I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

Lin Yi's choice to call her "senior" was a polite and courteous way of putting it. After all, Lin Yi was just a young man in his twenties, and it was perfectly acceptable for him to call a demon king who was over a thousand years old "senior."

However, the nickname "Xian'er" is a bit too intimate.

"Before Xian'er..."

"Hey, is there something you need?"

Bai Lianxian stared intently at Lin Yi, as if she wanted to see him into her own eyes.

Lin Yi was also helpless with this female demon who liked to interrupt people, but he didn't bother with her because she was pretty.

Lin Yi took out the broken jade pendant and placed it on the stone table. Before he could speak, Bai Lianxian grabbed it and put it away, saying with a shy smile, "Giving a token of love on our first meeting? As expected, you're also captivated by my stunning beauty."

Lin Yi: "..."

"What, you don't think I'm pretty?"

Bai Lianxian seemed to be flirting with Lin Yi, but her eyes were dangerous.

If you dare say she's not pretty, I'll scatter your ashes to the wind.

Lin Yi could only smile and say, "Senior Xian'er is of course extremely beautiful, but the jade pendant I brought today contains a map of the Demon Emperor's Secret Realm."

"So, you mean this is a betrothal gift?"

Upon hearing that this was a map of the Demon Emperor's Secret Realm, Bai Lianxian's intelligence returned slightly, and she once again fell into a state of infatuation.

Lin Yi mentally ranted, and also felt a faint sense of crisis.

Boys must protect themselves when they're out in the world; female demons can eat people.

"Senior Xian'er, you misunderstand. I already have a wife at home. I came here only to deliver the jade. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave now."

If we don't run, the monster will eat us.

Bai Lianxian was reluctant to let Lin Yi leave so soon; she hadn't seen him enough yet!

"Wait, of course I have other things to do."

Bai Lianxian pondered that she might have frightened this adorable little creature, so she restrained herself and resumed the proper demeanor of a demon, saying, "You said that there is a treasure map to the Demon Emperor's Secret Realm in this jade, is that true?"

"Of course it's true, would I dare to lie to you?"

"Since it's such an important treasure from the Demon Emperor's Secret Realm, why did you insist on giving it to me?"

As Bai Lianxian spoke, she moved closer to Lin Yi, as if she were about to cling to him, making Lin Yi feel a lot of pressure.

Demoness, please have some self-respect. If I were to truly lose my temper, you might not be able to withstand it.

"I have heard a little about your reputation, senior."

"You have to call me Xian'er, otherwise I won't talk to you."

Bai Lianxian scolded him playfully, and took the opportunity to grab Lin Yi's hand.

Her hands were very cold, but she liked Lin Yi's warm, large hands. Once she held them, she didn't want to let go.

Lin Yi tried to pull her out but couldn't, so he had no choice but to let her be. He said, "I've heard about Xian'er's reputation. I know you don't like killing, so naturally you don't want a major conflict between the human and demon races."

Now that the Demon Emperor's Secret Realm has suddenly appeared, and news of the Demon Emperor's son has spread, regardless of the truth of the matter, there is a murderous intent brewing within. I cannot bear to see the conflict between the two races, so after I accidentally discovered the treasure map of the Demon Emperor's Secret Realm on my disciple Wang Jinxuan, I divided it in two. I have already sent one part to Longhu Mountain.

The other copy would be perfect to give to Senior Xian'er for safekeeping.

Therefore, the only way to obtain the treasure map to the Demon Emperor's Secret Realm is for the two races to unite. If the two races are willing to resolve their conflict, they can each take the treasure; if not, they will each keep a portion.

“I understand what you mean. You want to pull your apprentice out of the vortex, so you are willing to give up the treasure map, but you don’t want anyone to get it, so you’ve given me a big problem.”

When Bai Lianxian isn't infatuated, her intelligence reigns supreme. They're all demons who've lived for thousands of years; those with low intelligence wouldn't have lived to this age.

"That's not how it works. I just feel that if the map is controlled by the demon race, the human race will definitely not let it go, and conflict will be unavoidable. My original intention was simply to resolve unnecessary conflicts between the human and demon races."

