I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

There's no need for her to stubbornly fight to the death when the opponent becomes stronger.

"This matter is not over yet. You stole my dragon energy, and I will repay you tenfold in the future!"

Yan Qingqiu made a harsh statement, but worried that Lin Yi would harm Xiao Zhao. So he raised his hand to grab Xiao Zhao, and then raised his hand again to try to take away Elder Huai, but was interrupted by Jiang Linglong wielding her sword.

Is rescuing someone in front of her not treating her like a decoration?

Poor old Huai was well hidden, and while the big shots were all fighting, no one paid any attention to him. Now that Yan Qingqiu had pulled him out, Jiang Linglong immediately locked onto him.

With that single sword strike, he was instantly cleaved in two. At the same time, the fire from the Demon-Slaying Sword ignited both halves of his body. In the raging flames, Elder Huai was reduced to ashes in just a moment.

Lin Yi wanted to finish him off, but he didn't have time.

Lin Yi felt a pang of heartache; this was all his accumulated skill!

All gone!

Seeing how fierce Jiang Linglong was and how terrifying the Demon-Slaying Sword was, Yan Qingqiu didn't dare to linger any longer. Having already uttered her harsh words, her next step was naturally to run away.

No one present expected that Xiao Zhao, the suspected mastermind, and "Bai Su" would be driven away by Jiang Linglong, who suddenly appeared. But the story in the secret realm was not over yet...

Chapter 247 He Dong Regains His Freedom

Seeing Jiang Linglong display her power and easily drive away Yan Qingqiu, Lin Yi finally felt safe.

Since Jiang Linglong left, he hasn't had a single day of peace. Although he levels up quickly, he's been working hard day and night, and no matter how much his strength improves, he always encounters enemies he can't handle.

As soon as Jiang Linglong appeared, all the enemies ran away.

Isn't living off a woman better than getting an upgrade?

However, before Lin Yi could relax, a small, icy hand suddenly landed on his neck, making him shiver.

The one who grabbed his neck was none other than the Thousand Illusion Ghost Princess.

Lin Yi was truly surprised by how things unfolded. Previously, when facing Yan Qingqiu, Qianhuan Guiji had been very protective of him, but now that Jiang Linglong had appeared and driven away their common enemy, Yan Qingqiu, Qianhuan Guiji had immediately turned against him.

If it weren't for her previous protection, she wouldn't have been able to control Lin Yi so quickly and touch his vital points.

Seeing this, Jiang Linglong's anger, which had been subsiding, reignited. This time, not only were her eyes red, but two sharp teeth were also showing at the corners of her mouth.

The angrier she gets, the closer her form becomes to the true form of the Corpse King. Even so, she only gains a touch more alluring beauty, but she doesn't become terrifying because of her two sharp fangs.

"Let him go!"

Jiang Linglong's eyes were filled with murderous intent, but for Lin Yi's safety, she dared not make any rash moves.

Qianhuan Guiji knew how powerful Jiang Linglong was; otherwise, she wouldn't have needed to take Lin Yi hostage.

Lin Yi and Jiang Linglong are definitely in cahoots, otherwise why would he have warned them to be careful of the claws?

Qianhuan Guiji suddenly understood why Lin Yi insisted on coming to Tongtian River. There was such a master hidden here, and he must want to get Jiang Linglong's help to find a way to escape.

How can this be allowed?

If Lin Yi really falls into Jiang Linglong's arms, Qianhuan Guiji has no confidence in snatching him away from Jiang Linglong.

Therefore, at this point, the only option is to strike first.

"Let us go, and I will not harm him; otherwise, we will perish here!"

Lin Yi felt a chill run down his spine. He could sense that Qianhuan Guiji wasn't lying; she seemed to genuinely think that way.

If Jiang Linglong doesn't let them leave, then with Jiang Linglong as his backer, Lin Yi definitely won't go back to her side.

Rather than this, we might as well die together now.

Qianhuan Guiji whispered in Lin Yi's ear, "You'd better persuade her to compromise, otherwise, I'll kill Xueji first, and then you."

Lin Yi: "..."

Is this how a crazy woman does things?

When there are enemies, she can stand up for you and block all the enemies; when there are no enemies, she herself becomes the enemy.

However, the current situation is somewhat different from Lin Yi's expectations, but not too different.

He knew that even if he found Jiang Linglong, it wouldn't solve one problem: He Dong was still in the hands of Qianhuan Guiji.

Lin Yi was certainly plotting to steal He Dong, but things always went awry. Yan Qingqiu's appearance briefly formed an alliance between them, and Lin Yi didn't have a good opportunity to make his move.

As soon as Yan Qingqiu left, Qianhuan Guiji immediately made her move again. The whole process was seamless, leaving Lin Yi with virtually no room to maneuver.

Upon hearing Qianhuan Guiji's request, Lin Yi had no choice but to look at Jiang Linglong.

He didn't speak, but he was subtly hinting to Jiang Linglong with his eyes that she should agree.

This sudden turn of events shocked the onlookers, and Qu Jing was even more puzzled. Wasn't this Lin Yi's sister? Why was she suddenly attacking?

And Xiao Se, why did the clouds and mist left by the Demon Emperor turn into rain when they floated above Xiao Se? Is this person related to the Demon Emperor?

There were so many melons that she couldn't possibly keep up with them all.

Although Jiang Linglong was furious, she could only suppress her anger and gradually calm it down.

"I agree to your terms, but if you dare to harm him in the slightest, I will grind you to dust!"

Jiang Linglong keeps her word. If Qianhuan Guiji dares to break her promise, she will chase her to the ends of the earth and kill her!

