The fairies I flirted with in the game became real?!-Chapter 529: If You Are the Murderer
Liu Lian’er was injured once again, and this time her injuries were even more severe, news of which spread in a small area within Yunxiao City.
After the news had gone out, young talents from various elite sects flocked to the lodging place of the Hehuan Sect’s envoy group, hoping to take advantage of this excellent opportunity to show their attentions to Liu Lian’er.
Outside Liu Lian’er’s residence, a crowd of handsome young men and beautiful women had gathered.
But Liu Lian’er had tightly closed her doors, refusing all visitors.
There were rumors saying that the mysterious person who had hurt her was very powerful, possibly a reclusive old monster at the Eternal Heaven Realm, and that this time she had narrowly escaped death.
Many people were speculating about the identity of this mysterious person and were curious as to why they had a grudge against the Hehuan Sect.
The Hehuan Sect had always been good at making connections, maintaining harmonious relationships with both the Path of Immortality and the Demon Path, and seldom made enemies in the world.
But such discussions were only held in small circles.
The main topic within Yunxiao City still revolved around the grand battle that was soon to come.
Both inside and outside the city, the atmosphere was buzzing with excitement.
In the shadows under the night sky, a young girl who had merged with the darkness and returned quietly to her sect vanished into the clouds, silently landing on the edge of the Enforcement Hall’s Suspended Island.
Only when the girl’s feet touched the land of the Suspended Island did the Refinement Demon Sect’s array, which was set up to guard against enemies moving stealthily and launching surprise attacks, fail to react at all.
This powerful array that had been designed to turn the entire Refinement Demon Sect into an impenetrable fortress was now ineffective before Li Yuechan.
However, Li Yuechan wasn’t surprised by this.
She tiptoed out from the bamboo grove and made her way to the small courtyard nestled within the bamboo grove.
This secluded and quiet courtyard used to belong to her brother.
But after her brother had become a Direct Disciple, he had his own independent housing, enjoying a life of luxury with everything provided for him.
And so, Li Muyang’s originally secluded little bamboo hut had been occupied by Li Yuechan.
Now, Li Yuechan stealthily entered the bamboo hut, slowly stood up from a shadow in the corner of the wall.
However, at that moment, there was another Li Yuechan inside the bamboo hut.
"She" was sitting in a meditative posture on a bamboo couch, eyes slightly closed, inhaling and exhaling to cultivate, engaged in her practice.
Li Yuechan, who had stood up from the shadow in the corner, walked straight to the "Li Yuechan" beside the bed and blew a gentle breath at the "Li Yuechan" who was seriously cultivating.
The next second, the "Li Yuechan" who was sitting on the couch and meditating dissolved into countless tiny light points and vanished into the air.
Having completed all this, Li Muyang finally let out a sigh of relief, his entire body collapsing wearily onto the bamboo couch.
"...I’m absolutely exhausted."
Li Yuechan complained in a low voice, with her right hand still pressed against her waist.
Though the wound at her waist had healed, the lingering malicious energy inside tormented her, causing unbearable pain.
Reflecting on the confrontation just past, Li Yuechan murmured to herself.
"Indeed, after reaching the Spirit Travel Realm, even the most obscure cultivators are no easy opponents."
An unheard-of Loose Cultivator, whose name was Nameless, even her teacher said that this person’s aura was unstable, that they had advanced to the Spirit Travel Realm only with the aid of external items.
But when Li Yuechan truly took action to subdue the person, the opponent unexpectedly unleashed a power that was unimaginably formidable.
The unprepared Li Yuechan was caught off guard on the spot.
If it had not been for her teacher’s intervention, she might even have let this seemingly ordinary Loose Cultivator escape...
Collapsed on the bamboo couch, Li Yuechan spoke softly, "Taking down eight Spirit Travel Realm Demon Cultivators in one day made too big of a splash."
"Teacher, I plan to rest for a few days. Not only do I need to assimilate the Demonic Qi from those different species I’ve taken, but I also want to lay low."
