I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

"Lin Yi!"

"what happened?"

Lin Yi looked at He Dong, but He Dong couldn't say anything, so he changed his mind and said, "You saved me this time, so I'll give you ten thousand gold coins."

"No need, I'll save you for free, I'll just give you one gold coin every day."

Only he and He Dong understood the meaning behind those words. Upon hearing this, He Dong was overjoyed, though somewhat annoyed that Lin Yi had teased her in front of everyone. She merely rolled her eyes at him, and her sourness lessened considerably.

"You're the one who doesn't want it, so don't blame me for being unfair later."

Very good. Judging from this, He Dong seems to have sorted things out. Next, as long as Jiang Linglong is dealt with, this whole mess will be over...

Chapter 250 Everything is settled

With everything settled, Lin Yi silently made a summary in his mind.

Wang Jinxuan was just an ordinary person, a target for Wang An to draw fire for himself, but Wang An himself was only a part of Xiao Zhao's scheme.

Both Wang Jinxuan and Wang Liang were victims; however, while being a victim, Wang Liang also harmed others.

Xiao Zhao and Yan Qingqiu's plot to seize the Demon Emperor's Secret Realm failed, and they were driven away by Jiang Linglong. What Yan Qingqiu had plotted to seize is now in Jiang Linglong's possession.

Whether Jiang Linglong's appearance here is a coincidence or someone's arrangement is still inconclusive. However, Lin Yi doesn't really believe in coincidences.

Xiao Se is undoubtedly the son of the Demon Emperor and has inherited the Demon Emperor's legacy, but Lin Yi is unsure whether the Demon Emperor has tampered with Xiao Se's body.

Currently, the remaining issues include whether the inheritance Xiao Se obtained is safe, the Thousand Illusion Ghost Princess's secret lurking, and the biggest problem is the several jealous people around him.

Lin Yi didn't know when they would explode, so he could only try his best to maintain stability.

At this point, there was nothing left to explore in the Demon Emperor's Secret Realm, so everyone decided to leave. They followed the original path out of the Demon Emperor's Secret Realm and had no trouble passing by, and did not see anyone else.

"Young friend Lin, let's part ways here."

Master Guishan was the first to take his leave. To be honest, as a first-rank cultivator, his mental state and cultivation were quite good, but with so many handsome men and beautiful women around him, and Bai Lianxian who always complained about his ugliness, he felt uncomfortable staying there.

He had already said he didn't want anything from the Demon Emperor's Secret Realm, so after getting nothing, he simply left.

Lin Yi was naturally grateful for Master Guishan's great help. Although the outcome wouldn't have been affected by whether he intervened or not, he was indeed Lin Yi's greatest reliance before Jiang Linglong appeared.

We cannot use the result to negate the contributions of others in the process. It's just that Lin Yi is currently quite poor and has nothing to compensate Master Guishan.

He suggested that Master Guishan stay for a meal, but Master Guishan declined, so Lin Yi did not insist.

After watching the ugly old man leave, Bai Lianxian glanced fearfully at Jiang Linglong again. Compared to her, the ugly old man wasn't so scary at all. After all, the old man only frightened demons, while this woman truly killed them!

"Um, I'll go too!" Bai Lianxian said weakly.

Long ago, she thought she was a powerful demon king, but this time when she went out, she realized that she was nothing but beautiful.

There are countless powerful people in the world. If a beauty like her didn't have great strength, she would definitely be coveted by others.

A beauty like Lin Yi is always coveted by the powerful. Beauty is only meant for the strong!

Bai Lianxian decided to go home and cultivate in seclusion for at least half a month this time!

Lin Yi was more than willing to accept Bai Lianxian leaving; every time she left, there was one less ticking time bomb. But one can't be too heartless; she had certainly put in a lot of effort along the way, even if she hadn't done anything particularly meritorious.

"As agreed, you should have a share of the spoils from the Demon Emperor's Secret Realm. However, there's nothing inside to give you right now, and I can't let you make this trip for nothing. Consider this a favor I owe you. If you ever need anything in the future, I will do my best to help you."

He was so poor that he didn't have any valuables, so Lin Yi could only make an empty promise, which was at least a token gesture.

Bai Lianxian was deeply moved: "I thought you would no longer recognize me as your sister after you found someone new. Good brother, I don't want your things. I just hope you will come to Lingling to see me often in the future, and then we can have a heart-to-heart talk."

Lin Yi: "..."

At that moment, Lin Yi felt as if the air itself had frozen.

Good grief, you're so timid and hesitant when facing the enemy, but you're ruthless and decisive when attacking your own troops!

The expressions of everyone present toward Lin Yi became much stranger, with He Dong and Jiang Linglong both looking resentful.

Their faces seemed to say, "Can you tell me properly how you had that heart-to-heart talk with the vixen?"

Bai Lianxian felt Jiang Linglong's fierce gaze and, out of fear, only said goodbye before hurriedly leaving.

After she ran away, she didn't care about the raging flood behind her.

Lin Yi had just been relieved that He Dong was easy to handle when Bai Lianxian made him so jealous. This woman must be from the demolition team!

"Don't misunderstand. I met Bai Lianxian because of the circumstances. My relationship with her is innocent."

Lin Yi was already very careful with his words, but he still couldn't avoid using the word "you".

He Dong didn't get angry, but said quietly, "Of course I believe you, but since you have a new friend, why don't you introduce him to me?"

He Dong refers to Jiang Linglong.

Jiang Linglong's appearance brought her a great sense of crisis, not only because Jiang Linglong had the ability to kill her at will, but also because Jiang Linglong could completely replace her.

From now on, Lin Yi will no longer need her protection, and Jiang Linglong is powerful enough to give Lin Yi a sense of security.

