The fairies I flirted with in the game became real?!

Facing the shock of his younger stepsister and Guan Xiaoshun, Li Muyang had no time to explain.

He immediately released their hands and said, "Turn left up ahead, then keep running! You guys hurry out!"

"I'll go after Ning Wan'er and rescue her!"

The scorpion had been seriously injured and couldn't have gone far.

Li Muyang had to catch up quickly, before it could regroup with other demons and save Ning Wan'er.

Chasing down a severely wounded scorpion spirit on the brink of death was an easy task.

After all, they were not far from the exit, and Li Yuechan, that little girl, had hidden her strength; she and Guan Xiaoshun could soon run out.

Having said that, Li Muyang left his younger stepsister and Guan Xiaoshun behind and chased in the direction where the scorpion spirit had fled.

The moment he left them behind, a Taiyi Splitting Light Talisman slipped into Li Yuechan's hand.

The girl was dumbfounded, "Brother..."

She raised the talisman which obviously had no shortage of power, about to say she didn't need it.

But in the next second, Li Muyang's figure had vanished from hers and Guan Xiaoshun's sight.

His speed was unimaginably fast.

The trailing afterimage that vanished left Li Yuechan stunned.

"Such... such incredible speed..."

While Li Yuechan and Guan Xiaoshun were shocked by the Remnant Cloud Movement Technique, Li Muyang had already dashed deep into the tunnel.

Although he didn't have much of a relationship with Ning Wan'er, their relationship was pretty mediocre.

But he owed this little pretender a favor and had not yet repaid it.

If it was within his power, Li Muyang didn't want to see this little pretender die before his eyes.

He left Guan Xiaoshun and Li Yuechan behind, activated the Remnant Cloud Movement Technique, and hurried through the underground tunnels, pursuing the fleeing scorpion spirit.

However, the scenes he witnessed along the way filled Li Muyang with alarm.

Following the trail of the fleeing scorpion spirit, along the tunnel, there were no survivors next to any of the formation flags Li Muyang saw.

There was either a pool of blood or bodies gnawed beyond recognition, and even the bodies of demons.

In this area, close to the core of the great formation, all the Outer Sect disciples had been killed!

Even the bodies of two Inner Sect disciples clad in white robes appeared in view, implying that the fight was even more intense than imagined.

While Li Muyang and the others were busy fighting ghosts in the depths of the tunnels, the core area of the great formation outside had undergone a sudden change, with treacherous demons and disciples of the Demon Sect fighting a bloody battle.

Not only had two Inner Sect disciples died, but several demons also perished, the intensity of the battle was unmatched.

Li Muyang dashed all the way and quickly caught up with the three-meter-long giant scorpion spirit.

This scorpion spirit was quite powerful, at least at the Core Formation Realm.

But it had taken a direct hit from a Taiyi Splitting Light Talisman, which was blasted into serious injury by the Sword Qi; its dark carapace was nearly cracked open, covered with blood-red fissures, and the poisonous hook on its tail had been snapped off, leaving only a bare and limp tail trailing behind.

Seeing Li Muyang catching up, the scorpion spirit went berserk.

"You dare to chase me, a mere Qi Refinement Realm cultivator!"

The scorpion spirit roared furiously, "You, an Outer Sect disciple, are seeking death!"

The severely injured scorpion spirit was blustering with a weak interior; she never thought she would be injured like this by a Qi Refinement Realm disciple of the Demon Sect!

The scorpion spirit was raging, her eyes glued to the approaching figure of Li Muyang, waiting for this junior to get close.

But no matter what trump card the scorpion spirit had, it was too late to use it.

Because the moment the scorpion spirit entered range, Li Muyang simply pulled out another Taiyi Splitting Light Talisman from his bosom, completely without wasting words with the demon.

"Rise!"

The golden light twinkled, thousands upon thousands of golden Sword Qi crisscrossed once again, hitting the crouching giant scorpion, which was preparing for its final desperate strike.

The unprepared scorpion spirit was swept away by the Sword Qi, and its carapace could no longer hold together, shattering to pieces. Read exclusive adventures at empire

Following that, the defenseless scorpion was swept over by the tidal wave of Sword Qi, turning into a shower of flesh and blood.

