I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

Zhang Chengye thought about it and realized that it made sense. Either way, it was death; one was certain death, and the other had a 99% chance of dying.

Since that's the case, why not take a gamble? What if he's lucky and has a long life ahead of him?

"Actually, I don't know much, I only know about human fortune..."

After uttering just four words, Zhang Chengye's expression suddenly changed, his eyes widening as if he were enduring immense pain.

Zhang Chengye immediately realized that Zi Daoren had tampered with him at some point.

Now it has taken effect, and the soul is about to split apart, resulting in the destruction of both body and soul.

Thinking that Zi Daoren had always been wary of him, had just abandoned him and run away, and now wanted his life, Zhang Chengye was also very angry.

All he could do was shout loudly at Lin Yi: "The world's fortunes are at their peak, and immortals and Buddhas are descending to reap the rewards... The Twelve Golden Men are the army to conquer Heaven..."

Chapter 419 Why don't you marry into the family?

Before Zhang Chengye could finish speaking, he suddenly split open and died.

Lin Yi pondered that his soul was probably gone too.

This is what happens when you follow the wrong person.

If you follow him, he might not protect you; if you betray him, he has countless ways to kill you.

Lin Yi felt some pity for Zhang Chengye. The other party may have done something wrong, but he was able to make a contribution at the last moment, which can be considered as knowing how to repent.

However, what he said was indeed quite serious, putting Lin Yi under some pressure.

When the human world has abundant fortune, immortals and Buddhas will harvest that fortune.

However, it seems that the human world is not entirely without defenses; those twelve golden men are the soldiers sent to fight against the heavens...

There's a lot of information here.

Lin Yi gathered his thoughts and felt that the key to the matter might lie with the First Emperor.

Much of the history of the cultivation world was destroyed, countless lineages were wiped out, and many things before the Qin Dynasty were lost in the long river of history.

If we look at Zhang Chengye's statement in reverse, could the Qin Dynasty have perished because it was in conflict with immortals and Buddhas?

When a dynasty unifies the human world, it is naturally at the peak of its fortune. Just as leeks grow well and are harvested, and fat pigs get slaughtered, the same principle applies.

People at that time were probably unwilling to submit, which is why the army that fought against Heaven came into being.

However, the answer is also obvious: all twelve guardians fell, and the Qin Dynasty perished quickly. If there had truly been a battle against the gods at that time, the result would have been a complete defeat for humanity.

I just don't know how human fortune has grown stronger in this time of division between the North and South?

Are there many people who die by suicide?

There was no way to find the answer to this problem by thinking about it alone, so Lin Yi had to stop using his supernatural powers, shrink back to his original size, and then pick up Su Xian'er to find a place to rest.

Since the Luoyang area was still occupied by the enemy, Lin Yi led Su Xian'er westward and saw a majestic pass. On the city wall, a large flag was hanging with the character "Xiao" written on it.

This is Tongguan, which has been occupied by Xiao Yue.

Lin Yi felt more at ease once he arrived here. He leaped into the city and headed straight for the General's Mansion.

Xiao Yue remained stationed in the city, but Luoyang did not send troops to attack. Xiao Yue was unsure whether the enemy was using a trap, so she could only stay in the city and frequently drill her troops.

She practiced martial arts on her own. Although she liked the sword techniques Lin Yi taught her, she felt that spears and halberds were more suitable for her on the battlefield.

Having practiced the Killing Sutra, her current strength is quite formidable. Her spear moves like a dragon, and when she wields it, it seems as if a real dragon is roaring.

When Lin Yi landed, he saw Xiao Yue's dashing and heroic figure, and he was naturally delighted.

This apprentice is truly remarkable, but her master has provided her with far too little help.

The weapon she was holding wasn't anything special, so Lin Yi thought to himself that he would forge a long spear himself and give it to Xiao Yue.

He happened to have a dragon wolf horn in his hand, which was sharp and hard. Lin Yi didn't know what use it was for, but now that he thought about it, it was an excellent material for refining weapons.

While Lin Yi was making his own plans, Xiao Yue also saw him.

He was about to smile, but when he saw Lin Yi holding a woman in his arms, his heart sank. He still stepped forward to greet him and said, "Master, what brings you here?"

"I was just passing by and needed a place to rest, so I thought I'd drop by and see you."

Xiao Yue was somewhat pleased to hear that Lin Yi had come to see her, and then asked, "What happened to this young lady? Is she injured? Should I arrange for a military doctor to take a look?"

"No need. She's just suffering from a loss of spirit. She'll be fine after a good night's sleep."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yue quickly arranged a room for Su Xian'er and let her lie down, so she wouldn't have to stay in Lin Yi's arms all the time.

She's never received this kind of treatment before!

If only I could be held like this by Lin Yi someday.

