I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

Lin Yi pinched his chin and immediately had an idea.

There are two possibilities. One is that Xiao Zhao betrayed Yan Qingqiu and sided with Buddhism, so Yan Qingqiu began to target Buddhism in order to take revenge on Buddhism and Xiao Zhao.

Another possibility is that Yan Qingqiu and Xiao Zhao are playing a grand game, instigating conflict between Buddhism and Taoism.

Now the Taoist sect is the most powerful force in the world. The Buddhist sect is not weaker than others. Now that the imperial court has intervened and given the Buddhist sect a hand, will the Taoist sect accept this?

What will the Taoist sect do if Yan Qingqiu uses Buddhist teachings to indiscriminately kill Taoist members?

This is an open conspiracy. Even if the Taoist and Buddhist sects can see that someone is deliberately causing trouble, so what?

Thinking of this, Lin Yi couldn't help but take a deep breath.

He hoped it was the first possibility, just revenge to vent his anger, and that would have no greater impact. But if their goal was to provoke a conflict between Taoism and Buddhism, the number of people who would die would not be small.

He had to stop this.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Yi took out a pair of thin silk gloves from his cloud bag, put them on, grabbed the hand of one of the victims, and wrote a few words on the ground: "The murderer is Huijue."

Bai Lianxian was dumbfounded, staring blankly at Lin Yi, and asked, "Are you in cahoots with that guy from last night?"

That's outrageous!

She had heard of Huijue before; he was the abbot of Jiming Temple, a highly virtuous Buddhist monk from the Southern Dynasties, whose Buddhist teachings were profound and who compassionately guided people.

He traveled the world, and his reputation for compassion spread throughout the country.

It's understandable that Lin Yi wanted to frame the monk, but isn't it a bit too much to frame such a monk?

Who could believe that?

If you're going to make something up, at least make it believable. They haven't left Jiankang for years, so how could they possibly come to Xingsha County to kill someone?

"Don't be impatient, just watch the show."

Lin Yi was certainly not helping Yan Qingqiu; on the contrary, he was making things worse.

Yan Qingqiu's actions pointed the clues to Buddhism, and no one could say for sure whether someone was plotting against Buddhism or whether Buddhism was actually doing something bad.

Lin Yi's writing of this is tantamount to confirming the facts.

If Lin Yi directly said that he was a witness, he would easily put himself in the spotlight. After what happened in the Demon Emperor's Secret Realm, he didn't want to attract so much attention.

The fact that he wrote this sentence makes people think that the person causing trouble is really outrageous.

Actually, Lin Yi didn't insist on writing about Huijue; it was just that Huijue was the only very famous monk he had ever heard of.

There was a Master Huilan in his dream before. Lin Yi recalled that dream and realized that he had taken away her opportunity. He was too embarrassed to write her name again. Besides, the master in the dream might not really exist in reality, so he could only write Huijue.

Bai Lianxian tilted her head, not understanding Lin Yi's actions, but she didn't ask.

Lin Yi is handsome, so whatever he does is right.

Let's go back!

"Uh, are you sure you want to take me back with you?"

Bai Lianxian is now somewhat afraid.

Although she was very brave when she caused trouble yesterday, she will not forget that Jiang Linglong took out the Demon-Slaying Sword on the spot.

If she went back and Jiang Linglong found out that she had secretly eaten her brother's food, she would probably draw her sword and cut her into more than ten pieces.

I'd better stay away for now; I can't afford to mess with them.

"Whatever, I'm not afraid."

Although he was terrified, Lin Yi still showed his brave and fearless side.

A real man is never afraid of his wife!

absolute!

"Alright, go back by yourself. I'll wait for you at your well tonight."

Lin Yi: "..."

Could you please not make it so terrifying?

Despite his complaints, Lin Yi still felt that Bai Lianxian was very sensible, saving his face while avoiding danger.

The two parted ways outside the city, and Lin Yi hurriedly returned home alone.

As soon as Lin Yi entered the front yard, he saw Shang Chang'er fighting with Wang Jinxuan, while Xiao Cao watched silently from the side.

Seeing that they seemed to be just sparring, Lin Yi didn't interrupt them and quietly slipped away.

After taking only three steps, Lin Yi froze completely.

Why are Xiaocao and Wang Jinxuan here?

Chapter 295 Coup

Lin Yi knew that He Dong had arrived here last night, but He Dong was a ghost, so why did Wang Jinxuan and Xiao Cao arrive today?

Lin Yi had a bad feeling and quickly activated his Heavenly Eye to take a look. Good heavens, a group of people were indeed gathered together.

In the front hall, Jiang Linglong and Qianhuan Guiji sat facing east, Qu Jing and He Dong faced south, and Xiao Se sat alone facing west; almost everyone had arrived.

They sat upright, not exchanging a word, and the atmosphere seemed very serious.

