I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

Lin Yi smiled optimistically and touched his slightly cool head.

The dark cloud then looked up, and its cat-like face suddenly became quite comical.

It was at this moment that Lin Yi realized that cats could also suppress their laughter.

"Laugh if you want, I don't mind."

He's just bald; his handsomeness doesn't need hair to enhance it.

"Let me blow on it for you!"

The dark clouds kindly breathed a sigh of relief on Lin Yi, and a gust of wind blew, carrying away the dirt and dust on Lin Yi's body.

Looking at it this way, Lin Yi, with his bald head and wearing a moon-white long robe, actually looks even better.

Dark clouds jumped onto Lin Yi's head and coiled up, making it look from a distance as if Lin Yi had not lost his hair.

"The master doesn't know what's going on either. He clearly sensed that she had arrived in Chang'an, but she hasn't appeared for so long. It's really strange."

Wu Yun felt that Xiao Se's current state was quite normal, and she would be able to sense if there was any danger.

But the fact that Xiao Se hasn't appeared even after such a long battle is quite suspicious.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yi immediately said, "The battle here is over, let's go find her!"

Lin Yi initially only wanted to kill Tuoba Yu, but he never expected that he would destroy almost the entire city of Chang'an.

Having caused such a commotion, Lin Yi didn't want to stay here any longer.

As for the third-party forces that appeared earlier, Lin Yi did not want to deal with them for the time being.

The White Wolf King was a demon who was worshipped and possessed the power of a demon king. Judging from his merits, it is clear that he was protecting the people of the region, which is why he is remembered for generations.

It's likely that even after the White Wolf King dies, that tribe will continue the tradition of worshipping him.

Even though they have different stances, Lin Yi has no reason to kill the White Wolf King now.

As for the sinful Dragon Wolf King, Lin Yi is not yet absolutely confident that he can kill it, so there is no need to fight it to the death right now. It is not too late to fight this elite boss when his cultivation level is higher in the future.

Since Xiao Se might be in trouble, Lin Yi naturally prioritized dealing with Xiao Se's affairs.

"Speaking of which, it's been a while since we last saw each other, and I really miss her."

Lin Yi casually jumped out of the pit and said to Wu Yun.

"Then hug her when you see her. I promise I won't stop you this time."

"What you're saying is, if you don't stop me, then I can't hug you!"

Lin Yi suddenly remembered the scenery he had inadvertently seen on the island, and some wicked thoughts arose in his mind.

He didn't know Xiao Se was a girl before, so he was more casual with her. Now that he knows, he has to be more careful.

"What's wrong with that? I hug her every time I see her. We barely escaped from the underworld this time, and we've been through so much. Are you sure you don't want to hug her?"

Wu Yun started to egg Lin Yi on, after all, she had previously used the Lianlizhi (a type of tree) to play a cruel trick on Xiao Se, but after playing the trick, Wu Yun felt that she had lost her mind.

If Lin Yi doesn't hug Xiao Se, Xiao Se will definitely guess right away that it was her doing. If she tries to trick Xiao Se with the "conjoined branches" trick again, she probably won't believe it anymore.

Lin Yi was somewhat tempted by Wu Yun's persuasion.

Taking advantage of the moment, Wuyun whispered in his ear, "I'll let you in on a little secret: if you just touch your master's ears, she'll have an incredibly cute reaction!"

Lin Yi: "..."

A cute reaction?

What is it?

Lin Yi was very curious.

But he imagined himself holding Xiao Se and secretly touching her ear...

No, this won't do!

Lin Yi said with a righteous and stern expression, "A hug is fine, but touching your ears is too rude."

"Alright then!"

Dark Cloud seemed somewhat disappointed. She lazily lay on Lin Yi's head, but secretly she was still resentful.

Lin Yi, however, looked at the ruins of Chang'an and gradually lost interest in chatting.

He came to Chang'an with the intention of killing Tuoba Yu, but unexpectedly killed Zen Master Dingguang as well, and destroyed Chang'an in this state.

He did not intentionally massacre civilians, but the number of civilians who died in this battle was definitely not small.

This was also the first time Lin Yi had witnessed a transcendent being openly persecuting mortals. Lin Yi had once been grateful that under the Heavenly Dao, there were rules protecting mortals, making even powerful cultivators and demon kings wary.

Today, after meeting Zen Master Dingguang, I realized that the rules of the Heavenly Way are not absolute.

If you are powerful enough, you can completely ignore it.

So what if we kill?

What's wrong with taking action in a bustling city like Chang'an?

Of course, the fate of Zen Master Dingguang also served as a warning to Lin Yi: as a monk, one should not be too arrogant.

Those who commit many evil deeds will surely perish. His death at Lin Yi's hands was perhaps an arrangement of fate.

At this moment, Lin Yi was reflecting deeply, while the others in the city were still busy.

Gu Tinglan gathered a large group of Han people, including their families, under the pretext that the Han army had arrived outside the city. Thanks to her, many people were spared from the aftermath of the battle.

