I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

As her mother had said, Xiao Zhao only had eight years to live as emperor, which meant she had eight years to become powerful and secretly accumulate strength.

They were just waiting for the right moment to rise up in rebellion.

Eight years may be a long time, but Xiao Se is willing to wait to ensure that the final goal can be achieved.

She gained immense power at such a young age; if those old monsters knew about her thoughts, they would probably be moved to tears.

Eight years?

It would take at least eighty years to develop a grand plan!

It's not impossible that it could even last eight hundred years.

You're not willing to wait eight years?

The difference between humans and demons is just that huge.

Xiao Se stayed on the mountaintop for a while, thinking about her future path, before descending the mountain.

She assumed that Lin Yi would be waiting for her on the way.

As a result, they didn't see Lin Yi even after descending the mountain.

Goodness, my brother is really steady.

Sensing no danger in the surroundings, Xiao Se took out the conjoined branches and carved the words "Big brother, I've come to find you" on them.

At this moment, Lin Yi and Bai Lianxian were squatting close together when Bai Lianxian suddenly glared at Lin Yi shyly and said reproachfully, "You always cause trouble when we're in the middle of nowhere!"

Lin Yi: "???"

He silently pulled out the burning conjoined branches from his bosom, somewhat at a loss.

Bai Lianxian is clearly more excited than him, isn't she?

However, they are currently staking out the location and it's not a good time for them to cause trouble.

Lin Yi replied with "See you at the inn" by carving the words "See you at the inn" on the conjoined branches, then put the branches away and continued to stake out the spot.

After descending from the green mountain, Lin Yi originally planned to return to the inn to wait for Xiao Se, but unexpectedly, he bumped into Zhang Lan on the way.

Lin Yi's occupational habit kicked in at that moment.

It's so late at night, in the middle of nowhere. Why is Zhang Lan not at home taking care of his father, nor guarding the gate of the Jingye Division? What is he doing here?

Immediately, Lin Yi decided to crouch in the bushes to see what Zhang Lan was up to.

Bai Lianxian was speechless. With Lin Yi's strength, there was absolutely no need for him to pay so much attention to a mortal. If he really suspected that the other party had any problems, wouldn't it be enough to just grab him and beat him up?

It's such a waste of precious time to insist on staking out this spot.

A quarter of an hour passed, and Zhang Lan remained seated in the same spot, as if he had truly only come here to cultivate.

Just as Bai Lianxian was about to leave again, Lin Yi quickly stopped her.

"coming."

"?"

Bai Lianxian obediently remained hidden. Before long, a person flew down in front of Zhang Lan. The person was wearing a mask and surrounded by black mist, making it impossible to see his true face.

Lin Yi actually managed to catch the person, and Bai Lianxian was truly impressed.

Lin Yi smiled smugly, his eyes conveying his pride.

See that? That's what you call professional!

I could tell at a glance that this kid wasn't a good person!

"Some changes seem to have occurred in Yuzhang City. How much do you know about the fire at Hongcui Tower?"

In front of this mysterious man, Zhang Lan showed none of the nonchalant attitude he had shown in front of Lin Yi. His entire demeanor was completely different, and he said with a serious expression, "Reporting to the King of the Underworld, I was there that day."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yi, who was hiding in the shadows, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

When he first heard the title "Pluto," he thought it must be a big shot, and he even thought he would encounter a Pluto in Star Sand City.

After all, given the situation at the time, Lin Yi felt that there should be a Hades hiding in the shadows. He had been on guard all along, but after killing all four Netherworld Demons, the Hades he had been wary of never appeared.

So, out of the five players in the queue, one of them was actually AFK!

Of course, the person in front of me may not be the King of the Underworld of the Pure Heaven Sect; he may be the King of the Underworld from somewhere else!

"Tell me about your findings."

The mysterious man spoke in a voice that was neither male nor female, and Zhang Lan immediately and respectfully recounted his experience.

Zhang Lan explained everything very clearly, from how she was coerced by Lin Yi to the Red Jade Pavilion, to Lin Yi injuring Zhang Dawei and leaving, and the final fire at the Red Jade Pavilion.

After finishing his explanation, Zhang Lan added, "After the fire was extinguished, the Jingye Division inspected the scene and found only three bodies, each of which was a fox demon. However, based on the situation at the scene, there should have been more than twenty dead."

In addition, I questioned many people who escaped from the Red Jade Pavilion, and there were only three injured people.

Therefore, I deduce that there were actually two people who did it. One was stronger and had more precise control over the magic, so he neither hurt anyone nor failed to burn the corpse to ashes.

