I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

"You've been by my side day and night, yet you know nothing of my secrets. I know perfectly well what Lin Yi did in the Hundred Ghosts Sect."

"Perhaps this is why Lin Yi wants to escape from you?"

Thousand Illusion Ghost Princess: "..."

She remained silent for a moment before speaking softly, "Xue Ji, have you forgotten that besides killing you, I have countless other ways to make you suffer more than if your soul were to be scattered?"

He Dong: "..."

Oh right, has she forgotten that this woman is the leader of the Hundred Ghosts Sect?

Even within the Demonic Sect, she is considered the most ruthless. Why do I feel that since I'm already doomed, I don't need to be afraid of such a terrifying person?

"I apologize, Sect Master, for my rudeness."

He Dong's speed in admitting defeat is also world-class.

Thousand Illusion Ghost Princess was in no mood to argue with her; she was focused on the situation outside.

When Lin Yi heard from Master Guishan that he had come to protect the Demon Emperor's daughter, he was somewhat skeptical. Not long ago, Master Guishan had mentioned that he had some grudges with the former Demon Emperor.

When the words "grudge" and "resentment" are put together, the emphasis is usually on the resentment rather than the gratitude. Lin Yi, of course, only felt that Gui Shan had come to seek revenge, and he wasn't sure if saying it now was just polite talk.

As for Bai Lianxian, Lin Yi just thought she was too silly.

If you're going to fight, then fight. What kind of move is it to blind yourself upon entering the arena?

She is clearly a powerful demon king, but she always seems unreliable. Could that be considered a special ability?

"Gentlemen, please stop arguing. Since we're all on the same side, why don't you sit down and have a proper talk?"

Lin Yi didn't want to see Gui Shan Daoist and Bai Lian Xian fight, because then Lin Yi wouldn't know who to help.

Master Guishan looked at Lin Yi and then recognized him as the promising young talent he had previously admired. No wonder he ran so fast earlier; it turned out he had heard him say he was looking for him.

It's no wonder Lin Yi misunderstood; he said it on purpose. After all, he is a human, and although he doesn't belong to a sect, he still has a certain status and position among humans, so he has to be careful about the impact of his actions.

If he were to openly say that he wanted to repay a debt of gratitude and protect the Demon Emperor's daughter, it would be difficult for him to save face. That's why he used the excuse of having some grudges with the Demon Emperor to come looking for Lin Yi and Wang Jinxuan. However, he didn't expect that the person he would happen to meet was Lin Yi.

"Good lad, you're really something."

Knowing that he was Lin Yi, Guishan Daoist was even more satisfied with him.

Bai Lianxian also came to Lin Yi's side, took his hand and said, "My brother is certainly good."

Lin Yi: "..."

I shouldn't have called her "sister" back then. Now Bai Lianxian is so shameless, he just calls her "brother."

Damn it!

"you……"

Seeing the female demon and Lin Yi behaving intimately, clearly not like siblings, the Taoist Guishan couldn't help but advise Lin Yi: "You have a bright future ahead of you, so be careful not to associate too much with demons."

The relationship between the higher-ups of humans and demons is not very bad, but no one will get too close to other races, and even if they do, they will not let anyone know.

"Those who are not of our kind will surely have different hearts"—this saying is not just a joke. Right now, the two races are at peace, but if war were to break out, those who maintain good relations with other races would certainly not be trusted.

Who can guarantee that he won't abandon the greater good for personal feelings?

Nobody dares to gamble on something like this.

Once you're labeled like that, it's very difficult to get rid of it for the rest of your life.

Even friends would act this way, let alone when they've gone to the point of being like god-sisters and god-brothers.

Bai Lianxian was displeased upon hearing this and immediately retorted, "You old geezer, you're just a lousy person who's always up to no good. How Lin Yi wants to get along with me is his own business, and it's none of your place to tell him what to do!"

"Ha, I think you're just taking advantage of his youth and deliberately trying to deceive him. You, a demon king, do you really think you can be a true friend to him?"

"Why not!"

Bai Lianxian absolutely loathed that old geezer; he was ugly and always thought the worst of others.

"I just like him because he's good-looking, so why can't I be his friend?"

Seeing that the human and the demon were arguing fiercely and might even start fighting at any moment, Lin Yi quickly stepped in and acted as a peacemaker.

"Both of you, stop arguing. Senior Guishan, you can rest assured that although I am friends with the demon race, I still have my limits. Senior Bai, Senior Guishan is only concerned about the younger generation. Please don't take it to heart."

"I told you, call me Sister Fairy."

Lin Yi: "..."

Seeing Lin Yi remain silent, Bai Lianxian didn't continue the commotion, but simply stood beside him, which was also a warning to Gui Shan.

If Gui Shan wants to harm Lin Yi, he'll have to get past him first.

Seeing this, Gui Shan was too lazy to argue with this shallow female demon anymore, and turned to Lin Yi and said, "Since you know what's going on, I won't say anything more. I'm here today mainly for Wang Jinxuan. Let her come out and see me. Don't worry, I won't do anything to her."

Lin Yi nodded, then turned and called out, "Come out, Jin Xuan."

Wang Jinxuan had naturally woken up long ago. Although she was a bit carefree, she was still capable of sleeping even with all the clanging and banging and flames outside.

Besides, there's also Xiaocao providing wake-up calls, so even if she wanted to sleep, she wouldn't be able to stay asleep for long.

Hearing Lin Yi's call, she naturally came out quickly.

Just now in the house, she only heard Guishan Daoren's voice, but did not know what he looked like. Now that she saw him, Wang Jinxuan was also stunned.

