The fairies I flirted with in the game became real?!

Chapter 348 Cloud Chariot Flying Boat

The cold moonlight sprinkled upon the Flying Boat.

Aunt Su stood at the rear of the Flying Boat, her expression grave.

Although everyone had guessed that the Demon Cultivators from the Green Sheep Society might catch up,

the fact that they had done so this quickly, just within a day, still brought about a sense of despair.

It shattered all hopes of a lucky escape.

Li Muyang stood at the end of the Flying Boat, watching the eight beams of Escaping Light chasing through the clouds behind, yet he noticed that these beams always maintained their distance and did not immediately rush forward.

Li Muyang was somewhat puzzled.

"Why don’t they charge forward immediately?"

This was happening within the territory of the Demon Sect, where these Demon Cultivators were brazenly attacking a Direct Disciple in the wilderness. Shouldn’t they want to end it as quickly as possible?

Why delay?

Were they not afraid that delays might lead to unexpected complications?

Li Muyang couldn’t understand.

Under the moonlight, Aunt Su, with a somber look, exhaled deeply and said, "They are waiting for Old Dry Leaf."

Aunt Su watched the eight beams of Escaping Light, her eyes slightly narrowed.

"Although they try to feign overwhelming power, I can still see the weakness concealed beneath their aggressive façade."

Aunt Su said, "Old Dry Leaf is not among those eight beams of Escaping Light; he must still be on his way here."

"Without Old Dry Leaf, these vermin don’t dare to rashly attack the Flying Boat."

"The young lady’s Cloud Chariot Flying Boat is a superior Magic Artifact, equipped with its own Offensive Formation. If these eight were to force their way onto the Flying Boat, even if they managed to get in, they would suffer heavy casualties."

"Therefore, they are waiting for reinforcements, planning to attack the Flying Boat only after Old Dry Leaf and the other Demon Cultivators all arrive."

After saying this, Aunt Su turned to Li Muyang.

"Since the pursuers have caught up, we can only resort to our last method."

"Next, I will personally drive the Flying Boat, pushing its speed to the limit."

"But in this process, I cannot be distracted and must concentrate fully."

"The Defensive Array of this Flying Boat will be left to you and Yu Chan to handle, you two will act as my protectors."

Aunt Su, with narrowed eyes, said, "If we can shake off these pursuers, we might still be able to buy some time."

"If that group of pursuers tries to entangle us, you siblings use the Formation to meet the enemy!"

The ascending purple mist carried intense heat, distorting the air around it.

But Li Muyang was startled to find that the direction of the flying boat had changed.

Originally, the flying boat had been headed straight towards their Sect, but now it was steadily deviating from that course.

With puzzlement and shock, Li Muyang asked, "Aunt Su? The direction of the boat..."

Li Muyang quickly gave a reminder, thinking Aunt Su had made a mistake with the direction.

But Aunt Su, seated in the void with eyes shut, responded without turning her head.

"This is the direction."

She spoke slowly, "Now that the Old Dry Leaf has caught up, our original plan has to be abandoned."

"Even if Elder Yan is fast, she can’t possibly reach us before Old Dry Leaf."

"Continuing on the original escape route, we would surely die."

Aunt Su, fully absorbed in controlling the flying boat, explained the reasoning to Li Muyang with difficulty and slowly.

"So we’re heading to Cloud Mist Lake. This direction leads to Cloud Mist Lake."

"The demons in that lake might be able to help us."

Ordinary people can hardly withstand an assault by a demon cultivator of the Spirit Travel Realm.

Even if Li Muyang took refuge in a large city, he might not survive. Enjoy exclusive content from novelhall.Côm

Even large fortified cities like Tianjiao City and Yan Mountain City have cultivators of the Spirit Travel Realm stationed there.

However, in the cutthroat and survival-of-the-fittest world of the Demon Path, where might makes right and the strong prey on the weak, the cultivators of the Spirit Travel Realm who preside over a territory are like princes, holding high authority and power.

Why would they risk enormous danger to protect Li Muyang, a Direct Disciple, against the notorious madman of the Demon Path, Old Dry Leaf?

Even if they didn’t outright reject Li Muyang, when Old Dry Leaf truly came knocking, those City Lords in charge of each territory would definitely not go out of their way to protect him.

Seeking refuge in a large city would simply waste time to escape and possibly lead to an even quicker death.

This was why Li Muyang and the others had initially planned to flee to their Sect, hoping for Yan Xiaoru to come to their rescue, rather than fleeing to the nearest large city.

But now, only two days into the escape, they had been caught up with.

Even if Yan Xiaoru sprouted wings, she couldn’t teleport here to rescue them instantly.

Left to fend for themselves in the wilderness, Li Muyang and the others had to seek other avenues of survival.

Such as the highly unique forces within the Demon Sect’s territory—the allied demons.

Aunt Su, sitting cross-legged in the void, said expressionlessly, "The demons in Cloud Mist Lake, though greedy and brutal, possess natural advantages in their territory. Perhaps they could fend off Old Dry Leaf’s attack for a few days."

"As long as we delay enough, once the Elder arrives, we shall have a chance at life."
