I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

He Dong only prayed that Lin Yi wouldn't come back. Who knew what kind of personality the Thousand Illusion Ghost Princess was today?

Is it the evil side or the good side?

"We're all old acquaintances, why don't we sit down and talk?"

"Yes, Sect Master."

Seeing how obedient He Dong was, Wang Jinxuan and Xiao Cao knew that the situation was very bad, so they didn't dare to say anything and could only stand aside like dead men.

"I can tell you're in a hurry."

Qianhuan Guiji smiled and said, He Dong's heart tightened, and then she said, "You don't need to be afraid of me. If I wanted to kill you, I would have done it long ago."

If someone else had said this, He Dong would have been relieved, but hearing it from the sect leader still made her afraid.

There's no other reason than that no one can fathom this person's ability to switch between keeping their word and breaking it.

"Are you worried that Lin Yi will come back at this time?"

He's dead!

Even though he was trembling with fear, He Dong still managed to say those words.

The Hundred Ghosts Sect not only has methods to torture people, but they are also skilled at torturing ghosts.

He Dong still said it, even though it would offend Qianhuan Guiji.

Is this love?

The Thousand Illusion Ghost Princess looked curious and said, "Is it because of love that you still defend Lin Yi even though you're terrified?"

"No, I'm just telling the truth. Your apprentice, Lin Yi, is dead."

"Ok, I know."

The Thousand Illusions Ghost Princess waved her hand dismissively and said, "I'm asking you, is this love?"

She was clearly getting impatient.

He Dong felt a tremor in her heart. Even though Qianhuan Guiji did not release any aura, she still felt immense pressure.

But she didn't know the other party's purpose, so she didn't dare to answer easily.

Seeing that things were getting out of hand, Wang Jinxuan quickly interjected, saying, "Of course it's love!"

She knew she shouldn't interrupt. This mysterious girl could frighten He Dong so much, and she even mentioned Lin Yi. There was clearly a story behind this. But if He Dong didn't answer, something bad might happen!

Although she wanted to take his place, she didn't want He Dong to die like this, after all, He Dong had been taking care of her and Xiao Cao for so long.

Wang Jinxuan's interruption successfully attracted Qianhuan Guiji's attention.

She looked at Wang Jinxuan with great interest and said, "And you, are you worried about her because of love?"

Ah this...

This question stumped Wang Jinxuan: Can girls still have love for each other?

Besides, they are rivals for love!

If Lin Yi hadn't been so devoted to He Dong, her apprentice would have had many more opportunities.

But this big shot didn't seem very patient. Wang Jinxuan thought for a moment and quickly replied, "This is more like friendship, which is different from romantic love."

"There are many kinds of love?"

"Of course, there is parental love, sibling love, spousal love, and teacher-student love."

He Dong couldn't help but mentally complain as he listened to Wang Jinxuan and Qianhuan Guiji chatting so happily.

Is this what they mean by "a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger"?

I wonder what Wang Jinxuan will think when he finds out that this person is the infamous leader of the Hundred Ghosts Sect.

Just thinking about it probably makes my legs go weak!

Judging from the current situation, they seem to be having good luck today. The sect leader's personality should fall into the kind half, so they may not be in that much danger.

He Dong felt a little more relaxed, but then he heard Qianhuan Guiji suddenly change her tone.

"Parental love, sibling love, spousal love, teacher-student love... There are so many kinds of love. It seems you all have them. Why is it that you can all love others and be loved by others, while I have nothing?"

hiss……

Oh no!

This is going to be murderous!

Although the information may not be accurate, there are rumors in the Hundred Ghosts Sect that when the sect leader is being ruthless, he will say something like this: "Why don't I have it?"

When I see flowers, I sometimes think they are beautiful and take great care of them. But one day I suddenly feel that I am not as good as the flowers in some way, so I trample the flowers into the soil...

It's a miracle that Lin Yi is still alive.

He Dong didn't think she could replicate this miracle; probably, all three of them were going to die...

She never expected this day to come so suddenly. She didn't even have time to say goodbye to Lin Yi properly. Thinking about the terrible scene Lin Yi would see when he returned, He Dong couldn't help but feel sorry for him.

Just then, the courtyard gate was suddenly pushed open, and a masked man walked in. Judging from the way he walked, he was very arrogant.

His build was very similar to Lin Yi's, but He Dong recognized him at a glance as not being Lin Yi.

Is this guy here to die?

Chapter 196 Hellish Ukiyo-e

The word "fate" is vague and elusive. Even the most accomplished cultivators would not dare to claim that they have seen through fate, only that some factors can influence it.

Character traits such as personality and morality may not be immediately apparent, but they can determine one's fate at crucial moments.

Just like this skeleton monster, if it had known when to stop and returned home after finishing its task, it would have done a good job even though it didn't complete the mission perfectly. But it insisted on staying to kill Xiao Se before leaving, and then cleverly disguised itself as Lin Yi.

