I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

However, Lin Yi remained calm.

He didn't care how strong the other party was; the fact that Su Xian'er was able to escape meant that the other party's strength was only limited.

Looking again at Su Xian'er's location, it didn't seem very safe.

Since she was injured, she couldn't have run very far; she was still quite a distance from Luoyang.

Lin Yi made his decision; he would go in both directions.

Su Xian'er at least once expressed her willingness to help Xiao Se.

Xiao Se is now all alone and has not even had the dragon scales taken away by Yan Qingqiu, so Lin Yi has to help her in secret.

The best way is to protect the guardians around her.

Meanwhile, Su Xian'er was being chased by Zhang Chengye, fighting and running all the way, and was already exhausted both physically and mentally.

Zhang Chengye continued muttering from behind, "You don't need to run anymore. Even if you run to the ends of the earth, no one will be able to save you. And those who are capable of saving you are too lazy to bother."

This was meant to demoralize Su Xian'er, but Su Xian'er remained unfazed. If the opponent truly had an absolute chance of victory, why waste words with her?

Therefore, the more Zhang Chengye talks, the more it shows his lack of confidence.

If that's the case, what is she afraid of?

If it weren't for the unknown deity standing behind the other party, she would have retaliated long ago!

Chapter 417 The Fox Demon Encounters Danger

Seeing Su Xian'er fleeing for her life, Lin Yi did not stand idly by.

Su Xian'er is a friend, not an enemy. Not to mention that she knows the secret about the Twelve Golden Men, as an allied unit, Lin Yi cannot sit idly by when he sees the other side being attacked.

After checking the demon-slaying manual to see the other party's location, he began to run towards her.

This is what you call a two-way journey.

Meanwhile, Qianhuan Guiji was still on guard against Lin Yi chasing after her. She had been running for a long time but had not found any trace of Lin Yi. Suddenly, Lingyi realized something.

"Is this guy playing a trick on us?"

Once he understood this, Zero felt a pang of regret.

She turned back to the place where she had parted ways with Lin Yi, and sure enough, Lin Yi was nowhere to be seen.

"hateful!"

Lingyi couldn't swallow her anger. If Lin Yi chased after her, she would do her best to escape. But Lin Yi's attitude of ignoring her made her very unhappy.

I'll make you pay!

Regardless of what tricks Zero One is up to, Su Xian'er on the other side is indeed in grave danger.

She rode the wind northwards, and Zhang Chengye simply followed closely behind, never attempting to capture her.

Su Xian'er sensed something was wrong. Sure enough, just after leaving the Southern Dynasty and entering Yuzhou in the Northern Wei territory, less than a thousand miles from Luoyang, a column of water suddenly shot into the sky on the Ying River, trapping her in the center.

The enemy had indeed laid an ambush.

Su Xian'er was quite careful along the way, constantly changing her direction as she ran, but the other party still managed to anticipate her move.

Now, the water columns from all directions are like a cage, trapping her inside.

It seems that this matter will not end well without a fierce battle.

Su Xian'er had already made up her mind after traveling all this way.

If she can escape, all the better; but if she can't, she will never surrender.

"May I ask who you are, and would you dare to leave your name?"

Faced with Su Xian'er's questioning, a purple-robed Taoist priest emerged from the water. He looked quite young and possessed an air of otherworldly grace. Look at him:

A cinnabar mole burned between her brows, and she held a purple whisk with a jade handle.

The surrounding area was filled with ethereal energy, and the top was decorated with three gilded floral patterns.

The water beneath my feet forms a rainbow bridge, holding profound mysteries and secrets.

He remains silent, claiming to be a Taoist priest.

Su Xian'er realized that the water prison was beyond human capability to break through after being ambushed by Zi Daoren.

Zhang Chengye was following closely behind her, one in front and one behind, one on land and one on water, leaving her nowhere to hide.

This Purple Daoist is unfathomable and has an extraordinary demeanor; he must be the true form of the Black Mist who spoke with Zhang Chengye earlier.

He first sent Zhang Chengye to pursue her, and then went himself to set up a great formation.

With such methods, yet remaining remarkably steady, it's truly disheartening.

Su Xian'er knew that she was probably going to face this ordeal. It was time for her to undergo her tribulation, so it was only natural that she was a little unlucky.

If I don't run away and fight them, I probably won't have much of a chance.

Anyway, no matter what she does, it's a dead end.

Fortunately, she didn't struggle. Knowing that she was going to die, her attitude became much more composed.

“Zhang Chengye, you are also a virtuous cultivator in the human world, a disciple of the Celestial Master, why do you grovel and serve others?”

Su Xian'er turned her attention to Zhang Chengye. This Zi Dao Ren was of unknown origin and was probably a person who could keep his temper in check. Mocking him would be of no use.

But Zhang Chengye is different. If you can persuade him, this thieving Taoist priest might fall into the demonic path and be bewitched by his inner demons.

If we can extract even a secret or two, that would be excellent.

Even if she dies today, she can still use the secret techniques of the fox clan to let Yan Qingqiu know what happened today.