This old man is uglier in a truly unique way.

"Greetings to both of you seniors."

Wang Jinxuan dared not act rashly in this situation. He bowed very respectfully to the two senior figures and stood obediently to the side.

Gui Shan stroked his beard, sized up Wang Jinxuan for a long time, and then said quietly, "He doesn't resemble your mother at all."

Wang Jinxuan: "..."

It doesn't look like a ghost at all!

This is truly unconventional.

Bai Lianxian, standing to the side, nodded in agreement, saying, "They really don't look alike. The Demon Emperor is much prettier."

Wang Jinxuan: "..."

Damn it, I'm so angry!

Isn't she pretty?

Wang Jinxuan was quite confident in her appearance; if not unparalleled, she was at least beautiful and charming. How could she not be angry at Bai Lianxian's evaluation of her?

Unfortunately, she didn't dare to get angry with the seniors, so she forced a smile and asked, "Do both of you know my parents? What kind of people are they?"

Wang Jinxuan also wanted to know about the Demon Emperor. To this day, she still didn't know whether the Demon Emperor was her father or her mother. If he was her father, then who was her mother? Conversely, if he was her mother, then who was her father?

"I only know your mother, I don't know who your father is. In fact, back then no one knew that the Demon Emperor actually had a daughter."

At first, Guishan Daoren was somewhat skeptical about the fact that the Demon Emperor had a child, and when he heard that it was a half-demon, he found it even more outrageous.

How could a demon king, with his extraordinary talent and lofty ambitions, possibly be interested in humans, let alone have children with them?

However, the rumors were rampant and quite detailed, so Guishan had no choice but to go out and see for himself, thinking it better to believe it than not.

Since he had nothing better to do anyway, he figured he might as well wander around.

Even after meeting Wang Jinxuan, he still harbored doubts.

It's difficult for half-demons to recognize him, and even Master Guishan couldn't confirm Wang Jinxuan's identity. However, since everyone believes this, and he doesn't have any groundbreaking evidence, he has no choice but to keep it to himself for the time being.

Unexpectedly, Bai Lianxian also felt that Wang Jinxuan did not seem like the daughter of the Demon Emperor.

Just as I was about to offer a compliment, I suddenly realized that Bai Lianxian hadn't even taken off her black cloth belt.

Chao, how do you know she's not as pretty as the Demon Emperor if you haven't even seen her?

However, to be fair, it is true.

"Your mother is the Demon Queen, the most talented and outstanding among the demons. Her cultivation surpasses all others in the world, and no one can rival her."

However, although your mother is the Demon Queen, she has no intention of annihilating the human race because she considers the demon race supreme. On the contrary, she is very friendly to the human race.

"You even guided my cultivation back then. It's because of that kindness that I've come down from the mountain to find you. I can't guarantee you'll find the Demon Emperor's Secret Realm, but at least I can protect you from being harmed by thieves."

Bai Lianxian hadn't expected Guishan Daoist to have such a high opinion of the Demon Emperor. Just moments ago, he had acted as if humans and demons were irreconcilable enemies, but now, when talking about the Demon Emperor, he looked on with longing.

That old geezer, could he have fallen for the Demon Emperor back then?

Chapter 205 Location of the Secret Realm

Lin Yi was quite interested when Gui Shan mentioned the Demon Emperor.

Having been in this era for a long time, the Demon Emperor often appears as a background character in the stories he hears.

For example, when Guan Buping talks about the decline of the Jingye Division, he mentions the Demon Emperor's Rebellion. The Jingye Division went from being a very powerful official organization to being bullied by demons, ghosts, sects, and the government. All of this was because of the Demon Emperor's Rebellion.

The tragedy of Guan Buping and Qu Jing's sect was also based on the background of the Demon Emperor's chaos. When demons wreaked havoc, they were affected and their entire sect was wiped out.

From Lin Yi's perspective, the Demon Emperor was naturally a top-tier boss. He just never expected that one day he would become the Demon Emperor's daughter's bodyguard, running around everywhere to protect the Demon Emperor's child.

In fact, when Wang An made the request, Lin Yi had also considered this issue. Those who are not of our kind will surely have different hearts. If Wang Jinxuan were to grow into a new demon emperor in the future and stir up bloodshed in the human world again, he would definitely have to take responsibility.

However, in the end, Lin Yi still chose to help Wang Jinxuan.

Out of consideration for our friendship, I decided to do it.

So, it seems he and the Demon Emperor are actually quite destined for each other.

He was also very curious about what the Demon Emperor was like.

Judging from Gui Shan's words, this demon queen must be a very charming female demon.

Lin Yi then asked, "Since she is friendly to humans, what is her purpose in stirring up trouble?"

Bai Lianxian answered the question first.

"The Demon Emperor is friendly to the human race and cannot bear to see the two races killing each other, but he also cannot bear to see the demon race being bullied by the human race. That is why he raised an army to revolt, just to establish a demon kingdom that is on equal footing with humans."

I know you are not a demon, and you probably don't know much about the living conditions of demons. Since ancient times, it has been quite difficult for demons to cultivate. Only after transforming into human form can they comprehend the Dao of Heaven.

The demon race absorbs the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into their own bodies, making their physical bodies excellent treasures. Human cultivators, when refining pills, weapons, and talismans, prefer to find materials from demons. Some cultivators even feel that it is prestigious to find demons as servants.

For a long time, even though the demon race hid deep in the mountains, they could not escape the oppression of the human race. If it weren't for the demon emperor becoming the banner of the demon race, the current situation of the two races being separated would not exist.