Lin Yi felt a chill run down his spine, sensing that now was not a good time to go back. Just as he was about to run away, he suddenly heard Jiang Linglong say, "He's back."

Lin Yi: "..."

I forgot about Jiang Linglong's perception; it's not an easy thing to fool her.

If your tone gets caught, you might as well be straightforward.

Confession is lenient, resistance is strict.

Lin Yi strode confidently toward the lobby.

Having just heard Jiang Linglong's reminder, everyone was now prepared and eagerly looked at Lin Yi.

He Dong's eyes were filled with resentment, Qu Jing's eyes held a hint of concern, Xiao Se's gaze was curious, and Jiang Linglong's eyes were full of solemnity. Thousand Illusion Ghost Princess...

Lin Yi couldn't figure it out for a moment.

Lin Yi had already done his best to discern everyone's thoughts at a glance, but Qianhuan Guiji seemed to be hiding something, which was why Lin Yi couldn't figure it out.

That doesn't matter.

Seeing that everyone was there, Lin Yi took the initiative to say, "I'm back."

"Why didn't that snake demon come back with you?"

Jiang Linglong was somewhat confused. She could sense that Lin Yi was carrying Bai Lianxian's aura, but Lin Yi and Bai Lianxian had already had intimate contact yesterday.

This made it impossible for her to accurately determine whether something had happened.

If Bai Lianxian were here, she could make a more accurate judgment.

"I gave her a good beating and kicked her out."

Lin Yi spoke with conviction; he had indeed taught Bai Lianxian a severe lesson, and there was nothing wrong with that.

Seeing this, everyone believed Lin Yi's words, thinking that he might have fought with Bai Lianxian and Bai Lianxian was defeated and forced to retreat.

This inference is not wrong.

Taking advantage of the silence among the others, Lin Yi asked, "Why are you all here?"

He had specifically told these people not to come, but unexpectedly, they were all in place early this morning.

Qu Jing replied, "He Dong didn't return last night, so Xiao Cao came to find me. That's when I asked Young Master Xiao to come over. Miss Jiang said we didn't need to go any further and could just stay here."

If they hadn't come, Thousand Illusion Ghost Princess wouldn't have noticed them, but since they've already shown themselves near Thousand Illusion Ghost Princess, there's no point in pretending anymore.

Moreover, the Thousand Illusion Ghost Princess was unusually docile this time and had no intention of causing trouble.

Whether she wanted to cause trouble or not, Jiang Linglong had made up her mind to resolve this matter once and for all.

Only then did he gather everyone together and secretly instruct Yu Xue to lie low and wait for his orders.

If the Thousand Illusion Ghost Princess is obedient, does not harbor any evil intentions towards Lin Yi, and does not think of restricting Lin Yi's freedom or possessing him exclusively, then as the first wife, she will be tolerant and leave her a place to live in this courtyard.

If he doesn't give up his wicked intentions, then she has no choice but to die.

Jiang Linglong alone is enough to defeat Qianhuan Guiji, and with Yu Xue's surprise attack, Qianhuan Guiji has no choice but to die today.

However, in this round, there didn't seem to be much killing intent towards Qianhuan Guiji. Now, when Lin Yi asked, Jiang Linglong also said, "That's right, I'm the one who made everyone stay."

Previously, when everyone parted ways, their only concern was for this Miss Lin.

Jiang Linglong looked at Qianhuan Guiji, her eyes containing no murderous intent, but filled with the oppressive aura of a first wife.

Now, with her aura fully unleashed, she truly resembled the matriarch summoning her concubines for a meeting, leaving even her husband with little say in the inner quarters.

Jiang Linglong looked into Qianhuan Guiji's eyes and said, "Miss Lin has come back this time with a lot of remorse. She wants to get along well with all of us, not to hurt others indiscriminately, and she doesn't want to take Lin Yi away, right?"

Qianhuan Guiji looked at Jiang Linglong, then glanced around. Everyone was watching her; clearly, she was the most ostracized person in this small circle.

He Dong fears her and hates her, Qu Jing and Xiao Se are wary of her, and even Lin Yi is more cautious than affectionate towards her.

“I have never truly hurt him or anyone around him.”

The Thousand Illusion Ghost Princess spoke these words calmly, without a trace of grievance in her tone, yet it made people feel that she had suffered a great injustice.

Indeed, ever since the Thousand Illusion Demon Princess appeared, she has terrified everyone and brought a great sense of oppression to all.

But in reality, she never actually hurt Lin Yi, nor did she kill anyone he valued.

How could she not be sad that everyone was still so wary of her and ostracized her?

He Dong: "???"

Does the hurt I feel not count as hurt?

Obviously, no one noticed this at the time, since the Thousand Illusion Demon Princess hadn't killed anyone since her appearance, that was a fact.

Thinking about his previous attitude towards her, Lin Yi suddenly felt a little guilty.

Of course, this sense of guilt is limited.

The way they treated Qianhuan Guiji was her own doing.
