I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

Lin Yi himself didn't care about these empty titles, and even older people bowing down in front of him made him very uncomfortable.

But since Xiao Qian insisted on this, Lin Yi didn't dwell on the topic any further.

"Actually, I came to see you because I wanted to ask you something."

"Please speak, senior."

"If you were given sufficient military support, would you consider restoring order and reshaping the world?"

Shi Yu: "..."

He never expected that Lin Yi would come to persuade him to reclaim the throne. No wonder he mocked him at the beginning; it seems he was using reverse psychology.

pity……

He had no interest in the throne.

What good is being an emperor? A lifetime of hard work and scheming, and you gain nothing.

It would be better to be a spiritual practitioner, living a long and carefree life.

“I am no longer Xiao Qian, how can I set things right? Shi Yu is devoted to the Dao and does not wish to be tainted by the mortal world anymore.”

Shi Yu reiterated his stance, leaving Lin Yi somewhat disappointed.

He came to Xiao Qian with this suggestion, partly out of self-interest, but also out of a desire to help Xiao Qian.

He could no longer tolerate Xiao Zhao, but according to what Guishan Daoren had said before, to kill Xiao Zhao, he had to go with the flow.

Assassination is definitely out of the question; it would backfire on the nation's fortune, and no cultivator could withstand such a backlash.

Although Lin Yi felt he probably had a chance, he didn't dare to gamble.

Upon meeting Xiao Qian, Lin Yi had an idea.

Once the imperial court is overthrown, killing Xiao Zhao is no different from killing a chicken.

However, in this day and age, to rebel, one must have a legitimate reason for doing so.

Now that Xiao Zhao has just ascended the throne, he is at the height of his prestige.

Lin Yi knew that he was the one who colluded with demons to do those things, but he didn't have enough evidence to prove him guilty.

Raising an army on such grounds will not win over the people.

But Xiao Qian is different; his existence is perfectly legitimate.

In Lin Yi's eyes, Xiao Qian was not a good emperor, a good husband, or a good father, but he had done his best, just not to the point of being willing to risk his life.

That's not bad.

At least, he is still a human being.

But Lin Yi felt that Xiao Zhao could no longer be considered human.

Supporting Xiao Qian's rebellion, or rather, rebellion in Xiao Qian's name, would also benefit Xiao Qian.

He no longer needs to be separated from his wife and children, live in anonymity, and can live a decent life in the future.

Unexpectedly, he still refused.

Lin Yi didn't insist.

"Since you've made up your mind, then go and pursue your own path! I will take care of your wife and daughters!"

Chapter 358 Not Arguing with a Brainless Demon King

Lin Yi left as soon as he finished speaking, without the slightest hesitation, leaving Shi Yu speechless.

You just leave, what are you talking about, saying I'll take care of your wife and daughters!

For a moment, Shi Yu's Dao heart became somewhat unstable.

However, Lin Yi was not the prime minister, and he meant well when he said that.

It's clear that Xiao Qian wasn't completely heartless towards his concubines and princesses; otherwise, he wouldn't have risked everything to save them and spent so much money.

Since the other party was so devoted to the Dao, Lin Yi decided to lend him a small favor.

Regardless of whether Xiao Qian is there or not, Lin Yi intends to help these poor people who are being auctioned off. The young men and women are fine, but these pampered imperial concubines are all so beautiful. Without any means of self-defense, they will be devoured without a trace.

Fortunately, there was a promising talent among them, and Lin Yi planned to train him properly.

However, now is not the time.

Lin Yi planned to deal with the Moonlight Buddha first, and then visit several nearby border towns.

Lin Yi didn't believe that only Hanzhong Prefecture was conducting this kind of auction; it was very likely that other border cities were doing the same thing.

It's like you see one cockroach, but there's actually a whole nest of cockroaches in your house.

With time running out, Lin Yi left behind the Demon-Slaying Sword, instructing it to watch over these mortals.

Including those who had already received their travel expenses and left, Lin Yi had the Demon-Slaying Sword include all of them in the observation range.

As for the battle with the Moonlight Buddha, since the opponent was human, the Demon-Slaying Sword was not very useful. Only the sharpness and toughness of the Immortal Sword were of little use to Lin Yi.

It can only be used to its fullest potential by protecting others.

The Demon-Slaying Sword was separated from Lin Yi once again, much to Lin Yi's embarrassment.

Zhan Yao treated him as his master, while Zhan Yao treated him as a tool.

Next time I'll definitely bring it along to slay demons and monsters.

Lin Yi quietly returned to Hanzhong County. Thanks to his demon-slaying and monster-eliminating efforts that morning, the evil aura in Hanzhong County had diminished considerably, but it had gained a more bloody atmosphere.

