Within the Demonic Sect, safety was Li Muyang’s greatest concern.
On the way to the Demon Refining Sect, the original body had witnessed a demonic cultivator killing someone in the street. It was simply because the innkeeper did not please the demonic cultivator’s eye, and the innkeeper’s family of six, along with an innocent waiter, were all brutally murdered by the demonic cultivator and died a terrible death.
When the city lord’s officials arrived at the scene, they only fined the murderous demonic cultivator a sum of silver.
This world, where human life was treated so cheaply and the innocent were slaughtered indiscriminately, left a psychological shadow on the original body from the small town and also made the transmigrator Li Muyang feel a constant lack of safety.
Although the Demon Refining Sect was a more orderly but evil sect, no matter how orderly, it was still an evil path.
The lives of ordinary people here can easily be reduced to mere numbers.
Moreover, the world is full of chaos and evil, with cruel and bloodthirsty demon cultivators whose cost of killing is very low.
They might kill for pleasure on a whim.
To avoid being treated like an insect and crushed at will in the territories of the demonic path, one must possess formidable combat power for self-protection—even a powerful background might not be of use, as the demonic path is filled with countless insane and lawless individuals.
Even the son of the Demon Refining Sect’s sect master could be killed by a madman of the demonic path over a mere verbal dispute—and indeed, such an incident has already occurred.Now, with the support of the Endless Spirit Rice Jar, Li Muyang is not lacking in cultivation.
What he needs are items that can rapidly enhance his combat power.
And three low-grade spirit talismans are definitely the quickest trump card for boosting one’s combat power.
When thrown, a single low-grade spirit talisman can instantly kill anyone in the Qi Refining Realm.
Even a Foundation Establishment cultivator could be slain if the talisman is released at the right moment.
This item is far more powerful in enhancing combat power than a mortal-grade flying sword.
Therefore, Li Muyang did not hesitate to choose the second reward.
As Li Muyang made his choice of reward, three light green spirit talismans appeared in his hand.
On the light green talismans, purple talismanic script swirled like dragons flying and phoenixes dancing. The lines of the script, sharp as if carved by a knife or sword, faintly exuded a sharp and ominous aura.
【Taiyi Dividing Light Talisman (low-grade spirit talisman)】
【Instantaneously creates 68,000 Sword Qi illusions, among which 6,800 are real Sword Qi, capable of killing those in the Foundation Establishment Realm】
The system’s description was brief, but the phrase ‘capable of killing those in the Foundation Establishment Realm’…
Such confident and absolute wording suggested that the power of these three low-grade spirit talismans might be even stronger than imagined.
And 68,000 Sword Qi illusions… even if they are just illusions, they sound quite formidable.
Li Muyang curiously flipped the three talismans over and over, then carefully stored them close to his body.
These three talismans would become his strongest trump card at the moment.
Still, Li Muyang hoped he would never have to use these three talismans.
After securing the talismans, Li Muyang looked up at the sky.
In the azure sky, several streaks of light cut across the firmament, heading towards Yunxiao City.
From the direction of Yunxiao City, two more streaks of light were approaching the Demon Refining Sect.
Lately, the Inner Sect disciples of the Demon Refining Sect have been very busy.
It is said to be related to the mysterious person who has been indiscriminately killing demon cultivators in Yunxiao City.
Killing people in the Demon Refining Sect’s stronghold of Yunxiao City without restraint, although the dead demon cultivators were not disciples of the Demonic Sect, such actions still crossed the line of the Demon Refining Sect.
In the Demon Refining Sect’s territory, killing is permissible, but one must pay a penalty fee.
Yet this mysterious person not only killed demon cultivators and drained their corpses but also hid away, clearly not intending to pay the penalty fee, which was a blatant disregard for the rules of the Demon Refining Sect.
It was a provocation against the Demon Refining Sect.
Therefore, the sect dispatched many Inner Sect disciples to descend the mountain and enter the city in pursuit of this mysterious individual.
Even some direct disciples of the elders have come down the mountain to join the hunt.
Nowadays, Yunxiao City is said to be bustling with Inner Sect disciples and even direct disciples.
It is rumored that the Inner Sect has turned this matter into a temporary assessment, where the first to capture the mysterious culprit will receive a reward from the sect.
However, such matters are of no concern to Outer Sect disciples like Li Muyang.
The mysterious person only kills demon cultivators who are at the Foundation Establishment level or higher.
The dead demon cultivators are all at the Foundation Establishment Realm, not very strong, but still easily capable of defeating a group of Outer Sect weaklings.
And the disciples of the Demon Refining Sect’s Inner Sect are also at the Foundation Establishment level.
Li Muyang and the rest of the Outer Sect riffraff, even if they wanted to join in on the excitement, simply didn’t have the qualifications to do so with their mere Qi Refining Realm cultivation.
Thus, Li Muyang was indifferent to the bustling activities within Yunxiao City.
He looked up at the sky, noticing that dusk was approaching.
Before long, his adoptive younger sister, Li Yuechan, would come to feed him.
Li Muyang stood up, dusted off his bottom, and picked up the water bucket to begin using the Cloud and Rain Technique.
Based on his experience, the young girl’s figure would usually appear at the end of the mountain path when he finished watering the spiritual field.
…That’s how it should have been.
However, the usually quiet and deserted mountain path was suddenly filled with noisy sounds when there was still a third of the water left in the bucket and some time before the spiritual field was to be watered.
This was followed by the anxious shouting of a crowd.
Puzzled by the commotion, Li Muyang turned his head only to see a group of Outer Sect disciples hurriedly carrying a stretcher in his direction.
The person running at the front was the panting and sweaty Steward Wang.
“Li Muyang! It’s terrible! Your sister had an accident in the city!”
Steward Wang was gasping for breath, his head covered in sweat.
Although he was a cultivator, his physical strength at the Qi Refining Realm wasn’t much stronger than that of an ordinary person.
The group following Wang Pangzi were also Outer Sect disciples, all of whom Li Muyang recognized as former neighbors who lived near him.
After all, these stewards were responsible for the Outer Sect disciples who generally lived in clusters.
Among them was Li Muyang’s acquaintance, Guan Xiaoshun.
Hearing their shouts, Li Muyang was momentarily stunned before turning his attention to the stretcher.
A pale arm dangled lifelessly from it, belonging to a girl.
Combining this with Wang Pangzi’s cries…
Li Muyang immediately dropped the water bucket and quickly stepped forward to the crowd.
“What happened?”
After reaching the front, Steward Wang and Guan Xiaoshun hurriedly stepped aside, allowing Li Muyang to see the girl lying on the stretcher.
Her face was pale and bloodless, and her eyes, which usually squinted with a smile, were now weakly closed.
The girl’s lips were tightly pressed together, and her breathing was heavy.
She was still wearing the white dress she had on when she left in the morning, but now it was completely stained with blood.
The crimson blood had dried and clotted on the fabric, looking both tragic and helpless.
Seeing the severely injured and bleeding girl before him, Li Muyang’s pupils suddenly constricted.
He was silent for a second, then said,
“First, let’s carry her into my house.”
He directed the few Outer Sect disciples to carry the girl into the house, and Li Muyang carefully laid her down on the bed.
Then he turned to Wang Pangzi: “Steward, could you please ask Doctor Lin to come over?”
“My little sister’s injuries are severe. She might need Doctor Lin’s help.”