Upon hearing this, the Thousand Illusion Ghost Princess merely chuckled.

She knew that she had achieved her goal.

"Get out of the way!"

"and many more!"

At this moment, Lin Yi suddenly spoke up, saying, "Release He Dong first, and then I'll go with you."

Qianhuan Guiji then took out a jar and smashed it on the ground. The formation that had trapped He Dong finally disappeared, and He Dong was finally free.

But her freedom was something Lin Yi had traded for, so she couldn't be happy at this moment.

The Thousand Illusions Ghost Princess threw He Dong's painted skin over again. According to the agreement, she had lost the bet, but who told her to break her promise!

Returning the skin was her last act of mercy, but Lin Yi was hers, and she wouldn't let anyone take him away in any way!

Jiang Linglong made way for Qianhuan Guiji, who carefully retreated. As she passed Xiaose, she glanced at the young man bathed in the rain of Daoist energy and suddenly felt a strange sensation.

But Qianhuan Guiji only wanted to leave with Lin Yi and didn't want to cause any trouble, so she didn't think much of it until she hurriedly walked to the cemetery and suddenly felt her hand go empty.

Lin Yi, who should have been under her control, was standing next to Xiao Se, and at this moment, the distance between him and Jiang Linglong was closer than the distance between them.

It's impossible to take Lin Yi hostage from Jiang Linglong again.

"hateful!"

At this moment, Qianhuan Guiji knew that she had been tricked. After seeing Xiaose, she entered a dream, thinking that she was still holding Lin Yi hostage. In reality, she put Lin Yi down and walked forward a while like a sleepwalker before suddenly waking up.

She was unaware of this method that could suddenly induce a dream, which is why she fell for it. Now that she realizes it, it's too late.

Jiang Linglong flew after him, and Qianhuan Guiji, without thinking, still gave Lin Yi a deep look.

"You can't escape!"

Lin Yi: "..."

You might not believe it, but next time we meet, you might not be able to beat me.

However, the Thousand Illusion Ghost Princess is different from other opponents. Her most troublesome aspect is that she lacks martial ethics.

Admittedly, she may not be the strongest, but if she were to use her first-grade cultivation to ambush someone below the first grade, she would have no chance of failing. Then she could use the other person's life to threaten Lin Yi and force him to give up his resistance, and Lin Yi would be powerless against her.

Jiang Linglong angrily chased after her, wanting to kill Qianhuan Guiji right now.

But Qianhuan Guiji is like a thief; she attacks those she can defeat, and takes hostages to coerce those she can't. Once there are no more hostages, she runs away as fast as she can.

This was indeed the most unethical first-rank expert Lin Yi had ever seen.

Jiang Linglong was also worried that she had fallen for the other party's trick of luring her away from the mountain, so she dared not pursue them too far and quickly returned to Lin Yi's side, saying, "I'm worried that this woman won't let this go. From now on, I'll stay by your side and protect you!"

Protection was just a side effect; preventing thieves was the most important thing. Her gaze swept over all the girls present, including Xiaocao.

Let me see, with me guarding this place, who dares to steal any food!

Chapter 248 My soup was cooked at the wrong time.

After Yan Qingqiu left, another boss has exited the stage, and He Dong has also been successfully rescued, so it can be considered a happy ending for everyone.

Coincidentally, almost all the girls Lin Yi had been close to since his transmigration have now arrived.

We can disregard Wang Jinxuan's apprentice for now.

Here, there was his ghost wife, his master, and the female demon who had always lusted after her. He could almost feel Jiang Linglong's hostility towards the others. Lin Yi dared not be too close to Jiang Linglong, lest he incur the resentment of the others, nor dared to be too cold to Jiang Linglong, lest he hurt her.

Lin Yi himself was unsure of the appropriate measure, feeling as if he were walking a tightrope with every step.

Besides catching up with Jiang Linglong, he also had to comfort He Dong, who had just escaped trouble. The order in which they went first was also very important.

Upon hearing Jiang Linglong's worried words, Lin Yi simply nodded, then looked at Xiao Se, who was bathed in the rain of Daoist energy, with concern, and asked, "Will he be alright?"

There are priorities. It's important to comfort He Dong and Jiang Linglong, who have regained their freedom, but even more important is the life of our brother.

At least those two are safe for now, but Xiao Se's situation remains unknown.

This approach, while not the optimal solution, is the only one that won't immediately trigger a conflict.

He Dong and Jiang Linglong are both extremely jealous, as Lin Yi has seen before. The two have never officially met, but it's very likely that their first encounter will be a fierce battle between a ghost and a zombie.

Now that he prioritizes one man, the other two won't be jealous, right?

I was so clever!

However, Lin Yi was indeed somewhat worried about Xiao Se.

Just now, Qianhuan Guiji suddenly acted strangely when she passed by Xiao Se. She suddenly released him and continued to walk forward as if she were holding him hostage.

Clearly, it was Xiao Se, or something around Xiao Se, who tampered with Qianhuan Guiji's scheme.

Lin Yi then recalled his previous experience. In his dream, he made a wish to successfully rescue He Dong. When Lin Yi was being held hostage, he saw Qianhuan Guiji release He Dong and thought his wish had been fulfilled. He didn't expect there to be a follow-up.

The one who could make the Thousand Illusion Ghost Princess act abnormally could not be Xiao Se; it could only be the former Demon Emperor.

Since the Demon Emperor can still help him fulfill his wish, it's possible that the Demon Emperor never died from the beginning. Xiao Se, who is currently receiving the Demon Emperor's Daoist aura, might be the reincarnation vessel prepared by the Demon Emperor.
