After some hesitation, Li Muyang chose to refine it.

    An immortal weapon level... anyway, with the system backing me up, let’s refine!

    The Startling Swan Immortal Sword, an immortal weapon level, had been refined into a system tool, so Li Muyang didn’t believe this ring could cause any upheaval by itself.

    A loading progress bar appeared in Li Muyang’s vision, but the loading speed was much faster than that of the Startling Swan Immortal Sword.

    Clearly, the grade of this ring couldn’t compare to the Startling Swan Immortal Sword.

    Realizing this, Li Muyang felt a bit disappointed.

    He thought he had stumbled upon an immortal weapon for free...

    However, after the system successfully refined it, a new interface popped up in his vision.

    An interface... similar to a chat group.

    There were six other people in the group, and their IDs were all names of stars.

    Names like 【Dangerous Star I】, 【Heart Star VI】, 【Ghost Star VII】, and so on.

    There were six people, but Li Muyang’s 【Blue Star III】 was conspicuously absent.

    Li Muyang saw that the six people in the group were chatting enthusiastically.

    【Dangerous Star I: ...The turmoil in Demon Sword City, the news blockade by the Demon Refining Sect is too tight, it’s impossible to know who got the Startling Swan Immortal Sword】

    【Ghost Star VII: Perhaps we could try infiltrating the Demon Refining Sect to probe. The people from the Demon Refining Sect have all withdrawn, maybe Gong Yanghong got the Startling Swan Immortal Sword】

    【Heart Star VI: I also suspect that Gong Yanghong got the Startling Swan Immortal Sword. He’s too suspicious】

    These six people were discussing the blockade of Demon Sword City and the whereabouts of the Startling Swan Immortal Sword.

    Then they started discussing 【Blue Star III】.

    In their minds, 【Blue Star III】 was the person who got the Startling Swan Immortal Sword, and they suspected that this person was the master of the Demonic Sect, Gong Yanghong.

    Li Muyang, extremely curious, watched these people chat and felt it was a bit strange.

    Clearly, he was in the group, yet these people seemed oblivious to him.

    Tentatively, Li Muyang sent out a message.

    【Blue Star III: I am not Gong Yanghong】

    The moment this message was sent, the entire chat group fell silent.

    【Dangerous Star I: ...?!】

    【Ghost Star VII: ...?!】

    【Big Dipper Star IX: ...?!】

    (TLN: Now that there is number 9 here, I become unsure whether the number at the end of their name is only for numbering. Might change this later if there is an explanation in the novel.) ?

    In the dark void, six shadows instantly stiffened.

    They looked at each other, at a loss.

    The shadow holding the ring with the character 【I】 murmured, “Did I just hear Blue Star III speaking?”

    .......

    Li Muyang was greatly surprised by the myriad of bounty tasks in the chat group.

    Although nearly all of these tasks were issued by Ghost Star VII, other members of the group had also posted their own bounties.

    These guys are indeed evil forces lurking in the shadows.

    They’re not only targeting the righteous Sword God Pavilion and Jade River, but they’re also not sparing the demonic Lion Demon Ridge and Black Lotus Sect.

    There was even a bounty for someone Li Muyang found somewhat familiar—Master Qingye’s head.

    Uh... could this Master Qingye be the same one from the Heavenly Origin Dynasty?

    Li Muyang was surprised.

    He had previously searched through maps and books of this world but couldn’t find any mention of Master Qingye or the Heavenly Origin Dynasty.

    Yet now, he discovered in the chat group that someone was offering a bounty for Master Qingye’s head, with rewards related to the Blood Demon Sect...

    Could it be that the Heavenly Origin Dynasty really exists in this world?

    Is this Heart Star VI from there?

    It’s a pity that private messaging isn’t allowed in this group, and all the members are offline, otherwise, Li Muyang would have liked to chat with Heart Star VI about the Heavenly Origin Dynasty.

    Now, looking at the empty chat group and the dimmed avatars of the group members, Li Muyang clicked his tongue in disappointment.

    If only he had known these guys were so faint-hearted, he wouldn’t have scared them.

    But then again, Li Muyang hadn’t intentionally tried to scare them.

    It was purely because these guys were too timid. Li Muyang had only said a few words before they all ran off.

    Li Muyang shook his head and temporarily closed the chat group.

    He was curious to see when these mysterious and timid group members would come back online.

    Surely they wouldn’t stay offline forever just because of him...

    After quickly finishing his meal and exchanging a few laughs with the other inner disciples at the dining table, Li Muyang hurried towards his residence.

    “I’m off to cultivate.”

    To everyone else, Li Muyang was diligent and reclusive, spending all his time locked in his room except for meals.

    But once inside his room, locking the door, Li Muyang immediately closed his eyes.

    Game With the Fairies, start!

    .......

    On the moonlit, eerie mountain path, Li Muyang held Xiao Yecao’s hand and grinned at Steward Wu in front of him.

    “Steward Wu, here’s the thing...”
