This Is Not the Female Demon Lord I Remembered
Chapter 132: Entering the Formation

Chapter 132: Chapter 132: Entering the Formation

Liang Yi is now in a complete dilemma; he is only Level 30 and yet he has to kill a monster above Level 41.

If this were outside the Secret Realm, it actually wouldn’t be difficult to implement. He could simply find He Zhiqing, the divination master, to randomly calculate a Level 41 fugitive from the Immortal Dynasty, have his junior sister seriously injure them, and then he could carefully reap the bounty.

But now inside the Secret Realm, the only Fourth Realm beings he could find other than those from the Immortal Dynasty or other Super Forces are from the Devouring Spirit Sect.

Given Liang Yi’s background, he indeed could manage to kill across Realms, but that is limited to within a major phase. Level 11 to 40 is the Three Realms of Mortals, Level 41 to 70 is the Three Realms of Inquiry, and Level 71 to 99 is the Three Realms of Ascending to Immortality.

Whether it’s him, his junior sister, or He Zhiqing Meng Zhan, their discussions of fighting across levels are all confined within these three phases. Cultivators undergo a fundamental enhancement of their life nature each time they cross a phase, so only those who have similarly upgraded their life nature can evenly match in power.

Liang Yi can handle fighting monsters in their thirties when going beyond his level, provided they aren’t True Inheritors from a Super Force, who inherently possess the talent for cross-Realm combat.

Against such opponents, Liang Yi estimates he could currently only maintain an unbeaten record. If he completed his leveling-up task, the fight would likely be much easier.

Yet now the System is making him cross two Realms, including one major phase! If it wanted him dead, why not just say so instead of going about it in such a roundabout way?

"Senior brother?" Su Youyi, standing beside him, noticed Liang Yi suddenly looking distressed and started sighing.

"Sister, what did you do when you promoted to the Third Realm of Heart Inquiry?"

Liang Yi looked at Su Youyi, recalling that she was already at the peak of the Third Realm when they first met.

"Umm, it seemed like you just accompanied me for a heart-easing walk on the mountain top after dinner, hehe." Su Youyi propped her head up and thought for a while; then, suddenly thinking of something, she began to giggle foolishly.

"We talked for a while, and then I broke through. Nothing special."

"..."

It must be the System envying my handsomeness, right?

"After all, my initial desire when I began cultivation was just to always be with you, senior brother. I seek nothing else."

With a smile blooming like a field of flowers, Su Youyi captivated both Bai Xiaomo and Ju Xiaobei behind her.

Feeling his junior sister’s unguarded emotions, Liang Yi stared at her, and it seemed he began to understand why his level-up task was such.

It was still the insecurity brought about by a lack of strength.

Though Liang Yi didn’t say it, deep inside he still harbored some traditional male pride; he preferred to be the one protecting his junior sister, rather than the other way around.

He wished to shield her from the winds and sweep away all unhappiness for her. But in this world, without power, there’s no say—even being a disciple of the Banished Immortal inherently carries high risk.

And there’s the inexplicably aggressive Devouring Spirit Sect, who have orchestrated both life-and-death crises he’s faced since his transmigration—he wouldn’t be worthy of being a top player if he didn’t avenge these. Though the reasons are unclear, Liang Yi only needed to know the Devouring Spirit Sect was a nuisance, and he would eventually lead the players to annihilate them.

Speaking of players, possessing the Undying Body, calling them a natural disaster wouldn’t be far-fetched. Without the power to suppress them, anything they do wouldn’t surprise Liang Yi.

Thus, deep within his heart, Liang Yi earnestly longed for power; he too wished to become strong quickly.

He understood the principles, so why couldn’t he be given a task simple enough to complete effortlessly?

Come out, System! Let’s have a heart-to-heart talk!

What is this "Heavenly Dao Spirit Light" in the rewards? Liang Yi had never even heard of it, and in his previous life, the upgrade task only had the reward of level restriction removal.

However, the task reward was not the big deal, the main thing was the enhancement in life essence after upgrading.

"Let’s take it one step at a time," Liang Yi shook his head, too lazy to think too much.

Now almost no one from the Devouring Spirit Sect acted alone, and it was difficult for him to carry out his upgrading task.

Plus, the level 41 creatures are not brainless. Even if they can’t defeat Liang Yi and his group, as long as they delay a little, the Devouring Spirit Sect will receive the message and send reinforcements.

"Senior Brother, something feels wrong." Su Youyi reached out to stop the pondering Liang Yi, as she sensed a vague danger from around them in that instant.

Liang Yi frowned and cautiously scanned the surroundings. Was it the Devouring Spirit Sect? Hadn’t he avoided them? But when Liang Yi noticed the faint traces on the trees around him, he whispered harshly.

"Retreat, there’s an array set up here!"

The methods of setting arrays in today’s Cultivation World are diverse, completely different from the previous two epochs where one must set arrays on the ground or a flat surface. With innovation, even spatial three-dimensional array setups are not affected.

The one at the very back, Mushi, reacted the fastest. The moment he heard Liang Yi’s reminder, he hurriedly retreated. But Liang Yi and Su Youyi were half a step too late and were enveloped by the suddenly activated array.

"F*ck, there’s a trap? You with the thick eyebrows and big eyes, are you a spy?"

Bai Xiaomo and Ju Xiaobei glared furiously at the Leopard. Players also play games attentively, and sudden betrayal would definitely make them angry.

"It wasn’t me, I didn’t do it!" Mushi felt extremely wronged, also stunned by this sudden change.

"Hahaha, you think we are fools? Every time we set a trap and tried to encircle you, you escaped, and after several times, we had already guessed there was an issue within the sect."

A mocking voice echoed, ridiculing Bai Xiaomo and the others.

"This time we just used this turncoat to set up the trap."

Grinding his teeth, Mushi saw the people from the Devouring Spirit Sect closing in. Clenching his teeth, he took Bai Xiaomo and the others and broke through the encirclement; of the thirty-six stratagems, fleeing is the best.

"Hey, what are you doing? We want to share life and death with the boss!" Bai Xiaomo and Ju Xiaobei got anxious. Wasn’t this the perfect opportunity to show loyalty? In other games, if NPCs got trapped, they would run faster than anyone else because those NPCs didn’t have their own intelligence and only acted on commands; even if they saved them, the NPCs wouldn’t be grateful.

But this game was different, the npc intelligence was sky-high, completely identical to real humans. Shouldn’t they seize the opportunity to respawn and brush up some goodwill?

Once this chance is missed, there’s no store ahead!

"You two weaklings, stop trying to join the hustle, any person from the opposition is enough to kill you countless times!" Mushi wasn’t exaggerating.

The people from the Devouring Spirit Sect who came this time were at least at the Second Realm cultivation level. These two Abnormal People were just at the level of ordinary people - seeking death should not be done this way.

Since Liang Yi clearly valued these two Abnormal People, why not take them and run as a good opportunity to show loyalty?

Once this chance is missed, there’s no store ahead!

As for whether Liang Yi would capsize, based on his many years of experience as a two-timer, he probably wasn’t fated to die early.
