Chapter 175 The Terrifying Li Muyang
Chapter 175 The Terrifying Li Muyang
After claiming the Martial God Domineering Body as a system reward, Li Muyang once again began the fourth stage of "Deadly Wild Grass."
"Call of the Mountains" was no longer accessible.
Li Muyang suddenly found himself with some free time.
"Deadly Wild Grass" is an unlimited time game, and the nurturing process in the fourth stage was exceedingly long, so there was no need to rush.
After all, hurrying wouldn't make it go any faster.
With the perfect completion of "Call of the Mountains," Li Muyang was finally no longer holed up in the inn playing games every day.
He had accepted an invitation from his adoptive younger sister for a trip out of the city.

In the days that followed, he, Li Yuechan, and Ning Wan'er traveled to several ancient temples and famous mountains around Tianjiao City, enjoying the scenery, tasting local cuisine, and experiencing the culture of Tianjiao City.
During that time, the siblings learned of the latest developments in their mission from Ning Wan'er.
Under the relentless pressure of the Demon Sect, the old Valley Master of Chaotic Soul Valley finally couldn't withstand the pressure, was forced to concede, and handed over three cities under Chaotic Soul Valley's command to the Refinement Demon Sect.
This Demon Path power, already not very large to begin with, suddenly became an army without a base, with only Chaotic Soul Valley left as its territory.
After the captured spy from the Blood Lotus Sect was tortured for several days without yielding any information, Yan Xiaoru took matters into her own hands and used the Soul Searching Technique.
While the spy from the Blood Lotus Sect turned into a complete idiot, the Refinement Demon Sect finally learned the whereabouts of the Immortal Artifact.
It turned out that the Immortal Artifact, which was about to emerge, was now in the hands of the Blood Lotus Sect.
But the Immortal Artifact was still dormant and yet to awaken, and now it required a catalyst—the divine horn within Tianjiao City.
It was said that only by using the broken piece of that divine horn could the dormant Immortal Artifact be awakened.
——The name of the city, Tianjiao City, originated from the divine horn within the city.
That horn was fractured and broken, but it contained mysterious and mighty power.
Now, that broken horn stood within the city, strictly sealed off by the Refinement Demon Sect, and was a forbidden area in the city.
The Blood Lotus Sect wanted the divine horn, but they had already alarmed the Refinement Demon Sect.
Subsequently, a number of battles broke out within Tianjiao City.
In the most serious of these, even Yan Xiaoru was disturbed and took action herself.
The holiday for the three, Li Muyang, was involuntarily cut short, and they started to join the search teams in the city to find those Blood Lotus Sect demons hiding within.
However, those Blood Lotus Sect demons could disguise themselves as ordinary people without cultivation, and once they blended into the crowd, it became difficult to find them.
In the vast Tianjiao City, with a population of over a million.
To find the hidden cultivators from the Blood Lotus Sect in such a large city was incredibly difficult.
In this day-to-day search, time flew by quickly.
Atop this platform, the Supervisor of the Astronomical Observatory, who had been resting, suddenly opened his eyes.
A figure stood before him at some unknown time, hands behind his back, quietly gazing at the night view of the capital.
A hint of a smile appeared on the aged face of the Supervisor.
"...You haven't been to this Star-gazing Platform in decades, Qingye the Eccentric."
The White-Clothed Qingye stood with his hands behind his back, without turning his head, seemingly unwilling to face the Supervisor's wrinkled visage.
"You should have read the 'Evil God Investigation Report'."
Ignoring the Supervisor's jovial remark, Qingye with his black hair and starry eyes stood upright like an Immortal portrayed in paintings, his long beard fluttering, transcendent and aloof.
His tone was so even that no emotion could be detected: "What are your thoughts?"
Under the blanket of stars, the Star-gazing Platform fell silent for a long while.
It seemed as if the old Supervisor was at a loss for words, unable to reply immediately.
After a long time, the enigmatic sigh of the elder sounded.
"...Very frightening."
The old man murmured somberly.
Qingye, expressionless, replied, "You are the contemporary Supervisor of the Astronomical Observatory, and you feel fear? Your divine status is not inferior to the Ancient Evil God in the Well of Ancient Grievances... Why should you fear?"
But the old man sighed softly and shook his head: "Elder Qingye misunderstands; it's not the Evil God that I fear."
"Although the Evil Gods in the Well of Ancient Grievances are terrifying, they are trapped beneath the well, unable to return to the world of men, and unlikely to cause calamity in the short run."
"What truly frightens me is that mysterious and enigmatic individual, Nameless..."
The Supervisor murmured, his tone complex.
Qingye remained silent for a moment, "...You are versed in the Heavenly Proliferation Technique; can you divine the origins of this person from the stars?"
The old Supervisor shook his head again: "I cannot divine it... That person's past, present, and future seem to be shrouded in fog. Even with my refined methods, I cannot ascertain any information about him."
"He appears in this world like a floating weed, appearing with the wind and disappearing with it, unpredictable and enigmatic."
"This person may be a Great Divine Power much beyond our imagination, using supreme Divine Skills to obscure the heavenly secrets, managing to deceive the heavens and achieve astounding deeds."
"Or perhaps, he is a deity who escaped the great catastrophe of ancient times..."
The old Supervisor spoke softly, his eyes and brows lowering as he murmured.
Qingye fell into silence.
"A deity who escaped the ancient catastrophe..."
He had killed an Ancient God before, but he was also aware of the terror of the Ancient Gods.
If this Nameless person really was an Ancient God, their Divine Skills and status would surely far surpass that of the false god he had once slain...
