I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

"you you!"

Unable to speak in the end, he died of anger.

Seeing that the two men were lifeless, Lin Yi casually swung his sword twice and cut off their heads.

This is just to be on the safe side, in case the two people are killed in the accident.

It's good enough that they weren't burned to ashes.

Wang Wei watched Lin Yi's skillful operation, wanting to say something but holding back.

I feel like I've met a big shot, but something feels off.

"Fellow Daoist, we're in for a busy night."

Liu Mao just gave us so much information, we have to verify it all.

Those who deserve to be killed should be killed, and those who deserve to be warned should be warned. Since we have already taken action, we cannot let them get away with it.

In fact, Lin Yi could have just killed them according to the list, but killing people is different from killing demons. Killing demons involves crimes recognized by the Demon Subduing Manual, and the facts of the crime are clear.

But people are different.

Without the power of cheating, there is a possibility of wrongful convictions. Lin Yi now has the power to decide life and death, so he naturally has to be more careful and cautious when using this power to avoid killing the wrong person.

This whole ordeal took up an entire night; honestly, it would have been better not to have investigated at all.

Although some of the people Liu Mao reported were indeed exaggerating, none of them were innocent and deserved to die.

That night, Lin Yi slaughtered countless people, leaving Wang Wei trembling with fear.

He truly couldn't understand Lin Yi anymore. Sometimes he felt that Lin Yi was as benevolent as a Buddha, and other times he felt that Lin Yi was as cruel as a demon.

He killed over a hundred people in one night without even blinking.

Not content with killing people, he also collected their heads and corpses and hung them on the city wall.

Those that couldn't be hung up were piled up under the city gate. When the soldiers of the county town came to stop them, they were beaten down. The people in the town, seeing this tragic scene, dared not come over, not even to watch from a distance.

Wang Wei began to doubt his own identity.

Assassination should be done quietly, right?

But you single-handedly took down an entire city, so blatantly. Isn't that a bit too much?

No one in Qingshui County could stop Lin Yi anymore. However, when someone went to report the news from afar, Lin Yi did not stop them.

What happened here always needs to be cleaned up by someone.

"Fellow Daoist, shouldn't we be leaving now?"

The defenses of Qingshui County are indeed weak, but there are still troops stationed in the nearby counties. When the news spread, the two of them, who are currently without cultivation, could not withstand a massive army.

Lin Yi remained calm and said, "No rush. Since we've done this, we can't just kill someone and call it a day."

We kill not only as punishment, but also as a warning, so I think we should erect a monument.

Wang Wei: "..."

You can't be unaware of the magnitude of your mistake, can you?

Almost all the wealthy and powerful people in Qingshui County were wiped out; their heads rolled around, either hanging on the walls or piled up on the ground.

Such a brutal incident will surely elicit a strong reaction from the neighboring county, and even the governor of Qin Prefecture will likely inquire about the situation here.

If you don't leave now, you won't be able to escape when people come.

Seeing Lin Yi's confidence and composure, Wang Wei didn't want to appear too cowardly, so he tried to subtly suggest, "We don't have anywhere to find such a large rock right now, do we?"

Since we can't find it, let's just leave for now!

"It's alright, there are city walls here!"

Reminded by Wang Wei, Lin Yi suddenly opened his sleeve and pulled out a black cat.

Wang Wei: "???"

Do you always carry a cat with you?

This cat is naturally the dark cloud.

After a period of training, she has become proficient in switching between the two forms. She prefers to be a cat rather than a human.

Lin Yi's sleeves happened to be wide, so she slept hidden inside them.

As the saying goes, "Raise a cat for a thousand days, use it for one." Lin Yi had heard that the art of carving dark clouds was very powerful, and now it came in handy.

"Little cloud, I'll read it, you write it down, and then we'll run away quickly."

dark clouds:"……"

Is there a world where cats don't need to work?

Lin Yi stared at her expectantly, and Wu Yun couldn't refuse. She secretly made up her mind that she would use the Lianlizhi (a type of tree) to trick Lin Yi as revenge.

Seeing that she agreed, Lin Yi immediately read aloud: "It is hereby stated that Liu Mao, the magistrate of Qingshui County, Liu Mao's third son Liu Ye, Jiang Lang, the assistant magistrate of Qingshui County, and other court officials have abused their positions to form cliques for personal gain, abused their power, and repeatedly robbed the people of their property under the guise of taxation, oppressed women and children, and harmed the innocent."

In addition, there were more than a hundred violent thugs who fawned on their superiors and bullied their subordinates, colluded with corrupt officials, seized land, and forced women into prostitution.

