I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

"..."

Seeing that their argument was getting louder and louder and that they were about to fight, Shang Chang'er couldn't help but shout angrily, "What are you arguing about? If you're so capable, why don't you go and slay demons and monsters instead of making a scene here? You're supposed to be cultivators, where is your tranquility and inaction?"

Shang Chang'er was an outsider, but her scolding silenced both sides. After all, she had just stepped in to help, and the medicine looked quite valuable.

Neither side should speak ill of such a kind person.

"Send your senior brother back to recover first. Although he took some medicine, he must have injured his internal organs just now. He needs to rest for a while. It's a shame you still have the heart to argue here."

The people of Shuilong Temple felt a little embarrassed after Shang Chang'er said that. Yu Jing glared at Zhou Quan resentfully before bowing to Shang Chang'er and saying, "Thank you for the medicine, Miss. We will remember it forever. If you have time, please come to Shuilong Temple for a visit."

"it is good."

Shang Chang'er agreed, but didn't plan to go. She was worried that if she went up the mountain to play, it would be bad if Lin Yi passed by.

The Taoist priests of Shuilong Temple then picked up their jade robes and hurriedly went up the mountain.

"Amitabha! Thank you for helping this humble monk out of this predicament."

Zhou Quan chanted a Buddhist prayer to Shang Chang'er, but Shang Chang'er couldn't stand this kind of sneak attack. The talisman light collapsed as soon as it touched him. He should have realized that Yu Huai was holding back. How could he still hit someone's chest?

"A wolf in sheep's clothing, don't try to disgust people."

Shang Chang'er strode away. She had already made some progress in the "Close-up to the Ends of the Earth" technique that A Qi had taught her. She disappeared from the Waterfall Viewing Pavilion after only a few steps.

Zhou Quan's face darkened as he was scolded again. He felt wronged but didn't know where to begin.

Although some of his junior brothers came to comfort him, some of them still looked strange, clearly feeling that he had done something wrong.

"Second Brother, let's go back to the temple too!"

The incident seemed to have passed just like that.

Yu Huai's injury is nothing serious; she can recover in a few days.

Ah Qi knew that the seeds of inner demons and hatred had already been sown. She didn't need to do anything more; she could simply wait for the fruits to ripen…

Shang Chang'er was unaware that she had unintentionally helped A Qi; she was also being thoroughly manipulated.

In a small town at the foot of Mount Lu, Shang Chang'er settled down.

The town is called Shanxing Town. Its original name is unknown. Legend has it that Xie Lingyun, a famous scholar of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, once traveled through this place and climbed Mount Lu. He later wrote "Climbing to the Top of Mount Lu and Looking at the Various Peaks", which begins with the lines: "Mountain travel has no set time, and the farther it goes, the less it can stop."

From then on, this place was called Shanxing Town.

Because of the connection between Shanxing Town and Xie Gong, many famous scholars often visited Lushan Mountain and would pass through this town to write poems and essays. Gradually, the town also developed a literary atmosphere.

As soon as Shang Chang'er entered the town, she felt very uncomfortable with the atmosphere. She felt that the pedestrians here all had arrogant expressions and looked down on outsiders.

But their respectful and obsequious attitude towards scholars dressed in fine clothes was something Shang Chang'er couldn't stand.

"Don't cause trouble here. Of your master's three disciples, he is the least fond of you. You should also look for the reason within yourself."

Shang Chang'er originally wanted to return to her old profession, but after hearing what A Qi said, she felt somewhat unconvinced, but she had to admit that compared to Xiao Cao and Wang Jinxuan, she was indeed the least favored one.

"He doesn't like me lying? As long as I'm doing what's right, my master definitely won't blame me."

"If you were just a chivalrous person, that would be fine, but I can see that you are quite mischievous. Obviously, you just like to play tricks on people."

"Humph……"

Shang Chang'er realized she couldn't refute it; she was closer to Master A Qi, and could act coquettishly more often.

After all, Master Aqi was always by his side, so he was naturally closer to him than Lin Yi.

Now that she was being lectured, she naturally reflected on her actions.

In fact, many of the times she started her scams were not for the purpose of doing good deeds, but for the purpose of playing pranks on people.

Just like that time at the ghost market, she saw that Lin Yi was simple-minded, so she pretended to educate him, but actually she was just being playful and wanted to tease him.

But the other party was also a seasoned veteran, and instead used a Heaven-level cultivation technique to fool her.

At that time, she was also tempted by greed and lost her sense of right and wrong. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been humiliated by Lin Yi and lost a lot of money.

From then on, Shang Chang'er always reminded herself not to be greedy, for even thieves have their code of honor.

“If Master Ah Qi thinks I’m unruly, then I’ll just stay home and avoid having to put up with those pedantic scholars.”

"You speak so crudely, how could your Master Lin possibly like you!"

Ah Qi teased Shang Chang'er again, and Shang Chang'er immediately became angry and embarrassed: "I don't care about that! As long as he can learn the skills, it doesn't matter who he likes."

