I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

In a daze, the Rat Taoist seemed to see a real dragon flying into the sky.

This must be a treasure related to a real dragon!

Rat Daoist was heartbroken. The treasure was right in front of him, and he had dug it out after a lot of effort. But the thing actually grew wings and flew away on its own!

Damn it!

At this moment, Tuoba Yu excitedly ran over. Since he was in soul form, it was easier for him to find things. While the Rat Taoist was focused on digging, he also searched around and actually found his city lord's seal.

The city lord's seal was broken, but the cloth engraved with the mysterious diagrams was still intact.

"Master, I have found the item."

Rat Taoist: "..."

"Master, why are you unhappy?"

Rat Taoist: "..."

He might be happy if he didn't see the treasure, since it wasn't originally in the plan, but he was so close to getting it, just a little bit short!

The treasure was clearly out of his reach, yet he dug dozens of meters deep, essentially working for free.

How could he not be angry?

Fortunately, there was also a catalog of the twelve zodiac animals. The Rat Taoist examined it and found that it was indeed genuine, which relieved him.

Well, with this, things are pretty much settled.

"You did a great job. What reward would you like?"

The Rat Taoist tried his best to look kind and benevolent at Tuoba Yu. Even though he was still ugly, Tuoba Yu still endured the disgust and said, "I want the method to achieve immortality."

Rat Taoist: "..."

This person is really young.

He originally intended to give him something casually to get rid of the matter, but he didn't expect Tuoba Yu to be so greedy.

There are many ways to achieve longevity in this world, and even the art of immortality exists, but how could such a precious method be easily passed on?

Besides, even the Rat Taoist himself doesn't know the art of immortality, so how could he possibly teach Tuoba Yu?

But he still readily agreed, saying, "I agree, but this method can only be taught after I return to my sect."

"When are we going back?"

Tuoba Yu was extremely anxious. He had no idea that in the eyes of the Rat Taoist, he was already a dead man. He was still fantasizing about how he would return to Lin Yi to take revenge after he cultivated the method of immortality!

"After this matter is settled, I have just unearthed a secret treasure. That treasure is now connected to me by karma. Whoever gets it must share some of the benefits with me."

"I'm going to find that treasure. You'll stay in the gourd for a while!"

"OK then!"

Although Tuoba Yu was unwilling, he had no choice but to obey.

He saw the Rat Taoist take out a green bottle, and without thinking, he crawled inside.

But as soon as he went inside, he immediately sensed something was wrong.

The original jade gourd was meant to nourish the soul, but now, as soon as he entered the gourd, he felt as if his entire body was on fire.

"Master, what's going on?"

"Don't worry, my disciple. This is because I have activated the soul-refining power of the gourd. If you stay inside for a while, your soul will become more stable. This soul-refining power consumes a lot of my magic power, so don't let my good intentions go to waste."

"I see, thank you, Master."

Although it's very painful, I can still hold on for now.

Rat Taoist sneered inwardly, "How has this fool been a prince for so long without being killed?"

He did indeed activate the power of soul refining, but this is now a completely different gourd.

This gourd doesn't nourish the soul, it's only for refining it.

After putting away the gourd and the treasure record, the Rat Taoist soared into the sky and chased after the direction in which the scales had flown away.

He wanted to see who dared to steal his treasure!

He'll definitely have to go and steal something then!

These blue scales are naturally dragon scales, and also water-attribute scales. As if it had the ability of precision guidance, it quickly locked onto Xiao Se's location and flew rapidly towards it.

At this moment, Xiao Se had four scales shining on her body, representing the four powers of wind, thunder, fire, and earth. She could feel the abundant moisture outside and also faintly sense the power of these dragon scales.

This is a water dragon scale, and this is probably the last dragon scale.

When the water dragon scales arrived, Xiao Se felt something in his heart.

However, just as she was preparing to welcome the arrival of this dragon scale, the falling dragon scale seemed to be restrained by some force and suddenly stopped moving in the sky.

At the same time, a dignified middle-aged man stepped out through the rain.

He bent one hand into a claw shape, as if grasping at a piece of water dragon scale in mid-air.

This man was none other than the Dragon Wolf King.

After the dragon scales flew into the sky, he felt the abundant dragon energy.

The baby has appeared!

Immediately, the Dragon Wolf King abandoned all hiding and transformed into human form, chasing after the dragon scales.

It was at this moment that he revealed his true strength. Even dragon scales could not escape his pursuit, and were even bound by the Dragon Wolf King just before landing.

