I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

This is truly a case of driving away the wolves only to have the tiger appear; the Xingsha Jingye Division is in great danger!

I'm never coming here again!

Lin Yi could only sigh as he watched Bao Sanniang lead her team away.

Fine, I've already had a lot of bad shipping couples, so one more won't make a difference. Whatever!

Lin Yi left today's portion of turtle and chicken soup in Guan Buping's room, too lazy to feed him, and left.

Guan Buping was completely dumbfounded. "My hand is still broken!"

Before leaving the Jingye Division, Lin Yi said something to Uncle Qin to prevent Guan Buping from going hungry.

On the way back, Lin Yi couldn't help but look up at the sky and think, "Brother Guan, oh Brother Guan, don't cry in the future."

"Excuse me, how do I get to the Prefect's Mansion?"

Lin Yi was strolling around casually when he suddenly heard a clear female voice asking a question. Being such a kind-hearted person, Lin Yi was naturally happy to give directions. He looked at the woman and was about to speak when the Demon-Slaying Manual in his mind suddenly started flipping through his mind.

The image of a large black spider leaps off the page, and beside it, there is the image of a seductive woman.

These depict both human and demon forms, as the two appearances are quite different. For example, Xin San Niang, who appeared before, only had one image.

[The Poisonous Lady, ruler of Spider Mountain, is extremely poisonous. She enjoys cannibalism after mating with men, and is cruel and tyrannical. Killing her grants one 2,700 years of cultivation.]

[Merits and Demerits: Heinous crimes - countless murders, cannibalism, stirring up conflict, leading people to become demonic puppets, controlled and having their life essence extracted]

[Status: Feeling restless after a long period of stillness, I went out for a walk and saw a handsome young man. I'm considering whether to give him a try.]

Lin Yi: "..."

I must have seen a ghost while walking at night!

The demon with 2,700 years of cultivation was 1,000 years more powerful than him and 1,200 years more powerful than He Dong.

Just by looking at this description, you can tell it's an extremely ferocious monster. How did this monster get into the city?

Could she be the demon king behind Zhu Sisi?

Lin Yi was terrified.

But he quickly regained control of his heartbeat and calmed down, saying, "The Prefectural Governor's Office is in the East City. Go straight along this road for three miles, and when you come to an alley, turn in, walk to the end, turn right, and walk to the end again. You will then see the Prefectural Governor's Office."

"Thank you very much, young sir."

"You're welcome."

"I have things to do today, so I hope we can meet again sometime in the future."

Madam Poison chuckled lightly. If Wang Liang were here, he would probably be completely captivated by her.

Lin Yi simply smiled slightly and watched the Poison Madam leave his sight before letting out a long sigh.

He was just a hair's breadth away from death!

Being too good-looking is really too dangerous. That spider demon was only considering whether to eat him because he was good-looking.

However, she must have something else on her mind.

This other matter is about going to the prefectural governor's residence...

Lin Yi felt a chill run down his spine. Although Wang An was protected by his official position as a prefect, this protection of fortune had its limits.

He Dong also said that she could enter the prefectural governor's mansion after her breakthrough, so what about Madam Poison?

Since she dared to ask, she must be able to get in.

This betrayal of Wang An was out of necessity. If he hadn't spoken up, the Poisonous Lady would have found out by asking others, and he would have lost his life for nothing.

He pretended not to notice anything, at least that way he could save his own life and still have a chance to turn the tables.

He glanced at the Demon-Slaying Manual and saw that the Poison Lady's status had changed to: preparing to go as a guest, thinking about the young official she had met by chance, and considering going to taste it at midnight.

Lin Yi: "..."

Okay, I won't eat him now.

Lin Yi took out the desolate wooden carving and quickly ran towards the city gates. At this point, he could only ask Jiang Linglong for help...

Chapter 150 Clash

Lin Yi's message to Xiao Se was to be careful and remember not to let Wang Jinxuan come home, and not to go out herself.

Wang Jinxuan used to learn martial arts with Xiaocao at his house. Since the girl was rarely home, Lin Yi didn't care and just treated her like another friend at home.

Unexpectedly, today gave her a chance to escape this calamity.

The prefectural governor's office is likely to suffer a severe blow today; we should try to save as many people as possible.

After all, it was he who revealed the address of the Prefectural Governor's Mansion. Even though he knew that the Poisonous Lady could find the Prefectural Governor's Mansion if she wanted to, Lin Yi still took responsibility for the matter himself. If something really happened to the Prefectural Governor's Mansion, he would be held accountable.

So he really put in all his effort to get help as quickly as possible.

But when he rushed to the Crystal Palace at top speed, he found that Jiang Linglong was not in the palace. Why did Jiang Linglong just go out today?

Turning to Jiang Linglong's page, it reads: "Chasing the enemy to the Tongtian River, a great battle is underway..."

Lin Yi: "..."

My head is spinning! It's already reached the Tongtian River?

By the time Jiang Linglong returns, the Wang family will probably be able to rest in peace.

"Calm down, calm down, things may not be as bad as they seem."

Lin Yi tried his best to adjust his state and keep a clear mind.

The two-thousand-year-old monster is indeed terrifying, but Wang An is the highest-ranking official in the prefecture. Although the imperial court's fortune cannot protect him against a demon king, the demon king certainly wouldn't dare to kill him at will.

