The fairies I flirted with in the game became real?!-Chapter 716 - Black Feather Pavilion

Chapter 716 -716: Black Feather Pavilion
Yet the true progenitor of the Jiang family, for reasons unknown, honored Jiang Xiaoyu as her father, but avoided discussing who her mother was, only worshipping portraits of both Jiang Xiaoyu and Fairy Qinghe simultaneously.
From the classic ancient texts she compiled, “Jiang Zi” and “Evil Suppressing Scripture,” it’s evident she had a profound understanding of Jiang Xiaoyu and Little Wild Grass’s past.
Little Wild Grass must have recounted many past events to her, which is how she was able to embellish the life and deeds of Jiang Xiaoyu into a book.
From Li Muyang’s perspective, the daughter adopted by Little Wild Grass was indeed very intelligent, extending the cleverness and astuteness of the girl Little Wild Grass.
To be able to spread and glorify the art of Puppet Manipulation was no easy feat.
Faced with the dark and sinister Ancient Resentment Well, this girl was able to forsake the temptation of fame and fortune, not becoming a deity herself but instead promoting Jiang Xiaoyu, a deceased individual, as the deity figurehead and publicly gathering support in the capacity of Jiang Xiaoyu’s daughter.
This was undoubtedly more convenient than becoming a deity herself.
Such organizational skills and sharp wit, if transposed to the ancient Earth of his previous life, could at the very least have earned her a position as a Sect Hierarch of the White Lotus Sect.
Having gained a rough understanding of the Jiang family’s particulars, Li Muyang had no intention of staying long in Red Leaf Valley.
He planned to leave this place and continue to slay the nightmare demons.
And inside the Red Mountain Bookstore, he made a pivotal discovery.
In the final phase of “Lethal Wild Grass,” Li Muyang gained Divine Power from a mysterious land where many Ancestor Spirits of the Evil Vein Clan lay in slumber.
The ancient records in the Red Mountain Bookstore stated that this land still exists to this day and was not destroyed in the turmoil that took place ten thousand years ago.
Black Cloud Fort had fallen ten thousand years ago, but the resting land of the Ancestor Spirits had remained intact until today.
It is said that a Puppet Master fated to do so could encounter the Ancestor Spirits in their dreams.
Some Puppet Masters even personally entered the Ancestor Spirit Land and met with the awakened Ancestor Spirits.
This kind of record was not just mentioned once.
Li Muyang was quite excited.
He wanted to visit that Ancestor Spirit Land, for his intuition told him that this land could very likely be key in resisting the Ancient Resentment Well Evil God.
Nowadays on the Tianyuan Continent, where Evil Gods run rampant, the Ancient Resentment Well Evil Gods’ torment upon the Mortal World grew ever stronger, to the extent that an Evil God’s projection crossed the seas to pursue Li Muyang across the Misty Sea.
If these Evil Gods are not contained, the dark turmoil from ten thousand years ago might recur.
The next day, Li Muyang bade farewell to Jiang Yunhe, the presiding official of the Red Mountain Academic Palace, claiming he wished to continue his journey abroad.
Jiang Yunhe was incredibly reluctant and repeatedly tried to persuade him, eager to keep Li Muyang within the academy for study.
But Li Muyang was resolute in his decision to leave, and Jiang Yunhe could only sigh.
Before parting, Jiang Yunhe gave Li Muyang a protective Amulet, the same type given to Li Muyang by Little Wild Grass in the past.
Nearly every member of the Jiang family would receive such an Amulet.
This Amulet, which was also a symbol of the Jiang family, represented the friendship of the Jiang clan and could help the wearer ward off malicious spirits.
After expressing his gratitude, Li Muyang departed and thus left Red Leaf Valley.
The entire journey was easygoing and comfortable.
In this world of the dark and sinister Ancient Resentment Well, the Red Leaf Valley where the Jiang family resided was akin to a peaceful haven untouched by disaster.
Warm, safe.
