The Path to Sainthood from Fairy Tail

If you want to lure out the cowardly Muzan, the blue red spider lily is undoubtedly the best gimmick.

After figuring out the general route, Li Xuan came to the courtyard again and found his lord who was dying.

The curse from the world caused the people of Ubuyashiki to have a very short life span. Even if they married into the priest family, they would not live past thirty years old.

At this time, the lord was only accompanied by his wife.

Li Xuan's footsteps were clearly audible.

"You are here." The lord said this weakly.

As soon as Li Xuan entered the door, the faint smell of rotten meat made him frown.

"We can make a deal. I think you'll agree."

The Lord's eyes were expressionless. He simply asked, "What's the deal?"

"I have a way to lure Muzan out, but I need someone who can hold him off for a short while. It doesn't need to last until dawn, just until I can eliminate the other Twelve Demon Moons."

"What do I need to pay?" asked the lord.

"The lives of all the pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps, or rather, their fighting power. This is what I ask of you. In return, I can allow you to live healthily until you are forty. After that, all the curses will instantly erupt upon you, and even you won't be able to hold out for long."

Li Xuan's words moved the lord's wife, but she quickly returned to normal.

The lord was not moved at all by the deal proposed by Li Xuan.

He calmly replied, "If that's all, describing it as a deal isn't really the right word. My lifelong wish is to wipe Muzan out of this world, no matter the cost. As for life after that, it's meaningless to me. Everyone dies one day, and the first half of my life was actually quite exciting. If I hadn't gotten rid of Muzan, I would have lost all attachment to this world long ago."

Although Li Xuan had expected this, he was still slightly surprised when he heard his lord's words in person.

Death is an abyss that is difficult for most people to face. Only by seeing through worldly desires can one face death without fear.

"Forget it, since you don't want to live, I can't force you. But the siege and killing of Muzan must proceed. You do this... then this... and finally..."

"Will Muzan really come?"

"Don't worry about that. If you spread the news during the day, he will definitely come to find you at night. Leave the rest to the other pillars. If they can hold on, they might even survive."

The Lord pondered and said, "In that case, I will need some time to make arrangements."

"how long?"

"It'll take at least a month!"

"I'll give you four months. As long as you can hold on, let me know when you're ready. I'll be waiting for your news at the Butterfly House!"

……

Li Xuan was very relieved as the advance preparations were left to the lord of the Demon Slayer Corps.

If nothing unexpected happens, this time the problem can be resolved in advance and the outcome of the battle will not be too tragic.

However, judging from the conversation just now, it is estimated that the lord of the Demon Slayer Corps will still choose to lure Muzan into the trap himself this time.

For a person who wants to die, Li Xuan adheres to the principle of respecting personal wishes and will not interfere.

Moreover, after all, this world has too few ties with Li Xuan.

Even the people and ghosts in this world have a story behind them that is either touching or makes people feel pity.

However, this has nothing to do with Li Xuan.

After Li Xuan arrived at the Butterfly House, he was surprised to find that the Flame Pillar was able to get out of bed and move around. His recovery ability was simply amazing.

If you are an ordinary person, you will have to lie in bed for at least three or four days to regain your ability to move.

After seeing Li Xuan, the Flame Pillar gave him a forced smile and greeted him: "Thank you for last time. Without you, I might have died in that mission."

After experiencing life and death, the Flame Pillar has become much more open-minded, but the serious injuries still affected his spirit, and it is difficult for him to recover to his previous passionate state for the time being.

Li Xuan waved his hand and said, "I said, as long as you don't hinder me, we are not enemies. And it was me who stood by and didn't take action, which is why you were on the verge of death. Saving you is just a piece of cake."

At this point, Li Xuan asked again: "If Muzan dies, what will happen to your Demon Slayer Corps?"

"Wu Can died?"

He thought of Li Xuan's strength and soon felt relieved.

If it was Li Xuan's, Muzan would indeed be restrained.

"I think that by then the Demon Slayer Corps will have disbanded. Muzan's death will mean that the source of demons will also be eliminated, and our existence will be meaningless."

"Really? You sacrificed your lives to kill ghosts, but in the end, no one remembered your efforts. Are you willing to accept this?"

"Why bother talking about being willing or not? Isn't it an honor for our generation to completely eliminate the demons? Future generations can live in a stable environment and don't have to worry about being killed by demons at night!" The Flame Pillar looked forward to a bright future and his mood became relaxed.

"Then...what if this requires you to invade other nations?" Li Xuan looked at the Flame Pillar with sharp eyes.

The Flame Pillar laughed out loud: "Hahaha! Don't worry, our power will only be used to deal with demons. If anyone uses breathing techniques against humans recklessly, I will definitely take action to clean up the mess!"

After getting the answer, Li Xuan returned to his lazy state again.

"In a month, Muzan will go looking for your lord. That will be his end. You should prepare for your retirement as soon as possible!"

After saying that, Li Xuan came to the roof of the Butterfly House, waiting for the final moment to come.

The reason why the system requires him to travel through the world this time is that it detects that Li Xuan's frequency of gaining merit is too low, so a world appears for him to gain merit.

Judging from the model, it should be considered a way to motivate him to work.

Similarly, the main task of this world is to obtain enough merits, and then you can return to the original world.

Speaking of which, I will have to take the college entrance examination when I go back, and I don’t know what will happen next.

The situation of the human race in that world is much more dangerous. They are surrounded by three major natural disasters, and horrific battles can happen at any time.

Especially recently, the Zerg's size has almost recovered, and the friction with the human race has increased.

The intelligent machines have been continuously sending mechanical creations to invade the border, leaving no room for negotiation.

What makes human beings most uncomfortable are the demons. Ever since the connection between hell and the universe was opened, a steady stream of demons have been pouring out of hell.

General combat-type demons can be dealt with, but those high-level demons are very difficult to deal with. They don't like fighting, they like human souls, and they especially like to obtain human souls through transactions.

Satan is the best example.
