Chapter 366: Staggering Away by Leaning on the Wall
Chapter 366: Staggering Away by Leaning on the Wall
The room was filled with fluttering red gauze, and the bedding was warm.
Li Muyang, lying in the soft, large bed, sighed softly.
"...Elders really do have money, bedding made of silkworm silk is truly luxurious."
The key is that she also carries this large bed around with her, and can take it out from the Qiankun Ring at any time.
Yan Xiaoru really knows how to enjoy life.
In the warm bedding, the woman’s face was rosy as she hummed lightly, lazily sprawling on the soft bed, and said, "I can’t sleep on any other beds or pillows."
No matter where she went, Yan Xiaoru always took her large bed with her.
Yet she hadn’t expected that right now, it would serve an unexpected purpose...
She felt her limbs light and airy, as if floating above the clouds, unwilling to move, and her comfortable and relaxed state made her want to just sleep through and enjoy this moment of peace.
But remembering that there were still important matters to discuss, Yan Xiaoru still forcibly steadied her mind and spoke in a soft, mellow voice.
"I have found out why the Green Sheep Society is after you."
"I asked Elder Ge to check his secret ancient texts and discovered the legend of the Corpse-Resolving Immortal from ancient times."
"That was a terrifying fiend from ancient times, originally a cultivator on the Path of Immortality, but after failing to attain immortality, she took another path and entered the Demon Path, becoming notorious in the Ancient Era by devouring and plundering with a domineering and evil technique."
"The ancient texts’ records about her are vague and unclear, very mysterious."
"But one thing is certain, she could quickly enhance her strength by devouring cultivators... mmh..."
Yan Xiaoru hummed softly from her nostrils and abruptly swatted away Li Muyang’s hand, saying, "Behave yourself, we’re discussing important matters..."
Li Muyang nodded earnestly, "I’m listening, please continue."
Yan Xiaoru, from within the bedding, lifted her head to glare at him, but upon seeing the boy’s innocent expression, she sighed helplessly and didn’t bother him further.
With slightly accelerated breathing, lying in the bedding, Yan Xiaoru spoke softly.
"In the past year, there have been several cultivators murdered under the domain of the Refinement Demon Sect, each of them drained to a husk."
"It began near Yunxiao City, where many loose cultivators died; later, during the uprising of the Blood Lotus Sect and when the Refinement Demon Sect’s cultivators were gathered, that person went to the vicinity of the battleground, ambushed solitary demon cultivators and demons, and harmed hundreds of people."
"Initially, the Sect didn’t take notice of this, believing it to be the work of Blood Lotus Sect’s assassins during the battles."
"But after I followed up on your clue, I found that the murderer hunting down cultivators under the Refinement Demon Sect’s domain may indeed be the successor to the Corpse-Resolving Immortal mentioned by the Green Sheep Society... huh..."
After speaking seriously for quite a while, Yan Xiaoru suddenly sat up, breaking free from Li Muyang’s strong hand.
The silk bedding slid off her shoulders, revealing a body as pale and smooth as jade, stretching out under the bright light.@@@@
The moment he walked out supporting himself on the wall, he felt dizzy and nearly lost his balance.
"Damn it..."
I am a Core Formation Realm cultivator, after all!
And I possess the Martial God Domineering Body!
Yet even such a strong physique ended up defeated in the final moments.
In this battle of the Sword Dao, Li Muyang won at first.
But in the end, it was Yan Xiaoru who had the upper hand.
The Elder’s cultivation from the Purple Mansion was indeed out of the ordinary, with prolonged breath and profound depths, the stamina too fierce.
Li Muyang reflected on the gap between their strengths, storing today’s defeat in his heart.
This time when he went back, he would certainly train diligently to break through to the Profound Void Realm.
Once his cultivation improved and his strength increased, he would find Yan Xiaoru for a challenge, to wash away today’s shame.

Besides exchanging knowledge on the Sword Dao and enhancing their understanding of it, Li Muyang also reached a consensus with Yan Xiaoru on many matters.
At the very least, he had understood Yan Xiaoru’s real purpose, as well as her previous concerns.
He also showed the existence of the Startling Swan Immortal Sword to Yan Xiaoru, and the two of them could be considered open-hearted, no longer concealing themselves.
It’s just that Yan Xiaoru’s lifespan gave Li Muyang a headache.
According to Yan Xiaoru, she might not live past fifty years old.
In this world full of miracles, even a fifty-year-old commoner is considered short-lived, let alone compared to a cultivator.
Li Muyang was troubled; to help Yan Xiaoru extend her life, he needed to find the Divine Spirit Heart in the Refinement Demon Sect’s mountain gate to refine the elixir of immortality.
But the problem was, Li Muyang had previously used the special perspective of an Ascendant to see the true nature of the Refinement Demon Sect’s mountain gate.
The entire Refinement Demon Sect was built on the carcass of a divine spirit, but among those fragmented and scattered limbs, there seemed to be no heart...
Li Muyang worried whether the heart had been secretly hidden by the Ancestor of Demon Refinement, or if it was already gone.
"Sigh... No matter what, this time I’ve received an S-level nightmare mission."
To slay the Demon Sect’s Sect Master, to obliterate the legacy of the Refinement Demon Sect.
Given his and Yan Xiaoru’s current level of cultivation, achieving this goal is too difficult.
