Chapter 7 This male lead is really hard to kill (7) If you can't kill him, there are others...

So far, Fu Li has only told Wu Feng that he came in because he had something to do, but he has never said what it was.

Fu Li didn't speak, and Wu Feng didn't ask either.

The boy was like the most loyal subordinate, only carrying out his master's orders, without even considering whether he would lose his life.

At this moment, he was sitting cross-legged on the ground, using demonic energy to heal his injuries.

Not far away, the Copper-Armed Crystal Fire Beast, having lost its demon core, quickly stopped breathing, and a pool of scarlet blood flowed from its body, forming a small pond. The scene looked both terrifying and tragic.

Fu Li thought for a moment. This bronze-armed crystal fire beast was of good quality, and its leather armor would be perfect for making a magic robe.

This time, he didn't have his germaphobia kick in and put the monster's corpse into his storage bag.

Once the calming effect of the still air had worn off, the two continued walking forward.

The surrounding mountains and fields are all the territory of the Crystal Fire Beast. It is considered the king of this secret realm, but it was unlucky to encounter the Demon Lord and his little disciple.

They walked for a hundred miles before they could see any trace of other monsters.

Fu Li strolled leisurely, occasionally stopping to let Wu Feng kill a few demonic beasts, then taking out their demon cores and throwing them into the alchemy furnace he carried with him.

He led Wufeng across lakes and through mountains, like a tourist visiting the area, stopping and starting as he went.

On the third day, the system finally couldn't hold back any longer:

[Host, you have been heading north the whole time.]

Fu Li replied, "I know. We were originally in the south, so where else could we go but north?"

The spiritual spring is located at the easternmost edge of the secret realm, and the female protagonist is approaching it. You should take the male protagonist there.

It knew its host was up to something again, but it didn't know what he was planning.

Not far ahead, a region shrouded in white mist suddenly appeared in the scenery.

Fu Li glanced at it; the white mist seemed to be a barrier, trying to obscure the scene inside. He said to the system, "Wait for me a moment."

Then, he turned and called Wufeng over.

"Wu Feng, as I told you, we came in on important business."

Have you ever heard of the Moon Demon Lotus?

Wu Feng searched his mind for a moment, then shook his head.

Fu Li continued, "A thousand years ago, Dao Qing Zhenren ascended to the Upper Realm, and this secret realm was transformed from his cave dwelling. The reason why the secret realm only opens every sixty years, and only on the fifteenth of the fifth month when the moon is at its zenith, is because a spiritual creature called the Moon Demon Lotus grows at the center of this secret realm. It only blooms when it senses the moonlight, and its flowering period lasts only fifteen days. Once the fifteenth day is over, the secret realm will close. There are even rumors that Dao Qing Zhenren was able to ascend to the Upper Realm by cultivating with the Moon Demon Lotus."

"I've come here specifically to find it."

As he spoke, he pointed to the area shrouded in white mist: "The central area of ​​the secret realm is just ahead. You will follow me in later. It may be very dangerous inside, so don't lose me."

Wu Feng listened attentively. Knowing that His Majesty desired the Moon Demon Lotus, he immediately straightened up and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

System: [Host, have you forgotten the purpose of this trip into the secret realm? It was to help the male protagonist find the spiritual spring to cleanse his demonic bones, not to find some Moon Demon Lotus!]

Fu Li strolled forward leisurely, saying slowly, "No, I came here to find the Moon Demon Lotus. Besides, I've already told the male lead my purpose. You know, the Demon Lord has always been someone who keeps his word. Changing his mind now would be breaking his persona. Didn't you warn him not to break his persona?"

System: [...] No wonder you were so leisurely the other day, just wasting time here.

Just as the system was pondering whether making Fu Li turn around at this moment would be considered a character departure, outside, Fu Li had already led Wu Feng into the white mist, entering the most dangerous and mysterious area of ​​the secret realm.

system:......

It seems that Fu Li tricked it.

