Chapter 656 - 211: I didn’t expect to see Brother Wang’s illusion before I die
In the game, that’s called a backpack, Wang Mu thought.
In the game’s storyline, up to this point, surviving the girl’s blade and returning to the Foreign King’s side meant that finding those relics would constitute success. The real difficulty lay ahead. These relics were not simple; they were sealed. Through the eyes of the Foreign Clan, they appeared to be just normal human items. But in fact, these relics hid Evil Artifacts composed of the bones of the Foreign Clan. The moment the girl touched them, she would be affected, and her strength would be greatly reduced.
Indeed, these relics were not entirely genuine. The protagonist could only secretly obtain them as part of the Foreign King’s schemes. Frankly speaking, the Foreign King had never trusted the protagonist, always treating him as a pawn. It was only in the game that the protagonist believed he had gained trust. As a player, after failing a few times, one naturally figured it out.
The solution was actually quite simple: just take out those Evil Artifacts. But there was a problem. These Evil Artifacts were very special. Once a member of the Foreign Clan touched these Evil Artifacts, they would temporarily become an extremely powerful Dark Alien Race, only to be killed by the girl. Drained of energy, she would ultimately be killed by the Foreign King, who had been watching secretly, ready to swoop in and claim victory.
However, if the protagonist didn’t remove the Evil Artifacts and gave the relics directly to the girl, it would lead to disaster for her. It was crucial to understand that at this moment, the protagonist, having become a member of the Foreign Clan, could not communicate with the girl. In the darkness, there was also no other way to convey messages. Once the girl touched the tainted relics, her strength would greatly diminish, and then she too would be killed by the Foreign King. This was the outcome discovered after many playthroughs; naturally, it wasn’t something one could figure out in just one or two attempts.
[Wang Mu: "After picking up the relics, the young man sprinted towards the girl’s position. However, en route, he suddenly remembered how the world, objects, and even the girl appeared different after he became a member of the Foreign Clan... So, why did these relics still look like normal human items?"]
[Wang Mu: "The more the young man thought about it, the more things felt wrong. He stopped and observed carefully, finally realizing that some of these relics looked quite abnormal; they weren’t entirely human relics. They were mixed with certain Evil Artifacts of the Foreign Clan, which could boost a Foreign Clan member’s strength for a short time. If the girl touched them, she would lose some of her power, and the Foreign King would surely seize the opportunity!"]
[Wang Mu: "But if I touch these Evil Artifacts myself, I’ll immediately become a Dark Alien Race. I fear I might not be able to return once I reach the girl."]
[Moon God: "Oh, oh, what should he do then?"]
The playful Moon God was quite thrilled at this moment. She lay beside the Immortal Root Tree in the Moon Palace, her feet, bathed in moonlight, swinging back and forth.
[Wang Mu: "The young man took out several of the Evil Artifacts from the relics. A bizarre power continuously invaded his body... But regardless, he charged toward the girl’s location. During the charge, his body kept growing larger and mutating, until he transformed into a massive Dark Alien Race."]
[Moon God: "Here it comes! Hurry, what happened next?"]
[Wang Mu: "The girl stepped out. Seeing this huge Dark Alien Race emitting a bizarre roar, she vaguely sensed something familiar. But the transformation was so great that she couldn’t be sure, especially at that moment when the danger was extremely high. Without thinking, she slashed with her ancient longsword, brimming with Evil Qi!"]
[Wang Mu: "The imposing Evil Qi of her blade flared. Within moments, the girl had slain the massive Dark Alien Race. The sword pierced through its heart, and the Dark Alien Race knelt on the ground. The girl, catching her breath slightly, felt a strange unease in her heart. This Dark Alien Race, with such a powerful aura, had hardly resisted at all. She had killed it without much effort—it was truly peculiar..."]
[Moon God: "It died just like that? What happened next?"]
In the Moon Palace, the Moon God, who had been lying on the Divine Mysterious Immortal Root, stood up and began to fly back and forth.
[Wang Mu: "At the same time, CLINK, CLANK! As the sword pierced its heart, several items suddenly fell from the massive Dark Alien Race’s body, falling to the ground with a crisp sound. The girl heard it, looked, and froze. Those were her parents’ relics..."]
[Moon God: "What happens next?"]
[Wang Mu: "That’s all for today."]
[Moon God: "..."]
[Moon God: "So, the real motive is clear now, isn’t it? That young man did so much, only to play the hero saving the damsel in distress, sacrificing his life for a woman he hadn’t known for long—how naive and ridiculous!"]
[Wang Mu: "Then may I ask, Fairy of the Upper Realm, has anyone ever sacrificed their life for you?"]
[Moon God: "..."]
Critical hit.
「Moon Palace.」
The Moon God, standing on the treetop, felt veins pop on her snow-white forehead. She inexplicably felt a sense of humiliation from a Cultivator of the Lower Realm.
Thinking back over these past few decades, it seems... I’ve never encountered such a person...
[Moon God: "What happens next?"]
[Wang Mu: "Immortal, please adhere to our agreement. Shouldn’t you tell me about the issue with my Emotional Threads now?"]
[Moon God: "Anxious, are you? Very well. Those Emotional Threads of yours that are slipping look as if they’re about to snap, which suggests some danger... Judging by the proximity, the danger is very close to you right now. As for anything else, I don’t know."]
Wang Mu was taken aback. Very close? I’m currently on my way to Fengyue Sect. The only one I have a Romantic Destiny with is Mu Hongyuan. Is she in danger? Isn’t she in closed-door cultivation? How could she be in danger? Could it be the Emotion Poison?
Wang Mu took a deep breath, shut off both Divine Light Mirrors, and sped towards Fengyue Sect.
「Moon Palace.」
"This Little Cultivator..." the Moon God mused, looking at the dimmed signal. She knew he had disconnected and couldn’t help but shake her head slightly.
At that moment, another signal lit up on the Divine Light Mirror.
