I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

She is a water ghost. Although water is no longer a constraint for her at her level of cultivation, she can still exert her greatest combat power when she is in the water.

Lin Yi's clothes could also ward off water and fire, and the man and the ghost sank completely to the bottom of the river.

"Dong'er, there are people in the Ghost Realm, you'll have an even harder time!"

"Fortunately, they didn't resist, so there wasn't too much pressure."

"You must have worked hard. Would you like to absorb some yang energy to replenish yourself?"

He Dong: "..."

She never expected that Lin Yi would still be in the mood to flirt at a time like this, when they were trying to escape for their lives!

However, she likes it.

"Now that you mention it, I am indeed a bit tired, and I also need to maintain my best condition and be ready to fight at any time. I don't mean to kiss you, I'm just thinking about the bigger picture."

"Ok, I know."

Underwater, Lin Yi embraced He Dong and kissed her.

Even if you're on the run, there's no need to be so nervous.

If Lady Poison returns to Spider Mountain, then she must be a land spider, and might not be able to detect underwater movements.

Even the most powerful demon king cannot search the entire world; at most, he can only search a certain area.

Moreover, she was facing the Ghost King, who was most skilled at escaping and hiding.

This ghost king is also a water ghost. With the help of the natural barrier of the Xiang River, it is impossible for it to go undetected, even if it is not right under one's nose. At least, it is impossible to detect it from a distance of more than fifty miles.

In fact, Madam Poison never even considered that Lin Yi would run away.

After all, Lin Yi's behavior was quite ordinary at the time, and her behavior was also normal. If it weren't for the Demon-Slaying Manual, Lin Yi wouldn't have been able to tell whether the demon wanted to eat him or not.

It's like an owner raising a bunch of chickens and ducks. They might have a specific chicken in mind to eat, but they wouldn't expect that chicken to be so smart as to sense danger and run away overnight.

However, Madam Poison believed that Wang An would definitely send people to test him, so she arranged for people to be stationed in the four directions of east, west, south, and north to ensure that Wang An's people would not be able to escape.

Madam Poison would not personally handle such matters, but if her subordinates were unable to manage them, she could sense it and step in to take charge.

Outside Xingsha City, she had already woven the net and was just waiting for Wang An to deliver it to her.

Yes, Lin Yi couldn't fly over; they dived through the water.

Below the first rank, no one could pinpoint He Dong's location. However, He Dong sensed the presence of some people in the water and pulled Lin Yi into the Ghost Realm ahead of time. They were only released after passing the blockade before continuing their journey.

Lin Yi then checked the status of Madam Poison and Jiang Linglong. The former was sleeping, while the latter was fighting monsters.

Clearly, Jiang Linglong is in a tough battle and will likely be out of the running for some time.

Tongtian River.

King Jinlin looked at the woman in red who kept knocking on the door and regretted his hasty decision.

He sensed something was wrong before, and knew trouble was coming. At this level, he had a certain perception of his own fortune and misfortune.

He has been behaving himself in Tongtian River lately and hasn't caused much trouble. The Heavenly Tribulation is still far away, so how could he be in such dire straits?

Later, his dutiful nephew, Lord Dongting, came over.

He valued this junior quite a bit. After all, cultivation wasn't just about fighting and killing. As a demon king, he seemed powerful, but he also faced many difficulties. If he had a nephew or younger brother who could help him out, he would be happy to see it happen.

This time, however, his nephew really let his uncle down.

Sensing something was wrong, King Jinlin didn't keep him. He even used magic to send him away and lent Dongting Jun a few treasures to save his life.

To everyone's surprise, not long after Dongting Jun was sent away, this woman in red came knocking on their door.

Have you seen a big white carp?

"No."

King Jinlin sensed Jiang Linglong's aura and did not want to be her enemy. Logically speaking, as a demon king, he should not be an enemy of ordinary people. At least, he did not protect Bai Li.

"He's a white carp, and you're a golden carp. You must be in cahoots, or maybe you're just gilding yourself to fool me?"

"???"

Jin Lin was stunned. Could it be thought of that way?

"If that's how you think, there's nothing I can do about it."

King Jinlin had no intention of betraying his nephew, and Jiang Linglong was in a hurry, so she naturally didn't want to waste time talking to him.

The white carp's scent disappeared here. If not the golden carp, then who else could we look for?

Since they're all fish anyway, we can catch them, make soup, and give Lin Yi a good boost. It'll also be a way of avenging him.

As for the true white carp...

I, Jiang Linglong, will remember this grudge; there will be plenty of time for it later.

And just like that, they started fighting over a single word.

King Jinlin, relying on his home-field advantage, thought Jiang Linglong was clearly of the fire element, and water counters fire, so he fought her in the water.

