I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

To refute a definition, one must first define it.

Alternatively, one could use this definition, which the other party agrees with, to refute their words and actions.

Therefore, Zen Master Dingguang first asked Lin Yi about his understanding of good and evil.

"Doing good with good intentions is good, and doing evil without intentions is also evil. For good, we judge by intention, not by action; for evil, we judge by action, not by intention."

"What is doing good, and what is doing evil?"

"Doing good is helping others, doing evil is harming others."

"What if one acts with the intention of helping others but does things that harm them?"

Zen Master Dingguang had already mentally prepared Lin Yi's answer and his rebuttal. No matter what Lin Yi said, he could always find a logical flaw.

Good and evil are not so easy to distinguish.

Let's see how he shatters this kid's Dao heart under the spotlight.

However, Lin Yi was well aware of the intricacies involved.

He knew very well what was good and evil, but there was no law that could describe good and evil. He could only say that he should base his judgment on facts and analyze each specific problem in its own way.

He naturally saw through Zen Master Dingguang's sinister intentions, which made him even happier.

This shows that Zen Master Dingguang had no confidence in defeating him at all; otherwise, why would he have resorted to such methods?

As long as he persists, Zen Master Dingguang will surely retreat. Lin Yi refused to believe that the hundred-zhang-tall golden statue would suffer little damage.

Furthermore, the other party did not delve deeper into his story of slaying demons and improving his cultivation, but instead focused the debate on good and evil. Lin Yi understood that this was to set up a more ferocious attack, but he simply refused to fall for it!

"What I do is a good deed, I have no shame before Heaven, no shame before people, and no shame before my own heart. This is my goodness. Can you do the same, have a clear conscience before Heaven and Earth, and a clear conscience before your own heart?"

Lin Yi suddenly leaped up and slashed at the golden statue's calf.

It doesn't cause much harm, but it's somewhat insulting.

What broke Dingguang Zen Master's defenses was Lin Yi's answer: "I have a clear conscience." This left Dingguang Zen Master with no grounds to attack Lin Yi.

Right and wrong are all in Lin Yi's heart.

This might have been used to attack Lin Yi, but Lin Yi has already made the first move.

Moreover, with Lin Yi's shouts, his righteous aura became even more overwhelming. In this way, there was no need to argue about his good or evil; just looking at his righteous and awe-inspiring appearance was enough to inspire trust.

In comparison, Zen Master Dingguang's imposing presence was much less pronounced.

Because Lin Yi's words, though simple, touched his heart deeply.

Can he do something that shows he has a clear conscience?

Of course not.

It's not that he doesn't understand right and wrong, or that he doesn't understand what he's doing; it's that he knew he would be punished if his actions were exposed, yet he still did it.

He didn't feel guilty at all; he felt that mortals were just ants, and if you stepped on a group of ants, you were just stepping on a group of ants.

He was just feeling guilty, and feeling guilty naturally led to anger and embarrassment.

"My actions are none of your business!"

In a fit of rage, he threw a punch at Lin Yi. Lin Yi knew he couldn't take the punch, so he rolled away and dodged it with ease, repeatedly leaping to a safe position. Zen Master Dingguang simply stopped holding back and manipulated his golden body to smash things around.

The Rat Taoist was heartbroken to see the tunnel he had painstakingly dug being instantly filled in, while in the basement of the royal palace, the White Wolf High Priest looked at the Dragon Wolf High Priest covered in dust, hesitant to speak.

Brother, you've been lying low for far too long.

They didn't even try to stop the house from collapsing?

"Brother, shall we wait a bit longer?"

"We've waited until now, why not wait any longer?"

The Dragon Wolf High Priest gritted his teeth and said, "Even if the house collapses today, I won't go out. Even if you bury me alive, I still won't go out!"

Just then, a giant, golden foot stepped down, compacting the land solidly.

"Big brother, why don't you just stop talking later?"

In the pitch-black underground, the White Wolf High Priest looked at the slightly disheveled Dragon Wolf High Priest and spoke weakly.

"Shut up too!"

The White Wolf Grand Priest and the Dragon Wolf Grand Priest might not believe it, but Lin Yi deliberately ran over there. He had already seen the four pillars of fortune there, but those pillars hadn't moved at all.

They neither left nor went closer to watch the spectacle.

Moreover, the fact that four Rank 1 individuals are clustered together suggests they are likely a group, or even possibly the same group as the individual who just revealed their aura.

Since that was the case, Lin Yi had a wicked idea. He deliberately lured Zen Master Dingguang to attack in that direction, and when Zen Master Dingguang kicked down, he covered that area.

While the White Wolf High Priest and the Dragon Wolf High Priest could tolerate such humiliation as being buried alive, the White Wolf High Priest's white wolf could not bear it.

As the noble White Wolf King, it also had its own pride. It had been displeased with Zen Master Dingguang for a long time, but it had been kept in check by the White Wolf High Priest and had not made a move.

Now that we're being trampled on, this is intolerable!

Immediately, he let out a howl, dug through the soil that Zen Master Dingguang had stomped on, rushed out, and bit Zen Master Dingguang's heel.

