I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

As for whether Xu's wish would come true, Lin Yi had no idea.

In short, do your best and leave the rest to fate!

He's behaving quite obediently in front of Qianhuan Guiji now, which should have lowered her guard a lot. I'll find an opportunity later to steal the jar containing He Dong.

Once He Dong is in our hands, we won't be so passive anymore, whether we run or fight.

As for the promise with the Thousand Illusion Demon Princess...

Lin Yi could only say, with a double standard, that there's no need to talk about chivalry when dealing with a female demon.

"There are people ahead, be careful."

Lin Yi suddenly noticed the scene had changed and finally smelled some mixed scents, so he quickly alerted everyone.

Actually, they don't need to be afraid. In terms of strength, they are completely overwhelming the other side, who are the ones who would run away as soon as they see them.

Lin Yi was simply used to it.

Ahead, Lin Yi saw a cemetery, with endless mounds of graves stretching as far as the eye could see. He wondered how many lives were buried there.

A melancholy atmosphere seemed to permeate the air, making people feel inexplicably depressed.

The others were similar, but their expressions only became more serious, and they did not experience any significant adverse reactions.

A narrow path was still left amidst the crisscrossing graves.

Qu Jing said seriously, "Be careful. The arrangement of these graves seems to conform to the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams. I can't see it completely, and I don't know what kind of formation it is."

Unbeknownst to her, besides the grass, her cultivation level was the weakest here.

The others were not nervous at all.

The secret realm left behind by the Demon Emperor can't be more terrifying than the Demon Emperor himself.

Gui Shan Dao Ren and Bai Lian Xian had even been in contact with the Demon Emperor and had a general understanding of his strength.

In places like this, you can just go in.

There was only one path, but Lin Yi followed the scent he smelled and proceeded smoothly without any obstruction. There was neither fog nor illusion array.

They soon arrived at the center of the cemetery and finally saw King Liang and his entourage.

At the center of the cemetery is a wide circular platform, about twenty meters in diameter.

On the round platform was a coffin, silvery-white, with a radiance like the moon.

The coffin was covered with dense runes of all kinds, which Lin Yi could not understand. They were not the nine heavenly-grade runes of the Nine Talismans True Explanation, nor were they any other runes below the heavenly grade.

Anyway, Lin Yi didn't recognize any of them; it seemed like a completely new system.

The Liang King and his entourage were right next to the coffin.

Xiao Se, on the other hand, crouched down beside a grave, with a black cat perched on her head, completely concealed by the tomb.

Using cats as his eyes, Xiao Se has truly pushed the function of the dark cloud to its limit.

But Lin Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Xiao Se had spent some time with him and learned to be steady, otherwise, she would not have been a match for Liang Wang and his men on her own.

Lin Yi carefully reached out and pressed down on Xiao Se's shoulder. Just as she was about to scream, he covered her mouth.

"it's me."

Lin Yi lowered his voice and said.

Xiao Se was relieved when he recognized Lin Yi's voice.

Sensing her relaxed body, Lin Yi also let go of her.

What are you doing?

"I want to know what my dad wants to do."

Xiao Se looked at Xiao Zhao, his feelings were very complicated.

She was willing to sacrifice herself in the past because she felt that Xiao Zhao needed her to die in order to successfully succeed to the throne.

To repay the debt of gratitude for being raised, and because she felt she should listen to her father and had nothing else to hold onto, she decided to die.

However, after Lin Yi secretly intervened, Xiao Zhao already had a reason to rebel, yet he still wanted to kill her. This shows that Xiao Zhao's desire to kill her was not what she had previously thought, but rather for a reason to rebel.

Therefore, she now has some difficulty understanding Xiao Zhao.

"I want to know why he wants me dead. Aren't I his child?"

Lin Yi: "..."

Unfortunately, you guessed right.

Lin Yi learned the truth, but he didn't know how to say it, so he could only hide with Xiao Se and watch what Xiao Zhao was doing.

Xiao Zhao was holding a bamboo tube, which had a capacity of about one liter.

Xiao Zhao opened the bamboo tube and poured out its contents, which turned out to be blood.

The blood still carried a hint of coldness, as if it had been frozen.

The blood poured onto the silvery-white coffin did not flow; instead, it was absorbed by the coffin. Lin Yi's nose twitched, and he suddenly grabbed Xiao Se's hand and swiped it.

Xiao Se's finger was cut and bleeding. She looked at Lin Yi, completely bewildered.

Lin Yi then took her small hand, brought it to his nose, smelled it, and said with certainty, "What he poured out was your blood."

"How could this be!"

Xiao Se was initially shy because of Lin Yi's intimate behavior, but now that she heard these words, she no longer cared about being shy.

how can that be!

But Lin Yi certainly wouldn't make baseless accusations. Xiao Se had never been injured in front of him, and Lin Yi didn't know what her blood tasted like.

