THE FAIRIES I FLIRTED WITH IN THE GAME BECAME REAL?!
Chapter 461 - 461 Capital City FogThe Emperor of the Celestial Dynasty had an aura of immense power and overbearing dominance that instilled terror in the hearts of those who even looked up at him.
This was definitely not a puppet, but a truly ruthless person.
The fact that all the demons in the hall were cowering in corners, too afraid to step out of line, was clear proof of this.
Having witnessed Emperor Lu’s might with his own eyes, Li Muyang was completely certain.
Indeed the demons had not taken control of the Emperor.
On the contrary, it was the Emperor who was enslaving these monsters!
Although Emperor Lu did not possess the cultivation of an Immortal, the pressure he exerted on Li Muyang was even greater than that of the divine spirits from the Peaceful Realms he had encountered in “Deadly Grassland.”
This might be due to the vast difference in power between the two sides…
But no matter what, the game this time seemed to be very difficult.
While the skin-changing monster had impressive stats, it was far inferior to the terrifying Emperor.
Fortunately, the skin-changing monster was indeed a master of disguise, and Nie Yubing, hidden within its skin, was not detected by the Emperor.
After a few simple orders, the Emperor scolded the skin-changing monster to leave.
Nie Yubing, controlling the skin of the skin-changing monster, repeatedly excused herself and hastily fled the demon-filled bedroom.
Not long after leaving the palace, Li Muyang and the little girl saw people from the Crown Prince’s estate rushing over to welcome the Crown Prince back.
It seemed that these subordinates of the Crown Prince had not yet realized that the Crown Prince had been swapped out by the skin-changing monster, and upon seeing the Crown Prince unharmed, they instantly breathed a sigh of relief.
It appeared they were afraid that the Crown Prince had been killed by the Emperor.
“…Your Highness, you finally returned safely.”
“We heard that Red Leaf Villa has been destroyed. The sixth prince brought down everything before he died; it was too perilous.”
“Now that you’ve escaped this calamity, you should be able to have a few days of peace.”
The confidants of the Crown Prince whispered in relief, narrating some happenings that occurred after the Crown Prince had left the city.
From the words of these confidants, Li Muyang finally understood the cause of the destruction of Red Leaf Villa.
It turns out the Emperor wanted to kill the sixth prince and sent the Crown Prince to Red Leaf Villa to apprehend him. But the sixth prince chose to commit suicide and, before dying, somehow destroyed the entire Red Leaf Villa.
The vast Red Leaf Villa was ruined overnight, and all the Qianwu guards who entered it were wiped out.
Now, it seems only the Crown Prince had returned alive.
The officials of the Crown Prince’s estate were overjoyed, and Li Muyang, following behind the little girl, returned to the Crown Prince’s estate as well.
And the little girl, Nie Yubing, being the daughter of a governor, was quite experienced and knowledgeable.
Entering the royal city, directly facing the terrifying Emperor, and now impersonating the Crown Prince back at the eastern palace of the Crown Prince… Throughout it all, she behaved very calmly.
Although she was somewhat nervous at first, at least she managed the royal demeanor of the Crown Prince well, and no one detected anything amiss.
After returning to the eastern palace, the little girl gave a few simple instructions and dismissed everyone, using rest as an excuse to close the door of the room.
“…Immortal, just now in Martial Virtue Hall, I think I saw many demons’ silhouettes.”
As soon as the door was shut, leaving only her and Li Muyang in the room, the little girl spoke in a hushed, terrified voice.
The girl had also seen those terrible demons around the Emperor through the eyes of the skin-changing monster.
This was a huge shock for the young girl.
She could have never imagined that inside the imperial palace, by His Majesty’s side, there would be so many demons!
Li Muyang shook his head and said, “Those monsters are not the strongest. There are even more powerful demons by the Emperor’s side.”
He remembered the time in the North Land, when the group of notorious demons had shown their formidable strength and eventually took away the headless corpse of the Temple-Sealing Lord.
Those demons must still be on their way south, but they were likely close to returning to the Capital City by now.
That group of demons, they were the strongest amongst the demons of the south.
Having breached the Bodhi Tree realm and driven the Bodhi Reverend into a desperate situation… what exactly does the Emperor of the Lu Imperial Dynasty want to do with such a massive force under his control?
The more Li Muyang understood the situation inside the Capital City, the more puzzled he became.
The Emperor, possessing such a formidable force, was still driven to his doorstep by the rebels, yet he made no move to send the monsters to defend against the enemy.
Could it be that outside Heiyuan Pass, the rebel forces held a power that the Emperor feared?
Hmm…
Li Muyang recalled that the group of rebels possessed an Ancient Immortal Artifact.
The Blood Demon Holy Maiden from the chat group was among the rebels.
Perhaps the Emperor feared the Ancient Immortal Artifact? Is that why he was holed up in the palace and unwilling to venture out?
Otherwise, with the Emperor’s strength, if he personally led the demon army to attack, breaking through the rebels’ lines shouldn’t be difficult, right?
After waiting for a while with the little girl at the Crown Prince’s residence, the in-game time quickly accelerated.
Soon, the night grew dark, and darkness fell.
Under the veil of night, the demonic aura within the Capital City grew even more intense.
But the clouds in the sky strangely dispersed, revealing a sky full of stars.
Trails of resplendent moonlight cascaded down upon the Capital City, where numerous monsters openly absorbed the yin energy of the moonlight.
Li Muyang, standing by the window, silently observed the majestic scene of thousands of monsters worshiping the moon within the Capital City.
At that moment, a figure suddenly emerged from the ground.
It was the woman he had met once before, the one named Nie Yubing or Tang Mengchen.
Still wearing a bamboo hat covering her face, her appearance was mysterious and eerie.
Emerging from the ground, she spoke to Nie Yubing in a cold voice.
“…Prince Six has said, you don’t want to leave the Capital City, but instead, you want to go save someone?”
Tang Mengchen’s tone was indifferent, as if the little girl before her was a stranger.
But when she appeared, the little girl excitedly threw herself at her.
“Second Mother!” Nie Yubing burst out with the woman’s true identity, leaping out of the demon’s skin and tightly hugging the woman’s legs.
Upon her identity being exposed, Tang Mengchen’s body stiffened abruptly, failing to evade the little girl’s embrace.
Feeling the little girl’s excited joy as she clung to her, Tang Mengchen fell silent for a moment before saying, “…How did you recognize me? Did Prince Six tell you?”
The little girl did not answer the question but excitedly looked up and said, “Second Mother! Prince Six said you have a way to help me save my two brothers, we must hurry and rescue them.”
“They are to be executed the day after tomorrow; my brothers cannot die.”
The little girl’s thoughts were constantly on her brothers’ safety, anxious and worried.
Tang Mengchen looked at the little girl’s anxious expression and fell silent without a word.
Then she shook her head, “I should send you out of the Pass instead, away from the Capital City, this place of conflict.”
“As for your two brothers, I will find a way to save them.”
“Your father is already dead, I will not stand by and watch the Nie family line come to an end.”
The woman’s tone was calm, but her eyes were filled with determination.
The little girl hesitated slightly and asked, “Second Mother, why has the situation in the Capital City become like this?”
“Why are there so many demons by His Majesty’s side?”
