I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

As a guardian of the desolate path, it is prepared to sacrifice itself.

Even if her cultivation is only four hundred years and seems useless, if she sacrifices her own life, she can buy Xiao Se some time.

Of course, even Wu Yun couldn't guarantee Xiao Se's safe escape in front of this woman.

In short, do your best!

However, when Xiao Se turned around, the murderous intent in the woman's eyes immediately subsided.

"So you're a descendant of an old friend. I'll spare your life for your mother's sake."

Xiao Se never expected that he could overcome the crisis by using his face at this time.

If a fight broke out, she would definitely be no match for this woman, and she didn't even know if she could escape.

But at this point, she no longer cared about her own safety.

She knew very little about her mother, yet she longed to know more.

Now that she's met someone her mother knew, even if it's an evil force, she wants to make contact with them temporarily and learn about her mother from them.

"You know my mother?"

"Which demon king in the world doesn't know your mother?"

Sure enough, this woman was a demon king.

From the moment she appeared, Xiao Se guessed her identity from her aura, and now that it has been confirmed, she feels even more pressure.

The Demon King may not always be friendly to the offspring of the Demon Emperor. Back then, didn't Wang Jinxuan find himself in the eye of the storm because of his title as the daughter of the Demon Emperor?

Fortunately, the matter of the Demon Emperor's Secret Realm has now been settled, so she doesn't need to be so vigilant.

"Could you tell me about my mother, senior?"

"Since you are her child, she will tell you what you need to know. What she doesn't want to tell you is either unimportant or something she doesn't want you to know, so why ask again?"

That makes sense, but Xiao Se's desire to understand her mother wasn't solely for personal gain; it stemmed more from the innate affection a child has for their mother.

"This is not the place to talk. If you have the guts, I'll be waiting for you atop Green Mountain tomorrow night!"

Having said that, the woman vanished without a trace, like smoke and dust.

Xiao Se sensed his surroundings and confirmed that she had left.

It was only at this moment that Wu Yun jumped out and said, "Are you really going? It's very dangerous."

If the other party is hostile to Xiao Se, going up the mountain is perfect; he can dispose of the body and cover his tracks in one go.

Xiao Se remained calm and said, "She has already appeared, so I have fallen into her sight. In that case, it makes no difference whether I go or not."

If the other party comes with good intentions, she can naturally learn some information by going there. If the other party comes with malice, and she runs away instead of going to Qingshan to keep the appointment, the other party may directly break off relations.

Since the other party is stronger than her anyway, and he was able to kill her earlier but didn't, she might as well take a gamble.

"Your Highness, you've really grown up."

Wuyun looked pleased; it was impressive that a cat could make such a vivid expression. But Xiaose found the expression extremely annoying and picked up Wuyun to give it a good pat.

"I'm a bit tired after a long day. Let's rest for the night and head up the mountain tomorrow!"

Xiao Se found a restaurant called Yuzhang Inn and checked in.

As luck would have it, Lin Yi also happened to be at this inn.

He plans to go to Longhu Mountain again tomorrow to meet Master Zhang.

The situation between Buddhism and Taoism is tense, but it hasn't reached the point of direct confrontation. Even if there are conflicts, they are small-scale. The two major forces are still choosing to engage in dialogue.

Since it's a dialogue, it naturally requires a process.

Zhang Lingxiu called out to Huijue, saying that it would probably take some time for the two to reach a conclusion.

Master Zhang is most likely still at Longhu Mountain.

However, after seeing so many new monks here today, Lin Yi no longer held much hope of completely stopping the conflict between Buddhism and Taoism. Nevertheless, he still wanted to do his best.

Bai Lianxian didn't care about any of this. She and Lin Yi checked into the inn together and only booked one room. How could she not take the opportunity to do something naughty!

"Little brat, it's getting late, shouldn't you get some rest?"

"Are you trying to make me rest?"

Lin Yi glanced at Bai Lianxian and mercilessly exposed her thoughts.

"You can rest too. I'll take care of everything else."

Bai Lianxian twisted her waist and slowly crawled towards Lin Yi.

Lin Yi couldn't help but reveal an expression similar to that of Hong Shixian.

That snake demon is really something!

Lin Yi pinched her cheek and said, "I still have some things to do tonight. I'll deal with you after I've taken care of them."

Bai Lianxian's chin was pinched, and her eyes became alluring as if they were about to overflow with tears. Her small mouth was slightly open, seemingly begging for mercy, yet also appearing to be provoking.

"You're always so busy, what makes you so busy? Are you still recovering from that battle?"

Lin Yi: "..."

