I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

However, this Poison Lady isn't like Ah Qi, a monster that can only be sealed and not killed. If she can be sealed, why not kill her?

Lin Yi felt there must be some reason for this.

Looking at the other demons, Lin Yi lost his composure.

Bai Lianxian: After seeing off her fellow Daoist, she rested in her cave. Having suffered too much fright in a short period of time, she needed a stunningly beautiful face to heal her wounded heart.

Good heavens, this is insane!

If you're this afraid of being ugly, what will you do when you encounter inner demons later on?

Azure Feather Demon King: Whoosh, take off!

Cang Yu was the guy who looked like a chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur). Lin Yi didn't look at him closely at the time. After all, there were two pretty girls around, so staring at a man was a bit inappropriate.

It seems that the three demon kings separated shortly after leaving the cave.

Indeed, with so many demon kings gathering, it must have been done in secret. Once the matter is settled, they may have temporarily withdrawn, and perhaps they will gather again in the future.

After all, it's still under investigation, and we'll have to wait for the results.

Coincidentally, Lin Yi was also involved.

Finally, Lin Yi looked at Yan Qingqiu's status, turned to Yan Qingqiu's page, and saw her character portrait. She was wearing a very pure white dress, but there was still a willow tail behind her. She was very conservative and dignified, but she gave people a feeling of wanting to conquer her.

The ceiling of pure desire belongs to that category.

Yan Qingqiu: Enjoying the moon, waiting for an interesting person.

Ah, so I must be the one you've been waiting for?

Lin Yi knew something was wrong. Yan Qingqiu had indeed discovered him earlier, but hadn't said anything. Now that he had parted ways with the other two demon kings, he was waiting for him alone.

I wonder what this fox spirit is plotting. Is it because she's discovered his vigorous energy and wants to monopolize him?

Lin Yi thought it over and over and realized that he couldn't escape by taking the conventional route. "Watch my earth escape technique!"

Thanks to Qu Jing teaching him the Eight Trigrams Soaring Dragon technique, Lin Yi gained a certain understanding of the Five Elements Escape Technique. In addition, with the cultivation of the Talisman Dao, the ability to escape underground was no problem.

A surge of magical light appeared as Lin Yi burrowed directly underground. It was only then that the Crimson Cloud Demon General realized that someone had appeared in the cave at some point. The fluctuations of the magic were unmistakable; someone had been there just now.

Thinking back to how none of the demon kings had noticed that person's presence here, the Crimson Cloud Demon King was filled with lingering fear.

Then she realized what was happening and said to She Shisan, "Quickly go and report to the King that someone may have overheard what they were saying."

"promise!"

She Shisan quickly left the cave, but the Red Cloud Demon General did not dare to pursue Lin Yi.

How could she possibly contend with a powerful individual who could infiltrate her side without her noticing? She just didn't know which human was among them.

However, human cultivators value their reputation most, so how could a powerful cultivator of the same level as the Demon King have infiltrated her cave?

Chi Yun couldn't figure it out for a moment. After all, it was impossible for a first-rank human to harm her, but someone below the first rank couldn't escape the Demon King's perception. It was truly a strange thing.

However, she had already done everything she could, and all that was left was to report to the three kings.

Lin Yi's journey through the earth is also a unique experience.

His earth-遁术 (earth escape technique) transforms soil into a pool, changing the soil from a solid state to a liquid state. After Lin Yi passes through, it returns to normal, which is quite illogical.

However, land that has been frequently visited becomes more loose, allowing for faster movement when using earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of escaping technique).

This land clearly hadn't been used for earth magic, and it felt very solid. Lin Yi felt extremely cramped inside, and his true energy was being consumed in great quantities.

Lin Yi randomly chose a direction and wandered around for a long time before deciding that it was about time to break through the ground.

He was still a handsome young man, without a speck of dust on his body.

However, after he emerged from the ground, he saw a charming girl standing in front of him. Who else could it be but Yan Qingqiu? She smiled kindly and said, "You actually appeared in this way. How interesting."

Lin Yi: "..."

This time, he charged around recklessly, jumping left and right, repeatedly changing positions, and then plunged headfirst into the Demon King's arms.

Alright, Lin Yi stopped struggling. The difference in their cultivation levels was too great, and he had no idea what kind of supernatural abilities the other party possessed. It was better to face it calmly. Everyone was a decent person, and there was no need for fighting.

If we can't beat them, we can always use our bodies!

"Young lady, you seem to be enjoying the moon here."

"I guess so. The moonlight tonight is quite beautiful, just like the one I saw in my dream."

Yan Qingqiu tilted her head slightly; compared to the moonlight, she was clearly more beautiful.

These flirtatious words inexplicably appeared in Lin Yi's mind. Lin Yi almost blurted them out, but he bit his tongue.

Are you out of your mind? You know she's a demon king and you still flirt with her?

This is not like Jiang Linglong and He Dong.

Jiang Linglong and He Dong are both minor evils, just like Bai Lianxian. Why are they considered evil? It's because their very existence is judged as evil by the Demon-Slaying Manual, even though they themselves haven't done anything particularly bad.

But Yan Qingqiu is different. She is incredibly wicked, with her sins maxed out. It turns out that she was the one who instigated the Demon Emperor's Rebellion more than ten years ago. With such power, she is now involved in the Demon Emperor's Secret Realm. Lin Yi felt that this demon was unfathomable and dared not provoke her.

Yan Qingqiu, however, took the initiative to ask, "Do you think the moon is prettier, or am I prettier?"

