I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

Lin Yi, however, wanted to be on the safe side, so he made an extra preparation.

Besides, since Guishan Daoren had offered to help, Lin Yi couldn't simply order him to draw fire.

Even though the Taoist priest of Guishan was broad-minded and wouldn't hold it against him, he still couldn't help but feel that the young man was immature.

In the pursuit of immortality, understanding human relationships and social dynamics is also very important.

After throwing the sword, Lin Yi took Xiao Cao and Wang Jinxuan downstairs.

It wasn't that he wanted to take them on an adventure, but that nowhere was safer than by his side.

Fortunately, Xiao Zhao and the others left a little earlier, and Lin Yi had accumulated sword energy for too long, so he didn't throw it down immediately. Otherwise, Xiao Zhao's words would have come true.

Lin Yi carried the two down and saw the shattered remains of the greatsword scattered on the ground. The ground itself was still intact; Lin Yi's sword energy, combined with the explosive magic sword, had not caused any damage to the ground.

As expected of the Demon Emperor's Secret Realm, impressive.

He waited there for a while, and soon Xiao Se and Qu Jing came down together. Bai Lianxian, Guishan Zhenren, and Qianhuan Guiji arrived even later.

Perhaps, the stronger one is, the more difficult it is to cross the boundary between reality and illusion to enter the secret realm. However, Lin Yi's strength was not only underestimated, but even unconscious formations like this did not realize his power.

Some people present thought he was a second-rank official, some thought he was a third-rank official, but no one thought he was a first-rank official.

Even if he dared to swing his sword at the Thousand Illusion Ghost Princess, it would be the same.

In short, after everyone reunited, Lin Yi fully demonstrated his role as the backbone, holding Wang Jinxuan's hand with his left hand and Xiaocao's hand with his right hand, and said to the others, "Let's go down and take a look!"

Qianhuan Guiji stared intently at Lin Yi's left and right hands, her eyes filled with a strange and cunning look, while Bai Lianxian seemed lost in thought.

Lin Yi seems to instinctively protect the weak, so maybe she should pretend to be more vulnerable in the future?

Regardless of Bai Lianxian's ingenious ideas, everyone was rushing downhill at an extremely fast speed.

With their setup, they were basically fearless against anyone and could easily push their way through. Although Lin Yi was dragging a burden on each hand, he was not afraid at all and charged down the road.

At the very end of the passage, Wang Anxian reached the bottom first.

There was nothing special at the bottom, just an altar and a gray-white stone door.

Above the stone gate are four ancient characters: Shuiyue Dongtian (Water Moon Cave Heaven).

The altar was right in front of the closed stone gate. On the altar was a three-legged bronze cauldron with twisted patterns on it. One side was carved with ferocious and terrifying beasts, another side with bizarre human faces, and yet another side was carved with a three-headed dog. There was another side that Wang An could not see from his perspective.

But from the three sides he observed as he walked around, he deduced what it was.

This is the most precious treasure of the Jingye Division, the Demon-Suppressing Cauldron. Its four sides represent demons and monsters, and their expressions are all very painful, showing the meaning of being suppressed.

After Wang An walked to the altar, sure enough, the last side was carved with a bull with huge horns.

Wang An's information was not far behind. According to the information he had gathered, the Demon Emperor had been severely injured when Si You of the Jingye Division activated the Demon-Suppressing Cauldron. Subsequently, under the siege of many powerful figures, he finally failed to survive the Heavenly Tribulation.

Whether the rumor is true or not is unknown, but the decline of the Jingye Division is clearly visible.

It might not just be because of the heavy losses suffered in the battle against the demon race, but more likely because the treasure that suppressed the fortune was lost.

Previously, Wang An was unsure whether the rumors were true or false, but now that he saw something resembling the Demon-Suppressing Cauldron here, the rumors seemed to have a 70% credibility.

Since this thing is placed on the altar, perhaps it is a ritual implement.

First, the demon king was sacrificed.

Wang An picked up the Poison Lady and threw her into the Demon-Suppressing Cauldron. At that moment, all the runes on the Poison Lady's body shattered. Wang An's expression changed. He was really worried that the Poison Lady would escape, which would put him in a real predicament.

In a direct confrontation, even if Lady Poison is severely injured, crushing him would be as easy as snapping a finger.

If Lady Poison hadn't fallen into the trap, how could he have captured a demon king?

The most risky thing he had done in the past eighteen years was hunting the Poison Lady.

First, they took advantage of the fact that the demon clan had "inadvertently" leaked information to lure Lady Poison.

Wang An didn't actually specify which demon king; any one of them would do.

No matter which demon king comes, the result will be the same: he will send Wang Jinxuan away, making people even more convinced that she is the daughter of the demon emperor.

Then, the demon king, who had been lured there, would relentlessly pursue Wang Jinxuan. If he couldn't find Wang Jinxuan, he would surely fly into a rage.

Coincidentally, Wang An knew that Master Guishan would be in Xiangzhou during this period. Such an old senior would certainly not sit idly by when demons caused trouble.

Whenever the two have a dispute, the opportunity he needs will come.

Everything went according to his plan, but he wasn't without risk. Dealing with such a powerful person meant that every word he spoke was a risk, but those risks were ultimately worthwhile.

With the opportunity for success right in front of him, and having considered everything meticulously, it would be incredibly frustrating to make a mistake because of a broken cauldron.

Fortunately, Wang An's worries were only momentary.

