The Game with Fairies

In Nanjiang City, the demonized giant Luo Feng was slaughtering everyone.

The demonized half-demon general, no longer gentle and refined, was terrifying under the reflection of the demonic energy, like a demon lord or evil spirit.

The swath of pitch-black sword qi continued to sweep through the city, reaping the lives of the city’s inhabitants.

Figures attempting to resist rose into the air, trying to fight the demonized giant Luo Feng.

However, as the black sword qi crisscrossed, those figures turned to ash upon ascending.

Jiang Xiaoyu stood in Luo Feng’s mansion, holding the head of the Shape-Shifter Master, glaring and questioning.

【Jiang Xiaoyu: Is this what you and Luo Feng agreed upon? You want to kill all the living beings in the city?】

The head of the Shape-Shifter Master just laughed, looking very pleased as he watched Luo Feng’s massive figure move further away.

【Shape-Shifter Master: Nanjiang City was built by Fairy Yu with all her heart and soul. Since these mortals do not appreciate it, it is only right for the immortal sword to take it back.】

【Shape-Shifter Master: But don’t worry, boy. You’re not from Nanjiang City; you’re an outsider. We won’t kill you.】

【Shape-Shifter Master: According to the agreement, once Luo Feng has slaughtered all the fools and villains in the city, the Startling Swan Immortal Sword will still be yours, and you can leave with the immortal sword.】

The head of the Shape-Shifter Master tried to reassure Jiang Xiaoyu. But Jiang Xiaoyu, holding the head, just glared.

【Jiang Xiaoyu: That damn thing has turned into a demon sword! And it’s a demon sword that has killed thousands!】

【Jiang Xiaoyu: If Luo Feng really kills all the living creatures in the city and slaughters everyone… who would dare to take that demon sword?】

【Jiang Xiaoyu: The terrifying bloodthirsty energy condensed after the demon sword has slaughtered thousands is so fearsome that even immortals would avoid it by three li. How could I dare to take it?】

【Jiang Xiaoyu: If I even touch the hilt of the demon sword, I’ll be turned into an idiot on the spot by the bloodthirsty energy!】

Infuriated, Jiang Xiaoyu threw the head he was holding into the air and viciously kicked it away.

The head of the Shape-Shifter Master was sent flying and rolled through the air, landing in the hands of an old woman.

Granny Gu…

The mysterious and unfathomable Granny Gu suddenly appeared from the shadows.

She expressionlessly caught the head of the Shape-Shifter Master and said to Jiang Xiaoyu.

【Granny Gu: You, the outsider, have caused a great disaster!】

The moment he saw Granny Gu, Jiang Xiaoyu took several steps back, reacting with the shock of a mouse seeing a cat.

【Jiang Xiaoyu: G-Granny Gu…】

Jiang Xiaoyu, who had always been carefree and unrestrained, was now stuttering in his speech.

Granny Gu frowned at him and tossed aside the head of the Shape-Shifter Master she was holding.

【Granny Gu: Why are you so afraid of me? You dared to steal Fairy Yu’s immortal sword, yet you’re afraid of me?】

Granny Gu found Jiang Xiaoyu strange.

【Jiang Xiaoyu (awkwardly): …Well, Granny, you have vast magical powers. Now that the half-demon general Luo Feng has turned into a demon, do you have any way to stop him? He’s going to kill all the living beings in the city.】 Ɍ

【Jiang Xiaoyu: I might be fine since they said they won’t kill me. But Granny Gu, you’re also among the living beings of Nanjiang City, aren’t you? He definitely won’t spare you!】

Jiang Xiaoyu began to stoke the fire.

Granny Gu, however, looked at him coldly while sizing him up.

【Granny Gu: You little sly fox is annoyingly cunning. But for some reason, this old woman feels like she’s seen you somewhere before… Have you met me before?】

As Granny Gu spoke, Li Muyang instinctively held his breath.

Although the story was told from a third-person perspective, the death experience from being instantly killed by the evil god was so terrifying that it left Li Muyang with some psychological trauma.

He was terrified that the eerie Granny Gu would summon the evil god again.

Fortunately, without Jiang Xiaoyu’s voluntary confession, Granny Gu couldn’t recall a boy who died young in Black Cloud Village hundreds of years ago.

After all, there were many villagers in Black Cloud Village.

Moreover, the young Jiang Xiaoyu who died prematurely and the middle-aged Jiang Xiaoyu now had some differences in their facial features.

【Jiang Xiaoyu: …When you were talking to Luo Feng on the broken bridge earlier, I happened to be hiding under the bridge】

Jiang Xiaoyu half-truthfully muddled through the situation.

Granny Gu frowned, sizing him up, then shook her head.

【Granny Gu: Never mind, the important matter is at hand. Boy, it seems you want to stop Luo Feng from slaughtering the creatures in the city?】

【Granny Gu: Although it’s a disaster you caused, if you want to make amends, there is actually a chance】

【Granny Gu: How about it? Do you want this old woman to teach you how to stop Luo Feng’s massacre and atone for your sins?】

The mysterious Granny Gu offered a choice right away.

【Jiang Xiaoyu (whispering): …This old hag is morally blackmailing me, acting as if it’s all my fault】

【Granny Gu: ?】

【Granny Gu: Boy, what are you muttering about?】

【Jiang Xiaoyu: Ah… nothing, I was saying I’m willing, please teach me how to stop the half-demon general】

After Jiang Xiaoyu finished speaking, he looked at the giant demonized half-demon general wreaking havoc in the city and then said.

【Jiang Xiaoyu: By the way, since you’re so powerful and from the ancient evil lineage of Black Cloud Village, couldn’t you defeat Luo Feng yourself?】

【Jiang Xiaoyu: Although Luo Feng and the demonic sword are terrifying, you’re no pushover either! If you call upon the city’s demon kings and the human leaders to join forces, it might be possible to slay Luo Feng】

Jiang Xiaoyu suggested the most feasible plan.

But Granny Gu shook her head.

【Granny Gu: It’s not that simple. Those demon kings and human leaders are wary of each other and have just been engaged in a bloody battle. Asking them to put aside their hatred and join forces now is like a fool’s dream】

【Granny Gu: This old woman can only point you to one method and then try to buy you some time】

【Granny Gu: Whether you can successfully stop Luo Feng depends on your fate and that of the creatures in this city】

Granny Gu looked deeply at Jiang Xiaoyu and took out a token.

【Granny Gu: This is the Soul Drowning Token. Take it to the Soul Drowning Lake in the city center. There’s an ancient well at the bottom of the lake with a remnant soul inside】

【Granny Gu: Release that remnant soul, and it might stop the demonized Luo Feng】

【Received Soul Drowning Token x1】

Seeing the system notification pop up, Li Muyang controlled Jiang Xiaoyu to turn and leave.

The Soul Drowning Lake under the broken bridge in the city was said to have the power to corrode demons and evil spirits.

But there is an ancient well with a remnant soul at the bottom of the lake?

What kind of powerful remnant soul could even stop the demonized Luo Feng?

Li Muyang was very curious as he controlled Jiang Xiaoyu to leave the residence of the half-demon general Luo Feng and head towards the Soul Drowning Lake in the center of the city.

The city was still in chaos.

After leaving Luo Feng’s residence, he saw a group of fully armed half-demons slaughtering indiscriminately on the long streets.

During the previous battle between humans and demons, the half-demons in Nanjiang City eerily remained silent and did not participate.

Unexpectedly, they were now indiscriminately killing just like their general…

It seemed that although the half-demons were the least in number in the city, they were the most loyal to Fairy Yu.
