The fairies I flirted with in the game became real?!

Li Muyang subconsciously wanted to retreat.

However, in the courtyard, Tantai Ming and Su Yi suddenly sprung into action.

The sudden cold and ghostly presence that floated in from outside the gate startled everyone.

In an instant, Tantai Ming stood before Li Muyang, staring at the tightly shut courtyard gate.

She clearly recognized the presence outside the door.

Tantai Ming frowned and said, "Xiao Ru? Why have you come?"

Hadn't they just said that Yan Xiaoru was three hundred miles away? Yet, in the blink of an eye, she had silently infiltrated World's End Ark within Fuyun City?

Tantai Ming gestured for Li Muyang to hide.

Now that Yan Xiaoru had just undergone demonization, her mental state was extremely unstable. If provoked too much, she might descend into madness and give rise to a second personality.

If a second personality emerged, that would be trouble.

They absolutely must not let the current Yan Xiaoru see Li Muyang.

Before Li Muyang could hide, a woman's eerie and chilling voice came from outside the door.

"... My master has ordered me to proclaim here that she has arrived outside Fuyun City."

"Three days from now, my master will enter the city to execute Li Muyang."

"I hope Elder Tantai will not obstruct at that time; this is a private matter between my master and Li Muyang."

The ghostly woman's voice was mournful and cold as if from a ghost itself... or to be precise, she was a ghost.

The moment Tantai Ming heard the voice outside, she violently kicked open the courtyard gate and saw the translucent ghost standing outside.

This ghost was a young woman, wearing the white robe exclusive to inner sect disciples of the Refinement Demon Sect. A gloomy and unsettling pale green light flickered around her.

Even though her face appeared quite pretty and young, under the ghostly green light, it looked sinister and eerie.

Li Muyang, who had cultivated with the Nether Demon Manual, recognized the woman's condition at a glance.

— This was the Chaotic Soul Technique, a forbidden evil art recorded in the taboo chapter of the Nether Demon Manual.

By refining the souls of the slain into ghosts, she could command them at will.

This evil art was potent, able to greatly preserve the ghosts' power from when they were alive, and could create a formidable army of resentful spirits.

But the side effects were massive.

The user constantly had to endure the wrathful emotions of the ghosts.

And the Chaotic Soul Technique only worked when a large number of lives were taken at once.

At least a thousand resentful spirits needed to be refined each time.

Being surrounded by the hatred of so many ghosts was nothing short of torture!

Even someone with a relatively weak mind might be driven insane by the constant wailing and cursing in their ears.

Li Muyang's heart chilled as he looked at the ghost outside.

Not only had Yan Xiaoru performed the Demon Transformation Technique from the forbidden chapter on herself, but she also used the Chaotic Soul Technique?

The female ghost in front of him was an inner sect disciple of the Refinement Demon Sect.

And the number of sect disciples that Yan Xiaoru had slain and harvested were as many as tens of thousands... She couldn't have refined all these disciples into ghosts, could she?

Li Muyang couldn't believe it as he stepped forward and said, "Xiao Ru is already outside Fuyun City? Why does she want to kill me?"

"Where is she now? I want to see her!"

Yan Xiaoru coming to kill Li Muyang... this was an absolutely terrible joke.

You see, the original intention behind Yan Xiaoru's demonization was due to the shock of Li Muyang's death, which drove her to seek powerful cultivation in the shortest time possible.

She wanted to avenge Li Muyang.

But now, Yan Xiaoru, who had obtained the power of the Heavenly Eternal Realm after demonization, was coming to kill Li Muyang?

What sort of infernal joke is this…

Li Muyang simply could not believe it.

But the ghostly figure just gave Li Muyang a gloomy and resentful gaze, let out a cold laugh.

Afterward, the ghostly figure dissipated into the air, summoned back by Yan Xiaoru.

Tantai Ming held his head in pain.

"It's over, this girl has truly lost her mind."

"She hasn't developed a second personality yet, but her demonized madness is already severe, clearly devoid of rationality; she's now purely insane."

"Otherwise, she wouldn't spout such nonsensical things about killing Li Muyang... only a madman's actions are so unfathomable!"

Tantai Ming said, turning to Li Muyang, "It seems like Xiao Ru has already located you in the mortal realm using the Star-Leading Technique."

"But that also makes sense, even these third-rate monsters can find you with secret techniques, there's no reason Xiao Ru wouldn't be able to find you..."

When Tantai Ming mentioned this, he glanced at the Third Miss of the pig demons.

But the foul-mouthed and offensive Third Miss dared not act up in front of Tantai Ming and was as meek as a lamb, evidently having been dealt with harshly before.

Li Muyang's complexion was extremely unsightly at the time.

He said, "Once one enters a state of frenzied insanity and loses rationality, they are already on the brink. If she continues this way, Xiao Ru's rational emotions will be thoroughly crushed and absent, giving birth to a second personality..."

He had previously said that he would hide and not provoke Yan Xiaoru.

Yet, to his surprise, Yan Xiaoru had located his position again using the Star-Leading Technique even though she knew of his "death."

This made Yan Xiaoru's purpose for coming to the World Outside the Ark quite clear.

Perhaps long ago, she had already learned of Li Muyang's presence in the World Outside the Ark through the Star-Leading Technique and therefore rushed to the Ark...

Now in three days, Yan Xiaoru was going to come to kill him.

This was simply like some infernal joke.

Li Muyang looked at Tantai Ming and said, "Senior Tantai, now we can only control Xiao Ru and capture her first..."

Yan Xiaoru's demonization could not go on any further, forceful measures had to be taken.

Tantai Ming frowned and shook his head, "It's not that easy... this girl is now in the Heavenly Eternal Realm and has refined an army of ghostly figures using the Chaotic Soul Technique. Even if I went all out, I might not be able to handle her."

Tantai Ming glanced at Li Muyang as he spoke, "You'd better not have any crooked thoughts. You must not use your trump cards recklessly."

"Neither the corpse of an Ancient True Immortal nor the ancient Immortal Sword... none are viable."

Tantai Ming spoke gravely, "If you resort to using these tricks, even if you manage to capture Xiao Ru, but with your whereabouts exposed, when Great Cultivators from the Cultivation World swarm here, the trouble will be even bigger!"

Having said that, Tantai Ming left straight away, "Leave this matter to me, you stay within Fuyun City for these three days, don't go out and especially don't leave the city, wait for my news at home."

"At the latest, I will appear before dawn three days from now."

With that, Tantai Ming stepped away, heading outside of Fuyun City.

She was actually leaving at this moment, who knows where she was heading to.

Li Muyang and the others could only wait as they watched her retreating figure.

Senior Brother Cheng sighed softly, "Why does Elder Yan want to kill Senior Brother Li..."

Following Li Muyang these days, he had also come to understand the special relationship between Senior Brother Li and Elder Yan.

To him, what was happening now was simply incomprehensible.

But Li Muyang was not surprised.

He shook his head and said, "Cultivators of the 'Nether Demon Manual' who become demonized and insane can do anything..."

The uncontrollable nature of their actions after madness and demonization, as well as the danger of birthing a second personality, these were the reasons why the Demon Transformation Technique, which could quickly grant immense cultivation power, was classified as a forbidden technique.

Forbidden Techniques from the Forbidden Chapter are ones that should never be used unless absolutely necessary.

Yet, unexpectedly, Yan Xiaoru had utilized two such forbidden techniques... if that's not madness, then what is!
