I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

"Look closely at this person, his name is Lin Yi."

Xiao Zhao took out a portrait and handed it to Xiao Jin. Upon seeing it, Xiao Jin couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "What a fine young man! He is handsome yet not effeminate, kind yet heroic."

If it's this man, then it's not too humiliating.

"Father means..."

"I want you to befriend him, to win him over at all costs, understand?"

Xiao Zhao stared at Xiao Jin with a sinister look, which terrified him. He didn't know why his father valued this man so much, but he knew that if he didn't do well, he would die a terrible death.

Judging from Xiao Zhao's behavior, could this Lin Yi also be...?

Xiao Zhao gave a cold laugh.

He had long felt that Lin Yi and Xiao Se's relationship was unusually close, and that Xiao Se clearly had feelings for Lin Yi.

Xiao Zhao knows Xiao Se very well. She would definitely not reveal her true identity before she truly falls out with him. So, what does it mean that Lin Yi still treats Xiao Se so intimately even though he thinks he is a man?

Coincidentally, he also had a useless son who had no other advantages; his good looks were enough.

This was a scheme devised by Xiao Zhao. Xiao Zhao admired Lin Yi's demeanor and strength. He believed that this young man would have a bright future. Since he couldn't be eliminated, he might as well find a way to make use of him.

Since he didn't have enough power, he could only try to find ways to counterbalance it.

If Lin Yi knew that Xiao Zhao viewed him this way, he would probably be so angry that he would storm into the palace, and even the imperial palace wouldn't be able to stop him.

This is slander!

Of course, Lin Yi, who was on Death Island, had no way of knowing any of this; he was focused on chanting scriptures!

The scriptures were recited again and again, and golden light gradually covered the entire island from half the sky.

Later on, the sky was filled not only with Lin Yi's chanting, but also with the echoes of many spirits who had regained their rationality after Lin Yi had cleansed their resentment.

The multitude of voices merged into one, making the Buddha's light even more dazzling.

Gradually, the Buddha's light expanded outwards from the Abyss of Exile, but when it reached a distance of about ten feet from the shore, it was blocked by an inexplicable force and could no longer advance an inch.

At this time, the golden figure behind Lin Yi had also taken full shape.

The dark cloud watched the little golden man grow up little by little. At first, it was about the same height as the little golden man, but now it is eight zhang tall. It looks like it is real. If you get close, you can smell its fragrance and hear its calming sound.

Lin Yi's energy was almost completely depleted at this point.

He also decided to take a break, and if the ritual wasn't finished, he would try again later.

When he opened his eyes, the golden figure behind him also closed its eyes and quickly merged into Lin Yi's body. Everything happened silently, and even Lin Yi did not notice it at all.

He only saw that Wu Yun's eyes widened, as if he was shocked. Lin Yi also noticed something was wrong and looked around. He was also stunned.

The island of death, shrouded in dark clouds, was now filled with light, as if it had returned to the human world. The withered trees sprouted new leaves, and the distant grasslands were covered with flowers and grass.

This?

Before I closed my eyes, this place was desolate, with nothing there.

The only thing that remained the same was the moon above the dome; it was still red.

The ghosts all bowed to Lin Yi, and Lin Yi vaguely felt something fly out of their bodies and gather on his body.

"Were they all converted by me?"

Lin Yi pinched the cat's head, feeling a little dazed.

Wu Yun, barely recovering from his shock, said, "To be precise, you first converted a group of people, then led this group to chant scriptures with you, and then there were no more vengeful ghosts on the entire island..."

Lin Yi: "..."

So, is this wave of crossing first and then following?

What a pleasant surprise!

It's a bit of a shame that so many experience packs are gone.

Lin Yi felt a little regretful, but looking at the densely packed ghosts kneeling on the ground and devoutly bowing to him, he also showed a gratified smile.

You can improve your cultivation level anytime, but opportunities to save lives are not always available.

"Everyone, there's no need to kneel before me. Please rise. I hope you can return to the Netherworld and be reincarnated smoothly."

Lin Yi offered them his best wishes, but Wu Yun, upon hearing Lin Yi's words, secretly felt uneasy.

She leaned close to Lin Yi's ear and whispered, "They... couldn't get back."

Lin Yi, who was in a great mood, froze upon hearing this.

"why?"

"Once you enter the Abyss of Exile, there is no turning back. They were all swept to the Abyss of Exile by the Yellow Springs. The Abyss of Exile is vast, and no one knows where its boundaries are, let alone the possibility of going back against the current."

Even if they wanted to go against the current, they would be tainted by the Yin energy of the Abyss of Exile along the way, and would turn into evil spirits again. So... you shouldn't give them too much hope for the future.

Wu Yun spoke in a low voice, so the ghosts couldn't hear him; they were still busy thanking Lin Yi.

Lin Yi's mood immediately soured. He had thought these people were beyond saving and was just trying to help them. Unexpectedly, he was lucky and actually managed to help them pass on to the afterlife.

But after the ritual was performed, he realized that these ghosts had no other way but to become evil spirits again, which he found absurd.

