The fairies I flirted with in the game became real?!-Chapter 546: Guan Xiaoshun’s System Crash
Guan Xiaoshun looked astonished and muttered under his breath.
Facing the youth’s surprise, the mysterious man offered no explanations.
He simply shook his head indifferently and said, "Anyway, you just escape with your life."
"But this matter is only for you to know, and you are the only one allowed to escape."
"You must not tell anyone else about this, nor may you bring anyone with you."
"I have an irreconcilable blood feud with the Refinement Demon Sect, and I intend to slaughter the entire sect to repay this blood feud with their blood."
"Apart from you, all cultivators of the sect are to be killed!"
Having said this, the mysterious man’s figure vanished from among the mists.
And the cloud that had floated past the law enforcement hall on Suspended Island also drifted away with the wind, soon vanishing into the distant horizon.
The enigmatic predecessor who had appeared in the cloud and his words seemed unreal, as if they were part of an illusion.
Guan Xiaoshun stood dazedly in the courtyard until the intense sunlight showered down on him and the slight prickling pain of his skin under the direct sunlight snapped him back to reality.
"Predecessor..."
Looking up at the direction where the cloud had disappeared, Guan Xiaoshun’s gaze seemed lost.
The news that had figuratively hit him in the face was too overwhelming, and he didn’t know what he should do next.
Instinctively, the first thing he thought of was to seek help from his senior brother, Li.
If there was a formidable enemy seeking revenge on the Refinement Demon Sect, he had to inform Li as soon as possible, so he could warn the Sect Master and the elders to be prepared to defend against the attack.
But Guan Xiaoshun had barely taken a few steps outside when he hesitated.
His face showed his dilemma.
"...If I tell senior brother Li and the sect, wouldn’t I be betraying the predecessor?"
"The predecessor guided me on the path of cultivation and taught me the Cultivation Technique. Now, he has made a special visit to tell me to leave... With such a great debt of kindness, how can I betray him and reveal his plans to others?"
"But the predecessor said I could only escape alone, I can’t bring anyone with me. Senior brother Li has been equally as kind to me, how... how can I abandon him and escape alone?"
"But if I escape together with senior brother Li, then I would be betraying the predecessor’s instruction..."
Under the scorching sun, Guan Xiaoshun became rigid.

He stood still in the blistering sun, sweating profusely, his mind becoming more muddled the more he thought, his headache intensifying.
At last, the youth’s complexion turned pale, and his gaze trembled uncontrollably.
Clearly unsure of what to do, he found himself completely immobilized on the spot.
While the young man from the border town agonized over the sudden warning from the predecessor and what he should do,
Li Muyang was in the midst of a game, launching an attack on the white-robed monk, Ming Xiu, under the Bodhi Tree.
He was attempting to defeat this BOSS before Ming Xiu could conduct the rites for the Sword Immortal’s remains.
But his best score so far was only managing to deplete half of the white-robed monk’s health bar before being saved by the rites.
Depleting half the health bar within this time limit seemed to be the limit of what was achievable within the rules.
Li Muyang was using the Save-File Divine Skill to almost predict the future in his battle against Ming Xiu, with each of his attacking skills striking preemptively.
However, after a dazzling array of maneuvers, he was still successfully saved by Ming Xiu.
Li Muyang opened his eyes in the meditation room.
"...It doesn’t make sense!"
Reflecting on the battle in the game, he frowned, deep in thought, reviewing this session’s mistakes and insights.
Yet the more he reviewed it, the more certain Li Muyang became that he had made no mistakes.
This time, it had been his best effort yet, depleting the most health from the BOSS.
But Ming Xiu under the Bodhi Tree hadn’t even entered the second phase; his health bar was only half depleted.
"Could there be some special tactic?"
Li Muyang frowned in thought.
This level, if there were no special tactics to overcome Monk Ming Xiu, would likely result in a permanent game over.
But having played the system game for so long, Li Muyang had never encountered a game boss that didn’t have a method to defeat it.
Li Muyang pondered once more, searching for the key to break through the level.
He loaded his save file to enter the game again, this time taking a different approach to seek the solution.
Under the Bodhi Tree, the white-robed monk smiled as he twirled a flower, standing aloof from the world.
The casual emanations of Buddhist rays he scattered about, along with the grand Buddhist chant echoing from the Buddha’s phantom behind him, were all excruciating for Li Muyang.
But this time, Li Muyang didn’t rashly charge forward to attack.
Instead, he took out a special item that had been pressed down in his game inventory for a long time.
—The severed head of Temple Seal Lord.
This head was a special item that Li Muyang had obtained in the north.
At that time, the body of Temple Seal Lord was snatched away by demons from the south, while Temple Seal Lord’s head was turned into a system item and had been lying in Li Muyang’s storage.
According to game rules, such mission items generally come into play at critical moments.
Perhaps this was one of those critical moments?
Under the Bodhi Tree, the white-robed monk smiled with a flower in hand, chanting in Sanskrit.
However, when he saw Li Muyang raising Temple Seal Lord’s head in his hand, Monk Ming Xiu paused slightly.
"...Is this... the head of an Ancient Great Demon?"
Monk Ming Xiu recognized the head of Temple Seal Lord.
This was normal, after all, he was in cahoots with Emperor Lu.
The dog emperor sent demons north to seize Temple Seal Lord’s remains; Monk Ming Xiu should know about this.
Li Muyang, holding the head of Temple Seal Lord, did not speak.
But as he held Temple Seal Lord’s head in his palm, he was astonished to find that the rate at which the Buddhist Law’s transcendent sounds were affecting him had slowed down.
Although the phantom Buddha behind Monk Ming Xiu was still reciting scriptures and causing transcendental damage to Li Muyang.
The numbers indicating damage above Li Muyang’s head had jumped from tens to single digits.
Now that the rate of Li Muyang’s health depletion had greatly reduced, his eyes suddenly brightened.
—He hadn’t expected Temple Seal Lord’s head to truly be effective!
Mostly because the system was really cunning; such a formidable prop was not explained in detail, and Li Muyang had to explore its use on his own.
Holding the head of Temple Seal Lord in his left hand, he formed his right hand into a sword gesture, unleashing dazzling Sword Intent.
This time, Li Muyang clashed fiercely with Monk Ming Xiu under the Bodhi Tree.
Holding Temple Seal Lord’s head, the pace at which he was being transcended by the Buddhist Law greatly slowed, allowing Li Muyang to finally engage in a literal back-and-forth with Monk Ming Xiu.
As for the white-robed monk looking at the head of the Ancient Great Demon in Li Muyang’s hand, he sighed.
"Indeed it is the Ancient Great Demon, yet it’s a pity that no matter how illustrious in the ancient times, after death, one is just a handful of yellow soil,"
"Today, it is even held aloft by the living, used as a Magic Artifact..."
Monk Ming Xiu seemed to be moved by the tragic fate of Temple Seal Lord’s head.
With his hands pressed together, he mourned for the heavens and pity for the people in a soft voice.
"Dust to dust, earth to earth..."
With Monk Ming Xiu’s chanting, the power of the Bodhi Tree’s transcendence over dead souls grew even stronger.
At that moment, not only was Li Muyang’s body of the Sword Immortal impacted, but strands of black Evil Qi also drifted from the head of Temple Seal Lord in his hand.
