The current emperor, however, is incompetent and foolish, neglecting state affairs, employing treacherous officials, and obsessed with Taoist practices. How can such an emperor ensure the people's peaceful and prosperous lives?
Lin Yi sneered, "It's just a case of the pot calling the kettle black. Neither you nor the current emperor care about the people."
You are even far inferior to the current emperor.
At least the emperor didn't collude with demons and monsters, but you have many demons and monsters working for you, and these demons and monsters all want to eat people, yet you never stop them.
In your eyes, the common people are nothing more than bargaining chips for exchanging benefits. What face does such a person have to be emperor?
"Well said!"
Qu Jing felt her blood boil after hearing Lin Yi's words, and she wished she could go and kill the dog emperor to add to the excitement.
As for divine retribution, what does that matter?
We sword cultivators, for the sake of justice in our hearts, what fear is there of death!
Although Xiao Zhao was very angry at Lin Yi's criticism, she could not refute it.
Although he felt that cooperating with demons and monsters was just a matter of mutual benefit and nothing serious.
But no one would think it's right for a person to cooperate with demons, especially since he is a prince, a future emperor. If this is exposed, what will become of the court's reputation?
Seeing that Lin Yi, this hothead, was unlikely to reach an agreement today, a chill crept into Xiao Zhao's eyes.
"Since you insist on seeking death, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Knowing that this battle was inevitable, Xiao Zhao decisively drew his Emperor's Sword.
The runes on the silver-white coffin are still flashing, and it may be opened soon. Xiao Zhao has no way to retreat now.
Lin Yi didn't know where he got the courage to be so arrogant with just a sword, and to claim that he was invulnerable to all magic.
But being invulnerable to all magic doesn't mean being impervious to swords and spears, and coincidentally, Lin Yi doesn't rely on magic for a living.
He relies entirely on basic attacks.
Seeing Xiao Zhao draw his sword, Lin Yi naturally wouldn't back down either, and he also drew his sword and slashed forward.
He thought Xiao Zhao would engage in sword fighting with him, but to his surprise, Xiao Zhao simply shouted, "Sir, save me!"
Guishan Daoist thought Xiao Zhao was calling him. Seeing that Lin Yi's sword momentum did not falter and he was still slashing at Xiao Zhao, Xiao Zhao might not be a match if the two swords clashed.
If Lin Yi really kills Xiao Zhao, then things will get really messed up.
At this moment, the Taoist priest Guishan realized that he was the only one who could save the person.
Before he could make a move, a white jade hand appeared out of thin air and caught Lin Yi's sword with two fingers.
Immediately afterwards, a handsome young man dressed in a white robe appeared before Lin Yi.
No one knows when he entered the secret realm, but the fact that he could suddenly appear in front of several top-tier experts is quite remarkable.
Gui Shan, Bai Lianxian, and even Qian Huan Gui Ji all became serious.
Especially Qianhuan Guiji, after the opponent blocked Lin Yi's sword, she immediately struck out with several palms.
The eerie ghostly energy surged and roared towards the opponent, forcing him to release Lin Yi's sword.
He calmly took two steps back, letting Lin Yi be protected by the Thousand Illusion Ghost Princess.
“Impressive cultivation, impressive supernatural powers, but if I were to kill you, you would have no chance of survival.”
The man's voice was very magnetic, yet it made you feel as if you were being electrocuted, with a tingling sensation all over your body.
Who are you?
"My name is Bai Su. I greet you fellow Daoists."
Bai Su simply gave a name, without specifying whether it was a Taoist title or a life title; in any case, it didn't matter.
The important thing is that neither Guishan Daoren nor Bai Lianxian had ever seen such a top-tier expert.
The whole thing had a slightly eerie feel to it.
Lin Yi stared straight at him, then flipped through the Demon-Slaying Manual again. When he did, he saw Yan Qingqiu's status on the page.
[Status: Disguised as an illusion, engaging the enemy]
The Demon-Slaying Manual also comes with illustrations; the originally graceful and beautiful fox spirit has disappeared, replaced by a handsome young man.
This is really...
Sure enough, he knew it was impossible for a top expert to appear so easily.
Lin Yi also went to look for it with a "let's try our luck" attitude, since the Demon Extermination Manual only includes a few people.
Once a demon has been recorded in the Demon-Slaying Manual, there will be no page-turning reminder when you meet it again.
Lin Yi guessed that Bai Su might not be human, so he flipped through the pages and actually found it right away.
Very well, now they are facing a great demon who is 6,900 years old...
Chapter 243 Yan Qingqiu: Not a single one can fight.
Yan Qingqiu had put on a new disguise, which Lin Yi saw through, but dared not say anything.
Who knows what this vixen is up to by changing her identity? If I expose her and ruin her plans, won't my hatred level be instantly maxed out?
He assumed this was a powerful stranger and stepped forward, saying, "Senior Bai, you have quite the arrogance. You are indeed powerful, but do you really think that with the combined strength of all of us, we would be afraid of you?"