The scorpion spirit had never imagined that a mere Outer Sect disciple of the Refinement Demon Sect could produce such a powerful talisman.

And to produce two in quick succession!

Her face, just before death, was extremely fierce.

"You motherf..."

The scorpion spirit's resentful roar was lost amidst the torrent of Sword Qi.

A stream of white mist rose from the blood and flesh splattered by the scorpion spirit, falling into the body of Li Muyang.

Li Muyang's figure flickered past, catching Ning Wan'er in time as she fell, preventing her from getting caught in the torrent of Sword Qi.

The unconscious Ning Wan'er was covered in blood on one side of her body, lying limply in Li Muyang's arms.

Fortunately, she wasn't seriously injured; most of the blood wasn't hers.

But the violent jolting still caused the unconscious girl to moan in pain with a soft whimper.

Then her eyelashes trembled, and she actually woke up.

But the moment she woke up and saw the person in front of her, Ning Wan'er was stunned, almost believing she was dreaming.

"...Li... Li Muyang?!"

Ning Wan'er stared dumbfounded at the man holding her.

She clearly remembered being attacked and captured by a scorpion spirit, who said she would be used to threaten her master.

But how had it turned into Li Muyang so suddenly?

The girl stared dumbfounded, but Li Muyang directly picked her up, giving her shoulder a chop with his hand.

Thump—

Within the muffled sound, the girl who had just awakened once again fell unconscious, limply collapsing onto Li Muyang.

This little green tea wasn't like his cheap little sister; Li Muyang certainly didn't trust her.

In front of her, Li Muyang didn't want to use the Remnant Cloud Movement Technique and reveal too much, preferring to knock her out physically.

Carrying the once again unconscious Ning Wan'er, Li Muyang ran wildly back the way he came.

This time with a familiar path, Li Muyang quickly arrived at the junction where he had separated from his cheap little sister.

But Li Yuechan and the others, who should have left the place by now, were still standing there.

Seeing this, Li Muyang was instantly a bit pained.

"Why aren't you running? What are you waiting for me here for?"

Was this the time to play at deep sibling bonds, insisting on leaving together?

But then Li Yuechan looked innocent, "We ran, but then we came back..."

Guan Xiaoshun, pale, clutching his shoulder, murmured, "Brother Li, the entrance has been sealed off; there's no way out."

Only then did Li Muyang notice the wound on Guan Xiaoshun's shoulder.

It wasn't very serious, but the flesh was torn and quite shocking to behold.

Li Muyang fell silent, "Are there many demons at the entrance?"

There was one last Splitting Light Talisman left; if the demons blocking the entrance weren't too fierce, they should be able to break out.

But Li Yuechan gave a bitter smile and said, "It's not demons, it's evil ghosts..."

"The exit of the mine is jammed with evil ghosts; that area isn't within the range of the Soul Refining Formation. After crawling out, those resentful souls of the ghosts congested there, densely blocking our escape route."

"The number is too great; there's no way to squeeze through."

If a cultivator in the Qi Refinement stage fell into the midst of the evil ghosts, they would likely die instantly.

Li Muyang took the last Splitting Light Talisman from his cheap little sister and went to the entrance to have a look for himself.

—A dense cluster of evil ghosts filled the entire field of vision, with the tunnel entrance barely visible.

Just then, the cold, indifferent voice of a woman suddenly resounded in the chilly underground tunnels.

"...All disciples of the Demon Sect, come to me immediately. I will shrink the Formation's area and kill the treacherous demons causing chaos first!"

After a long absence, Elder Yan's voice finally sounded again.

Although her tone was indifferent, her murderous intent was palpable!

As she spoke, the pervasive purple light in the underground tunnels suddenly flared up.

This Soul Refining Formation, which had been lacking a core for a long time, was finally activated again, running at full capacity!

Seeing this, Li Muyang breathed a sigh of relief.

"Good! Elder Yan isn't dead..."

In the face of a desperate situation, this was the best news possible.

"Hurry up and help Elder Yan!"

If you're slow, once the range of the Soul Refining Formation decreases and the resentful ghosts crawl out, those still here will die!

Li Muyang, holding the unconscious Ning Wan'er, ran at the forefront.
