Since that's the case, she at least wanted Lin Yi to clearly hear her feelings before she died, even though that big bad guy must have already figured it out. At least she wanted him to actually hear a word from her.

"Are you teaching me what to do?"

While He Dong's words made sense, they also triggered another extreme side of Qianhuan Guiji.

She has a strong desire for control and always expects others to listen to her; it's never her place to educate her.

Even though she asked why countless times, what she wanted was not for others to give her an answer, but for others to also lose what they had.

Why do you all have someone who loves me but I don't?

Therefore, none of you can be loved.

She cared not about the reasons, but about the results.

When He Dong and Lin Yi showed affection in front of her, she only wanted to kill the female ghost and didn't think there was any truth to what she said.

"Stop, let her go, we can talk things over."

This is the situation Lin Yi least wanted to see, but there's nothing he can do about it. Qianhuan Guiji is strong, and he could have avoided the battle, but He Dong has been captured, so he has no choice.

"You're in such a hurry, it seems you really care about her."

Qianhuan Guiji did not release He Dong, and her gaze toward Lin Yi became somewhat angry.

Her twisted heart became even more twisted because of jealousy.

"If I kill her, you'll hate me for the rest of your life!"

The Thousand Illusions Demon Princess's hand was itching to act.

She was waiting for Lin Yi's answer. If Lin Yi could hate her for the rest of his life, that would be a good thing. At least she would always be remembered by someone.

"No, I'll hate you for at most ten years."

"why?"

Qianhuan Guiji was somewhat disappointed, but Lin Yi calmly said, "Because it only takes ten years for me to kill you. Once I've taken my revenge, I'll naturally forget you. To me, you're just an ordinary enemy. Why should I spend a lifetime remembering you?"

Lin Yi almost gave in to her wishes, but luckily he was perceptive enough to see her lurking desires; otherwise, He Dong would already be a corpse.

Uh, no, she's a ghost. She'll just be a ghost, her soul will be scattered, leaving only her skin.

"An ordinary enemy? I killed your wife!"

“Yes, killing her is not enough. You can always find another one. A real man should not worry about not having a wife. Why dwell on the past? You kill her, and I will avenge her. That is enough.”

He Dong: "..."

You heartless bastard! I'd be willing to die for you, and you still want to find someone else?

While it's reasonable to look again, isn't it going too far to say it so directly?

Unfaithful man, you scoundrel!

"Is this your true love?"

Qianhuan Guiji was unaware that she had fallen into Lin Yi's rhythm. Instead of using force to launch a direct attack, she started exchanging words with Lin Yi.

Lin Yi has never been afraid of verbal sparring; he can make white appear black and black appear white.

Putting aside the facts, he's not afraid of anyone when it comes to empty talk.

"Of course, we are truly in love. At least, when we were together, we cared about each other, and even after we broke up, I will always remember her."

Even if we are separated by life and death, our feelings for each other will never change.

Hearing Lin Yi's words, Qianhuan Guiji became even angrier.

Because she realized that killing He Dong wouldn't truly separate the two of them; judging from Lin Yi's words, he still had his own lover.

This won't do.

Is there no way to take Lin Yi away?

Thinking of this, Qianhuan Guiji suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said, "You've said so much just to make me release her, or to prevent her soul from being scattered. Since that's the case, I can agree to your request. However, in exchange, you must come back to the Hundred Ghosts Sect with me, and you cannot take her with you."

Lin Yi had to choose between being separated by life and being separated by death.

But as soon as this condition was stated, Lin Yi immediately resorted to stalling tactics.

"I can agree to this condition. However, I must be loyal to the person I am entrusted with. The matter of the Demon Emperor's Secret Treasure is tomorrow, and I need to go there. As long as you release Dong'er, I will definitely go to the Hundred Ghosts Gate to find you in the future."

They're the kind who want revenge.

"No need to wait until later. Tomorrow, I will go with you to find the hidden treasure, and then I will take you back to the mountain. In this life, you will never be able to escape my grasp again!"

Chapter 217 Why is the Prince of Liang here?

Sometimes, less extreme conditions are more difficult to deal with.

Because extreme conditions can be refused outright, but less extreme conditions are not so easy to refuse.

Just like now, Qianhuan Guiji's request is not for Lin Yi to kill her or do anything else that would harm her or others in exchange for He Dong being released. The condition is simply to bring Lin Yi back to the Hundred Ghosts Sect.

But whether Lin Yi will become a plaything for some people to satisfy their own desires after returning to the Hundred Ghosts Sect, no one knows.

Nevertheless, given the current situation, as long as He Dong can be rescued, Qianhuan Guiji's condition is not so unacceptable.

If you want to do something, you always have to pay a price. If you can't rescue He Dong intact, you can only sacrifice your own interests.

