I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

Hua Nianrou was slightly surprised when she heard Gu Tinglan say this, but then she understood and said, "Your brother is a bit impulsive, but he is also a gentleman."

Hua Nianrou was just not quite sure what Gu Tinglan meant by saying this in front of her. Could it be that she wanted to match her up with her brother?

It doesn't really look like it.

After thinking it over, Hua Nianrou decided to be direct: "Miss Gu, did you ask me to do something by saying this to you?"

Her directness left Gu Tinglan momentarily speechless.

Actually, her brother's situation was a minor matter. Everyone has worries and anxieties when they are young. He will grow up eventually. But Gu Tinglan realized that her situation was much more complicated.

In the morning, she suddenly had a premonition that a new tribulation was about to befall her.

Upon sensing again, he happened to see Lin Yi.

Gu Tinglan immediately realized that her calamity was about to befall Lin Yi.

For a moment, Gu Tinglan was filled with mixed feelings.

She didn't know who Lin Yi was, but judging from the little information she had, Lin Yi might also be a reincarnation of a Buddha, and he had also used forbidden techniques to enhance his strength.

This information comes from the conversation between Zen Master Dingguang and Lin Yi. However, Lin Yi also possesses a strong sense of righteousness, which is the basis for her master's ability to cooperate with Lin Yi.

Based on all of this, we can conclude that although Lin Yi may have killed countless people, he was still a good person.

From a human perspective, that is indeed the case.

But breaking a precept is breaking a precept, and it should be punished.

In other words, Lin Yi will become her enemy.

Now, her calamity has struck Lin Yi again, and upon closer inspection, it turns out to be a love tribulation, which makes Gu Tinglan unable to remain calm.

She wouldn't be afraid to fight Lin Yi even if it meant risking her life, but to talk about feelings with Lin Yi was just asking too much.

But since the calamity has come, there is no way to avoid it; we can only face it.

She had no choice but to think of a way to get through this emotional ordeal, which is why she started targeting Hua Nianrou.

But when it came time to speak, she didn't know how to express herself properly.

After hesitating for a long time, she finally spoke: "Miss Hua, to avoid any misunderstanding, how about I stay and accompany you when Young Master Yi treats you in the future?"

Hua Nianrou: "..."

Is this woman trying to cause trouble?

A dangerous glint was lurking in her eyes.

Women have a keen sixth sense. Although Hua Nianrou was just an ordinary person, she realized at this moment that Gu Tinglan's target seemed to be Lin Yi, not her.

So, she's trying to steal a man?

Although Lin Yi was not her man yet, Hua Nianrou still developed a possessive feeling towards him.

Considering Gu Tinglan's attentive care and the fact that she took her pulse, Hua Nianrou suppressed her displeasure and said, "I'd better ask him first, so he doesn't think we don't trust him. What do you think?"

"Alright."

The two had reached a temporary agreement, but from that moment on, cracks appeared in their fragile, superficial sisterhood.

On the other side, Lin Yi left the Green Bamboo Study and went to the military camp to select men, carrying Xiao Yue's token.

He was rather casual in his choice, because as long as it was a person who could understand the instructions, it would be fine.

It is absolutely unrealistic to expect one hundred men to manage the security of the entire city of Chang'an.

He would choose the remaining people from among prisoners of war and ordinary civilians.

There has always been a tradition of organizing local militias to surround villages. Even in cities, many people are aware of this, so mobilizing them is not difficult.

Soon, Lin Yi assembled a team of a thousand people, promising them only that they would have enough to eat.

After gathering his men, Lin Yi sent them to various parts of the city to spread the word that anyone who committed crimes, broke the law, or violated discipline would be severely punished.

In just one afternoon, they apprehended seventeen thieves, three robberies, and thirty-six individuals for disturbing public order.

These are the kinds of guys who, whenever they see a pretty girl, make advances towards her or whistle at her. Lin Yi would arrest them all if he encountered them.

The punishment was to publicly lash someone with a leather whip. For theft, the person would receive twenty lashes; for robbery, fifty lashes; and for disturbing public order, ten to one hundred lashes. This was to demonstrate to the public that they should abide by the law and that any lawbreakers, regardless of their identity, would be arrested.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and the atmosphere in Chang'an City became more orderly, with order being steadily restored in all aspects.

Faced with this situation, Huang Zhang and Tian Zhen could only stare helplessly.

Lin Yi is incredibly dedicated. Out of the twelve hours in a day, he only rests for two hours, spending the rest of the time leading his team on patrols.

In this situation, if they wanted to kidnap people on a large scale to perform a blood sacrifice, Lin Yi would definitely find out. Once they confronted Lin Yi, they would probably be turned into mincemeat by his iron fist.

Without a blood sacrifice, they have no chance to fight Lin Yi, but a blood sacrifice would be discovered by Lin Yi, and if discovered, they would die.

"Now we can only try to stall him. Sirius leaving Chang'an is our last chance."

With the general's arrival in the east, the defenses of Chang'an were actually very weak. Without the suppression of a large army, Chang'an was no longer under the protection of the Northern Wei's fortune. It can be said that, for a short period of time, this place was a paradise for cultivators.

"Our own strength may not be enough, but what if we can attract ten thousand demons to attack the city? Lin Yi will definitely be overwhelmed then."

Tian Zhen gave a good suggestion, which is also a common tactic of their Jingtian Sect.

Unaffiliated cults certainly cannot confront the righteous forces and official authorities head-on, but they have an advantage: the authorities are in the open, while they are in the shadows.

