Chapter 487: He's Not Worth It
Li Muyang furrowed his brow, guessing the Emperor's schemes.
The control over monsters and even the power to transform living people into monsters seemed intricately linked to the ancient sinister veins and the Temple-Sealing Lord.
Nowadays, the Emperor was either killing or imprisoning the royal family members with the surname Lu, and his own sister was confined deep within the palace; he even wanted to kill his non-threatening illegitimate niece...
It felt like the annihilation of the family of Nie Ming, the River Governor, was due to the connection with this little girl here.
Did the Emperor intend to maintain the uniqueness of his own evil lineage?
Li Muyang, pondering, continued running toward the direction of the imperial palace with the little girl.
They followed the path they had come by, continuing to use the Earth Escape Talisman, heading back to the Capital City.
Now within Heiyuan Pass, demonic energy soared to the skies.
A thick, black demonic cloud enveloped the heavens, casting a gloomy shadow over the earth, and everything was coated with a dim gray luster.
Li Muyang looked toward the direction of Capital City, faintly sensing the terrible turmoil that had occurred there.
Many powerful beings were battling within the Capital City.
Just as he was about to continue the journey, he suddenly heard his sister's voice by his ear.
"Brother! We've arrived at Fairy Watching Valley!"
Yu Chan's voice rang out from outside the door, as cheerfully jumpy as ever, "Elder Yan asked me to call you, it's time for us to disembark and go by foot."
Flying was prohibited within Fairy Watching Valley, and the curse that Yan Xiaoru had suffered from flying there previously had still not been completely removed.
Now back within the bounds of Fairy Watching Valley, everyone had to leave the Flying Boat and travel through Fairy Watching Valley on foot.
And this route was also demanded by Li Muyang.
He wanted to return to the small city where he had fought a great battle with the Blood Lotus Sect, searching for traces of the Ancestral Master Ink Fairy's retreat.
The Blood Lotus Sect had laid low for a long time, with all its remaining forces hiding in that small city, where the retreat might be located nearby.
Hearing his sister's voice, Li Muyang gently exhaled a murky breath.
He clicked save, then closed the game and opened his eyes.
"Let's go."
After getting up and leaving the cabin, Li Muyang and his sister waiting outside walked side by side toward the outside.
Yu Chan was as cheerful and lively as usual, happily sharing the interesting news she just heard with Li Muyang.
Li Muyang laughed lightly in response and, accompanying her, stepped onto the deck to see the stretch of mountains unfolding in the view.
The terrain of Fairy Watching Valley was incredibly unique, with sprawling ranges embracing a vast plain from left and right.
Especially since Fairy Watching Valley was enveloped in spiritual energy and beautiful scenery, it was a prime location for cultivators to contemplate and understand the Dao.
Therefore, although flying was not permitted here, it attracted many cultivators.
Not only were there several marketplaces for cultivators in the valley, it was rumored that powerful Loose Cultivators were also in seclusion within the valley.
Moreover, the proximity to Hehuan Sect only added to the prosperity of this area.
As Li Muyang and his party's Flying Boat docked at the valley's external Flying Boat dock, they could see other Flying Boats also docking in this area.
Standing on the deck and gazing at the distant mountains stretching far away, Li Muyang took a light breath.
"Back to Fairy Watching Valley again..."
Considering the time, Shen Yan should also be nearing the seaside by now.

This young lady from the Blood Lotus Sect was actually leading her followers to cross the sea and head for Tianyuan Continent...
Gazing in the direction of the Misty Sea, Li Muyang sighed deeply.
Hope everything goes smoothly for them...
...
The setting sun to the west cast a myriad of red light across the earth.
On the shore of the vast foggy sea, a huge tower ship was docked at the coast.
The massive ship's sails displayed the glaringly bright Blood Lotus.
Such a colossal ship was astonishing and attracted the curiosity of many people on the shore.
People crowded the beach, pointing at the giant ship.
At that moment, a huge giant shadow suddenly appeared in the distance.
It was dragging cold chains, stepping towards this place.
Along the way, mortals panicked, cultivators retreated, and no one dared to approach this terrifying shadow.
Under the gaze of countless people, the vast giant shadow reached the beach.
It walked towards the giant ship moored at sea. Soon the vast giant shadow dissipated, and a woman's figure emerged from the transparent giant's body, casually landing on the deck of the ship.
Standing on the deck of the enormous ship, Shen Yan looked back one last time at the long coastline behind her and the figures of mortals who crowded the shore from afar, sighing softly.
"...Set sail," she said.
Shen Yan spoke calmly, issuing the command.
The massive ship immediately emitted a dull roaring sound.
A huge demon beast roared and began to thrash its body ahead of the ship in the mist.
Several huge cold chains were coiled around the neck of the demon beast.
The demon beast thus dragged the giant ship behind it, swimming towards the depths of the Misty Sea.
Vast white fog streamed in threads and tendrils.
Quickly engulfing the people on the ship, their vision gradually blurred, and soon, they could no longer see the coastline behind them.
This departure was a permanent goodbye.
They might never return to this homeland in their lifetime.
But the disciples of the Blood Lotus Sect on the ship were not disheartened or despondent; instead, they had resolute and excited expressions.
They looked forward to crossing the Misty Sea and reaching the heavenly realm on the other side of the ocean.
Shen Yan looked at the firm gaze of her followers, then turned around to enter the cabin.
However, at that moment, two figures appeared in front of her, hesitating to speak.
Bu Hongsheng and Liu Fu... two young men from the Blood Lotus Sect who had once followed Li Muyang, now seemed hesitant.
Shen Yan glanced at them and said, "He didn't want to come along."
Without much consolation, Shen Yan simply stated the fact coldly.
"The passionate young man in Tianjiao City might have been genuine or perhaps it was his pretense."
"But whether he was acting on the spur of the moment or from his heart, it doesn't matter now."
"He is now a disciple of the Refinement Demon Sect, a distinguished young figure among the Demon Sect."
"He does not wish to join us, nor does he believe in the teachings of the Blood Lotus Sect. He has truly become a stranger to us."
After she finished speaking, the two young men had not yet reacted, but she was already feeling somewhat impatient.
Aboard the ship's deck, the atmosphere fell into a strange silence.
The two young men were drooping their heads in disappointment, not speaking, as if this outcome had not exceeded their expectations.
But guessing is one thing, facing the actual bad news is another.
The person they had once trusted and revered was really deceiving them all along...
Seeing the anguished expressions of the two young men, Shen Yan could not help but sigh.
"No need to think about him anymore."
She patted the shoulders of the two young men and said, "We are heading to the heavenly realm across the Misty Sea, a place far from the poison of cultivators, a place worth our protection."
"As for Li Muyang..."
She looked back towards the direction of the continent once more, then shook her head coldly: "From now on, he and we are people of two different worlds."
"From now onwards, there will be no more interaction."
"We need not mourn the betrayal of a stranger."
Having said that, Shen Yan paused, finally adding calmly.
"...He is not worth it."
