Chapter 682: The Stubborn Third Young Miss
In the gloomy courtyard, Li Muyang, who had been closing his eyes in silence for a long time, suddenly opened his eyes and let out a long breath.
[You have died, game over]
[You can resurrect after 09:59]
The game over CG appeared in his vision.
He had lost.
It was his first challenge, and although he fought desperately, he still lost to the Yellow Robed Immortal.
This was not surprising; after all, Li Muyang was nothing more than a mortal, extremely far from the existence of a True Immortal.
Battling against a True Immortal was even rarer.
The "Rebellion Nine Forms" of the Yellow Robed Immortal, even in ancient times, were enough to look down upon the Group of Immortals, let alone in the Dharma-Ending Age thousands of years later.
Li Muyang, used to minor squabbles, could not so easily defeat an existence at the True Immortal Level… even if this existence was just a corpse.
But the body of the Yellow Robed Immortal, with its various secret techniques and powerful spells, still dazzled Li Muyang.
That was a realm he seldom stepped into, a complete different world from the one where he usually encountered combat.
Last time, using Jiang Xiaoyu's account to battle the Evil Spirit of the Peaceful Realms in "Lethal Wild Grass," it took countless defeats to finally achieve a hard-won victory.
The current Li Muyang was not in a hurry.
He wanted to learn from the battle, to improve himself bit by bit.
As a transmigrator, Li Muyang had a clear understanding of himself.
Without the system, he was just an average mortal with ordinary talent and comprehension, not a prodigy who could learn new spells with a single glance.
Against an Ancient True Immortal like the Yellow Robed Immortal, the only thing he could do was to challenge and practice repeatedly with the help of the system.
To make up for his dullness with diligence.
The good news was, judging by the resurrection time from game failure, the difference in strength between him and the Yellow Robed Immortal was minimal.
The reason he was so thoroughly beaten by the Yellow Robed Immortal's body was purely due to being overwhelmed by the powerful secret techniques and spells.
As long as he continued to improve combat experience, he would soon be able to defeat the body of the Yellow Robed Immortal and face the final battle.
In thought, Li Muyang got up and went out to the courtyard.
Dan Taiming had gone to look for Yan Xiaoru, leaving behind the third pig demoness, who had been subdued by Dan Taiming, in the yard.
The indifferent third demoness stood in the yard, skillfully slicing pig meat on the chopping board with her butcher's knife.
With the knife in her hands gliding effortlessly, the pitifully deceased wild pig was divided into chunks of fresh red meat.
——This wild pig corpse was most likely the third demoness' own body.
Who knows what Dan Taiming had done to her, requiring her own body to die once a day and to slice her own flesh...
Watching the third demoness' proficient knife skills, Li Muyang said, "Senior Dan has left, why continue to slice meat?"
Li Muyang's voice broke the silence in the courtyard, and the third pig demoness gave him an indifferent glance but did not say a word.
She coldly finished dividing the pork and placed it into different bamboo baskets.
Then, carrying these bamboo baskets, the third demoness opened the courtyard's main gate and left the baskets filled with pork at the doorstep.
A group of men, apparently house servants of some influential figure, had been waiting outside already.
These house servants had been waiting at the gate, skillfully picking up the baskets from the ground and loading the pork onto ox carts.
After several house servants expressed their thanks to the third demoness, they drove away with the carts full of pork.
Li Muyang looked on in astonishment, knowing that these servants were regular customers of Dan Taiming's pork shop.
However, he did not expect that, with Dan Taiming gone, the pork shop's business had been handed over to the third demoness.
And she managed it all by herself...
"Tsk..." Li Muyang, having watched the excitement, shook his head.
Although curious about the dealings between Dan Taiming and the third demoness, he was not inclined to ask more given the wild pig demoness's poor attitude.
He planned to take advantage of the time before the game's resurrection to go out.

But just as Li Muyang was about to leave, the cold and aloof Third Young Miss barred his way at the door, looking icily at him: "Where are you going?"
