The fairies I flirted with in the game became real?!-Chapter 431 Great Escape in the Tree Realm
When he saw the massive tree emitting golden light appear, Lord Shanyang was instantly thrilled.
He even dismissed the dire warnings of the Bodhi Reverend.
"In there! The spirit and true form of this old tree demon reside in there!"
"Dragon Goddess, let us join forces and charge in to kill this old tree demon!"
At that moment, Lord Shanyang's eyes were solely fixed on the golden tree behind the portal, filled with extreme excitement.
However, Li Muyang's heart turned cold, and his gaze was firmly fixed on a figure under the golden tree... or rather, a corpse.
Under the golden tree, there was indeed a rigid, deathly pale corpse, motionless.
The clothes on the corpse were ancient and ominous, exuding an unsettling demonic aura.
There was a large hole in the brow of the corpse, with a glimpse of the congealed brain matter inside, indicating a severe injury prior to death.
However, these were not the main points; the key was the face of the corpse, which Li Muyang knew all too well.
He had seen it before in "Deadly Weeds"! Enjoy exclusive content from novelbuddy
The leader of the demon cultivators from Black Cloud Fort's rear mountain, that mysterious and malicious Demon Path cultivator—Temple-Sealing Lord!
The corpse of the Temple-Sealing Lord was under this golden tree, and the Bodhi Tree Demon had carefully preserved it, encapsulated in a glowing bubble.
Why had the Bodhi Tree Demon kept the corpse of Temple-Sealing Lord?
Li Muyang sharply turned his gaze towards the Bodhi Tree Demon surrounded by Holy Light, only to see the silver-haired man smiling at him.
The moment their eyes met, the Bodhi Tree Demon smiled.
"Worthy of an Ascendant, your insight is much stronger than that of an inferior specter like Lord Shanyang. You saw through my plan with just one look..."
The Bodhi Reverend spoke, standing beside the portal, yet he didn't enter immediately. Instead, he smiled at Li Muyang standing behind him.
"This corpse is an ancient demonic relic I chanced upon, extraordinarily well-preserved."
"And it's unknown how this demon managed his Body Refinement; although his soul has perished, his body still maintains vitality, as if alive."
"For years, I have been carefully mending it, debating whether to abandon the Bodhi tree form and reincarnate through this ancient fiend's body."
"If I could reincarnate through this ancient fiend's body, I could discard the influence of the Peach Blossom Fairy without fear of being consumed by the land of the North, and use this demonic body to display my prowess on the Demon Path, restoring my presence when my demonic energy spanned thirty thousand miles at the height of my power."
The Bodhi Reverend said, sighed, and spoke, "Alas, I have always been indecisive, worried about the failure of the reincarnation and the destruction of both soul and heart; I couldn't make up my mind."
"Because abandoning the Bodhi tree form would mean that this realm of Bodhi trees and all descendants within it would wither and perish. They represent the continuation of my life; I couldn't bring myself to do it."
"However, the arrival of you two, plus those demons from the south, finally helped me make this decision."
"From today, I will abandon the Bodhi tree form and all the descendants within this realm of Bodhi trees to reincarnate as an ancient fiend, walking the earth in a demon body."
After finishing his words, the Bodhi Reverend smiled slightly at Li Muyang and Lord Shanyang within his view, saying, "Wish me success, you two."
"When I successfully reincarnate, regaining the might of my peak years on the Demon Path, you two will understand how deeply the Peach Blossom Fairy's poison has tainted me!"

"And just how powerful I was at my peak!"
Having said this lightly, the Bodhi Reverend leisurely turned and walked towards the portal.
Witnessing this, Lord Shanyang immediately became frantic.
"Stop him! We can't let him go inside!"
Lord Shanyang hadn't anticipated that the Bodhi Tree Demon had such a plan.
Being a fellow creature of the North and evil in nature, he naturally understood how terrifying this old monster of the Bodhi Tree Demon was.
Although he had never witnessed its so-called peak period, even the current Bodhi Tree Demon was already formidable, dominating the entire region north of Yin Mountain.
