The fairies I flirted with in the game became real?!-Chapter 517 Shocking News
The aura emanating from those counterfeit stone statues was filled with a gloomy and malevolent intent, certainly not of a benevolent nature.
Unless it was the enemy of Little Wild Grass, Li Muyang couldn’t think of any reason for the adversary to mix in counterfeits.
"...How did you discover it?"
Li Muyang looked at Yu Chan with a strange expression and asked.
The stone statues of Little Wild Grass had been circulating for so many years, and this was the first time someone had discovered a fake among them.

In response, Yu Chan sighed and said, "I found it by accident when I was trying to help you collect these statues."
"But the very first statue I got my hands on turned out to be a fake... talk about bad luck."
In fact, her discovery of the counterfeit was purely by chance.
Ever since her brother returned from the Hehuan Sect, he had suddenly become interested in the statue of Fairy Qinghe.
This made Li Yuechan curious whether her brother had gained some benefits from Fairy Qinghe’s statue at the Hehuan Sect.
She too had made a few trips to Yunxiao City, helping her brother look for these statues and had even successfully found one.
But during a skirmish with a Demon Cultivator, the statue was accidentally shattered by the opponent, which led to the discovery of its peculiar anomaly...
Looking at the pile of debris on the ground, Li Yuechan said, "The genuine statue of Fairy Qinghe, when broken, would take around two years to repair itself."
"But a counterfeit, once shattered, would automatically attack nearby living creatures, draw blood, and quickly restore itself."
"I don’t know what this thing is, but it doesn’t feel like a force for good."
After finishing, Li Yuechan looked at her brother with concern, "Brother, you must be very careful when searching for Fairy Qinghe’s statues in the future. Verify them closely."
"Carrying such ill-intentioned counterfeits could have unforeseen consequences; it’s best to keep your distance."
Li Muyang nodded solemnly, "Understood, I’ll be careful in the future."
The revelation brought by Yu Chan was exceedingly significant.
Li Muyang had never imagined that someone would maliciously forge Little Wild Grass’s statues... what were their intentions?
Weren’t the ancient divine beings from the dark catastrophe working together against The Peaceful Realms?
Why were there still conflicts within their own ranks? Damn it!
After seeing Yu Chan off, Li Muyang looked at the two counterfeit statues behind him, frowning slightly.
The statues had a strange origin and were extremely sinister, so Li Muyang decided to destroy them.
However, after trying a few conventional methods, he found that the statues were more difficult to destroy than he had anticipated.
Only the flames from the Alchemy Furnace could inflict some damage on the statues.
Li Muyang ordered the maid to light the Alchemy Furnace and threw the two counterfeit statues into it, instructing the maids to refine them.
He then felt at ease to return to his quiet room, wanting to make use of the gap before the Young Sect Master of the Hehuan Sect paid a visit to continue strategizing for the game’s BOSS.
Now, with a formidable enemy at hand and turmoil within the Refinement Demon Sect.
Li Muyang hoped he could further enhance his strength.
It would be best to clear this game before Zi Weiheng decided to make his move.
After loading the game, Li Muyang arrived at the Martial Virtue Hall shrouded in bewitching fog.
He took the little girl Nie Yubing with him and walked toward the fog ahead.
The sound of a flute was delightful within the mist, but Li Muyang’s expression was calm and undisturbed.
Now, he could steadily reduce the nine-tailed fox’s health to two-thirds, making it to the third phase every challenge.
But the nine-tailed fox, once reverted to its true form in the third phase, had formidable combat strength and a variety of wide-ranging skills that were a real headache to deal with.
A mere touch meant death, a bump meant destruction, leaving almost no room for error.
However, Li Muyang also noticed that after entering the third phase, the nine-tailed fox’s attack skills became much more rigid.
Even though each attack was immensely powerful, it had fewer variations than in the previous two phases.
Under such conditions, he only needed a bit more time to predict and memorize when she would strike and which area she would target.
Clearing the game would come easily.
So Li Muyang was not in a hurry.
He patiently observed the nine-tailed fox’s attack patterns and attack range.
Again and again he failed, and again and again he reloaded the game.
With every reload, Li Muyang was able to inflict more damage on the nine-tailed fox, getting one step closer to success.
In such a highly focused and concentrated state, Li Muyang almost forgot how much time he had spent in the game.
When he finally brought down the massive figure of the nine-tailed fox, killing this ancient beast in the fog-enshrouded royal palace, Li Muyang looked at the kill notification that popped up in his field of vision, and only then took a long breath and felt in the mood to check the time.
However, upon opening his eyes and returning to reality, Li Muyang was astonished to find that it was deep into the night.
Outside, the moon was high in the sky, and the grounds of the Refinement Demon Sect were tranquil and peaceful, without any sign of disturbance.
But this scene suggested... had he really spent a whole day and night in the game?
Damn!
Realizing this, Li Muyang got up from his meditation room in shock and summoned his maid.
"Didn’t you have instructions to call me if there were any matters? Today is the Hehuan Sect envoy’s visit to our mountain, isn’t it?"
Li Muyang asked with a frown.
Although he had no interest in the Young Sect Master of the Hehuan Sect, the other party’s visit and the matter of the engagement were significant events. If he wasn’t present to accompany them and breached proprieties, the Ancestor of Demon Refinement, that old demon head, would probably rage, wouldn’t he?
Why hadn’t these maids come to inform him?
With confusion in his heart, Li Muyang inquired about the reason.
The maids hurriedly explained, "Your Highness, the envoys from the Hehuan Sect didn’t come to visit the mountain today."
The orders Li Muyang had left with them before his seclusion, they naturally remembered well and dared not defy.
But as the Hehuan Sect hadn’t come to visit the mountain today, and the Sect hadn’t sent anyone to convey orders, the maids hesitated for a while and then didn’t dare to disturb Li Muyang, who was in closed-door intensive cultivation.
All they could do was wait outside for news.
Hearing the maids’ explanation, Li Muyang furrowed his brow.
"Wasn’t it said that they’d come today to visit the mountain? Why didn’t they come?"
Had the Hehuan Sect changed their mind again?
Or had something happened?
Li Muyang looked towards the maids, indeed hearing some news.
"...Your Highness, the Young Sect Master of the Hehuan Sect was attacked within Yunxiao City."
"Several of the Hehuan Sect’s envoys, including Liu Lian’er, were injured."
"Now, the envoys from the Hehuan Sect are recovering from their injuries within Yunxiao City, and the entire city is under martial law. The Sect Master was even alarmed and went personally to Yunxiao City to hunt the assailant."
"Because of this unexpected situation, the scheduled mountain visit for today was canceled..."
The maids cautiously relayed the situation outside.
Li Muyang, upon hearing this, was somewhat astonished, "Someone attacked the Hehuan Sect’s envoys within Yunxiao City? And all of them were injured?"
This is nonsense!
It might be plausible for others, but Ghost Lodging Seven, the Master of the Immortal Device, was among the Hehuan Sect’s emissary group.
With an Immortal Artifact in his company and accompanying Liu Lian’er within Yunxiao City, the Refinement Demon Sect’s stronghold, who could be so mighty as to injure him?
Was Ghost Lodging Seven such an embarrassment?
Or could it be...
At this moment, a shiver of dread suddenly passed through Li Muyang’s mind.
The person capable of injuring the Master of Immortal Device...
In Li Muyang’s mind, the figure of the monster from the Misty Sea suddenly emerged.
That monster definitely had the power to do so and also had a reason to take action, as it and the Master of Immortal Device were already enemies...
Could it be that the monster had come ashore and made its way to the Refinement Demon Sect?
Holy shit!