Li Muyang gave her a glance, saying, "I'm going to Hidden Immortal Alliance to find someone... Why? Am I not allowed to leave this courtyard?"
The Third Young Miss remained detached: "Before our master left, he instructed me to guard you and not allow you to run around aimlessly. Who are you going to Hidden Immortal Alliance to find? I'll call them for you."
The initiative of the brusque boar demoness to offer help was somewhat surprising and amusing to Li Muyang.
"You?" Li Muyang pondered and then said, "Fine, go tell the Alliance Hierarch that in some time, a catastrophic disaster that will destroy everything will occur in the World Outside the Ark, and he should relocate all the mortals within a hundred li radius of the Ark."
"Right, and the cultivators on the Ark who don't wish to die should also be relocated."
"This place will soon become a wasteland, a land where life ceases to exist."
Li Muyang delivered such a ruthless prophecy.
Once he defeats the corpse of the Yellow Robed Immortal and engages in a great battle with the Yellow Robed Immortal's Primordial Spirit.
Regardless of the outcome, the entirety of the World Outside the Ark will be affected.
The immensely towering figure of the Yellow Robed Immortal now stood coldly between reality and illusion, even manifesting his presence in the real world.
Then, when Wu Ming from the game world challenges him, this terrifying phantom might just destroy everything on the Ark.
Li Muyang did not wish to witness mass destruction and meaningless casualties, thus he issued his warning in advance.
He felt that the cultivators of Hidden Immortal Alliance were not entirely unaware of the secrets of the Ark.
Otherwise, the moment the ancient prophecy emerged in this world, the reaction of Hidden Immortal Alliance would not have been so intense, nor would they have evacuated all mortals from the Ark so swiftly...
However, the preparations made by Hidden Immortal Alliance to face the crisis were still insufficient.
Li Muyang felt the need to remind them.
Upon hearing Li Muyang's ominous prophecy, the Third Young Miss furrowed her brows deeply.
She stared coldly at Li Muyang as if looking at a madman, or doubting whether Li Muyang was deliberately making a fool of her.
—To those unaware, Li Muyang indeed seemed to be making a fool of her.
But after a few seconds of silence, the female boar demon said nothing in opposition, and responded coolly, "Fine, I will pass on your message. Do not leave this place."
Having said that, the Third Young Miss turned and left to find the Alliance Hierarch.
Even though what Li Muyang asked her to convey seemed so fantastic and nonsensical, she did not question it.
This unexpectedly straightforward manner of passing the message did make Li Muyang reassess her.
"...This Third Young Miss, surprisingly single-minded."
She appeared to be quite a crafty and evil demon...
Now that someone was running errands to pass messages, Li Muyang was also happy to be able to relax.
He returned to his room, took a brief rest, and then reentered the game to face the corpse of the Yellow Robed Immortal.
This time, he lasted three minutes longer.
Accompanied by the death CG popping into his field of vision, Li Muyang who opened his eyes back in the room, rubbed his forehead and asked, "Is someone out there?"
While in the game, he heard some noise in the courtyard.
But since the person outside did not speak, he pretended not to know and continued to battle with the corpse of the Yellow Robed Immortal.
Having now finished the battle, he stood and went outside.
Only to see an old man with a stooped figure and white hair, leaning on a walking stick, waiting outside the door.
This elderly yet kindly man showed a gentle smile upon seeing Li Muyang come out.
"... Mr. Li, I offer my greetings," the old man said with a smile, bowing politely.
But the aura of a cultivator from the Heavenly Eternal Realm emanating from him, caused a shudder in Li Muyang's heart.
This old man before him was the Alliance Hierarch!
He had seen him from afar once before!
This old man actually came looking for him?
Li Muyang frowned and returned the greeting, saying, "May I know what guidance does the Alliance Hierarch offer by coming here..."
But he saw the old man continue to smile kindly, saying, "About that warning given by Mr. Li... After entering Futu Tower, did Mr. Li also venture into that perilous secret world?"