When Bai Lianxian heard that Qianhuan Guiji was going to take Lin Yi up the mountain, she was immediately horrified.

This master-disciple relationship seems to be somewhat different from what she imagined. Could it be that this female demon looks innocent, but actually lusts after Lin Yi's body?

Did you bring Lin Yi up the mountain so that you could make him your own possession?

She can't accept that.

Bai Lianxian secretly transmitted her voice, saying, "As long as my sword can injure her, the outcome is still uncertain."

Bai Lianxian had also heard of the Hundred Ghosts Sect Master's formidable reputation. She was the most powerful of the four major demonic sects, and everyone feared her. Judging from their brief exchange just now, her cultivation level must be far superior to theirs.

However, the Thousand Illusion Ghost Princess is highly skilled and possesses supernatural powers and secret techniques.

If her venomous fangs can bite the Thousand Illusion Demon Princess, the situation can be turned around immediately.

Lin Yi shook his head; this kind of thing involved too much gambling.

After careful consideration, he finally agreed.

"I agree. Give her back to me!"

"Hehe, aren't you overestimating me? What if you run away again if I give her back to you now?"

As she spoke, the Thousand Illusion Ghost Princess took out another jar, and with a breath, she sucked He Dong into the jar.

"Once you come up the mountain with me, I will release her, but until then, don't expect to have any more intimate moments with her!"

Lin Yi: "..."

He Dong: "..."

To what extent has this person's mind become twisted?

Are you really that jealous of other people's success?

I promise you.

Lin Yi gritted his teeth and accepted it.

Going to the Hundred Ghosts Gate might not be a bad thing for him. Ghosts that have been around for over a thousand years are rare in other places, but the Hundred Ghosts Gate should have plenty.

Go find a demon to exorcise first, then you'll have a chance to perform a sacrifice.

At that time, his cultivation level will be able to reach 4,500 years by killing monsters, and when he fights her head-on, he may not necessarily be inferior to her.

But all of this takes time, and he is now trading time for compromise.

The matter was considered closed at this point, and Bai Lianxian felt particularly uncomfortable seeing that Lin Yi had agreed to Qianhuan Guiji's request.

If she had known that force could make Lin Yi give in, why didn't she think of such a good method?

If we had taken Lin Yi back to the cave back then, wouldn't we be able to live as comfortably as Qianhuan Guiji?

"Sigh, it's all my fault for being too kind. I couldn't bear to be too rough with pretty people, and now they've gotten the better of me..."

Bai Lianxian sighed inwardly. Thinking about how Lin Yi would be tormented day and night by his demonic master, she suddenly felt…

It's not that unacceptable.

Lin Yi's master is also quite handsome. When good-looking people are together, it's naturally a beautiful sight.

For a fleeting moment, Bai Lianxian even considered visiting the Hundred Ghosts Sect.

Xiao Se had just given Wang Jinxuan and Xiao Cao the antidote when he saw that the battle was already decided. Before the battle even reached its end, Lin Yi had already surrendered and compromised.

What surprised Xiao Se even more was Lin Yi's identity. He was actually the disciple of the Hundred Ghosts Sect Master. He had thought that a powerful stranger had come to cause trouble, but now he realized that it was a matter concerning Lin Yi's sect.

Xiao Se never expected that Lin Yi, who was so full of righteousness, would actually come from the infamous Hundred Ghosts Sect.

The unorthodox techniques she learned the most were 60% from the Hundred Ghosts Sect.

When it comes to cruelty, ruthlessness, and cunning, the Hundred Ghosts Sect is second to none.

It's truly rare to find someone like Lin Yi, who comes from the demonic path, yet still possesses such a strong sense of justice.

But now, because of He Dong, Lin Yi is about to be dragged into the dark mire again, and she can't bear to watch Lin Yi take this step.

We must find a way to stop it, and the only power she can rely on is her father.

Xiao Se knew that her father wanted to kill her and use it as a springboard to seize power in the south. But now, Lin Yi had already sent a signal to the court on behalf of her father. Logically speaking, her father no longer had a reason to kill her.

Even if someone wanted to kill her, she would be fine as long as she was careful.

As long as she doesn't die, she will be the heir apparent of the Liang Kingdom, and perhaps even the future crown prince. With the status of a crown prince, it would be enough to deal with a demonic sect.

Thinking of this, Xiao Se still stepped forward and said, "I advise you to be careful, otherwise, the Southern Dynasty may not have the Hundred Ghosts Sect in the future."

And who are you?

Thousand Illusion Ghost Princess wasn't angry at Xiao Se's words; she just found them somewhat amusing.

These days, anyone can claim to have wiped out the Hundred Ghosts Sect?

Do you really think the Hundred Ghosts Sect is so easy to wipe out?
