I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

The first time they met, Yan Qingqiu didn't kill him, but Lin Yi couldn't guarantee that Yan Qingqiu wouldn't kill him every time, especially since he had caught her doing something bad again this time.

Lin Yi didn't think that Yan Qingqiu went to such lengths just to kill a few Taoist disciples. Didn't that person suspect that Yan Qingqiu was a Buddhist when he died?

Judging from the bursts of Buddhist light when Yan Qingqiu made his move, he most likely used Buddhist supernatural powers.

Doesn't this make things instantly clear?

If Yan Qingqiu were to discover him at this moment, he would most likely be in grave danger.

Even if he and Bai Lianxian joined forces, there was a high probability that neither of them would survive.

At least one of them will die, or both will be killed by Yan Qingqiu.

Lin Yi quickly held Bai Lianxian down, signaling her not to move.

Bai Lianxian also noticed Yan Qingqiu. Seeing how nervous Lin Yi was, she naturally knew the importance of the situation. As a snake, she was also very sensitive to danger and knew that she couldn't make a sound now.

But Lin Yi, that brat, had to hold her head down at that very moment.

Although she knew that Lin Yi's reaction was subconscious in the heat of the moment, she still felt very uncomfortable, but dared not make a sound, so she could only endure it.

After killing someone, Yan Qingqiu did not leave immediately. She surveyed the surroundings again but found no witnesses. She then made some simple arrangements at the scene, grabbed the victim's hand, and carved a blood-written Buddhist seal on his palm.

Only then did she calmly leave.

Every time her gaze swept towards Lin Yi, Lin Yi panicked terribly.

He should have known better than to drag Bai Lianxian to fight in the wilderness. This world is too dangerous. Even though he has over three thousand years of cultivation and is considered a high-level fighter in this world.

When facing a truly powerful opponent, there's no way to escape when death is imminent.

Fortunately, Yan Qingqiu did not notice.

Lin Yi felt a little relieved after observing her walk away with his Heavenly Eye. He breathed a sigh of relief and dared not stay on the island in the middle of the river any longer.

"Let's go back first; we shouldn't stay here any longer."

Not to mention the possibility that Yan Qingqiu might return, the fact that two people died not far away is enough to kill any interest in staying here to admire the moon.

What about those two people?

Bai Lianxian didn't see many details, but she knew that the deaths of these two people were not so simple.

There are many powerful figures in this world who can make her bow her head, but there are very few who can make her dare not show her face.

For such a powerful figure to personally kill two ordinary Taoist priests, he must have had a ulterior motive.

Bai Lianxian was curious about Lin Yi's thoughts. Given his personality, he should be figuring out how to ensure justice was served.

"Never mind that for now, let's hide first."

Lin Yi wasn't unwilling to get involved, but it was too dangerous to do so now; Yan Qingqiu might be the one fishing for his scheme.

He didn't even start running away immediately, but instead asked Bai Lianxian, "Can you burrow underground?"

"I know a little bit."

Bai Lianxian's expression was somewhat strange.

She's an earth-walking snake, and when it comes to burrowing underground, she's confident she's second to none, human or demon.

But since Lin Yi had already asked, she decided to be modest.

"Okay, if you know a little bit, just grab me. Let's hide underground for now. I'm worried she might come back, so it's better to be careful."

Lin Yi only knew basic earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a technique for escaping through the earth), and since Bai Lianxian knew a little bit, that was perfect. The two of them used earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a technique for escaping through the earth) together and immediately disappeared underground.

There will be slight fluctuations in magical power when going underground, but there is no other way. After considering various situations, Lin Yi felt that going underground was the safest option.

He could hide underground for a while, and if Bai Lianxian hadn't come by dawn, he wouldn't be afraid after returning to Xingsha City.

After getting off the ground, Lin Yi did not use his Heavenly Eye to observe again. The Heavenly Eye still allowed him to transform into the sky and survey the surroundings, but Lin Yi had a better method.

When the Demon-Slaying Manual was turned to the night of Yan Qingqiu, it showed her condition.

[Status: While on the island in the middle of the river, he sensed someone watching him. After searching everywhere but finding no one, he became suspicious and pretended to leave, waiting for his prey to make a mistake.]

Very good, Lin Yi felt as if he had returned to the time when he was outwitting and outmaneuvering the spider demon.

This might be his destiny. Every time he improves his cultivation, he encounters powerful bosses that he can't defeat, each one more outrageous than the last.

Fortunately, there is the Demon-Slaying Manual, which allows for precise observation of the opponent's condition. With this, one can turn misfortune into good fortune.

Just like now, he knew that Yan Qingqiu was waiting outside, which is why he decided to hide.

Anyway, Yan Qingqiu doesn't know where they are, so let them just wait it out!

Bai Lianxian had no idea that Lin Yi possessed such abilities. Seeing that Lin Yi had led her underground but showed no intention of leaving, she couldn't help but let her imagination run wild.

