I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

He was also very frustrated. He had only recently separated into dragon and tiger forms, and his strength was only 60% of his peak. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been killed by Lin Yi.

His biggest mistake was underestimating Lin Yi. He thought he had all the advantages and couldn't possibly lose, but little did he know that Lin Yi was hiding his true strength. If he had known it would turn out this way, he wouldn't have bothered Lin Yi.

But it was too late for regrets now. In front of his master, he could only admit his mistake and beg for forgiveness.

He knew that in his current state, he was basically out of luck when it came to the Great Dao, but if his grandmaster or patriarch were willing to help, he could at least stay alive. If the grand plan for Longhu Mountain succeeded in the future, he might also be able to benefit from it.

Therefore, temporary humiliation is worthwhile.

“Grandmaster, I did underestimate my opponent, but that person’s background is definitely not simple. He possesses several immortal artifacts and has a secret technique that makes him unafraid of the pressure of the Dragon Tiger Mountain Formation. I was just careless and that’s why I was ambushed by him.”

I suspect he comes from another world.

Upon hearing the term "secluded place," Zhang Jingzong's expression changed slightly.

Why would this otherworldly place want to antagonize us? Could it be that our plans have been leaked?

Zhang Jingzong was completely baffled and was about to delve deeper into the matter when he suddenly sensed an exceptionally fierce aura descending upon Longhu Mountain.

Another formidable enemy is attacking.

Zhang Jingzong sighed inwardly at the trouble, but he was now the backbone of Longhu Mountain and had to face it.

"Stay here and don't move. Your tiger body is dead, and your dragon body is gone. You will perish completely."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Lingxiu was immediately thrilled.

This shows that his master was still willing to help, and he had a chance to survive.

As for the formidable enemy that has come to attack, Zhang Lingxiu is not certain that the other side can defeat Zhang Jingzong.

Although Zhang Jingzong has not yet become a semi-immortal, he has already achieved a balance of power and influence, and is only one step away from becoming a semi-immortal.

I sensed it, and instantly became a demigod.

But below the level of a half-immortal, Zhang Jingzong is definitely invincible.

Zhang Lingxiu didn't dare to go out and watch the battle, but he could see that the two women who came to cause trouble were the ones who had come.

He recognized one of them; she was the woman who was with Lin Yi.

"You choose the path to hell when there's a way to heaven, but you insist on coming here when there's no way to hell. After my master kills you all, I'll make that brat taste the pain too!"

In Zhang Lingxiu's opinion, Bai Lianxian had previously dared not participate in his battle, but now that she had returned, she must have found a powerful ally.

However, no matter how powerful he is, he can never be more powerful than his grandmaster.

You know nothing about true strength!

Zhang Jingzong leaped out, inexplicably feeling a heavy weight on his back.

The formidable enemy ahead is clearly hostile, but it may not necessarily be a bad thing.

Today's events at Longhu Mountain have caused Longhu Mountain to lose face. This matter cannot be kept secret any longer, and among so many disciples of Longhu Mountain, not all of them are innocent.

As one of the ancestral temples of Taoism and the leading Taoist sect in the south, Longhu Mountain is watched by countless forces. Even the slightest mistake is magnified tenfold, let alone the fact that it has suffered truly heavy losses this time.

If we fail to establish our authority in time, Longhu Mountain will surely be ridiculed.

These two women arrived just in time. He decided to kill them with lightning speed, so that those with ill intentions would see that Longhu Mountain was not to be trifled with!

But before taking action, Zhang Jingzong still tried to be courteous first, after all, they were a major sect and they had to show the demeanor of a major sect.

"Fellow Daoists, please wait. What brings you to my Longhu Mountain with such an aggressive demeanor?"

Zhang Jingzong, carrying a whisk, truly looked like a master. The younger disciples had never seen Zhang Jingzong before, but the older generation of elders were all excited by his appearance.

Jiang Linglong ignored him, her red eyes scanning the surroundings. Looking at the broken walls and ruins below, she knew that a great battle had taken place here.

But clearly, the battle is over.

Jiang Linglong did not smell Lin Yi's blood, which means that Lin Yi's defenses were not even breached during the battle.

In the aftermath of the battle, another powerful aura appeared—that of a corpse. Jiang Linglong sensed the scent of blood.

The aura of the Demon-Slaying Sword still lingers on it.

In just a short while, Jiang Linglong had roughly analyzed the outcome of the battle.

Lin Yi won a complete victory, and Longhushan was defeated.

Judging from the aura I sensed, Lin Yi must have killed someone and fled.

In that case, she doesn't need to worry too much.

Lin Yi's growth also requires experience, and Jiang Linglong knows that she can't protect him forever.

Therefore, she doesn't care about anything that doesn't threaten Lin Yi's life.

Now that we've confirmed Lin Yi's safety, there's no need to stay here any longer.

As for Zhang Jingzong of Longhu Mountain, Jiang Linglong naturally didn't bother to give him a friendly look. Since Longhu Mountain was willing to fight with Lin Yi, they were enemies. It was already merciful of her not to harm an enemy.

"Let's go."

Jiang Linglong said to Bai Lianxian, "It's just like a principal wife instructing her concubine."