Lin Yi's words were quite bold and sounded quite convincing, but Xiao Zhao couldn't help but secretly criticize them.
With the addition of Thousand Illusion Ghost Princess and Returning Mountain Immortal, he has nothing to fear.
One is unpredictable and highly skilled, the other has ultimate defense, plus his Emperor's Sword is impervious to all magic, who in the world is he afraid of?
If he had so many strong teammates, why would he need to scheme so much?
Ha, it's nothing but a dog relying on its master's power, I don't care!
Yan Qingqiu merely chuckled at Lin Yi's threatening words.
"Whether you're scared or not, you'll find out once you try. However, if I go all out, I won't hold back. Have you thought it through?"
Lin Yi: "..."
He felt that Yan Qingqiu was implying that the words were meant for him alone, but he also felt that thinking that way was a bit presumptuous of him.
Firstly, it's unclear whether Yan Qingqiu is friend or foe to him. Secondly, Yan Qingqiu may not even know that he can see through her disguise.
This is purely a man's intuition.
Qianhuan Guiji looked at the man in front of her with a solemn expression. She had been the leader of the Hundred Ghosts Sect for many years, and had seen many powerful figures throughout the world, but few people could give her the same sense of pressure as the man in front of her.
The last time I felt like I had encountered someone invincible was in Xingsha City, at Lin Yi's home, when I faced that strange woman.
Once you reach the first rank, you have a general idea of whether you can take action, but whether you can win depends on what happens after you start.
If Qianhuan Guiji were alone, she could exchange a few blows with her opponent. What she feared was that her opponent would lack martial ethics and use Lin Yi as a breakthrough point.
"We will not fight for this secret realm."
The Thousand Illusions Ghost Princess made the decision on behalf of Lin Yi.
She never had much interest in the Demon Emperor's Secret Realm or the legacy left by the Demon Emperor. She always adhered to the principle of "since I'm already here," and "I'll just take a look," and she didn't have much resistance to exploring the Demon Emperor's Secret Realm.
But if this matter endangers Lin Yi's life, she will of course consider it carefully.
Seeing that Qianhuan Guiji had given in first, Bai Su nodded and said rather arrogantly, "You made a smart choice."
Wow, when it comes to showing off, I admire you the most.
However, just because Thousand Illusion Ghost Princess compromised doesn't mean others will.
Guishan Daoist scrutinized Yan Qingqiu for a long time but could not discern his origins, so naturally he would not let him obtain the Demon Emperor's Secret Realm.
In his view, it was fine if a human obtained the Demon Emperor's Secret Realm, and it was also fine if the Demon Emperor's son obtained the Secret Realm. The only problem was that if a human or a demon of unknown origin obtained the Demon Emperor's Secret Realm, there would likely be a lot of trouble for them in the future.
Moreover, by then, he might not even have the ability to solve the problem.
He said in a deep voice, "This fellow Daoist looks unfamiliar. May I ask which deity you are?"
"People from the mountains and fields cannot be considered saints."
"Since you live in the mountains, why do you come down and step into this bustling world?"
"It's just what's needed for spiritual practice."
The conversation ended unhappily, as Guishan Daoist still couldn't figure out Yan Qingqiu's true nature and couldn't tell whether she was human or demon.
However, Master Guishan already knew her attitude. If her origins were clear, she could simply state her identity at this time, whether she was human or demon. Her evasiveness indicated that her motives were impure.
In that case, how could Master Guishan hand over the Demon Emperor's Secret Realm?
"Since you are unwilling to frankly admit your origins, then let this humble Taoist priest experience your superior skills!"
The Taoist priest took a step forward and arrived in front of "Bai Su". He threw a punch, as if he wanted to fight "Bai Su" hand-to-hand.
Bai Su did not dodge, but raised her hand and threw a punch. The two fists collided, and they both withdrew their hands and stood facing each other.
Bai Su touched her fist and sighed, "I have long heard of the True Man Guishan's reputation as 'Immovable as a Mountain.' Seeing it today, I can confirm that it is indeed well-deserved. This punch felt no different from hitting a stone wall. It hurts quite a bit."
Upon hearing this, Master Guishan's expression turned quite grim.
Bai Su's words seemed to be praising his prowess, but in reality, the collision between the two was not just a simple punch. In a battle between masters, the point is always reached.
A single exchange of blows is enough to understand the difference in strength between the enemy and ourselves.
This punch only caused Bai Su a little pain, but Master Guishan's wrist was dislocated due to a strange force.
Since he mastered his divine skills, he has fought countless battles, but this is the first time he has suffered such a serious injury.
In the past, it would only result in a scrape, but now it can even damage the bone.
What does this mean?
The other party truly had the ability to kill him.
There are countless powerful people in the world, when did such a ruthless person suddenly appear?
The Taoist priest was horrified, and his face twisted in shock.
Her already ugly face became even uglier.
Bai Lianxian originally wanted to go up and test her skills against this "Bai Su," but after glancing at Guishan Zhenren, she almost died on the spot, completely losing her fighting power.