But now Li Muyang had to leave this place as well, stepping back into the dark world outside the valley.
The system still hadn’t provided any navigational arrows, leaving him uncertain where to find the nightmare demons next.
Fortunately, Jiang Yunhe gave some guidance to Li Muyang, divulging the locations of several recent suspected nightmare demon sightings, specifically requesting Li Muyang to eliminate them.
“However, do not engage with those dressed in black robes when you’re exterminating evil spirits; it’s best to avoid conflict with them.”
Jiang Yunhe sighed and advised accordingly.
Li Muyang calmly nodded, indicating his understanding.
The so-called black-robed ones refer to another group of Puppet Masters.
Red Mountain Academic Palace, although established by the Jiang Family and the ancestral ground for the heritage of Puppet Manipulation Technique, has after ten thousand years of inheritance, already branched off into multiple factions.
The most worldly and largest faction among them is the Black Feather Pavilion.
Puppet Masters from this faction, shrouded in black robes, traverse the Ancient Resentment Well, collecting Silver Coin and dispelling evil spirits for the common people.
However, due to their large numbers, the overall quality of the Black Feather Pavilion’s Puppet Masters is uneven, not only are they overbearing in their actions, but occasionally there are those who maliciously lure evil spirits to wreak havoc among the commoners, only to then charge a high fee to suppress them.
One could say, their infamy is widespread.
Previously, when Li Muyang dispelled the night fiends in the town, those villagers obviously mistook him for a Puppet Master from Black Feather Pavilion.
As for these early-risers who won’t act unless there’s a profit, Li Muyang didn’t have much interest.
After all, his goal was to slay night fiends, not to PVP or find other Puppet Masters for pet battles.
What does it matter to him if the Black Feather Pavilion’s Puppet Masters are corrupt?
Li Muyang embarked on his journey, heading toward a town three hundred miles away.
According to the information provided by Jiang Yunhe, this town has recently seen suspected night fiend activities.
But while Li Muyang was still on his way and had not yet arrived at his destination, a cold voice in the real world reached his ears.
“… Mr. Li, my master has arrived.”
Upon hearing this voice, Li Muyang immediately chose to log out, then exited the game and returned to the real world.
Upon opening his eyes, he awoke in a dark underground cavern.
Looking at Miss Third in front of him, still with her ever-sour expression, Li Muyang asked, “Has Senior Tantai arrived?”
Their conversation also stirred the other people who were recuperating nearby.
Thanks to the Top-grade Spirit Pill from Li Muyang and several days of peaceful convalescence, the few Soul-Travel Realm cultivators following Li Yuechan have mostly recovered.
And Li Yuechan, who suffered extreme depletion of her vital energy, had also regained much of her strength.
Hearing Miss Third’s words, Li Yuechan came over.
Miss Third then said indifferently: “Not only my master, but the Great General Spirit Monkey of the Hidden Immortal Alliance and the Silver Clear sisters are all people you know well already.”
“They are waiting outside the city for you right now. My master wants to meet you to discuss the capture of Yan Xiaoru.”
After listening to Miss Third, Li Muyang nodded, “Good! Let’s go now, lead the way.”
Hearing that Dan Taiming had finally arrived was good news that greatly lifted Li Muyang’s spirits.
Dan Taiming had not only arrived, but he even brought along Purple Mansion Realm cultivators from the Hidden Immortal Alliance.
With such powerful support, along with Li Muyang’s own strength, they were more than capable of suppressing Yan Xiaoru.
These past days, he had been waiting for the arrival of Dan Taiming.

Yan Xiaoru, now fallen into devilment, has become a thorn in his side.
Especially since Yan Xiaoru’s fall into devilment was caused by him, all the more reason Li Muyang could not sit by idly.
He followed behind Miss Third, leaving the dark secret place together with Yu Chan and emerged into the blizzard outside.
And within the swirling snow, they stealthily left the city, indeed meeting the long-awaited Dan Taiming in the forest outside the city.
