I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

Many people become ghosts after they die, and the first person they seek out is someone they had a grudge against in life. Zero One is probably doing the same thing right now.

But to Wuyun's surprise, after thinking for a while, Zero One replied with two words using Yin energy: "Reasonable."

"This works?"

The cat looked completely shocked.

Even though she's in human form now, her round face is still as cute as a cat's, and that shocked expression is enough to melt anyone's heart.

However, things were not as simple as Wu Yun thought. Ling Yi thought Lin Yi's answer was reasonable, but that did not mean she intended to let the matter of Ling Yi's murder go.

"Since you have forgiven me for what I did to you in the past, we can consider it wiped clean."

But I haven't forgiven you for killing Zero.

Lin Yi was tired just looking at the long string of characters that Lingyi wrote out one by one, but for the spellcaster Lingyi, it was just a piece of cake.

The difference in levels of understanding can be seen even in these subtle details.

Lin Yi was a little worried; if a real fight broke out, he didn't know how many rounds he could last.

Therefore, considering seeking a sum at this point is not actually shameful.

What will it take for you to forgive me?

Lin Yi immediately adopted a negotiating stance, instantly changing the situation from one of fighting to one of negotiation.

Zero One couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Based on her past practices, killing Lin Yi was her only option.

Anyone who bullies Lingling must die!

However, just as she had this thought, another idea arose in her mind that prevented her from committing violence against Lin Yi.

Zero One knew that the only thing that could interfere with his thinking was Zero Zero.

Clearly, Lingling didn't want Lin Yi to die, which is why she used her thoughts to influence Lingyi and make her restrain her murderous intent.

This made Zero One unable to understand Zero Zero's thoughts.

Since she was bullied, she should definitely retaliate. So why didn't Lingling let her kill Lin Yi?

If Lingling were magnanimous, it would be fine, but she insisted on coming to find Lin Yi, and after finding him, she didn't kill him. What was she trying to do?

Lingyi, whose thinking is relatively simple, cannot understand such complex emotions, to the point that she doesn't know how to answer Lin Yi's question.

How to forgive?

I can't forgive you, prepare to die!

Just as Lingyi was about to give an angry reply, she felt Lingling's dissuasion again. This time, Lingling expressed her feelings even more firmly.

Don't kill him!

Zero One: "..."

Left with no other choice, she had to resort to her not-so-good brain.

Finally, she remembered the request that Lingling had made to Lin Yi earlier.

After their souls merged, their emotions did not merge, and their personalities remained independent. However, they shared memories, so Zero One could know what happened to Zero One and even understand her psychology, but she could not inherit the emotions from that time.

This is somewhat similar to Lin Yi's Demon-Slaying Manual.

When Lingling was still the Thousand Illusion Ghost Princess, she made a request to Lin Yi, asking him to return to the Hundred Ghosts Sect with her, which was essentially keeping him by her side.

But then Jiang Linglong appeared, and Yu Xue emerged, which thwarted Lingling's plan to forcibly take people away.

Later, when her memory became clearer, Lingling still hadn't completed this task.

and so……

"Come back to the Hundred Ghosts Gate with me, and I will forgive you."

Lin Yi: "..."

This plot has now reached a second peak.

If he goes back to the Hundred Ghosts Sect with Zero One, he will most likely become her private pet.

Although she was pretty and looked like the girl next door, Lin Yi's time was precious and he couldn't waste it on her.

Although He Dong transformed from a ghost into a human and possessed a human body, she remained on the Demon Exorcising Manual.

Even if you kill her, you can still gain power.

In other words, she is essentially a ghost.

Now that her cultivation level is stuck at 1,999 years, she probably can't improve it by getting angry like before, but that doesn't necessarily mean she won't have to go through the Heavenly Tribulation again.

If her cultivation reaches the required level and a heavenly tribulation occurs, attracting the attention of the underworld, Lin Yi would be completely unprepared to deal with it.

It's still unclear what the future holds, so Lin Yi can only do his best to cultivate diligently in the remaining year, making the worst-case scenario plan and preparing for the best possible outcome.

Even without the Longhu Mountain incident and Zero One coming to his door, he only planned to stay at home for three days to spend time with his several young wives.

"I have many important things to do, and I am afraid I cannot comply with this request."

Lin Yi decisively rejected Zero One. His Heavenly Eye had already seen the battle between Jiang Linglong and Zhang Chengye. It was a one-sided beating, probably because Jiang Linglong was worried about Lin Yi's side, so she fought particularly fiercely.

With Yu Xue's help, Zhang Chengye was completely outmatched.

Zhang Chengye hadn't expected the monsters here to be so ferocious. He thought he could easily subdue them and enhance the reputation of Longhu Mountain.

As a result, his fame will likely never spread, but his ashes might.

Jiang Linglong's attacks were fierce, and Zhang Chengye could only flee in panic, barely managing to hold his own thanks to the jade ruyi that protected him.

At this rate, Jiang Linglong should be able to deal with Zhang Chengye soon and then come back to support him.

