I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

"Better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free."

Lin Yi remained silent upon hearing this, his breathing remaining perfectly steady.

He was keeping a close eye on Madam Poison's condition; she was still stationed in Xingsha, waiting for feedback from her subordinates.

He fears no one as long as Madam Poison doesn't come.

So, if you can just lie down, then lie down; maybe you can get away with it.

He won't move until the knife is aimed at his neck.

Anyway, these little demons shouldn't be able to break through the defense.

“You’ve gone mad. How many have you killed along the way? Not a single one resisted. Killing so many mortals in one day will enrage the human court, especially since these people seem to be wealthy.”

"That was just a test, let's go!"

The discussion subsided, but Lin Yi still held Xiao Se's hand tightly.

Xiao Se dared not move and continued to pretend to be asleep, thinking that Lin Yi had discovered that the other party might be cheating.

Next door, Wang Jinxuan suddenly uttered something in her sleep: "This heroine is not some concubine, I am the number one swordsman in the world!"

Lin Yi: "..."

Xiao Se: "..."

She was prepared for both battle and escape.

Sure enough, those vanished sounds returned.

"Let's go. He's sleeping so soundly; he doesn't look like he's running for his life."

Lin Yi: "..."

He still doesn't know if Wang Jinxuan is pretending to be asleep or just being clever and talking in his sleep, but anyway, those people have indeed left.

However, Lin Yi still didn't give up.

Holding something in your hand can actually be quite comfortable.

Lin Yi was eavesdropping on where these people were going.

He realized that they weren't chasing forward, but rather heading back the way they came.

Lin Yi suddenly thought of a possibility.

Perhaps they were too complacent. The pursuers got ahead, sensed something was wrong, and came back to search, but still couldn't find them...

Outside Xingsha City, when Madam Poison saw that both groups of people had returned without encountering any enemies, her face turned ashen.

Then they heard that a demon, adhering to the principle of "better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free," had killed dozens of suspects.

Such a large-scale attack is a clear slap in the face to the imperial court. Even if her order was to capture Wang Jinxuan at all costs, does that mean she really has to do whatever it takes?

Besides, what if Wang Jinxuan is really among those people?

Enraged, Madam Poison bit the man who had said it was better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free.

"You're all useless and more likely to cause trouble than anything else. Sometimes I even suspect you might be spies planted by someone else to spy on me. Is this how you do things?!"

If you say it's better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free, she'll accept it.

But if you see a man or a woman who isn't a local, you just kill them. Is that how you screen people?

Besides, her order was to bring the person back, not to eat them.

This monster is clearly relying on someone backing it up to satisfy its appetite.

You do all the bad things, using my name as an example, and then I have to take the blame?

Fortunately, there were some of their own people in this group who finally stopped the gluttonous ghost from killing indiscriminately. Otherwise, if the killing had continued, the imperial court might have had to send a high-ranking official to quell the unrest.

The imperial court doesn't care how many people die; they only care about saving face.

"Your Majesty, please calm your anger!"

Enraged, the Poisonous Lady caused all the demon puppets and demons to kneel down, fearing they would be the next to be eaten.

"Hmph, the fact that Wang Jinxuan was able to escape shows that Lin Yi really has some tricks up his sleeve. He didn't run north, and he even leaked information that he was going to Lingling. Could it be... that he really is going to Lingling?"

Madam Poison didn't take a mere acting chief constable of the Jingye Division too seriously. How much ability could a chief constable possibly have if he was just an acting one?

To everyone's surprise, he actually managed to escape from her encirclement.

For a spider, having its web torn apart by prey is an absolute disgrace.

"I must bring them back. Since they are so sure I won't dare go to Lingling, I'll give them a surprise."

She didn't become a demon king overnight; she had dealt with all nine demon kings.

If I hadn't been unwilling, there could have been ten demon kings in the world.

However, if there are ten demon kings, the human race will also have eleven first-rank demon kings.

There are countless Taoists hidden deep in the mountains, and no one knows how many First-Rank Taoists there are in the human race, but when you need one, they can always find one for you.

It's neither too much nor too little.

