Chapter 333 Don’t Go In
Under the moonlight, the foot of Black Stone Mountain, which looked gloomy and eerily sinister, was unexpectedly brightly lit, home to a bustling little mortal town.
Although its walls were low, built with rammed earth, and its defensive capabilities underwhelming,
in the wilderness beyond the rule of any dynasty, such walls were already considered formidable, sufficient to withstand the ravages of robbers and bandits.
Behind those humble walls, nearly every household in the city had its lights on.
As Li Muyang approached the city walls, he could even hear the noise coming from within.
The city seemed as lively as if a festival were taking place.
The Dragon Lady felt astonishment, and Li Muyang was also quite surprised.
Under the watchful eyes of that group of sinister and terrifying women, there was actually such a bustling human town.
He scaled the city wall without a sound, stepping into the city.
Indeed, inside the city, a celebration was in progress.
With homes festooned with lanterns and banners, crowds of people covered in bright paint and dressed in red ceremonial robes chanted in strange tongues, beating drums and sticks as they paraded through the streets.
And the bystanders on both sides of the road cheered and shouted in response.
Li Muyang stood in the midst of the crowd, watching for a while, his face showing a look of astonishment.
For the people in red robes with strange paint on their faces were shouting as they carried a lifelike statue of a deity through the city.
Everyone was chanting the deity’s venerable name, and under the bright lights, the side profile of the lifelike statue—a supremely beautiful and serene immortal maiden—was clearly visible.
The voice of the Dragon Lady, full of astonishment, sounded in his ear.
"Li Muyang! Isn’t that your Chu Qingxue?!"
The Dragon Lady was incredibly shocked.
Li Muyang, seeing the statue, was dumbstruck as well.
For the entire city was chanting the immortal maiden’s title.
"Longevity and Happiness to the Glass Immortal Maiden!"
"Eternal Wealth and Blessings to the Glass Immortal Maiden!"
The whole city was celebrating and praying to the supremely beautiful and serene immortal maiden.
The Dragon Lady was scared by the fanatical behavior of these people.
"Your Immortal Chu wouldn’t be the mastermind behind this, would she..."
Li Muyang, with narrowed eyes observing the city’s festivities, shook his head: "Impossible! Qing Xue could never be an evil being!"
The scene before him was clearly of the same nature as the evil women from the Buddhist Goddess Temple entering the pass to impersonate the Glass Immortal Maiden.
They were merely using Chu Qingxue’s name for their own purposes.
However, Li Muyang had no idea why the Buddhist Goddess Temple would impersonate the Glass Immortal Maiden for their own ends.
So far, he had seen dozens of Evil Women.
But not a single one of them wore a fragrance pouch.
Do none of the Evil Women on this mountain carry the White Bone Great Year...?
Following the steps of the two Evil Women, Li Muyang finally arrived at the summit of Black Stone Mountain.
At the top was an exceedingly spacious platform, with a temple built on it, emitting a strong malevolent energy under the moonlight.
Just seeing the temple and feeling its energy was too much for the Dragon Maiden.
"Stop, stop, stop! Don’t go in there! Don’t go in!"
The aura of these Evil Women naturally repelled both Li Muyang and Bite-Moon Crocodile.
Seeing how intense the malevolent energy was inside the temple, the Dragon Maiden was immediately anxious.
"Going in there would be no different from walking into a latrine!"
However, Li Muyang ignored the Dragon Maiden’s cries.
He bore the discomfort in his body, furrowed his brows, and stepped into the Mother Buddha Temple.

Inside the gloomy and dark Mother Buddha Temple, only one hall had lights on.
The destination where Li Muyang was led to was this hall, lit by a single faint, lonely lamp.
In the expansive hall stood an altar, upon which was a ten-meter-tall magnificent statue.
Cold and exquisitely beautiful, carrying an Immortal Sword, the statue depicted the same person worshiped by the mortals below the mountain—the Glass Immortal Maiden.
And in front of this giant statue in the vacant hall, sat a quiet figure.
A lone lamp was lit beside her.
The dim yellow light cast upon the woman made her face fluctuate between light and shadow.
However, the moment the Dragon Maiden saw the woman’s face, she was utterly shocked.
"Chu Qingxue?"
She called out in utter terror, "Li Muyang! Your old flame is indeed the mastermind behind the scenes!"
——The woman sitting upright inside the hall had a face identical to Chu Qingxue’s!
Li Muyang’s expression also paused slightly, revealing astonished eyes.
But under the solitary lamp, the woman with the same face as Glass Immortal Maiden Chu Qingxue, with hands clasped together, softly smiled and said.
"We finally meet."
"Nameless Lord..."
"I have been waiting for this day for a long time."
