I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

"Then I'll go first."

After saying goodbye, Lin Yi left the Crystal Palace without hesitation.

Hey, this should boost my favorability a lot, right?

He offered to help Jiang Linglong this time, so she probably won't be able to refuse him next time she needs his help!

Spiritual practice isn't all about fighting and killing; it's about human relationships and worldly wisdom.

"I was so clever."

In the Crystal Palace, Jiang Linglong watched Lin Yi's figure gradually disappear, but she was still reluctant to return to the Dragon King's Palace for a long time.

She had just drunk blood, and the curse had been suppressed, but a stranger restlessness arose in her heart.

Did he just invite me to visit his home?

Jiang Linglong was very happy. After looking at herself, she realized that wearing a bright red robe was not appropriate. She quickly returned to the Dragon King's Palace, opened her wardrobe, and began to dress up.

At this moment, Lin Yi had no idea how big of a mess he had made. After emerging from the water, he swam to the other side.

He knew that Guan Buping must have been worried during his absence, but the situation was also very critical for him at the time, and Lin Yi was still terrified when he arrived at the Crystal Palace.

If he doesn't act decisively, once Jiang Linglong leaves the Crystal Palace, she will definitely come looking for him, and then it won't just be a matter of him being sucked dry.

Now that things have been done, all we can do is figure out how to clean up the mess.

Lin Yi went ashore on the other side of the river and saw a wet footprint.

Judging from these small footprints, they must have been left by the old man.

Before Lin Yi jumped into the water, he saw the old man's appearance; it was Zhou Yue'e's father-in-law, the mother of the zombie.

His appearance in this place and his ability to escape from him clearly indicate that he is no ordinary person; he may be the one who orchestrated everything.

Now that his cultivation had improved, Lin Yi was more confident and continued to follow the trail.

Before long, he saw the old man digging up the grave, cursing as he did so: "I finally found a perfect burial ground with mountains in front and water behind, and this zombie with such a top-notch destiny, but it was ruined by two nameless soldiers from the Jingye Division. I'm so angry!"

Angry as I am, I'll still run away.

He only dared to dig up the body after he saw that no one was following him.

The Jingye Division has definitely failed to catch up, and given time to investigate, they might find this precious corpse sometime soon. Buried in the grave is none other than his adopted son, Yang Feng.

Yang Feng is more useful than Zhou Yue'e.

Moreover, Zhou Yue'e died in humiliation. Yang Feng not only witnessed his father's evil deeds, but was also tied to the bier and forced to watch Chen Sheng defile his wife's corpse.

In the midst of immense resentment and rage, he kills them again, and with the aid of secret techniques, buries them in a corpse-raising ground. Within seven days, a blood corpse can be cultivated.

Zhou Yue'e is just a figurehead; the fact that she's turned into a zombie can't be kept secret. So Yang Lei decided to make a big scene, drawing more attention to Zhou Yue'e and giving him time to raise the blood zombie.

Who would have thought that Zhou Yue'e was killed with a single blow as soon as she appeared, and even the little zombies she had raised were wiped out, forcing her to flee.

Fortunately, the blood corpses can be raised in a different place without any sudden interruption.

"I'll settle accounts with you after I've fully matured into a blood corpse!"

Yang Lei was still muttering to himself when he suddenly felt a chill on his neck.

The next second, a blade flashed and he was beheaded before he could even react.

As the saying goes, practice makes perfect. Lin Yi's decapitation technique has become increasingly skilled. Regardless of the opponent's height, weight, gender, or age, he can make a precise and elegant cut with a single stroke.

"What nonsense are you spouting? I hadn't even dared to kill you directly."

The old man was a natural camouflage. When Lin Yi saw him digging the grave, he was still considering whether to take action. After all, without evidence of the other party's crime, Lin Yi could not directly kill him.

However, since the other party was digging up the grave while muttering to himself, essentially revealing all his crimes, Lin Yi naturally wouldn't hold back any longer.

Giving these people a way to live is tantamount to leading yourself down a dead end.

With that one stab, Yang Lei was dead.

Lin Yi also saw the body that Yang Lei had just dug out; it was Zhou Yue'e's husband, Yang Feng.

Having read Zhou Yue'e's memories, Lin Yi roughly guessed the reason for the incident.

Humans are the most terrifying demons, but unfortunately, killing them doesn't increase one's cultivation level.

Even if they don't add to the numbers, they will still be killed.

Lin Yi also cut off Yang Feng's head, wrapped it up, and swam towards the other side of the river with the two corpses.

At this moment, Guan Buping was still diving up and down, searching for Lin Yi's whereabouts.

The aura of that powerful figure had disappeared, and the water was slowly returning to its normal temperature, but Guan Buping still couldn't find Lin Yi, and his heart sank.

Until Wang Jinxuan shouted loudly, "Look, Brother Lin is over there!"

From beginning to end, only Wang Jinxuan was completely unconcerned about Lin Yi.

See? He's back now.

This is a hidden master, only a clever heroine like me could discover him!

Chapter 42 The gold in my hand suddenly didn't smell so good anymore.

With Lin Yi bringing back the bodies of Yang Feng and Yang Lei, the case of the "corpse scourge in Linjiang Town" was considered closed.