Wouldn't he have saved her for nothing?

Moreover, what kind of logic is that? They didn't do anything wrong, so why should they be condemned to eternal damnation?

"Are the rules of the underworld really this unreasonable?"

The Buddhists also say that if you lay down your butcher's knife, you can become a Buddha on the spot. The resentment on these ghosts has already been washed away, so why shouldn't they be allowed to enter the cycle of reincarnation?

Upon hearing Lin Yi's question, Wu Yun was taken aback, and the inherited memories in his mind were suddenly triggered.

"Back then, Xiao Se's ancestors probably said the same thing. Perhaps that's why their clan rebelled! Lin Yi, the rules of the underworld aren't as wonderful as the legends of the mortal world make them out to be..."

Chapter 339 Grand Ambition

In human legends, the underworld is a fair and just place.

Here, one's merits and demerits in life will be settled, and those who do evil will be severely punished accordingly. The eighteen levels of hell are specially prepared for these people.

Kind people will receive their due rewards, such as becoming immortals or being reborn into a good family in the next life, and having a smooth and successful life.

These legends are widely circulated among people, but they merely represent people's beautiful hopes, because in this world, no one can punish the bad people, and no one can give the good people justice.

Good people don't live long, but evil people live for a thousand years. Murderers and arsonists wear golden belts, while those who repair bridges and roads have no remains.

Because the human world is so hopeless, they can only place their hopes in the underworld.

Besides that, they had no other choice.

Just like when ordinary people are bullied by high-ranking officials, what can they do?

We can only hope that those who do evil will be punished.

However, all expectations are merely those of mortals. The underworld is not a fair and just place, nor will it uphold justice for mortals.

Even with dark clouds, we know very little about what they actually look like.

In the transmission of memories, the part about the underworld is rarely mentioned, only some insignificant scraps.

Xiao Se inherited even less information; there was nothing about the underworld, only that he knew he came from the underworld.

Nevertheless, Xiao Se and Wu Yun both knew that the underworld was by no means a benevolent place, much less the beautiful place people imagined.

Just like this Abyss of Exile, those who come here are not necessarily evil people in life. Perhaps they are just wronged souls who did not die a good death. No one will seek justice for them, but the Yellow Springs will banish them, so that they will never be reincarnated.

"I know the underworld may not be a good place, but these rules are just too inhumane."

Having already met Judge Cui, Lin Yi had developed a negative impression of the gods of the underworld. Today, after seeing the Abyss of Exile, that negative impression was further reinforced.

Looking at the group of ghosts who were still somewhat dazed after receiving the Buddha's light, Lin Yi always wanted to do something to help them.

At least, I pulled them out of the darkness and gave them hope, not let them fall back into the abyss.

Seeing that Lin Yi had gotten himself into a dead end, Wu Yun couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.

It could only console them by saying, "The exile has always been like this, and it has continued for who knows how many years."

"That's always been the way it's been, is that right?"

Lin Yi quoted a saying from his predecessor, which immediately silenced the dark clouds. Looking at the Buddha's light that had not yet dissipated, Lin Yi's eyes became much more determined.

He used to wonder, with so many people in the world, why was it he who came into this world and obtained the Demon-Slaying Manual?

Perhaps, he came into this world with his own mission.

Since he can gain immense power by breaking the rules, he should use his power to break the current corrupt rules, bring hope to people, and bring blessings to all living beings.

If this place is hell, he suddenly understood why there is such a great vow as "I will not become a Buddha until hell is empty."

He can have the same lofty ambitions as others.

Although Wu Yun wouldn't argue, he still wanted to comfort Lin Yi, telling him not to fight too hard against the rules. Although Lin Yi was powerful, he was still just a mortal.

Mortals and spirits are not on the same level.

However, before the dark cloud could speak, Lin Yi stopped it.

"There's no need to persuade me anymore. I know what I have to do on this trip to the underworld."

Upon hearing this, Wu Yun suddenly had a premonition that something big was about to happen. Sure enough, Lin Yi looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle and said, "When a ruler is tyrannical, there will be people to relieve the people's suffering and punish the guilty. When heaven and earth are tyrannical, there will also be people to restore order and restore order."

Faced with the current flawed situation, complaining and anger are useless; only change is the way forward! If someone is destined to stand up and cleanse the world, why can't that person be me?

"hiss……"

Wu Yun gasped for breath. "Big brother, you truly are Xiao Se's big brother. Xiao Se wants to rebel against her father, but you want to rebel against God?"

"Big brother, stop talking, I'm scared."

The kitten was already trembling. Cultivators perceive the world and are also perceived by the world. Such words cannot be said casually!

Although Lin Yi was already a bit carried away, he was also someone who could listen to advice. He knew it wasn't good to say such things, but he still made up his mind.

"One day, I will break these unfair rules and sweep away the darkness in the world!"

Lin Yi was unaware that the voice in one's heart is also a voice.

Even if you only say it in your heart, since it is a sincere determination, the effect is actually better than saying it out loud.
