The Game with Fairies

Watching the replies in the chat group and confirming that everyone believed him, Li Muyang continued to speak.

【Blue Star III: So, are any lords interested in coming to the Ancient Grudge Well to slay the evil deities?】

【Blue Star III: If these evil deities continue to be left unchecked, they will inevitably bring disaster and suffering to the world】

【Blue Star III: Perhaps after their return to the mortal realm, they might reenact the terrifying disaster of the gods’ extinction and the severance of the path of cultivation that occurred in ancient times.】

【Blue Star III: Why not strike first while they have not yet become a calamity? We could infiltrate the Ancient Grudge Well and defeat these evil deities one by one. It would be a great merit that benefits future generations!】

Li Muyang spoke these inspiring words.

However, after he finished speaking, the group fell into silence.

It took a while before someone spoke up.

【Dangerous Star I: …I just remembered that my magical instrument is still being refined, and I can’t leave it for too long. Friends, let’s part for today and reconvene another time.】

【Heart Star VI: I must go to assassinate Master Qingye. This assassination is fraught with peril, with nine deaths and one life. If I’m lucky enough to survive, I’ll discuss the important matters with you all again.】

The avatar of Heart Star also dimmed.

Then, the remaining people in the group all logged off, leaving only Li Muyang.

Seeing how decisively the Purple Mansion bigshots had run, Li Muyang clicked his tongue.

“…Even the Purple Mansion bigshots are chickening out huh.”

But it wasn’t surprising.

The evil deities of ancient times were legendary for their unpredictable and bizarre nature, so it was not strange that the Purple Mansion bigshots were wary.

Not to mention that Li Muyang, the provider of the information, had yet to earn the trust of these bigshots.

They were guarded against Li Muyang.

Now that Li Muyang had revealed the whereabouts of the ancient times evil deities, these Purple Mansion bigshots were probably even more nervous about him.

But for the time being, it didn’t matter.

Li Muyang was certain that once the news about the Ancient Grudge Well was confirmed by everyone, these Purple Mansion bigshots definitely wouldn’t be able to sleep tonight.

That is if they even needed sleep.

Haha…

Li Muyang chuckled twice, shook his head, and closed the system.

Indeed, after sharing the bad news, the pressure didn’t feel as heavy.

Even if those evil deities really did escape, with the Purple Mansion bigshots in front, Li Muyang was sure he wouldn’t be the first to die.

Now, he felt relaxed and his anxiety had dissipated.

Humming a cheerful tune, he walked out of the inn and headed straight for the residence where the inner disciples were staying.

Tonight, he didn’t have to meet Yan Xiaoru and had a rare day off.

He had thought it was Yan Xiaoru’s generosity, but it was only at breakfast that Li Muyang learned that everyone had other tasks arranged for tonight.

Arriving in the courtyard of the residence just before the deadline for the assembly, Li Muyang saw the other white-robed disciples already lined up and waiting. Р

“Tonight, we are to interrogate the young master of Chaotic Souls Valley. This matter is of great importance, and everyone must proceed with caution.”

The person leading the way was the aloof young man, Cheng Feiyang.

Senior Brother Cheng, seeing that everyone had arrived, gave a brief explanation and then ordered to set out.

The group left the residence and headed straight for the prison in Tianjiao City.

Although the main purpose of this operation was to search for clues about the immortal instruments, the official task of dealing with the case of the young master of Chaotic Souls Valley’s indiscriminate killing could not be neglected.

They had to play their roles convincingly.

It was said that the old master of Chaotic Souls Valley had already arrived in Tianjiao City the day before, first meeting with the city lord and then paying respects to Yan Xiaoru.

So tonight, the inner disciples were to interrogate the young master of Chaotic Souls Valley alone and review the case anew.

Li Muyang, walking at the end of the line alongside his little sister Li Yuechan, looked at Tianjiao City under the night sky and whispered through a voice transmission.

“Is this visit just for show? The old master of Chaotic Souls Valley has come over. He must have paid enough silver to bail someone out, right?”

Under the rule of the Demonic Sect, indiscriminate killing was not a significant case; paying a sufficient fine was enough.

But the young master of Chaotic Souls Valley had not killed just any commoners or peasants. He had killed demon cultivators and officials of the Demon Refining Sect, and not just one or two, but nearly wiped out the entire Tianjiao City’s Music and Dance Bureau.

According to the laws of the Demonic Sect, slaughtering disciples and killing officials of the Demonic Sect was akin to challenging the authority of the Demonic Sect, a grave offense.

It warranted the death penalty.

But the young master of Chaotic Souls Valley was of distinguished status, and even though he had committed a capital offense, if his father could pay enough ransom to the Demonic Sect, it might not be impossible to save him.

Li Muyang thought this was likely just a formality, and the bigshots had probably already agreed on a price behind the scenes.

But Li Yuechan shook her head and whispered back.

“Sister Ning said that although the old master of Chaotic Souls Valley was generous, Elder Yan seemed not to have accepted his request.”

“Even the city lord of Tianjiao City has been ambiguous.”

“The Demonic Sect values rules and order above all. Although Chaotic Souls Valley is also an ally of the Demonic Sect, to expect the Demonic Sect to easily break a rule… perhaps the price paid by the old master is still not enough.”

Li Yuechan and Ning Wan’er were always together, as close as sisters.

So Li Yuechan had access to a lot of important information.

Li Muyang was somewhat surprised after hearing this.

“So we’re here… not just going through the motions?”

Li Yuechan nodded and whispered, “Not very clear, but it’s definitely not just for show. The team is led by Senior Brother Cheng…”

Li Yuechan gestured with her eyes toward the aloof young man ahead.

Li Muyang immediately understood; “Got it.”

Senior Brother Cheng loved to show off, was aloof, and took his work seriously.

If it were just for show, there would be no need for him to make an appearance.

Tonight, it seemed that the young master was in for a tough time.

Li Muyang followed at the end of the line as the group arrived at the prison in Tianjiao City and presented their identity tokens.

They were then welcomed by the prison guards and led into the depths of the dark jail, where they saw the young master of Chaotic Souls Valley.

“Hehe… The white-robed pups of the Demon Refining Sect have come. Are you from the Demonic Sect’s main gate?”

In the darkness, the disheveled woman sneered coldly at Li Muyang and the others, “Are you here to release me from prison?”

Seeing the disheveled woman, Li Muyang was taken aback.

The young master of Chaotic Souls Valley… was a woman?

She seemed a bit mad.

……

And that night, indeed, the young master had a rough time.

Senior Brother Cheng, with eyes colder than hers, ordered her to be dragged from the cell into the torture chamber without asking a single question, and then they began to torture her for an hour.

At first, the woman cursed loudly, but even cultivators could hardly bear the cruel torture of the Demonic Sect.

In the end, with a bloodied face, she glared at everyone with anger and resentment, cursing them.”What the hell do you want to ask? Just f*cking ask!”

The woman was furious.

But Cheng Feiyang, dressed in white, looked at her emotionlessly and shook his head.

“I don’t plan to ask you anything.”

After speaking, Cheng Feiyang gestured to Li Muyang.

“Continue the torture.”

At that moment, the air in the dungeon seemed to freeze.

The woman on the torture rack had a frozen look in her eyes.

Then came another round of piercing screams and curses filled with resentment…