"Anyway, you've caused me trouble but haven't given me any benefits. Since that's the case, you should at least give me some compensation."

Bai Lianxian wasn't rejecting this half of the treasure map; she was just rather greedy.

Lin Yi could see right through it, so he said firmly, "Since Senior Xian'er is unwilling to accept it, then give it back to me. I will find someone else to give it to."

Bai Lianxian also liked his tough attitude very much.

If Lin Yi only has a pretty face but a soft personality, then he's not very interesting.

"Young Master Lin, please don't be in such a hurry. I just want you to come and chat with me more often when you have time. I've been all alone in these deep mountains and forests, and it's quite lonely."

"If that's all, I can agree to it."

Lin Yi felt that the request was not excessive, and with the idea that having more friends meant having more options, he agreed.

Why clash with the Demon King when you can befriend her?

"Can I hug you again?"

If she weren't afraid of scaring Lin Yi away, Bai Lianxian would have already tried to coil around him. It's a primal instinct; a snake will also want to coil around something warm.

Lin Yi refused this time, not wanting Bai Lianxian to push her luck.

But Bai Lianxian had been holding his hand and hadn't let go. Even though she'd been refused a hug, that didn't stop her from coming up and snuggling closer...

That night was extremely agonizing for both He Dong and Lin Yi. He Dong waited for Lin Yi to return, and the closer it got to dawn, the more distressed she became.

Because the situation seems to be developing in a bad direction.

Fortunately, as the first rays of dawn shone into the room, Lin Yi appeared at the doorway.

He looked extremely haggard; it seemed that his struggle with the mountain monster last night must have been very dangerous and mentally exhausting.

He Dong stepped forward with concern and asked, "Are you alright?"

"It's not a big problem, I can handle it."

That snake demon was so clingy and tempting; most men couldn't resist it.

Fortunately, Lin Yi was determined and preserved his innocence. In the end, he only allowed Bai Lianxian to touch him, but he didn't even let her kiss him.

But this place is too terrible, we have to leave now.

"Go and call Xiaocao and Jinxuan, let's go, let's leave now."

If we stay any longer, Bai Lianxian might come knocking on our door.

Before setting off, Lin Yi wrote a letter and sent it to Longhu Mountain. He was worried that things might change if he delayed, so he wanted to get the letter as soon as possible. Once the letter arrived at Longhu Mountain, the news could spread more widely and let others know as soon as possible that Wang Jinxuan had given up the Demon Emperor's Secret Treasure.

It's a pity we can't use Liang Wang's Cloud Eagle, otherwise the speed could be even faster.

Strangely enough, he had sent a letter to King Liang before, and according to Black Demon's memory, King Liang should have replied soon. Why has it been so long this time and Yun Ying still hasn't returned?

If Yunying doesn't return to deliver the message, Lin Yi's control over the situation in Xingsha City will weaken further.

It was at this time that Bai Lianxian told the other demon kings about Lin Yi giving her half of the treasure map. The speed at which messages were transmitted between demon kings was very fast, and Yan Qingqiu quickly judged that, given Lin Yi's speed, it was impossible for him to deliver the other half of the treasure map to Longhu Mountain so quickly. They could send people to intercept him on the way to Longhu Mountain.

The treasure map may or may not be on Lin Yi, but anyone heading to Longhu Mountain to deliver a message should be stopped. This is a treasure related to the Demon Emperor's secrets, and whoever obtains it will have a chance to become the next Demon Emperor.

It's likely that Bai Lianxian was blinded by beauty and momentarily forgot about the Demon Emperor's Secret Realm. If it were any other normal Demon King, the outcome would definitely have been to detain Lin Yi in order to obtain the other half of the treasure map.

Of course, not every demon king has the strength of Bai Lianxian and Yan Qingqiu.

After this order was issued, all the demons around Longhu Mountain were mobilized. However, the demons did not openly cause trouble; they simply checked the letters sent to Longhu Mountain, so Longhu Mountain naturally did not discover it immediately.

After Bai Lianxian finished doing what she promised Lin Yi, she suddenly realized that she had actually given up such an important resource. If she had obtained the Demon Emperor's Secret Realm, she could have saved herself a thousand years of struggle!

