I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

Lu Ningchuan was startled, but relying on the number of people and his own status, he was not afraid at all.

"The person who killed you."

With a single slash, flames filled the sky. Lu Ningchuan never expected that this person would dare to kill an official of the imperial court. Wasn't he afraid of the backlash from his luck?

How many cultivators would dare to provoke the imperial court's fortune?

But Lin Yi actually dared to do it.

He was fishing outside the city today and had just killed someone when he received a letter from the King of Liang, demanding that Xiao Se be killed at any cost. It seems he's really been pushed to the limit and doesn't even care whether he can give the weapon to Lu Ningchuan.

Lin Yi was worried that Xiao Se might be in danger, so he and He Dong and others secretly returned to the city. He deliberately showed himself and pretended to go north. In fact, after seeing the rumors, he planned to stay in Xing Sha City and not leave.

I'll do other things after I get through September 15th.

Although there is a lecherous Bai Lianxian in this city, he can be a helpful ally when necessary, and it is much safer than other places.

He returned to the city and went to look for Xiao Se. After finding out where Xiao Se was, he followed him all the way, but he was still a little slower.

All they saw were corpses scattered everywhere, and Lu Ningchuan's men chasing after Niu Er.

Lin Yi rescued Niu Er before coming to find Shang Chang'er.

He had arrived quite some time ago, but he watched from the sidelines without making a move, hoping to lure out the person behind Lu Ningchuan.

Who would have thought that Shang Chang'er suddenly lost her mind and even dared to turn around and fight back.

Left with no other choice, he had to show himself and rescue the person.

When Ah Qi saw Lin Yi appear, he felt a surge of smugness.

Humans, all of this was within my calculations…

Chapter 190 Do you still need apprentices?

Given Ah Qi's senses, it wasn't surprising that she noticed Lin Yi following her. So she deliberately provoked Shang Chang'er to take action. She didn't even need to expend any power to control Lu Ningchuan. Lu Ningchuan got angry on his own, and with a barrage of arrows, Shang Chang'er was bound to die.

At this critical moment, Lin Yi reappears to save her. What will Shang Chang'er think?

This is love!

Even if she doesn't know Lin Yi's identity now, she'll definitely be moved when she finds out in the future.

If Shang Chang'er herself takes a liking to Lin Yi, and then she's tricked into seducing Lin Yi, Shang Chang'er naturally won't resist, hehehehe...

The situation is developing in a more optimistic direction.

Shang Chang'er had no idea that her master inside her body had so many schemes. Now that she had been saved by a master, she was naturally overjoyed.

"My name is Shang Chang'er. Thank you for saving me, senior."

With such high cultivation, he must be a senior.

"No need for such formalities."

Lin Yi lowered his voice to avoid revealing his origins. He looked at the firelight ahead, his knife still in his hand.

The strike was incredibly dazzling, but Lin Yi could still sense that the person inside hadn't been hurt much. Sure enough, not long after, the flames slowly died down. Lu Ningchuan and his group of county soldiers were still there, but a hunchbacked old man had appeared on the field.

"Senior, what is the meaning of your saving this corrupt official?"

Lin Yi could tell that the old man seemed to have some skill, and he didn't look down on him because of his strange appearance.

To be fair, it's quite rare to see someone this ugly.

“I returned to the mountain not to save him, but because I happened to pass by this place on my way to find someone. It is fate that we met, so I came here to save you from a disaster.”

"To protect me from disaster?"

Lin Yi clearly didn't believe it. The Taoist name Guishan sounded unreliable, and he probably thought that his hobby was releasing tigers.

"nature."

Gui Shan grinned and said, "This person is protected by the imperial court's fortune. If you kill him, you will surely suffer disaster and it will be of no benefit to your cultivation. It is not easy for the human race to produce a young talent like you. Don't waste your bright future on such scum. He will naturally have someone who can deal with him."

As Lu Ningchuan listened to this constant use of the derogatory terms "corrupt official" and "scum," he felt utterly humiliated.

He is the highest-ranking official in charge of this region!

How dare a mere cultivator insult him like this!

If he hadn't brought too few people today, he would have said a few words, but now he doesn't dare to say anything and pretends to be silent.

Hearing this, Lin Yi believed it somewhat. It turned out that the old man was not the other party's helper, but came to help him. Realizing that he had misunderstood, he quickly cupped his hands and said, "I misunderstood you, senior. However, this corrupt official has killed civilians and persecuted the loyal and good. If we spare his life, he will probably harm even more people."

If my calamity could be exchanged for the well-being of the people of a state, what would I have to fear?

Lin Yi was very adept at speaking from a moral high ground, and besides, this wasn't just empty talk; he genuinely intended to kill.

I'm determined to kill Lu Ningchuan. No one can save him now. I'm telling you!

Looking at Lin Yi's broad back, Shang Chang'er's eyes shone brightly. This is the model of chivalrous people like us!

Ah Qi was also very tempted by Lin Yi; she couldn't wait to seduce him into depravity.

He is righteous, so Ah Qi must make him evil.

His heart was pure, but Ah Qi wanted to defile it.

Ah, I really want to fast forward...

Master Guishan realized that Lin Yi was not there for show, but rather with undiminished killing intent, and thus felt even more admiration for Lin Yi.

