I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

Lin Yi's heart skipped a beat, and he wanted to find a place to go out first. Unexpectedly, Xiao Se suddenly stopped, and Lin Yi bumped into her, startling Xiao Se into a soft cry.

"what happened?"

Xiao Se covered his buttocks and replied, "It's nothing. The dark cloud said it smelled the scent of a ghost."

"Has a ghost been in this cave?"

"No, meow, it's outside. There are a lot more signs of the dead outside."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yi couldn't help but worry that Lu Ningchuan might do something reckless. Hearing this, he could no longer hold back.

"You wait here for me, I'll go out and take care of them."

"do not go."

Xiao Se grabbed Lin Yi's hand, worried that he didn't understand the power of military formations, so she wanted to explain it to him. Her older brother's lack of common sense had been a long-standing issue.

However, Lin Yi knew this time.

"Don't worry, trust me."

Feeling the power from Lin Yi's large hand, Xiao Se knew that Lin Yi was determined to leave, so he had no choice but to let go and said, "You don't need to worry about me, I will take good care of myself."

"Okay, if anything comes up, contact me via the 'linked branches' method."

Lin Yi didn't hesitate and rushed out. When he got back, he realized that he seemed to know earth-遁术 (earth-遁术 is a type of magic that allows one to escape through earth), so why did he need to crawl through a hole?

His intelligence occasionally falters.

Back at the dry well, he dug up some soil to cover the passage. Listening to the sounds of people searching around the yard, Lin Yi decided to use Earth Escape to retreat first. However, he discovered that Earth Escape was no longer working.

This land cannot be burrowed into the earth.

I don't know why, but since I couldn't escape any further, I had no choice but to slip out from here.

However, the invisibility spell also failed, so Lin Yi could only jump out of the dry well and then leap through the air, heading towards the Jingye Division.

"They're there! Go after them!"

Lin Yi was dressed in black and masked. They had no idea whether Lin Yi was Xiao Se or not, but when a man in black suddenly appeared when they were about to arrest someone, they knew they had to make the arrest.

At this moment, Lu Ningchuan had already led his troops on a rapid march to surround the Jingye Division.

After surrounding the Jingye Division, Lu Ningchuan shouted inside: "The Jingye Division is a den of iniquity, colluding with evil spirits and harming the people of a village. Their actions are outrageous. I advise you to surrender immediately and await your punishment."

Bao Sanniang was currently arguing with Guan Buping. Guan Buping's injuries had only just healed and he was able to walk again, so he wanted to go out to handle a case. Bao Sanniang naturally refused, and the two argued and bickered, making Pei Qian so envious that his eyes turned into lemon shapes.

Who knew that a large army would attack from outside at this moment? Bao Sanniang never expected that Lu Ningchuan would pull off such a move.

The matter is still under investigation, so how dare he lead troops to besiege the Jingye Division?

Has he gone mad?

To be precise, he died.

Lu Ningchuan, controlled by the puppeteer, was nothing more than a puppet. He looked no different from a living person, but he had lost his own thoughts.

But no one would have imagined that the governor of a prefecture would be controlled by someone like that.

Bao Sanniang walked out of the Jingyesi yamen, looked coldly at Lu Ningchuan, and said, "Prefect Lu, you should speak with evidence. The matter has not been investigated clearly yet, and it is still unclear who is right and who is wrong. Why are you jumping around so anxiously? Could it be that you are guilty?"

By this point, Bao Sanniang was pretty much convinced that Lu Ningchuan was behind it all.

She already trusted Xiao Se and the other two more, since they were subordinates of the Jingye Division and in the same system, making them easier to trust. However, to avoid being swayed by one side's opinion, Bao Sanniang decided to investigate first.

Lu Ningchuan was too eager and too crazy. He seemed to no longer care about being exposed. His current actions were somewhat insane, as if he wanted to use force to forcibly reverse right and wrong.

"Resisting investigation? Looks like you're also an accomplice of the rebels! Guards, seize you!"