This time won't be long, because Yu Xue's supernatural powers will be activated soon.

Lin Yi's rejection of Zero One at this time was also a preparation for fighting her. By taking action against Zero One in advance, he could also help Jiang Linglong test Zero One's supernatural abilities.

"If you don't leave, I'll tie you up and take you away."

After Lingyi wrote this sentence with Yin energy, Lingling inside her body also resonated strongly with her. Obviously, Lingling also felt that doing so was very enjoyable.

"Then I'll have to see what you've got."

A glint of lightning flashed in Lin Yi's eyes as the Demon-Slaying Sword appeared in his hand, emitting an excited buzzing sound.

Lingyi didn't say much. With a flick of her wrist, a black lotus flower appeared in her hand.

That was clearly a ball of ghostly fire.

Zero One gave Lin Yi a playful look, as if he were provoking him.

Lin Yi used Yang Fire to break Lingling's Netherfire. Can Lin Yi break her Netherfire?

Judging from the expression, that's roughly the gist of it.

Although both are Netherfire, the lotus flower that Zero One created didn't look very big, but the sense of crisis it brought to Lin Yi was incomparable to that of Zero Zero back then.

Lin Yi had no reason to back down. Since the opponent wanted to compete in firepower, he wouldn't gain any advantage by using other spells. He might as well use fire first.

A flickering flame also condensed in his palm. Compared to Ling Yi, who could make the flame into a lotus shape with a simple gesture, Lin Yi's control seemed noticeably weaker.

But in a contest between the two sides, there's no need for such fancy tricks; technique doesn't matter, as long as the firepower is sufficient.

Seeing that Lin Yi was also ready, Ling Yi flicked her finger slightly, and the black fire lotus floated towards Lin Yi.

She didn't go all out; Lingling's requirement was to capture the body alive, not to take it back.

Even so, the power of this ball of fire should not be underestimated. Lin Yi had no intention of taking it head-on. Knowing that his skills were inferior to Ling Yi's, it would be foolish to try to fight against a rock with an egg.

On the surface, he unleashed his Yang Fire, seemingly preparing to confront Zero One head-on with the most direct means. However, when it came to actually making a move, he activated his sword energy, wrapped it with Yang Fire, and shot it out, causing Zero One's fire lotus to explode in mid-air.

Using the flames from the explosion as cover, Lin Yi flashed behind Zero One and threw a punch.

This lightning-fast maneuver truly stunned Wuyun.

She only knew that Lin Yi lacked martial ethics, but she didn't know that Lin Yi was really this bad!

However, when the gap in strength reaches a certain level, such tricks cannot turn the tide.

Zero One's talent points were all allocated to combat, and combat intuition is also a very important part of it. In addition, his cultivation level far surpasses Lin Yi's, making it almost impossible for Lin Yi to launch a sneak attack.

Therefore, when Lin Yi's fist came, Zero One remained calm and composed, striking first and gently clenching his fist to cover Lin Yi's fist.

"He's quite strong, but still a bit weak."

Lingyi raised an eyebrow, revealing a mocking expression. Lin Yi translated it, and that was roughly the gist of it.

After the mockery, Zero One didn't hold back. With a backhand snap, Lin Yi's right hand, which had thrown the punch, was broken with a crack.

Lin Yi endured the excruciating pain without making a sound, and kicked out again, aiming straight for the bottom lane.

Lingyi never expected Lin Yi to be so insidious, fighting with a woman and kicking her in the bottom lane. She had never seen such a shameless person before.

Even the shadowy clouds, who were secretly observing, couldn't stand it anymore. Although Lin Yi was an ally, this behavior...

I really can't agree with that.

Both the spiritual practice community and the secular martial arts world are deeply influenced by the culture of "propriety".

Propriety is virtue.

In battles between cultivators, it's common to die at the hands of the other, there's nothing to say about that. But if one lacks martial ethics, even if one wins, one will be ridiculed.

People like Lin Yi are really rare.

Lin Yi is a pragmatist. He only talks about martial virtue when he can win. Now, his life, Jiang Linglong's life, and Yu Xue's life are all hanging by a thread. As long as he can win, why should he be bound by the means?

Through the Demon-Slaying Manual, he already knew that Zero One possessed the heaven-defying passive skill of the Lawbreaker and the ultimate passive skill of the Undying. Even if Jiang Linglong were to unleash her full power, she might not be able to kill Zero One. If he didn't fight now, none of them would survive.

Since the opponent is a spellbreaker, we can only try physical attacks.

Since the opponent still has a physical body, we can try attacking their weaknesses.

He hasn't even gouged out his eyes or pulled his hair yet!

Of course, the kick was blocked by the Thousand Illusion Ghost Princess. She bent her knee to block it, but her knee also felt a piercing pain.

Although Lin Yi's cultivation level was not as high as his, he had focused all his cultivation on his physical body, so the force of this kick was considerable.

A flash of anger crossed Lingyi's eyes. Even though she had broken Lin Yi's arm earlier, she had still held back. She didn't expect Lin Yi to be so ungrateful, and she got angry too.
