The fairies I flirted with in the game became real?!

Yan Xiaoru's indifferent questioning left Li Muyang dumbfounded.

"Ah?"

He almost doubted his hearing, always feeling that such a strange question shouldn't come from Yan Xiaoru.

But under the dimly lit lanterns hanging at the city gate, Yan Xiaoru, clad in a purple robe, looked at him indifferently, standing straight with icy eyes, as if she was interrogating yet seemed to be speaking to herself.

"To you, what am I?"

Yan Xiaoru repeated the question once again.

This time, Li Muyang heard it clearly.

Very clearly.

He hesitated subconsciously: "Er... Elder Yan?"

Li Muyang subconsciously wanted to ask—what on earth are you trying to say! Can you make yourself a little clearer!

Why has this woman suddenly become a riddle master?

But just as he opened his mouth and before he could express himself, Yan Xiaoru had already nodded emotionlessly.

"Good! You are a clever man!"

She nodded in approval at Li Muyang, saying, "If we can survive this calamity, I will take you as my direct disciple and teach you the profound arts!"

Having said that, Yan Xiaoru turned and left.

Under the dim light, the woman's figure visibly relaxed, as if she had taken a long sigh of relief.

Leaving Li Muyang completely astounded.

This woman—what the heck is the rush for!

I haven't even finished speaking yet!

Li Muyang instinctively chased after her, wanting to speak: "Elder Yan..."

But after catching up, Yan Xiaoru no longer looked at him but walked directly to the edge of the city wall and called down.

"Cheng Feiyang, are the troops assembled?"

Below the city wall, headed by brother Cheng and other white-robed disciples, all the outer sect disciples of the Demon Sect who were accompanying them stood in formation.

Behind the outer sect disciples were all the various cultivators from within Tianjiao City.

Further back were the soldiers from the Tianjiao City patrol camp.

Under the night sky, torches burned fiercely, illuminating the faces of everyone present.

Although the cultivators had their cultivation bases stripped, their physically conditioned bodies from the Qi refining realm remained stronger than ordinary humans and even stronger than common warriors.

Furthermore, the cultivators and the Blood Lotus Sect are sworn enemies, with no possibility of surrender and survival.

Therefore, tonight's breakout will be led by these Demon Sect disciples as the spearhead, striking towards the city outskirts with twenty thousand patrol camp soldiers following.

Now that Yan Xiaoru and Li Muyang had emerged, the Demon Sect disciples below the walls all tensely gripped their weapons and stood straight.

Seeing such an array and being watched by so many eyes, Li Muyang who had followed Yan Xiaoru out immediately shut his mouth.

The words he wanted to say at this moment were not appropriate to speak.

He could only respectfully exhibit the demeanor of an inner sect disciple, standing beside Yan Xiaoru.

Following Yan Xiaoru's commands.

And among the white-robed disciples, a woman covered in blood was tied to a cart.

Nangong Ting, the young Valley Master of the Chaotic Soul Valley and one of the four great masters of the Blood Lotus Sect, was now tied on the cart, with her arms and legs broken, looking miserable.

But upon seeing Yan Xiaoru and Li Muyang coming down, this woman smiled and shouted,

"Li Muyang! Will you be able to walk out of Tianjiao City alive tonight?"

Li Muyang looked at her, grinned showing his white teeth: "Definitely!"

He reached out and pinched the woman's cheek, staring intensely into her eyes, with a radiant smile, "With you out front as a hostage, using you as a shield, I think I've got no problems breaking through!"

A quarter of an hour later, drums sounded, and the gates of Tianjiao City to the east, south, and west opened simultaneously.

The soldiers summoned and charged out of the city, heading toward the continuous military camps outside the city walls.

For a moment, the shouts of battle shook the heavens.

In the tent of the Sect Hierarch, adorned with a large banner reading "By Imperial Decree, Vanquish Demons and Annihilate Immortals," a young girl who was silently observing a map immediately looked up.

Seconds later, the curtain was lifted, and a flagbearer under the girl's command ran in with a face full of joy.

"Miss, your strategy has succeeded!"

"The cultivators from the Demon Sect within Tianjiao City are divided into three groups, rushing out from the east, west, and south gates, each leading twenty thousand soldiers!"

Upon hearing this news, Shen Yan breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Her petite body, wrapped in a thick fur cloak, gently sat down, a faint smile appearing on her face.

"Very well, relay the message to the Sect Hierarch and all the fleet masters."

"Tell them, while pursuing the Demon Sect elders, to deploy forces to block all the routes and passages, not letting any cultivator escape Tianjiao City."

"Also, instruct our camps to put up a slight resistance then let these ruined dogs escape."

"If all goes as expected, those sixty thousand mortal soldiers will quickly surrender after leaving the city due to their weak will to fight, leaving only the cultivators to scatter and flee."

"All the mortal soldiers who surrender on the spot shall be escorted back to camp. Once their identities are verified, they can be released, but their lives must not be harmed."

"Those cultivators fleeing into the wilderness should be pursued with all our might, not letting a single one escape."

The pale fingers of the girl in white gently landed on the map, clenched into a fist: "The esteemed elders of the Refinement Demon Sect must surely be among them!"

"By the end of tonight, we will achieve a complete victory!"

…

The thunderous shouts of battle shook the wilderness outside Tianjiao City.

This vast plain was almost endlessly covered with rice paddies and mounds of dirt.

One would have to flee at least thirty li away to find mountains and forests suitable for hiding.

The only way out for the cultivators escaping from Tianjiao City was to charge across this boundless wilderness and reach the mountains and forests thirty li away.

Liu Hucheng, leading his troops, stood on the road within those thirty li, his gaze coldly sweeping the far-off military camp.

Despite numerous messages arriving, Liu Hucheng made no move.

He led his most elite martial warriors, seemingly detached from the events, unconcerned about the battles erupting to the east, south, and west.

It wasn't until he received the latest news from Nangong Ting.

Upon hearing that Nangong Ting had been taken as a human shield by a white-robed disciple of the Refinement Demon Sect and was fighting fiercely in the forefront, Liu Hucheng snorted coldly.

"Let's go!"

He mounted the demon beast he had tamed for many years, leading hundreds of his followers, also mounted on demon beasts, toward the distance.

In this situation where their cultivation was diminished and everyone was reduced to mere mortals, the physically powerful demon beasts were certainly top-tier mounts.

And they of the Sect had been taming demon beasts for many years.

Now, as hundreds of demon beast cavalry charged out, they instantly tore through the army rampaging unopposed outside Tianjiao City.

The armored patrol camp soldiers, upon seeing the ferocious charge of the demon beast cavalry, immediately fell to their knees in terror, begging for their lives.

But these demon beast cavalry simply ignored the mortal soldiers.

They plowed straight through the crowd, fiercely attacking the front lines of this troop.

"Li Muyang!"

The roars of the demon beast cavalry echoed through the night.

The man swinging his steel saber, covered in blood, turned around only to see clouds of dust sweeping toward him.

Li Muyang's eyes, blurred with blood, narrowed into slits.

The next second, he leaped forward, covering a distance of ten zhang.

A tremendous force burst forth, instantly followed by the agonized howls of demon beasts and the man's cold voice.

"Why call for your granddad?!"