Even the blood of demons is still blood.

Most of the ordinary people in the city didn't know what had happened; they just felt that the gloomy weather today made them feel a bit depressed.

Those who stand on high ground have a sense of impending doom.

In the room of the Moonlight Buddha at the Hanzhong Inn, three people were sitting facing each other.

One of the bald men, needless to say, was none other than the alluring monk, Moonlight Buddha.

The other two were dressed as Confucian scholars, wearing long gowns, turbans, and holding feather fans, and were worthy of the description of resembling Zhou Yu.

This is the King of the Underworld who knows words.

The last one was dressed in a bright yellow Taoist robe and looked like a kind and honest old farmer, giving off a very friendly vibe.

His true identity is the Centipede Demon King of the Ten Thousand Demon Alliance.

Judging by their appearance alone, no one would guess that the three of them came from the three major demonic sects.

The low-level villains are fierce and menacing, while the high-level villains are kind and benevolent; this is also reflected in these three individuals.

Ordinary people would be fooled by their appearance, but even though they have the least number of lives on their hands, the Moonlight Buddha has directly or indirectly caused the deaths of hundreds of people.

The three men sat down to enjoy tea, much like a refined gathering of Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism. But the moment they opened their mouths, their vulgarity was revealed.

"A mere child's threat is enough to make you so excited? Old Bai, you're really going downhill."

The Centipede Demon King looked at the Moon-White Light Buddha with disdain, and was very contemptuous of his ostentatious and flamboyant behavior.

It would be one thing to just call him by his name, but to call him by the name of the second-rank Zhiyan Mingwang?

If it weren't for the sake of the Pure Heaven Sect and the Thousand Buddha Temple, he would have turned against them long ago.

Despite being mocked by the Centipede Demon King, the Moon-White Light Buddha harbored murderous intent, yet maintained a gentle smile on his face.

"Fellow Daoist Centipede, you may not know this, but someone so young who can fight me to a standstill must have quite a background."

I see he's a steady and reliable person; since he dared to make such a statement, he must have something to rely on.

The analysis by the Buddha of Moonlight is quite reasonable. However, the King of the Underworld, who was waving his feather fan, asked timidly, "Then... what if he was just saying it?"

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible. We are all people of status. How could we speak so casually? Wouldn't that ruin our reputation?"

"That's right, you haven't reached that level yet, so don't make any wild guesses."

The Centipede Demon King echoed the sentiment while looking at the Underworld King with disdain.

They are not on the same level.

Even though Hades knew this, he wasn't angry. He never bothered with people who were brainless.

No wonder, monsters who cultivate to become spirits are prone to all sorts of problems; there are quite a few brainless people among the demon race.

If he knew that Hades was not very capable, why would the Moonlight Buddha invite him?

It should be noted that the Moonlight Buddha offered the Six Sounds Secret Technique as payment for his assistance this time.

The Six Sounds of Buddhism is a secret technique comparable to the Nine Talismans True Understanding. The Nine Talismans True Understanding is one of the four Heavenly Grade Secret Techniques. It is superior to the Six Sounds of Buddhism because it covers a wide range of topics, is all-encompassing, and is all-encompassing.

The Six Sounds of Buddhism are also a celestial secret technique. The six sounds, Om Mani Padme Hum, possess various supernatural abilities.

Reciting it daily can strengthen muscles and bones and dispel inner demons.

When facing enemies, the six-syllable mantra can also intimidate people, break spells, provide protection, and so on, making it a multi-functional tool.

With Hades making a move, the price is certainly justified.

Out of respect for the Moonlight Buddha, he didn't bother arguing with the Centipede Demon King. He simply said to the Moonlight Buddha, "What you say makes sense. However, who is the person you're talking about? I have some connections in the Southern Dynasty and may have heard of his name."

Moonlight Buddha: "..."

His confident smile suddenly stiffened a little.

Lin Yi never introduced himself or gave his name, and his origins were unknown. If he had just left, even the Moonlit Buddha would not know how to spread the word.

How can you smear someone if you don't even know their name?

The Buddha of Moonlight and Light chanted a Buddhist prayer, calming his emotions slightly, and said, "Since the seeds of cause and effect have been sown, we will meet again in the future."

He was heartbroken at that moment.

If Lin Yi doesn't come, wouldn't all his efforts have been in vain?

Getting three top-tier experts to help is no cheap deal; they all offer hefty sums and also have to consider personal favors.

If Lin Yi comes, that's fine; if he doesn't, we can't go back on our promise.

In the world of men and women, one must not lose face.
