I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

Furthermore, Lin Yi felt there must be a reason why Xiao Zhao knew so much about the Demon Emperor.

His determination to kill his son Xiao Se must have had a hidden story.

Regardless of what the other party is plotting, since we're already on opposite sides, even if he's just here for a vacation in the Demon Emperor's Secret Realm, I won't let him see any good scenery!

Not to mention that his team has three mobile experience boosters, so when else would they go?

Seeing Lin Yi lead the charge, everyone else followed suit, and no one gave Wang Jinxuan a second glance, except for Xiao Se.

She took out a compass and placed it next to Wang Jinxuan.

"I know you're upset, but you need to think things through carefully. The compass can protect you; proceed with caution."

After saying that, Xiao Se quickly leaped forward to chase after the person in front.

Her cultivation level probably surpasses that of at least 90% of cultivators, but in this group, she is at the bottom.

In fact, if they really fought, she might not even be able to beat Qu Jing, who had just entered the third rank, and Qu Jing was a sword cultivator with considerable speed.

If Xiao Se had been any slower, he might have been left behind by the team.

Wang Jinxuan put down her severed hand and looked at the compass and talisman beside her. Her heart trembled, but Wang Qian rushed over.

"Jinxuan, what exactly is going on?!"

Wang Qian's mind was in turmoil. Anger, grief, humiliation and all sorts of negative emotions surged within him. All he could see was his father holding Wang Jinxuan's hand, only to have it chopped off by Lin Yi, and his father lying in a pool of blood.

Wang Jinxuan is here; he should know more.

Hearing her elder brother's voice, Wang Jinxuan burst into tears again, but she tried to be strong and pointed to the altar in front of her, saying, "Look at that..."

Wang Qian followed Wang Jinxuan's finger and saw Wang Liang on the altar.

At this moment, Wang Liang's face was pale and his eyes had lost their luster, but his expression was serene, as if he had died with a smile.

"Second brother!"

Wang Qian had only seen Wang An's death before, and his eyes were only on Lin Yi. He never expected that his second brother would also die here.

He ran toward Wang Liang's body in grief, but was held back tightly by Wang Jinxuan.

"Brother, don't go."

Wang Qian then realized that Wang An had fallen into the blood and soon turned into blood.

None of the people who entered the Water Moon Cave before had any blood on their hands.

Thinking about the possible consequences of jumping in, he felt a wave of fear.

Seeing his second brother's body there, and being unable to do anything, Wang Qian felt powerless and frustrated. He slumped to the ground and pounded his fists on the ground several times until they bled.

He hated his own incompetence, unable to protect his sister, his brother, or his father, and now he couldn't even bring back his brother's body.

"Big brother, don't cry."

“Jinxuan…”

The brother and sister embraced and wept bitterly.

When emotions are running high, having a good cry may be the best way to release them.

The brother and sister cried for a while, feeling miserable, and Wang Qian also tried to calm himself down.

"Jinxuan, what are you doing here?"

"My master brought me here."

Speaking of this, Wang Jinxuan felt a little nervous.

Lin Yi had always been with her, protecting her very well, but just now, he left her here with only one sentence and some talismans.

Perhaps he was angry.

Tell me, what just happened!

Wang Qian had already asked this question earlier, but was interrupted because he saw Wang Liang's body. Now that he's asking again, Wang Jinxuan naturally won't hide it from him.

"As soon as my master and I arrived here, we overheard King Liang speaking to my father. My father fell for his trick and mistakenly believed that my second brother was the son of the Demon Emperor..."

At the time, Lin Yi and his group only heard the last sentence, but they were all shrewd people, and they understood it almost without listening, let alone hearing such a crucial sentence.

It's easy to understand; Wang An was scheming against the Demon Emperor's Secret Realm, but the entire Demon Emperor's Secret Realm was just Liang Wang's scheme.

It's like the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.

Wang An was tricked, benefited others, and even lost his own life.

Hearing this, Wang Qian didn't believe it at all.

"Nonsense! How could Father kill my second brother! Are you deliberately slandering Father to clear your master's name?"

Wang Qian glared angrily at Wang Jinxuan, and when Wang Jinxuan heard these words, his mind went completely blank.

Even at a time like this, her older brother didn't believe her.

"Your father has treated you well, why do you slander him like this! Do you know that we came here to find the Hermit of Jade Void in Kunlun Mountain? Once we find him, he can remove the calamity brought about by your identity as the daughter of the Demon Emperor!"

Wang Jinxuan: "..."

"Father just accidentally fell into the trap. How could he have killed my second brother? How could he have hurt you? I don't believe it!"

Wang Qian roared hysterically at Wang Jinxuan, then turned and ran up the tunnel, shouting as he ran.