He Dong had previously stated that the nine great demon kings of the world each had their own sphere of influence and could not arbitrarily invade human cities and states. This was probably a constraint imposed between humans and demons to maintain a semblance of peace.

The fact that Madam Poison, after cultivating for so long, could still politely ask him for directions to the prefect's mansion suggests she's not entirely unaware of the current situation.

If she's intelligent enough, she'll definitely consider the red line between humans and transgender people.

If a first-rank demon king were to personally kill the highest-ranking official of a human prefecture, it would definitely enrage the human race. At that time, regardless of whether she was a wild demon king or a demon king with a record, she would face a thunderous blow from the human race, and it might even trigger another war between humans and demons.

Does she dare?

Even if she dared, would the other demon kings really be willing to cause trouble with her?

Instead of being a demon king who rules the mountain and no one dares to offend him, he insists on fighting to the death with people. This is not the kind of thinking that someone who benefits from the status quo would have.

It is also written in the Demon-Slaying Manual that the Poison Lady was visiting someone.

Although he's an uninvited and unpleasant guest, he might not necessarily go on a killing spree, so...

"Am I the only one in real danger?"

Lin Yi was immediately dismayed when he came to this conclusion.

Because he really is on the Poison Lady's menu...

At the prefectural governor's residence, Madam Poison was invited into the living room.

The gatekeeper, seeing her extraordinary bearing, knew she was no ordinary woman. After leading her inside, he went to inform Wang An, not even daring to have anyone wait at the door.

Those who work as doormen are best at judging food by its appearance; their eye for detail is indeed quite good.

When Wang An heard that it was a woman, he instinctively thought she was looking for Wang Liang, but when the servant reported that she was looking for him, he was somewhat surprised.

He would never have any romantic entanglements outside of his marriage. Even if he had a few women, they would all be completely innocent and would not tarnish his reputation.

After much deliberation, Wang An went to the living room, intending to meet the woman in person.

Upon seeing Madam Poison, Wang An's heart skipped a beat.

This woman is clearly not human!

A monster who dares to enter the prefect's mansion and remain calm is definitely not a simple character.

"I don't know what wind blew today, but a distinguished guest has come to visit. I, Wang, have failed to greet him properly. Please forgive me."

“Prefect Wang, you are too kind. As an uninvited guest, it is already a great honor that the host has not rejected us. How could we ask for more?”

Madam Poison took a sip of tea, put it down, and continued, "Today I strolled around the city and saw that the people were living in peace and contentment. I know that Prefect Wang is a good administrator, and I envy these people. No matter if they are rich or poor, young or old, they can live peacefully in this world."

Unlike us demons, who, from the moment we are born, endure endless battles just for a single night's food, even if we are fortunate enough to have a chance at immortality and embark on the path of seeking the Dao, we are still hated by everyone. Prefect Wang, you govern this region and have a good reputation for virtue. Tell me, aren't demons born to die?

Upon hearing the Poisonous Lady's remarks, Wang An almost burst out laughing.

Are you here to debate with me? We cultured people are not afraid of debate at all.

Now that Lady Poison has revealed her identity as a demon, Wang An no longer needs to pretend to be polite to her.

Since the other party considered himself a guest, Wang An treated him as such.

Demons at this level should not be underestimated.

"May I ask your name, madam?"

"Just call me Madam Poison."

"The lady asked if demons were born to die. She said that demons suffer throughout their lives because the lady does not know the hardships of humans. Humans are born weak. They learn to walk at the age of one, can speak at the age of three, develop intelligence at the age of four, start farming at the age of ten, raise children at the age of adulthood, serve their parents at the age of forty, gradually decline in strength at the age of fifty, and find it difficult to walk at the age of sixty."

Without the care of parents, one cannot grow to adulthood; without the support of children and grandchildren, one cannot live out one's remaining years. Generation after generation, they depend on each other for survival. It is through this that a person, with a frail body, forms the foundation of a magnificent clan!

The Poisonous Lady smiled as she looked at Wang An. Was this man trying to make her seem like a demon with limited culture?

The languages ​​spoken in the world today include Mandarin, dialects, and classical Chinese.

Mandarin, or Standard Mandarin, is a unified language spoken throughout the country. This system began in the Qin Dynasty and was further developed during the Han Dynasty.

The dialect is the local language and the most commonly used language. Basically, even the highest-ranking officials, except for the stewards, speak the dialect.

Classical Chinese was used by cultured people. Ancient books were difficult to print, so the language was kept as concise as possible, which led to the formation of Classical Chinese. Later generations of cultured people would follow the ancient system, and as they wrote and recited more, they would unconsciously use it in their daily lives.

Therefore, unconsciously using classical Chinese in speech is a manifestation of being a cultured person.

The Poisonous Lady was thus outmaneuvered by Wang An, and in terms of reasoning, she was also at a disadvantage compared to him.

She said that life is difficult for demons, and Wang An replied that life is also difficult, but humans can become a great and prosperous clan precisely because everyone is weak, so they are born to support each other.

In contrast, the difficulties faced by the demon race became their own problem.

Seeing that Wang An wanted to continue speaking, Madam Poison knew that she could not win against this cultured man by reasoning, so she simply interrupted him, saying, "Prefect Wang makes a lot of sense. The reason why the human race is strong is because of unity. We also want to follow the example of the human race, unite, and build the Demon Court."
