“…Immortal, do you know this Spirit Feather King?”

After leaving Qiuye Villa, the little girl sitting on the shoulder of the burly stone statue hesitated and asked the white-robed Immortal beside her.

“Why are there monsters so close to Capital City, in a place like Rooster Mountain?”

The girl was somewhat frightened, “This monster lives in Rooster Mountain, doesn’t the Mysterious Sword Sect know about it? Or is it very powerful? Can’t the Immortals of the Mysterious Sword Sect deal with it?”

As for the Imperial Astronomical Bureau, Nie Yubing did not mention it at all.

After all, the Imperial Astronomical Bureau, famously only deals with evil spirits; if it’s just demons causing trouble, the chances are high that the Demon Suppression Magus of the Bureau would turn a blind eye.

Fortunately, Immortal Qing Ye had eradicated the demons across the land, and this land had not seen the chaos of demons for over a thousand years.

Yet now, the little girl was heading to a mountain near the Capital City to slay a demon… which frightened her.

Li Muyang, seeing the fear in the girl’s eyes, shook his head, “I haven’t heard of the Spirit Feather King.”

“However, times have changed, and nowadays, it’s not surprising to see a few demons near the Capital City.”

After all, judging from the opening CG, the entire palace might well be full of demons.

Even the Emperor himself is in league with these demons.

These demons strut around arrogantly within the pass, claiming mountains as their kingdoms; it’s not surprising.

Li Muyang comforted her, “If this demon really is that powerful, Prince Six would not send you to your death.”

“Since he asked you to find it, it means Prince Six believes you can defeat it.”

Little did he expect that the girl’s ability was indeed to control puppets.

After abandoning the previous ten corpses and taking the Yellow Heaven Strongman given by Prince Six, Li Muyang suddenly realized how much stronger his combat power had become.

Not to mention, the consumption rate of his spiritual power was more than ten times what it had been before.

This Yellow Heaven Strongman, in Li Muyang’s eyes, was almost as powerful as the Earth Strongman he had summoned before using a mid-grade Spirit Talisman.

Yet the little girl could easily control it—provided that she had Li Muyang’s supply of spiritual power.

This Puppetry Technique was unheard of by Li Muyang.

Normally, to control a puppet, one would need to perform rituals and follow a complicated process.

But the girl took control seamlessly and easily… This young girl’s ability was rather strong.

After saving the file and closing the game, Li Muyang opened his eyes in the cabin.

If Nie Yubing could seamlessly transition to a new puppet, then the game probably wouldn’t need an upgrade this time.

The way to increase his combat power was to find various powerful puppets?

If he could escort Nie Yubing out of Heiyuan Pass and beyond, he could then go and find Chu Qingxue and the main forces of the Mysterious Sword Sect.

As Li Muyang pondered, his younger adoptive sister’s voice came from outside the door.

“Brother! We’ve arrived at Fairy Watching Valley! Come out quick!”

The Sect’s Flying Boat arrived at Fairy Watching Valley and docked outside the valley, yet Li Yuechan couldn’t wait and had already run over to call Li Muyang out.

Fairy Watching Valley was a unique region, called a valley, but it was actually a vast plain between two mountain ranges. The plain was picturesque with lush grass and water.

However, in this land, flying was forbidden.

Whether by Flying Boat or by Escaping Light, as long as one was more than three feet off the ground, one would be entangled with an inexplicable curse.

Since this place was an important pass, cultivators traveling south or north through Fairy Watching Valley had to walk on the ground and switch to other means of transport.

Li Muyang walked out of the cabin and joined his sister on the deck.

The disciples of the Demon Sect had already lined up in formation; once everyone had assembled, Yan Xiaoru stepped out of the cabin and led everyone off the Flying Boat.

After counting the number of people, Maid Aunt Su beside Yan Xiaoru stepped forward to cast a spell.

It took a full ten minutes to refine the massive Flying Boat into a palm-sized model and store it inside the Qiankun Ring.

The disciples of the Demon Sect then raised the Sect’s flag and marched in formation.

As a direct disciple, Li Muyang naturally had a carriage to sit in.

But the other disciples had to walk, guarding the carriage.

The entrance to Fairy Watching Valley was quite bustling, with many cultivators shuttling through the market at the valley entrance.

As soon as the team from the Refinement Demon Sect appeared, it immediately drew the attention of the cultivators.

“…It’s the disciples of the Refinement Demon Sect from the north.”

“Hiss… that Refinement Demon Sect to the north…”

“The one that got hammered by the Blood Lotus Sect?”

“Shh… Keep it down, don’t get their blood on me if they die…”

“I heard this time a young disciple from the Refinement Demon Sect named Li Muyang was invited by the Hehuan Sect.”

“Yeah, just by getting invited, you get a Beautifying Pill… I’m envious…”

“If I could become the Protector of the Young Sect Master of the Hehuan Sect, I’d be willing even to become a Zifu master!”

“Shh… like you could with that squashed melon of a face…”

In the market, cultivators were numerous, and they all talked about the disciples of the Refinement Demon Sect.

Most felt envious, but there was also wariness and fear, considering the notorious ferocity of the Refinement Demon Sect.

There were even hostile and hateful glances in secret.

Among these murmured discussions, Li Muyang heard some unexpected voices.

“…Tsk… the demons of the Refinement Demon Sect…”

“What a grand display…”

“That Li guy is in there, right…”

“I heard he recently used some dark magic to harm Fairy Mo Bai from the Taichang Pavilion, and she’s still suffering from the magic’s poison…”

“Tsk… Fairy Mo Bai always acts so high and mighty; she finally hit a wall this time.”

“I heard Fairy Mo Bai invited friends to come along to find this demon Li and show him a lesson!”

“Wow… that’s going to make this conference interesting.”

“It’s only just started, and the heat is already on… hehe…”

“Perfectly fits my stereotype of the Taichang Pavilion and the Refinement Demon Sect…”

From the outside chatter, Li Muyang, with his Spirit Travel Realm powerful perception, heard everything clearly.

This included the discussions from some higher-level loose cultivators in the teahouse above.

So the one who used the Thunder Evil Talisman Scroll on little sister was Fairy Mo Bai from the Taichang Pavilion?

Never heard of her, but it seems she wasn’t pleased.

As Li Muyang pondered, they left the entrance of Fairy Watching Valley, without delaying there.

But as they traveled along the vast plains of Fairy Watching Valley, after more than an hour, Yan Xiaoru suddenly ordered the team to stop.

They arrived at a regular mortal town, where Yan Xiaoru, along with Aunt Su, left to meet a friend in the area.

Li Muyang and the others stayed in the low-walled town, waiting for Yan Xiaoru to return.

Li Yuechan clamored to explore the town, taking Ning Wan’er along as they ran off.

Li Muyang declined their invitation and found a quiet place to sit alone, planning to play his game while waiting.

Just then, a familiar voice suddenly rang in his ear.

“Wow! Brother-in-law!”

The long-unseen ghost girl Shen Miao suddenly jumped out from the shadows, joyously hopping in front of Li Muyang.

“You’re here to find my sister too? What a coincidence!”

With her very first words, the ghost girl startled Li Muyang so much that his hair stood on end.

“Ah? Your sister is here too?!”

Damn!

Hearing the traces of Shen Yan, Li Muyang instinctively felt a chill on his back.

He had played a major role in the defeat of the Blood Lotus Sect back then!

Now with Yan Xiaoru gone, Shen Yan’s group of Blood Lotus Sect remnants… were also in this town?

Damn!

I’m screwed, aren’t I?

Among those remnants of the Blood Lotus Sect, there were quite a few masters!
