I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

Lin Yi removed his mask again. This repeated change of expression was a constant challenge to Qu Jing's sense of shame, essentially reminding her time and again that her apprentice was bullying her.

"You can leave if you want, what does it have to do with me!"

"You're going to hurt my feelings if you talk like that."

Lin Yi acted somewhat greasy in front of Qu Jing, but he whispered in her ear when he said this, and Qu Jing felt a tingling sensation all over her body. She no longer cared whether Lin Yi was greasy or not; he was definitely very greasy.

"I am going there to try to turn the tide and save the collapsing edifice. If I succeed, I will be of immeasurable merit; if I fail, I will be in great danger. Before I leave, I only want to spend some time with my master. Why is my master so indifferent?"

He knew that Qu Jing was on the verge of exploding, so he stopped teasing her.

No zuo no die, but there's a limit to how much you can mess with people. Qu Jing was already very angry, but when she heard that Lin Yi was going to do something instead of saying goodbye, she felt a little relieved, but then she started to worry about Lin Yi again.

"If you don't want to go, you don't have to go."

Although her tone was a bit cold, it also carried a hint of concern. In Lin Yi's arms, she became more subdued and stopped struggling.

Lin Yi smiled and said, "Some things just have to be done by someone. Don't worry, Master, I will make sure that the reputation of the Heavenly Heart Sword Sect spreads throughout the world. I won't let you down."

There's really no need for that.

When Qu Jing talked about the Heavenly Heart Sword Sect, she became serious and said, "The Heavenly Heart Sword Sect's reputation is not important. We only cultivate our own path. Fame and fortune are nothing but fleeting clouds to us."

I won't ask what you're going to do. Take care of yourself.

Qu Jing did care about Lin Yi after all. She didn't care much about the reputation of the Heavenly Heart Sword Sect. The Heavenly Heart Sword Sect had never been a particularly large sect in the past, but every disciple of the Heavenly Heart Sword Sect was someone she could respect.

She didn't seek the Sword Sect's great fame, she only wished for Lin Yi's safety.

“I will take good care of myself. You must be careful here. If Jingye Si encounters any difficult situations, don’t just think about solving them on your own. Linglong should be able to help you when necessary.”

Normally, she would have hummed a couple of times, but at this moment of parting, she didn't want to refuse Lin Yi's kindness, so she could only nod in agreement.

"Master, will you marry me after I return?"

Qu Jing: "..."

She always felt that Lin Yi was trying to trick her. He didn't say what he was going to do, but he just wanted to marry her.

Qu Jing shook her head decisively and snorted, "I'm your master, don't even think about it!"

Lin Yi then nibbled on her ear again, teasingly asking, "Can a master allow his disciple to bite his ear?"

"you!"

Qu Jing was angry, but Lin Yi picked her up and carried her into the room, placing her on the bed.

Qu Jing already knew what was going to happen next.

Unexpectedly, Lin Yi went even further this time, calling him "Master" while simultaneously betraying his master and ancestors—and this was in broad daylight...

Lin Yi originally planned to leave during the day, but after some procrastination, it ended up being midnight.

Traveling at midnight is perfect, as nighttime is when demons and monsters are most active, and you can even gain some experience points along the way.

There were no more monsters to fight in Star Sand City, so Lin Yi hurriedly left the city and headed northeast.

Before long, Bai Lianxian appeared.

Since their parting three days ago, Bai Lianxian had not shown her face for a long time. Lin Yi thought she had suffered internal injuries and needed to recuperate. But today, she was still as radiant as ever.

"You little brat, why didn't you take your sister with you when you went out?"

Seeing that she still dared to speak like that, Lin Yi felt that his education was not enough and that he would have to be more forceful next time so that the snake would know fear.

"The place I'm going to is a sacred site of Taoism. If you, a monster, go there, you'll probably be lucky to escape with your skin intact, if not dead."

"Hmph, if I'm ever discovered to be a demon, I'll tell them first that you framed Huijue, and maybe they'll spare my life!"

Lin Yi: "..."

This Bai Lianxian is truly amazing.

Lin Yi conceded and waved his hand, saying, "In that case, I'm even less likely to take you on the journey, lest you cause me trouble."

Why is your younger brother so easily teased?

Bai Lianxian, with a coquettish expression, still grabbed Lin Yi's hand and said, "Good brother, even if I die, I will never betray you. How about it, just let me come with you!"

One minute she's being silly, the next she's being coquettish. Lin Yi really couldn't do anything with Bai Lianxian, so he had no choice but to ask helplessly, "Why do you want to come along? Do you know what I'm going to do?"

"Of course, it's to stop the conflict between Buddhism and Taoism!"

Bai Lianxian gave me a look that seemed to say, "Are you questioning my intelligence?" Although she wasn't good at intellectual battles, she wasn't stupid either.

She was able to figure out some basic ideas.

The atmosphere between Buddhism and Taoism is tense, and that night, Lin Yi saw the perpetrator, and even the words he left behind were from Lin Yi.

Bai Lianxian didn't quite understand at first, but after thinking about it carefully, she realized the reason. However, the development of events was unexpected.

Lin Yi's hasty departure can only be for this reason. Based on her understanding of Lin Yi, he wouldn't be the one to start a conflict in the past, so the only possible solution is to resolve the conflict.

She could guess the answer, but Lin Yi was even more surprised: "The conflict between Buddhism and Taoism seems to be more beneficial to the demon race, right? Are you coming with me to cause trouble?"

