I speedrunned the Fairy Strategy Game
Chapter 18 Twist: The Real Mastermind
The back courtyard of the Baili family.
Ma Zouri, along with Shouyin and a few others, took advantage of the night to quietly sneak into the courtyard where the disciples were resting.
Shouyin whispered.
"I don't mean to question Brother Yu, but since Patriarch Baili is being so polite, wouldn't it be a bit against our principles to do this?"
Ma Zouri pressed himself against the wall, quite agreeing with Li Muyu's approach.
"When on duty outside, it's always better to be safe than sorry."
The courtyard was silent, and the candles inside the house had long since gone out.
Shouyin suddenly frowned and sniffed.
"Brother Ma, can you smell blood?"
Ma Zouri placed his hand on the hilt of his sword, pointed to the room, and gestured for silence.
The two quietly approached the window and heard a soft, rustling sound, like the sound of gnawing.
Ma Zouri raised his hand and poked a hole in the window paper.
But the scene before him made him gasp for breath and forcefully suppress the urge to vomit.
Inside the dimly lit room, a group of disciples were gnawing on a corpse, with blood and flesh flying everywhere and organs spilling all over the floor.
Shouyin's eyes widened immediately. Ma Zouri quickly covered his mouth, gave him a look, and quietly left.
Inside the guest room.
Ji Yudie gazed at the figure on the bed, her delicate face slightly furrowed.
Why don't you go back to your room?
Li Muyu spoke in a flippant tone.
"There are hidden dangers when you're out and about. I'm just worried about the fairy's safety."
Upon hearing this, Ji Yudie's beautiful face showed no emotion whatsoever; she simply asked in return.
"Do you think I need someone from the Sixth Realm to protect me?"
Li Muyu was quick to adapt and immediately changed his tune.
"The seasonal fairy will protect me."
"Since you came along for this very purpose, I might as well stay within your sight and save you the trouble."
Ji Yudie did indeed have this plan, but hearing it from Li Muyu's mouth made her feel inexplicably awkward, so she simply closed her eyes, out of sight, out of mind.
Li Muyu lay on his side on the bed, gazing at that exquisite figure.
"Is Fairy Ji wearing the undergarment I gave you underneath?"
Upon hearing this, Ji Yudie seemed to remember something, and a blush crept onto her cool, jade-like cheeks, but she still pretended to be calm.
"I burned that disgusting thing long ago."
Li Muyu chuckled lightly, neither confirming nor denying.
After a moment of silence in the room, Ji Yudie suddenly spoke up.
"There's something wrong with the Baili family."
Li Muyu nodded.
"I know."
"Then why did you send them to investigate? Aren't you afraid of alerting the enemy?"
Li Muyu's smile was meaningful.
"We need to make them aware of this, otherwise what reason would they have to take action?"
There was a sudden knock on the door.
Ma Zouri and his group arrived in a great hurry.
"Brother Yu, you guessed right, there really is something wrong with the Baili family."
"I just went to look for Senior Brother Chen, but he wasn't in his room."
Ji Yudie looked at Li Muyu.
"What should we do? Leave first?"
Li Muyu stood up and looked out the window.
"No need, they're already here."
In the backyard.
Baili Xiao, along with dozens of disciples, surrounded the guest room.
"In the dead of night, what are you distinguished guests looking for instead of resting?"
The commotion attracted the other disciples of the Enforcement Hall, who were still in shock at the scene before them.
Li Muyu walked out of the room and smiled faintly.
"What is the purpose of Patriarch Baili's actions? Is he trying to lull someone to sleep in the guest room?"
Baili Xiao stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes slightly narrowed. The disciples around him were like wild beasts, their eyes bloodshot, their mouths wide open, and foul-smelling saliva dripping from their fangs.
"What's going on with them?"
Upon witnessing this horrifying scene, the female disciples shrank back, their delicate bodies trembling slightly.
Ma Zouri took the broadsword from his back, gripped it tightly with both hands, and stared intently at Baili Xiao.
"Practicing evil arts has resulted in your family's disciples becoming neither human nor ghost. Is this what you wanted?"
