The Game with Fairies
Chapter 355

In the marsh filled with a faint mist, other odors of fishiness and decay permeated.

The man sleeping in the mud, leaning against the body of a massive Flood Dragon in the marsh, was sleeping with his head tilted back.

The beating of his heart could be faintly seen within his torn chest.

Such a severe injury should have been fatal.

But his breathing still existed, albeit very weak.

At a certain moment, the sleeping man seemed to sense something and slowly opened his eyes in the mud.

“Uh… is someone calling me?”

The man narrowed his eyes and listened for a while before saying,

“Mother, please lend me your senses…”

After speaking, the mysterious man gently rose from the mud, with countless dark mud sliding off his body.

The mud seemed to have become one with him.

Ignoring everything, he stretched out his hand and gently pressed it on the massive Flood Dragon corpse beside him.

The nearly ten-thousand-zhang-long Flood Dragon carcass curled up in the depths of the blood-clouded black marsh, looked like a deformed black island.

As the man’s palm touched the Flood Dragon carcass, a glint of divine light suddenly flashed through his hollow eyes.

The next second, the man’s figure disappeared.

He stepped out and stood at the edge of the black marsh.

Near the marsh, the familiar naive young man was kowtowing forcefully, shouting loudly.

“Senior, please save us! Senior, please save us!”

The young man was kowtowing very hard, his forehead already red.

He kowtowed with such force that if he weren’t a cultivator, his head would have been bloody.

The man stood with his hands clasped behind his back, curiously observing the scene of the young man kowtowing.

After watching for a while, he finally revealed himself from the mist.

“What are you doing?”

His eyes were filled with puzzled curiosity.

He couldn’t understand why the simple and honest youth was acting like this.

He had just recently promised to teach him the profound techniques of cultivation and had even initiated him into the practice.

Yet, after the youth went home to ponder over the cultivation for a few days and returned, he behaved in such a strange manner.

The man was baffled.

But he saw the youth, frantic and anxious, saying, “Senior! I no longer wish to learn your mystical skills.”

“I only ask that you help save my fellow disciple, Senior Brother Li.”

“He’s the one who got along with me and gave me high-grade spiritual rice.”

“On his way home this time, he was targeted by the Qingyang Association’s Old Man of Withered Leaves, who, along with a group of demonic cultivators, is chasing him to kill.”

“Now Senior Brother Li has been driven into a desperate situation, his life hanging by a thread.”

“I beg you, Senior, to intervene and stop Old Man of Withered Leaves and save Senior Brother Li. I am willing to give up the opportunity to follow you in cultivation!”

As the youth spoke, he kowtowed forcefully again.

A quarter of an hour earlier, after hearing the general situation from Li Muyang, he had hurried back to the mountains to seek the help of the mysterious senior in the Black Marsh.

Now that he had seen the senior, he immediately spilled everything out like pouring beans from a bamboo tube.

However, due to the urgency, Guan Xiaoshun’s explanation was quite brief.

The mysterious man listened with some confusion.

“Qingyang Association… Senior Brother Li… Hmm…”

The mysterious man narrowed his eyes in thought and said, “Why would the Qingyang Association trouble your Senior Brother Li for no good reason?”

“Could it be that your Senior Brother Li is somehow related to the ancient Corpse-Resolving Immortal?”

The mysterious man was quite puzzled.

Guan Xiaoshun was slightly taken aback.

“Ancient Corpse-Resolving Immortal?”

After a moment of hesitation, the youth said, “I think I heard Senior Brother Li say that the people from the Qingyang Association suspect he is the descendant of some ancient great power, which is why they are chasing him… But Senior Brother Li spoke in a hurry, and I didn’t listen carefully.”

The youth looked hesitant: “Senior, if you take action, that Old Man of Withered Leaves from the Qingyang Association surely won’t be a match for you, right?”

Previously, when the mysterious man had offered to teach him mystical skills, he had claimed to be the first cultivator in this world to surpass the Purple Mansion and reach the Eternal Heaven Realm.

The Eternal Heaven Realm is two major realms above the Divine Travel Realm.

If the mysterious senior truly is at the Eternal Heaven Realm, then crushing Old Man of Withered Leaves would be as easy as crushing an ant.

However, faced with Guan Xiaoshun’s cautious flattery, the mysterious man just smiled and shook his head.

Ignoring the youth’s flattery, he was more interested in another matter the youth mentioned.

“A suspected descendant of an ancient great power? Then there’s no mistake.”

“Since its establishment, the Qingyang Association has been pursuing the traces of the Corpse-Resolving Immortal.”

“Perhaps your Senior Brother Li’s cultivation has improved too quickly, attracting the suspicion of the Qingyang Association?”

The mysterious man shook his head with a smile and said, “Indeed, Old Man of Withered Leaves is no match for me, but unfortunately, I cannot help you.”

“I cannot leave this marsh for the time being.”

The day he leaves the marsh will be the day he storms into the gates of the Demon Refining Sect.

But now, the time is not yet ripe.

Seeing the youth’s anxious and panicked expression, the mysterious man sighed softly and said,

“Well, I’ll ask around for you…”

After speaking, the mysterious man closed his eyes slightly and stood stiffly as if he had lost all breath.

……

At the same time, Li Muyang, who was waiting outside the mountain for news from Guan Xiaoshun, suddenly felt something.

The three of them had been stopped by Guan Xiaoshun and were waiting for his news.

Unexpectedly, this simple youth from the border town also had a fortuitous encounter and met a powerful and mysterious senior.

If they could persuade the senior to take action and repel Old Man of Withered Leaves, it would save them a lot of trouble.

But as they waited, Li Muyang suddenly heard the beep-beep-beep notification sound of the chat group.

The long-silent chat group was bubbling with activity.

Li Muyang instinctively clicked to look and saw that Everlasting North Star, the one who was most friendly to him, had sent a message.

【Everlasting North Star: Is anyone near Black Marsh City under the jurisdiction of the Demon Refining Sect?】

【Everlasting North Star: Urgent matter, need help!】

Everlasting North Star sent these two sentences several times, effectively spamming the chat.

The chat group’s notifications kept ringing non-stop.

Soon, others also came online.

Seeing that it was Everlasting North Star who was speaking, the members of the chat group began to respond.

【Dangerous Star I: What’s the urgent matter?】

【Ghost Star VII: Everlasting North Star, you’ve ventured into Demon Refining Sect territory? Are you really planning to attack the Demon Refining Sect?!】

【Heart Star: Everlasting North Star, don’t be rash…】

Everyone started to persuade, thinking that Everlasting North Star was planning to attack the Demon Refining Sect.

But Everlasting North Star’s reply denied everyone’s speculation.

【Everlasting North Star: No, it’s just that a young friend of mine is in trouble on the Demon Refining Sect’s territory, a very minor trouble】

【Everlasting North Star: Is there a fellow Daoist near Black Marsh City? Please lend me a hand】

【Everlasting North Star: The enemy is just Old Man of Withered Leaves from the Qingyang Association, merely at the Divine Travel Realm, easily suppressible with a flip of the hand】

Everlasting North Star’s calm tone was filled with strong confidence and dominance.

But Li Muyang’s eyes widened in shock.

Damn…

At this time, with these words from Everlasting North Star…

Could it be that the mysterious senior Guan Xiaoshun encountered was Everlasting North Star?

Crazy…

Was Everlasting North Star really planning to annihilate the Demon Refining Sect?

Had he already quietly made his way onto the Demon Refining Sect’s territory?
