I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

There are probably more than one person stronger than him in the Four Saints' Abode.

However, this certainly does not include Lu Quanzhen.

If Lu Quanzhen were truly confident in defeating him, he wouldn't have brought up the name of the Four Saints' Abode.

Having discussed this much, Lin Yi had more or less understood the information he wanted, so there was no need to give Lu Quan any more face.

"Thank you for the reminder, fellow Daoist, but Xiao Zhao is doomed today, and no one can save him, I said it!"

After saying that, Lin Yi made a sudden move. Lu Quanzhen thought that by bringing up Penglai and the Four Saints' Abode, he should be able to make Lin Yi wary. In addition, it was common sense that killing an emperor whose life was not yet over would cause a backlash.

Who would have thought that Lin Yi would be so reckless, drawing his sword and slashing at Xiao Zhao? Lu Quanzhen hastily drew a Tai Chi diagram to block the sword, but his knees buckled uncontrollably.

Lin Yi's attack on Xiao Zhao earlier was just a casual strike, but now he's using seventy percent of his strength, so it's not so easy to block.

Even though this sword strike was blocked, Lin Yi still had a backup plan.

With a flick of his finger, a huge pearl fell like a meteor, heading straight for Xiao Zhao.

Lu Quan really wanted to help, but Lin Yi's true strength could only be known after they actually fought.

He initially thought he could go toe-to-toe with Lin Yi, after all, he was not unfamiliar with spells like the Law of Heaven and Earth.

At most, it's a 40/60 split.

But now it seems to be about 10% to 90%...

Lu Quanzhen only had time to extend his hand towards the Ruyi Pearl before the pearl slammed Xiao Zhao into the mud with a thud.

With a loud bang, flames erupted.

This wish-fulfilling pearl understands Lin Yi's thoughts very well.

First, they smashed his head; that one blow killed Xiao Zhao instantly. The fire was to destroy the evidence and ensure Xiao Zhao's complete death.

As for whether Xiao Zhao's soul would turn into a vengeful ghost and come to seek revenge, Lin Yi didn't care much.

Isn't this a double celebration?

"you!"

Lu Quan looked at Lin Yi in disbelief. Lin Yi had killed Xiao Zhao and stopped hitting him, which made him feel like he was invincible again.

You will regret what you did today.

Lu Quanzhen, his face ashen, uttered these harsh words. Lin Yi raised an eyebrow, a strange glint in his eyes: "You mean, the Four Saints Sect is going to cause me trouble?"

If that's the case, then he'll have to consider killing them to silence them.

Lu Quanzhen dared not respond further, feeling somewhat flustered.

At this moment, Yan Qingqiu's voice came from the sky: "Fellow Daoist, Xiao Zhao is dead. You should go back and report. Also, please pass on a message to Immortal Lord Hongluan for me."

Lu Quanzhen's heart trembled when he heard the words "Red Phoenix Immortal Lord".

Hongluan Xianjun was the first mountain lord of Penglai and its earliest founder.

After that, he lived a secluded life in Penglai, cultivating himself in a very low-key manner.

Even some disciples of Penglai might not know of the existence of such a patriarch, yet the Lord of Qingqiu called him by his honorific title.

He dared not be negligent and quickly said, "Please speak, fellow Daoist."

He was determined to go back no matter what, even if it was just to deliver a message.

"Could you ask me when the peach trees in Qingqiu Mountain, which bloom every year, will be ready to bear peaches?"

Lu Quanzhen: "..."

You want me to go see the patriarch just so you can eat a peach?

outrageous.

Lu Quanzhen inwardly grumbled, but didn't voice his doubts. After agreeing to Yan Qingqiu's request, he looked at Lin Yi with an unfriendly gaze, but still cupped his hands in greeting and said, "Until we meet again!"

It means I'll admit defeat today and wait for me to call for reinforcements.

Lin Yi appeared nonchalant, but in his heart, he had already made going to Longhu Mountain to withdraw money a priority.

After escaping from him, Zi Daoren ran all the way to Longhu Mountain, presumably disguised as Zhang Chengye and continued to live there!

Lin Yi wasn't in a hurry to kill him, but now that he had to kill Xiao Zhao, there was another problem, so he had to be prepared to deal with the danger.

Lu Quanzhen left quickly, and only then did Lin Yi look at Yan Qingqiu.

Yan Qingqiu had been maintaining Qingqiu all along, and only now had he rearranged the formation, allowing Qingqiu to slowly ascend.

