflicts breaking out on the streets, with a certain helmsman's confidence clashing with another helmsman's subordinates.

Even with Shen Yan diating, the conflicts between the various branches within the city continued to erupt.

Li Muyang declined all invitations to banquets and scarcely ever t with Shen Yan when she sought him out.

He completely secluded himself in his courtyard, seldom venturing out.

To outsiders, it appeared that he was disheartened and affected by the recent negotiations.

In reality, Li Muyang simply wanted to avoid trouble.

During the war, he had seriously offended two incense masters of the Blood Lotus Sect.

Nangong Ting and Liu Hucheng, these two incense masters of the Blood Lotus Sect, had been held hostage by Li Muyang for many days, resulting in deep-seated enmity.

When he rushed down Pingyang Gang, Li Muyang held the two captive and fought as he retreated, even making a lethal move in the end; by all accounts, they should have died.

If it wasn't for the Sect Hierarch proactively using two ancient Blood Lotus petals, those two incense masters would already be waiting for resurrection within the Four-Sided Cauldron.

——The higher the cultivation of the individual, the longer they need to wait for resurrection in the Four-sided Cauldron.

The two incense masters who had nearly died at Li Muyang's hand were his sworn enemies.

During the days when Li Muyang kept his doors shut, there would often be random people loitering outside his door.

Clearly, they were all Li Muyang's adversaries.

Yet, Li Muyang played his ga behind closed doors, never venturing out to invite trouble.

He carefully steered the 9th rank Jade Mantis through the ghostly mists, moving stealthily.

But this ti, he wasn't hunting wraiths; instead, he quietly slipped into the shadows of a small valley.

Ahead, within the ghostly mist, a vast city could faintly be seen.

Within the dilapidated city walls, it seed as if there were bustling figures, and lively noises could be heard, suggesting that many people were conversing inside.

This noisy, black city was strikingly at odds with the desolate, dilapidated, and deathly quiet of the Peaceful Realms.
