You said you were going to make games, how did you become the richest man without doing anything?

Chapter 442: Camp Changes
The scene before me was like a chaotic hellscape, filled with fire, smoke, and blood-curdling screams.

The sharp blades of the black-clad warriors and the fangs of the nightmare demons clashed one after another, creating a bloody and brutal scene of horror. Even more terrifying was the raging fire that had already engulfed the entire camp. The blazing flames spread beneath their feet like giant orange-red pythons with bared fangs and claws, determined to devour them alive.

Zhong Wuye's face turned pale and he quickly made a decision: "Everyone, evacuate this place together! Follow me!"

With that, she swung her sword, slicing through the layers of flames and leading the charge out of the encirclement. Naturally, the Liuli Group members didn't dare hesitate for a moment, rushing towards Zhong Wuye like a wave, and desperately running after him.

At this critical moment, Zhong Wuye found a little girl huddled in a corner, shivering with fear on her face. Seeing this, Zhong Wuye immediately rescued the little girl.

As the fire raged, Zhong Wuye felt that the path in front of him was unpredictable: sometimes it was a sea of ​​fire, sometimes it was a jungle full of traps, and from time to time, terrifying monsters would suddenly appear to block their way, determined to burn them alive or tear them apart.

Fortunately, Zhong Wuye was very familiar with the situation. She was like a fleet-footed elf, easily jumping over each thrilling level.

Sometimes she used ice magic to suppress the raging fire, and sometimes she used her swordsmanship to split mountains and rocks to break through numerous obstacles. Even those strange creatures could not survive for long in her presence. Even when she was occasionally stumped by the level's difficult problems, G-chan would pop up prompts to guide her, allowing her to quickly find the key to breakthrough.

In this way, Zhong Wuye managed to escape from desperate situations and finally left behind this group of hypocrites who had pretended to be officials appointed by the court and had been cheating for countless years.

Behind her, the raging fire continued to rage, completely devouring the former camp. Although there was no one around, the air was still filled with a pungent smell of blood and bursts of shrill screams. This made Zhong Wuye shudder, and he was still terrified.

Just then, she remembered the little girl she had rescued before.

"Are you alright, little girl?" Zhong Wuye asked with concern, his eyes full of pity. Seeing her savior approaching, the little girl immediately threw herself into Zhong Wuye's arms and burst into tears.

She kept repeating words like "I'm so scared" and "Those monsters are so scary". Her frightened look made people feel pity for her.

After some comforting, the little girl gradually calmed down, and Zhong Wuye was able to find out the reason.

It turned out that she was a resident of a nearby village. Today, she accidentally wandered into the depths of the forest and was attacked by a nightmare demon.

If it weren't for Zhong Wuye's heroic rescue, she would have been eaten alive by those monsters and demons. Thinking of this, the little girl couldn't help but shudder, and her face became even paler.

Seeing this, Zhong Wuye patted her shoulder comfortingly and told her not to be afraid.

At this moment, she caught a glimpse of a dying body not far away. A cold and eerie breath immediately hit her face, making her shiver.

Following the scent, she was surprised to find that the man was Tai Shi Bo! His face was unrecognizable, covered in blood, and he lay there ugly and hideous, like a rotten corpse.

Zhong Wuye walked forward with mixed feelings, his eyes as sharp as a dagger, staring at his cracked and bleeding lips.

She demanded, "Tai Shi Bo, you are so treasonous, deceiving the court and betraying us! Do you have any last words? Tell them now, and don't haunt me like this!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Tai Shibo struggled to open his cloudy eyes and stared at the young female hero before him, who had once been his pawn but now stood alone, turning the tables on him. He coughed forcefully twice, a trace of blood escaping from the corner of his mouth, and his sneer on his face took on a touch of sadness.
"Hahaha, that's ridiculous, Zhong Wuye. Do you think you're doing all this for justice? In fact, you and I were both used. The intelligence back then was a complete hoax! There's no such thing as Xuantian Dragon Territory."

Zhong Wuye's heart trembled and he felt cold all over.

Tai Shi Bo seemed determined to tell all about his sinful past, so he continued in a self-deprecating tone:
"Over the years, none of the things I asked you to do for me were just acts! For example, the things you were tricked into stealing from the Linshui County government office last time were not evidence of corruption by the officials at all! They were all perjured testimony by our own people, all for the purpose of usurping power."

Zhong Wuye was shocked, and countless tragic scenes immediately appeared before his eyes:
Those villages ravaged by demons and those families wronged and harmed were all sins caused by her own hands! She couldn't help but twist her face in pain, holding her head with both hands and letting out a heart-wrenching roar.

Tai Shi Bo didn't intend to stop there. He tried his best to maintain his last bit of rationality and continued mockingly: "However, Xuantian Dragon Domain does exist, and my superior, Grand Tutor Ouyang, does hold the real clues. If you really want the truth, now is your only option. Find him and get to the bottom of it. The prerequisite is that you really have the ability to meet him, hahahaha..."

After saying this, Tai Shi Bo completely lost his life force. His body softened and he fell to the ground with a thud. His eyes froze, and the last flame of his life was extinguished. Zhong Wuye stared at him blankly, letting her tears roll down one by one, turning into two clear tears flowing freely on her face. She knew that from this moment on, she was destined to embark on a lonely and long road of revenge. And the road to the truth would become extremely thorny and rugged.
……

Tai Shibo's confessions after his death were like a heavy hammer hitting Zhong Wuye's heart.