Originally, he was just giving the younger generation some pointers, telling him not to be too reckless. There should be a boundary between cultivators and the imperial court. Even at his level, he wouldn't get too involved in the affairs of the imperial court.

Unexpectedly, Lin Yi was doing it despite knowing it was impossible. Such a person with a firm Daoist heart and who puts the well-being of the world first is extremely rare.

That's precisely why he wanted to help such a younger generation.

“I admire the vigor of young people, but there are some things you may not be able to handle. If you insist on killing him, why not make a bet with me?”

How do we bet?

"I stand here and will let you attack me at will. If you can injure me or make me take half a step back, then you win. How about it?"

That's it?

There must be a trap there!

Lin Yi sensed something fishy was going on, and after a moment's thought, he still agreed to the bet.

"In that case, I'll have to offend you."

Lin Yi put down his knife and placed his hand on Guishan Daoren's shoulder.

But since the other party was an old man, even though he was a person with cultivation, Lin Yi found it difficult to make a move. The other party's condition for winning was to injure him or make him take half a step back, so Lin Yi planned to push him back.

However, with this push, Lin Yi felt as if he were pushing a mountain, heavy and firm. Gui Shan just stood there, not moving an inch.

It should be known that Lin Yi's cultivation was all focused on his physical body. His strength should be the greatest among those of the same level. He gradually increased his strength to 30%, but he still couldn't move Gui Shan even a fraction. Obviously, this old man had some special supernatural powers and spells. So Lin Yi didn't go all out and simply withdrew his hand.

"Senior's skill is superb; this junior is inferior and concedes defeat today."

Lin Yi decisively stopped. If he couldn't kill Lu Ningchuan today, he could find another opportunity to do so next time.

I'm a Buddhist-like youth now, I just let things take their course.

Master Guishan was also surprised that Lin Yi gave up so quickly, and asked with some doubt, "Why don't you try throwing a couple of punches?"

"Let's stop fighting. Senior is an elder, how dare a junior act presumptuously?"

He's not stupid. When this old man asked him to throw a couple of punches, he clearly had that look in his eyes that looked like he was looking at him with amusement. How could he not see that there was a trick to it?

"Just throw a couple of punches, I won't consider it an offense. I'm easy to hit."

Lin Yi: "..."

This old man probably has some kind of quirk.

Lin Yi silently took a few steps back and said, "No need."

"Very well, we can fight again next time if fate allows. I also have things to do today. I heard that Lin Yi is taking the Demon Emperor's daughter north to Longhu Mountain. I wonder how far they have gone."

Lin Yi was about to leave when he heard this and couldn't help but ask, "Senior, do you also want the Demon Emperor's Secret Realm?"

"What would I need that thing for? It's just that I have some grudges with that demon emperor, and now that I've heard about her daughter, of course I have to take care of her."

This "taking care of you" is probably not a compliment!

"Then I will not disturb you any longer."

After bowing and saying his piece, Lin Yi quickly ran away. Shang Chang'er chased after him in the direction he had run off. The two disappeared in no time, and Gui Shan did not stop them.

Although Lu Ningchuan was annoyed with the old man, the man had saved his life, so he still said, "Thank you for saving my life, senior."

Master Guishan shook his head and sighed, "Even if I don't save you, you're beyond saving. Your death is imminent. Fate is on your own!"

He had no interest in chatting with Lu Ningchuan and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Enraged, Lu Ningchuan pulled the arrow out of his knee, threw it to the ground, and roared, "How dare you curse me like that, you dog of a Taoist priest!"

Even though he said that, he felt a chill run down his spine, and his hands and feet were ice-cold, as if they were about to fall out of his control.

That Taoist priest was clearly a highly skilled person. If a highly skilled person said that his death was imminent and there was no hope for him, how could he not be afraid?

Moreover, Lu Ningchuan knew his own situation. He had just accomplished something big today, but he hadn't succeeded yet. He hadn't caught a single person, and a masked man in black suddenly appeared out of nowhere and almost killed him as well.

At first, he thought he was destined to live, but now he realized that the old Taoist priest knew he was going to die and just didn't want him to die at the hands of the man in black.

Perhaps the pull was too forceful, Lu Ningchuan felt a wave of dizziness and fell backward. His personal guards quickly came over to support him and escorted him back for treatment.

The doctor examined the wound and found that it had only hit the knee but hadn't penetrated the bone, only breaking the skin and causing some bleeding. Yet, it had brought Lu Ningchuan to the brink of unconsciousness. The doctor could only say with high emotional intelligence that one cannot generalize about the physical condition of each person.

On the other side, after chasing for a while on horseback, Shang Chang'er finally caught up with Lin Yi in a small grove.

Lin Yi deliberately ran slowly so that she could catch up.

Once Shang Chang'er entered the grove, Lin Yi untied his face mask.

Seeing Lin Yi's handsome face overlap with the image of the chivalrous hero who saved her, Shang Chang'er's heart inexplicably raced for a moment.

When Lin Yi spoke those words with righteous indignation, she was actually wondering if it was Lin Yi, and she didn't expect it to be him.

"It's really you."

"It's been a long time. You did keep your promise and came to the Jingye Division. But I broke my word. I'm sorry."
