The Game with Fairies

In the dimly lit lakeside courtyard, the air fell silent for a moment. Li Muyang looked at the spirited woman in men’s clothing before him, his brow slightly furrowed.

He had been busy dealing with the followers of the Blood Lotus Sect and had almost forgotten about the Chaotic Souls Valley.

After all, before the crackdown on the Blood Lotus Sect, the old valley master of Chaotic Souls Valley had already surrendered and had his daughter released from prison.

Since being released, the young valley master of Chaotic Souls Valley and her father had been quiet and well-behaved, with zero presence.

As a mid-level member of the Demonic Sect, Li Muyang didn’t have the chance to interact with them and had nearly forgotten about her.

But now, at this victory banquet, they met again, and she even took the initiative to strike up a conversation.

Li Muyang felt that something was off.

After hearing Li Muyang’s questioning, the woman let out a cold laugh.

She sized up Li Muyang as if examining a corpse.

“Master Li, I’ve said that I will remember you. I’m grateful for your attentive care during my time in the dungeon. If there’s a chance in the future, I will certainly repay the favor and not let down Master Li,” she said, then left with a cold laugh.

Her strange attitude left Li Muyang stunned.

What’s going on with this madwoman?

So bold to just pop up and threaten him like that… What does she want?

Something’s not right!

Absolutely not right!

This madwoman’s confidence was definitely not due to a fit of madness—madness still has to follow some basic principles!

After pondering for a moment, Li Muyang left the courtyard and headed towards the inner court.

The banquet had already reached its latter half, with guests and hosts enjoying themselves amidst the clinking of glasses in the front hall.

Ning Wan’er and her little sister Li Yuechan were in the inner court, where Ning Wan’er had gathered some female disciples and the wives of Tianjiao City’s high officials.

The girls were now enjoying tea and chatting about interesting topics.

While the front hall was lively and noisy, the inner court was filled with laughter and chatter.

Li Muyang’s sudden arrival disrupted the cheerful atmosphere.

Although not very famous, Li Muyang, clad in a white robe, was recognized by Xiaodie, Ning Wan’er’s personal maid, who was standing at the entrance.

Knowing the status of Li Muyang and his sister, she did not dare to neglect him.

She hurriedly came forward, surprised, “Master Li, what brings you here in such a hurry?”

Li Muyang stood outside the courtyard door, listening to the light laughter inside, and said with a serious expression, “Please inform Senior Sister Ning that I have an urgent matter to discuss and would appreciate if she could step out for a moment.” ȑ�

Seeing Li Muyang’s serious demeanor, Xiaodie did not dare to delay.

She quickly entered the inner court, and soon the laughter of the women inside abruptly stopped.

Following that, Ning Wan’er appeared in sight.

Accompanied by Li Yuechan and her personal maid Xiaodie, she walked towards Li Muyang with a puzzled look.

“Muyang, what is it that you want to say?”

Ning Wan’er was somewhat confused.

With everything in Tianjiao City settled, the Demonic Sect victorious, and the followers of the Blood Lotus Sect all imprisoned, with the ancient immortal artifact also secured… what could be so urgent that it required immediate discussion?

With a puzzled look in her eyes, Ning Wan’er watched as Li Muyang quickly walked to the side, making sure that only he, Li Yuechan, and Ning Wan’er and her maid were present.

Li Muyang then recounted what had just happened.

After hearing his story, Ning Wan’er and Li Yuechan furrowed their brows.

To be honest, Li Muyang’s reaction to the young valley master of Chaotic Souls Valley’s threatening words seemed a bit neurotic.

Almost crossing the line of being paranoid.

However, Ning Wan’er and Li Yuechan were also familiar with the young valley master of Chaotic Souls Valley.

Although she was wild and arrogant, she was not a brainless madwoman.

Her boldness in confronting Li Muyang on such a joyous occasion and with such confidence did not seem to be without reason…

Ning Wan’er furrowed her brows in thought and said, “Could it be that this young valley master really can’t swallow her pride and wants to seek revenge privately?”

Before Li Muyang could speak, Li Yuechan shook her head and said, “I’m afraid it’s not just her wanting to take revenge privately, but the entire Chaotic Souls Valley that can’t swallow this insult…”

This time, the young valley master of Chaotic Souls Valley caused a scene in Tianjiao City, slaughtering all the officials of the Music and Dance Bureau belonging to the Demonic Sect, which is a serious violation of the Demonic Sect’s laws.

Moreover, although Chaotic Souls Valley is powerful, its strength is limited, and even if the Demon Refining Sect beats them, Demon Refining Sects won’t face severe consequences.

As expected, the Demonic Sect took this opportunity to bleed Chaotic Souls Valley and cut deep wounds into them.

And with Chaotic Souls Valley losing the territory of three cities and paying such a heavy price, it is impossible to say they hold no grudge.

But in the path of the demonic way, it’s the law of the jungle. If Chaotic Souls Valley is weak and gives others leverage, it’s only natural for the Demon Refining Sect to take advantage of the situation.

Even if the Demonic Sect bullies you, what can you do?

Does Chaotic Souls Valley dare to rebel?

If Chaotic Souls Valley were to rebel, the Demonic Sect might be even happier.

After all, the flesh, bones, and even souls of demonic cultivators are all high-quality materials for cultivation!

Destroying a Chaotic Souls Valley, who knows how many benefits the sect could reap.

In theory, Chaotic Souls Valley wouldn’t dare to rebel.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

But that’s just in theory.

Hearing Li Yuechan’s reminder, Ning Wan’er’s gaze suddenly sharpened.

“Would Chaotic Souls Valley dare to be so bold?”

The old valley master of Chaotic Souls Valley is merely at the Divine Travel Realm and doesn’t have any top demonic techniques.

He simply doesn’t have the qualifications or ability to rebel!

Li Muyang, however, slowly said, “I remember Chaotic Souls Valley had contact with the followers of the Blood Lotus Sect before…”

“And this time, the conspiracy of the Blood Lotus Sect was thwarted too easily…”

Li Muyang had felt something strange before.

The Blood Lotus Sect, a notorious force in this world, stirred up trouble on the Demon Refining Sect’s territory and even brought out an ancient immortal weapon.

Yet the Demon Refining Sect, relying only on Yan Xiaoru and the city lord of Tianjiao City, two Divine Travel Realm cultivators, managed to thwart the Blood Lotus Sect’s conspiracy and successfully seized the ancient immortal weapon.

–If the Blood Lotus Sect was so weak, how could it be such a headache for the various forces of both the righteous and demonic paths?

That’s an ancient immortal weapon. Even the Demon Refining Sect would have to deploy all its elders, fearing any mishaps.

But the Blood Lotus Sect only sent one Divine Travel Realm master to oversee the affairs in Tianjiao City… Now that Ning Wan’er thought about it, something didn’t seem right.

Ning Wan’er’s complexion changed slightly: “Could it be that the Blood Lotus Sect and Chaotic Souls Valley have colluded, and the Blood Lotus Sect’s easy defeat is part of a conspiracy?”

The specifics of the conspiracy were unclear, but the situation was indeed strange.

Putting everything together, Ning Wan’er couldn’t help feeling anxious.

“I’ll go see my master and inform her of this matter!”

Although the likelihood of Chaotic Souls Valley and the Blood Lotus Sect really colluding and setting a trap was low, it couldn’t be ignored.
