The afterglow of the setting sun fell on Li Muyang.
He stood between the ridges, watching the tranquil little mountain village, and subconsciously activated his Spiritual Vision Eye.
An illusion? Or something else? Why did he see a small mountain village instead of ancient gods or terrifying creatures after entering the Ancient Grudge Well?
However, after activating the Spiritual Vision Eye, the scene before him did not change at all.
It was still the quiet little mountain village, still the idyllic paradise with orderly houses and paths.
Li Muyang was somewhat baffled—had he accidentally stumbled into a hidden utopia?
Where were the promised evil spirits?
As Li Muyang was surprised, a figure in green clothes silently appeared behind him.
Chu Qingxue, carrying an immortal sword made of glaze, appeared in Li Muyang’s field of vision.
“Lord Wuming?”At the moment of their encounter, Chu Qingxue breathed a sigh of relief:
“I thought you had disappeared too.”
Fairy Liuli’s words stirred something in Li Muyang, reminding him of the scene in the tunnel just before.
Could it be that Fairy Liuli, too, had been left alone while walking?
After exchanging information, they indeed found that their experiences were consistent.
After the mist appeared, they suddenly found themselves alone in the tunnel, losing track of the others.
Fortunately, Li Muyang and Fairy Liuli were reunited after leaving the tunnel.
However, they waited in place for a long time but did not see the four Demon-Suppressing Masters from the Imperial Astronomical Bureau appear.
“…Could it be that the four Demon-Suppressing Masters saw something was wrong and exited directly?” Li Muyang murmured in surprise.
Fairy Liuli bit her lip: “They shouldn’t have. The four first-rank Demon-Suppressing Masters are all heroes who are not afraid of hardship and never give up; they wouldn’t retreat.”
But even as she said this, Fairy Liuli clearly lacked confidence.
After waiting a bit longer, Li Muyang suggested, “Shall we go into the village to look for the General?”
Li Muyang opened his palm, and the two Blood Pupils in his hand had already calmed down, no longer spinning.
Having brought Li Muyang and his companion to their destination, the Blood Pupils had lost their power.
Li Muyang put away the Blood Pupils and walked towards the village ahead.
Fairy Liuli hesitated for a moment but followed.
“If this place really is the Ancient Grudge Well, I’m afraid it’s full of evil creatures…”
The two of them cautiously approached the small mountain village, alert to any possible attacks.
After entering the village, they saw roosters crowing and yellow dogs running around, a scene of harmony and tranquility.
The villagers were astonished to see the two of them approaching.
“From where do the two immortals come?”
All the villagers had pale yellow neutral health bars, and for a moment, Li Muyang’s vision was filled with yellow——ordinary mortals wouldn’t have health bars.
Surprised to find that all these villagers had health bars, Li Muyang kept his composure.
Without saying a word, he immediately launched an attack.
The Dharma-Annihilation Wheel trembled violently in the sunlight, turning into a bright blue arc that swept out.
In an instant, a group of villagers was struck down, with blood and flesh flying everywhere.
“…”
Looking at the corpses on the ground, Li Muyang fell silent.
Had he killed the wrong people? Were they not evil spirits?
After waiting a while and confirming that there was no abnormal change in the bodies of these villagers, Li Muyang exited the game, loaded the save, and re-entered the game.
Once again, he and Fairy Liuli stepped into the small village.
“From where do the two immortals come?”
The villagers curiously surrounded them, looking at Li Muyang.
This time, Li Muyang confidently smiled and made up a lie to fool them.
At that moment, the old village chief appeared with a walking stick, smiling and welcoming the two into his home.
Fairy Liuli was puzzled by Li Muyang’s relaxed demeanor without any guard, but she was used to his foresight and did not say much.
The two were guests at the village chief’s house, and Li Muyang began to inquire, learning that the place was called Quanshan Village and the nearest town was a hundred li away.
The villagers lived peacefully and rarely ventured out.
They had never seen any evil spirits roaming around, nor had they heard of the Ancient Grudge Well or anything about Black Cloud Village.
However, after Li Muyang mentioned that they were looking for someone, the old village chief provided a clue.
“Last month, an old general suddenly appeared outside our village, but he seemed confused and spoke incoherently.”
“He asked us for directions to Red Ridge Mountain and then left while laughing and crying.”
“Are you two immortals looking for this old general?”
The old village chief was extremely curious.
Fairy Liuli immediately took out a portrait of the old general, and upon seeing it, the village chief nodded without hesitation.
“Yes, that’s him! He went to Red Ridge Mountain!”
Li Muyang and Fairy Liuli were surprised at how smoothly things were going.
They had just arrived and already learned the whereabouts of the old general.
After getting directions to Red Ridge Mountain, they bid farewell to the old village chief.
“Immortals, it’s getting dark, and night is about to fall. Why not stay in our small village for the night…”
The simple village chief urged them to stay and rest.
Li Muyang and Fairy Liuli thanked him and then left directly.
“We can’t fly here.”
After leaving the village, Fairy Liuli frowned and spoke.
She discovered that she was unable to fly with her sword light. It seemed as if an invisible force was blocking flight.
Fortunately, aside from not being able to fly, their cultivation powers were not sealed.
Li Muyang tried and confirmed that he indeed couldn’t fly using light escape, but his cultivation was still intact.
“Then we’ll have to walk to Red Ridge Mountain.”
According to the distance given by the old village chief, it wouldn’t take long for them to reach Red Ridge Mountain on foot.
As the last ray of sunset fell from the horizon in the distance, the land was plunged into complete darkness.
There were no clouds in the night sky, yet the two of them still couldn’t see any stars or the moon.
There was no starry sky here, only an endless pitch-black darkness.
Li Muyang and his companion ran through the darkness at an extreme speed.
However, suddenly, a long red blood bar appeared in their field of vision.
【Spirit Medium】
This blood bar appeared abruptly in the darkness, and before Li Muyang and his companion could react, they collided with it.
【You died. Game Over】
“…Huh?”
Li Muyang, whose vision had suddenly gone black, was confused.
He didn’t even see what happened before he died.
But the blood bar he saw before dying was definitely that of a Spirit Medium.
That thing must be one of the evil gods under Black Cloud Village, right?
What happened to there being no evil spirits in this world?
Old village chief, you’ve tricked me!
Li Muyang reloaded the save and once again entered the dark land.
He and Fairy Liuli ran through the darkness, with Li Muyang activating the Startling Swan Sword Mantra, causing the Dharma-Annihilation Wheel to release a dazzling blue light that followed them like a giant glowing ball.
Under the radiant blue light, the darkness within a ten-zhang radius turned into a shimmering blue.
This time, Li Muyang could finally see clearly.
In the void ahead, a sinister and silent shadow emerged.
【Spirit Medium】
The grotesque head, covered in arms and legs, appeared crying from the darkness.
The moment their six eyes met, Li Muyang fell silent.
It really was a Spirit Medium… Damn it!
Was this truly a land inhabited by evil gods?
It wasn’t the projection seen in the third stage of Black Cloud Village, nor the void incarnation seen in Lijiang County, but the genuine Spirit Medium!
A real ancient times evil god!
In this dark land, ancient times evil gods were active!