Wang Jinxuan could still hear his elder brother's shouts, and his heart ached again.

She understood that her older brother didn't distrust her; he just couldn't accept the fact.

Perhaps, in his eyes, his family is a family of loving fathers and filial sons, and brothers who are friendly and respectful to each other. Now, his family is working together to save his sister who is in trouble.

Killing his son and harming his daughter—how could his father, whom he had always respected and admired, possibly do such a thing!

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

However, Wang Jinxuan's expression told him that she was not lying.

Wang Qian's mentality collapsed. He couldn't face Wang Jinxuan, nor could he look at Wang Liang's corpse again, nor could he calmly face the pool of blood. He could only escape, using frantic running to vent his emotions.

However, a woman wearing a white veil and dressed in white suddenly appeared in the passageway ahead.

Wang Qian couldn't see his face clearly, but he felt that those eyes had a special magic that gradually calmed his mood.

Then, the woman spoke.

Do you yearn to become powerful?

In a daze, Wang Qian saw the graceful woman before him transform into a gigantic fox, which opened its ferocious maw and lunged at him...

Chapter 237 Inside the Liang Prince's Mansion

Within the Water Moon Cave, stepping through a door leads to a different world.

Lin Yi had only been tracking Xiao Zhao for the time it took to say a single sentence, but after entering the stone gate, he felt as if he had traveled through another world.

Before his eyes, light and shadow shifted, dazzling light and extreme darkness followed, and then Lin Yi saw the sun in the sky, the tall city gate, and the throngs of people.

There are two characters on the city wall: Jiankang.

Jiankang, isn't that the capital?

But this is definitely not the real capital city.

The faces of the people coming and going were all blurry. Even with Lin Yi's eyesight, he couldn't make out what these people looked like. It was like a nearsighted person looking at a person; he knew the other person had eyes and a nose, but he couldn't piece them together.

Almost all people are like this, with identical faces and similar clothing.

Lin Yi couldn't help but secretly complain that these people looked just like the characters in some anime he had watched, where the background characters had simple lines due to budget constraints.

Although these passersby don't have minimalist lines, they still achieve a similar effect.

Following this line of thought, if you see a person with a nose and eyes, that person is most likely the protagonist or someone related to the protagonist.

At this moment, the little grass in his arms had disappeared, and Qianhuan Guiji and the others were no longer following behind. Lin Yi deduced that there might be some kind of illusion array in this Water Moon Cave Heaven that separated everyone.

Since the person who set up the illusion array deliberately left such an obvious flaw, perhaps they wanted to guide him to search for something.

Lin Yi immediately decided to take a trip to the capital.

He swaggered into the city, and the guards on the city wall did not stop him.

He observed others without restraint, and no one seemed to care.

Following his own ideas, Lin Yi searched around the city and finally found several people with noses, faces, and clear features.

They were guards of a mansion, standing ramrod straight outside the gate. With such imposing presence, they were certainly not from an ordinary family.

Lin Yi looked up and saw that the plaque above simply read: "Liang Prince's Mansion".

This……

Lin Yi had already felt that Xiao Zhao had some kind of secret connection with the Demon Emperor's Secret Realm. Now, as soon as he entered the Water Moon Cave, he found clues related to Xiao Zhao. It was truly like getting exactly what he wanted.

Since there was something clearly amiss here, Lin Yi naturally wanted to go in and investigate.

He climbed over the wall and entered the Liang Prince's mansion, where he heard two women chatting while tending to the flowers and plants.

"Aunt Zhang, have you heard? The princess is about to give birth in the next few days. Don't forget to dress festively when the time comes. The prince will surely give you some reward money."

"Not necessarily! Aunt Wang, when the princess gives birth, don't go around trying to bring good luck. Money is a small matter, but don't lose your life."

The old lady's enigmatic expression piqued the interest of both the old lady and Lin Yi.

He stood quietly to the side, eavesdropping, and Aunt Wang, playing along, asked, "Why do you say that?"

Aunt Zhang then leaned close to Aunt Wang and whispered in her ear, "The child in the princess's belly may not be the prince's child."

Aunt Wang looked terrified and asked in a low voice, "Is this true?"

"Would I dare to speak carelessly? If it weren't for the fact that you're my sister, I wouldn't dare to say anything that could cost me my head. I saw with my own eyes the prince getting angry at the princess. Every time the topic of the child came up, the prince looked extremely angry."

"You never know!"

"Why can't you say for sure? Think about it, there was a period last year when the Emperor frequently summoned the Princess Consort to the palace. Sometimes she would go at noon and not return until the next day. If you calculate the dates, it matches up perfectly!"

"Otherwise, why would our Prince be so angry when he sees the Princess? Even with the child about to be born, he's still unhappy. There must be a reason!"

"There's such a thing..."
