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

Chapter 244 The Legend of Nameless

The arm that sprouted from the red-haired ghost hand proliferated with life-like rapidity, promptly submerging the entire courtyard, relentlessly pursuing Li Muyang.

Facing the seemingly endless evil ghost arms, the rigid Li Muyang exhibited strange agility.

He leaped and dodged through the courtyard at high speed, each step meticulously avoiding the chase of the red-haired ghost hand, each swing of his hand precisely predicting the ghost hand’s ambush.

In that courtyard, completely flooded by the red-haired ghost hand, there was almost no room for Li Muyang to move.

Yet he managed to dance through the cramped courtyard like a nimble bird, easily and gracefully evading all the ghost hand’s attacks.

Eventually, Li Muyang reached Dan Xiaolian.

His eyes, hollow and dim, turned blood-red the moment he got close to Dan Xiaolian, and the aura around him grew wildly fierce.

[Devour!]

The moment Li Muyang closed the distance, he finally succeeded in activating the Devouring skill.

The frenzied zombie under the night sky roared and bit toward the red-haired ghost hand on Dan Xiaolian’s chest.

Then, the bizarre and terrifying red-haired ghost hand was directly torn off by the savage zombie.

Blood spurted continuously, the red-haired ghost hand attempted to resist, but it was rapidly bitten off, chewed up, and swallowed by the frenzied zombie.

[Blood Energy +130%]

Seeing the system prompt pop up in his field of vision, Li Muyang regained control of his body once more.

After Li Muyang swallowed the red-haired ghost hand, Dan Xiaolian, clad in her magician’s robe, was finally released.

The frosty vapor condensed on her vanished quickly, and her demeanor returned to normal.

Only her eyes, with a slight surprise, looked toward Li Muyang.

When Li Muyang chewed and swallowed the red-haired ghost hand, the other ghost hands that filled the entire courtyard also disappeared silently.

At this moment, the courtyard returned to its original tranquility, leaving only Li Muyang and Dan Xiaolian.

Dan Xiaolian frowned and scrutinized Li Muyang, uncertain and astounded, "Are you… Nameless?!"

The movement technique of the person before her reminded her of a legend from not so long ago.

The mysterious individual who had brought back valuable intelligence from the well of ancient grudges.

Yet the zombie before her was different from the person in the legend.

This left Dan Xiaolian unable to confirm whether they were the same person.

Li Muyang naturally nodded and said, "I am Nameless."

A person’s reputation precedes them.

Having experienced the well of ancient grudges instance, Li Muyang had already made a name for himself in the Tianyuan Dynasty, and just mentioning it earned him the respect of the Imperial Heaven’s Demon-Suppressing Magician.

And such self-introductions had been practised over the past twenty-plus deaths.

Even the attacking rhythm and style of the eerie ghost hand was something Li Muyang had figured out through repeated deaths.

In the current mirrored world of Three Rivers City, all the Demon Suppression Magicians of Imperial Heaven had been demonized, with only Dan Xiaolian in front of him still struggling to hold on.

And the chief culprit behind all this was that bizarre red-haired arm.

Dan Xiaolian sighed and said, "I had heard of your great name, but I never expected that seeing you in person would be even more terrifying than the legends."

That bizarre red-haired ghost hand had appeared silently, poisoning and corrupting the entire office of the Imperial Heaven, demonizing all the Demon Suppression Magicians.

If it weren’t for her dragging everyone into the mirrored world in a hurry, once the demonized Demon Suppression Magicians flooded into the outside world, it was feared that the entire Three Rivers City would turn into a human purgatory.

But sustaining the existence of the mirrored world had consumed a significant amount of her energy, to the point that when she encountered the bizarre red-haired arm, she was nearly driven to a desperate situation.

However, at the last critical moment, the person before her suddenly appeared and rescued her just at the right time…

Dan Xiaolian said, "You came to Three Rivers City to rescue the Glass Immortal Maiden, right?"