Seeing the slightly smug expression on Fu Li's face, the system sighed and said:

"Host, I'm doing this for your own good. Your mission is to ensure the world's plot unfolds smoothly. I'm urging you to complete it successfully. Otherwise, if you actually kill the protagonist of this small world or cause the subsequent plot to collapse, the Heavenly Dao here will consider you an unstable bug and immediately kick you out, and the mission in this world will be deemed a failure."

[You should know that your labor camp record is linked to the completion of tasks. If you fail the task, it's like you've come all this way for nothing.]

Fu Li, however, was unconcerned and even somewhat pleased: "That's great! I can finally enjoy a life of leisure in every world from now on. I was forced into this world anyway, and I didn't want to complete those damn missions. If you're so capable, just electrocute me!"

After hearing his rant, the system fell silent.

It doesn't intend to continue to control Fu Li; perhaps only by letting him suffer a setback in this world will he truly wake up.

Seeing that the system had stopped responding, Fu Li was overjoyed, thinking that his strategy had worked.

As long as the male protagonist can be lured away from the spiritual spring, he will be unable to regain his immortal bones, and the plot will end there, with no subsequent revenge plot.

Then he would forever be the number one cultivator in the cultivation world, and the Demon Lord of the Demon Realm.

Fu Li thought to herself with smug satisfaction, and her steps became lighter and lighter.

But Wufeng was not as carefree and leisurely as he was.

Hidden within this white mist are many high-level demonic beasts. Those beasts dare not provoke Feng Fuli, whose aura is too powerful, and have all turned their attention to him.

On the one hand, Wufeng needs to be constantly vigilant against attacks from monsters, and on the other hand, he also needs to keep up with the Demon Lord's pace.

After traveling through the white mist for about a day, they finally arrived at the center of the secret realm.

The fog was blocked behind me, as if there was a barrier blocking it as well.

Fu Li could sense that there was a barrier here, but it didn't affect anything.

It also allows him to linger in the white fog a little longer before leaving, delaying the process and making it even harder for the system to force him to complete tasks. Nice!

The scene before them was clearly not the same world as the one outside the white fog.

Judging by the time, it should only be a little past noon, but here it already looks like night. A huge, bright moon hangs high overhead, as dazzling as the sun, to a somewhat eerie degree.

Where the moonlight shone, there was a layer of water up to ankle height on the ground. Looking out over the water, the entire field was covered with small white flowers that resembled water lilies.

Most of the petals are white, but at the tips, far from the stem, they display three colors: red, blue, or purple. The little flower sways gently in the breeze.

This is the Moon Demon Lotus.

Even the Demon Lord Fu Li, who had seen all the wonders of the world, was slightly shocked by the magnificent scene before him.

The Moon Demon Lotus was just an excuse for him to bring the male protagonist in, but he didn't expect it to actually exist, and to grow into a large patch.

He bent down to pick one, but saw a human bone under the leaf of a Moon Demon Lotus, as if it had been there for a long time.

Fu Li frowned and immediately sensed something was wrong.

Over the years, there have only been rumors about the Moon Demon Lotus, but no one has ever brought one out. Many cultivators who entered the secret realm to search for treasures have disappeared without a trace, including many powerful figures with cultivation levels higher than the Nascent Soul stage.

The original Demon Lord Feng Fuli was either diligently cultivating or preoccupied with fighting against the righteous path, and had never entered the secret realm. He had no idea what lay within.

Therefore, there must be something strange about this.

Wu Feng also noticed something was wrong and whispered to Feng Fu Li, "Your Majesty, there are bones beneath all these flowers."

Fu Li's eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a hint of wariness: "Don't touch the flowers in the water."

The two used magic to float in mid-air, and just as they were about to explore, they saw a large figure rise from a distance.

Accompanied by a sound that resounded throughout the entire space:

"All guests are welcome, please be patient."

Her voice was clear and ethereal, like a flute; it was an extremely pleasant and gentle female voice.

Only when you get closer do you realize that the reason the woman's figure is so large is because she has nine fluffy and long tails standing behind her, stretching out in all directions, looking like a peacock spreading its tail.