Although the tactic of provocation is simple, it is indeed quite effective.

Lin Yi scooped up Bai Lianxian and said fiercely, "You're arrogant now, but you'll be begging for mercy later. I'll go clean up the demons and monsters around here first, and then I'll show you what's what."

"At a time like this, why do you still want to sweep away those demons and monsters?"

Bai Lianxian hooked her arm around Lin Yi's neck, not wanting him to leave.

Lin Yi could only reassure him, "I injured the chief constable of the Jingye Division here. Although he was not very useful to begin with, after I injured him, he was powerless to protect the peace of this place."

"Since I've struck him, it's my duty to clean up the mess and eliminate the demons and monsters causing chaos in Yuzhang County."

Bai Lianxian: "..."

With a beautiful woman in his arms, this man is only thinking about slaying demons and monsters. How infuriating!

But since Lin Yi had already said so much, Bai Lianxian didn't stop him anymore. She just awkwardly turned away, indicating that she was ignoring him.

Lin Yi smiled and was about to go out when he opened the door a crack and saw Xiao Se walk into the room across the hall.

Even from just a side profile, Lin Yi wouldn't mistake it.

"You actually run into this?"

Lin Yi also saw the dark clouds, which confirmed Xiao Se's identity.

However, after thinking about it, he did not go to meet Xiao Se immediately.

Let's deal with the demons here first, then we can catch up when we get back.

Lin Yi left the inn, flew to the rooftop, and activated his Heavenly Eye.

Although Tianmu has little use in combat, it is the skill that best fits the Demon-Slaying Manual.

Lin Yi had been wanting to hunt monsters but had nowhere to go, while Tianmu could explore a wide area and accurately locate the positions of demons and monsters. This was simply a divine skill!

"Come, let me see how many monsters are in the city..."

Lin Yi shifted his attention to the third-person perspective and looked into the city, immediately feeling somewhat puzzled.

There isn't even a single outcast in this city...

Chapter 313 My Ears Are Committing a Crime

Lin Yi had assumed that since the Jingye Division was so inactive, there must be many demons and monsters in the city, and that the so-called peace was just a facade.

Surprisingly, there were no strange creatures causing trouble in the city; it was as if all the demons and monsters in the city had gathered at the Red Jade Pavilion.

Even Star Sand City isn't this clean. You know, Lin Yi was searching everywhere in Star Sand City for monsters to spawn, and every now and then a few wandering ghosts would appear.

The fact that Yuzhang County is so clean makes it even more eerie.

Is it normal for such a large city to be completely deserted?

This is not normal.

There must be a reason why an abnormal event occurs.

With a few flashes, Lin Yi jumped to the very center of the city and pushed his Heavenly Eye to its limit. This time, he expanded the search area to thirty miles outside Yuzhang City.

Once outside the city, the number of demons and monsters increased significantly, with fluctuations of demonic energy in all four directions: east, west, south, and north.

Lin Yi randomly chose a direction and planned to interview the monsters there.

There were few people on the road out of the city at this time; it was dark and windy, and few people were walking at night.

People are afraid of bad people, wild animals, and demons when they walk at night. They can't even see the road clearly. Unless there is no other choice, no one would choose to travel at night.

But Zhang Sheng had no choice today.

He was having a great time at the Red Jade Pavilion, and just as he finished enjoying himself, the girl in his arms suddenly caught fire. Startled, he quickly pulled away, burning several of her feathers in the process.

He thought he had some special talent and had set the girl on fire, only to find that the entire Red Jade Pavilion was in turmoil.

He quickly grabbed his clothes and ran, not even bothering to put them on. When he got outside the Red Jade Pavilion, he saw a group of fellow sufferers.

With the fire at Hongcui Tower, there was no way he could stay overnight anymore. Coincidentally, he had already enjoyed himself but hadn't had time to pay yet.

Isn't this just like getting something for free?

Fearing that the government's subsequent investigation would cause him trouble, Zhang Sheng returned to the village overnight before curfew.

Although I was frightened tonight, I still made a profit overall.

Opportunities to get something for free are rare!

Thinking of this, Zhang Sheng began to feel sorry for the girl who was burned to death. He wondered where such a ruthless person came from and how could they do such a thing to such a beauty.

It will probably be difficult to taste that flavor again in the future!

Zhang Sheng was filled with wicked thoughts when he suddenly heard a sobbing sound.

Zhang Sheng was also startled. It was the middle of the night, and it was pitch black. Suddenly hearing a woman crying was quite unsettling.

Looking closely in the direction of the sound, I saw a frail woman squatting on the ground.