As soon as the thought crossed Xiao Yue's mind, she felt a sudden flutter in her heart.

She seemed to see a scene before her eyes: she lay silently in Lin Yi's arms, while Lin Yi looked grief-stricken and heartbroken.

This……

Xiao Yue never expected that her casual fantasy would lead to such a scene. Could this be a prophecy about her?

Xiao Yue's heart sank, and she felt terrible.

No one can remain calm and composed after suddenly witnessing their own death, especially Xiao Yue, who is still so young and hasn't lived enough yet.

"Are you troubled? Has things not been going well in Tongguan lately?"

Lin Yi sensed Xiao Yue's emotional change, and although he didn't know why, he had some guesses in his mind.

Xiao Yue quickly replied, "It's nothing to worry about. Everything is fine in Tongguan recently. It's just that Luoyang hasn't sent troops yet, which is worrying."

She shifted her focus from personal matters to official business, which Lin Yi failed to notice. He simply reassured her, "Don't worry, I just caused a scene in Luoyang. They probably won't be inclined to wage war anytime soon."

"Really? That's great!"

War means death, and even though Xiao Yue is very brave, it is impossible for those around her to be without casualties.

Avoid fighting as much as possible, preserve the most strength to fight the most crucial battles, and don't waste manpower on unnecessary casualties.

This is Xiao Yue's biggest realization after leading troops: cherish every soldier and treat every soldier as a brother.

That's how people's hearts come together.

Xiao Yue jumped up happily and hugged Lin Yi.

It's only natural to hug your master to celebrate some good news!

Lin Yi: "..."

He's a young man full of vigor now, and it's not like girls always hug him.

It will react when stimulated.

Lin Yi awkwardly tried to push Xiao Yue away, when he suddenly heard Xiao Yue say, "Master, what are you wearing? It's so uncomfortable."

Lin Yi: "..."

He quickly took out a dragon wolf horn from his cloud bag and said, "This is something left behind by your master after slaying a great demon queen. I'm going to forge it into a weapon for you."

"Master, you are so good to me."

Xiao Yue was deeply moved, and her gaze towards Lin Yi was filled with tenderness.

Lin Yi was inwardly overwhelmed; the girl's affectionate gaze was the most captivating. Lin Yi dared not flirt with other women, so he pretended not to understand.

He quietly slipped away, stood with his hands behind his back, and said, "You don't need to thank me. Just cultivate diligently in the future and protect all living beings. That will be the best way to repay your master."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yue couldn't help but purse her lips; she hadn't said thank you at all.

Besides, if we're going to repay kindness, is protecting all living beings enough?

Why can't she repay him with her body?

Hmph, Master really has no sense of romance.

However, since I've already hugged him today, I won't argue with him anymore.

Xiao Yue also had her own worries at the moment; the scene she had just witnessed made her feel uneasy.

He didn't argue with Lin Yi and said, "Master, don't worry, I will do what I should do."

"I believe you."

"If there's nothing else, I'll go practice my martial arts now."

"it is good."

Lin Yi watched Xiao Yue leave before turning to Su Xian'er, who was lying on the bed.

The sleeping Su Xian'er had lost some of her demonic aura and gained more of an ethereal charm.

However, the purple-robed Taoist I met today had a rather sinister look in his eyes.

Of course, this is Lin Yi's own opinion. According to the records of the Demon Subduing Manual, Su Xian'er's merits are not enough, while Zi Daoren's fame will last for generations.

Lin Yi knew that the standards for evaluating merits and demerits in the Demon-Slaying Manual differed from his own, so he simply focused on killing those who deserved to be killed.

Anyway, the Demon-Slaying Manual doesn't say that people who will be remembered for generations can't be killed; at most, there might be retribution for killing them.

Lin Yi was naturally not afraid.

Meanwhile, Zi Daoren fled all the way to Jiangzhou, where he still felt a sense of unease.

Lin Yi's level of skill was truly perplexing to him.

Why can there be people with such profound spiritual attainments in the human world?

Logically speaking, whether human or demon, once one has attained a certain level of cultivation, one will undergo tribulations, the only difference being the nature of the tribulations.

Demons are struck by lightning, while humans face various external and internal tribulations.

External tribulations are karmic tribulations related to others, while internal tribulations are mental tribulations caused by the obscuring of one's Dao heart, or demonic tribulations caused by the invasion of inner demons.

Both external and internal tribulations are extremely dangerous, but once overcome, they can greatly enhance one's cultivation.

Those whose spiritual cultivation exceeds a certain limit are no longer suitable to live in their original environment.

It's like a carp transforming into a dragon; it can't just return to the pond. That would be bad for the pond and bad for the dragon.

Therefore, all those with profound cultivation seek out places abundant with immortal spiritual energy, which is one of the reasons for the birth of overseas immortal mountains.