But the real trouble is just beginning.

The four ghostly spirits usually act together, but they are not always together. However, the fact that You Tong appeared in Xing Sha County indicates that the other three ghostly spirits have also arrived, but it is unknown where they are hiding.

Normally, Guan Buping would consider this the biggest threat, but now, due to the appearance of the unknown powerful being beneath the Xiang River, the matter of the Four Netherworld Demons seems insignificant.

He just wanted to get back as soon as possible and report what had happened here.

Before that, he had reprimanded Lin Yi.

Although Lin Yi was credited with meritorious service, his disregard for his own safety in order to complete the mission was extremely irresponsible towards himself and his family.

Lin Yi obediently agreed, deciding not to argue with Guan Buping, and the matter was thus resolved.

On the way back, Guan Buping and Lin Yi rode together on one horse, while Wang Jinxuan silently followed behind on his Feidu.

Feidu has a gentle temperament, which is suitable for someone like Wang Jinxuan who has little riding experience. Looking at this scene, Wang Jinxuan felt that something was wrong.

Goodness, aren't novels all about men and women sharing rides?

You just gave up on me, a beautiful and charming woman, and went to ride with a man in his thirties or forties?

This is nothing like the martial arts world!

Lin Yi was simply following etiquette.

He had heard the term "Wei-Jin elegance" before; elegance wasn't just for men, but also for women.

But Wang Jinxuan was, after all, a daughter of a prominent family. Although her reputation wasn't exactly good—she was known for being fierce and unruly—she didn't have any bad reputation when it came to chastity.

When they arrived in Linjiang Town before, Lin Yi rode with her, and no one knew, so it could be pretended that nothing had happened. But if they went back now and Wang Jinxuan's father and brothers saw it, then it would be a real problem.

So be careful when flirting with girls.

Lin Yi's precautions were indeed justified. Halfway there, the group encountered a large group of people dressed in military uniforms. Lin Yi and his companions quickly stopped. They were not flustered, as they were all officials. Even if there was a problem, they could reason with them, and if reasoning failed, they could use force.

Wang Jinxuan immediately recognized the leader and exclaimed in surprise, "Big Brother?"

"Jinxuan!"

The voice contained both shock and anger, as well as relief. Clearly, Wang Jinxuan's family had come looking for him. They were furious and wanted nothing more than to give the brat a good beating, but seeing that he was alright, they were genuinely relieved.

"You're becoming more and more reckless, actually leaving the city alone without permission!"

Wang Qian swung the riding whip in his hand and struck Wang Jinxuan. Wang Jinxuan quickly protected her head, but the whip only cracked once near her ear before being quickly withdrawn.

He was genuinely angry, but in front of so many people, Wang Qian still chose to save face for his sister.

"I'll deal with you when we get back."

"Oh."

Wang Jinxuan gave a pitiful reply. As the eldest brother, she was very arrogant in front of her second brother, but very obedient in front of her eldest brother.

After reprimanding his sister, Wang Qian turned to Guan Buping and Lin Yi and said, "My sister is naughty. I'm sorry to trouble Chief Constable Guan and this young man to take care of her."

His gaze toward Lin Yi was exceptionally sharp; he spoke words of gratitude, but his words were actually filled with murderous intent.

Seeing how handsome Lin Yi was, Wang Qian immediately guessed it.

So you're Lin Yi, right?!

He had been thinking that although his younger sister had been lawless before, she hadn't gone this far. Sure enough, she had been seduced by this pretty boy.

Guan Buping saw through Wang Qian's subtle hostility towards Lin Yi. He also didn't want Lin Yi to get too involved with the Prefect's Mansion, so he said directly, "Young Master Wang, you flatter us. It's getting late, and we have urgent business to attend to back in the city. We'll be at ease once Miss Wang is returned to you."

Before Lin Yi could even speak, he took the flying crossover back and gave it to Lin Yi to ride. Seeing Guan Buping in such a hurry, Wang Qian didn't dare to stop him and ordered his men to make way. Accompanied by the clatter of hooves, Lin Yi and Guan Buping's figures quickly disappeared into the night.

"He does indeed have an extraordinary air about him. If he hadn't married, even if people laughed at him, my brother wouldn't have stopped you."

He's married now; you'd better stay away from him.

To make his little sister understand his attitude, Wang Qian spoke in a very cold tone. Unexpectedly, Wang Jinxuan just smiled mysteriously and said, "Brother, you really don't understand at all!"

Wang Qian: "..."

I could feel it; the blood and energy were rushing to the top of my head.

What to do when your child is disobedient?

Just beat them up.

But what if my sister can't bring herself to hit me?

Beat up Lin Yi!

"I advise you to think carefully about what you've done, or don't blame your brother for being ruthless!"

"Know it!"

Wang Jinxuan outwardly agreed, but his mind was already racing with possibilities.

Following this trend, her brother will choose to oppose Lin Yi, which in the story is clearly the biggest stumbling block on the road to love between the male and female protagonists, and he will definitely not have a good ending.

As their conflict escalates, she, the poor female protagonist, caught between her family and lover, is forced into a love-hate relationship with her partner...