Madam Poison won't play these tricks with them.

Once I obtain the Demon Emperor's legacy and become the new Demon Emperor, I will then seek the highest realm and become a Demon Immortal. What will I have to fear then?

When she made this decision, Lin Yi, who was in Xiangxiang County, also saw the updated status.

"Having found that the two tracking efforts were unsuccessful, and guessing that Lin Yi was going to Lingling, I decided to personally visit my old friend and prepare to give Lin Yi a surprise."

Oh dear, you know, this Poison Lady is just too polite. She came all this way, why give me any surprises?

Since you're also going to Lingling, I won't go. Goodbye.

The next morning, Manager Sun brought all the people Lin Yi wanted: carriage drivers, maids, and attendants.

There are nine people in total.

There were quite a few guards, a total of ten, who seemed to be quite skilled, but their eyes were full of hostility as they looked at Lin Yi.

Lin Yi recalled their conversation from the previous night and sighed inwardly.

The road has narrowed!

He said, "Very good, everyone is in high spirits. Let's set off now. Boss, here's some money for you, and the rest is your reward."

The payment was already made yesterday, but Lin Yi gave an extra sum.

When the money bag was opened, Manager Sun's complexion became much rosier.

It's gold.

This weight is a full one hundred gold pieces.

If he really wanted to buy so many things, it would cost him at most ten gold coins, with the carriage costing nine gold coins.

What kind of wealthy family is this?!

Manager Sun was trembling all over.

He wasn't afraid, he was excited.

Of course, he couldn't have imagined that a young master who was so generous must come from an extraordinary wealthy family, but so what?

Once they reached the wilderness, they killed the monster and then blamed it on the monster. They could only blame their bad luck; how could anyone trace it back to him?

"Thank you for your generous gift. Brothers, you must take good care of Young Master Lin and do not neglect him."

"Yes!"

The guards also saw the gold Lin Yi threw out, and their eyes almost turned red with envy.

This one job should be enough for them to live off for the rest of their lives!

He can casually give away 100 gold coins, so he might have 1,000 gold coins in his hands. That makes sense, doesn't it?

It's out! It's out!

Everyone was excited. Lin Yi went to his room, led several women onto the carriage, and then the carriage slowly drove out of the city.

Lin Yi sat leisurely in the carriage, but after leaving the city, the guards obviously sped up. They were going to take Lin Yi to a place called Wuyunjian to kill him.

Lin Yi overheard Manager Sun and the waiter's loud secret plot last night. Thanks to them, the pursuers probably also heard Manager Sun and the waiter's conversation and were able to leave.

Lin Yi also heard that there were monsters in Wuyun Ravine, and that they planned to send people to Wuyun Ravine to be eaten by the monsters.

That's how it's been done every year: Manager Sun gets the money, and the monster gets the blood offerings.

It is not impossible for humans and demons to make trade.

The evil of human nature is fully revealed at times like these.

Therefore, Lin Yi was also waiting, and when he arrived at Wuyunjian, he would give thanks for the gifts of nature.

He actually made a good profit from this sting operation.

Gradually, the route they took deviated from the official road, and the driver wondered why they were heading into this deep mountain forest.

But seeing the guards' fierce and menacing appearance, the coachman understood.

I thought I could make a fortune this time, but I never expected to lose my life.

Overwhelmed with grief, I burst into tears.

"Stop crying, or I'll kill you right now."

Once outside the city, these people no longer needed to hide their true identities.

The driver was a young man, only in his early twenties. He was so frightened that his pants got wet, and an unpleasant smell began to waft through the air.

Lin Yi's nose is the most sensitive, and he smelled it immediately.

"Brother, don't be afraid, it'll be alright."

Lin Yi comforted him with a word, and then a guard heard him speak. Remembering that there were three girls in the carriage, a wicked thought arose in his mind.

"You're like a clay bodhisattva crossing the river, barely able to save yourself, yet you're comforting others. Let's see if you'll still be able to offer comfort when your wife cries later..."

The guard, with a ferocious expression, was about to board the carriage when he was met with a sword aura.

"You could have lived longer, why did you do it?"
