Chapter 56
The mysterious fairy’s pursuit was probably part of the game’s content.
Li Muyang had to avoid her pursuit while collecting the Resentful Spirit Orbs in the city.
Occasionally, he was instantly killed by the mysterious fairy because he ran too slowly.
Even though he met with some brutal deaths, thanks to the save feature, Li Muyang could immediately come back to life and continue his progress in the game.
Finally, after relentless pursuit by a mysterious fairy, Li Muyang managed to level up to LV79, and he had collected 69 Resentful Spirit Orbs in his inventory.
The higher the level of the NPC, the more orbs they would drop.
At this point, the orbs in his backpack shone brightly, looking very neat and pleasing to the eye, a true blessing for anyone with obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Li Muyang yawned tiredly, feeling his eyes swell.He temporarily closed the game system and checked the sky outside.
Goodness, it was almost dawn outside. Did I accidentally play through the night?
Rubbing his eyes, Li Muyang got out of bed and stretched.
Despite the rough details and the simplistic combat mode of this Three Kingdoms game, for some reason, it was inexplicably addictive.
Mainly because the leveling up was too straightforward and easy, with low difficulty in defeating monsters, giving a full sense of positive feedback.
Watching the levels soar provided an indescribable thrill.
Moreover, the system provided rewards for completing the game, which made it even more exciting.
Li Muyang got up, splashed his face with some cold water, and then lay back down on the bed to continue grinding.
At LV79, he must be close to finishing the game, right?
He planned to complete the game before going to water the spiritual field.
Although he had been gaming all night, he still felt quite spirited. After all, he was a Qi Refining Realm Seventh Layer cultivator, soon to reach the Eighth Layer.
A cultivator at the Qi Refining Realm Seventh Layer had undergone seven refinements of the body, making them much stronger than ordinary people.
Li Muyang felt he could stay awake and energetic for three days and nights.
Still, lack of rest would deplete the essence of the kidneys and hinder cultivation to some extent.
Lower-level cultivators were still advised to go to bed early and rise early to keep their bodies in optimal condition, which would allow them to absorb and utilize the spiritual energy in spiritual rice to the greatest extent. But Li Muyang had plenty of high-grade spiritual rice, so it didn’t matter much to him. ℝ
He closed his eyes and re-entered the game, arriving in Luoyang City.
At LV79, he was quite formidable within the city, with few NPCs stronger than him.
Although he couldn’t defeat the Liu GuanZhang trio, he could handle second and third-tier characters with no problem.
Controlling the character Nanhua, he strolled around the city and found a suitable challenge target.
The White Horse General, Gongsun Zan, with his health bar on display, swaggered through the city, and Li Muyang approached, ready to challenge him.
Just then, his vision shook violently, and the young man on the street stumbled, nearly falling over.
At the same time, a white fog surged out of nowhere, enveloping the entire Luoyang City in a hazy mist.
【Nanhua: This is bad… the resentful spirits in the city are about to lose control!】
With a worried look, the young man glanced towards the imperial palace in the distance.
【Nanhua: There’s no time! Although I don’t have enough Resentful Spirit Orb, I must go to the imperial palace now to pacify the spirits!】
The young man steadied himself against the wall and stood up.
Li Muyang had no choice but to let go of Gongsun Zan and controlled Nanhua to use a teleportation ability to rush towards the imperial palace.
The game scene refreshed continuously within the fog, and soon Li Muyang arrived at the towering imperial palace.
However, there were no guards to be seen under the tall palace walls. The fog inside the palace was even denser than outside.
Using the teleportation ability, Li Muyang blinked through the palace and finally arrived in front of a majestic hall.
The hall was entwined with blood-red resentful energy, which almost materialized into a tangible form, looking incredibly eerie.
Inside the hall, the Emperor, dressed in a dark imperial robe, was being strangled to death by a grotesque monster.
Under the monster’s feet, the ground cracked open, and evil spirits wrapped in blood mist surged out from the ground.
The mysterious fairy stood inside the hall, trying to suppress the spirits with an invisible barrier. However, more and more evil spirits overwhelmed her, nearly covering the barrier she had spread out.
【Mysterious Fairy: What is thy purpose here…?】
There was a hint of surprise in her voice.
Li Muyang didn’t explain and directly controlled Nanhua to walk toward the horde of evil spirits.
The young man in the hall faced the dense swarm of spirits, his hands continuously casting light.
The Resentful Spirit Orbs he had collected turned into beams of light, falling among the evil spirits.
The spirits touched by the light rapidly lost their resentful energy, their expressions gradually clearing and calming down.
The mysterious fairy, seeing this, was somewhat astonished.
【Mysterious Fairy: How did you accomplish this…?】
But there were simply too many evil spirits. As they kept pouring out from the ground, Li Muyang exhausted all his Resentful Spirit Orbs, yet more and more spirits emerged from the cracks.
The mysterious fairy sighed.
【Mysterious Fairy: So, you came to aid me… What a pity…】
The next second, the barrier the mysterious fairy was supporting shattered.
Countless ferocious spirits burst forth from behind the barrier, engulfing the two people in the hall.
【The spirits have broken free, and living beings are in despair… You tried your best, but it was still not enough.】
【Would you like to continue the game?】
【Yes/No】
Staring at the game over screen, Li Muyang scratched his head.
“The Resentful Spirit Orbs I collected weren’t enough to get through the final challenge, huh…”
If that was the case, he would have to start over.
After all, this game would automatically enter the final chapter of the spirits breaking free after a certain time.
Because he was unfamiliar with the map and spent too much time on the road and finding people, he only reached LV79 before the final chapter.
All previous saves were now useless.
To be safe, he had to start from the beginning, aiming straight for the target and collecting enough Resentful Spirit Orbs at the fastest speed to clear the game.