Lin Yi, Lin Yi, how are you going to repay what you owe me!

"No, I have to go out and collect the debt. I can't let that guy get away with it for nothing."

Bai Lianxian went out in high spirits. She had only been separated from Lin Yi for a short time, but she already missed him!

However, Lin Yi is from Xingsha. Perhaps after resolving this matter, he will return to Xingsha. He lives in Lingling year-round. The two places are separated. It is not difficult to meet, but it will be a lot of travel. Why not find a place to stay near Xingsha City?

Anyway, there are no other demon kings occupying Xiangzhou, so human cultivators shouldn't have too much of an opinion if I occupy the mountain and become king.

"That's right, let's find a good place to settle down first, and then give Lin Yi a big surprise!"

……

Lin Yi felt that no matter how fast it went, it would take at least two or three days for the news to spread widely, and he guessed that the Demon King had arranged for monsters to intercept him on the road to Longhu Mountain.

No demon king knew his true strength, except for Yan Qingqiu, who might know, but Lin Yi felt she wouldn't tell.

Therefore, Lin Yi traveled slowly along the way, buying a carriage and leisurely strolling northward, giving the Demon King ample time to arrange for his men to ambush him.

That way, he can have takeout delivered to his door.

This time, he's using himself as bait to fish.

However, he underestimated how quickly the news spread; by evening, many factions already knew what Lin Yi had done…

Chapter 180 The White Carp Returns Home, Qu Jing Descends the Mountain

The news that the Demon Emperor's daughter had divided the Demon Emperor's Secret Realm Treasure Map in two and sent them to the Demon Clan and Longhu Mountain respectively spread at an extremely strange speed, thanks in no small part to the machinations of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion.

Tianji Pavilion is not a cultivation sect, but a martial arts force with people from all walks of life, a place where independent cultivators gather.

If a cultivation sect is a family, then the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion is a company. It brings together all sorts of people, but the constraints on each other are very weak, the entry threshold is low, and information spreads quickly.

Tianji Pavilion also took advantage of this to make a fortune.

As it happens, people in the cultivation world have been going crazy for gossip lately, with one scandal after another. A steward named Xiao Tianji from the Tianji Pavilion compiled all the latest news, analyzed and reviewed it, and then spread it around, riding the wave of the hot topic and contributing greatly to the spread of the event.

"The affairs of the Xiang River have been turbulent to this day. In general, they can be traced back to a rumor. Someone once said that there was a fierce battle in the city, which destroyed several houses, killed one person, and injured another. Those who heard it all laughed and thought it was foolish."

Several days later, strange phenomena were heard again in the river. Heroes gathered and demons congregated, considering it a priceless treasure. Suddenly, a strange fire appeared, burning all the demons to ashes. Afterwards, a woman in red with a golden face shattered the illusionary palace with her fist and slew the ancient demon with her sword.

All the demons in the field died, except for Lord Dongting, who fled a thousand miles away. People resented that the rare treasure had been taken by him, so Longhu Mountain sent people to hunt him down, but to no avail.

The following day, there were unusual movements among the demon kings in various places. It was then learned that the daughter of Wang An, the governor of Xingsha County, was actually the daughter of the deceased demon emperor. Wang An was coerced by a demon king and entrusted her to Lin Yi, the acting chief constable of Jingye Division. Lin Yi then fled under the pretext of going to Lingling to help deal with the demon scourge.

To this day, Bai Lianxian, the Demon King of Lingling, has obtained half of the treasure map of the Demon Emperor's Secret Realm.

I believe there are many mysteries and doubts surrounding this matter. Why did these peerless rivals engage in such a fierce battle? Where did the white carp go after seizing the treasure? To understand the root and the crux of the matter, please read the Secret Records of Heavenly Secrets.

In the secluded Tianji Pavilion shop, a man completely wrapped in a black robe finished reading the contents of his hand and angrily tore the paper into pieces.

What a load of rubbish!

He was Bai Li, the one being hunted. From the day he was hunted, he wondered what he had done wrong and why he was being targeted by the people of Longhu Mountain.

The people of Longhu Mountain were searching for him everywhere, so he had no choice but to come to Tianji Pavilion to gather information.
