Chapter 5



Does it mean that if I die again, I can start the story from here?

Li Muyang looked at the trembling shopkeeper and then called out the equally trembling shop assistant.

Under Fairy Liuli’s arrangements, the seven corpses were carried to the backyard and laid out side by side.

The seven demon cultivators had turned into a terrifying appearance, half-human and half-monster, with some covered in black scales and others with heads transformed into serpent-like creatures.

Fairy Liuli stood beside the corpses, frowning: “There has been no demonic cultivation tradition in the Nine Provinces since my master Qianye Zhenren eradicated the demons a thousand years ago. Where did these seven demon cultivators come from?”

Fairy Liuli crouched down to examine the corpses of the demon cultivators.

Li Muyang stood by, not approaching.

The bloody corpses looked quite disgusting, a side effect of the game’s overly realistic simulation.

The too-realistic flesh and blood of the corpses were unsettling, and the pungent smell of blood in the air also made Li Muyang frown.

He had been dealing with a lot of sheep blood for half a month and almost got PTSD from the smell.

If it were a game from his previous life, such realistic corpses and splattered blood would likely warrant an 18+ rating.

But Fairy Liuli, true to her role as an instance investigator, carefully examined the bodies and quickly came to a conclusion.

“It seems they are the demons from the once-great Blood Demon Sect of a thousand years ago…”

Fairy Liuli frowned as she stood up, washing the dirty blood from her hands with water.

Li Muyang took note of this information: “The Blood Demon Sect that disappeared a thousand years ago?”

The classic game setting is where the legendary demon lord revives from the ashes after a thousand years, taking advantage of the dynasty’s final years to cause chaos.

It seems that the boss of the Loushan City tutorial for new players is likely a demon cultivator from the Blood Demon Sect.

Li Muyang and Fairy Liuli left the backyard and returned to the inn’s main hall.

Just then, the door was pushed open, and a figure with a huge green health bar walked inside followed by several attendants.

【Guide】

This NPC also had a health bar indicator. He’s a middle-aged man in armor with a slender figure and some white hair at his temples, appearing to be of a certain age.

Upon seeing Fairy Liuli, the guide hurried forward to greet her: “Zhao Erhu, the banner official of Loushan City, pays respects to the fairy.”

Fairy Liuli nodded slightly, saying, “Thank you for your efforts, Lord Zhao.”

Despite her aloof appearance, Fairy Liuli was still very polite.

And it seemed the two knew each other. After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Fairy Liuli asked Zhao Erhu to send attendants to deal with the seven corpses in the backyard.

Then the three of them left the inn, boarded the carriage prepared outside, and as the wheels rolled, the carriage headed towards Loushan City in the distance.

It was a huge stronghold situated between two mountains, with towering and majestic city walls and steep cliffs rising into the clouds on either side of the walls.

It was called a city, but it looked more like a military fortress, spectacularly imposing.

Zhao Erhu looked at the gradually fading sunset in the sky and sighed.

“Now the city is in a state of panic and unrest, and General Wu has ordered the city to be sealed, cutting off the inside from the outside.”

“It is said that the Emperor has decreed that the Demon-Suppressing Master from the Imperial Astronomical Bureau is already on his way. If we wait for that group of Demon-Suppressing Masters to arrive at Loushan City, who knows how many innocent people will die,” Zhao Erhu worriedly expressed his fear of the so-called Demon-Suppressing Masters.

Fairy Liuli sighed and said, “Lord Zhao, there’s no need to worry. As long as we can figure out the situation and eliminate the evil spirits before the Demon-Suppressing Masters arrive, no innocent people will be harmed. Although the Demon-Suppressing Masters are harsh in their methods, they are willing to show mercy if they can avoid causing unnecessary killing.”

Fairy Liuli and Zhao Erhu began discussing the situation in the city. Li Muyang, watching the sky gradually darken outside, remained silent, waiting to enter the city.

