Chapter 258 Brother-in-law, I am very angry
Jing Muan's words not only explained the reasons but also subtly warned Li Muyang not to help Zi Weiheng.
The so-called success rate of less than 30% claimed by Jing Muan wasn't necessarily accurate.
However, the other people in the group chat definitely did not want Li Muyang to assist Zi Weiheng.
Fortunately, Li Muyang had not intended to help in the first place.
He was only there to probe for information.

Now, knowing that Zi Weiheng did not have the power to annihilate the Refinement Demon Sect completely, Li Muyang immediately felt relieved.
He tactfully declined Zi Weiheng's invitation for revenge, wisely aligning himself with the others in the group chat.
After Li Muyang's refusal was voiced, the atmosphere in the group chat clearly relaxed.
Others began to speak up.
[Perilous Lodging One: Zi Weiheng, wait a bit longer, don't rush it]
[Heart Lodging Six: Exactly, Zi Weiheng, you've been waiting for so many years, a few more days won't matter]
[Ghost Lodging Seven: Although Azure Lodging Three is slippery and unreliable, his words make sense. You should heal first before thinking of revenge]
The others in the group tried to persuade Zi Weiheng.
Facing their advice, Zi Weiheng remained silent for a while, finally sighing.
[Zi Weiheng: Sigh… I appreciate your kindness, folks, but I don't have much time left, I can't wait]
[Zi Weiheng: Let's leave it at this for today, I am going back to rest]
[Zi Weiheng: If Big Shot Cang Su changes his mind, just call me, I'll be ready anytime]
After saying this, Zi Weiheng went offline immediately, his avatar turning grey.
Clearly, the gentle refusals from the others left him somewhat disheartened.
After Zi Weiheng went offline, the atmosphere in the group chat became a bit somber and stiff.
[Perilous Lodging One: Let's end it here for today, see you all next time]
[Heart Lodging Six: I'm still busy hunting down Mysterious Sword Sect disciples… I'm leaving too]
[Ghost Lodging Seven: Sigh… Zi Weiheng is too obsessed]
[Dou Sujiu: I'm out, I'm out, every time we discuss this matter, it always ends unpleasantly]
The avatars of the group members turned grey one by one as everyone gradually logged off.
Li Muyang noted Heart Lodging Six's parting words, his gaze slightly intensifying.
Hunting Mysterious Sword Sect disciples… damn!
He calculated the time and the information he currently held.
Could this Heart Lodging Six be the Holy Maiden of the Demon Path?
The person was deeply involved with the Demon Path in the Tianyuan Dynasty, was currently busy hunting the Mysterious Sword Sect disciples, seemed to be female, and the leading figure of the Demon Path in Sanhe City was the Holy Maiden of the Demon Path…
Upon realizing this, Li Muyang felt both a shock and a sense of inevitability.
He had previously suspected that Heart Lodging Six was involved with the Demon Path, but he didn't expect her to be the Holy Maiden of the Demon Path.
But… hmm… something's not right!
If Heart Lodging Six is the Holy Maiden of the Demon Path, that means she must possess an Ancient Immortal Artifact and likely be a cultivator of the Purple Mansion Realm.
Then, for her, killing a Purple Mansion Realm Wei Xuan, along with a Dongxuan Realm Glass Immortal Maiden Chu Qingxue, should be easy.
Why then, in the game, hasn't this Holy Maiden of the Demon Path taken action herself, always allowing Chu Qingxue to escape?
Strange…
Having confirmed the identity of Heart Lodging Six, Li Muyang was also confused.
This group chat session gained him many important pieces of information.
But it also deepened his suspicions.
Aside from the oddities surrounding the Holy Maiden of the Demon Path, there was also something Jing Muan mentioned—the thing within the Refinement Demon Sect's mountain gate.
Although Jing Muan had only briefly mentioned it, that thing was clearly formidable, causing these Purple Mansion adepts wielding Immortal Artifacts to be wary.
This piqued Li Muyang's curiosity.
