I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

He Dong: "..."

I guess he probably dislikes you the most...

Through spending time with Lin Yi, He Dong also came to understand Lin Yi's personality.

Although he suffered from amnesia, the personality he displayed after that amnesia is probably the most authentic side of Lin Yi.

He is kind, warm-hearted, and full of controversy. He hates any behavior that uses power to oppress others. He often does things that sacrifice his own interests to help others without asking for anything in return. Moreover, he is ruthless and decisive in dealing with bad people, showing no mercy whatsoever.

This shows that he truly hates evil. Fortunately, although she is a bit skin-peeling and greedy, she doesn't like to do anything immoral. She is selective in killing people. Otherwise, with Lin Yi's current cultivation level, he could probably kill her to practice his skills.

Therefore, Lin Yi, in that state, might not only dislike the Hundred Ghosts Sect.

But she dared not say that aloud. Even as a ghost, one must have some will to survive, otherwise, there will be no chance of reincarnation.

"Perhaps he wanted to see the world. Although he has been busy and on the go during this time, he has been very happy."

He Dong was forcibly making excuses for Lin Yi. He was away from the oppressive environment of the Hundred Ghosts Sect and surrounded by girls. How could he not be happy?

It's hard to believe she can spout such nonsense. Qianhuan Guiji didn't deny it and sighed, "I know he's been very happy lately. After all, I've been with you for several days now. I've never seen him laugh like that in the Hundred Ghosts Sect."

He Dong: "..."

What a terrifying horror story of the year!

They were actually being followed by a first-grade cultivator for several days...

With the abilities of the Thousand Illusion Demon Princess, it is indeed not difficult.

So, did the sect leader find out about her kissing Lin Yi?

Thinking of the rumors circulating within the sect, He Dong felt panicked, as if he had secretly run away from the sect leader.

So, will she be able to see Lin Yi alive today?

At this moment, Lin Yi was still searching for Xiao Se.

After storming the enemy ranks and killing Lu Ningchuan, he temporarily quelled the chaos. He didn't bother with the remaining mess and immediately went back to find Xiao Se.

At the same time, he also used the intertwined branches to connect with Xiao Se.

"Everything is settled; you may return."

Not long after, Xiao Se replied: "There is a fork in the road in the cave, and there are dead souls. Search for them."

This means that they accidentally discovered a side passage in the underground secret passage, sensed the presence of the dead, and went to find the source.

Lin Yi was speechless. What kind of time is this to be running around like this!

They were probably just bored, and most of the dead wouldn't have a strength of more than rank three, so Xiao Se was relatively safe.

But Lin Yi felt she wasn't steady enough, so he quickly found Xiao Se's house, entered the tunnel, and chased after her.

By now, Xiao Se and Wu Yun had gone quite a distance.

Actually, there wasn't a fork in the passageway. Rather, they sensed the presence of a ghost halfway through and found it unusual. Since they had nothing else to do, Xiao Se had Wu Yun dig a hole, and they ended up in another secret passage.

Coincidentally, there was not only one secret passage beneath the city, but the two passages were also very close to each other.

Both the human and the cat were very curious about what was down there, so they tacitly explored in one direction.

The aura of the dead also emanated from this direction. The man and the cat walked to the end and discovered a secret room.

Upon closer inspection, the secret chamber was filled with bones, yet there was no stench emanating from it. Xiao Se looked at this horrifying scene, and anger flashed in his eyes.

Who is this person so cruel? There are at least a hundred corpses at a glance.

Moreover, they were not scattered randomly on the ground, but were carefully arranged in various ways, and their deaths were also different, some by hanging, some by sword...

"This is a hellish ukiyo-e, what a vicious method."

Hellish Ukiyo-e is a strange and mysterious art. Legend has it that there are eighteen levels of hell in the underworld, representing the most terrifying places in the world, including the Hell of Tongue-Pulling and the Hell of Boiling Oil...

Based on these legends, some heretics came up with the idea of ​​artificially simulating the eighteen levels of hell, hoping to communicate with hell and obtain incredible power.

The idea was outrageous, but what's even more outrageous is that they actually did it and managed to communicate with hell.

Xiao Se didn't know what the consequences would be. He had read many books, but it was impossible for him to write everything in them. He only knew that someone had actually made a Hellish Ukiyo-e, and the book only mentioned it briefly, without saying what happened after communicating with Hell, only that they suffered divine retribution.

This secret technique thus became the most evil and vicious secret technique.

It seems that someone else also knows this secret technique and has set up a hellish ukiyo-e here. In general, this thing can be regarded as an array, and these corpses are the materials for setting up the array.

Based on this line of thinking, there should be a key element in the array within the secret chamber.

Xiao Se observed carefully again, and after some calculation, he realized that the key to the formation was in the southeast corner, where there should have been no corpses, but now there were seven or eight corpses piled up like a mountain of corpses.

This doesn't belong to any of the eighteen levels of hell; it could only be a disguise created by the array's creator to conceal the array's core...

Chapter 197 What a tragic man!

Xiao Se carefully took out gloves from his cloud bag and put them on. He then moved the corpses of the men and women aside one by one. Sure enough, there was an altar-like structure beneath the pile of corpses.

It is black all over, square in shape, with some strange dark patterns on it that are not noticeable unless you look closely.

This thing looks a bit like a big box. Xiao Se knocked on it and found it was empty.

"Is there any danger?"