Bai Lianxian had no objections; it felt really good to be out with a big shot like this, and it made her feel incredibly safe.

Although she was already a demon king, she still felt at ease only when she was with Jiang Linglong.

As they prepared to leave, Zhang Jingzong felt as if he had been slapped hard across the face.

These two women didn't give him any face at all!

Did I say you could leave?

Chapter 330 The Protectors Are All on the Way

The atmosphere on Longhu Mountain changed instantly when Zhang Jingzong uttered those words.

Jiang Linglong glanced coldly at Zhang Jingzong, her eyes surging with murderous intent.

She was already very restrained.

In her view, regardless of the reason for Lin Yi's battle with Longhu Mountain, it was all part of Lin Yi's experience. Perhaps there would be some friction later, or perhaps they would achieve peaceful coexistence.

In any case, this is Lin Yi's business. As a wife, she doesn't need to interfere when her husband is fighting outside unless absolutely necessary.

So even though she wanted to beat up the people from Longhu Mountain, she held back.

But if Longhu Mountain turns around and causes her trouble, then she's not going to tolerate it any longer.

"What do you mean?"

"Longhu Mountain is not a place where you can come and go as you please. Since you're here, why not sit down and have a cup of tea before you leave!"

Having said that, Zhang Jingzong waved his whisk and swept it toward Jiang Linglong and Bai Lianxian. The whisk grew longer in the wind, with one end still in Zhang Jingzong's hand, while the other end, like a white ribbon, wrapped around the two of them.

They said they were inviting people for tea, but it was really just a way of forcing the two of them to stay.

If the other party resists, it's like refusing a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit; there's even a reason to beat or kill them.

The world of cultivation is not only filled with fighting and killing, but also with human relationships and worldly wisdom.

Whatever you say or do, you must seize the moral high ground.

Even within the cultivation community, this is no exception.

But Jiang Linglong was not so easy to catch. She casually spat out a ball of fire, which ignited the whisk, and the crimson flames spread back along the whisk.

This fire was no ordinary fire, but the fire of the Corpse King, which ordinary spiritual treasures could not withstand. Zhang Jingzong had to use a golden talisman to extinguish the flames, and with a wave of his whisk, it returned to its original form.

It was this flame that made Zhang Jingzong sense a strange aura.

Jiang Linglong usually kept a low profile, but during battles, she inevitably revealed the aura of a Corpse King. Zhang Jingzong, having been mentored by a master, naturally recognized that she was not human.

"So you're not human. No wonder you're so rude. Since you dare to trespass on Longhu Mountain, then today I, this humble Taoist, will slay the demon here!"

Even a clay figure has a bit of fire in it, let alone Jiang Linglong, whose nature is inherently fiery.

She wasn't particularly short-tempered; she had cultivated her character over five thousand years. But she was a zombie, and a violent fire burned within her very being.

She can usually control herself, but when provoked, the fighting spirit within her ignites.

"Slay demons and monsters? I'd like to see what tricks you have up your sleeve!"

Jiang Linglong was truly enraged, and the Judgment appeared in her hand. Sensing its master's anger, the Judgment emitted a series of buzzing sounds.

This was the hum of the immortal sword. Upon hearing this clear and melodious sword sound, the disciples on Longhu Mountain clutched their heads, yet still writhed on the ground in pain.

Jiang Linglong was not targeting them; it was purely accidental.

Zhang Jingzong was surprised, but his face showed no reaction.

Longhu Mountain is really lively today. It's usually hard to see even one immortal artifact, but today there are one after another. When did immortal artifacts become worthless?

Zhang Jingzong also possessed a magical artifact; with a wave of his hand, a jade ruyi floated to his side.

This jade ruyi does not belong to any one person, but is a shared immortal artifact among the sect leaders.

He was once the leader of Longhu Mountain, so naturally he could also use this magical artifact to fight enemies.

It seemed to be an evenly matched battle. After a moment's thought, Bai Lianxian decided to retreat for the time being.

She didn't have any magical artifacts, nor did she want to join Jiang Linglong in attacking the old Taoist priest.

Firstly, Jiang Linglong might not need her help, and secondly, by not taking action herself, she could make the old Taoist priest more hesitant.

And so, the 1v1 battle began.

With swords flashing and whisks swirling, after several rounds of clanging and clattering, Zhang Jingzong's whisk was completely bald.

The Sword of Judgment can not only harm people, but also inflict extremely high damage on weapons and armor.

The whisk in Zhang Jingzong's hand was also a fine magical weapon, but it was easily cut down by the judge, leaving only the handle.

What a fierce woman!

Zhang Jingzong had also assessed the opponent's strength. Ha, he was nothing special!

Discarding the whisk in his hand, Zhang Jingzong manipulated the jade ruyi, which emitted a faint blue light. Centered on the jade ruyi, the light enveloped the entire Longhu Mountain.

"Dragon-Tiger Formation, activate!"

The Dragon-Tiger Formation that Zhang Jingzong launched this time was not assisted by the disciples of Longhu Mountain. The entire Longhu Mountain was already set up with a formation, which is the advantage of being on home ground.