He had never heard of Refinement Demon Sect having any powerful artifacts that could deter all corners.
Normally, if a sect possessed a formidable weapon, shouldn't it be widely known to intimidate others?
Why keep it hidden?
It seemed that the Refinement Demon Sect was deeper than he had imagined.
Li Muyang wanted to inquire, but Jing Muan's avatar had gone gray, leaving him alone in the chat group.
Seeing this, Li Muyang shook his head and gave up on further questioning.
Now was not a good time to ask about this matter.
He pressed down the doubts in his mind, exited the system, and returned to reality. He planned to ask Yan Xiaoru the next time he saw her.
Others might not know the secrets of Refinement Demon Sect, but surely Yan Xiaoru did, right?
On the eaves behind the government office, Li Muyang took a deep breath and lay back on the comfortable bamboo rocking chair, closing his eyes once again.
Today had been filled with too many events: game clearances, cultivation breakthroughs, ascension, breaking through the world's seal followed by many members of the chat group coming online and revealing many shocking secrets.
A flood of information surged into his mind, making Li Muyang feel as though his brain were overloaded.
He lay on the rocking chair, leisurely pondering for a long time before he organized all the information.
Only then did he realize he still had one game he hadn't cleared.
—The evolution game "Endless Evolution" he had been playing before.
He had already evolved the Emerald Cutter Mantis to level 10 and was ready to continue evolving.
But then the limited-time game "The Fall of the Fairy" suddenly came along, and Li Muyang hadn't returned to "Endless Evolution" in days.
Plus the time the Emerald Cutter Mantis spent in evolutionary sleep, it had been a month since he had seen the cheap "little auntie" Shen Miao inside the Sifang Ding.
Indeed, when Li Muyang entered the game and controlled the Emerald Cutter Mantis to approach the mysterious ghost city, a young girl who had been waiting on the city gate tower for a long time pouted in displeasure.
"Brother-in-law! Where have you been?"
The young girl was unusually unhappy, "You haven't come to see me for thirty-one days and nine hours! Why? Do you dislike me now?"
The giant Emerald Cutter Mantis stood outside the city wall, looking at the pouting girl above, and Li Muyang was somewhat surprised.
[Are you angry?]
The giant Emerald Cutter Mantis wrote such words on the ground.
Wasn't the girl in front already enchanted with a spell to always be happy and cheerful, never angry?
But Li Muyang's question shifted the girl's focus.
Seeing the question, the initially puffy girl immediately became cheerful again and nodded repeatedly.
"Yes, yes! I can be angry now!"
The girl joyfully jumping on the city wall said to the giant mantis below, "Brother-in-law, just now a powerful surge of Spiritual Energy swept across the world, even affecting the Sifang Ding."
"I feel something inside me has loosened... Brother-in-law, I can be angry now!"
The lonely girl, who had been trapped in the Sifang Ding since birth and isolated from the world, happily said.
"And not only can I be angry, but I can also have other thoughts."
The girl looked forward excitedly at Li Muyang and said, "Brother-in-law, I want to leave the Sifang Ding, I don't want to stay here anymore, can you help me get out?"
As soon as Shen Miao's words fell, Li Muyang's surprised expression had just appeared when suddenly a system prompt popped up in his view.
[Special Quest Detected—Infant Spirit's Yearning]
[Do you accept this quest?]
[Note: Accepting the quest will upgrade this fun game "Endless Evolution" into the unlimited game "Infant Spirit's Yearning," with system rewards available upon completion]
The prompt popping up in view left Li Muyang in a daze.
Special quest?
Damn! Could the purpose of this fun game "Endless Evolution" have been for this moment?
To evolve a beast with potential to the ultimate level and then come to rescue Shen Miao trapped in the Sifang Ding?
But now that the Sifang Ding entirely relied on Shen Miao to drive its power, if Shen Miao's spirit left the Sifang Ding, wouldn't that mean…
Li Muyang's eyes suddenly lit up.
