Chapter 670: Treatment of a Madman
Aunt Su's treatment took Li Muyang a full eight hours to completely remove the corrosive Demonic Qi from her body.
Then it transitioned to routine wound treatment, feeding her medicinal soups and applying Spiritual Medicine externally to treat the physical body and restore the Divine Soul.
These tasks, Li Muyang not being a specialist, were naturally handed over to the professional Cultivators of the Hidden Immortal Alliance.
He stood up and saw a monkey that had been waiting for a long time not far away.
By this time, it was already dark, and night had fallen over the land.
The Spirit Monkey Great General of the Hidden Immortal Alliance was waiting in the ruins in front of the Li residence.
It had been there for a while but had remained silent, standing aside waiting without disturbing Li Muyang.
Now that Li Muyang had approached, the Spirit Monkey Great General finally spoke: "...We have mobilized all the manpower we can summon, centering around Fuyun City, searching in all directions for the trail left by Yan Xiaoru."
The first sentence upon their meeting was the Great General outlining the situation of the Hidden Immortal Alliance.
Li Muyang was slightly surprised, amazed at how seriously the Hidden Immortal Alliance was taking the kidnapping of Li Damu and his wife.
He had no particular rapport with the Hidden Immortal Alliance, and Li Damu and his wife were just ordinary people. Now that they had been abducted, the Hidden Immortal Alliance had mobilized a large number of people to pursue them.
Though it was highly unlikely they would be found, such a large-scale operation was not something ordinary people could enjoy.
Li Muyang was at a loss for words for a moment.
As their son, he should be shedding tears of gratitude and deeply memorizing this favor in his heart.
But in reality, as a transmigrator, Li Muyang…
After hesitating for a few seconds with an uncertain look, unable to feign an expression of gratitude, Li Muyang could only nod with a complicated tone, "Thank you for the concern of the Hidden Immortal Alliance, my parents have already been much looked after in the Ark beyond this world, and now to trouble you all further for them, it really troubles my heart."
Li Muyang was really not good at acting, so he could only try to express his thanks as sincerely as possible.
However, his words could be considered as accepting the goodwill of the Hidden Immortal Alliance.
The expression of the Spirit Monkey Great General remained solemn, showing no change, but the Silver Clear sisters behind it obviously sighed in relief.
It seemed that Li Muyang's acceptance of their favor reassured them.
After hastily dealing with everyone, Li Muyang accompanied the comatose Aunt Su and Brother Cheng, who was also unconscious, to another courtyard in the city.
This was another place arranged by the Hidden Immortal Alliance for Li Muyang and his party.
Li Muyang, guarding the critically injured Aunt Su and the unconscious Brother Cheng, had a complex expression.
He hadn't expected that Yan Xiaoru, after her demonization, would be so ruthless, even cruelly attacking Aunt Su who had been like a nursing mother to her for many years.
Such disregard for familial ties, her degree of demonization was indeed deep...
After moving to the new courtyard, Li Muyang closed his eyes, temporarily setting aside his mixed thoughts to challenge the beastly incarnation of the Extreme West God Qingzhonghuo in the game.
Yan Xiaoru didn't want to kill him; she had even kidnapped his parents and then fled... This left Li Muyang feeling somewhat at a loss.
He had been worried about his own life and death, but now he was safe and unharmed, only losing two indifferent strangers... As for him, Li Damu and his wife were indeed like strangers.
Therefore, with Li Damu and his wife being abducted, Li Muyang was not at all anxious.
Now that he himself was safe, he should focus on playing the game and aiming to clear it as soon as possible.
— That was the plan.
[You have died, game over]
[You may resurrect after 19:59]
...
Seeing the failure message pop up on his screen, Li Muyang was momentarily dazed.
"Defeated?"
He was somewhat shocked.
This was definitely the most confused and inexplicable defeat he had ever experienced.
Entering the game for less than ten minutes, Li Muyang was killed by the beastly incarnation of the Extreme West God.
Throughout the entire battle, Li Muyang barely made any impressive counterattacks, being completely overwhelmed by his opponent.
He inexplicably felt that his gaming touch was terrible today, as if something was affecting him.
Now back to reality, looking at the defeat CG in his vision, Li Muyang muttered to himself.
"Could it be the original occupant's emotions are still lingering in the body..."
He indeed had no real feelings for Li Damu and his wife.
But now, he was inexplicably affected, feeling somewhat EMO...
"It's definitely the original occupant's residual emotions affecting me," Li Muyang concluded after serious consideration.
While he was pondering, a hurried voice suddenly came from outside.
"Where is Li Muyang? Li Muyang, where are you?!"
A familiar female voice rang out, it was Dan Taiming, who had left for three days.
It was already midnight, the moon high in the sky. Dan Taiming, who said she would return before dawn, had finally arrived late.
Li Muyang, somewhat surprised, got up and went outside, and saw Dan Taiming in the courtyard. She appeared to have been rushing, looking slightly disheveled and her breath somewhat chaotic.
Definitely exhausted from high-intensity Tunneling Light flying for a long time.
Li Muyang was curious and somewhat speechless: "Senior, you are only returning now?"
What about coming back before dawn as promised?
Fortunately, Yan Xiaoru wasn't here to kill him this time. Otherwise, relying on the unreliable Dan Taiming, the opportunity would have been long gone.
Meanwhile, Dan Taiming in the courtyard approached Li Muyang as soon as she saw him unharmed, speaking with a grave expression.
"I heard that your parents were abducted by Xiao Ru. This is bad, but none of us wanted to see this happen. The Hidden Immortal Alliance has been really trying hard to protect your parents. Just don't do anything extreme..."
Dan Taiming's hurried and stern reminder made Li Muyang freeze for a second.
"Do anything extreme? Who said I was going to do anything extreme?"
Since his parents were abducted, hasn't he been utterly calm and composed?
Dan Taiming stared into his eyes and said, "Good! It's good that you are not going extreme!"
"Even though your parents were abducted, Xiao Ru has only demonized, not gone insane. She would not abduct your parents without reason."
"So, you do not have to worry about your parents' safety for the time being. They won't die anytime soon."
"What we need to figure out now is how to find Yan Xiaoru and rescue your parents."
"I just so happen to have a plan, initially meant to deal with Xiao Ru, now it comes in handy."
Dan Taiming continued, "You stay here, don't wander off, and certainly don't overthink."
"I am going to find the Alliance Hierarch to muster help, and we will help you find your parents."
"I'll be back soon, do not wander away! Wait for my news!"
Dan Taiming advised him anxiously several more times, then quickly left.
This urgency left Li Muyang speechless.
It's as if after the disappearance of Li Damu and his wife, everyone's attitude towards him has changed drastically.
Everyone was being overly cautious, as if he were a ticking time bomb.
The only one who hasn't changed seemed to be the one in front of him…
"You're called Third Miss, right?" Looking at the wild boar demon in front of him, Li Muyang curiously asked, "What are you doing staying here? Did the Hidden Immortal Alliance arrange for you to stay as well?"
The Third Miss, caught by Dan Taiming, still had an indifferent and resigned expression.
She sat on the steps in the courtyard, expressionlessly looking at Li Muyang, and said, "Ah right, I'm here to watch you."
Third Miss watched Li Muyang and said, "Dan Taiming said, afraid you might go crazy and act out, she told me to stay. If you have any abnormal behavior, I'll notify her first."
