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

Chapter 554: Chapter 554: Abnormal Torrential Rain

"...Brother, there is no Lu family in Jiezhou City!"

"And there's certainly no so-called 'Miss Lu!'"

In the midst of howling winds and pouring rain within Jiezhou City, siblings Li Muyang and his sister stood atop a tavern, looking down upon the storm-lashed city.

It was a city neither particularly large nor small, yet it was more imposing than the home city of Jiuyuan where Li Muyang and his sister came from.

Had it not been for the fierce storm that had swept in, the streets below would have been bustling and lively.

But now the townspeople had all taken refuge within their courtyards, avoiding the wind and rain pounding outside.

The empty streets in the storm appeared somber and desolate.

The news brought back by Yu Chan added a hint of eeriness to the air.

Li Muyang's brow furrowed slightly.

"...No Lu family?!"

He twirled the ring on his finger, repeating his sister's words in mutter, a flicker of surprise in his eyes.

This ring was solemnly given to him by Guan Xiaoshun when they set off.

It was said to be a token of affection given to him by Miss Lu, and that once she saw this ring, she would trust Li Muyang and his sister.

But now, having brought the ring to Jiezhou City, he found no Miss Lu.

Even his sister, who had searched the city, had confirmed that there was not a single prominent family with the surname Lu!

The icy wind and rain beat against the tavern's windows, making strange creaking noises.

Li Yuechan's smile had faded, and she spoke with a grave expression.

"In Jiezhou City, there are three major families, surnamed Tang, Yu, and Ji."

"There is not a single prominent family named Lu, not to mention, among the slightly powerful people in Jiezhou City, there is not a single household with the surname Lu."

The news Yu Chan brought felt almost chilling in this storm.

The ring Li Muyang twirled in his hand seemed to emit a cold light in the chilly air.

"...Did Xiaoshun deceive us?" Li Muyang frowned at the ring in his hand, puzzled, "Why?"

The wind and rain outside the window let out a ghastly, terrifying wail at this moment.

Li Yuechan spoke with a heavy tone, "He might have been bought off, deliberately luring us siblings out of our sect!"

"Elder Tianxin may have been defeated, but there are still those who covet you, brother."

"It could be that these people bought off Xiaoshun…"

Li Yuechan's eyes swept around alertly, guarding against any possible attacks.

In this moment, Jiezhou City seemed rather dreadful through the eyes of the siblings.

But amid the storm, there was only the raging wind.

This desolate and empty Jiezhou City amidst the downpour revealed no hidden enemies.

Li Muyang watched the downpour outside the window, slowly shaking his head, "It shouldn't be so."

"If someone really had bought off Xiaoshun, wanting to plot against me, then they should have pretended to be that non-existent Miss Lu to approach me and launch a surprise attack when we met."

"In that situation, without any guard up, I would be the easiest to overcome."

"Rather than like now, leaving an empty city to confuse me, allowing me to notice the anomaly and become cautious…"

Li Muyang pondered while spinning the ring in his hand.

His eyebrows were tightly knit as he contemplated the significance behind Guan Xiaoshun's actions.

Why would a good friend play such a big joke on him, deceiving him to come all the way to Jiezhou City?

Li Yuechan hesitated slightly after hearing this.

"Then why would Xiaoshun deceive us? What is the point of bringing us to this Jiezhou City?"

She couldn't understand.

This was not a mere prank, and Guan Xiaoshun was not one to play such jokes.

Li Muyang, who had been spinning the ring by the window, shook his head, put away the ring, and stood up.

"If you don't understand, then go back and ask him."

"This kid, he inexplicably set us up, we have to find him for an explanation."

Li Muyang glanced outside at the weather and said, "If we return immediately, we can still make it back to the sect for breakfast before tomorrow morning."

He had said these words at the sect yesterday as well.

In the end, he borrowed Yan Xiaoru's private small flying boat.

This high-grade magic artifact, a privilege reserved for elders, was incredibly fast.

Since it was an urgent journey, Li Muyang, of course, had to use all available resources.

He was afraid of arriving too late and missing his good brother's beloved's engagement to another.

For this, he had privately borrowed the flying boat from Yan Xiaoru.

But he had not expected that, after going to such lengths to come here, traveling thousands of miles to Jiezhou City, they would encounter such a scene.

There was no Miss Lu in the city; Guan Xiaoshun, the man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, had actually deceived them!

A shadow of unease rose in Li Muyang's heart.

He began to suspect something.

When initially evading Qing Yang's pursuit and passing through Guan Xiaoshun's hometown deep in the mountains, he had sensed a mysterious cultivator hiding there, who was Zi Weiheng in the chat group.

Although Zi Weiheng later disappeared without a trace,

it was certain that Guan Xiaoshun had some connection with this mysterious senior.

Now, at the critical moment when Zi Weiheng might attack the Refinement Demon Sect at any time, Guan Xiaoshun had suddenly lured the Li siblings out of the Refinement Demon Sect and into this distant Jiezhou City...

"Could it be that Zi Weiheng is about to come? Does Xiaoshun want us to avoid the disaster by tricking us away from the sect?"

In the cabin of the flying boat, Li Muyang murmured to himself with such speculation.

This hypothesis was the most consistent with the current situation.

Indeed, being away from the Refinement Demon Sect would allow them to avoid the calamity of Zi Weiheng annihilating the sect.

But Yan Xiaoru was still inside the Refinement Demon Sect!

How could Li Muyang just watch as Yan Xiaoru got trapped inside the demonic sect?

Moreover, if Zi Weiheng were to attack the Refinement Demon Sect, the ensuing chaos would be a perfect opportunity to snatch the Divine Spirit Heart.

Such an opportunity was rare in a millennium.

Li Muyang absolutely could not miss it.

Yan Xiaoru had little life span left; Li Muyang had to seize every opportunity to try to extend her life.

Inside the cabin, Li Muyang was solemn.

After pondering for a while, he finally opened the system and entered the game.

The biggest concern at the moment was not knowing the exact time when Zi Weiheng would attack.

He hoped he could make it in time...

In the sky, howling with a torrential downpour, the flying boat radiated a faint purple glow, as delicate as purple jade, dashing swiftly across as a purple light streaking the sky.

Li Yuechan stood on the deck, gazing into the distant gloomy sky, feeling the torrential rain between heaven and earth, her brows tightly knitted.

"...This rain, there's something off about it."

Li Yuechan murmured to herself, faintly sensing an ominous scent in the rainstorm.

This sudden torrential rain was too wide in scope and too strange.

They had already flown far from Jiezhou City but were still enveloped in the downpour.

Common rainstorms couldn't possibly cover such an extensive range!

By the girl's ear, at that moment, sounded the voice of a mysterious woman.

"This rain is indeed out of the ordinary."

The well-informed Ancient Corpse Disentangle Immortal, acknowledging her disciple's insight, sensed the damp moisture in the air and spoke softly.

"...This is the work of flood dragons manipulating the clouds to make rain, and there is more than one!"