"These past days, I’ve felt a strange undercurrent within Yunxiao City."
"Even though Elder Tianxin is about to come and kill, the sect still seems to be looking for me..."
Li Yuechan said, feeling a headache tinged with regret.
The situation in Yunxiao City had attracted powerful cultivators from both the immortal and demon factions, as well as many mysterious and strange loose cultivators.
Opportunities like this, where experts gathered in droves and cultivators of the Spirit Travel Realm roamed everywhere, were hard to come by a second time.
Yet the Refinement Demon Sect had never loosened their pursuit of her, which forced Li Yuechan to also act with caution, reluctantly abandoning the opportunity to assassinate more demon cultivators.
What should have been a grand, buffet-like opportunity had now been prematurely ended by the forced cessation of her hunt.
The girl lying limply on the bed felt a sense of regret.
The voice that rang in her ears then spoke faintly.
"...I told you before that it’s better to keep a low profile," it said.
"Although this was indeed a once-in-a-millennium opportunity, missing it means you’ll have a hard time finding so many rootless Spirit Travel Realm loose cultivators to hunt."
"Now that you’ve changed your mind, as your teacher, I am relieved," the voice continued.
The mysterious woman’s voice sighed softly, "Rest easy these two days and wait for the epochal battle the day after tomorrow."
"Elder Tianxin from the Green Sheep Society and the Sect Master of the Refinement Demon Sect... heh... even I can’t help but be curious about the outcome of this battle," she added.
"It concerns the future fortunes of the two sects. If the Sect Master of the Demon Refining Sect dies, it will undoubtedly be good for you."
In the future, the Sect Master would be Li Yuechan’s sister-in-law. With that relationship in place, Li Yuechan would no longer need to live in constant fear, always hiding and skulking about.
However, just as the mysterious woman finished speaking and Li Yuechan was about to respond to her teacher,
suddenly a sound of Escaping Light landing came from the open space outside the bamboo house.
Immediately after, an unfamiliar voice that Li Yuechan did not recognize resounded outside the bamboo house.
"...By order of the Sect Master, we are to search the Enforcement Hall."
"The disciple inside, come out and submit to the inspection. We suspect the culprit who attacked our demon cultivator brethren within Yunxiao City is in this very room!"
Li Yuechan was startled by the icy voice that echoed from outside.
She looked bewildered toward the bamboo house exterior, momentarily unsure of what to do.
No sooner had she arrived than those pursuing her had followed; had the sect already discovered her presence?
A sense of shock and unease filled Li Yuechan’s heart.
But after a few seconds of silence, she still got up calmly, opened the door, and saw more than a dozen disciples of the Trampling Snow Peak surrounding it.
This group of Trampling Snow Peak disciples belonged to the Sect Master’s lineage and wielded tremendous power.
Although the tasks of enforcing the sect’s rules were generally carried out by the disciples of the Enforcement Hall, the authority of the Trampling Snow Peak could still overrule that of the Enforcement Hall.
Li Yuechan obediently subjected herself to the inspection, watching as the group of Trampling Snow Peak disciples poured into her room, beginning to search.
At the same time, she glanced at the Direct Disciple from Trampling Snow Peak beside her and said,
"This fellow disciple... you must be the legendary Master Wei Zizhen, known for his dual excellence in painting and calligraphy, right?"
A warm smile appeared on Li Yuechan’s face, an attempt to cozy up.

However, Wei Zizhen was indifferent to the girl’s friendliness.
He simply watched her coldly, speaking in a chilling tone, "There’s no need to ingratiate yourself. If you’re not the culprit, I won’t make things difficult for you."
"But if you are the culprit..."
Wei Zizhen cast the girl a frigid glance and looked away, "Even your brother Li Muyang won’t be able to save you if you’re the culprit!"
After speaking, Wei Zizhen instructed the others inside the house.
"Search carefully! Search thoroughly! Don’t overlook any corner!"