Among the legends about Nameless, there was mention that this person might possess some sort of prescient ability.

And the other party happened just to appear at her moment of crisis, saving her just in time; it definitely wasn’t out of sheer kindness.

This person had almost no relationship with the Imperial Heaven’s Demon-Suppressing Magician.

The person he cared about should be the female disciple of the Mysterious Sword Sect who was trapped in the city.

Indeed, Li Muyang nodded, admitting without hesitation.

"I need your help to rescue the Glass Immortal Maiden who is trapped," he said.

Li Muyang took out the Sect Leader’s token from Real Person Qing Ye, the Green Abyss Jade Disc, and said, "This is the token of the Sect Leader of the Mysterious Sword Sect. Wei Xuan has promised that if you help us in the rescue of the Glass Immortal Maiden, upon successful completion, you will be granted permission to enter the Bai Zhang Abyss for three days."

Li Muyang laid out all his bargaining chips.

From past archive interactions, he knew that Dan Xiaolian was the kind of person who speaks and acts straightforwardly.

If he tried to haggle with her, it would likely have the opposite effect.

And after Li Muyang put all the bargaining chips on the table, Dan Xiaolian, after a brief silence, indeed nodded directly.

"Good! I’ll help you," Dan Xiaolian said.

"Let’s not talk about you saving me once, just the reward of three days in the Bai Zhang Abyss is enough to tempt a Demon Suppression Magus."

"I have no reason to refuse."

As she spoke, Dan Xiaolian looked at Li Muyang and asked, "How do you want me to help you?"

And the moment Dan Xiaolian finished speaking, a new message popped up in the task bar in Li Muyang’s field of vision.

[Task: Bring the Gluttonous Jade Disc into Three Rivers City, persuade Dan Xiaolian to help — Completed]

[New Task: Enter the City Lord’s mansion with Dan Xiaolian, find the Glass Immortal Maiden Chu Qingxue]

Li Muyang said to Dan Xiaolian, "I need you to help me enter the City Lord’s mansion; I want to meet Lady Chu."

Dan Xiaolian frowned slightly, "Do you want me to break in with you?"

The Demon-Suppressing Magician’s methods of the Imperial Heaven’s are bizarre, experts in dealing with demons.

But when it comes to ordinary people and cultivators, the Demon Suppression Magus is much weaker.

In the Imperial Heaven’s Office in Three Rivers City, only Dan Xiaolian, a Demon Suppression Magus, is left, and her strength has greatly diminished.

Although Dan Xiaolian is a first-grade Demon Suppression Magus, she might not be able to overcome the protectors of the Blood Demon Path in the city.

Then Li Muyang explained, "There’s no need to break in; we just need to find a way to get in and meet Lady Chu."

The system task bar only tells him to meet Chu Qingxue, but it does not mention going in for the rescue.

Apparently, the true method of rescue would only be revealed after meeting the Glass Immortal Maiden.

Li Muyang was also aware of the combat strength of a first-grade magician; with only the present Dan Xiaolian, it was impossible to break into the City Lord’s mansion and come out unscathed.

Going in to meet Chu Qingxue was clearly a prerequisite task for passing the level.

As an experienced gamer, he had this much savvy.

After listening to Li Muyang’s words, Dan Xiaolian pondered briefly.

With her strength alone, accompanying this mysterious Nameless into the City Lord’s mansion to seek a way to rescue Chu Qingxue... such an act seemed no different from courting death.

But after a brief consideration, Dan Xiaolian nodded without hesitation.

"Alright! We’ll set off immediately. I will take you to the City Lord’s mansion to find Chu Qingxue now," she declared.

Li Muyang in reality let out a long sigh of relief and clenched his fist excitedly.

After wrestling with it for a whole night, he finally passed the first difficult level.

Next, as long as he entered the City Lord’s mansion and met Chu Qingxue, he would unlock the next phase of the level.

Following this rhythm, perhaps within the three-day timeframe, he really could rescue Chu Qingxue!
