Chapter 71
The Demon-Suppressing Masters from outside Tengzhou City sprang into action, peering uncertainly at the coastline ahead.
The previously restless Sea of Mist, which had been continuously exuding a strange aura, had now returned to tranquility as if the evil spirits within the fog had vanished.
This unusual occurrence alarmed everyone.
People looked at the suddenly calm fog with suspicion, whispering among themselves, discussing endlessly, and speculating about the situation within the mist.
At that moment, a distant dragon’s roar sounded from within the mist.
The long dragon chant seemed to ignore the distance of space, spreading all the way to the shore.
However, among all the Demon-Suppressing Masters present, only those with the highest cultivation levels heard this sound. Most people heard nothing.
The Demon-Suppressing Masters who clearly heard the dragon’s roar all showed a slight change in their expressions.“A dragon’s chant? Is there a True Dragon in the mist?”
In today’s world, immortals do not appear and gods and demons are hidden. It is an era of declining cultivation.
The so-called True Dragon has long been a legend.
Yet now, the sound of a dragon’s chant came from the mist…
Shentu Jing’s face changed dramatically, looking at the Sea of Mist in disbelief.
“A True Dragon in the fog?!”
As a disciple taken in by the Master Qingye a thousand years ago, he had cultivated for a millennium, transcending the mundane world.
He heard the dragon’s chant very clearly.
The divine aura it contained was incomparable to that of any River Dragon.
In this era of decline, a True Dragon has actually appeared…
Shentu Jing looked at the mist in amazement.
The next second, a huge mirage appeared above the mist.
In the gloomy city, a vast army of lingering souls and ghostly shadows marched out like troops, the atmosphere solemn and the momentum astonishing.
Among this army of lingering souls, a fairy stood aloft, commanding the wind. She stood quietly in the void, surrounded by layers of fog, looking solemn and dignified.
However, her appearance and temperament were stunning enough to amaze the world.
The gloomy aura of the mist only made her more radiant and beautiful.
She stood in the void, commanding the vast army of lingering souls and ghostly shadows to march out of the city, and beyond the city was the heavy mist…
This grand and spectacular scene lasted for about half a minute.
Finally, the mirage disappeared, and the Sea of Mist became completely calm.
Everyone on the shore fell silent…
The elders of the Demonic Sects under the rule of the Demon Refining Sect watched in astonishment as the grand scene suddenly appeared in the mist, only to disappear quickly, uncertain of what to make of it.
Ge Hongshan, who was well-versed in ancient legends, exclaimed in surprise, “Is this a mirage? It is said that mirages often appear over the Sea of Mist, believed to be projections from a world within the fog.”
“However, the scenes of mirages recorded in the past were all old cities, collapsed ruins, or mysterious immortal mountains…”
“This time, the appearance of a vast ghostly shadow and a character in the mirage is unprecedented.”
“Could it be that there is a fairy in the mist who rules over endless evil spirits and wants to come out?”
Ge Hongshan put forth such a guess.
The fairy had very obvious dragon traits, and her attire matched the dragons of legend. And just after the dragon’s chant came from the mist, such a mirage appeared…
Ge Hongshan chuckled dryly and said, “In this era where immortals do not appear and gods and demons are hidden, if a Dragon Deity really appears, the days of our demonic path would not be easy…”
……
The legend of a Dragon Deity Fairy in the Sea of Mist quickly spread throughout the cultivation world.
Whether it was the righteous or demonic paths, there were countless witnesses to the mirage by the sea, and even if they wanted to suppress the news, they could not.
Some enthusiasts even drew the appearance of the Dragon Deity Fairy, replicating the scene from the mirage on scrolls and selling them everywhere.
Temples were even erected among the common folk to worship the Dragon Deity Fairy, praying for peace.
However, after that, the Sea of Mist became completely calm, with no more anomalies.
There were no more dragon chants from the mist, no more armies of lingering souls emerging, and the so-called mirage seemed to be just another false alarm.
After all, the sea fog devoured cultivators, and even the strongest cultivators would get lost in the mist.
