THE FAIRIES I FLIRTED WITH IN THE GAME BECAME REAL?!

Gong Yanghong smiled as he raised his glass and greeted everyone.

At the moment his words ended, the gaze of all the cultivators in the banquet hall fell on Li Muyang.

Li Muyang suddenly became the center of attention, and his heart leaped.

—Could it be that they would publicly announce his engagement to Liu Lian’er tonight?

How sudden!

At this moment, Li Muyang found it somewhat unbelievable.

Logically, such a major event affecting two sects should require prior arrangements, selecting an auspicious date, then inviting guests, announcing to the world, and creating a grand scenario.

Although tonight’s banquet was high-profile, it fell far short of what a marriage alliance between two major sects would entail.

Li Muyang unconsciously looked towards Gong Yanghong.

Beneath the bright candlelight, Gong Yanghong stood up smiling and addressed the crowd.

“This old man has received accurate news that Elder Tianxin will arrive in three days.”

“This will be a battle that shocks the world. Since the Dharma-Ending Age, there has never before been a fight between two cultivators from the Eternal Heaven Realm.”

“Although I am confident in my victory, many elders have advised me to establish a successor in advance as a precaution.”

“After much consideration, I feel the time has come.”

“Since I have been leading the Demon Sect, inheriting the foundation from the previous Sect Masters and holding the supreme power, it has now been two hundred and thirty-six years.”

“Over these two hundred years, although I have nurtured many excellent disciples, none have been the preferred choice to succeed me.”

“But recently, to my surprise, I have discovered a young man of iron will and exceptional talent, whose mind is unfazed by myriad thoughts and whose determination is unyielding.”

Gong Yanghong said this as he looked towards Li Muyang… and Yan Xiaoru by his side.

Gong Yanghong smiled and said, “This old man has decided that from today, Elder Yan Xiaoru of the Enforcement Hall will be appointed as the Young Sect Master of the Refinement Demon Sect!”

“If something untoward happens to me in the battle three days from now, or when I eventually depart from this world, the position of Sect Master of the Demon Sect will be inherited by Elder Yan!”

Gong Yanghong laughed heartily as he finished speaking.

In an instant, everyone in the banquet hall had a strange expression on their faces.

Yan Xiaoru, next to Li Muyang, suddenly stood up with a look of astonishment.

She glanced at Li Muyang next to her, then at herself.

That astonished expression seemed to indicate she thought the chosen one would be Li Muyang…

Li Muyang secretly observed the expressions of others in the hall, especially the elders of the Refinement Demon Sect.

Clearly, the astonishment at this outcome was not limited to Yan Xiaoru alone.

It seemed that before Gong Yanghong announced the result, everyone had mistakenly assumed that Li Muyang would be chosen as the Young Sect Master…

Although calling a Demon Sect elder a young talent was quite absurd.

But compared to the several hundred-year-old monsters present, Yan Xiaoru, who had ascended to the Purple Mansion Realm at over thirty, could indeed be considered a young talent.

She could even be said to be unquestionably the foremost among the younger generation.

After all, most cultivators her age were still struggling in the Profound Mystery Realm.

Yet Yan Xiaoru had already ascended to the Purple Mansion, standing on an equal footing with the older generation of cultivators…

In the banquet hall, after this announcement, there was a long moment of silence.

Everyone was baffled by the result.

The position of Sect Master in the Demon Sect had always been selected from the disciples of the Trampling Snow Peak lineage.

Choosing an elder who had taken discipleship under him to control a hall as a successor like Gong Yanghong did… was absolutely the first time since the founding of the Refinement Demon Sect.

Not until Gong Yanghong smiled and coughed did everyone in the banquet hall snap out of it.

People stood up one after another, smiling as they congratulated Yan Xiaoru on becoming the Young Sect Master, and Gong Yanghong for establishing a successor.

And Li Muyang, standing next to Yan Xiaoru, had completely become an overlooked nobody, utterly lacking any presence.

He looked towards Yan Xiaoru in the crowd and noticed Yan Xiaoru was also looking at him.

Despite being established as the future Sect Master of the Demon Sect, Yan Xiaoru’s face showed no sign of joy.

As she and Li Muyang made eye contact, they could both see the seriousness in each other’s eyes.

Although controlling the power of the Refinement Demon Sect could make any cultivator in the world go mad.

But in the eyes of Li Muyang and Yan Xiaoru, who knew the inside story, taking control of the Refinement Demon Sect was not a good thing; it was, in fact, a deadly deal.

Once she became the Sect Master of the Refinement Demon Sect, she would be subjected to soul possession by the Old Demon Head of Demon Refining, who had survived for more than a thousand years!

It was akin to death!

Had the Old Demon Head of Demon Refining chosen Yan Xiaoru as the target for soul possession this time?

Did he fancy Yan Xiaoru for her strong talent in the Purple Mansion Realm at just over thirty years old?

Li Muyang silently stood at the edge of the banquet hall, watching Yan Xiaoru, who was surrounded and congratulated by everyone, feeling a chill in his heart.

It seemed that he could no longer stay in this Demon Refining Sect.

…

“…You don’t seem very happy?”

A familiar woman’s voice suddenly rang in his ear, awakening the pensive Li Muyang.

He turned around sharply, only to find that the naturally seductive Young Sect Master of the Hehuan Sect had appeared by his side without him noticing.

As their gazes met, Liu Lian’er’s eyes formed crescents, and she softly asked with a smile, “Are you disappointed? Disappointed that you did not become the Young Sect Master?”

As Liu Lian’er spoke, she leaned in closer, almost draping herself over Li Muyang.

Her bright eyes wide, she stared into Li Muyang’s pupils, curiously saying, “But I did not see disappointment in your eyes; instead, I saw some… worry? Unease?”

Liu Lian’er asked with immense curiosity, “What are you worried about?”

Liu Lian’er leaned so close that their bodies were nearly touching.

Li Muyang’s mind was clear, but his body instinctively wanted to lean closer to her.

There was a powerful allure about this naturally seductive demoness that seemed impossible to escape.

Li Muyang took a deep breath, suddenly leaned back, and forcefully resisted the charm of this demoness.

—This demoness had such keen insights.

If he got any closer, she might really discern something.

Luckily, he was immune to illusions and seductive techniques.

This demoness’s naturally seductive body could attract his physical instincts but could not confound his mind.

After creating some distance, Li Muyang frowned and looked at Liu Lian’er, changing the subject.

“…Miss Liu, you’re getting too close, and it’s improper.”

Li Muyang’s serious demeanor only amused Liu Lian’er even more.

She laughed heartily and said, “What’s wrong with being a little closer? Mister Li, shall we continue talking about your worries?”

Liu Lian’er seemed intent on leaning closer to Li Muyang.

But just then, a woman’s icy voice rang out beside them,

interrupting Liu Lian’er’s approach.

“…Demoness! Stay away from him!”

As the voice fell, a majestic and upright aura from a Buddhist cultivator suddenly swept over.

Liu Lian’er’s heart skipped a beat, and she immediately stepped back, creating distance.

She and Li Muyang both turned their heads to see an icy-eyed woman standing nearby.

The Master of the Immortal Device, Qing Hui!

She coldly watched Liu Lian’er and said, “In the presence of so many, trying to bewitch others, seizing a man’s heart… Do the women of your Hehuan Sect have no shame?”