All they need to do is stir up chaos and distract the authorities, and their people can take advantage of the situation to strike. The Jingye Division of the Southern Dynasty and the Great Shaman of the Northern Dynasty have both suffered losses from this tactic.

Sometimes, even knowing their tricks, there's no way to deal with them.

With limited defensive capabilities, it's impossible to protect everyone; the only option is to run to wherever a problem arises.

Upon hearing this, Huang Zhang immediately felt that it was a very promising opportunity.

This is truly a rare opportunity. In the past, Chang'an City was protected by the Northern Dynasty's fortune, and ordinary demons could not disturb it. It was also guarded by an army. Now, Chang'an City has nothing but Lin Yi and a first-rank Confucian scholar.

"But there are few demons around Chang'an City, so where can we gather demons?"

"How about we start a Hundred Demons Parade?"

Tian Zhen's suggestion was quite bold, and Huang Zhang hesitated after hearing it.

The Night Parade of One Hundred Ghosts is the most precious treasure of the Pure Heaven Sect. It was previously controlled by the Earth Mother, but now it is jointly controlled by the two of them.

This treasure is difficult to rate because it has no power of its own; it is merely a scroll with a teleportation array engraved on it. Once opened, it is equivalent to opening a passage to the underworld, through which demons and monsters from the underworld can come to the human world.

However, these demons and monsters that came to the human world did not obey the orders of the painting's owner, but attacked anyone indiscriminately.

Most of the demons and monsters in the underworld have had their brains corrupted by the evil energy, and very few of them possess any sense of reason. Therefore, they will ferociously attack any living being they encounter, without any rationality whatsoever.

This powerful weapon is easy to use, but the problem lies in the difficulty of recycling it.

But in the current situation, they have no other choice but to use the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons.

“Let’s take a gamble. I’ve noticed that Yi Lin frequents the Green Bamboo Study. He’s probably having an affair with one of the girls there. Tonight at midnight, let’s start the Night Parade of a Hundred Ghosts outside the Green Bamboo Study and see if he comes to our rescue.”

If he comes to the rescue, he won't be able to save the people in this city.

The two whispered to each other, completely unaware that a large dog nearby had overheard their conversation.

This big dog is the Dragon Wolf King. As a wolf king, it is quite a humiliation for him to transform into a dog.

But in order to transform into a dragon, he did it anyway, disguising himself as a dog to blend into the city, where no one would pay much attention to him.

The celestial phenomenon of dragons and tigers converging in Chang'an City has not yet dissipated, indicating that this phenomenon represents not a single battle, but a continuous one.

So, the story isn't over until the main character appears.

Upon overhearing that the two were planning to deal with Lin Yi, the Dragon Wolf King was naturally overjoyed, for the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

Although the Dragon Wolf King had no intention of provoking Lin Yi, a powerful enemy, since Lin Yi was on Xiao Yue's side and affected his treasure-hunting, he naturally became an enemy.

He showed no mercy when facing the enemy.

However, he does not plan to reveal himself to the two Heavenly Eye Alliance members of the Pure Heaven Sect for the time being. He knows their plans, but they are unaware of his existence, which gives him more room to maneuver.

In terms of combat strength, Lin Yi is at most on par with him. If these two members of the Pure Heaven Sect can successfully perform the blood sacrifice, they can also be equivalent to first-grade combat strength, completely defeating Lu Yuanhua.

Furthermore, their blood sacrifice would inevitably affect the city's popularity. When Chang'an City becomes deserted, he would then use a secret technique to give the Dragon Wolf Grand Priest the strength of a first-rank master.

It's equivalent to four first-rank soldiers fighting against two first-rank soldiers; the advantage is on my side.

The Dragon Wolf King confidently went to find a place to hide, unaware that Lin Yi had seen his every move clearly and, through its perspective, witnessed Huang Zhang and Tian Zhen's conspiracy.

"Demon-Slaying Manual, YYDS!"

Since Lin Yi recorded the Dragon Wolf King's location in the genealogy, Lin Yi was able to observe his whereabouts and discovered that he had been in Chang'an City. Naturally, Lin Yi paid close attention to him.

You don't have to look at the fox spirit every day, but you have to keep an eye on the wolfhound.

What a coincidence! While the Dragon Wolf King was using a secret technique to eavesdrop on Huang Zhangtian and Zhen's conversation, Lin Yi was also secretly observing him.

It's a nesting doll.

When Lin Yi heard that the two old men and women planned to summon ten thousand demons to cause trouble, he almost burst out laughing.

Goodness, they're giving away freebies here!

Lin Yi was worried that the demons of Northern Wei were well hidden, and that he had sealed his spiritual essence in order to kill people, which made it even more difficult for him to search for demons. Unexpectedly, someone came to deliver a pillow when he was sleepy.

Unfortunately, the other party's final choice was the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons.

This is essentially giving Lin Yi a teleportation array that can infinitely spawn monsters. Is there really such a good thing?

However, knowing their plan, Lin Yi felt a little conflicted.

He should be grinding monsters here. Two demons need to be sacrificed. If he deals with these two first, he'll miss this great opportunity to improve his cultivation.

If he really had to choose, he would definitely make sure that no blood sacrifice would happen. Monsters can be respawned later, but if a person dies, they are truly dead.

However, adults don't want to make choices; they want it all!

If only he had a powerful ally...

Lin Yi's gaze fell upon the fox spirit listed on the Demon-Slaying Ranking...

Chapter 399 The Terrifying Fox Spirit

The fox spirit Yan Qingqiu is elusive and mysterious, and every time Lin Yi tries to spy on her, she is always on a high vantage point.

They're either watching the sunrise or the sunset.
