The fairies I flirted with in the game became real?!-Chapter 837: I am Wu Ming
The new Immortal Artifact Master is someone worth recruiting.
If this newcomer can be brought to our side and kept away from the schemes of the other veterans in the group, Li Muyang will be much safer.
As expected, Heart Moon Fox is indeed naive, carelessly revealing her location without any vigilance.
[Heart Moon Fox: Senior, I’m at Qingsong Temple. Are you coming to find me?]
[Heart Moon Fox: Senior, how far are you from Qingsong Temple? I need help now. Can you get here before dawn?]
Heart Moon Fox embodies the standard mindset of cultivators on the Tianyuan Continent—almost entirely trusting toward fellow cultivators.
After all, with True Man of Green Leaves reigning supreme for a thousand years across Tianyuan Continent, the cultivation world has long been unified. The few cultivation sects remaining have few members, generally aloof and free from disputes. Everyone is seen as a "good person."
If this were a cultivator from a neighboring cultivation realm, they would never recklessly expose their location like this.
Li Muyang focused his senses to respond. Qingsong Temple... it’s not far from him.
[Cang Su San: What a coincidence, I’m approximately an hour’s journey from Qingsong Temple. I’ll come meet you immediately.]
[Cang Su San: Wait for me outside the temple. I’ll be riding a massive mythical mount—a Green Saber Mantis. Don’t be alarmed when we meet.]
Li Muyang preemptively explained the situation, so the cultivators at Qingsong Temple wouldn’t be frightened by the Green Saber Mantis.
Qingsong Temple, a cultivation sect on the Tianyuan Continent, doesn’t have many members, but their cultivation levels are quite strong.
Li Muyang’s statement surprised Heart Moon Fox.
[Heart Moon Fox: Huh? A mythical mantis? Senior, you ride a mythical beast? That’s amazing!]
[Heart Moon Fox: True Man of Green Leaves swept away the world’s demons and evils a millennium ago. How did you get your hands on a mythical beast mount? That’s incredible!]
Heart Moon Fox was deeply envious of Li Muyang’s mythical beast mount.
Li Muyang was just about to speak when the chat group’s icons lit up suddenly.
Clearly, the chat group had erupted, and the other Immortal Artifact Masters had sensed something unusual.
—If it were just Cang Su San ranting alone, it couldn’t possibly generate so much activity so quickly.
In the blink of an eye, all the avatars in the chat list lit up simultaneously.
Everyone started chiming in.
[Wei Suyi: Hmm? A newcomer? Heart Moon Fox? The Three Immortals Tower has a new owner?]
[Ghost Mansion Seven: Heart Moon Fox, what are you talking about with Cang Su San?]
[Dou Sujiu: You actually revealed your location to Cang Su San... It’s over! He happens to be on your continent!]
[Wei Suyi: Heart Moon Fox! Run now! Leave Qingsong Temple immediately. Don’t let Cang Su San find you.]
[Wei Suyi: Cang Su San is not like us. He’s an Ascendant and the ancient prophecy’s Great Demon. If he finds you, you’re as good as dead!]
The Immortal Artifact Masters were all alarmed, urging Heart Moon Fox, the newcomer, to escape quickly.
Even Jing Muan, who generally leaned towards Li Muyang, joined Qing Hui in advising Heart Moon Fox to flee and not stay in her current location.
[Jing Muan: Heart Moon Fox! Run! Cang Su San’s motives are unclear. You cannot allow him to find you!]
The previously silent chat group suddenly buzzed with activity.
In an instant, all the Immortal Artifact Masters came online, earnestly advising Heart Moon Fox and explaining the situation to her.
Soon, Wei Suyi and the others outlined the current state of the world—the hostility between Ascendants and Immortal Artifact Masters, and the threat posed by Li Muyang as an Ascendant. All of this was revealed in their words.
Yet, sitting atop the Green Saber Mantis, Li Muyang didn’t offer a single word of defense. He merely watched quietly as the others spoke.
Once everyone had said their piece, a flood of information overwhelmed the simple-minded Heart Moon Fox.
Having spent her entire life quietly cultivating on the Tianyuan Continent, she likely hadn’t even ventured to the mortal world below the mountains a handful of times, let alone grasped the intricate and perilous dynamics of the heavens and earth.
Upon hearing the group’s depiction of Li Muyang as such a terrifying figure, Heart Moon Fox grew visibly panicked.
Nonetheless, she still asked hesitantly in the group.
[Heart Moon Fox: Cang Su San, are you… truly as scary as they say?]
This question instantly rendered the group silent.
The Immortal Artifact Masters in the chat were stunned.
Clearly, no one had expected this new Heart Moon Fox to be so straightforward.
—Who directly questions the person involved like this?!
Does such a blunt inquiry even yield results?
Seeing Heart Moon Fox’s panicked yet fearful question in the group, Li Muyang couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
This newcomer was even more naive than he had imagined.
Childishly naive, and strangely endearing.
Perhaps only an environment like the Tianyuan Continent could produce such pure-hearted cultivators.
[Cang Su San: What they said is mostly true, but I need to clarify—I’m not a bad person. I’ve come to find you because I want to help you, not harm you.]
[Cang Su San: You’ll understand this when we meet.]
Li Muyang’s statement prompted Ghost Mansion Seven, Xie Liuyun, to make an evaluation.
[Ghost Mansion Seven: Indeed, this guy has a remarkably handsome face. Any girl who sees him would feel her heart stir. When he was with us, he charmed the sect elder while his cultivation was still low, and later even convinced a prominent heavenly maiden to abandon everything and elope with him—a true slayer of fairies!]
[Ghost Mansion Seven: Heart Moon Fox, if you see him, I fear your heart will waver and you’ll be completely captivated, hahaha.]
[Dou Sujiu: Run! Only running can ensure your safety! Don’t place yourself in danger.]
The Immortal Artifact Masters continued to urge Heart Moon Fox, who remained silent for some time, seemingly wavering.
Seeing this, Li Muyang decided to play his trump card.
[Cang Su San: They don’t know my other identity, but you should, Heart Moon Fox.]
[Cang Su San: I am Wu Ming. Do you think I could be a bad person?]
Through countless brushes with death, Li Muyang had already built up the reputation of Wu Ming to a level of reverence across the Tianyuan Continent.
Sure enough, after hearing this, the once-silent Heart Moon Fox grew visibly excited.
[Heart Moon Fox: You’re Wu Ming? Immortal Wu Ming?]
[Heart Moon Fox: The Immortal who faced the Evil God in the Ancient Resentment Well, defeated Emperor Lu outside the imperial capital, suppressed Martial Trust King Lu Chen, and prevented a world-ending disaster?]
[Heart Moon Fox: So you’re an Ascendant? Is that why you’re so mysterious and powerful?]
Heart Moon Fox’s excitement and delight were evident.
Li Muyang chuckled softly, glanced at the other avatars in the chat group, and replied.
[Cang Su San: That’s correct—it’s me.]
[Cang Su San: That’s why I said, once you meet me, you’ll understand I’m not a bad person.]
[Cang Su San: If you still don’t trust me, you can head south immediately. I’m currently heading south myself, on my way to visit Liu Li Fairy at the Mysterious Sword Sect.]
[Cang Su San: Once you meet me in front of Liu Li Fairy, you’ll know my true identity.]
The chat’s other Immortal Artifact Masters were unaware of the significance of the "Wu Ming" alias on the Tianyuan Continent.
It could be said that as soon as Li Muyang unveiled the "Wu Ming" mantle, even the most ambitious rebel leaders across the realm would humbly invite Li Muyang to sit in the main hall as their honored guest.
