THE FAIRIES I FLIRTED WITH IN THE GAME BECAME REAL?!
Chapter 562 - 562: UndercurrentsIn Qingmu Lake, washed by a torrential rain, huge vague shadows of Jiao dragons roamed underwater.
Those large dark shadows had spread death and terror across the land in the remote past.
Now the massive dragon shadows roaming underwater were enough to awaken the hidden fears in the blood of the people on this land.
But at this moment, in the cold stormy rain, the only witness to this terrifying scene was an old man with white hair and a body covered in scars.
The old man had suffered severe injuries; the massive wounds almost tore his body apart, and in the storm, the shocking wounds were bleeding profusely.
Yet, despite such severe injuries, the old man was still walking on the lake.
He watched the magnificent scene of the Jiao dragons wandering underwater with interest, as if admiring a beautiful piece of art he had created.
Meanwhile, in the clouds shrouding Qingmu Lake from above, a pale man opened his eyes, returning from the mysterious dark void.
He looked at Qingmu Lake engulfed in dark clouds below and then glanced at the oddly behaving “Heaven Heart Old Man.”
In the moments before his death and final farewell to everyone, he had made an unexpected discovery.
Unexpectedly, the mysterious Cang Su San had been watching the “Heaven Heart Old Man” below a long time ago.
And this mysterious “Heaven Heart Old Man” was completely unaware of it…
In the moist clouds, Zi Weiheng closed his eyes.
He was a dying man and felt no need to concern himself with worldly matters anymore.
As for the “Heaven Heart Old Man” below, he knew the other had ulterior motives.
But it didn’t matter; everyone had their needs.
Thinking this, Zi Weiheng smiled.
He half-closed his eyes, feeling his mother’s corpse wandering in the clouds and coming to his side.
Without opening his eyes, he spoke to his mother’s corpse.
“… Mother, let’s go.”
As for the fact that Cang Su San had been watching the man below long ago, Zi Weiheng naturally saw no need to inform him.
As Zi Weiheng finished speaking, his pale, gaunt hands reached out.
Suddenly, Qingmu Lake under the shrouding clouds burst into activity.
A huge black tornado emerged from the clouds.
The colossal black tornado spun wildly, constantly nearing the lake below until the violent wind and the lake water joined, forming a rare and spectacular waterspout.
The clouds above frantically drew water from the lake below, and large dark Jiao dragon shadows rose from the storm connecting heaven and earth, quickly disappearing into the clouds condensed in the sky.
This spectacular and shocking waterspout continued for two hours.
When Qingmu Lake, vast with ripples, calmed down again, a hoarse, aged dragon chant sounded between heaven and earth.
In the dense clouds above, countless Jiao dragon shadows could be vaguely seen threading through the clouds.
At this moment, the overwhelming clouds stretching to the horizon became a fast passage for the group of Jiao dragon corpses!
And under the cover of the clouds, the shadows of these Jiao dragon corpses quickly faded.
Eventually, they were almost imperceptible.
On the calmed Qingmu Lake, the “Heaven Heart Old Man” gazed at the departing group of Jiao dragon corpses.
Squinting, he watched them disappear into the horizon and murmured softly to himself,
“… Jiang Xiaoyu, I hope your death is miserable.”
The old man’s dreamlike murmurs quickly dissipated in the wind.
In the next second, a light breeze swept over Qingmu Lake, and the “Heaven Heart Old Man,” covered in scars, vanished into the lake.
This tranquil dead lake, silent for over seven hundred years, had once again regained its former eerie stillness…
Refinement Demon Sect, Law Enforcement Hall on Suspended Island.
A certain ominous rumor was spreading within the sect.
The news that Li Muyang’s younger sister was captured at Snow Peak and imprisoned in the Black Dungeon quickly spread throughout the sect.
For the monks of the Demon Sect, this was very unexpected news.
Previously, Qing Yang had been relentlessly pursuing Li Muyang, to the point where even the leader, Elder Tianxin, was alarmed and was willing to fight the Sect Master in order to take Li Muyang away.
At first, everyone thought that the legendary heir to Corpse Immortal was this newly appointed Li Muyang.
But while the sect was hunting down the mysterious demon lurking near Refinement Demon Sect, they also treated Li Muyang favorably, and each time the mysterious demon committed a crime, Li Muyang had a very clear alibi.
So gradually, people came to believe that this newly appointed sponsor of Refinement Demon Sect was not the heir to Corpse Immortal.
But now, with Li Yuechan’s imprisonment, people suddenly realized.
Li Muyang wasn’t the heir to Corpse Immortal, but his sister was the heir to Corpse Immortal!
This then explained why Qing Yang had been so relentless in pursuing Li Muyang.
Upon hearing this, many were enlightened.
Having his sister become the heir to Corpse Immortal and subsequently imprisoned was a huge blow to Li Muyang, who had just been promoted.
Refinement Demon Sect’s laws were extremely harsh, dealing severely even with the worst criminals by pursuing collective punishment.
Yet now, the sect took no action against Li Muyang, seemingly not intending to pursue the “complicity” charges against this newly appointed protector.
This caused many to frown.
Li Muyang was rising swiftly, promoted to protector at a young age, treated like an elder, with rapidly improving skills and exceptional talent, his future seemingly boundless to the naked eye.
But there were only a few positions of power within the sect, and if Li Muyang were to ascend, certainly others’ interests would be harmed.
And intrigue was always the mainstream at the demon gate.
Within the Refinement Demon Sect, intrigue roiled undetected, and the atmosphere turned precarious.
But given the unclear situation, nobody dared to openly test the waters.
However, sotto voce maneuvers were numerous.
Those cultivators who had died at the hands of the heir to Corpse Immortal, though dead and gone, had family and kin.
Now, the families of these victims surged to the gates of Refinement Demon Sect, loudly demanding that Li Muyang come out and explain himself.
Yet, astonishingly, Refinement Demon Sect seemed to ignore this uproar as if they planned to disregard it.
Such a reaction, under the current circumstances, seemed ambiguous.
Soon after, the young master of Hehuan Sect left abruptly with others from the sect and returned to Hehuan Sect.
This news was even more explosive.
Originally, this young master had come to engage Li Muyang as her Protector.
But now, at this critical juncture, she had suddenly left in such haste.
This unavoidably led to speculation.
Could it be… could it be that this newly appointed protector Li Muyang was already about to fall?
Had the young master of Hehuan Sect received a tip-off, which made her decisively abandon the originally appointed Protector?
At this, the “families of the victims” demanding explanations from Li Muyang outside the gates of Refinement Demon Sect only increased.
Even within the sect, strange shadows occasionally lingered and passed by the courtyard where Li Muyang resided.