Lin Yi was also surprised by the scene. Such a big white husky?

[White Wolf King: A totem beast worshipped by the Xianbei White Wolf tribe. It gains the power of a demon king through the offerings made to it, and killing it grants three thousand years of cultivation.]

[Merits and Demerits: A Legacy of Fame – Protecting the Peace of the Region]

[Special Skill: Bite - A natural ability of the White Wolf Totem, capable of biting through an enemy's defenses and inflicting wounds that are difficult to heal.]

Spiritual Offering – When combined with the High Priest, it can unleash even greater combat power.

[Weakness: Unable to take human form; will lose the power of the Demon King after leaving the country]

Upon reading the description of the White Wolf King, Lin Yi felt as if a new world had opened up for him.

This White Wolf King himself did not have the strength of a demon king, but because there was a White Wolf tribe in Northern Wei, the tribe worshipped the White Wolf King as a totem beast, which enabled him to become a demon king.

If we expand our thinking a bit, did all those gods and Buddhas not exist in the first place, but because someone regarded them as gods and Buddhas, they gained the power of gods and Buddhas?

Recalling the method previously used by Lord Dongting, who had people worship him in the Dongting Lake area, it was probably based on the same principle.

If that's the case, then it makes sense that some of the gods and Buddhas in the heavens possess power through worship.

Of course, by analogy, if there are demon kings who have cultivated themselves in the human world, then there must also be immortals and Buddhas in the world of immortals and Buddhas.

This was just Lin Yi's speculation, but he felt that he had a high probability of being right.

Zen Master Dingguang never expected that he would be bitten by a wolf one day. His golden body was indestructible, and Lin Yi's demon-slaying sword only produced a few sparks when it struck him.

Although the White Wolf King possesses the innate ability to break through defenses and is usually invincible, he has truly met his match today.

That crunchy sound almost broke my canine tooth.

Zen Master Dingguang was already angry, and now he's been bitten. It's embarrassing even if it doesn't hurt!

In a fit of anger, he shouted, "Get out!"

As he spoke, he kicked out suddenly. If the kick had landed, the White Wolf King would have been dead on the spot.

Despite being a totem beast, it couldn't even last a single exchange against a powerful figure like Zen Master Dingguang.

In the moment of crisis, the White Wolf High Priest finally made his move.

He could endure anything, except watching his own totem beast be killed.

"blast!"

This is a call, and also a decree; the power of the totem beast can only be better utilized in the hands of the high priest.

In the blink of an eye, the White Wolf King transformed into a gust of wind and appeared beside the White Wolf High Priest.

With the White Wolf Priest now on the scene, the Dragon Wolf Priest can no longer hide.

He had no choice but to stand up with his totem beast.

Unlike the other high priests, his dragon-wolf possessed dragon energy, making it a more prestigious creature, and therefore he could not ride his own dragon-wolf.

That doesn't matter, because thanks to the dragon wolf, his strength is the strongest among all the high priests.

He wasn't the only one among the eight high priests who focused on totem beasts as his primary focus and used high priests as secondary roles.

The same applies to the Great Sacrifice of the Black Eagle and the Great Sacrifice of the Serpent.

Of course, the snakes in the snake-taming ritual can be ridden, cough cough...

Getting back to the main point, even after seeing another person and a wolf appear on the battlefield, Zen Master Dingguang remained completely calm.

With his cultivation level, he didn't care about the number of people; whether there were three or seven, it was still a fight.

But with more and more enemies, he could no longer hold back. Lin Yi had to die today, and he was willing to pay a price rather than let Lin Yi go.

Lin Yi was stunned as he watched the Dragon Wolf Grand Priest and his dragon wolves emerge.

He already knew there were four experts of rank one or higher here, so the configuration of two people and two wolves wasn't surprising.

What shocked him was the wolf at the Dragon Wolf Sacrifice.

This wolf was indeed handsome and majestic. Its fur was fiery red, and Lin Yi had never seen such a red wolf before.

Moreover, it has a single horn on its head, which makes it look even more heroic, which makes Lin Yi happy and wish he could catch it and make it his mount.

[Dragon Wolf King: The totem of the Dragon Wolf tribe, who usurped the position of the Dragon in the Chinese zodiac. Killing him will grant the complete absorption of 8,999 years of cultivation and 100,000 strands of dragon energy.]

This single line of text sent a jolt through Lin Yi’s heart.

According to the theory of achieving immortality through nine tribulations, this wolf is only one year away from becoming an immortal.

Lin Yi pondered that the Dragon Wolf King probably wasn't lacking in cultivation, but rather in the ability to undergo tribulation.

It's worth mentioning that although the White Wolf King possesses the power of a demon king, it was placed on the Monster List in the Demon Extermination Manual.

However, this dragon wolf was placed on the Demon Ranking.

In other words, the long-vacant number one spot on the demon ranking might actually belong to him.

Lin Yi felt a sense of accomplishment from successfully collecting the cards. However, when he flipped to the catalog, he saw the name of the Dragon Wolf King at number four on the Demon Ranking.

He's just one step away from becoming an immortal, yet he's still only in fourth place.

Wow, have the top three on the demon list already become immortals?