Archers held the line, swordsmen and shieldmen advanced, and spearmen provided support. The group moved towards Bao Sanniang. If Bao Sanniang dared to make a move, the archers behind her would unleash a barrage of arrows.

When Lin Yi arrived and saw this scene, he couldn't help but complain about that Master Guishan. He was indeed good at letting tigers return to the mountains. It would have been better to kill him outside the city before. Now he still has to kill him, and he's making such a fuss.

At that moment, Lin Yi did not want to kill innocent people indiscriminately. He charged directly into the army formation. He was so fast that the soldiers did not have time to react before Lin Yi arrived in front of Lu Ningchuan.

Lu Ningchuan clearly did not expect that someone would be so bold as to charge straight into the army formation. Wasn't he afraid of dying in there?

But he clearly didn't have much time to think. Lin Yi swiftly brought down his knife, and Lu Ningchuan's head fell to the ground. Lin Yi then set the head on fire, burning it to ashes before stopping.

That's it?

What divine retribution?

I didn't feel anything at all!

This time, Gui Shan didn't come out to stop them either. All the county soldiers were dumbfounded. Lin Yi took the opportunity to unleash his Tiger Roar and shouted, "Lu Ningchuan is the real village massacrer. He turned black into white, tricked the Jingye Division into investigating the disappearance of people in Guyue Village, and used the lives of the entire village to frame a Jingye Division constable. Do you soldiers want to serve such a person?"

The situation took an astonishing turn, leaving the county soldiers completely bewildered.

They had always listened to Lu Ningchuan, and now that Lu Ningchuan had been killed, they were somewhat at a loss.

Among the crowd were some of Lu Ningchuan's personal guards. Seeing Lu Ningchuan killed, they naturally rushed over to seek revenge, risking their lives. Lin Yi showed no mercy, raising his blade and beheading the men as easily as chopping melons and vegetables. He also returned the arrows that were shot at him without missing a beat. In an instant, nearly a hundred people were killed or wounded.

Seeing how fierce Lin Yi was, the soldiers lost their will to fight him. Several of the leading centurions quickly put down their weapons and resolved the conflict with Lin Yi.

Lin Yi was also aware of his own identity and knew that it was not appropriate for him to stay here for too long. Moreover, the trouble had only just begun after he killed Lu Ningchuan.

The vast Xingsha County is now in a state of leaderlessness. In the past, when people rebelled and killed the county magistrate, they usually took over the reins themselves. But Lin Yi didn't really rebel; he killed someone and ran away, leaving a group of people looking at each other in bewilderment.

Bao Sanniang, worried about internal strife, stepped forward and said, "We, the Jingye Division, will investigate the matter impartially and get to the bottom of who committed the massacre. All commanders, please stabilize your troops first and make sure there is no further trouble at this time."

To be honest, only these soldiers can cause trouble right now. If the county soldiers don't cause trouble, the city won't be in chaos. But if someone among the county soldiers develops inappropriate thoughts, the trouble could be quite serious.

At this moment, in the courtyard of the prefectural governor's mansion, the eyes of the skull hidden in the soil gleamed with furious flames.

From the puppet's perspective, it can see the person who killed its puppet.

If it weren't for this man, it could have used Lu Ningchuan as a puppet to cause even more trouble. If it could have caused a conflict between the Jingye Division and the county soldiers, resulting in more casualties, it would have achieved its goal.

Now nothing has been accomplished. Xiao Se is not dead, nor are the people from the Jingye Division. Hasn't it all been for nothing?

It seems that to achieve our goal, we must first kill this mysterious man in black. He is probably Xiao Se's mysterious bodyguard. To kill Xiao Se, we must first kill him.

With time running out, it seems that only it can take action itself.

The skeleton walked out of the courtyard, and a loud cry of alarm immediately rang out from the prefectural governor's mansion, but soon the cry of alarm turned into a scream of agony.

Before long, the skeleton had sculpted a body for itself out of flesh and blood. The skin and flesh looked no different from the real thing, and its appearance was exactly the same as Lin Yi's.

It had used a puppet to spy on Lin Yi and Xiao Se's interactions and knew that Lin Yi was Xiao Se's sworn brother.

