The Game with Fairies-Chapter 344

The news from Aunt Su was indeed dreadful.

No wonder her face was so grave.

With the strength of Li Muyang and his companions, if they were truly caught by Old Man of Withered Leaves and other Qingyang Association demonic cultivators in the wilderness, their chances of survival were slim.

Ning Wan’er looked at Li Muyang and said, “Given the situation, I suggest we scatter and flee.”

“The demonic cultivators of Qingyang Association have not all caught up yet. They might be tracking us separately, searching for our traces.”

“Now that they have found the exact location of the flying boat, they will need time to regroup.”

“And this time they take to regroup is our last chance.”

Ning Wan’er took a deep breath and said with a serious face, “We should take this opportunity to escape separately. There might be a glimmer of hope.”

“Aunt Su can pilot the flying boat, pretending we are still on it, and continue to flee towards the sect’s gate, creating a false impression.”

“The rest of us will escape in different directions towards the nearest large city, trying to hide and wait for the sect’s reinforcements and protection.”

“Aunt Su has profound cultivation. Even if she is entangled by Old Man of Withered Leaves and the others, she should be able to fend them off and protect herself. Moreover, Old Man of Withered Leaves’s target is not Aunt Su, so they won’t engage in a prolonged battle.”

Ning Wan’er put forward a very viable suggestion.

The goal of Old Man of Withered Leaves and other demonic cultivators was to hunt down Li Muyang, seeking the successor of the ancient Corpse-Resolving Immortal.

Ning Wan’er’s family, and even Li Muyang’s family, were just innocent bystanders caught in the crossfire.

If everyone scattered and fled, the demonic cultivators would not be able to find their target immediately and would have to split their forces to search.

In the vast wilderness, the group of Qingyang Association demonic cultivators would inevitably take more time to pursue.

Those who scattered might be able to hold out until the sect’s reinforcements arrived.

But just as Ning Wan’er finished speaking, Aunt Su frowned and shook her head, expressing a different opinion.

“Scattering to flee might lead to complete annihilation.”

“If you stay with me on this flying boat, relying on the boat’s defenses, even if we are caught up by the Qingyang Association demonic cultivators, we can resist for a long time.”

“But if you scatter and flee, with your levels of cultivation, being alone in the wilderness, you would have no chance against the Qingyang Association demonic cultivators.”

Aunt Su shook her head and said, “Old Man of Withered Leaves and his group of Qingyang Association demonic cultivators have sinister methods.”

“Since they have come knocking, they will not easily let go of Muyang and you. Perhaps they have some sort of tracking technique that allowed them to catch up so quickly, not being fooled by the false information in Jiuyuan City.”

“Scattering to flee is like seeking your own death.”

Aunt Su disagreed with the idea of everyone scattering to flee.

She was sent by Yan Xiaoru to protect the two direct disciples.

For her, neither Ning Wan’er nor Li Muyang could be easily abandoned.

Ning Wan’er’s idea of scattering to flee might maximize the chances of survival for others, but it was extremely dangerous for Li Muyang.

–What if the Qingyang Association could track Li Muyang’s location?

Wouldn’t Li Muyang be seeking his own death by leaving the flying boat alone?

This was the source of the dispute between Aunt Su and Ning Wan’er.

After understanding the situation, Li Muyang pondered for a moment and then said,

“I agree with Wan’er’s idea. We should scatter and flee.”

“The Qingyang Association is after me. There’s no need to drag everyone down.”

Li Muyang said, “Aunt Su and I will stay on the flying boat to lure the enemy, buying time for everyone else to create an opportunity to escape.”

“If those demonic cultivators catch up, seeing me on the flying boat, they won’t disperse their efforts to hunt you down.”

“And Wan’er, you and Yuechan take the chance to escape, each taking families and leaving for the nearest large city to hide, waiting for the sect’s reinforcements.”

Faced with a life-and-death crisis, Li Muyang remained calm, easily placing himself in danger.

His choice to stay on the flying boat to lure the enemy clearly showed his willingness to risk his own life to create an escape opportunity for the others.

This left everyone at a loss.

Ning Wan’er, who had initially suggested the idea with her own ulterior motives, now looked at Li Muyang in astonishment.

Her shocked gaze seemed as if she was seeing Li Muyang for the first time.

Li Yuechan, who had been silent all along, instinctively spoke out against it with a vehement attitude, “No! That’s too dangerous! If you’re staying, then we’ll stay together as siblings!”

Li Yuechan, agitated, grabbed Li Muyang’s hand and said, “I can’t leave my brother on the flying boat as bait!”

Aunt Su looked at Li Muyang in surprise and said, “Muyang, what are you…”

She didn’t understand Li Muyang’s behavior.

Letting everyone leave while he stayed behind was like seeking death.

If the Qingyang Association caught up, she, being a Divine Travel Realm cultivator, would most likely be able to escape unscathed.

But Li Muyang, a mere Golden Core realm cultivator, would surely die in such a deadly situation…

The direct disciple that the miss highly valued was actually a person willing to sacrifice himself for others?

How could such a person have survived until today in a demonic path where the strong prey on the weak?

Aunt Su narrowed her eyes and took a deep look at Li Muyang, then fell silent.

She didn’t believe that the person the miss valued could be a naive fool.

Facing his little sister Li Yuechan’s emotional outburst, Li Muyang simply shook his head and said to Yuechan,

“Why stay? To add to the chaos?”

“You, as an inner disciple with the lowest cultivation in the entire place, should not stay here and cause trouble.”

“I will stay on the flying boat with Aunt Su, relying on the flying boat’s defenses. We might not necessarily die.”

The Startling Swan Immortal Sword secretly kept by Li Muyang is his greatest reliance.

However, the fewer people who know about the existence of the Startling Swan Immortal Sword, the better.

In a truly life-threatening situation, he could completely take out the Startling Swan Immortal Sword and give it to Aunt Su to use.

With Aunt Su, who is at the Divine Travel Realm, wielding the Startling Swan Immortal Sword, an ancient immortal weapon, she would be more than capable of wiping out all demonic cultivators below the Purple Mansion realm.

For him, staying by Aunt Su’s side increases his chances of survival.

He has a trump card that should not be revealed unless absolutely necessary, but once revealed, it could turn the tide of battle.

Yet he remained calm, while the expressions of the few who heard his words varied.

Especially Li Yuechan, who had been silent throughout, found it impossible to calm her agitated emotions.

She was determined to stay and live or die with her brother, refusing to leave.

The intense argument between the siblings made Ning Wan’er, who originally wanted to flee with her parents, suddenly feel awkward standing by.

Although doing things like this is a basic quality in the path of demonic cultivation…

The deep affection between the siblings made her seem cold and heartless.

If you’re not a bit selfish, you’d be embarrassed to mix in the demonic paths.

Yet, under such circumstances, Ning Wan’er inevitably felt uncomfortable.

She saw her true self under the moonlight when she first entered the Demon Refining Sect.

She was a bad woman who would stop at nothing to climb higher, yet she cherished her reputation and did not want to dirty her hands, looking down on those cold and heartless ones in the demonic paths, blinded by their interests.

She was greedier than those blinded by desire, wanting both benefits and a good reputation, extremely greedy.

She thought that she could have it all by stepping into the Inner Sect and becoming a direct disciple of an elder.

But now, faced with a crisis and seeing the deep bond between the siblings, Ning Wan’er bitterly realized that she had to give up something. frёeωebɳovel.com
