Chapter 159 The Legendary Witness
Li Muyang was somewhat terrified.
The appearance of that ghastly pale face was too eerie, and in the moment of his astonished distraction, it killed him instantly.
This really shocked Li Muyang.
Something wasn't right!
In "Call of the Mountains," Li Muyang was using the character card of the Nameless constable, which had no connection to Jiang Xiaoyu.
How could that ghostly thing have mistaken Li Muyang for a relative?
And it specifically added a mention of Black Cloud Fort... How bizarre!
Li Muyang once again loaded his saved progress and entered the game.
Feeling that something was off, he chose not to attack this time and instead tricked the Glass Immortal Maiden into attacking the Magician in white before he returned.
The Glass Immortal Maiden frowned and refused Li Muyang's request, unwilling to attack the Magician in white.
But the innocent Maiden ultimately couldn't resist Li Muyang's sweet talk, and half-deceived, half-coaxed by Li Muyang, she launched an attack on the Magician in white.
The Maiden's attack was also abrupt, though not as ruthless as Li Muyang's, leaving some room for mercy.
Even so, the face behind the head of the Magician in white reacted in time.
"You are family! You are family from Black Cloud Fort!"
The crying face shouted excitedly, lunging toward the Glass Immortal Maiden.
Seeing this scene, Li Muyang confirmed his suspicions.
It seemed that the creature didn't recognize his connection to Jiang Xiaoyu, rather it called everyone it saw a family member from Black Cloud Fort.
Damn it!
This thing was definitely related to the group of Demon Cultivators from the Temple-Sealing Lord.
After all, the villagers who had followed the Temple-Sealing Lord in practicing demon arts were later expelled from the fort by Granny Gu and were no longer allowed back.
Now, however, they appeared within the body of a Demon Suppression Magus from Imperial Heaven, which was slightly sinister and frightening.
Initially, he thought the Demon Suppression Magus of Imperial Heaven was only connected with Black Cloud Fort, but he discovered more than anticipated.
Li Muyang exited the game and reloaded the saved game.
In "Lethal Wildgrass," the group of foreign Demon Cultivators who hid behind the mountain of Black Cloud Fort in a limestone cave, were up to something.
Li Muyang had earlier wondered how anyone not a descendant of Black Cloud Fort could possess its sinister veins.
"Even the notoriously evil Blood Demon Path's devilish beings are said to come from Black Cloud Fort."
"My master once said that this was the most terrifyingly unpredictable forbidden zone of life in Ancient Times, containing great horrors."
During the wait, Glass Immortal Maiden narrated the origins of these bizarre malevolent beings to Li Muyang.
However, the content she narrated sounded somewhat complex to Li Muyang, a "direct witness."
Black Cloud Fort... a forbidden zone of life? Containing great horrors?
Although Black Cloud Fort did indeed have something sinister, these added words seemed somewhat far-fetched.
The closest mortal town to Black Cloud Fort was merely fifty miles away.
Country peddlers often ran to Black Cloud Fort to sell goods, attracting swarms of kids every time.
When Little Wild Grass was young, Li Muyang often spent money with those rural peddlers.
If it weren't for the numerous evil spirits suppressed beneath the ancestral temple and the scheming Demon Cultivators like Temple-Sealing Lord, Black Cloud Fort would seem virtually like a secluded paradise away from the mundane world.
But as for legends, of course, they tend to become more exaggerated as they spread.
Not to mention, after the Dark Era, there had been a period of historical amnesia in human history.
Even with Real Person Qingye's high cultivation level, he could only speculate about the conditions during Ancient Times based on scant clues from ancient texts.
Li Muyang did not correct Glass Immortal Maiden's inaccuracies but quietly listened to her narrative.
"...The Ancient Grudge Well is said to be the source of all evil spirits; it is rumored that all the evils of the world crawled out from the well once located near what used to be Black Cloud Fort."
"If the Ancient Grudge Well could be sealed, perhaps all the malevolent spirits in the world could be eradicated, protecting countless living beings from the disturbance of such malevolent forces."
Under the moonlight, Glass Immortal Maiden softly spoke these words.
In her eyes, a bright gleam flickered.
For such a great mission, traveling and having the chance to realize such a grand aspiration filled Glass Immortal Maiden with joy and expectancy, yet she felt unease.
Li Muyang glanced at her and asked, "Since the Ancient Grudge Well is so crucial, why didn't you invite your master, Real Person Qingye, to come personally?"
"Wouldn't his presence ensure a more secure operation?"
Following the Dark Era, the path of immortality for cultivators was severed.
Even those highly accomplished in the Purple Mansion realm rarely lived past five hundred years.
That is why this is considered a despair-filled Dharma-Ending Age.
Yet Real Person Qingye has lived for over a thousand years...
Li Muyang was curious—could it be that within the heavenly Empire of Tianyuan, beyond the Misty Sea, a true immortal had appeared among the worldly beings?