However, based on observing Xiao Zhao's behavior, Lin Yi guessed that the coffin might contain the corpse of the Demon Emperor, and the blood might be the blood of the Demon Emperor's offspring, and Xiao Se was one of the Demon Emperor's offspring.

Lin Yi deduced the process after seeing the answer; he could verify the answer by pricking Xiao Se's finger and smelling it.

On the round platform, Xiao Zhao looked at the runes that gradually lit up on the coffin and finally smiled.

Although things weren't as perfect as planned due to some people's interference, the minimum expectations of the plan were still met.

By opening the Demon Emperor's tomb and collecting the dragon energy absorbed by the Demon Emperor, he would possess the true dragon energy. With the help of this dragon energy, he could directly seize Jiankang and easily change the dynasty.

How could he not be excited at this moment?

Born into an unimportant royal family, he was talented and ambitious, but his background was not illustrious. He could only rely on his courage and hard work on the frontier to build up some foundation.

However, he had only just begun to make a name for himself when a single approval document nearly cost him his life.

The document came from the Imperial Observatory. The Imperial Observatory observed the celestial phenomena and knew that the Purple Star was falling, the world was turning upside down, the Wing Chariot was moving in reverse, and brothers were turning against each other.

Because of this one sentence, the emperor became extremely wary of the imperial family, especially those who commanded troops. If he hadn't been pretending to be stupid, subservient, and pitiful in front of the emperor every day, he would have been dead long ago.

They were clearly devoted to the country, yet they had to endure such humiliation for no reason. Who could willingly bear it?

Fortunately, every cloud has a silver lining. He met a benefactor, made some deals, and finally gained the power he has today.

By the time the old emperor realized that this golden carp was no ordinary creature, he already had a solid foundation for his own destiny.

Looking back on his past struggles, Xiao Zhao realized that, in the end, he couldn't have done it without the help of benefactors.

"You have indeed been kind to me, but you're asking for far too much!"

Chapter 242 The Unruly Young Man You Can't Mess With

The runes on the silver-white coffin lit up one by one. Seeing that something unexpected was about to happen, Lin Yi stopped standing there dumbfounded and watching the show.

I have to say, watching someone do something, and when they've reached 90% completion, suddenly going up and having sex with them feels really good.

"It's been a long time, Your Highness Prince Liang."

Lin Yi jumped onto the black circular platform and looked at Xiao Zhao and his three subordinates, especially Gu Yu, whom he envied greatly.

This demon has a pretty high cultivation level, it's a bit of a waste to use it on this blood sacrifice.

Unfortunately, his Blood Sacrifice Deceiving Heaven Technique can only have four at a time, one demon and one monster. Their total cultivation level must be greater than the cultivation level he wants to break through, and the excess part is purely sacrificed.

However, as long as it allows him to break through the limit of three thousand years of cultivation, a small loss is not a big deal.

Sensing Lin Yi's murderous intent, Gu Yu felt a chill run down his spine. He didn't remember offending Lin Yi, but clearly, his current situation was not optimistic.

As a subordinate of the King of Liang, he had always used his power to intimidate others, but now that he was facing a more powerful opponent, he was somewhat at a loss.

In crucial moments, we still have to rely on Xiao Zhao.

Xiao Zhao looked at Lin Yi, then glanced at Xiao Se, still unable to understand how Lin Yi had managed to win over so many powerful individuals.

Now that everything is ready, with only the final step remaining, he has absolutely no reason to compromise.

"Lin Yi, I actually admire you. If you can step down now and stop being my enemy, I will definitely give you a satisfactory reward after I ascend the throne."

If you insist on being my enemy, don't blame me for drawing the Emperor's Sword and slaying you!

Xiao Zhao was extremely skilled at using coercion and bribery.

Unfortunately, Lin Yi was neither afraid of coercion nor bribery.

“If someone like you could become emperor, the people of this world would not have a good life.”

"Those who act justly gain much support, while those who act unjustly find little. You may be destined to be emperor, but who knows when Heaven will be blind? I wonder what punishment Heaven will give me if I kill you here now?"

As he spoke, Lin Yi pulled out the Snow Pillow, his hands itching to touch it.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhao immediately regretted his words.

How could he forget that Lin Yi is a hothead?

This guy is not to be trifled with; he's really capable of using a knife if things get heated!

If it weren't for Daoist Guishan stopping him last night, Lin Yi would have truly been intent on killing. Now that they meet again, Lin Yi is once again intent on killing.

Are you, a cultivator, not afraid of divine retribution?

Xiao Zhao didn't dare to be so confrontational with Lin Yi, but he could refute what Lin Yi said.

"What makes you think that my reign as emperor will cause suffering for the people? My abilities far surpass those of any incompetent ruler. At least I am diligent in my duties and care for my people, and all the soldiers on the frontier support me."
