I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

But your sudden blushing is a bit too frightening.

The thought of a certain possibility struck Lin Yi like a bolt from the blue.

Good heavens, he only cares about being a completely straight man, but he doesn't consider that his younger brother has somewhat effeminate features and a strange personality. What if he actually...

Oh no, this thought is terrifying.

Lin Yi also silently took two steps back. Because of Xiao Se's shyness, the atmosphere suddenly became a little tense.

"Well, I've already said my piece, so you'd better watch yourself. I have other things to do, so I'll take my leave now."

Lin Yi's escape will be even faster than when he faces Bai Lianxian.

Seeing this unusual behavior, Xiao Se thought that his older brother might also be shy, and suddenly felt a little shy and sweet. Little did he know that Lin Yi wasn't shy, but scared!

I treated you like a brother, but you...

Throughout the entire time, only the dark cloud silently found a place to lie down; the cat's room wasn't worth it.

Lin Yi's feelings were still very complicated on his way back to find He Dong.

What was terrifying was not Xiao Se's shyness, but Lin Yi's heart pounding as he recalled what Xiao Se looked like in women's clothing.

That's terrifying, absolutely terrifying.

Lin Yi rushed home and hugged He Dong.

This world is too dangerous, and only He Dongbo's magnanimous heart can give him a little warmth...

The next day, Lin Yi led his escape team out of the city.

He didn't even say goodbye to Xiao Se. When they parted, there were so many things left unsaid, yet he suddenly left.

Lin Yi took out Xiao Se's small wooden carving, intending to carve words on it, but upon seeing Xiao Se's appearance, he quickly put it away.

Let's forget about it and calm down for a while before making a decision.

Xiao Se should be safe for the time being, and as the mole, he will know about any actions taken immediately.

Besides, after being reprimanded like that, Xiao Se should be more likely to retaliate when facing danger next time.

As long as she doesn't want to die, a third-grade cultivator has many ways to save her life.

At sunrise, Xiao Zhao received the battle report sent by Lin Yi, and his blood surged.

The plan was so well made, and then all that's left is to say the operation failed, resulting in the loss of 35 men?

I'm already preparing to take the next step!

Xiao Zhao tried to calm himself down and looked at the description above, which said that Xiao Se had already reached the seventh level of cultivation. His face was extremely gloomy.

Genius, a true genius! He actually cultivated to the third rank without making a sound, and he even followed the Spirit Refining school!

Xiao Zhao had always thought Xiao Se was a Qi Refiner and was amazed by her talent in Qi Refining, having reached the fifth rank at such a young age. He never expected that his daughter was such a genius, reaching the third rank of Spirit Refining and the fifth rank of Qi Refining.

He demonstrated his Qi cultivation ability, but concealed his true power of spirit cultivation.

There's also a mysterious swordsman protecting her; it seems her trump card is even more powerful than she thought.

"She was indeed disloyal and had been wary of me all along."

Xiao Zhao's face was grim. He picked up his pen and wrote: "Kill him within three days, at any cost."

Xiao Zhao summoned Yun Ying to relay the order back, and then ordered, "Black Demon alone may not be able to handle this. Elder Huai, go and help him."

"promise."

There was no one in the barracks, only the sound of an old voice.

Xiao Zhao looked south, his eyes filled with ruthlessness.

"This is a project that will last for a century; we cannot afford to fail!"

When Lin Yi received Yun Ying's reply, it was already noon. He was leisurely fishing on a boat and had no intention of rushing to Longhu Mountain.

When Lin Yi heard that outrageous rumor yesterday, he knew that someone was trying to stir up trouble. After a simple analysis, he realized that the guys who spread the rumor probably wanted Lin Yi to help them divert attention.

Moreover, it must be related to the Demon Emperor's secret treasure.

Lin Yi is already attracting enough attention. As a mere acting chief constable of the County Night Watch, he dares to get into such a big mess. Anyone who hears about it will surely say he's awesome.

Just when they finally managed to shift the blame, someone immediately dropped an even more explosive piece of news. They're determined to keep everyone's attention focused on Lin Yi!

What is the purpose?

Lin Yi then analyzed the situation from the opposite perspective: what kind of people would be attracted to this kind of news?

Those who covet the Demon Emperor's secret treasure all possess the characteristic of being extremely powerful.

There are two possibilities for why the other party is attracting these people's attention. First, they want to do something big. This matter may not be related to the Demon Emperor's secret treasure, but they are afraid of being discovered, so they are doing something for others in advance.

Secondly, they do indeed have something to do related to the Demon Emperor's Secret Treasury, and it's possible that the other party knows the real way to open the Demon Emperor's Secret Treasury.

So, if it's the first case, then Lin Yi is a helpless victim, and the other party could do whatever they want.

Just like in later generations, whenever there is an event, there will immediately be big celebrity gossip, and a large number of uninformed onlookers will find it difficult to know accurately what kind of hype is being covered up.

Therefore, the first scenario is rather unsolvable.

Lin Yi could only lie there and let others use him; at worst, he could collect some interest later.

If it's the second possibility, then Lin Yi will be able to find a clue.

Besides Lin Yi and Wang Jinxuan, the person most closely related to the Demon Emperor's Secret Realm is Wang An.

