"I want to see what level Guo Se Tian Xiang is!"

A figure gracefully emerged. Mu Ye stared intently. What kind of game character's model face hadn't he seen before?

However, when the person walked out, Mu Ye's breath hitched.

The figure was dressed in plain mourning clothes, a white cloth wrapped around her head, and she walked elegantly. Her figure was full and rounded, the loose mourning clothes barely concealing the undulating curves like mountain peaks. She was tall, her small steps like lotus blossoms, possessing an ethereal quality as if a goddess had descended. Looking at her face, it was even more exquisitely beautiful, her eyebrows, eyes, and features as if drawn from a painting.

Coupled with the mourning attire, her bright Peach Blossom Eyes held a hint of sadness, her charm mixed with a touch of confusion and sorrow...

Mu Ye was momentarily stunned, but quickly regained his senses.

The other guests were completely dumbfounded, as if seeing such a celestial beauty for the first time, unable to snap out of it.

As for Mu Ye, the reason he snapped back wasn't because he was tired of looking. If not for the system prompt, he felt he could have watched for a while longer. It couldn't be helped, Madam Shen was indeed very beautiful, especially in those simple mourning clothes. Paired with such a face, the more he looked, the more a forbidden sense of contradiction arose.

But...

[Madam Shen has died. Mission failed.]

"?" Mu Ye.

Mu Ye was a little bewildered. Wasn't the person right in front of him?

How could she be dead?

The next moment, Mu Ye's heart leaped, and he immediately activated his Mind Eye.

The surroundings instantly turned black and white, with only special auras slowly flowing.

And the 'Madam Shen' in front of him was emanating a sky-high pink Demonic Aura.

"It's a demon!" Mu Ye was suddenly shocked.

This Madam Shen was a fake? Not a real person?

At the same time.

[1. Demon Fox, take my blade!]

[2. Observe the situation, wait for an opportunity.]

Mu Ye calmed down and thought for a moment.

If he acted directly, with so many guests and house guards around, if this demon fox, under the guise of Madam Shen, incited them to swarm him, he probably wouldn't even get close to the demon before he was finished.

"Wait a moment. Let this demon fox reveal its true form."

Now that Madam Shen was dead, to pass the level, he had to at least ensure more people in the Shen Mansion survived, which would lead to a higher evaluation.

After a long wait, Madam Shen, as expected, first gave a sorrowful speech and then announced the start of the feast.

The moment the feast began, Madam Shen transformed into a man-sized Man-Eating Demon Fox and lunged towards the guests who were already feasting.

In an instant, the entire banquet hall was filled with fear and screams. Even some guests with considerable strength had little combat power against the aura emanating from the demon.

For example, people from the Divine Fist Martial Hall were also present, but only a few representatives, two or three in number.

"It's time to act."

Seeing this, Mu Ye did not hesitate. He activated his Demon Subduing Body and strode like a meteor towards the Man-Eating Demon Fox.

The Man-Eating Demon Fox was stunned, seemingly surprised that someone dared to rush to their death. It let out a sinister, hoarse laugh.

The sharp sound was extremely grating.

The next second, Mu Ye instantly drew the long saber from his waist.

Mu Ye was not skilled with the saber, he had barely used it, but at this moment, it felt as if he had handled it countless times.

Of course, this was due to the experiences of the Demon Sealer character itself, who was quite proficient with swords and sabers.

He casually cut open his palm and drew strange patterns on his face with blood, entering the Demon Sealing Body state.

"Golden Blade Art."

Then, Mu Ye's mind stirred. He formed a hand seal and lightly brushed the long saber in his hand.

Instantly, the long saber glowed with golden light as if enchanted.

Mu Ye, holding the long saber, leaped into the air. His body was like a streak of crimson light as he swung the saber towards the Man-Eating Demon Fox in front of him.

This time, the long saber cut through the demon fox's body like slicing through tofu, bathed in golden light. All the guests present were stunned.

The Little Maid, who had accompanied 'Madam Shen' out of extreme fear, collapsed on the ground, muttering:

"You... you... you..."

Mu Ye glanced at her, knowing he had cleared the tutorial. It was a pity that Madam Shen was gone.

Looking at the surrounding guests, Mu Ye sheathed his saber, leaped up, and flew to the rooftop as the scene gradually faded.

[You have slain the Man-Eating Demon Fox, tutorial cleared.]

[Clearance Degree: 78%]

[Rating: C+.]

[Number of people saved in Shen Mansion: 56/230.]

[Achievement 'Legacy of Wei Wu': Not Achieved.]

[Reward: 100 Paradise Coin, Character First Clear Treasure Chest X1]

[True Mode First Clear, Game Paradise Mall unlocked.]

[Detected player has been playing for too long, Game Paradise anti-addiction system activated, forced logout. Please rest sufficiently before continuing to play.]

"..." Mu Ye (he).

This clear was obviously easier and more composed than the last time.

Especially after casting Golden Blade Art, killing that Man-Eating Demon Fox was an instant kill.

This indirectly explained that the power of Golden Blade Art was quite significant in Sword and Blade Demon Sealing. Although in the cultivation world, this was just the lowest-level Gold Element Spell. Of course, this was also thanks to the original body's years of practicing this technique for mining, which resulted in high proficiency in Golden Blade Art.

"I cleared it, but... something feels off."

The rating had increased.

"Wait, this number of survivors, why is it only a little over fifty?" Mu Ye (he) felt a bit strange.

He had almost killed the Man-Eating Demon Fox the moment it appeared.

With so many guests present, almost no one should have died, so why were only a little over fifty people surviving?

"Forget it, I'll come back next time. What is this Character Ability Treasure Chest?"

Mu Ye (he) pondered and decided to open it.

The game couldn't be entered, but the game interface was still there. However, in the bottom right corner of Sword and Blade Demon Sealing, there was a locked icon, meaning it couldn't be entered.

[Character First Clear Treasure Chest: A treasure chest awarded for clearing True Mode with the current character. Requires the Key of Reality to open. Upon opening, the character will synchronize with the player, granting the character's abilities.]

[Use Key of Reality to open: Yes/No.]

"Obtain character abilities?"

Mu Ye's (he) heart skipped a beat. Really?

Just playing a game, it can't be real, right?

If he cleared it with the Demon Sealer, he would gain Mind Eye/Demon Subduing Body?

Then if he cleared it with the Brothel Patron...

But where would he get the Key of Reality?

Mu Ye (he) found that clicking on the treasure chest showed the source of the materials.

[Key of Reality: A mysterious key that opens the Gate of Reality. It can only be obtained by meeting certain specific conditions or completing special missions within game levels. The Paradise Mall occasionally offers limited quantities for sale.]

Speaking of which, Mu Ye hadn't taken a closer look at these rewards yet, like the Paradise Coin.

[Paradise Coin: A rare in-game currency that can unlock exclusive characters, revive save files, make purchases, and has countless functions. Please manage your spending wisely. Tip: When you don't know what to use in the game, using Paradise Coin is the right choice.]

Mu Ye opened the Paradise Mall. It was bare, with nothing except a key shimmering with silver light.

[Key of Reality, 50 Paradise Coin to redeem. Limited to 2/2 redemptions per season.]

"Limited redemption per season? Besides this, this thing can only be obtained in the game?" Mu Ye pondered, meaning he'd have to grind more in the game?

Whatever, he'd redeem one first to test the waters.

"Open."

[Character Treasure Chest opened, obtained Demon Sealer ability: Mind Eye Lv1]