Coincidentally, it felt that it had to choose the southern part of the city to lie in wait, and it specifically picked a house that was suitable for hiding.

And sure enough, its thinking was very similar to Lin Yi's, so it actually found the house where Lin Yi was, but coincidentally, today was an auspicious day.

The atmosphere in the courtyard was a bit strange. He Dong had thought he was going to die and was quietly digging for his last words under the table when he came in, which immediately attracted the attention of Qianhuan Guiji.

With a wave of her hand, the veil covering the skeleton monster's face was immediately blown away by a gust of cold wind, revealing a face that was identical to Lin Yi's.

However, who is the Thousand Illusion Ghost Princess? This disguise can not fool her, let alone He Dong.

He exuded an intense aura of death, clearly not a normal person, yet he possessed the same appearance as Lin Yi and had even managed to find his way here. This was obviously malicious.

"How dare you, such a filthy thing, turn into this!"

The Thousand Illusion Ghost Princess was furious, feeling greatly insulted. In that instant, black energy surged behind her, and countless wronged souls and vengeful ghosts wailed within it.

"Bite it to death!"

With a wave of her hand, the Thousand Illusion Ghost Princess sent these vengeful spirits rushing towards Lin Yi, quickly engulfing him, with only mournful screams emanating from within.

He Dong was trembling with fear just looking at it.

The Thousand Illusion Demon Princess's move is called Ten Thousand Ghosts Devouring Souls.

It involves using countless ghosts to devour a person, skin, bones, and soul, bit by bit. The process is extremely cruel. Ghosts are not normally capable of feeling pain, but under the onslaught of countless ghosts, they will feel pain deep within their souls.

This is the cruelest way the Hundred Ghosts Sect tortures both humans and ghosts. Even the Thousand Illusion Ghost Princess doesn't usually like to use this method to torture people.

But this guy who came in got so angry just because he looked like Lin Yi. Thinking of the rumors that had circulated in the room before, He Dong couldn't help but feel a little jealous.

Lin Yi was the sect leader's disciple for so long, could he have already been completely taken advantage of?

Lin Yi's skill in flirting with her might have come from the experience he learned from the sect leader.

He Dong felt a pang of sadness.

She was wrong, but not entirely wrong either; Lin Yi's practical experience did indeed come from his master...

The Soul Devouring of Ten Thousand Ghosts lasted for a very long time, depending on the level of Thousand Illusion Ghost Princess's anger. Throughout the entire process, He Dong dared not make a sound, and Wang Jinxuan was also trembling while holding Xiao Cao.

After a long time, the black aura dissipated, and the Thousand Illusion Ghost Princess suddenly recovered from her dark state and transformed into a gentle and lovely girl.

"Now that we've got everyone here, we can continue our conversation."

He Dong: "..."

I feel like I've somehow escaped a major ordeal; I'm grateful for the gifts of nature.

Maybe this is just luck!

Generally speaking, after a sect leader kills someone and vents her emotions, she will enter a period of calm, during which time she is relatively safe.

Why do I say "relatively"? Because no one can be certain when a madman will have an episode, and there are occasional instances of consecutive episodes.

Seeing He Dong, Wang Jinxuan, and Xiao Cao all silent, Qianhuan Guiji looked sad again.

"Why are you all so afraid of me? Am I really that scary? Even Lin Yi, whom I've been so good to, still ran away from me..."

Aren't you scary? Don't you have any self-awareness?

He Dong was internally cursing, but hearing her words made him feel like he was having another episode, so he quickly explained, "Lin Yi doesn't want to run away from you, he just doesn't like the environment of the Hundred Ghosts Sect."

He Dong was trying her best to defend Lin Yi. Since the sect leader had come looking for him, Lin Yi would definitely meet with her. If a conflict broke out, it was hard to guarantee that the sect leader would still favor Lin Yi as before.

So she's trying to appease the sect leader here, hoping she'll get leniency next time.

Anyway, it seems she can't hide it anymore. She said before that the original Lin Yi was dead, but the sect leader clearly didn't believe her. If Wang Jinxuan hadn't intervened, she would be a corpse by now.

Wang Jinxuan was stunned when he heard the words "Hundred Ghosts Sect".

Good heavens, my master is from the Hundred Ghosts Sect?

Isn't this a heretical cult?

So who is this big shot in front of us?

Are they here to clean house?

Thanks to the novels he had read, Wang Jinxuan had already imagined a grand drama unfolding in his mind.

Her handsome master and the girl in front of her seemed to have an ambiguous relationship, judging from their previous conversations.

The situation seems pretty bad right now, but this juicy gossip is really exciting!

Hearing He Dong's words, Qianhuan Guiji's mood improved slightly, but she still said with a hint of resentment, "If he doesn't like the Hundred Ghosts Sect, he can tell me. Why does he have to run away?"
