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

Aunt Su's news was indeed utterly dismal.

No wonder her expression was so grave.

Given the strength available to Li Muyang and his group, if they were pursued by the Corpse Immortal and other Demon Cultivators of the Green Sheep Society in the wilderness, their chances of survival were bleak.

Ning Wan'er looked at Li Muyang and said, "Given the circumstances, I suggest we scatter and flee."

"As of now the Demon Cultivators from Green Sheep Society have not all caught up; they might be tracking and searching for our traces separately."

"After they pinpoint the exact location of the Flying Boat, they will still need time to gather."

"And this time they take to gather may be our last opportunity."

Ning Wan'er took a deep breath, her face earnest as she said, "Let's take this chance to split up and escape, which might give us a glimmer of hope."

"Aunt Su, piloting the Flying Boat, should pretend we are still on board, and continue to flee towards the Sect gates, creating a false trail."

"The rest of us, on the other hand, should escape in different directions toward the nearest major city, find a way to hide, and wait for protection from the Sect."

"With her high level of cultivation, even if Aunt Su is entangled by the Corpse Immortal, she could at least fight off or protect herself, and since their target is not Aunt Su, they won't battle her for too long," Ning Wan'er suggested feasibly.

The purpose of the Corpse Immortal and other Demon Cultivators was indeed to hunt Li Muyang down and find the successor of the Ancient Corpse Immortal.

The entire Ning family, including Li Muyang's relatives, were innocent bystanders caught in the crossfire.

If everyone spread out, the inability to find their targets all at once would force them to deploy more resources to search.

In the vast wilderness, it would inevitably take these Demon Cultivators from the Green Sheep Society more time to track down each individual.

The scattered group might just last until Sect reinforcements arrived.

However, no sooner had Ning Wan'er finished than Aunt Su frowned and shook her head, voicing a different opinion.

"Scattering might lead to complete annihilation," she warned.

"If you stay with me on this Flying Boat, relying on its defenses, even if the Demon Cultivators from Green Sheep Society catch up, we could hold them off for a long time."

"But if you scatter, given your current levels of cultivation set loose in the wilderness, encountering the Green Sheep Society Demon Cultivators would mean certain death."

Aunt Su shook her head and said, "The Corpse Immortal and those Green Sheep Society Demon Cultivators are sinister in their ways."

"Since they have come knocking, they will surely not let go of Muyang and you easily. Maybe they have some technique to track down targets very fast without being misled by the false information inside the Jiuyuan City."

"For you to scatter and flee would be akin to seeking your own deaths."

Aunt Su disagreed with everyone scattering to flee.

She had been sent by Yan Xiaoru to protect her two Direct Disciples.

For her, neither Ning Wan'er nor Li Muyang could be easily forsaken.

Although Ning Wan'er's idea of scattering might maximize the chances of survival for others, it was extremely dangerous for Li Muyang.

— If the Green Sheep Society were able to trace Li Muyang's location, wouldn't it be a death sentence for Li Muyang to leave the Flying Boat alone?

This caused the dispute between Aunt Su and Ning Wan'er.

After understanding the situation, Li Muyang pondered for a moment and then said, "I agree with Wan'er's idea; we should scatter and flee."

"Green Sheep Society is coming for me after all; there's no need to drag everyone else down."

Li Muyang said, "Aunt Su and I will stay on the Flying Boat to lure the enemy, buying time and creating an opportunity for the rest to escape."

"If those Demon Cultivators catch up and see me on the Flying Boat, they won't diversify their efforts to chase the rest of you."

"While Wan'er and Yue Chan take the chance to escape, each bringing their families away, and hide in the nearest major city, waiting for the Sect reinforcements."

Facing the crisis of life and death, Li Muyang's demeanor was calm, easily placing himself in jeopardy.

He had chosen to stay on the Flying Boat to lure the enemy, making it clear that he was using his own life to buy others a chance to escape.

This decision immediately confused everyone.

Ning Wan'er, who had cold-heartedly made the suggestion and had her own ulterior motives, was now staring at Li Muyang in astonishment. The surprising look in her eyes was as if she was seeing Li Muyang anew.

Li Yuechan, who had been silent until now, subconsciously spoke out in denial, her tone fierce, "No! This is too dangerous! If anyone stays, we brother and sister will stay together!"

Li Yuechan, agitated, grabbed Li Muyang's hand and said, "I can't leave my brother to lure the enemy on the Flying Boat alone!"

Aunt Su, surprised, looked at Li Muyang and said, "Muyang, what are you doing..."

She could not understand Li Muyang's actions.

Letting everyone leave while he stayed behind was like courting death.

The Green Sheep Society would catch up, and being a Spirit Travel Realm cultivator, she could likely escape unscathed.

But Li Muyang, a Core Formation Realm cultivator, would undoubtedly die in such a deadly trap...

This direct disciple, highly valued by the young lady, was actually a selfless good person?

In the cutthroat Demon Path, how had such a person survived until now?

Aunt Su squinted her eyes and took a deep look at Li Muyang, then remained silent.

She didn't believe that the man valued by the young lady was a fool.

And facing his adopted sister Li Yuechan's emotional response, Li Muyang merely shook his head indifferently and told Yuechan, "Why would you stay? To cause trouble?"

"As an inner sect disciple, your cultivation is the lowest here; don't stay and make trouble."

"Aunt Su and I will stay on the Flying Boat. Relying on the Flying Boat's defense, we might not die."

The Startling Swan Immortal Sword that Li Muyang had secretly kept was his greatest reliance.

But the fewer people who knew about the Startling Swan Immortal Sword, the better.

In a truly desperate situation, he could definitely hand over the Startling Swan Immortal Sword for Aunt Su to use.

With Aunt Su, a Spirit Travel Realm cultivator, wielding the Startling Swan Immortal Sword, an ancient immortal artifact, they could obliterate any demon cultivator below the Purple Mansion Realm.

For him, staying with Aunt Su meant a higher chance of survival, possessing a trump card that shouldn't be revealed unless absolutely necessary, but one that could wreak havoc if used.

Yet his expression remained calm, though the reactions of those who heard him varied greatly.

Especially Li Yuechan, who had been silent throughout; her emotional turmoil was uncontrollable.

She was determined to stay and live or die with her brother, refusing to leave no matter what.

And as the brother and sister argued so fiercely, Ning Wan'er, who originally planned to scatter to escape with her parents, suddenly felt awkward.

With the brother and sister showing such deep affection, she appeared cold and unkind by comparison.

Though being cold and unkind is a basic trait in the Demon Path.

If you're not a bit selfish, you'd hardly dare to get involved in the Demon Path.

Yet, in such a situation, Ning Wan'er couldn't help but feel uncomfortable.

When she first entered the Refinement Demon Sect, she had seen her true self under the moonlight.

She was a bad woman who would use any means to climb up, but she also took care of her reputation and didn't want to dirty her hands, looking down on those who were unkind and motivated by profit on the Demon Path.

She was more greedy than those driven by profit, wanting not only benefits but also reputation and decency to the extreme.

She thought that by stepping into the inner sect and becoming an elder's direct disciple, she could have it all.

But now, in the face of danger and seeing the deep bond between the brother and sister, Ning Wan'er bitterly realized that she had to give up something this time.