The Dragon Wolf King originally thought there was only one dragon scale, but he didn't expect that Xiao Se had four more.

"So, my opponent was you all along!"

The Dragon Wolf King looked at the four sparse dragon scales, his eyes filled with greed and excitement.

To be honest, he was all prepared to fight Lin Yi, but he never expected that his opponent would be such a young girl.

Isn't this tantamount to giving her a treasure?

"Hahaha, it seems it is truly the will of Heaven. Little girl, thank you for bringing me this treasure. My chance to transform into a dragon begins today!"

From a wolf to a dragon, what an inspiring story!

The Dragon Wolf King had already figured out how to spread his deeds throughout the world. By then, he would be known to everyone and would no longer need to keep a low profile. He could be as flamboyant as he wanted.

Because he is a dragon!

Xiao Se felt a great sense of crisis when he saw the Dragon Wolf King appear.

However, Xiao Se was not afraid.

She knew that this must be a test from heaven for her.

Her opponent was indeed very strong, but she had no choice but to fight.

With a thought, nine golden talismans appeared around Xiao Se, completely surrounding her.

The four dragon scales also disappeared into her forehead, hands, and left foot.

The Dragon Wolf King was also startled when he saw the runes appearing beside Xiao Se.

He wouldn't be afraid if the opponent was just a first-grade cultivator, but the nine golden talismans were a different story.

It seems the other party has quite a background.

Originally intending to seize all of the opponent's dragon scales in one go, the Dragon Wolf King now felt more wary.

"Young friend, it turns out you are no ordinary person. In that case, I won't take your treasure. But I saw this dragon scale first, so it belongs to me. How about that?"

The Dragon Wolf King had a well-thought-out plan. He wanted to obtain the Water Dragon Scale first so that he could transform into a dragon. Even if he didn't transform into a dragon, his strength would increase significantly. Then he could seize Xiao Se's treasure, which would be a much safer option.

But Xiao Se was no naive girl. She sneered and mocked, "Since you possess dragon energy and aspire to become a dragon, you should know that dragons are noble and holy spirits, while you are full of filth. So what if you have dragon energy?"

"Even if I gave you five dragon scales, let alone just one, you still couldn't transform into a dragon. If you had attacked me directly, I would have respected you more. But now it seems you are no match for me. Step aside!"

To be honest, Xiao Se spoke with great force, and as she said these words, the dragon scales around her shone even brighter.

Meanwhile, the Water Dragon Scales, under the control of the Dragon Wolf King, struggled even more violently.

Four dragon scales are extremely attractive to a single dragon scale.

Moreover, Xiao Se's noble character makes him even more appealing to Long Lin.

The Dragon Wolf King sensed the struggle of the Water Dragon Scales and was further mocked by Xiao Se, leaving him both worried and angry.

To be fair, his momentum did weaken a bit because of those words, but he couldn't back down.

A hint of ferocity gradually surfaced in the Dragon Wolf King's eyes. He stared intently at Xiao Se and said coldly, "Since you're courting death, I'll grant your wish! Awooo!"

A wolf's howl echoed throughout Chang'an.

Panic gripped every household in Chang'an.

Wolf?

How could wolves have broken into the city?

Lu Yuanhua didn't know if the wolf howl was within Lin Yi's expectations, but regardless, as the chief executive, he needed to take appropriate action.

Moreover, Lin Yi had temporarily handed over the military seals to him, and now he was the highest military and political official in Chang'an City, so he naturally had to be responsible for Chang'an City.

"Send the order to mobilize the troops in the city and protect the people in the city."

"Strategist, we don't have enough manpower."

The guards at each city gate cannot be redeployed. Chang'an is a large city, and the thousand men that Lin Yi pulled out simply cannot manage it.

Lu Yuanhua was aware of this as well, and immediately set off, saying, "Go to the prisoner-of-war camp and ask for help!"

"This……"

It has to be said, this is extremely risky.

There are 80,000 prisoners of war in Chang'an, but Xiao Yue's troops, including Lin Yi's 1,000 security forces and the 5,000 guards, total less than 10,000.

It could be said that the POW camps were more powerful than the official ones.

But this step was also part of Xiao Yue's plan. Her first step was to give the prisoners of war benefits so that they would work in peace. But if she only gave them benefits, they would eventually leave.

To keep them, you need to give them a sense of belonging and make the prisoners of war feel that they are all one of your own.