Her thoughts were too direct, and Zhang Chengye saw right through them.

"You don't need to try to trick me into saying anything. You brought this trouble upon yourself, and no one can save you from it."

After saying that, Zhang Chengye struck with the jade ruyi.

The night is long and many things may happen; this is not the time for idle talk.

Zi Daoren did not make a move, but only watched from the Rainbow Bridge. Su Xian'er dared not ignore it in the slightest.

While Zhang Chengye was making his move, he also had to keep in mind the Purple Daoist standing to the side.

Her cultivation level was slightly higher than Zhang Chengye's, but her timidity and hesitation made her appear to be at a disadvantage.

Zhang Chengye wields the Celestial Master Sword in one hand and a jade ruyi in the other, controlling lightning and summoning wind and rain.

Su Xian'er only has one precious pearl, which can stabilize the feng shui, so no matter how powerful Zhang Chengye's magic is, he can't get close to her.

The fox claws usually grip the side of the Celestial Master Sword, never directly facing its edge.

The two fought fiercely, but it was difficult to determine a winner for a while. However, Zhang Chengye's skills were ultimately lacking, and after attacking for a long time without making any progress, he began to feel impatient.

This gave Su Xian'er an opportunity; she threw the pearl from her hand and smashed it onto Zhang Chengye's forehead.

If it weren't for the jade ruyi protecting him, Zhang Chengye's head would have exploded.

Even so, he felt dizzy and saw stars.

The pearl in the fox spirit's hand didn't seem to have any luster; little did she know it was a deadly weapon.

Knowing he was no match for Su Xian'er, he cried out, "Immortal, save me!"

It's pitiful that he, as a grand-disciple of the Celestial Master, was of impeccable lineage and held a very high position. He thought that once he came out of seclusion, he would be invincible, but who knew that he would first be beaten by the Zombie King, and now he has been beaten by the Fox Spirit.

Zi Daoren couldn't bear to watch either. However, Zhang Chengye wasn't entirely useless; he did manage to force out Su Xian'er's methods.

Since Zhang Chengye had already cried for help, the Purple Daoist seized the opportunity to point a finger and shouted, "Demon, surrender now!"

When Zi Daoren made his move, he first used a celestial voice to rebuke Su Xian'er, which disturbed her mind. Then, he used a finger strike to calm her mind.

A gigantic, ethereal hand reached out to grab Su Xian'er's soul. By capturing her soul, she would be rendered immobile, her life or death entirely in the hands of the Purple Daoist.

Unfortunately, Su Xian'er was a demon who specialized in cultivating her soul. After initially panicking, she quickly sensed something was wrong and hurriedly focused her mind. Her soul transformed into a seven-tailed fox that rushed out of her Niwan Palace and bit the large hand, shattering it into pieces.

In a short while, it returned to her body, but Su Xian'er's aura was already somewhat weak.

The Purple Daoist, delighted that his magic had been broken, said, "You're actually a fine demon who has cultivated the ability to separate her soul from her body. I happen to be short of a mount. If you obey me, I'll spare your life. What do you say?"

The spell he just used was merely a casual strike, yet it drained Su Xian'er of seventy percent of her energy. If he were to strike again so easily, Su Xian'er would be unable to withstand it.

Zi Daoren was also eager to make a move, which is why he proposed to offer surrender.

But Su Xian'er, as the leader of the fox clan, was a proud demon and would never be someone's mount.

Moreover, since ancient times, who has ever used a fox spirit as a mount? Even if there were, such a mount wouldn't be very proper!

Upon hearing the Purple Daoist's offer of surrender, she felt humiliated and her eyes revealed resentment. She was about to use the secret technique of the fox clan to sever the seven tails and teach the Purple Daoist a lesson.

But at that moment, a voice came from afar.

"I think you, Taoist priest, are shameless. You are so ugly, yet you have such beautiful thoughts."

"You want her as a mount? I don't even care to call you out on it!"

The voice resounded like thunder through the heavens, yet each word was clear.

Zi Daoren's expression changed, and he felt a sense of foreboding.

Emits thunderous sounds—a fairly common technique—but this person clearly didn't use any magic. Relying solely on his voice, he possessed such power, which was truly frightening.

In just a few breaths, a young man in white robes appeared, gradually approaching from a distance.

This person is really strange. He can fly, but he doesn't fly properly. Instead, he keeps taking off and landing, as if he's walking by jumping around.

Zi Daoren was initially nervous, but upon seeing this scene, he only found it comical.

He certainly didn't think someone with such skill wouldn't be able to fly, and that making such strange movements was perhaps for some deeper meaning.

With just a few leaps, Lin Yi arrived at the cage formed by the water columns and jumped inside.

Su Xian'er was speechless.

She recognized Lin Yi, and from her words she knew he had come to help her. But the question was, why didn't you break the formation when you were outside of it?

Once inside, there's no way to escape.

Su Xian'er covered her face, but Lin Yi landed in front of her and just in time to raise his hand to block Zhang Chengye's sneak attack.