The other person was slightly weaker and accidentally injured someone else while fighting the demon.

After hearing Zhang Lan's description, Lin Yi thought he was quite talented. Regardless of how he knew the answer, it was already very good that he could guess that there were two murderers.

Su Xian'er, for example, didn't think of this.

The mysterious man was also very satisfied with Zhang Lan, nodding approvingly and saying, "You're very good."

"Thank you, Lord Hades."

Are you ready to take a step further and listen to the guidance of the divine?

Upon hearing this, Zhang Lan's face lit up with joy and fervor. He exclaimed, "I'm always ready!"

"Very good, from today onwards, you are a Phantom."

Lin Yi: "..."

I object!

Please let a pretty young lady be the Ghost!

Is it because the Pure Heaven Sect has run out of pretty girls that even the Demonesses are now seeking male companions?

Lin Yi mentally scoffed as the mysterious man pulled out a black pebble the size of a snake egg from somewhere. It probably wasn't a pebble, as Lin Yi couldn't see it clearly, but he sensed a special power within it.

"This demonic seed is now yours. Use your mortal heart to nurture it, and soon it will break free and become your power."

"Thank you, King of the Underworld."

Zhang Lan quickly knelt on the ground, raising her hands above her head with palms facing upwards, like an extremely devout believer.

Lin Yi couldn't help but sigh.

If he had simply worked diligently as a gatekeeper for the Jingye Division, although he was somewhat annoying, he wouldn't have deserved to die.

Now it seems that this person has long been a member of the Pure Heaven Sect. The best way to stop him from causing trouble is to kill him as soon as possible to prevent future problems.

The mysterious man placed the demon seed in Zhang Lan's palm. The demon seed can sense a person's inner desires. A person with weak desires cannot become the host of the demon seed, because it means that the host cannot provide the demon seed with enough power.

"You were able to become a Wraith this time because the original four Wraiths are all dead."

While Zhang Lan was still absorbing the demonic seed, the mysterious man continued, "They all died in Star Sand City to complete their priesthood to the gods."

It will be much easier for you to do things in Yuzhang than in Xingsha. The chief constable of Jingye Division here is useless, unlike Xingsha City which is full of hidden talents.

This time we must succeed, otherwise, without offerings, the gods will surely punish us.

Hearing their loud, secret plot, Lin Yi could only manage a smile.

The Pure Heaven Sect is truly persistent and determined. Since they couldn't carry out the blood sacrifice in Xingsha City, they've come to challenge Yuzhang City, determined to secure a sacrifice for their god.

As luck would have it, Lin Yi happened to be passing by!

After learning about the origins of the Pure Heaven Sect from He Dong, Lin Yi became very resolute in his attitude towards the sect.

That means they kill anyone they catch. This sect is rotten inside and out; it has completely changed the doctrines of its predecessor.

Although the turmoil brought about by the Yellow Heaven Sect caused widespread chaos, their original intentions were good.

Peasant uprisings left the country riddled with holes; can we blame the peasants for that?

If people could survive, they wouldn't rebel. The Yellow Heaven Sect led the people in a frenzy, and although they lost, they were still honorable.

Today, the lives of ordinary people are not exactly happy, but they are not so bad that they can't make ends meet either.

At this time, the Jingtian Sect still caused trouble, with the ridiculous aim of purification.

Lin Yi felt that what needed the most purification was themselves.

Now that he'd run into a Hades here, Lin Yi naturally wasn't going to let him leave.

To guard against any possible escape methods he might have, Lin Yi decided to take matters into his own hands and have Bai Lianxian lie in ambush.

Today, Pluto has no way to escape!

After arranging the ambush, Lin Yi, as usual, first scattered a handful of talismans to seal off the surrounding area.

"Zhang Lan, we meet again."

Lin Yi stopped concealing his presence and emerged from the darkness.

Zhang Lan's expression changed immediately; he had just swallowed the demon seed, which had not yet hatched.

Even if it hatches, a newly hatched demon is no match for a second-grade cultivator.

"Do you think you'll survive this time?"

Chapter 318 Divine Descent

Lin Yi's words plunged Zhang Lan into despair.

This is a second-grade expert, which is within the second rank, while the Underworld King, although powerful, is only within the third rank.

Tonight looks like it's going to be a bad night.

Last time he provoked Lin Yi so much, Lin Yi only taught him a lesson, which shows that Lin Yi must be an upright person.

Upright people generally don't harm ordinary people, but they show no mercy to evil people.

Hades, standing to the side, looked at Lin Yi and also felt a great deal of pressure.
