Chapter 447 Autumn Leaves Mutually Yearn
The little girl who had just escaped the perilous situation was very scared.
She was terrified that the white-clad Immortal beside her would mistake her for a demon and slit her throat.
However, Li Muyang, looking at the trembling child, shook his head slightly.
"I know it wasn't you who controlled them."
As Li Muyang beheld the gory sight of the corpses greedily devouring the dead bodies of Qianwu guards, he could only sigh again—things on the Tianyuan Continent sure are wild.
All sorts of chaotic and messed-up specters and monsters here are way more imaginative than those from the neighboring continent.
A seemingly harmless little girl could actually control corpses and even cause them to demonize... Heh...
He stood next to the prison cart, looking at the little girl inside, and asked,
"Have you always had the ability to control corpses?"
The little girl timidly nodded her head: "I've had it for a long time... I was four when my father told me to keep it a secret, not to let others know."
The girl's timid demeanor filled me with pity.
But Li Muyang's expression didn't change; he completely ignored the ploy for sympathy and continued questioning.
"Was it always this strong?"
The little girl shook her head innocently, "Before, I could only make the corpses of small cats and dogs stand up..."
Very well, being able to control ten corpses at once was indeed due to Li Muyang depleting her energy.
Watching the ten corpses around him, as soon as the six Qianwu guards' bodies were devoured, all ten corpses obediently lay down motionless.
Their eating was so ferocious that they could crunch bones and swallow them, leaving nothing but some remnants of clothing at the scene.
Without having witnessed it with their own eyes, one would never imagine that six Qianwu guards had died here.
The task of destroying evidence had been outright bypassed.
Looking at the messy murder scene, Li Muyang pondered how to continue the conversation.
Just then, a quest prompt popped up in his vision.
[Initial Quest: The Immortal in the Dream—Completed]
[The Sleeping Girl Has Escaped Danger]
Seeing this prompt, Li Muyang's eyebrows raised slightly.
Is the quest completed just like that?
What about the follow-up quests?
Just as this thought emerged, his mind suddenly stirred.
The powerful perceptive abilities of the Spirit Travel Realm alerted him to someone rapidly approaching.
Li Muyang immediately gestured to the little girl not to move and looked towards the dark and gloomy forest.
The little girl obediently nodded in agreement and activated her powers to make the ten corpses stand up.

Cradling the wooden box, she headed westward and said, "Tang Mengchen is my second mother, originally a courtesan from Qinglou, whom my father brought home as a side consort."
"She was usually harsh and stingy, fond of vanity..."
The little girl hesitantly narrated her impression of the second mother, her gaze somewhat vacant.
She clearly had not expected that, at such a crucial moment of life and death, her second mother would come to find her.
Could it be that the harsh and vain second mother was a facade?
Li Muyang listened to her story and shook his head, "The interpersonal relationships in your family are indeed complicated."
From the girl's story, her second mother... seemed like a spy.
Specifically planted by her father's side to gather important intelligence.
But he had not expected that this spy would take action to rescue her at such a moment... Was she truly moved?
Li Muyang had no interest in such melodramatic love stories.
What interested him were the ten corpses behind them.
The ten soldier corpses followed behind them, moving in step and expressionless in face.
However, after the recent battle, the corpses had clearly become stronger, with faint black mists emerging from them.
Was this game account that of a Summoner? Or possibly a Puppet Master?
Relying on controlling Puppets to kill enemies?
Li Muyang tried to guess the nature of the girl's abilities.
But not long after they walked into the forest, three silent arrows suddenly flew out of the darkness ahead.
Although this time the bodies shielded the girl from a fatal blow,
seeing the ambush still gave Li Muyang a headache.
"...They're relentless!"
The Qiangu Guard, without any presence yet capable of demonization, were they truly after the little girl to kill her?
How petty could the Emperor of the Tianyuan Dynasty be!
So fixated on exterminating the daughter of a convicted official, an eight-year-old child... he'd be better off dealing with the rebels.
The main forces of the rebellion had already reached the outskirts of Heiyuan Pass!
Wordlessly watching the six Qiangu Guards appear in the forest ahead, Li Muyang, familiar with their setup and numbers, could only control the ten corpses to charge forward.
At this moment, he was utterly speechless toward the unseen Emperor.
It was the end of the dynasty indeed; the last Emperor really lacked reasonable people...