Even if there really was a Dragon Deity Fairy in the mist, she couldn’t possibly come out, could she?
As time passed, everything in the mist remained as usual, and the cultivators gradually left.
The major sects of both the righteous and demonic paths, apart from sending some disciples to stay by the shore to continue observing the Sea of Mist, no longer cared about the strange mirage.
However, the name and image of the Dragon Deity Fairy, with the return of the cultivators, gradually spread to even more distant places.
……
In the Outer Sect of the Demon Refining Sect.
“What the heck is this? Where did you get this painting?” Li Muyang held the ‘Dragon Deity Fairy Commanding Ghosts’ scroll in his hand, his expression one of shock.
He looked up at his sister in disbelief, only to see the young girl giggling and saying, “Brother, you’ve been up in the mountains farming every day and don’t know what’s happening outside. This Dragon Deity Fairy has been really popular lately.”
“Weren’t the elders from our sect all heading to the seaside because there was a disturbance in the Sea of Mist?”
“In the end, nothing happened in the fog, but everyone saw a mirage…” Li Yuechan informed her brother of the recent news from the sect, explaining cheerfully.
“This ‘Dragon Deity Fairy Commanding Ghosts’ painting is the scene from that mirage. Isn’t it well done?”
“It’s said that worshipping the Dragon Deity Fairy can bring good fortune.” Li Yuechan said.
“But I don’t believe that. The main thing is that this painting is really popular right now. I’ve stocked up a bunch and plan to resell them in a few days for several times the profit!” The girl shared her money-making plans with Li Muyang, full of enthusiasm.
Li Muyang, however, looked at the painting of the Dragon Deity Fairy and the image of her commanding thousands of ghosts with a stunned gaze.
After sending his little sister away, Li Muyang opened the system interface, filled with doubt. “Is there really a Dragon Deity Fairy in the world? And she looks exactly like the one in the game?”
The ‘Luoyang City’ I visited before, could it be the so-called ghost city…
F*ck!
Suddenly, he remembered that the Dragon Deity Fairy in the game had said she would come to find him to repay a favor.
At the time, Li Muyang didn’t take it seriously. It was just part of the game’s plot.
Moreover, after giving a fake name and failing to clear the game, he tried giving his real name to the Dragon Deity Fairy, telling her his name is Li Muyang.
He didn’t expect that he cleared the game after revealing his real name.
Now thinking back…
“…If there really is a Dragon Deity Fairy in this world, and she comes to repay me…”
Li Muyang bared his teeth, feeling a bit of a headache.
“Just with a name, she shouldn’t be able to find me, right?”
The idea of that fairy showing up in person could be a disaster.
Especially since the real-life Li Muyang is just a small fry.
Who knows what the Dragon Deity Fairy, coming with expectations, would react to after meeting him in person?
Before gaining enough strength, Li Muyang didn’t want to meet the Dragon Deity Fairy.
“Uh… if the Dragon Deity Fairy really exists, then those two games given by this damn system before…”
Fairy Liuli and Xiao Yecao wouldn’t also exist in reality, would they?
Li Muyang suddenly felt guilty and took a moment to reflect.
Fortunately, when he was playing the games, he was in a rush to complete them and didn’t take advantage of the high degree of freedom to do any 18+ actions that would destroy worldviews, so he probably didn’t offend the other two female leads.
Thinking of this, Li Muyang breathed a sigh of relief.
“It seems I need to be more careful when playing games in the future.”
Li Muyang muttered to himself.
He must never reveal his real name like this again.
Thankfully, the Dragon Deity Fairy seems nice, so even if she really comes to repay him, it’s probably a good thing.
Even if her expectations are shattered after she shows up, she probably won’t do anything excessive to Li Muyang.
But the fact that the games played through this system can actually interfere with reality…
Li Muyang narrowed his eyes, suddenly feeling that there were more opportunities to exploit.
This system, more powerful than he imagined, could definitely be put to good use if operated properly.
A system that can interfere with reality through games, if managed well, definitely has its ingenious uses.