However, the area covered by the Ten Thousand Buddhas Paying Homage was too large, affecting everyone in Chang'an. As a result, the people she led were drained of their energy and spirit, becoming listless and unable to move again.

Gu Tinglan was unaware of the outcome of the battle and dared not reveal her supernatural powers for the time being. She could only pretend that she was also someone whose life force had been drained and hide among the crowd.

Shortly after the battle ended, she heard a series of orderly footsteps rushing towards her.

Gu Tinglan immediately sensed something was wrong. The only thing capable of causing such a commotion in Chang'an could be the army, and the army was naturally the garrison commander of Chang'an.

It's just a mystery why this unit is still able to maintain its morale. The people she's leading have lost all fighting spirit, and they're probably in grave danger now.

Just as Gu Tinglan was racking her brains for a solution, she heard someone shouting.

"Princess Tianxuan, in accordance with Heaven's will, punish the traitors; those who surrender will not be killed!"

Those who surrender will not be killed!

Princess Tianxuan?

How did she end up here?

Gu Tinglan had heard of Princess Tianxuan's reputation. She was naturally aware that Xiao Yue had caused trouble in Hanzhong County and issued a proclamation to the world.

She and her master came to Chang'an to wait for Xiao Yue.

In other words, they were waiting for news from Xiao Yue.

Neither she nor her master expected Xiao Yue to appear in Chang'an at this time.

It's too ridiculous.

It hasn't even been half a month since the incident in Hanzhong. It would take Xiao Yueguang ten days to walk to Chang'an, right?

According to her and Lu Yuanhua's plan, Xiao Yue's situation would definitely be very difficult once she arrived in the Northern Border. If Xiao Yue had some ability, she should be able to find the only correct path after many twists and turns, which is to conquer Chang'an.

Only by taking this route can Xiao Yue have a chance to return to the south; otherwise, she will always remain a lone army, a band of outlaws.

However, they guessed the outcome correctly, but they didn't expect the process.

That's outrageous! After Xiao Yue arrived in the Northern Wei territory, she fought one battle after another, and not a single one went wrong.

Rumor has it that the grassland people are incredibly powerful and brave, yet no city has ever lasted more than a day in Xiao Yue's hands.

The generals defending the Northern Wei were either derelict in their duties, passively resisted the attack, or were too timid to surrender as soon as Xiao Yue's army arrived, given his imposing presence.

In this way, Xiao Yue conquered Qin and Liang provinces in a very short time, becoming virtually invincible.

The soldiers grew stronger and more motivated as they grew, and the more they fought, the larger the army became. Xiao Yue even had to divide the army because it was too large to control.

The Northern Wei court was unaware that Xiao Yue had already gained such influence; no one knew that Xiao Yue was coming to attack Chang'an.

In short, at this moment, Xiao Yue was like the protagonist in a storybook, her powerful aura making the enemies seem like idiots and useless. In comparison, her troops were invincible.

Upon hearing the name of Princess Tianxuan, Gu Tinglan's heart stirred. She hid in the crowd and began to observe secretly.

Now that her master has decided to take up an official post, she needs to observe this princess carefully to see what she is like.

Before long, a large wave of people surged in like a tide. The Han people lying on the ground all looked terrified, but were powerless to resist.

Just as the tide was about to engulf everyone, the army suddenly stopped. Then, the tide parted, and a dashing and handsome general emerged.

"Judging from your appearance, you all seem to be Han Chinese?"

The moment the general spoke, it was astonishing; it was clearly a woman's voice, solemn yet gentle.

This is Xiao Yue, who led the team.

After Xiao Yue performed the Ten Thousand Buddhas Paying Homage spell, the team's morale not only did not decline, but instead became even stronger.

In contrast, the 100,000 soldiers in Chang'an City, lacking a leader, naturally had no spirit of war and were easily drained of their energy, collapsing to the ground.

That's why they say when someone is lucky, the whole world seems to be helping them.

Given Xiao Yue's power, it was already a miracle that she was able to reach Chang'an. If she were to successfully take over Chang'an, others would only find it outrageous.

Even traditional storytelling wouldn't dare to write something like this, yet Xiao Yue actually did it.

With her keen judgment, indomitable spirit, and enterprising will, plus a bit of luck, she stormed into Chang'an and successfully captured 80,000 people.

That's right, 30,000 men captured 80,000, and suffered less than 100 casualties.

It felt like she hadn't conquered Chang'an, but rather found it by chance.

Leaving 5,000 men to gather the prisoners, Xiao Yue decided to personally lead the troops to the city center to cause trouble for the evil monk.

She herself felt that as she let out that shout, some kind of power seemed to awaken within her, and she and her subordinates were different in spirit and energy.

Even so, it was unwise to provoke the evil monk, but after careful consideration, Xiao Yue felt that she still couldn't let it go unchecked.

Now that Chang'an is her territory, she wants to acquire enough wealth and prestige there.

If the evil monk were to destroy Chang'an, her strategic objective for this trip would be impossible to achieve.

It just so happens that the evil monk still has enemies. If she doesn't help these enemies get rid of the evil monk, how can she secure her position in Chang'an?
