The Game with Fairies
Chapter 399

As night fell over the Ancient Grudge Well, terrifying evil gods roamed the land.

Li Muyang, stepping into this dwelling place of evil gods for the first time with Granny Gu’s accompaniment, felt a sense of awe.

In his previous visits, his vision was filled with darkness, unable to see anything, only sensing the terrifying presence that appeared and disappeared intermittently.

However, this time, following Granny Gu into the ancestral temple, he found the darkness dissipating from his view.

Granny Gu used some method to disperse the black fog that shrouded the land, swiftly flying through the sky with Li Muyang.

The empty land unfolded in their view, with lush vegetation and undulating mountains between the forests.

Among the trees, wild beasts ran, insects buzzed, and birds called—a scene brimming with vitality.

Were it not for the terrifying evil gods wandering in the darkness, highlighting the horror of this place, Li Muyang might have thought he was still among the living.

Noticing that Li Muyang’s gaze was constantly on those wandering evil gods, Granny Gu cautioned him with a cold voice,

“Don’t look at them, be careful not to draw their attention.”

Granny Gu, stepping on the void, led Li Muyang through the Ancient Grudge Well, where evil gods were everywhere, with great swagger.

However, all the evil gods they encountered along the way seemed to turn a blind eye to her, as if they couldn’t see this ostentatious old witch.

Only when Li Muyang watched the evil gods did those terrifying figures seem to sense something and glance in his direction.

Hearing Granny Gu’s warning, Li Muyang’s heart chilled, and he immediately withdrew his gaze, daring not to stare at the evil gods roaming the land any longer.

Amidst the cold wind blowing from the high skies, Granny Gu said indifferently,

“This place is called the Ancient Grudge Well, originally a refuge secreted by our ancestors during the ancient times of chaos.”

“In the ancient dark ages, when evil spirits were everywhere, this small world protected our ancestors.”

“Afterward, when the evil spirits between heaven and earth were nearly exterminated, only those troublesome evil gods remained difficult to kill.”

“The ancestors then sealed the evil gods here and built the ancestral temple outside the Ancient Grudge Well, suppressing them with the power of generations of ancestors from the evil lineage, preventing the evil gods from breaking free from the seal.”

“Even though the evil lineage clan has declined, the ancestral temple still suppresses the evil gods.”

“The ancestral spirits sleeping in the temple also protect us.”

Finally, Granny Gu revealed the secrets of the evil lineage clan to Li Muyang.

Perhaps it was because she saw that Li Muyang’s life was soon to end, or maybe she admired Li Muyang’s determination to face death bravely.

In any case, this peculiar old lady showed some elder care for Li Muyang, a junior who was about to die.

She led Li Muyang, stepping on the void, swaggering through the Ancient Grudge Well.

Along the way, Li Muyang saw many evil gods from ancient times, but unlike the later generations a ten thousand years later, there were no humans in the Ancient Grudge Well now, aside from the evil gods.

Although there were wild beasts in the mountains and fish in the waters, no human towns or houses were to be seen.

The entire Ancient Grudge Well was completely an animal world without humans.

The evil gods also had no interest in these beasts.

Li Muyang and Granny Gu, stepping on the void, quickly flew over the land of the Ancient Grudge Well, eventually arriving at a lush grassland filled with flowers.

On the grassland full of blooming flowers, small rivers meandered like ribbons of jade.

Granny Gu led Li Muyang down into the sea of flowers, coming to a three-zhang-high mound.

The two climbed onto the platform, but there was nothing in sight—no ancestral spirits revealing their holiness.

Li Muyang looked around curiously, wondering what method Granny Gu would use to help him gain power.

However, once on the platform, Granny Gu immediately began the ritual.

She uttered a strange, low howl, sharp and piercing like an owl, which made Li Muyang’s hair stand on end.

With Granny Gu’s sharp and piercing howl, a chilling cold wind drifted over the grassland and sea of flowers.

Soon after, one after another, terrifying shadows of evil gods appeared in the sea of flowers.

They wandered with extreme indifference, their cold gazes fixed on the two people on the platform.

In Li Muyang’s field of vision, numerous densely packed dark blood bars appeared.

The terrifying shadows of the evil gods came en masse, each one causing him to feel frightened and horrified.

–What is Granny Gu doing!?

Why summon all the evil gods here?

The ones wandering in this Ancient Grudge Well are the actual bodies of the evil gods!

But the next second, as more and more evil gods wandered through the grassland and sea of flowers, golden specks of light gradually rose from the silent flower beds.

These golden specks were very small, like countless fireflies flying around.

They fluttered up and down in the sea of flowers, converging into a golden ocean.

Surrounded by these tiny golden lights, the evil gods stopped moving for a moment.

Seeing this scene, Granny Gu finally stopped the terrifying howl that summoned the evil gods.

She turned to Li Muyang and said, “Our evil lineage clan, in the ancient times, was able to slaughter evil spirits by enslaving them, using the power of evil spirits to kill evil spirits.”

“The power in our bloodline can even enslave beings of the evil god’s caliber.”

“Of course, the price is extremely high.”

“Every ancestor who enslaved an evil god would rapidly decline, die miserably, their soul disperse, and finally be devoured from the inside out by the evil god within them, dying a terrible death.”

“But since you have made up your mind, and your talent is also suitable, this old woman will lend you a helping hand.”

Saying this, Granny Gu tossed a dark purple crystal bottle to Li Muyang.

Inside the small purple crystal bottle was a viscous purple liquid, emitting an intimidating aura.

Granny Gu said, “With your talent, trying to enslave an evil god right off the bat, the chances of success are slim.”

“But drinking this bottle of evil god’s blood can enhance your soul’s power.”

“It will allow you to hold on for at least a few days.”

“Of course, exactly how many days you can hold on is unclear, but at least you’ll have a chance to break into their lairs and rescue your Xiao Yecao.”

Granny Gu looked at the light from the necklace on Li Muyang’s neck and said, “Kid, it’s not too late to regret it now…”

At the last moment, Granny Gu tried to persuade him once more.

But Li Muyang, standing on the platform in the sea of flowers, opened the crystal bottle with a smile on his face.

“No regrets.”

“Thank you, Granny.”

With that, Li Muyang raised the crystal bottle and drank it all in one gulp.

The spicy and icy blood of the evil god slid down his throat into his body, and Li Muyang’s entire body shook instantly, feeling as if he was on fire, extremely hot.

Even his vision changed.

His gaze swiftly swept through the evil gods, and he finally chose a colossal shadow of an evil god, ten thousand zhang tall.

“That one!”

Li Muyang leaped from the platform and charged towards the terrifying shadow of the ten-thousand-zhang-tall evil god.
