“Legend of Sword and Fairy?”

    What kind of game was this?

    Li Muyang entered the system interface with curiosity.

    As the game’s loading progress bar numbers jumped and eventually reaching 100%, the new game appeared in the game list.

    《Beginner’s Tutorial–The Mystery of Loushan City》(Closed)

    《Deadly Weed》(3/5)

    《Three Kingdoms: Demon Subduing Record》(Closed)

    《Legend of Sword and Fairy》(New)

    Four games are in the game list, with the brand new entry 《Legend of Sword and Fairy》 flashing a prompt next to it.

    Li Muyang didn’t hesitate to select the new game and entered 《Legend of Sword and Fairy》.

    He saw the game’s scroll unfold like ink flowing on paper, eventually revealing a scene reminiscent of the Along the River During the Qingming Festival, depicting a bustling city.

    The city was full of life, with people bustling in the streets, shoulder to shoulder, and boats shuttling back and forth on the river without rest.

    In the center of the scroll, a fair and ethereal fairy figure stood on a broken bridge.

    She carried an immortal sword on her back, standing at the head of the bridge, gazing into the distance with blood continuously dripping from her body, seemingly on the brink of death.

    Yet beneath the lively and bustling atmosphere of the city behind her, there lurked hideous demons and evil spirits...

    Bold and powerful characters emerged within the scroll.

    【When the fire dies and ashes fly, the moonlight is illuminated】

    【The passing of Fairy Yu became the last straw that crushed the spirits of Nanjiang City’s inhabitants】

    【In this city where humans and demons coexist, and evil spirits are indistinguishable, with the passing of Fairy Yu and the loss of their pillar, the once harmonious existence can no longer be maintained】

    【The torrent of the era comes surging forth, sweeping away everything】

    【Caught in the midst of it all, where will you go?】

    【Unlimited time game 《Legend of Sword and Fairy》 loading complete, enter the game now?】

    【Yes/No】

    The simple opening words roughly conveyed the information within the game.

    Li Muyang was somewhat curious.

    “Nanjiang City? Fairy Yu?”

    This was information he had never heard before.

    But at least this time it wasn’t a reskinned version of the ‘Three Kingdoms’.

    As Li Muyang chose to enter the game, the interface in his view changed to the character selection screen.

    【Please select your character】

    Without further ado, Li Muyang controlled the sloppy uncle Jiang Xiaoyu to walk out of the alley.

    He saw the street outside the alley was bustling nonstop, with a group of demons and ghosts dressed in red and green, beating drums and gongs, shouting loudly.

    “Fairy Yu is dead! Fairy Yu is dead!”

    The demons laughed loudly, parading through the streets, throwing candies to the people on both sides of the road.

    The sound of firecrackers popping was incessant, even livelier than a festival.

    The drunken Jiang Xiaoyu approached a bystander, asking curiously.

    【Jiang Xiaoyu: What’s happening here? Is Nanjiang City celebrating a festival? Why are you all so happy?】

    The bystander stepped back two paces, overwhelmed by the smell of alcohol, and pinched his nose subconsciously.

    【Bystander A: Whoa! Uncle, are you drunk? You don’t know about the important event of Fairy Yu’s fall? She died last night!】

    【Jiang Xiaoyu: I know that, I heard these demons shouting. But isn’t Fairy Yu your Nanjiang City’s guardian deity? It’s one thing not to be sad about her death, but to cheer and celebrate... Are you all out of your minds?】

    The drunken, sloppy uncle spoke rudely.

    The bystander immediately got angry.

    【Bystander A (Angry): What kind of drunkard are you? Fairy Yu was no guardian deity!】

    【Bystander A: It’s because of Fairy Yu that our beings in Nanjiang City lost our future.】

    The angry accusations of Bystander A resonated with the surrounding onlookers.

    The crowd that had been watching the parade of demons and ghosts now surrounded the sloppy uncle Jiang Xiaoyu in the middle, shouting and cursing.

    【Bystander B: Exactly! Fairy Yu was no guardian deity!】

    【Bystander C: Fairy Yu has harmed the beings of our Nanjiang City for hundreds of years! It’s because of her that we couldn’t live well!】

    【Bystander D: She deserved to die! The death of Fairy Yu is well deserved!】

    【Bystander A: Where did this drunkard crawl out from? Outsider, if you don’t understand the affairs of our Nanjiang City, don’t talk nonsense!】

    The excited crowd surrounded the sloppy uncle Jiang Xiaoyu, and some even looked like they wanted to get physical.

    【Jiang Xiaoyu: Huh? Fairy Yu harmed you?】

    【Jiang Xiaoyu: Alright, alright, if you say she harmed you, then she did. I was wrong, I apologize to everyone.】

    Seeing the crowd’s excitement, the drunkard Jiang Xiaoyu actually bowed and apologized without any backbone, and the disgruntled crowd finally dispersed.

    After the crowd dispersed, the drunken Jiang Xiaoyu walked towards a deserted alley, shaking his head and muttering to himself.

    【Jiang Xiaoyu: A bunch of fools... Fairy Yu is dead, and those demons and ghosts will start a massacre tomorrow, they’ll eat you all. Sold by the demons and still counting money for them... idiots.】

    【Jiang Xiaoyu: But why am I in Nanjiang City? Uh... never mind, let’s not worry about that for now.】

    【Jiang Xiaoyu: Fairy Yu is dead, but her immortal sword must still be in the city, I have to take this opportunity to find the immortal sword.】