If she really wanted to cause trouble, she wouldn't have appeared in front of him in the first place. That's what puzzled Lin Yi.

He was actually wondering to himself, could it be that Bai Lianxian wanted to be a mole?

Chapter 305 Accompanied by the White Snake

Lin Yi looked at Bai Lianxian with a strange gaze, but Bai Lianxian pretended not to notice and said frankly, "According to the decision of the meeting of the Seven Demon Kings, I am going to go and incite conflict between Buddhism and Taoism."

"With two of the nine demon kings gone, the others are uneasy. Only if your human race's strength is also weakened will they feel at ease."

"You just leaked this kind of secret like that?"

Lin Yi looked utterly incredulous, and Bai Lianxian's expression immediately became affected. She started whining, "You heartless bastard! What is there that I shouldn't reveal in front of you? Are you going to pretend nothing happened?"

She was crying as if Lin Yi had broken her heart, but then she suddenly drove off, clearly telling Lin Yi that she was fine.

"Alright, let's stop arguing and talk this out."

Lin Yi pulled Bai Lianxian into the grove, intending to have a proper discussion with her about the Seven Demon Kings meeting and the conflict between Buddhism and Taoism.

Now that we've already been honest with each other, let's continue to be honest with each other.

"Do you truly intend to betray the demon race, or do you have other motives?"

Lin Yi asked the question directly, hitting Bai Lianxian's sensitive spot.

Bai Lianxian didn't care much, and instead chuckled, "It seems that we, the great demon kings, have formed an unbreakable alliance to rival the human race, but in reality, all of us demons are still a disorganized mess."

Those that fly in the sky, swim in the water, walk in the mountains, and crawl on the ground can never be of one mind.

Therefore, after King Golden Scale and Lady Scorpion died, no demon king cared how they died or how their clans would develop after their deaths. Each demon king only cared about their own future situation.

Of course, it would be beneficial for all the demon races in the world to unite, but it is not necessary for a demon king like me.

I don't need the demon race to provide me with protection, so why should I charge into battle for them?

The demon kings want me to incite conflict between Buddhism and Taoism. If the two sects find out, won't I be in danger?

King Golden Scale and Lady Scorpion have been dead for so long, yet no one has thought of avenging them.

Bai Lianxian held nothing back in front of Lin Yi. This snake had no other hobbies or high aspirations; she simply liked things that looked good.

She doesn't mind being a figurehead or a mascot for the demon race, but offending both Buddhism and Taoism for the sake of the demon race is a suicidal act only a fool would do.

"Then you can simply refuse to do it. Why tell me such a secret? Aren't you afraid the demon kings will unite to eliminate you, the traitor, first?"

"Isn't it because I saw that you, my brat, are being irresponsible and want to risk your life? If you weren't so good-looking, I wouldn't have stopped you from going to your death."

"The conflict between Buddhism and Taoism is a major event that has nothing to do with you. Why do you insist on getting involved and causing trouble? Furthermore, many demon kings are secretly plotting against you. If you try to stop them, you'll be going against them all. With your current strength, it's tantamount to playing with fire."

Only then did Lin Yi understand Bai Lianxian's good intentions, and he couldn't help but feel a little warmer in his heart.

Although this snake spirit can be quite eccentric at times, it is generally quite normal.

At least she genuinely cares about herself.

"If you die, where can a woman as perfect as me find a man as perfect as you?"

Lin Yi: "..."

Although he felt a little smug, Bai Lianxian's self-absorbed demeanor still made him want to complain.

He held back the words, after all, they were on the same side.

“I understand your good intentions, but some things have to be done by someone. Besides, although I can’t fight against the six demon kings, they won’t join forces to attack me.”

As long as it's not like this, I can handle anything.

"What if there are spies among the human race?"

Bai Lianxian hadn't intended to say this, but seeing Lin Yi's determination to stop the conflict between Buddhism and Taoism, she had no choice but to abandon her frivolous attitude and say very seriously, "At that time, your opponents may not only be the demon kings, but also the experts among the human race."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yi's expression also turned serious, and he asked in a deep voice, "What is the basis for your statement?"

"There's no evidence, just intuition. It's up to you whether you believe it or not."

Bai Lianxian looked at Lin Yi, wanting to know his answer.

Lin Yi certainly wouldn't let her down. It's normal to have traitors. In such a large human race, it's impossible to expect everyone to be benevolent and moral. There will always be some who join the demon race for personal gain.

"Of course I trust you, so I will do this carefully."

Bai Lianxian: "..."

Alright, all that talk was for nothing. Lin Yi has probably just become more cautious, but it's unlikely he'll give up on going to Longhu Mountain.

Seeing his firm and resolute gaze, Bai Lianxian knew that she couldn't persuade him, so she could only sigh and say, "Then it's up to you, but I want to go with you."

"No need, it's more convenient for me to move around alone."

Lin Yi didn't even bring Jiang Linglong or Yu Xue, so there was naturally no need for him to bring Bai Lianxian, whose cultivation level was even lower.

"It won't make things more complicated if you bring me along. I can even help you when necessary. Two people are always better than one, right?"

My greatest skill is actually stealth. I can transform into a small snake and hide on your body. As long as I'm careful and stealthy, no one will be able to find me!

Lin Yi: "..."

Bai Lianxian's words made perfect sense, and Lin Yi couldn't find any other way to appease her, so he had no choice but to agree.

Actually, having a companion is a good thing; it provides an extra layer of protection.
