I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

Long after Lin Yi left, a skeleton as white as jade emerged from the soil.

Within the eye sockets of the skeleton, two green flames flickered, and the person Lin Yi had abandoned slowly rose again...

Chapter 146: Going to Great Lengths for a Brother

When Lin Yi returned to the city wall, Xiao Se was petting a cat.

Upon seeing Lin Yi return, Wu Yun immediately changed her lazy and leisurely demeanor and sat up abruptly.

It sensed the presence of a dead soul on Lin Yi.

In other words, Lin Yi came into contact with vengeful spirits and evil ghosts in a short period of time.

Powerful ghosts will conceal their aura and not let it affect others; only weak or newly born ghosts will freely release their aura.

Xiao Se guessed that Lin Yi hadn't gone to relieve himself. After all, it had been such a long time. Could Lin Yi, as a cultivator, have been constipated?

She didn't ask, simply because Lin Yi seemed unwilling for her to know what he had gone to do, but she was still curious.

Being stared at with curious eyes by a person and a cat made Lin Yi feel a little uneasy. He remembered the misunderstanding with Brother Guan and felt that he could not let his reputation be harmed any longer.

When Guan Buping misunderstood him, Lin Yi thought he would have his future wife prove his innocence. Unexpectedly, Qu Jing ended up taking the fall instead... cough cough...

Getting back to the point, Lin Yi, seeing that no one else was around, asked, "What is your relationship with Prince Hui?"

He didn't actually intend to hide it from Xiao Se for long. He needed to let Xiao Se know that someone was plotting against her, at least to make her more aware of the situation.

Lin Yi didn't say anything before because he considered that the other party's identity was unknown and that he even addressed Xiao Se as "Prince," so he thought they might be family. He thought that saying it would only upset Xiao Se, and if he told her, she would definitely follow him, which would be dangerous.

Lin Yi, on his own, could come and go as he pleased. If things really got really bad, he could use the intertwined branches to remind Xiao Se to call for reinforcements. If the two of them delivered the vegetables together, then things would really be hopeless.

To his surprise, they turned out to be complete weaklings, and even claimed that Xiao Se's strength was unfathomable. This made Lin Yibai ponder for a long time, and he really wondered if Xiao Se was some kind of hidden master.

Only after the fight was over did I realize that, in the eyes of someone with a combat power of 50, someone with a combat power of 50 was probably already unfathomable...

Those people were truly the weakest fighting force Lin Yi had ever seen, but they died quite decisively and cleanly.

"Prince Hui? He's my uncle."

How's your relationship?

"They weren't exactly close, and they even had conflicts. Prince Hui was arrogant and domineering, and was greatly favored by the Emperor. From then on, he became extravagant and licentious, and did many things that angered both heaven and man. If he weren't also a member of the royal family and the Emperor's brother, he would have been executed by slow slicing countless times."

When Xiao Se described King Hui, there was undisguised disgust in his eyes.

In front of Lin Yi, apart from concealing her gender, she didn't hide anything else. She said whatever she wanted and was quite happy.

Is it possible that he arranged for someone to assassinate you?

"Is this what you were doing?"

Lin Yi nodded and recounted what he had just witnessed.

Xiao Se knew that Lin Yi was fast-moving and had sharp senses, but she never expected that he could hear a conspiracy forty miles away. She almost suspected that Lin Yi had supernatural powers.

As for traveling back forty miles in a short time, she could do it using the Divine Speed ​​Talisman, and even faster.

"Whether it was Prince Hui who did it or not is not important. In short, someone is watching me."

When Xiao Se said this, he was not flustered at all; on the contrary, he felt a sense of relief.

Acting like this every day must be quite tiring. If someone could really kill her, it would be a relief, and it would also fulfill some people's plans.

Her father, the Prince of Liang, held most of the military power in the country and was feared by the court and the public. The emperor might not be afraid of him either. Her obsession with cultivation might just be a tactic to lull her father into a false sense of security.

Xiao Se did not hate her fate. She knew that her father had reached a point where he would either advance or die. There was no way to retreat. If they retreated, not only would their whole family die, but also the followers who followed her father would die, and many more innocent people would die.

Amidst the turmoil in the court and among the people, it is inevitable that the Northern Dynasty will seize the opportunity to move south, which will then lead to another bloody storm.

So even though she was extremely unwilling, she has acted for so many years.

Now, she is also part of the plan.

Although no one told her, she figured it out herself. She knew more than her father wanted her to know.

For example, she has a hidden older or younger brother named Xiao Jin.

The only son of the King of Liang was killed, so the King of Liang could launch a revenge without restraint. No matter who it was, there was no reason to stop a father from avenging his only child. In fact, those people would feel at ease. The King of Liang had no descendants. What was the point of rebelling?

Then her father would deliver a thunderous blow, and after the situation changed, he would reclaim his long-lost son.

What a perfect plan, except it needs a sacrifice.

She arrived in Xingsha even today; otherwise, apart from her father personally leaking the news, who could have known so quickly that she was the heir of the Liang Prince?

You seem a little sad?

Although Xiao Se still had the same expressionless face, Lin Yi was still able to read her emotions.

She seemed much more vibrant lately, transforming from a wooden figure into a real person, and now she's back to being a wooden figure.

It seems to be about an assassination attempt!