She also took this opportunity to come to Lin Yi and say goodbye to him.

"Thank you so much for today. Consider this arrow a thank-you gift! Until we meet again."

With that, she tossed the arrow to Lin Yi and flew up to Qingqiu.

Lin Yi: "..."

I'll just use it and run?

Lin Yi hesitated for a moment, then finally called out to her retreating figure, "Hey, my dragon scales!"

Chapter 430 The Cat Makes a Great Contribution

The promised reward for helping to prevent Qingqiu from collapsing was five dragon scales.

Lin Yi's demand didn't seem to be wrong, but Yan Qingqiu felt a little upset.

The atmosphere has been built up to this point, and you're asking me for dragon scales?

She thought Lin Yi would try to persuade her to stay, or ask if there would be another chance to watch the sunrise together in the future.

In short, getting dragon scales is really...

"I will return it to you after I've used it."

"Alright, you can go now. Until we meet again."

Yan Qingqiu: "..."

She sensed that Lin Yi had become smarter. Unlike his previous restrained and serious self, Lin Yi was now more aggressive, trying to take the lead in their relationship.

This change indicates that he has become aware of his feelings for her and has chosen to accept them.

Yan Qingqiu felt both happy and guilty.

Happiness, it seems, meant that Lin Yi had fallen in love with her.

She felt guilty, but she couldn't control herself. Her heart was filled with contradictions. Reason told her to stay away from Lin Yi, but she couldn't control her emotions.

If she had known this would happen, she should have ended the relationship back then, but she couldn't bear to, thinking that with her temperament and willpower, she could control herself.

She tried her best to control herself during their first reunion.

Moreover, for a long time afterward, she did not take the initiative to appear in front of Lin Yi.

Unfortunately, fate played a cruel trick on her, and Lin Yi always ended up getting involved in her plans. If she didn't take drastic measures against Lin Yi, her plans would not be able to be realized.

She couldn't bring herself to be ruthless towards Lin Yi.

She always seemed to have everything under control, but she hesitated and struggled countless times, striving for perfection, but the most perfect option was eliminated from the very beginning.

By now, Yan Qingqiu has more or less come to understand.

If she's ruthless, Lin Yi will be badly hurt; if she's soft-hearted, Lin Yi will still suffer.

No matter what she chooses, the result will be the same.

This is the inevitability of defying fate, and the price that those who defy it must pay.

Even Yan Qingqiu, when faced with the will of Heaven, is not immune to moments of despair.

When you submit to fate, everything will go smoothly.

However, going against fate will inevitably lead to misfortune, and doing so may even have more serious consequences than not doing it.

Even so, Yan Qingqiu was unwilling to follow the will of Heaven.

We've already gone halfway; there's no reason to turn back.

She simply ignored Lin Yi's words and controlled Qingqiu to head east. She didn't look back at Lin Yi even once until she disappeared into the clouds.

Lin Yi casually put away the arrow that Yan Qingqiu had given him, and then looked at the 100,000-strong army left behind by Xiao Zhao.

Lin Yi killed Xiao Zhao right under the noses of an army of 100,000, but even though they witnessed the scene, they didn't have the courage to seek revenge on Lin Yi.

Even when they were at their peak, they couldn't do anything to Lin Yi, let alone now.

But an atmosphere of despair hung over the army.

Although Lin Yi said that as long as people don't become his enemies, he won't go on a killing spree.

But there were about 20,000 people who refused to repent before.

What if Lin Yi changes his previous decision because of these people?

Even if Lin Yi doesn't kill them, what will become of them after the emperor dies?

Everyone was confused and didn't know what to do next.

In fact, Lin Yi was also having a headache.

We can't just leave these 100,000 people alone.

After their defeat on the battlefield, these people's confidence was shaken, and their morale was almost gone. If Lin Yi lets them go, there's no guarantee they won't do heinous things to the people in the nearby towns in order to vent their negative emotions.

The difference between soldiers and bandits in this regard is not significant.

Therefore, Lin Yi had to properly settle them, at least to ensure that they would not cause any unrest.

But Lin Yi killed the emperor, and he himself didn't have a suitable identity, so these people probably wouldn't be loyal to him.

It's really a headache. You can't kill them, you can't release them, and you can't manage them.

Just as Lin Yi was having a headache, a cold voice rang out behind him.

"Brother, you really are in cahoots with that vixen."

Lin Yi turned around and saw Xiao Se looking heartbroken and disappointed.