If it could elevate its power to another level... his chances for the life-extending elixir would be utterly dashed!
Lord Shanyang was incredibly agitated and roared as he rushed towards the portal.
However, in the next moment, the ground of the garden began trembling violently.
Four massive figures emerged from beneath the garden's soil, coldly blocking Lord Shanyang's path.
These four figures had an eerie aura and were massive in size, emitting a nauseating stench that made Li Muyang uncomfortable.
Indeed, they were four wandering gods.
And it was an extremely powerful wandering spirit, far stronger than any other wandering spirits Li Muyang and his companions had encountered before.
The appearance of the four wandering spirits did not stop the footsteps of the Bodhi Tree Demon from leaving.
It continued towards the gate in the air, merely saying without even turning its head.
"Ah Da, make sure to entertain our distinguished guests well."
After speaking, the Bodhi Reverend stepped into the air gate and disappeared from the sight of Li Muyang and Sanyang Bo.
The four colossal wandering spirits opened their massive mouths, blocked in front of Li Muyang and Sanyang Bo, with a brilliant yet sinister smile.
"Okay, Daddy, we will definitely entertain the guests well!"
These four wandering spirits surprisingly addressed the Bodhi Tree Demon not as their superior, but as "Daddy."
In Li Muyang's sight, the massive health bars of the four wandering spirits appeared.
He sighed somewhat helplessly, saying, "This is going to be a tough battle..."
Sanyang Bo was slightly silent, looking at the four wandering spirits before him with a grim expression.
"Such powerful wandering spirits... This old tree demon had such tricks hidden."
"When it dealt with me back in the days, it hadn't even used its full strength..."
At that moment, Sanyang Bo seemed to have his pride shattered.
Li Muyang, on the other hand, didn't harbor such complex emotions, but instead summoned thunderstorms and directly attacked the wandering spirits in front of him.
That's just how the game is.
After the plot progresses, what follows is a head-on tough battle.
Challenge the BOSS and then take it down!
Although these four wandering spirits looked strong and formidable, Li Muyang directly launched an attack on them first, unafraid.
After all, he had challenged even stronger BOSSes than these wandering spirits. There was no reason to be scared by four wandering spirits.
...
Six hours later, Li Muyang, inside the cabin, opened his eyes, feeling somewhat headache-stricken.
"Damn... wasn't it a tough battle?"
His eyes were dizzy.
After opening his eyes, he lay exhausted on the bed for a good while before he weakly stood up.
The battle with the four wandering spirits was nothing like the intense clash he had imagined.
Instead, it was a strange temple chase.
—Or rather, a tree realm chase.
The four wandering spirits, using some unknown method, simultaneously shouted, and Sanyang Bo and the Dragon Maiden were suddenly locked by an invisible force.
Then the four wandering spirits turned and ran, and as the distance grew, Sanyang Bo and the Dragon Maiden felt an immense pain as if being crushed by a ten-thousand-ton force.
And the further the wandering spirits ran, the stronger the pressure felt.
Thus, Sanyang Bo and the Dragon Maiden were forced to initiate a chase within the Bodhi Tree Realm, attempting to kill the four wandering spirits and end this bizarre magic.
They moved swiftly, chasing the fleeting figures of the four wandering spirits within the Bodhi Tree Realm, attacking the wandering spirits ahead.
But the wandering spirits ran too fast, and they also obstructed Li Muyang and Sanyang Bo from behind during the chase.
During high-speed flight, they had to be careful of the wandering spirits' traps and also attack the wandering spirits ahead at a distance.
After six hours of mentally taxing chase, Li Muyang felt almost exhausted to collapse.
Fortunately, the game time ended, and he was kicked offline by the addiction control system, conveniently handing back the control of the body to the Dragon Maiden to continue the chase.
Meanwhile, the real Li Muyang collapsed on the bed to rest.
"...Luckily I can switch and rest," Li Muyang sighed.
As for Sanyang Bo, he had to tough it out alone, probably extremely exhausted.
