I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

With that single grab, Bai Lianxian made many things clear.

She glanced at Lin Yi again, her eyes full of meaning, which puzzled Lin Yi. What did she mean?

He touched my penis in front of me and stared at me. What does that mean?

Lin Yi was completely baffled, but Bai Lianxian didn't do anything rash. She just smiled sweetly and said to Xiao Se, "If you want to call me sister, of course you can. I really like a beauty like you."

Xiao Se: "..."

What a terrifying female demon.

Seeing Xiao Se's frightened expression, Bai Lianxian didn't linger. With a light laugh, she turned into a wisp of white smoke and quickly disappeared before everyone's eyes.

Everyone thought she had gone far away, but Bai Lianxian had actually gone underground and was carefully lying low.

She knew something was wrong with Lin Yi, but there was something even more suspicious in Lin Yi's room.

Her senses were very sharp; from the very beginning, she sensed the hidden danger. However, Lin Yi seemed completely unaware of this, and not knowing who the other party was, she dared not make any rash moves.

Then there's Lin Yi's "sworn brother." Bai Lianxian sensed a conspiracy the moment she saw him.

All these troubles surrounded Lin Yi, it's really hard to believe he can still live such a comfortable life.

Bai Lianxian didn't reveal the truth. Some secrets are best left unsaid; if spoken, they might be overheard.

That kind of Taoist technique isn't something that can be used simply by blocking out sound.

After Bai Lianxian left, Lin Yi and Xiao Se exchanged a few words, and then Lin Yi took Wang Jinxuan to the study.

Firstly, to avoid being alone with the fake He Dong, and secondly, to have some heart-to-heart talks with Wang Jinxuan.

He now truly understands the meaning of "a teacher for a day is a father for life." Since he has taken Wang Jinxuan as his disciple, he has an inescapable responsibility towards him.

"Was your practice today successful?"

"Everything is fine. In about half a month, I may be able to break through to the eighth rank."

Wang Jinxuan had never cultivated at such a fast pace before. Sure enough, believing in his master brought him longevity. He practiced twice a day, morning and evening, and never slacked off for a single day.

Despite her daily busy schedule, her cultivation level steadily improved.

She thought Lin Yi would be very happy with this speed, but to her surprise, Lin Yi's face immediately fell.

The Demon Emperor, a man of extraordinary talent who dominated the world, gave birth to a descendant with such poor talent?

How bad must the father's genes be to lead to this result?

Lin Yi couldn't help but sigh inwardly, but still spoke words of praise: "It seems that you haven't slacked off during this busy period of time. Your teacher is very pleased."

"It's all thanks to my master's excellent teaching."

Lin Yi: "..."

Perhaps he shouldn't judge Wang Jinxuan by Xiao Se's and his own standards. After all, one of them was incredibly talented, and the other had abundant resources from a young age. Although Xiao Se was indeed a genius, Wang Jinxuan wasn't that bad either.

At least, she has high emotional intelligence.

"Alright, I won't waste any more pleasantries. Let's get down to business. There's a rumor that if you sacrifice yourself on the fifteenth of September, you can open the entrance to the secret realm. This rumor is outrageous, but quite a few people believe it."

Neither Guishan Daoist nor Bai Lianxian can be trusted. The only people you can trust now are yourself, including me. With your mortal eyes, you certainly can't see how someone can impersonate me.

Lin Yi specifically brought this up with Wang Jinxuan because of He Dong's lesson. If he hadn't had the Demon-Slaying Manual, he really wouldn't have discovered that He Dong had been replaced.

Therefore, in order to guard against this situation, he had to agree on a secret signal with Wang Jinxuan first.

"From now on, if you doubt my identity, or I doubt yours, we will need to use a secret code."

"it is good."

Wang Jinxuan had read about this plot in a storybook, and now that she was going to put it into practice, she was a little excited.

I wonder what kind of secret code my master, someone as capable as him, will come up with.

"Listen carefully, my code is..."

Lin Yi conjured a concealment talisman. Within the area enveloped by the talisman's light, everything spoken and every action performed would be hidden. Still feeling uneasy, he leaned close to Wang Jinxuan's ear and said, "Mine changes from odd to even. You need to answer by looking at the quadrant."

"Do you understand?"

After Lin Yi finished speaking, he stood up a little straighter, but Wang Jinxuan was still savoring the feeling of him speaking close to his ear. It was so exciting that his heart was beating faster.

Is this the master's temptation?

As for the secret code that Master mentioned, it's just one sentence, and it's quite easy to remember.

It's just a little strange that the chicken turns into lotus root but doesn't. What is this thing?

The fact that the sign is based on the quadrant makes it even more confusing.

"Master, this code is very strange!"

"It has to be a bit strange, so that it's hard to deduce the next sentence from the previous one."

"I see, Master is so thoughtful."

Wang Jinxuan silently memorized these two strange sentences, while Lin Yi laughed and said, "If you encounter someone other than me who can answer the code, that would be truly remarkable."

"Could there be another hidden meaning behind this code?"

Wang Jinxuan couldn't help but ponder this to himself, but Lin Yi didn't say anything more about it.