Coincidentally, Wang An was not in Xingsha City at the moment. After being dismissed from his post, he and his family left by boat on their own.

Yan Qingqiu sent the Crimson Cloud Demon General to intercept him personally, but it's unclear whether he succeeded. In any case, if it's the second scenario, Wang An is highly suspicious.

When suspicion fell on Wang An, Lin Yi felt uneasy because he didn't trust Wang An at first, but gradually he also felt that Wang An might be a good person.

But he believes more in the facts.

The truth will always be revealed eventually; a person will always leave traces of their actions.

I just hope his judgment is wrong, otherwise Wang Jinxuan will be heartbroken, and Xiao Se will probably be heartbroken too.

Lin Yi was still thinking when a shout suddenly rang out from the side.

Lin Yi looked in the direction of the sound and saw Xiao Cao holding a fishing rod with the line taut. Wang Jinxuan was holding Xiao Cao, afraid that she would be pulled down by the fish. The two girls were leaning against a fishing rod and began to struggle with the fish below.

Lin Yi found it quite interesting to watch the two of them fish.

He Dong deliberately laughed at him: "Look at you, you've been fishing for so long and haven't caught a single one, but you've caught a whole bucket of grass."

"I can't fish, I can only catch fish by catching them."

Lin Yi grinned mischievously and put his arm around He Dong, but He Dong slapped his hand away and spat, "What a shameless scoundrel!"

Although she didn't know which fish he was catching while slacking off, she could tell from Lin Yi's mischievous look that he was teasing her, so hitting him was the right thing to do.

As the two were playfully cuddling, a sudden, strong force came from the fishing rods that Xiaocao and Wang Jinxuan were holding. The two girls cried out in surprise and were about to fall off the boat.

"Look, these are the fish I caught."

Lin Yi calmly released He Dong and appeared next to Wang Jinxuan and Xiao Cao the next second, flanking and embracing the two girls.

Relieved of the lingering fear of the two men, Lin Yi drew his sword. At that moment, huge whirlpools appeared all around the ship, causing it to rise and fall under their pull.

When a storm rises without wind, a monster is sure to emerge.

I wonder how big the fish are underwater.

"Keep an eye on them."

Lin Yi pushed the two towards He Dong, letting He Dong hug them, and then drew his sword and unleashed several sword energies towards the vortex.

As these sword strikes were unleashed, a sound like a cow bellowing came from underwater, and the boat stopped its sudden rise and fall. However, an even larger whirlpool slowly formed beneath the boat.

He Dong raised his hand to keep the boat upright on the water, which looked a little difficult for him.

Compared to a true water sprite, He Dong is not particularly skilled in water control.

Looks like the fishing master caught another big fish today...

Chapter 186 Are You Still Lin Yi?

The Xiangjiang River is not fast-flowing and usually has few large waves, but today a monster is causing trouble underwater, and the surrounding waves are gradually gaining momentum.

A wave several meters high crashed in, and the small boat where Lin Yi and the others were was like a withered leaf swept by a gale, about to be torn apart. Lin Yi jumped into the water along with the whirlpool.

"Wait for me to go down and catch a big fish, then we'll have hot pot tonight!"

A clear broth hot pot without chili peppers is also perfectly acceptable.

Lin Yi was no monkey who was bad at water combat. His precious armor was impervious to water and fire, and he had focused all his cultivation on his physical body. He was also very familiar with water, so he was not afraid to fight in the water.

Following the whirlpool, he quickly found the source, which he initially thought was a large fish, but turned out to be a giant python.

The giant snake's dark body coiled continuously underwater, creating whirlpools.

The giant snake was ten zhang long and had a robust body. When it saw Lin Yi come down, it opened its big mouth and revealed two sharp, huge teeth.

The Black-Scaled Serpent possesses immense strength and can control water. Its giant fangs can pierce through protective shields. It is controlled by the Great-Handled Immortal. Killing it grants eight hundred years of cultivation.

Goodness, it turns out it's a pet with an owner.

Lin Yi was immediately delighted when he saw this; the snake's body was yellow, clearly indicating that it was a strange creature.

Killing him will provide a good reserve of provisions for the next tribulation.

As for its master, the Giant-Handle True Man, Lin Yi had never heard of him; in any case, he was definitely an enemy.

He thanked the other party for sending the giant snake, which helped him overcome his tribulation.

If there were more good people like this, why would we have to worry about bottlenecks on the path of spiritual practice?

Lin Yi is indeed afraid of snakes, all kinds of snakes. But his fear isn't about running away after seeing one; it's more like, "If you dare come any closer, I'll kill you."

When the black python saw how small Lin Yi was, it immediately pounced. Because Lin Yi was so small, it didn't even bother to use a coiling motion; it simply opened its big mouth and tried to swallow him whole.

The scene was too terrifying. Lin Yi was so frightened that he went all out. His Five Elements Return to Origin combat speed was at least three times faster than usual. After pulling out Pillow Snow and unleashing a move that could slay ghosts and gods, Lin Yi still didn't dare to stop because the snake was still moving.

Lin Yi then delivered several more sword strikes until he had chopped the black python into many pieces, at which point he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's terrifying."