That's no joke!

then……

All the golden scales on his body were knocked off by Jiang Linglong. Fortunately, he ran fast and hid back in the palace, which was a treasure he had refined in his early years and was indestructible.

This woman is like she's back home in the water; water overcomes fire?

nonexistent!

If I can't afford to offend them, can't I at least avoid them?

But he still underestimated Jiang Linglong's determination.

Whether it's a golden carp or a white carp, we must kill one today and take it back to Lin Yi to nourish his body!

She punched the Golden Scale King's palace, and a crack immediately appeared in the palace.

Jiang Linglong continued to punch him, one punch after another, making the Golden Scale King feel both pain and fear.

Where did this fierce girl come from? I've never seen her before.

Judging from her posture, she probably really intends to eat him like a freshwater delicacy.

"Don't push your luck! We, the nine demon kings, are of one mind. If I use my secret technique, they can arrive within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. I advise you to stop!"

Jiang Linglong was not one to be intimidated by threats. Hearing King Jinlin's words, she coldly replied, "Today, either you or Lord Dongting must die. No one can save you, I said it!"

Chapter 154 Xiao Tou isn't a cheat

There is indeed a secret connection between the nine demon kings, but this secret connection is used more as a deterrent.

The nine demon kings are scattered in different regions. They are afraid that they will be defeated one by one by humans, so they have agreed on a last resort: when one demon calls, the other demon kings must respond and provide support.

Everyone for me, and I for everyone.

In reality, the areas where humans are stationed are also scattered, with each group checking and balancing the others without interfering with one another.

At this level, humans and demons actually address each other as fellow Daoists. Although humans and demons have different identities and represent different positions, it's not to the point where they have to fight to the death. The ones who really fight to the death are the lower-level people. Even the Demon King and the First Rank cultivators are still very polite to each other when they meet.

Unless it is a necessary struggle for interests, such a powerful person will not easily take action.

After all, what does it matter if one wins or loses temporarily?

The goal of advancing to a higher level is no longer about plundering resources, but about comprehending the Tao. If you fight with someone and accidentally injure yourself, leaving wounds that cannot heal, it will not do you any good.

Therefore, none of the nine demon kings believed they could use the secret technique among themselves. On this very day, the other eight demon kings simultaneously received a distress call from the Golden Scale King.

"Danger! Help immediately!"

These three words were enough to show how critical King Jinlin's situation was, but no demon king arrived within the time it took for an incense stick to burn, as King Jinlin had said.

The so-called nine demon kings being of the same blood is actually a joke. They are all of different races, so how could they possibly be of the same blood?

Although humans categorize all monsters as demon races, and these demon kings have indeed united, there are birds, snakes, cows, tigers, and fish among the demon kings, predators and prey, aquatic and terrestrial beings, those that can fly and those that cannot. Their habits are completely different, so how could they truly be of one mind?

In the Flowing Sand Valley, Lady Scorpion was the closest to the Tongtian River, but her first reaction upon receiving the news was not to go to the rescue, but to watch the show.

Why would the Golden Scale King ask for help for no reason?

What formidable enemy did he encounter?

Could it be that the human race has made another big move recently?

She decided to wait and see; after all, she had arrived, and whether or not she would make a move depended on her mood.

Other demon kings who were farther away also wanted to go and take a look, but since the demon race had demon kings and the human race also had first-rank demon kings, it was not like the demon kings would make a grand appearance and the human race would not react at all.

As a result, only Lady Scorpion's place was relatively desolate, as she had come from underground. The other demon kings who flew into the sky were all stopped by the first-rank human.

Not only was the Demon King feeling uneasy, but the human cultivators were also feeling uneasy.

What's going on here?

Is war about to break out?

Or is there fighting happening somewhere else?

Although the situation was unclear and they didn't know where to provide support, they absolutely could not allow the demon king they were watching to go and provide support.

As long as the Demon King he's facing is contained, he won't be blamed.

Coincidentally, the demon king who was intercepted thought the same thing.

Anyway, I've already tied down an important enemy, so Jinlin should be fine now, right?

And so, Jinlin experienced what it meant to be isolated and helpless.

After being hammered several times by Jiang Linglong, the palace exploded, and King Jinlin had no choice but to get serious.

A colossal wave surged on the Tongtian River, while Lady Scorpion, hidden in the shadows, silently watched the spectacle.

No rush. Reaching the first rank isn't easy; it's not so simple to determine a winner. If she can witness a battle between experts of the same rank, she might even gain enlightenment!

……

As the sun rises, the people of Xingsha City are awakened once again.

After the city gates were reopened, everyone went back to their usual routines, doing their jobs and grinding grain as usual, and life returned to its peaceful and tranquil state.
