The Game with Fairies-Chapter 269 - Yan Xiaoru Sends a Message
Chapter 269: Yan Xiaoru Sends a Message
Under the gloomy sky, torrential rain continued.
The cold rain pattered against the land.
With the arrival of the rainy season, the water levels in the rivers of Tianjiao City rose, and the air became more humid.
In such heavy rain, the blood from fights in the streets and alleys would quickly be washed away.
But these had nothing to do with the ordinary people of the city.
Despite the ongoing secret killings, Tianjiao City was bustling and prosperous on the surface.
With the stabilization of the situation, the Blood Lotus Sect began to protect commercial trade, and Tianjiao City regained its former business prosperity.
Ships filled with goods entered the city’s port, and caravans from afar arrived loaded with merchandise.
As long as they could continue doing business, most ordinary people would return to Tianjiao City and resume their usual commercial activities.
The struggles of the cultivation world had nothing to do with them.
In such a bustling commercial city, the leader of the Blood Lotus Sect, Fang Yingtian, often preached in the streets, leading the city’s residents in prayer.
They leveled houses in the center of Tianjiao City to build a huge square.
Countless disciples of the Blood Lotus Sect came to the square to pray every day, and whenever the sky cleared, the leader of the Blood Lotus Sect would also come here to preach the doctrine and spread the faith.
The leader of the Blood Lotus Sect performed miracles on the square, not only resurrecting the dead but also healing diseases, expelling evil spirits, and even enlightening disciples...
These miracles greatly enhanced Fang Yingtian’s prestige, and more and more people chose to join the Blood Lotus Sect.
Tianjiao City had now completely fallen into the hands of the Blood Lotus Sect as countless citizens believed in the teachings of the Blood Lotus Sect and joined it.
Under the city’s fervent religious atmosphere, Shen Yan’s investigation of the perpetrators became increasingly strict.
Battles took place one after another in the veil of rain.
These cold and solemn fights were out of place with the city’s fervent atmosphere.
Shen Yan had already captured three Banner Master-level figures and obtained evidence of their crimes.
But this was just the beginning.
The three Banner Masters belonged to the Liehai Hall, Lianxin Hall, and Yubo Hall.
Two major sub-halls and one major incense hall were involved, with Liehai Hall Helmsman Xie Shanhai, Yubo Hall Helmsman Liu Churen, and Lianxin Hall Incense Master Liu Hucheng all in turmoil over the matter.
The day Shen Yan imprisoned the third Banner Master, the three Helmsmen even stormed into Shen Yan’s city lord’s mansion, roaring for the release of their people.
However, Shen Yan stood firm, and both sides parted on bad terms.
As the storm once again swept over Tianjiao City, Shen Yan stood under the eaves of the city lord’s mansion, quietly watching the rain outside, her expression melancholic lost in thought.
At that moment, hurried footsteps approached. Someone came with alarming news in a panic.
“Miss, it’s terrible! Helmsman Ruan Mei has been attacked and harmed!”
Hearing this news, Shen Yan was stunned, her face showing a look of astonishment.
In the dark prison, Li Muyang, who had successfully defeated the Vermilion Bird illusion and taken down the Vermilion Bird flag, was discussing the attack patterns of the White Tiger of the West with Shen Miao.
The White Tiger beast manifested by the western corner of the Four Symbols Formation was even more powerful than the previous two beasts.
As the formation was continuously broken, the remaining power would become increasingly terrifying, and the further they went, the more difficult it would be.
At that moment, Shen Miao suddenly startled and informed Li Muyang of the news her sister had heard in reality.
After hearing it, Li Muyang fell silent.
“...So it’s Ruan Mei who was attacked?”
He had thought that those rats would attack Shen Yan first. But he didn’t expect that they would go after Ruan Mei first.
They didn’t kill Ruan Mei but instead poisoned her with a potent toxin.
This toxin put Ruan Mei into a vegetative state, unaware and unresponsive, and it was uncertain how long it would take to remove the poison.
Given Ruan Mei’s high cultivation level, if she died once, it would cost at least a third of her lifespan...

Listening to the news from the outside world, Li Muyang shook his head.
“Madness, complete madness.”
Ruan Mei was Shen Yan’s right-hand woman and the strongest support in her investigation.
She was also a Helmsman of the Hall of Enforcement, representing the authority of the Blood Lotus Sect leader, Fang Yingtian.
Attacking Ruan Mei was, in some ways, more serious than attacking Shen Yan.
After all, Shen Yan was just a mortal, and the cost of resurrection was low.
She could die many times, but Ruan Mei is a precious high-level combatant of the Blood Lotus Sect!
“It seems I’ve underestimated the madness of these people,” Li Muyang lamented.
Attacking Ruan Mei is no different from slapping Fang Ying Tian in the face in public.
If Fang Ying Tian swallows this insult, then he can forget about consolidating power in the future.
But if he doesn’t swallow it, he’ll have to go to war with everyone in the Blood Lotus Sect who doesn’t submit to him...
“Tsk... there’s going to be a bloodbath soon.”
Li Muyang made such a judgment.
Shen Miao was completely confused: “What do you mean by ‘a bloodbath’?”
Li Muyang sighed and explained the situation to the young girl.
“With the Sect Leader Fang’s tactics and dominance, this time he’s completely at odds with the troublemakers.”
“Those guys dared to attack Ruan Mei, and they succeeded... then will they dare to attack the Sect Leader in the future?”
Ruan Mei is no pushover, yet she was still successfully attacked.
Fang Ying Tian, no matter what, could not ignore this matter any longer.
Indeed, when the news of Ruan Mei’s attack spread, Fang Ying Tian was furious.
Originally acting as a hands-off manager and leaving the investigation of the mastermind to Shen Yan and only preaching in the city, Fang Ying Tian personally ordered martial law in the city and sent his trusted aides to thoroughly investigate the matter.
Although they haven’t completely torn their faces and even Banner Master-level figures haven’t been mobilized, in the following days, the killings and struggles in the city continued unabated, with more and more Lotus Members dying tragically.
Hundreds more souls were added to the Four Directions Cauldron, all middle-level leaders of the Blood Lotus Sect.
In such turmoil, Li Muyang in the prison received an unexpected visitor.
–Cheng Feiyang, the Senior Brother he hadn’t seen for a long time.
Currently disguised, Senior Brother Cheng is now a jailer in the prison.
He stooped, appearing old and weathered, a warrior who had seen much of life.
But after the routine delivery of the daily meals, this old jailer spoke in a low voice.
“Muyang, Elder Yan has sent me to deliver a message to you...”
Hearing this familiar voice, Li Muyang was astonished.
He later learned that Yan Xiaoru had placed Cheng Feiyang in the prison on the day he was incarcerated.
It was only after Li Muyang was no longer in mortal danger that Cheng Feiyang continued to hide and did not reveal his identity.
Now, however, with the city in the midst of a fierce killing spree and intense struggle, Senior Brother Cheng, who had been undercover for many days, revealed his identity.
“Elder Yan says, with the fierce struggle in the city and the Blood Lotus Sect’s high ranks killing each other, you are the source of this turmoil.”
“In the chaos, it’s very likely that someone will vent their anger on you, taking the opportunity to come to the prison to take your life...”
Cheng Feiyang spoke softly, “Considering your safety, someone will disguise themselves as a Blood Lotus Sect disciple to break into the prison at midnight tomorrow. When that happens, don’t resist and follow them out.”