"Jinxuan, these next two days are the most dangerous time for you."

Lin Yi's expression turned serious, and Wang Jinxuan also sat up straight, not daring to be negligent in the slightest, and listened attentively to Lin Yi's teachings.

"If we find the secret realm in two days, you will be in even greater danger, but if you can survive this ordeal, you may be able to soar to great heights."

"A golden carp is no ordinary fish; I believe you will one day transform into a dragon. But remember, until you have the strength to soar to the heavens, never reveal your true power."

"I see."

Seeing how well-behaved Wang Jinxuan was, Lin Yi knew that she had experienced so much turmoil. Although she hadn't really suffered much under his protection, she had matured a lot.

However, there is one situation that Lin Yi has not yet mentioned.

If they don't find the hidden treasure in the treasure trove two days later...

Lin Yi had this guess in his mind, but he didn't say it out loud.

If his guess is true, then Wang Jinxuan is too pitiful; I wonder if she can bear it.

"Get some rest, your master is going to practice."

After encouraging Wang Jinxuan, Lin Yi left on his own.

He didn't prepare anything to protect Wang Jinxuan. If Guishan and Bai Lianxian were reliable, then Wang Jinxuan would have no use for these things.

If both Guishan Daoren and Bai Lianxian betray her, then her life-saving item will be useless.

Unless Lin Yi can give her a complete immortal artifact, nothing he gives her will work; it will only make her feel anxious.

It's better to encourage her to be optimistic and wait for the results in two days.

But Lin Yi himself cannot be optimistic; only when he has enough strength can he protect others.

Instead of going back to his room to keep He Dong company, he began practicing Qi cultivation in the courtyard.

……

Jingye Division, Bao Sanniang, and the others are still not resting.

She had originally planned to send someone to Guyue Village to investigate the hidden story behind Xiao Se and the Jingye Division's massacre of the village, but just as she was about to trigger it, someone else came to report that the entire prefectural governor's mansion had been wiped out.

None of the servants, including Lu Ningchuan's family, survived.

Everyone's flesh and blood had been completely looted, leaving only bones and hair with blood streaks. The scene was extremely gruesome, and even the old coroner vomited uncontrollably when he went to the scene.

Based on the scratches and depth of the marks left on the bone, it is likely that the perpetrator was the same person.

Moreover, given the horrific scene, the perpetrator was most likely a member of a demonic cult.

It's not so scary that members of the Demonic Sect wiped out an entire family; what's scary is that he wiped out the entire family of Lu Ningchuan, the governor of a province.

Lu Ningchuan had just died at Lin Yi's hands, and then his family was massacred. It's hard not to suspect Xiao Se and Lin Yi.

The case was so serious that even Guan Buping, despite his illness, went out with Bao Sanniang, and newcomers like Shang Chang'er were also included in the team.

There was a severe shortage of manpower, so even though Shang Chang'er was carrying a case on her shoulders, Bao San Niang made an exception and allowed her to participate in the operation.

Upon arriving at Lu Ningchuan's residence and seeing the mess everywhere, Aqi, who was inside Shang Chang'er's body, suddenly had a good idea...

Chapter 207 Protecting one's own? No, protecting one's husband.

Ah Qi decided to help Shang Chang'er rise in the Jingye Division, as this would bring her many benefits. Firstly, she could use her higher status to get closer to Lin Yi; secondly, the higher she climbed in the Jingye Division, the better her information would be about demons and monsters.

When the time comes, Shang Chang'er will slay demons and monsters, and she will follow along and eat the demons whenever she gets the chance.

With her cultivation restored so quietly and without anyone noticing, who in the world can stop her now!

For a moment, Ah Qi wasn't in a hurry to eat Shang Chang'er.

"Disciple, have you discovered something?"

Ah Qi didn't immediately give Shang Chang'er the correct answer, but rather in a testing tone. Shang Chang'er quickly replied, "I've discovered it. These people all died tragically. The murderer must be a vicious and evil demon."

Ah Qi: "..."

Do you really need to discover this yourself?

"You guessed right, the murderer is indeed a vicious demon. Judging from these corpses, it should be a bone demon."

"Bone Demon?"

This was the first time Shang Chang'er had heard this term, and she didn't quite understand it.

This is where Teacher Aqi comes in handy. She gently explained, "There are countless kinds of demons, but they can be roughly divided into three categories."

One type is the inner demon. The power of this type of demon originates from the heart, and thus they also have the power to manipulate people's hearts. However, their power is often singular; some can only control anger, while others can only control lust. This type of demon has no physical form and is unpredictable. Although they are not strong in direct combat, they are extremely difficult to defend against.

The second type is the human-demon. The power of this type of demon comes from the body. Human-demons are often transformed from humans, usually by a part of the body becoming demonized, which gives them special power. While gaining this power, they are also enslaved by it. Therefore, human-demons are usually bloodthirsty and cruel.

The third category is true demons. This type of demon only exists in the demon realm, and you don't need to know much about them.

"Master is amazing! He knows so much!"

Shang Chang'er was very good at flattering her master and gave him plenty of face.