She reflected on her mistakes and realized that everything she had done over the years was the result of being exploited by others. She was simply aiding and abetting the evil and committing sins.

Could it be that even the seemingly unattainable ideal of "Xuantian Dragon Territory" is nothing but a scam?

Zhong Wuye was overwhelmed with grief and tears rolled down his face.

But at this moment, she felt a warm touch in her hand. It turned out to be the little girl she had rescued from the fire. Her small hand was gently pulling at her sleeve, revealing a pitiful look. Zhong Wuye's heart warmed, and she realized that she still had the responsibility to protect her people and this little girl. So, she wiped away her tears and said to the Liuli Group disciples beside her: "Don't be sad, everyone. We must leave here quickly and continue to search for the whereabouts of 'Xuantian Dragon Domain'!"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the Liuli Group wore a determined expression, their fighting spirit ignited. They all dressed up and followed Zhong Wuye, quickly leaving the smoke-filled fire scene. As they emerged from the forest, a slender figure appeared at the end of their field of vision. It was the mysterious girl named Wu Ya! She was still dressed in a gray-blue robe, looking exactly the same as when they had met before.

"Ms. Zhong Wuye, long time no see." Wu Ya said in her charming voice, then turned her gaze to the little girl in Zhong Wuye's arms: "She is seriously injured. I'm afraid she won't live long."

As soon as she finished speaking, Zhong Wuye noticed that the little girl was indeed trembling violently, her eyes gradually becoming dull, and her breathing began to become shallow. She hurriedly and carefully put her down, holding her small hand tightly, her eyes filled with helplessness and despair.

Seeing this, Wu Ya couldn't help but shake her head slightly. "Why did you continue to save her? She will eventually die. You know it's impossible, but you still try to save her. Isn't it a waste of effort?"

Zhong Wuye raised his head, his eyes already moist, but his gaze was remarkably firm: "Because... because I want to give her hope. If there wasn't even hope, our Liuli Group would have perished long ago during those years of being hunted. Hope is the power of survival. As long as there is hope, we will never give up."

Wu Ya's expression softened a little when she heard this. She lowered her head and gazed deeply at the little girl, muttering, "Hope. Yes, perhaps this is the most precious thing to you." As she spoke, she took off the magic wand on her head and began to chant a funeral song with a strange melody and weird rhythm.

She gently parted her red lips and began to sing a funeral song. The song, like countless ghostly threads, wove through the air into a deathly barrier of energy. Enveloped within the barrier, the little girl's life gradually died. Her soul, awakened by the song, slowly drifted from her body.

Wu Ya's staff drew a strange rune in the air, as if opening a door to the afterlife. The little girl's soul transformed into a slender thread, dancing in the air to the rhythm of the funeral song, and finally merged into the mysterious door, heading to her soul's final resting place.

The song permeated the air like a spell, bringing with it a chill.

Soon, the little girl's breathing became steady, her eyes closed, as if she had fallen into an eternal sleep. Wu Ya continued to sweep her wand around her body, the wand shimmering with a pale purple light as if absorbing something.

When the ballad finally finished, wisps of pale blue light emanated from the little girl's body, which eventually flowed into Wu Ya's wand. The entire scene was like a ritual of salvation, extremely mysterious and solemn.

Zhong Wuye was shocked to find that he had never seen any ceremony to liberate the souls of the dead, and he was even unaware of such a process of "spiritual power transformation".

Just as she was wondering, Wu Ya had already stood up and picked up the wand again. The wand was now slowly gleaming with a pale blue light, and it seemed as if it would dissipate in a wisp of smoke at any moment.

Wu Ya stood beside the little girl, a trace of pity flashing in her eyes.

Once upon a time, she was also a child, ignorant and full of curiosity and expectation about the world. However, fate played a cruel joke on her. She witnessed the tragic death of her family and was forced to embark on a lonely and dark path of spiritual practice.

As the process concluded, a faint ray of light flew out of the little girl's body and sank into Wu Ya's staff. It seemed that this child's life contained some special energy, which was absorbed by Wu Ya after being purified.

Wu Ya looked down at her staff with a puzzled expression, as if she was thinking about something. At this moment, Zhong Wuye's voice rang out behind her: "Thank you for helping her transcend."

Wu Ya turned around, her eyes flickering, as if Zhong Wuye's words had touched the softest part of her heart. After a moment, she replied, "She was very lucky to be rescued before her death, and to have people like you by her side." As she spoke, her figure gradually disappeared into thin air.

Watching Wu Ya leave, Zhong Wuye took a deep breath, turned around and waved to everyone in the Liuli Group.

The purpose of their trip was to gather intelligence about Xuantian Dragon Territory, but the clues left by Taishibo were fragmented, making it difficult to fully understand the truth. At this moment, she remembered a person who had recently been in the capital of the Great Abyss Dynasty.

This clue was left by Tai Shi Bo.

"We should set off for the capital." Zhong Wuye made a decisive decision. "Only by finding Grand Tutor Ouyang Xuan can we find out what he knows."

……

Soon, Zhong Wuye arranged the trip. Everyone packed their belongings and set off for the capital.

The scenery along the way was picturesque, but no one was in the mood to appreciate it. Everyone's eyes were filled with determination. They had become accustomed to this kind of life in their wandering, but they could not help feeling confused and uneasy about the future.

But as long as Zhong Wuye is there, it is like having a solid navigator to point them in the direction of progress.

They began to march towards the capital of the Dayuan court...