These actions have severely infringed upon the basic rights and interests of the people of Qingshui County and seriously endangered their lives and property. Such heinous crimes warrant execution to appease public anger.

His entire gang has now been beheaded and their heads displayed to the public as a warning to the world.

Anyone who commits crimes or oppresses the good shall be executed without mercy.

The killer was from the Green Gang…

"Brother Wang, how about we come up with a cool nickname?"

Wang Wei: "..."

I've never seen anyone so arrogant since I started out.

But this is actually pretty cool!

To be honest, Wang Wei was also a bit carried away. Although he felt that Lin Yi's actions were too arrogant, he couldn't help but get excited as he watched Lin Yi use the black cat to carve words on the wall and thought that he would also leave his name.

As for nicknames...

"Let's call him the Heartless Swordsman!"

Wang Wei thought the title was cool.

Wouldn't being heartless seem cold-hearted?

Although he wasn't a cold person, he thought this kind of person was cool.

Lin Yi: "..."

The nickname the old man gave him was indeed rustic.

He needs to choose something different.

"Then I'll call myself the Killing Taoist!"

dark clouds:"……"

Those two are so incredibly childish.

But she was just a cat and too lazy to complain about it. She casually scribbled a few lines, added their names, and then jumped into Lin Yi's arms.

It exhausted her; I wish she had never learned to write in the first place.

This is what they mean by "with great power comes great responsibility."

Lin Yi patted her back to soothe her, saying, "You've had a hard day. I'll catch a couple of ghosts for you to eat later."

Dark Cloud rolled its eyes, then slipped back into Lin Yi's sleeve, pulled out a pair of intertwined branches, and carved on them: "Green are your robes, deep is my longing. Though I do not go to you, will you not send me a message?"

Although such an operation would also cause trouble for Xiao Se.

But Xiao Se probably doesn't care, humph!

If you offend this cat, you'll regret it!

Lin Yi hadn't been on guard against the dark clouds, and now it was indeed time to put his yo-yo on the wall. Seeing that the writing on the wall was deep and the characters were large enough that it wouldn't be easily damaged, he left with peace of mind.

To remove those words, you'd have to tear down the entire wall.

It didn't matter if the Northern Wei court wanted to tear down the wall; by then, those who were meant to see it would have already seen it. The words on the wall were easy to erase, but the words in one's heart were not so easy to erase.

Lin Yi and Wang Wei ran along the official road for a while, and then Lin Yi heard the sound of horses' hooves in the distance. Obviously, this was reinforcements from other counties.

Lin Yi could indeed defeat the entire army single-handedly, but there's no need for that.

He pulled Wang Wei to hide in a grove of trees beside the official road, patiently waiting for reinforcements to pass by.

"Now the Green and Red Gang will be even more famous."

Lin Yi had Wang Wei's permission to write the name of the Green and Red Gang on the wall, which was a good thing for the Green and Red Gang. Since they were already openly opposing the imperial court, they were naturally not afraid to make their influence even greater.

Although the imperial court will take stronger measures against the Green and Red Gang, more ambitious people will also join the Green and Red Gang.

"However, you must be careful of undercover agents."

Lin Yi added a reminder: he had watched too many police and gangster movies, and the loosely organized gang like the Green Gang was incredibly easy for someone with ulterior motives to infiltrate.

Undercover agents are masters of acting; it's too difficult to spot them just by looking at them.

A man like Lin Yi, who has cheat codes, can see through all demons and monsters, but he can't see through people's hearts, let alone those who don't have cheat codes.

"Fellow Daoist, there is no need to worry. Our Green and Red Gang usually does not hold large-scale gatherings. Members only occasionally contact each other using secret codes, and most of the time they act alone."

Seeing his optimism, Lin Yi couldn't help but shake his head. After all, he was a cultivator. Although he had a warm heart and cared about the suffering of ordinary people, he still didn't understand the importance of intelligence work and the importance of a tight organizational structure.

Such an organization is destined to only engage in small-scale operations and will never amount to anything.

"Brother Wang, don't be too optimistic. Let's assume I'm an undercover agent, deliberately setting up a scheme to gain your trust, and then using you to get to know the other members of the Green and Red Gang and gain their trust as well."

Once the big fish are all hooked, we'll catch them all in one fell swoop. At that point, you might not even know who betrayed you.

Wang Wei: "..."

That seems a little scary!

Wang Wei looked at Lin Yi suspiciously. To be honest, he had always called Lin Yi "fellow Daoist" and didn't even know Lin Yi's name yet, but he regarded Lin Yi as a trustworthy person.