Jiang Linglong is also prettier, and most importantly, she has a body that can satisfy Lin Yi's various needs.

Moreover, she exudes an air of nobility that comes with being in a superior position, something I can't match in any aspect.

Because he knew the truth all along, He Dong felt even more resentful.

With things having come to this point, Lin Yi had no choice but to explain, "I hadn't found a suitable opportunity before, but now that you've met, let me introduce her. Her name is Jiang Linglong."

and then?

Not only He Dong, but Qu Jing and Xiao Se were also quietly paying attention to this issue. They didn't speak up, simply because they didn't have a suitable identity to question it.

One is a brother, the other is a master; how could I possibly ask?

If He Dong could help ask, that would be the best outcome.

He Dong was naturally very dissatisfied with Lin Yi's answer; how could just saying a name be enough?

Instead of being honest about how they met and how far things progressed, they were trying to cover things up, which indicates a serious problem.

Jiang Linglong was also slightly dissatisfied. She really wanted to hear how Lin Yi defined their relationship, but Lin Yi only mentioned a name. Did this mean that he didn't value her enough?

For a moment, Jiang Linglong's gaze towards Lin Yi held a hint of grievance.

Although Lin Yi sensed that the atmosphere was not right, he did not take any remedial measures. Instead, he changed the subject and said, "After leaving the secret realm, I have not seen Jin Xuan along the way. No matter what choice she made, I have to go and find her and bring her back."

As he spoke, Lin Yi twitched his nose, but then he thought to himself, "I already have the Heavenly Eye, why should I use my nose? Why not be Erlang Shen instead of the Howling Celestial Dog?"

He focused his mind on the space between his eyebrows, using his thoughts to stimulate the hidden eye. In a daze, Lin Yi's perspective changed, and he felt as if he were standing on a cloud, looking down at everything below.

From his perspective, he could even see the people around him. Moreover, in his field of vision, each person was emanating an aura of a different color.

He Dong is black, Qu Jing is red, Xiao Se is purple, and Jiang Linglong is gold.

Hey, where's the grass?

Lin Yi remembered that he held desolation in his left hand and grass in his right. Now, everyone else was there, but he and the grass were nowhere to be seen…

Chapter 251 The Shura Field May Be Late, But It Will Not Be Absent

Lin Yi had long noticed something unusual about the grass, and it was only under the watchful eye of the heavens today that his suspicions were confirmed.

Even Jiang Linglong revealed her aura under the Heavenly Eye, but Xiao Cao showed no aura at all. If it weren't for Xiao Se, Lin Yi wouldn't have been able to locate her.

Lin Yi didn't spend too much time spying on Xiao Cao. After all, his apprentice had his own good fortune, and he just focused on doing what a master should do.

He adjusted his gaze and looked into the distance, and soon spotted Wang Jinxuan.

She was digging a pit by the river, and there were two corpses on the ground, one was Wang Liang's and the other was Wang Qian's.

Lin Yi was immediately surprised. How could Wang Qian be dead?

Did they encounter enemies earlier?

Upon closer inspection, Lin Yi noticed obvious burn marks on Wang Qian's body, which looked as if he had been burned by Lin Yi's talisman.

Thinking of the talisman he had left for Wang Jinxuan, Lin Yi already had a script in his mind.

The brother and sister argued because of their differing opinions, and in a fit of anger, they fought. Wang Jinxuan had no other means and was unaware of the power of the talisman he had given her, so he accidentally killed Wang Qian.

If things really develop this way, Lin Yi will be deeply guilty.

Although Wang Jinxuan is a notorious troublemaker and a thorn in her side, she has deep feelings for her father and brothers.

Now that she has suffered such a great change, Wang Qian is her only family. If he were to die at her hands, Wang Jinxuan doesn't know if she could bear it.

With a sigh in his heart, Lin Yi also withdrew his supernatural powers.

"I've already found Jinxuan. I'll go find her later. Let her have some peace and quiet for now."

Lin Yi was certain that Wang Jinxuan was not far away, and within this area, he could guarantee Wang Jinxuan's safety.

When she needs to be alone, he doesn't disturb her; that's Lin Yi's gentleness.

The others had no objections to the decision; none of them had anything urgent to attend to, so staying there for a while wouldn't hurt.

Since she had nothing else to do, Qu Jing asked, "Now that things are settled here, what are your plans?"

The matter of the Demon Emperor's Secret Realm has come to an end. Although there may be some follow-up troubles, compared to the previous intense pressure, they probably don't have to worry about anything now.

Qu Jing asked casually, and since she was also quite interested in it, everyone else naturally turned to look.

Lin Yi hadn't thought about this issue before. The pressure to survive was too great, and he was focused on how to escape, how to rescue people, and how to improve his strength.

Now that Jiang Linglong is back, there's no need to worry about any of that anymore.

He can now think carefully about how to live his life from now on.

Of course, a person who does not plan for the future will have trouble in the present. Lin Yi did not want to waste his fighting spirit in a too comfortable environment.

"Next, I'll probably find a place to live in anonymity and become a lowly constable in the Jingye Division, slaying demons and monsters and bringing peace to the people at night."

There's no need to go back to Xingsha City. Guan Buping is almost fully recovered. Lin Yi plans to find him a doctor, since heart failure is a serious condition that needs to be treated as soon as possible, otherwise Brother Guan won't have the courage to accept Bao Sanniang.

The couple I ship must become a real couple!

After curing Guan Ge, Lin Yi didn't plan to take care of him anymore. After all, he wasn't a nanny and couldn't stay in one place all the time.

If Guan Buping ever needs his help in the future, he will naturally help if he can.

Upon hearing that Lin Yi was planning to move to another city, Jiang Linglong quickly asked, "Where do you want to go?"
