Chapter 303 A Strand of Hair, Tying a Good Fate
The woman's gaze cut straight through the rowdy, fervent crowd, locking onto Li Muyang amidst the throng.
The moment their eyes met, Li Muyang's heart chilled.
In her eyes, he saw a trace of manic joy.
...Manic joy?
Manic joy at seeing me?
Li Muyang immediately sensed danger.
Could this woman also be a wandering spirit? Coming for me?@@@@
But her aura was clearly human, lacking the pungent, decayed scent peculiar to wandering spirits.
With the situation unclear, Li Muyang didn't act rashly, but stood amid the crowd, coldly staring at the sinister woman on the platform.
And the sinister woman, after just one glance at him, made no further moves.
She continued to smile amongst the hysterical shouts of the mortals, exhibiting affability and miraculous deeds.
Besides "reviving" the dead daughter of that woman, she displayed several other miracles amongst the villagers.
Curing diseases with talisman water, enlightening the foolish husband—everything was so typical, perfectly fitting the mortals' imagination of a celestial being.
The voice of the Flood Dragon Moonbite rang in Li Muyang's ear.
"Li Muyang, isn't this person your friend? Why does it seem like she doesn't recognize you?"
Flood Dragon Moonbite was extremely curious.
Hearing the voice in his ear, Li Muyang fell silently silent, not answering her question, and instead carefully asked her the reason she came to this place.
Flood Dragon Moonbite was confused, but still obediently recounted the events of the past day and night since Li Muyang had left.
After Li Muyang left yesterday morning, she continued to hunt the malevolent beings mentioned in the desires of the mortals.
She completely imitated Li Muyang's actions, ignoring the weasel that followed behind.
The weasel also followed her cautiously, not daring to say another word.
Everything was so simple until, on her way to hunt the malevolent beings, she heard that a fairy from the South had arrived nearby.
People said the fairy possessed unfathomable Divine Skills, the famed Glass Immortal Maiden, a disciple of Master Qing Xue of the Mysterious Sword Sect, who had come to the North Land to save the world and subdue demons.
Upon learning the whereabouts of the Glass Immortal Maiden, Flood Dragon Moonbite immediately rushed over happily, hence stumbling upon this black sword-bearing, saintly-appearing sinister woman...
After hearing Flood Dragon Moonbite's account, Li Muyang fell into a wordless silence.
On the high platform, the sinister woman manifested miracles publicly, each miraculous act spurring the surrounding mortals into even greater frenzy, their cheers becoming more piercing.
Even the simple Biting Moon Flood Dragon realized something was amiss at this moment.
"...Li Muyang, your friend doesn't seem like a good person."
A cautious voice rang in his ear, hinting, "Have you been deceived?"
But Li Muyang watched the sinister woman onstage with a cold gaze and said, "She is not Chu Qingxue, just an imposter."
"Ah? An imposter?"
"That's right..."
Li Muyang observed with a cold eye as the sinister woman took the townspeople's hair. As the strands entered the sachet, a warm breath rose from the bodies of these mortals and gathered into the sachet in the hands of the sinister woman.
And these mortals were completely oblivious to it.
The Biting Moon Flood Dragon was taken aback, "Something has been taken from these mortals!"
Li Muyang's gaze was icy as he watched the group of mortals who voluntarily offered up their hair and said, "It's their lifespan... These mortals have willingly given their lifespan to that woman."
A few months for some, a year or two for others... the vitality of these mortals visibly diminished, with their own life spans being plundered.
The act of offering up their hair was entirely some sort of wicked ritual.
Allowing the sinister woman to plunder the lifespan of mortals in broad daylight!
Though the lifespan lost by each individual was not much, with such a vast number...
Li Muyang left the crowd and walked towards the outskirts of the town.
He no longer paid attention to the fanatical mortals, instead, he was seeking a suitable place to do battle.
Sure enough, not long after his departure, the sinister woman, who had harvested the townsmen's lifespan, stood in his way with a smile.
After taking the lifespan of the townspeople, she quickly caught up with Li Muyang.
Now facing each other on a secluded and gloomy mountain path, Li Muyang raised an eyebrow.
"...Do you need something from me, Immortal Maiden?"
But the sinister woman was holding the plain white sachet in her left hand and gripping the strange black sword in her right.
Looking at Li Muyang in the morning light, her eyes were filled with fanatic greed.
"Ascendant!"