That being said, Lin Yi's image involuntarily lingered in her mind.

It's all because he's handsome and has a great personality, which makes Shang Chang'er very distressed.

When will I be able to see him again?

Little did Shang Chang'er know that if she had stayed in Xingsha, she would probably have seen Lin Yi today.

This must be a cruel twist of fate!

Shang Chang'er wasn't the only one who wanted to see Lin Yi.

In Lin Yi's home in Xingsha City, a girl in white sat alone on the screen wall.

She didn't know where Lin Yi had gone, but she knew he would always come back here.

With the moon high in the sky, the young girl gazed up at the heavens, a few thoughts drifting through her mind.

Suddenly, with a creak, the door she had closed tightly opened...

Chapter 346 The Memories of the Thousand-Illusion Demon Princess

The person who pushed open the door was not Lin Yi, but an ordinary old Taoist priest.

To say he was ordinary was because of his unremarkable demeanor; he wore a simple, plain Taoist robe, and the few nasolabial folds around his eyes made his face appear rather kind.

What makes him unusual is that he always stands ramrod straight.

Upon seeing the young woman sitting on the screen wall, the old Taoist priest cupped his hands and asked, "May I ask if this young lady is the owner of this place?"

"I'm waiting for someone, not the host."

A few wisps of yin energy formed characters, causing the old Taoist priest's pupils to shrink.

Such pure Yin energy, such skillful use of techniques—he couldn't even discern the depth of the other's cultivation.

Having not been to the mortal world for a long time, I unexpectedly encountered such a master during a casual stroll.

However, there is no cause and effect between them, so there is no need to worry about it.

"Since you are not the master, then may I ask another question, young lady: do you know where the master has gone?"

"I don't know who you are, or what brings you here."

The yin energy formed characters again, and the old Taoist priest couldn't help but feel puzzled. Could such a master be mute?

But if she could speak, she wouldn't have wasted her effort forming characters with yin energy.

Although he was puzzled, he couldn't pry into other people's secrets, so he suppressed his curiosity and said, "I am Zhang Chengye, and I have come here to settle a karmic debt. And you are, young lady?"

"Zero One".

What Zhang Chengye really wanted to ask was what this girl was doing here, waiting for someone, perhaps the master of the house?

He also wanted to know what the relationship was between this unfathomable girl and the person he was looking for—whether they were friend or foe—he had to find out first.

As a result, the other party replied with these two words...

Is that her name?

"The girl's name is quite unique."

"..."

The other party stopped using Yin Qi to form characters, probably because they didn't want to communicate with him anymore. Zhang Chengye didn't mind and continued to ask, "What is the relationship between Miss Lingyi and the master's family?"

Ling paused for a moment before slowly forming two words: "enemy".

Since they are enemies, things will be easier to handle.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Zhang Chengye doesn't need any helpers, but he doesn't want to have another mysterious and unpredictable enemy.

Since the other person can be a friend, there's no need to hide it from her.

Zhang Chengye calculated with his fingers and said, "If Miss Lingyi wants to wait here for the master to return, there's no need. This room has lost its vitality, and the master won't be back anytime soon. I'm skilled in divination; why don't you come with me to search for him?"

"can."

Inside the Crystal Palace, Lin Yi suddenly sneezed.

"Who's talking about me again?"

Lin Yi rubbed his nose, not thinking much of it.

He found a side hall in the Crystal Palace, ready to carefully observe the memories of the Thousand Illusion Ghost Princess.

After killing her, Lin Yi was on the run and didn't bother to look at her. He made a point of taking the time to visit her, which was also a way of showing respect to the Thousand Illusion Ghost Princess.

Lin Yi turned the page of the Demon-Slaying Manual to the grayed-out page and saw the image of the Thousand Illusion Ghost Princess again.

He couldn't help but sigh.

Although he didn't hesitate for a moment when he ruthlessly destroyed the flowers, he still couldn't help but feel a little sad when he saw the beautiful life wither away in his hands.

You were a beautiful woman, but why did you become a thief?

However, since he is already dead, everything from the past has naturally vanished.

Let's see how a great villain was born!

Lin Yi touched upon the memories of the Thousand Illusion Ghost Princess and began to watch.

The art style of the first act surprised Lin Yi.

When he viewed the memories of most of the people he killed, there was a somber and dark filter. Many of the victims' most vivid memories were of times when they encountered misfortune, and thus negative emotions dominated.

Yet, the memory filter of Thousand Illusion Ghost Princess, a ruthless and unscrupulous big boss, is actually warm and sunny.

At this time, Qianhuan Guiji was still a little girl under ten years old, with a very lively personality. She was running in the sunset, with many people chasing behind her.

She was so engrossed in playing that she tripped over a tree root and almost fell.

Fortunately, a dashing woman suddenly appeared in front of her, caught her, and lifted her high in the air.