"Don't worry too much. I told you I'd protect you, there won't be any problems. From today onwards, you'll live at my house. But you're not allowed to see your sister-in-law again, understand?"

Xiao Se was taken aback. Seeing Lin Yi's concerned yet wary gaze, he couldn't help but find it amusing, yet also felt a warmth in his heart.

Of all the people in the Prince's mansion, not one of them truly cared about her. From childhood to adulthood, only one person, a dark cloud, was loyal to her and treated her like a sister.

Now, however, there is someone she has only known for less than half a month who cares about her so much.

That wary look in his eyes is hilarious. This silly guy, does he think she likes his sister-in-law?

Although she felt touched, she did not intend to cause trouble for Lin Yi.

"I don't know where the people who want to deal with me come from, so it's better not to drag you and your sister-in-law into this mess. Besides, you have Xiaocao to raise. If I cause you to get into danger because of me, I will feel uneasy."

"You don't need to worry about those two. Let me tell you, your sister-in-law's cultivation is profound; even I might not be able to defeat her."

Lin Yi was telling the truth. His cultivation level was not high. Although he had a cultivation level that was one or two hundred years higher than He Dong's, once He Dong opened his Ghost Domain, he could only be worn down to death.

The higher one's cultivation level, the more one's spiritual attainment can only serve as a reference, rather than a constant standard. Demons and monsters possess various supernatural powers and secret techniques, and these supernatural powers are the key to defeating enemies.

Of course, cultivation level is always the foundation. Just like Wu Yuntian is a demon, he is too far behind He Dong and can't defeat her.

If it had a thousand years of cultivation, He Dong would have no choice but to flee at the sight of the meow.

Xiao Se had also witnessed He Dong's prowess. With that ghost's cunning and treacherous nature, and her rogue ghost domain, unless one encountered someone who could counter her, even a second-rank cultivator would have a hard time dealing with her.

"But what about the grass?"

"Little grass, you don't need to worry about her, just let nature take its course."

Lin Yi didn't mention Xiao Cao's glorious achievements: when Tiger Granny entered the house, she didn't die; when the tiger demon ate people, she still didn't die; later, when Chu Bi came to the house, she didn't find her; when Yi Pin came to the house and fought a big battle, she still managed to leave the house by chance.

This is definitely a combination of divine luck and passive indifference, so worrying about her is less important than worrying about yourself. Anyway, she can even cook for herself; she truly is a little grass, no one is easier to take care of than her.

"Anyway, it's settled then. At worst, we'll just run away together."

Xiao Se had no idea that Lin Yi had plans to run away at any time. When she heard that Lin Yi was even willing to go to such lengths for her, she suddenly felt a lump in her throat.

Lin Yi suddenly patted her shoulder hard and laughed, "You're not going to cry from being so touched, are you? Don't be like that. A real man should be more bold, you know!"

Xiao Se: "..."

She didn't know when it started, but her once intelligent and wise older brother now seemed like a complete idiot...

……

The news of the strange phenomenon on the Xiang River, the birth of the celestial artifact, and the final outcome spread rapidly within a single day.

What the general public in the martial arts world may not know is that several major sects and forces have already received the latest secret report.

Longhu Mountain, one of the ancestral temples of Taoism, had its headmaster, Zhang Lingxiu, open the letter in his hand.

"At first, the firelight appeared, matching the evening glow; the water rippled, scattering the sun. People were amazed, considering it divine. Demons and monsters all came at the sound of the wind, and virtuous and wise men from noble families vied to come with their friends. Upon entering the water, there were five mysterious gates, each containing one of the five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. Passing through these gates, one could see the Dragon Palace, which was said to open only after people had settled down..."

The letter detailed the beginning and development of the strange phenomenon, and finally described how the demons and monsters present were inexplicably killed by red flames. When Zhang Lingxiu saw in the letter that a woman in red wearing a golden mask appeared and broke the demon-sealing stone tablet, her expression changed drastically.

After the news of the strange phenomenon spread, he went to look through the ancient books. Longhu Mountain has existed for many years. Although it was famous, it was only a few hundred years ago. In fact, they had been quietly developing for many years.

Many important events are recorded in the sect's records: which demon was sealed away, which person killed which great monster. These are all the great achievements of our ancestors, how can we forget them?

Coincidentally, when he flipped through the ancient book to the beginning of the Longhushan School, he actually found such a passage.

"The Ancestral Master Long* sealed the Demon Ancestor in the Xiang River, and the Emperor's Blade suppressed him."

A few simple words, and a blurry character, but the title "Ancestor" is enough to identify him. And the event shouldn't be underestimated; what exactly is a Demon Ancestor?

Although Zhang Lingxiu didn't understand, he felt that it must be very impressive.

Since the patriarch did not kill the Demon Ancestor but chose to seal him, there must have been a reason. It was impossible for him to leave a trouble for future generations.

Where did this hothead come from?!

Ironically, this hothead actually managed to kill the demon spirit. Zhang Lingxiu felt a little relieved, but then she saw in the next letter that the treasure had been stolen by a monster.

What treasures could there be in that sealed land? The only one that could be the "Emperor's Blade" described in ancient books!

The Emperor's Blade, the weapon of the Son of Heaven, could only be a sacred artifact of humanity; how could it fall into the hands of the demon race?

"By order of the Celestial Master, all elders of the third rank and above are to descend the mountain to search for the demon and bring the Lord of Dongting back to the mountain!"