Based on his gaming experience, this kind of NPC dialogue or a cutscene setting the stage usually posed no danger.

Sure enough, the carriage safely traversed the deserted mountain path outside Loushan City and entered through the grand and thick city gates without any mishaps.

However, as the carriage they were in exited the gate tunnel and entered the streets of Loushan City, the task bar in Li Muyang’s field of vision updated again.

【Accompany Fairy Liuli into Loushan City — Completed】

【Current task progress has been saved】

【New task: Survive safely with Fairy Liuli for ten minutes】

The sudden update of the task log made Li Muyang purse his lips.

It was the same old pattern. Danger always came after entering the city.

Glancing at the countdown appearing in the upper right corner of his vision, Li Muyang lifted the curtain of the carriage to look outside.

The empty streets were eerily silent, devoid of any human figures, and they seemed rather sinister under the moonlight.

At this moment, the deserted city under the moonlight felt like an abandoned ghost town, with a faint smell of blood wafting through the air.

Li Muyang was all too familiar with this scent and immediately turned to look at Fairy Liuli inside the carriage.

At this time, Fairy Liuli was still talking to Zhao Erhu and had not noticed anything unusual outside.

Li Muyang interrupted the two, “Fairy, something seems off in the city…”

The chilling aura of the city, the scent of blood in the air, and the constantly ticking countdown numbers in the upper right corner of his vision all indicated that danger was imminent.

Li Muyang took it upon himself to alert Fairy Liuli.

After all, in terms of cultivation and attributes, Fairy Liuli’s combat power was far superior to his own, making her a reliable ally in battle.

However, before Fairy Liuli could respond to Li Muyang’s words, a violent tremor struck the carriage.

Inside the carriage, Li Muyang felt a sudden jolt, and he fell into darkness the next second.

“Die randomly again?”

Back in the cottage of the Demon Refining Sect, Li Muyang abruptly sat up.

He opened his eyes somewhat speechlessly. His death had come too suddenly.

He hadn’t even had time to pause time, nor had he seen clearly how he died.

It felt like the carriage had been hit by something, and then he was gone.

Sitting on the hard bed, Li Muyang closed his eyes, and the moonlit, sinister image of Loushan City reappeared in his vision.

On this CG, there were several lines of large text.

【Would you like to continue the tutorial?】

【Yes/No】

Looking at the options, Li Muyang was about to select 【Yes】 when suddenly a rumble came from his stomach.

He was hungry.

The game-addicted Li Muyang then opened his eyes and realized that it had gotten dark outside without him noticing, and he hadn’t eaten dinner yet, his stomach growling with hunger.

“Sigh… The last time I was this engrossed in a game was… ” Li Muyang remarked with a sense of nostalgia.

This game really has something special. He hadn’t been this engrossed in a long time, to the point where he even forgot to eat.

After flipping out of bed, Li Muyang started to make a fire and cook.

Although the Outer Sect disciples of the Demon Refining Sect were considered cultivators, their lives weren’t much different from those of menial workers.

For an ordinary disciple like Li Muyang, who had no background or status, he was at the very bottom of the hierarchy, having to take care of his own meals and boiling water.

Opening the empty rice container, he scooped out two large ladles of spiritual rice and began to cook.

Although his cooking skills were average, the spiritual rice provided by the Demon Refining Sect was truly excellent, even more fragrant than the Wuchang rice he had eaten in his previous life, and it even benefited his cultivation.

But looking at the dwindling supply of spiritual rice in the container, Li Muyang hesitated.

“Um… have I been eating too much lately?”

Although the spiritual rice was delicious, his appetite had certainly increased compared to the original owner of the body.

It was only mid-month, and the spiritual rice that had just been distributed was nearly gone.

Looking at the scant amount of spiritual rice left in the container, Li Muyang suddenly felt the same kind of embarrassment he had in college when he realized his living expenses were almost spent.

“I need to find a way to get some more spiritual rice!”