With its disguise, as long as one is careful, Xiao Se certainly won't recognize it.

Besides, the real Lin Yi should still be on the run right now and couldn't possibly be in Xingsha City, so it doesn't need to worry about being exposed.

Xiao Se was off guard, so Lin Yi had a way to secretly assassinate him. Once Xiao Se was dead, everything would be safe.

The conflict between the King of Liang and the Emperor is fierce, which will inevitably cause unrest in the border army. At that time, their army will advance unimpeded and, if they can break through the Yangtze River, they will be able to destroy the country, exterminate the race, and unify the world!

After donning fresh flesh and blood, he found a suitable set of clothes, covered his face, and left.

Xiao Se is nowhere to be found now, but things are almost settled, and he will reappear eventually.

I need to find a secluded cabin to stay in temporarily, pretending that I have infiltrated back into Star Sand City, which will naturally increase my credibility.

This is the detail of a professional undercover agent.

These kinds of houses are usually found in the south of the city. Once you've taken a liking to one, you can simply kill the original owner and bury him. It's very convenient.

As luck would have it, when he arrived in the southern part of the city, he immediately took a liking to a small house. The environment was quiet and there were hardly any other houses around.

There seemed to be someone inside, and their breathing seemed quite weak; they were probably a woman living alone at home.

"It's just bad luck that you ran into me, you're really unlucky."

He grinned wickedly and pushed open the courtyard gate.

Even though he had just killed someone, he couldn't help but want to kill again.

But when you push open the gate to the courtyard, the situation inside is rather strange.

He sensed there was only one person inside, but there were four girls. When he pushed open the door, four pairs of eyes stared straight at him...

Chapter 195 Why I Didn't

What is the scariest nightmare?

That's when life was peaceful, and then someone appeared who was capable of destroying everything beautiful.

That is the leader of the Hundred Ghosts Sect, Thousand Illusion Ghost Princess, also known as Thousand Illusion Venerable.

The name "Qianhuan" seems to suggest that this demon princess is skilled in transformation or illusion, but in fact, it refers to her ever-changing personality.

She has only one face; she looks innocent and cute, weak and easily bullied, but you'll never know what kind of devil is hidden beneath that lovely face.

Sometimes, she is tyrannical, killing anyone she sees and devouring any ghost she encounters, whether they are close friends or enemies.

Sometimes she is kind; even if someone in the sect accidentally offends her, she will treat them gently.

Sometimes, she would burn incense and pray to Buddha, or lament the passing of spring and autumn, and tend to her flowers and plants. Other times, she would suddenly abuse and kill all the flowers, plants, cats, and dogs she had raised.

This person can switch back and forth between extreme evil and extreme good, but no one can predict what kind of personality they will have when they meet them.

Within the Hundred Ghosts Sect, there were those who wanted to betray, but all the betrayers died.

Rebellion is even more impossible, as Qianhuan has countless clones, each of which is a top-tier Ghost King, some of whom can even rival the First Rank.

But she alone can make the Hundred Ghosts Sect the strongest among the demonic sects, so who would dare to betray her?

He Dong didn't know how she cultivated, but it was as if she suddenly appeared and became the leader of the Hundred Ghosts Sect, and became invincible overnight.

Over the years, no one in the Hundred Ghosts Sect dared to approach her. Too many people had died at her hands. Only Lin Yi was a miracle; he had been by the sect leader's side for more than ten years and was still alive and well.

Outrageous.

Among the Hundred Ghosts Sect, there is only one person who can frighten He Dong, and that is the Thousand Illusion Ghost Princess.

So when she appeared at his doorstep and smiled as she uttered the name Xue Ji, He Dong was already numb.

Some ghosts are alive, but she is already dead.

Facing other top-tier experts, He Dong might still have the slightest thought of escaping, even if he couldn't escape. But facing Qianhuan Guiji was a different story.

He Dongsheng had no intention of resisting. This person's mastery of ghost arts was more ferocious than any ghost, and no ghost could play tricks on her.

If you just accept your death honestly, it might not be so painful.