Baili Xiao smiled slightly and raised his hand.
"Leave no one alive!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the disciples around him, like frenzied wild beasts, faced the blades in everyone's hands without any fear and charged straight at them.
Ma Zouri brandished his broadsword with lightning speed, leading his disciples from the Enforcement Hall to meet them.
Although these monsters have lost their humanity and are incapable of feeling pain, their cultivation foundation is ultimately too weak, making them incomparable to disciples of orthodox immortal sects.
Li Muyu said, "After hiding for so long, is this all the tricks you've got?"
Baili Xiao's expression was slightly solemn, clearly underestimating the strength of the group, but he still did not show any panic.
"I did underestimate you, but that's enough."
"As long as you hold out until the Ancestor emerges from seclusion, none of you will escape."
Just then.
A figure that had not appeared for a long time slowly emerged from the shadows.
He casually tossed a scalding hot head at Baili Xiao's feet.
Are you waiting for him?
Baili Xiao stared at the withered face with its eyes wide open in anger, its eyes still open in death, his eyes filled with disbelief, and his voice trembled involuntarily.
"Ancestor! How...how could this be?"
Everyone turned to look at Chen Nanchao, their faces beaming with joy.
Unexpectedly, during the time he disappeared, he actually killed the patriarch of the Baili family.
Several female disciples were particularly excited, their eyes sparkling.
"As expected of Senior Brother Chen!"
Just as everyone was immersed in joy.
Li Muyu suddenly formed a hand seal, and the Thunderfire Sword flashed away, its sword energy rising in all directions.
But to everyone's surprise, its target was not Baili Xiao, but Chen Nanchao, the hero in everyone's eyes.
The black blade sliced across Chen Nanchao's neck, like a sharp blade grazing white paper, and blood gushed out immediately.
The incident happened suddenly, like a bolt from the blue.
Everyone stared blankly at the scene before them; this sword strike had taken everyone by surprise.
Even Ji Yudie was slightly taken aback, not expecting Li Muyu to suddenly make a move.
A female disciple's shout woke everyone up.
"Li Muyu, have you gone mad? How dare you attack Senior Brother Chen!"
Li Muyu looked calmly at Chen Nanchao and slowly spoke.
"You're the one who's truly practicing evil arts, aren't you?"
Several female disciples continued to scold them.
But then, the flesh and blood on Chen Nanchao's neck regenerated at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in the end, not even a scar was left, which was extremely strange.
Chen Nanchao sighed softly.
"Wouldn't it be better to pretend nothing's wrong? That way, they won't die because of you."
Everyone stared at the bizarre scene, and fell silent for a moment.
Although it was hard to believe, what I saw before my eyes was undeniable.
The female disciples who had rushed forward to fight Li Muyu were now staring blankly.
Chen Nanchao stroked his neck, which had fully recovered, his gaze turning sharp and bloodshot.
"That's right, all of this was my plan. Otherwise, how could the Baili family, with their power, have obtained the formula for the Blood Transformation Demon Pill?"
"I obtained this technique by chance, but the Southern Immortal Sect would not tolerate it, so I thought of the Baili family and asked them to refine the Blood Transformation Demon Pill for me."
Hearing Chen Nanchao reveal the truth, everyone looked on in disbelief.
The disciples of the Enforcement Hall, in particular, found it hard to accept that their revered Senior Brother Chen would do such a thing.
One of the female disciples, not yet completely giving up, walked up to Chen Nanchao and grabbed the hem of his clothes.
"Senior Brother Chen, you're joking, right?"
Chen Nanchao looked over, a slight smile appearing on his lips.
Upon seeing this, the female disciple's expression relaxed, and she was about to speak when she suddenly felt a void in her chest.
Looking down, he saw an arm piercing straight through his chest.
In the blink of an eye, he was drained into a withered, dried-up corpse and lay on the ground.
Chen Nanchao squinted at Li Muyu, his smile sinister and eerie.
"Now it's your turn!"
Baili Xiao, who was standing to the side, also snapped out of his grief and roared at the disciples of the Baili family.
"Kill them all!"
