I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

Chapter 300 Seeking Reincarnation, Heading to the Island of Death

Lin Yi didn't have much reverence for gods. Whether they were gods or mortals, it didn't matter which side they were on.

So-called gods are nothing more than slightly more powerful beings.

That's how Lin Yi understood it, so all he needed to do was improve his skills a little more.

Three thousand years of cultivation is no match for the gods, so what about ten thousand years? Fifty thousand years? One hundred thousand years?

As long as you accumulate enough Taoist cultivation, even a monkey can alter the Book of Life and Death.

In any case, Lin Yi couldn't just sit and wait to die.

Xiao Se could only helplessly shrug.

The gods of the underworld are different from the gods of the human world.

There are many gods among humans. For example, Dongting Jun was also considered a god among humans. He set up altars in the Dongting Lake area so that people along the shore could worship him and kowtow to him, thereby gaining the power of faith.

This is a common type of earthly deity. There are also some who are highly respected elders who have passed away, and people spontaneously make offerings to them. If by chance, their souls are still in the world and gather the power of faith, they may also have the opportunity to become earthly deities.

With Lin Yi's current strength, he could easily wipe out a group of such deities.

But the gods of the underworld are righteous gods, truly transcendent beings.

Even though true gods exist only in legends and there has been no evidence of their existence since the beginning of recorded history, people have never doubted their existence.

Whether they were cultivators or mortals, they all believed that beyond the human world lay the dwelling place of the gods.

Those who attain enlightenment ascend to the heavens, the abode of gods, while the souls of the dead return to the underworld, both governed by the netherworld authorities.

"Brother, I understand your thoughts, but if you really do that, you might bring trouble upon yourself."

"Okay, I know, I'll do what I can."

Lin Yi patted Xiao Se on the shoulder, clearly not intending to listen to her.

Now he feels a sense of urgency; leveling up by defeating monsters is something that cannot be delayed.

He Dong was unaware that Lin Yi had begun to worry about her life and death. At this moment, she had no idea what she was about to face.

After all, she was already the most powerful among the ghosts, and she had no seniors to summarize their experiences. All she could do was improve her cultivation and solidify her Dao heart.

Now, her Dao heart is a little unstable.

The words of the Thousand Illusion Ghost Princess kept echoing in her heart.

She longed to be with Lin Yi forever, but all she had was a facade.

Her real body was formless and intangible, without any sense of touch, so she had no way of truly experiencing what it felt like to kiss Lin Yi.

Even though her heart fluttered every time Lin Yi kissed her, she knew that Lin Yi was only kissing her skin.

Even after they get married, the love between Lin Yi and her will only be a facade.

Strictly speaking, she could be considered to have been cheated on by her own clothes.

Therefore, she wanted to become human.

But He Dong has lived for so many years, how could he not understand that there are no free lunches in life, and all opportunities may be traps.

She couldn't believe Qianhuan Guiji, yet she actually started needing her help.

After thinking for a long time, she still didn't know what to choose.

I want to take a gamble, but I'm afraid of losing.

After much deliberation, He Dong decided to go see Qianhuan Guiji again.

Fortune favors the bold; if there is any way in the world to transform from a ghost into a human, it must be through the Hundred Ghosts Gate.

Having cultivated the art of ghosts for many years, the Hundred Ghosts Sect undoubtedly possesses the most authoritative understanding of ghosts.

In order to truly be with Lin Yi, He Dong decided to take a gamble.

Previously, the Thousand Illusion Ghost Princess had left from an unknown place, and no one had been able to find her.

However, He Dong knew that Qianhuan Guiji used to live in the central courtyard.

She arrived alone at the residence of the Thousand Illusion Ghost Princess, but the Thousand Illusion Ghost Princess was still nowhere to be found. However, there was a note left on the table in her room.

"If you wish to be reborn, come to the Gate of a Hundred Ghosts and go to the Island of Death."

After He Dong read the note, it spontaneously combusted without fire and soon turned to ashes, which were scattered by the wind.

"Death Island? I've never heard of it before."

He Dong was bewildered. She had been in the Hundred Ghosts Sect for so many years and had never heard of such an island.

It seems that I hadn't yet come into contact with the core of the Hundred Ghosts Sect. What Qianhuan Ghost Princess was talking about must have been something very secretive about the Hundred Ghosts Sect.

The Thousand Illusion Ghost Princess left a note, but then disappeared. It was obviously impossible to communicate with her again. Now, He Dong's choice became whether to go or not.

Actually, when she came here, she already had a preference in mind, but she just couldn't make up her mind for the time being.

What are you doing here?

Just as He Dong was about to leave, he bumped into Lin Yi.

Lin Yi was also looking for Qianhuan Guiji. Although the Hundred Ghosts Sect was a demonic sect, they dealt with ghosts all year round and probably had a deep understanding of the underworld.

Unexpectedly, instead of seeing the Thousand Illusion Ghost Princess, I saw He Dong.

He Dong panicked, worried that Lin Yi would notice something, and quickly explained, "It's nothing, I'm just browsing around."