And her appearance is unlike that of an ordinary human.

Her long, snow-white hair reached all the way to her heels, and she wore a pair of white fox ears on her head. She wore a white lotus-root dress over a golden gauze robe, and there was a strange red dot between her eyebrows. Her hands were delicate and her feet were bare, revealing her fair and delicate feet. Her eyes were as flowing as spring water when she looked around, making people stare at her.

Feng Fuli only glanced at it briefly before withdrawing her expression of amazement.

Wu Feng, seemingly oblivious to beauty, had already transformed his demonic energy into a blade, his cold eyes sharp, appearing ready for battle.

Feng Fuli counted the woman's tails with interest and said, "Yes, a nine-tailed fox? I thought it had become extinct in the cultivation world, but I didn't expect that there would still be one hidden in this secret realm."

The fox demon stared coldly at them and said, "I see that you two are surrounded by demonic energy. Are you from the Demon Realm?"

Feng Fuli nodded: "Good eye. May I ask what brings you here? I have never seen a fox that can cultivate nine tails before."

The fox demon sneered, a sharp glint in her eyes: "Cultivating immortality is no good, you insist on cultivating demonic arts. I hate demonic cultivators like you the most!"

Fu Li looked at her with a smile: "Since ancient times, demons and monsters have been of the same kind. When you insult demonic cultivators, aren't you also insulting yourself?"

The fox demon retorted angrily, "I am different from you! I cultivate under the tutelage of Immortal Venerable Daoqing, following the Immortal Venerable on the path of immortality!"

Fu Li understood what was going on and asked, "Are you Dao Qing's spirit pet?"

The fox demon snorted, "When I ascend to immortality and go to find him, he won't just be a spirit pet anymore."

Fu Li seemed to be deep in thought. If you calculate the age like this, the fox must be at least over a thousand years old.

Feng Fuli, who is only over three hundred years old in this world: ...Oh wow, he's a senior.

He smiled slightly, but his cold and cunning eyes remained completely undisturbed. He bowed slightly and nodded: "I am Feng Fuli, the Demon Lord of the Demon Realm. May I ask your name, senior?"

The woman sneered, her voice laced with disdain: "So you're the Demon Lord from the outside? You're nothing but a lowly demon cultivator. You dare ask my name!"

Feng Fuli shook his head and said, "Whether it's the demonic path or the immortal path, they are both part of the Heavenly Dao. It's not certain who will become an immortal first."

As she spoke, her eyes flickered slightly, "There is something in the center of the Daoqing Secret Realm that no one has ever seen, and even the map markings are vague. But there are rumors of the Moon Demon Lotus in the cultivation world. Those under these flowers must be people who have come here to find the flowers."

The fox demon said nonchalantly, "It is their honor to be able to become fertilizer here."

She has cultivated here for a thousand years, while nurturing the flower fields of Moon Demon Lotus.

When a cultivator entered, she would tie them up and drain their essence to fuel her own cultivation, while the remaining body would be planted in the flower field as nourishment for the Moon Demon Lotus.

Because of the white mist and the barrier, ordinary cultivators cannot enter even if they want to. Although there are not many people who can get in, their cultivation levels are not low, which is enough for her to use for a long time.

For the past thousand years, she has remained alone in this place, luring cultivators into the secret realm to serve as nourishment for her and fertilizer for her flowers, and she still does so now.

Fu Li looked down and realized that the Moon Demon Lotus planted here didn't contain much spiritual energy, and couldn't help with cultivation as rumored. She couldn't help but ask curiously, "Why do you stay here all this time? Just to take care of these flowers?"

The fox demon was about to finish them off when she heard his words, but then suddenly remembered something, and two blushes rose on her cheeks. "The Immortal Venerable's favorite things are these flowers..."

Coming to her senses, Liu Mei lowered her eyebrows slightly, and her slender fox eyes shot out a fierce killing intent. Demonic energy condensed in mid-air, swirling around her like a red mist. The pressure of a great demon spread out from all directions, and her nine tails grew larger and longer, assuming an offensive posture.