Lin Yi: "..."

Could this monster have mind-reading abilities? Otherwise, how come she asked a related question right when I was thinking that?

At this moment, you absolutely cannot say that she is prettier than the moon, otherwise that will only embolden that vixen and make her continue to seduce him.

It's not fair to say she's less beautiful than the moon. Women care a lot about their own beauty; they might say it's superficial, but they definitely care a lot about it.

Lin Yi, quick-witted, said, "The moon is in the sky, but we are right in front of each other. If I were next to the moon, I would say that the moon is even more beautiful."

Upon hearing this, Yan Qingqiu chuckled and said, "In my dream, you said I was more beautiful than the moon."

Lin Yi: "..."

Good fellow, I'll call you good fellow.

At this moment, Lin Yi's mind was buzzing.

He read Yan Qingqiu's description, which said that she had innate wisdom. Could it be that she was actually a reincarnated person?

Lin Yi became curious about what kind of dream she had, but dared not ask. Yan Qingqiu then said, "Why don't you ask me what kind of dream I had?"

Lin Yi: "..."

He wasn't sure if the fox really had the ability to read minds, but he had to admit that the fox understood his thoughts, so he simply let nature take its course.

What did you dream about?

Yan Qingqiu Wei said with a smile: "This is a dream I had when I was very young. I dreamed of a man with a confused face who said a lot to me under the moon. Later, he became my nemesis and ruined my plans several times. In the end, he even killed me."

For a long time before, that person was a blur, until I saw you recently, and the man in my memory suddenly became clear.

You said, "Could it be that the person in my dreams is you? And that dream is a premonition of fate, that one day I will die by your hand?"

Can this be done?

Lin Yi always had a feeling that Heaven had betrayed him. Could it be that Heaven had sensed the existence of a cheater and sent an even stronger demon king to eliminate him in advance?

Lin Yi chuckled dryly and said, "Dreams are always the opposite of reality, don't take them seriously."

"So, it was me who stabbed you under such a beautiful moonlight?"

Yan Qingqiu still had a smile on his face, but Lin Yi felt that the smile was extremely terrifying.

She stretched out a hand and slowly pointed her index finger at Lin Yi's chest. Although it was very slow, Lin Yi had no way to dodge and was still poked by her.

Yan Qingqiu didn't use much force, just poked him and drew a circle on his chest, making the atmosphere much more ambiguous.

"Don't be afraid. I'm just here to see what the person destined to kill me looks like. It seems he's not bad. Cultivate well, and I'll be waiting for you to kill me."

After saying that, Yan Qingqiu chuckled and disappeared from Lin Yi's sight, as if the person who had been talking to him was an illusion.

Lin Yi was completely bewildered and looked utterly confused.

This monster is truly incomprehensible.

If he were Yan Qingqiu and actually had such a realistic dream, he would probably scatter the ashes of his nemesis in the dream.

Thinking of the description of Yan Qingqiu in the Demon-Slaying Manual, Lin Yi couldn't help but have a bold guess: could this fox spirit be a reincarnation, which is why the Demon-Slaying Manual said that this fox spirit carried the wisdom of the past.

Was Su Hui the one who knew the future and would kill her?

And you know what? If you leave Lin Yi alone, he'll eventually become the best in the world.

Because his cultivation has basically no bottlenecks, as long as he kills a demon, he will gain cultivation points, it's just a matter of how much or how little.

As long as he has enough demons and monsters to kill, surpassing Yan Qingqiu in cultivation level is a very simple matter.

Since Yan Qingqiu knew he was in danger, why didn't he kill him? Even if he didn't kill him himself, he could have had someone else do it. Why did he have to meet him and tell him about what happened in his dream, making him wary? What was he trying to achieve?

Or was she actually making up a dream to deceive people?

That doesn't seem like it either.

For a moment, Lin Yi's thoughts were in disarray.

Right now, he couldn't afford to think about any of that. He hurriedly left the mountains and returned to his house in the county town. Bai Lianxian had already ordered the Crimson Cloud Demon Commander to send people to investigate his affair with Wang Jinxuan. Lingling County would no longer be safe.

In comparison, Star Sand City is much safer.

Lin Yi returned to the city intending to relocate them.

To Lin Yi's surprise, when he returned home, all three girls were sitting together.

"what happened?"

Wang Jinxuan took out a broken jade pendant and said weakly, "I think I've found the treasure map to the Demon Emperor's Secret Realm..."

Chapter 178 Follow Me into the Cave

The treasure map that Wang Jinxuan showed Lin Yi was a jade pendant broken in two. The outer carving should be a bird, but not a phoenix.

The inside is hollow, and you can see very fine lines. When pieced together, it is clearly a map.

“I’ve worn this jade since I was little. My father said I was born with jade in my mouth, which is why he named me Jinxuan. I never expected there would be a map inside. I thought, if I really am the daughter of the Demon Emperor, perhaps this map is the way to the Demon Emperor’s secret realm.”

Wang Jinxuan usually carried this jade pendant close to his body and never took it out to look at it. Everything had been fine until today. He suddenly felt a bit hot and took it out of his pocket. Unexpectedly, after touching her hand, the jade pendant became as hot as fire. Wang Jinxuan subconsciously let go, and the jade pendant fell to the ground and shattered.

Wang Jinxuan's analysis made sense, but Lin Yi felt something was wrong when a perfectly good piece of jade suddenly started acting strangely, especially at this time.