Lin Yi: "..."

Something's not right, this little ghost girl is acting strangely!

Lin Yi knew how terrified He Dong was of the Thousand Illusion Ghost Princess. Could she possibly find the Thousand Illusion Ghost Princess's residence by just wandering around?

This is clearly a big problem.

However, after Lin Yi activated his Heavenly Eye and verified the Demon-Slaying Manual, he discovered that the He Dong in front of him was indeed the real He Dong, not the Thousand Illusion Ghost Princess in disguise.

"Okay, feel free to wander around. By the way, have you seen Thousand Illusion Ghost Princess?"

"No."

He Dong gave a compliant reply, and Lin Yi nodded without asking any further questions.

The Demon-Slaying Manual shows that she was confused and anxious, wandering around. It is unknown why she was confused and anxious, but He Dong did not say, and Lin Yi did not ask.

He certainly wouldn't leave it unattended; he simply chose to observe from the shadows.

With his Heavenly Eye activated, Lin Yi unleashed its full power, searching for the unknown within the Thousand Illusion Ghost Princess.

However, there was no trace of the Thousand Illusion Demon Princess in the huge mansion, and even the little demons that were usually used to guard the area were nowhere to be seen.

There was not a trace of Qianhuan Guiji living in the entire house.

Perhaps, she has already left.

Before Jiang Linglong made her move, she had mentioned that she was leaving. Unexpectedly, she left so quickly that Lin Yi didn't even have time to try to stop her or say goodbye properly.

When Qianhuan Guiji was here before, Lin Yi was always on edge, but today, her departure was so decisive that he felt a sense of loss.

However, it's actually good for everyone that Qianhuan Guiji is gone. If she stops causing trouble, it's a good thing.

They will inevitably have to interact someday, and hopefully at that time, he can heal Qianhuan Guiji's emotional knot.

The urgent issues now are how to coax Qu Jing back and how to take care of He Dong's mindset.

……

The river island in the middle of the river, which is usually deserted, was unusually lively today.

First, early in the morning, fish and shrimp began to dart about for no apparent reason, frightening the fishermen along the Xiangjiang River into thinking that something bad was about to happen, and they were all filled with anxiety.

The residents near Xingsha City were under some psychological tension due to the recent series of events. Seeing that something was wrong, they quickly went to the Jingye Division to report the case.

In the past, the Jingye Division didn't have time to deal with such matters, but recently, the division has been plagued by major incidents while minor ones have been scarce, leaving its personnel with less free time. Chen Huaiyuan then sent someone to investigate, and what they found was astounding...

Chapter 301 I really didn't mean to frame someone

According to Lao Li, the first eyewitness to a night fishing trip, the fish and shrimp first started to move unusually in the early morning. At the time, he thought it was an earthquake. Later, he saw clouds and mist rising from the small island in the middle of the river.

In the mist, it seemed as if a man and a woman were riding away on the clouds.

After the two men left, the waves subsided.

Old Li deduced that the earthquake might have been caused by immortals performing human rituals on the island, which led to the shaking of the earth.

The constables from the Jingye Division were speechless at Old Li's statement and advised him to fish less, stay up less late, and watch less inappropriate content to avoid being surrounded by pornography.

Although they did not heed Lao Li's suggestion, they still went to investigate the island in the middle of the river, and there they found the bodies of two Taoist priests.

Moreover, these two Taoist priests were wearing Taoist robes from Longhu Mountain, which is a big deal.

Longhu Mountain is the leading Taoist mountain in the south, and the status of its disciples naturally rises accordingly. It is no small matter for them to die mysteriously in this place.

Not long after, Chen Huaiyuan received the news. He was lucky that Qu Jing had also come to Jingye Division. She wanted to relax and kill some demons. When she encountered this incident, she came along.

Although she was the highest-ranking official present, Qu Jing had little experience with this kind of thing and could only stand there and watch.

Chen Huaiyuan was waiting for her to give orders, but seeing that she remained silent throughout, he knew that she was a true hands-off manager.

He couldn't help but sigh inwardly. The leaders of the Jingye Division in Xingsha City were indeed all laid-back, but the problems Xingsha City was getting into were getting bigger and bigger.

Otherwise, with such a laid-back leader, his life would be much more comfortable than it is now.

Chen Huaiyuan looked at the Buddhist seal on the palm of one of the deceased, and then at the small characters under the body of another person, and felt a chill run down his spine.

This means that Taoism and Buddhism are about to clash.

Chen Huaiyuan didn't dare move the two corpses, so he turned to Qu Jing and said, "Chief Constable, this matter is too complicated and is no longer something that our Jingye Division can handle. I suggest that we inform Longhu Mountain about what happened here and let them deal with it."

This is the safest method; at least the Jingye Division won't be held responsible.

Qu Jing had no objection to this, and Chen Huaiyuan added, "We don't know if the culprit is still around, so we would appreciate it if the chief constable could remain here."

"Row."

Qu Jing didn't want to go home. She didn't know how to face Lin Yi, so she took the opportunity of official business to come out and stay on Jiangxin Island for a while.