As Lady Poison entered the cauldron, the surrounding carvings all changed to resemble a spider, seemingly indicating Lady Poison's identity.

Freed from the runes' restraints, Lady Poison struggled frantically, desperate to escape.

However, once the food has entered, how could it possibly escape? Although Madam Poison no longer had any runes on her body, the Demon-Suppressing Cauldron was far more effective than Wang An's runes.

Madam Poison felt as if fire was burning beneath her and a mountain was pressing down on her. Before long, water suddenly appeared in the cauldron. It wasn't boiling hot, but it dissolved all her flesh and blood, turning it into a pool of red liquid.

"what……"

The Poison Lady let out a painful wail, but after only a few breaths, she fell silent. Soon, there was no trace of the Poison Lady in the cauldron; she had nothing left but a cauldron of red blood.

Blood suddenly leaked from the bottom of the cauldron, flowing along the grooves on the altar. Slowly, two of the four characters above the stone gate turned blood red.

"Water, moon."

On the right side of the altar, about half of the surface is dark and smooth, so it's impossible to tell if there are any grooves underneath.

The mechanism is probably here; perhaps it involves staining this half of the altar with blood.

When Wang An thought of the idea of ​​sacrificing demon offspring with blood and offering a living sacrifice to the demon king, he immediately turned his gaze to Wang Liang.

Wang Liang also witnessed the Poison Lady's miserable state.

He never expected that a dignified demon king would die here so quietly, just because an unattended cauldron took the life of a demon king.

Terrifying, absolutely terrifying.

What could a half-demon with a thousand years of cultivation possibly do?

Perhaps, being sacrificed is their fate.

It's just unknown what illness his demon queen mother has. It's a secret realm of the demon race, but to open it, one has to sacrifice the blood of her own people and offspring.

Isn't this pushing them into a fire pit?

"Liang'er, it's your turn. For the sake of our many years as father and son, I won't let you suffer too much."

As he spoke, Wang An tried to grab Wang Liang and cut open his neck to bleed him.

Blood sacrifice and live sacrifice are different, but to ensure the fastest bleeding, the neck is still the best place to bleed the most.

But at that moment, Wang An heard footsteps behind him.

He was startled and turned around, where he saw King Liang and his three subordinates.

Wang An's face darkened, and a bad premonition immediately filled his heart...

Chapter 234 Killing someone is not enough; you must also destroy their spirit.

The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind; Wang An and Xiao Zhao perfectly enacted this drama.

"It seems we've arrived just in time."

Xiao Zhao smiled as he looked at Wang An, while his three subordinates lined up in a row, putting a lot of pressure on the lone Wang An.

"I never expected to meet His Highness Prince Liang here."

Wang An knew the situation was very bad.

Not to mention that King Liang himself was a powerful and fierce general, even his subordinates alone were not people he could deal with.

Wang An didn't believe they were just there to join in the fun when they appeared at this time.

The unexpected situation naturally made Wang An uneasy.

Seeing Wang An's reaction, Xiao Zhao smiled and said, "You didn't expect to see me here, but seeing you was exactly what I expected. Of all the bait I used, you were the one who performed the best."

Wang An was shocked, but Xiao Zhao thoroughly enjoyed the feeling of having outmaneuvered others.

Although the plan wasn't his idea, the result was fine, which shows that he implemented it very well. How can you say that he didn't make a great contribution?

Because of this, he developed a somewhat boastful attitude.

"Back then, I selected four people: Xie Yu from the Xie family, Cui Nan from the Cui family, Cheng Li from the Cheng family, and Wang An from your Wang family. You are all talented and ambitious people, but among the four, only you have the most courage and ambition to kill your wife and children."

Moreover, your plan was so meticulous that I truly admire it. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to seek out the Demon King for a human sacrifice; I am so grateful for your help.”

The word "bait" itself was enough to tell the story; when Wang An heard those two words, he knew something was wrong.

However, after planning for eighteen years, just as he was about to succeed, he encountered King Liang and was told that it was all a scam, and that he was just a fish that had been caught. He found it hard to accept this truth.

Such a scene happened not long ago.

Wang An just didn't expect that retribution would come so quickly.

Wang Liang was overjoyed. Although he was also likely to die, seeing Wang An, who had just killed him and broken his spirit, now enjoying the same treatment as him, even though he was about to die, Wang Liang's eyes were filled with pleasure.

After eighteen years of planning, it was about to all come to naught, and Wang An was unwilling to accept it.

Even though his hands and feet were ice cold and his whole body was trembling, he forced himself to remain calm.

"The world only knows that Your Highness is skilled in military strategy and is exceptionally brave. No one expected that Your Highness also has such a plan. I am ashamed of my inferiority. I did not know that this secret realm was something Your Highness coveted. I have overstepped my bounds. Please forgive me, Your Highness."

A man who can bend and stretch.

Now he is all alone and has been framed. Forced by circumstances, he has no choice but to submit or face certain death.

Even if he yields, Xiao Zhao might not let him go, but there is still a glimmer of hope.

As long as you don't die, there will be another chance in the future.

After listening to Wang An's words, Xiao Zhao sighed solemnly, "You really are a ruthless person. You fell into my trap and still apologized to me. I was originally going to spare your life, but now I'm really afraid of you."

Wang An: "..."

Seeing Wang An's stiff expression, Xiao Zhao laughed again.

"Don't be afraid, I'm just kidding. How could I possibly want to let you go?"