They said they were worried about being ambushed on the way. With just the two of them, if they were ambushed, they might not be able to win, but could they really not escape?

Moreover, this place is very close to Xingsha City. If the two of them travel at full speed, they can reach Xingsha City in less than a quarter of an hour.

Even if he gets held up and can't get there quickly, if he shouts for help from afar, Jiang Linglong and Qianhuan Guiji will probably rush to his aid.

Bai Lianxian couldn't understand what Lin Yi was afraid of.

Since he wasn't afraid, his purpose was quite clear.

Being on an island in the middle of the river is an open-air place, and people might come by. Plus, someone just died on the island, so it's definitely not a good place.

But once underground, the space was cramped and deserted, which made it very private.

Isn't this the perfect place to do bad things?

That naughty little brother of mine is so bad!

Even though he was thinking about all this, he still didn't say anything.

Bai Lianxian chuckled. She actually liked Lin Yi, who was a fake righteous person.

"Little brother, since we're not going back and have nothing else to do, shouldn't we at least make the most of this precious time?"

As she spoke, she moved closer to Lin Yi, and while she was burrowing underground, she casually dug out an underground space.

While Lin Yi was still studying the Demon-Slaying Manual, Bai Lianxian had already begun to continue the great task she had just finished, moving in a serpentine path straight towards her target.

Lin Yi had been teased by her all night, how could he stand being wronged like this!

He grabbed Bai Lianxian's arm and made her turn around...

The island in the middle of the river is sparsely populated, but the waters near the island are teeming with river shrimp and crabs.

On this day, countless fish and shrimp suddenly began to riot in the calm water, fleeing the island in the middle of the river as if their lives depended on it.

Downstream, an elderly fisherman saw this strange sight and his expression changed immediately.

Could it be that a dragon has risen from the earth here?

Chapter 294 The Murderer Huijue

The earthquake on Jiangxin Island was discovered in the early morning.

Lin Yi observed through the Demon-Slaying Manual that Yan Qingqiu had left, so he released the restrictions and unleashed his full power to teach Bai Lianxian a lesson.

I never expected the commotion to be so big.

It was too late for Bai Lianxian to admit her mistake; Lin Yi was determined to teach her a lesson.

Afterwards, Bai Lianxian lay on the ground, like a dead snake.

"Do you know you were wrong?"

Bai Lianxian nodded repeatedly.

"Do you dare to do it next time?"

Bai Lianxian nodded heavily, and although she was very tired, she still said firmly, "I'll definitely do it next time!"

Lin Yi: "..."

He really had no way to deal with this snake.

What's even more troublesome is that he was very assertive when he left, saying that he would give Jiang Linglong and Qianhuan Guiji an explanation when he got back.

Now, how is he supposed to explain this?

The more defiant they were then, the more pathetic they are now.

but……

The taste of the tongue and waist was really good; he began to understand Xu Xian a little better.

A moment later, Bai Lianxian recovered her energy, and the two returned to the ground together.

Now that the danger had passed, Lin Yi carefully examined the corpse for a while.

Judging from their clothing, they should be Taoist priests of the Dan Ding School.

The Taoist school is broadly divided into two factions: the Dan Ding School and the Chun Yang School. The Dan Ding School advocates using external objects for cultivation, while the Chun Yang School advocates cultivating oneself.

The two are a clash of ideologies, but both belong to the Taoist school, just like the difference between cultivating qi and cultivating spirit. There is no inherent superiority or inferiority between the two; they are simply different choices.

Many Taoist temples have both sects. For example, Longhu Mountain has half of its Taoist priests from the Chunyang sect and half from the Danding sect.

The Dan Ding School is more involved in worldly affairs and generally establishes a greater influence in the secular world, while the Chun Yang School has more hermits who prefer to hide in deep mountains and forests.

The robes of the Dan Ding School are left-fastening, while those of the Chun Yang School are right-fastening; this is an important distinguishing feature between them.

Lin Yi pondered to himself that the two must have gone to Xingsha City to complete some kind of mission, but they chose to rest in this remote place. Perhaps Yan Qingqiu chose this place to make his move.

Given the remoteness of the island, it may take some time to find the two bodies.

If you're unlucky, the body might decompose and no one will even notice...

Wait, it's October now. The busy farming season has just ended, and people living along the Xiangjiang River are starting to prepare for winter.

Few people visit the island in the middle of the river. That's normal. When it's time to fish, it's common for fishermen to stop on the island to rest when they come and go in their boats.

By then, it won't take long to discover the body.

The fact that these two died in such a secluded place further suggests that they were murdered. Truly a master of detail, as expected of a fox.

Lin Yi didn't touch the body; he was pondering what he should do.

Yan Qingqiu's target seems to be Buddhism, but in the conversation between the two last night, the new emperor clearly intended to establish Buddhism as the state religion. Yan Qingqiu and Xiao Zhao are in cahoots, so they've had a falling out.
