I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

Lin Yi said with a concerned expression.

One of his purposes was to show concern for and please Qianhuan Guiji, but Lin Yi was more curious about what could make someone like Qianhuan Guiji have nightmares.

This may be the weakness of the Thousand Illusion Demon Princess.

Qianhuan Guiji recalled what had happened before, shook her head, smiled gently, and said, "I don't want to talk about it, but don't worry, little brother, I've killed them all, and there won't be any more nightmares."

Lin Yi: "..."

This person can say the cruelest things with the gentlest expression. Lin Yi felt a chill run down his spine for no reason. For a moment, he didn't know if Qianhuan Guiji meant that she killed everyone in her dream or that she really killed everyone in reality.

With another crisp sound, another bubble burst above, and this time it was Qu Jing who emerged.

Her gaze remained firm, but her face was somewhat pale.

If everyone is in a dream, then there's a high probability that they're encountering the scenarios they least want to face.

Fortunately, apart from Xiaocao, everyone here has decent cultivation levels.

"Oh no, little grass!"

Lin Yi immediately became worried. Xiao Cao's cultivation level was not only low, it was practically nonexistent. At most, she could only fight ordinary people.

This is like a level 1 newbie following a level 90 veteran into a max-level dungeon, only to get separated during the dungeon.

Wouldn't it die if you didn't touch it?

"Snapped!"

Another bubble burst, and the little grass fell to the ground. Seeing herself falling, she did not panic, but quickly changed her posture in the air. Just before landing, she unleashed a tiger's roar towards the ground.

Using the recoil from the sound waves, she landed steadily.

Lin Yi originally intended to catch her, but seeing her calm and composed demeanor, he refrained from doing so. He wanted to see her skill level, but he was surprised to find that Xiao Cao was so capable.

Isn't he much better than Wang Jinxuan?

Moreover, she was actually the fourth person to break the bubble.

Then, Bai Lianxian and Guishan Zhenren also emerged from the bubble, but Xiao Se was the only one who did not appear.

They waited for a long time, but Xiao Se never broke the bubble.

And among the countless bubbles at the top, it's unclear which one is desolate.

"Could it be that Xiao Se didn't even go in?"

Chapter 240 The Most Useless Pawn

This space is somewhat unusual; Lin Yi's nose is useless here.

Lin Yi didn't see Xiao Zhao and his party either; perhaps they had already left.

Time was of the essence, and Lin Yi dared not hesitate, so he said, "Let's continue exploring forward."

Xiao Se did not respond to the words he wrote on the small wooden carving. Lin Yi did not know what was going on, and could only continue forward.

If Xiao Se is still trapped inside the bubble, she should know to contact him using the Lianlizhi (a type of vine) once she comes out.

If Xiao Se has already left, then he shouldn't waste any more time here.

It seems that Xiao Se shouldn't be in too much danger here. As the offspring of the Demon Emperor, how could the Demon Emperor possibly harm her?

Lin Yi took Xiao Cao's hand and they walked along the only passage. Qian Huan Gui Ji looked at the two holding hands, her eyes still very subtle.

"Perhaps he prefers to be called brother rather than sister?"

Thinking of this, Thousand Illusion Ghost Princess sighed helplessly.

Oh well, what can you do when she spoils him?

After Lin Yi and the others left, two more figures appeared out of thin air. They were Wang Jinxuan and Wang Qian, but they did not enter the dream.

"Brother, isn't it too risky for us to come in like this?"

Looking at Wang Qian, Wang Jinxuan felt uneasy.

Her older brother was still her older brother, but she had a strange feeling that he was no longer her older brother.

Wang Qian said firmly, "It is somewhat risky, but fortune favors the bold. If we don't seize the opportunity when it's right in front of us, how will we get revenge later!"

"But... Master is not an enemy."

"If it's not your master, then it's King Liang. He's even more difficult to deal with than your master. If you don't become stronger, do you still want to hide behind your master and be protected by him?"

Besides, he might not even want you as his disciple anymore. Even if you say you won't treat him as an enemy, he might not believe you, right?

Wang Qian's words were truly devastating. Wang Jinxuan was already feeling bitter because his master had abandoned him, and hearing what he said made him even more upset.

"My master won't abandon me!"

Wang Jinxuan tried to persuade her brother, and also tried to persuade herself.

In fact, she knew that Wang Qian was right.

If she really said she didn't hold grudges, would Lin Yi believe her?

Although they all knew that the root cause of Wang An's death was not Lin Yi, but rather Xiao Zhao, the real enemy.