Xiao Se asked the dark clouds.

Wu Yun is quite perceptive; she asked her for multiple insurance policies.

Wu Yun said, "There is only the aura of the dead here, but the dead have all dissipated."

In other words, there are no ghosts, so you can cause trouble without worry.

Xiao Se felt relieved. With one punch, the wooden box quickly cracked open, revealing a large hole. Xiao Se then pried at the hole a few times, and the box completely broke open, revealing what was inside.

But inside there was only a piece of dry wood, which looked somewhat like a willow tree.

Xiao Se took it out and looked at it. For a moment, he felt that the wood was somewhat similar to his own intertwined tree.

But Xiao Se didn't think much of it; there were countless willow trees in the world, not just one.

There can't be just one willow tree spirit; it's just a coincidence!

Xiao Se could probably tell that this piece of wood was the remains of a willow tree spirit. Judging from how withered and decayed its remains were, it was possible that it had been ambushed and had its power drained.

Could it be that the Hellish Ukiyo-e prints have such effects, which is why even the secret records compiled by the Prince's Palace do not describe them in detail? Perhaps it's to prevent others from imitating them!

Throughout history, practitioners of various dynasties have never lacked demonic arts aimed at plunder.

Everyone knows that getting something for nothing will end badly, but the allure of getting something for nothing is undeniable!

It is impossible to completely eradicate the practice of appropriating the cultivation of others without proper cultivation.

There are still many heretical practitioners in the cultivation world who use the practice of absorbing primordial yin and yang as their method. This is similar to ghosts sucking human energy, and even the fact that people eat grains and various kinds of meat is essentially a form of plunder.

Although they are essentially the same, their nature is quite different.

Therefore, any demonic technique that can plunder the cultivation of others will be resisted by the entire cultivation world. Even the four major demonic sects dare not actually practice such techniques.

It's no wonder that the person who set up this Hellish Ukiyo-e painting wanted to hide it. Perhaps after some time, the aura of the dead here will dissipate, or those who lack knowledge will not recognize it as a Hellish Ukiyo-e painting and may not discover its secrets.

So, who exactly committed such a heinous act?

Xiao Se thought for a moment, and realized that the answer might lie at the other end of the secret passage.

She wrapped the withered willow wood in cloth, took it in her hand, and was about to explore the other side when she happened to run into Lin Yi who was rushing over.

"Did you just dig this side road? Why are you running around everywhere?"

Hearing the reprimand in Lin Yi's words, Xiao Se felt a warmth in her heart. Lin Yi was scolding her because he cared about her, and she actually quite liked this kind of scolding with concern. However, she still obediently said, "I was just curious... Big brother, I was wrong, don't be angry!"

"Hey, I said stop, stop, don't be angry, what's with this 'don't be angry' nonsense? You're acting all girly. Second brother, let me tell you, a man must have masculinity, just like me, understand?"

Xiao Se: "..."

She inadvertently started acting cute towards Lin Yi, not realizing that from Lin Yi's perspective, she was the younger brother, and that what she said did sound rather strange.

But seeing Lin Yi's obviously frightened expression, she felt an inexplicable urge to laugh, but she managed to suppress it and said, "I understand."

Lin Yi persisted, saying, "Be masculine, be masculine! Speak louder."

"I see!"

"Very good, very energetic!"

Lin Yi patted Xiao Se's shoulder forcefully, while frantically telling himself, "This is normal brotherly affection. He's just a little effeminate; how could it be acting like a spoiled child?"

"By the way, what did you find up ahead?"

Lin Yi noticed the cloth bag that Xiao Se was carrying; it was so large that it was quite eye-catching.

"This is it, a piece of willow wood, it looks like the remains of a willow tree spirit..."

Xiao Se then described in detail the scene inside the secret room and explained his reasoning. As he spoke, he opened the cloth bag, showing Lin Yi the piece of dead wood.

Lin Yi's nose had already caught the scent; yes, this was Mr. Liu.

It was originally his reserve food, but it was killed by someone else. Now it seems that he was ambushed. The most likely person to be the one who was killed is Wu De.

However, Wu De had disappeared for a long time, and Lin Yi had not been able to find him.

Lin Yi was too busy with other things, which allowed the man to take advantage of the situation.

Hearing that more than a hundred people had died inside, Lin Yi was secretly annoyed. He wished he had killed Wu De first.

Unfortunately, he was always a little short of strength. At that time, his Taoist skills were not profound and his cultivation was shallow. He had the strength but no substance. When the enemies scattered, he could only chase one at a time.

After Xiao Se showed Lin Yi the secret room, Lin Yi became even angrier.

He dug a large pit in the secret chamber and buried the bodies on the spot. As for the secret chamber itself, he didn't know if there were still people above it, so Lin Yi didn't dare to disturb it.

He and Xiao Se shared the same idea: perhaps they could find the murderer by following the secret passage.

Lin Yi never expected that Wu De and Mr. Liu, whom he couldn't find before, would find clues by chance through the secret passage.

The exit of this secret passage must be inextricably linked to Wu De.

The two walked in the darkness for a long time until they finally came to an end. A hidden door appeared in front of them. They pushed it open and found that it was a cellar with some food stored inside.

The two went out through the cellar exit and heard a man talking: "Are you still thinking about him? Are you angry that I hit him that day? Why have you been so distracted every day since he left? Do you even know whose wife you are!"

Ah this...