The thousand-year-old fox demon has reached the Refinement Realm and has never lost a battle in the past thousand years.

In her view, the two people in front of her would also become fertilizer for the flowers, just like the cultivators in front of her.

However, this level of pressure did not have much effect on Feng Fuli, a cultivator in the Tribulation Transcending stage. He floated calmly in the air, his black robes fluttering in the wind. The silver fire dragon sensed the demonic energy and restlessly flew and swam on his clothes.

However, the situation of the boy behind him was different.

The difference in cultivation level between Wufeng and the fox demon was at least a whole Nascent Soul realm. Although the boy had already reached the Great Perfection of the Core Formation realm at the age of eighteen and could be considered a peerless genius, the gap in cultivation and age was still there. The slight pressure from the Refining Ruins realm was like a light leaf to Feng Fuli, but to him it was like a mountain pressing down.

Under such immense pressure, an ordinary Core Formation stage cultivator would have collapsed to the ground, unable to move. However, Wu Feng was still concerned about not disgracing the Venerable One. His handsome face was slightly distorted by pain, but he still clenched his teeth tightly, stubbornly holding on.

Looking at the composed figure in mid-air, he once again despised his own weakness.

He seemed so insignificant in front of the Venerable One, unable even to fight alongside him.

How can mere ants protect immortals?

Before anyone knew it, the boy had bitten his lip until it bled, and the bright red blood stained his pale lips with an eerie, vibrant color.

His dark pupils, like an abyss, surged with emotions that boiled fiercely, erupting into rampant anger and resentment.

When will he become stronger?! When will he be able to stand openly beside the Venerable One?!

At this moment, Fu Li did not notice Wu Feng's predicament.

He defiantly confronted the fox demon's oppressive aura, calmly staring into those murderous fox eyes, which seemed to hold a cold, still lake.

The next moment, the fox demon moved, its murderous aura no longer restrained, and its nine long tails struck like lightning.

"You can all stay here and be my fertilizer!"

As she spoke, she lunged towards Fu Li. She knew that Feng Fu Li's cultivation was higher than Wu Feng's, so she decided to deal with the stronger one first.

However, the man smiled slightly, snapped his fingers, and a high-pitched dragon roared. A silver dragon flew out from in front of his clothes and pounced on the fox demon, instantly engaging her in combat. The dragon's silver mane flowed and leaped like flames, and when it touched the fox demon's body, it actually set her fur ablaze.

The fox demon roared, "You shameless demon cultivator! You actually sent demonic beasts to fight me, are you too scared to fight me yourself?!"

Fu Li chuckled lazily: "If you can't even beat my mount, then forget about getting fertilizer; you'll have to be the fertilizer yourself."

Enraged by his nonchalant tone, the nine-tailed fox let out a long howl and transformed into a giant white fox, its four paws and nine tails attacking at once to fight the white dragon.

Silverfire Dragon was only at the Nascent Soul stage, and soon found itself at a disadvantage.

The nine-tailed fox seized the opportunity, wrapped its tail around the dragon's tail, pulled it off, and bit the silver dragon's belly. The silver dragon immediately let out a wail.

However, at that moment, the fox demon did not notice that a dark figure had already transformed into black mist and was sneaking in. Before it could react, a sharp pain came from the base of its tail, and blood splattered as one of its tails was severed!

The fox demon let out a violent scream, released the white dragon, and fell backward.

Each tail of a nine-tailed fox takes a hundred years of painstaking cultivation to grow. Once it is broken, it takes even more time and cultivation to grow it back, and the cultivation level will also drop.

"How dare you cut off one of my tails!" she roared in extreme rage.

"My tail is broken! My cultivation has plummeted, I can no longer ascend to heaven, and I will never see the Immortal Venerable again!" The voice was extremely shrill, a mournful cry that seemed to reach the heavens and earth, causing the world to shatter.

Fu Li, however, remained unconcerned, letting out a light, cold laugh as she continued her attack on the rest of her tails.