Regardless of the circumstances, Lin Yi was the one who saw Wang An off in the end. You can't judge a book by its cover, so who knows if she really doesn't hold grudges?

The best approach, of course, is to banish her and let her fend for herself; we cannot continue to teach her martial arts techniques.

What if she turns her back on me after she's mastered her skills?

After all, the bond between master and disciple is not as strong as blood ties, so who wouldn't be wary?

"Whether he still wants you or not, you have to rely on yourself. Mountains crumble and rivers flow away. Only when you become strong can you truly stand between heaven and earth."

Upon hearing these words, Wang Jinxuan fell silent.

I have to say, her brother was right.

Perhaps his abnormality is because he has experienced too much and broken down, which is why he suddenly became different.

Wang Jinxuan temporarily put aside his suspicions, cheered up a bit, and said, "Brother, I know how much you want to become stronger right now. However, while the Demon Emperor's Secret Realm is indeed a great opportunity, it also attracts top experts."

With our strength, how could we possibly snatch this opportunity from them?

Even her father, a man as intelligent as him, was schemed against and killed because of the Demon Emperor's Secret Realm. How could she and Wang Qian dare to plot against the Demon Emperor's Secret Realm? What difference is there between them and suicide?

Following Lin Yi might offer some opportunities, but following Wang Qian means nothing but death.

Wang Jinxuan didn't have high expectations, but she didn't want to leave Wang Qian alone.

She wanted to persuade Wang Qian not to take any more risks.

Wang Qian smiled confidently and said, "In terms of strength, we are naturally no match for them, but we can use our wisdom to get what we want."

For example, perhaps some treasure is hidden in this vast expanse of starry sky.

As he spoke, Wang Qian took a running start and jumped up.

Although it's called a starry sky, the "sky full of stars" is actually only about ten feet above the ground. With Wang Qian's seventh-grade cultivation, it wouldn't be that difficult for him to pluck them.

With a casual scoop, five bubbles fell into his hand.

"what is this?"

Seeing his older brother jump up and scoop up a few bubbles, Wang Jinxuan asked, somewhat exasperated.

The bubbles glowed with varying intensity, making them quite beautiful.

“Dreams, every dream is a world.”

This is the most precious thing in the Demon Emperor's Secret Realm, besides the Demon Emperor's Treasure Vault.

"Oh."

Wang Jinxuan responded calmly, but inwardly he was filled with turbulent emotions.

She knew her brother well. He was quite talented and read a lot of books, but he wasn't erudite enough to know everything.

A person's character may change because of a setback, but their perspective will not.

Wang Qian answered her question with ease, which shows that her intuition was correct.

"Help me pick them!"

"Wang Qian" said gently.

She didn't care about her identity being exposed; in fact, the exposure was just part of her plan.

If he doesn't give a suitable reason, why would Lin Yi continue to take Wang Jinxuan in?

If Wang Jinxuan had any support, Lin Yi would most likely have stopped caring about her.

After all, Wang Jinxuan's situation is very delicate. Her brother wants to kill Lin Yi to avenge her, and she is Lin Yi's apprentice. What should she do?

Lin Yi certainly didn't want to force Wang Jinxuan to make a choice, so he had to make the choice for Wang Jinxuan himself.

Now that's good, she's erased the source of the problem that was affecting her relationship with Lin Yi.

When Wang Jinxuan realized that the Wang Qian in front of her was not her brother, her heart ached as if it were being stabbed with a knife.

Wang An died, and Wang Liang died too. In one day, all her remaining relatives were Wang Qian.

Wang Jinxuan no longer cared how Wang An treated her. At least Wang Qian treated her like a younger sister. Even when he knew she wasn't his biological sister, he still chose to believe Wang An's lies and followed the ship westward to find the legendary Jade Void Hermit of Kunlun Mountain.

She also knew that her older brother was not the best older brother in the world, but he was the best older brother to her.

But now, an unknown entity is taking his place, and he is probably in grave danger.

Wang Jinxuan dared not show her sadness. She knew her own limitations; even if she exposed herself, she wouldn't be able to take revenge. No matter how painful it was, she had to calm down.

Following "Wang Qian's" instructions, she also began to collect dream bubbles. When "Wang Qian" saw this, he couldn't help but smile strangely.

"Who would have thought that the most useless person would be the pawn I chose?"

Chapter 241 The Desolate Blood

Meanwhile, while Wang Jinxuan was outwitting and outmaneuvering the unknown entity, Lin Yi and the others had already ventured deep into the heart of the Demon Emperor's Secret Realm along the only path within it.

While on the road, Lin Yi suddenly remembered that Li Meng had promised to teach him the Dream Entry Technique, but she never did.
