I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

However, when he voiced this idea, Bu Suanzi merely looked at him with pity and shook his head.

"It is fate. Struggling is useless. She is the one you are destined to kill."

"Wasn't this supposed to be my killing spree? How did it turn into me killing her?"

Lin Yi grasped the withered hand of the fortune teller, but dared not use too much force, lest he crush the old Taoist priest who was on the verge of death.

"When husband and wife turn against each other, one lives and the other dies; it's up to you to choose."

The fortune teller spoke with great certainty. He pressed Lin Yi's hand down, stood up shakily, and looked up at the sky.

The sky is not visible inside the house; only sparse sunlight shines into the room.

“Fate is hard to defy, so let nature take its course. If you kill her, you will live, and all the people in the world will live too.”

"If you don't kill her, you will surely die, and the land will be devastated, scorched earth for miles."

"If I absolutely must not kill her, how can I break this deadlock?"

Lin Yi looked at Bu Suanzi with a determined gaze.

He would never turn the knife against his wife if there were even the slightest possibility.

"I don't know either. The divination shows it is true, and fate is hard to change."

Bu Suanzi sighed. Now, he truly saw Lin Yi's impending doom.

Originally, this was supposed to be a fatal calamity for Lin Yi and Jiang Linglong.

But now, Bu Suanzi understands that Lin Yi is the one who will die.

"For the sake of the common people, I urge you to consider this carefully, fellow Daoist. When you came, you saw the peaceful and prosperous people of Xingsha City, didn't you?"

If you, fellow Daoist, cannot survive, not only Xingsha County, but the entire Xiangzhou, and even the nearby Jiangzhou and Yingzhou, will be affected.

Heaven will not stand idly by and watch humanity perish; by then, she may not survive either. You should be able to weigh the pros and cons clearly.

Bu Suanzi described to Lin Yi what would happen after his death, which was something Lin Yi could not accept.

"Is there really no other way? There's always a glimmer of hope."

Bu Suanzi shook his head and said firmly, "Those who obey Heaven will have a chance to live, while those who defy Heaven will face certain death."

His only way out was to kill Jiang Linglong with his own hands.

This is the glimmer of hope that those who follow the will of Heaven can obtain.

Lin Yi's hand trembled slightly.

He originally thought his opponents would be countless gods and Buddhas, or the mysterious Four Saints.

Unexpectedly, the real crisis came from Jiang Linglong.

Lin Yi rubbed his head, suddenly realized something, and asked, "Do you know why she suddenly became furious and lost control?"

Bu Suanzi shook his head and said, "I don't know the details, but it should be related to her."

Discovering these things had already cost him his life.

That was all he could tell Lin Yi.

Why did you suddenly start telling my fortune?

Lin Yi's gaze sharpened. He knew it was impolite to doubt Bu Suanzi, but he couldn't help but suspect him.

He was open and honest, and if he had any suspicions, he asked directly.

There must be a reason why Bu Suanzi would sacrifice himself to perform divination.

"I was already nearing the end of my life, but I felt I was about to die, so I decided to do one last fortune telling for someone and make a good connection."

Actually, I noticed you a long time ago.

Bu Suanzi gave Lin Yi a mysterious smile, which secretly alarmed Lin Yi.

Bu Suanzi had long noticed his unusual nature, but he never noticed any trace of Bu Suanzi.

Even though he had Chen Huaiyuan, the fortune teller's apprentice, by his side, Lin Yi didn't pay much attention to him.

He was just too young and impetuous!

"Alright, I don't have much time left. There are many questions I'm afraid I can't answer for you, but the path is under your feet, and one day you will know everything."

Bu Suanzi seemed to be implying something, and he walked towards the door on his own. Lin Yi sighed softly, but ultimately did not stop him.

In fact, he did not doubt the truthfulness of the fortune teller's words. If the fortune teller wanted to deceive him, such a method would not be very effective.

Was he telling such a lie just to get him to kill Jiang Linglong?

However, he would never kill Jiang Linglong based on a few words from others. If it were a lie, it would only make him more vigilant and increase his defenses.

In that case, if the other party is lying, the result will only be that Lin Yi is nervous for a while, which is meaningless.

Therefore, what Bu Suanzi said is most likely true.

However, he didn't know exactly what would cause Jiang Linglong to lose control, which left him somewhat at a loss.

After Bu Suanzi left, Lin Yi remained in the same spot, frowning and deep in thought.

Meanwhile, after Su Xian'er and Qu Jing left the Jingye Division together, they didn't speak to each other.

The situation was quite awkward. They were not familiar with each other, but had a special relationship and were acting together, which made Qu Jing, who was not good at socializing, feel a little lost.

Su Xian'er is good at socializing, but she doesn't know what Qu Jing is thinking.

Seeing that Qu Jing didn't speak, she thought that Qu Jing disdained to talk to her.

With Lin Yi not around, she had nothing to pretend about, so she simply maintained her aloof demeanor.

As a result, the two did not exchange a single word throughout the entire conversation.

It wasn't until Qu Jing passed by a dilapidated house that her expression suddenly changed.

"Senior brother!?"

They passed by Guan Buping's old house. Qu Jing heard a noise inside and quickly went in.

A carriage was parked in the courtyard; it must be that Guan Buping had indeed returned.

"Senior brother, is that you back?"

Qu Jing huffed at Guan Buping, then hurriedly went inside.

As she entered the house, she was met with Bao Sanniang's gaze.

Guan Buping was dressed in thick clothes and was sitting on the couch, covered with a small cotton quilt. He didn't seem to be in very good condition.

"Sister-in-law, senior brother."

Qu Jing greeted Bao Sanniang and Guan Buping.

She was about to ask the two how their trip had gone, but seeing that Bao Sanniang, who used to be so carefree, now looked listless, her heart sank.

"Junior sister, you came so quickly. We just got back too."

Guan Buping remained calm and chatted with Qu Jing.

Qu Jing cut to the chase and asked, "Did your medical treatment go smoothly this time, Senior Brother?"

Qu Jing had already guessed that the situation might not be so optimistic.

Sure enough, when Guan Buping heard her question, his eyes darkened a bit, and he said, "Our trip was originally going quite smoothly. Using the identity tokens that Lin Yi gave us, we successfully found that renowned doctor in Jiankang."

With proper care and rest, he could live to be ten years old.

Qu Jing's heart skipped a beat. Could a lifespan of only ten years be considered smooth sailing?

What worries Qu Jing even more is that, according to Guan Buping's statement, there might be some other unexpected events.

Sure enough, Guan Buping continued, "I would have been content with a lifespan of ten years, but on the way back, we encountered a monster that was harming people..."

"You've interfered again?"

Qu Jing was both shocked and furious. Guan Buping's health was already poor, and if she forced him to take action, it would only hasten his death.

How could he not know?

However, she also understood Guan Buping very well.

If Guan Buping hadn't encountered or discovered it, it would have been fine. But if he had, he probably wouldn't have been able to stand idly by.

However, Qu Jing guessed wrong this time.

“I didn’t intend to get involved; it was the one that discovered us.”

Bao Sanniang then interjected, "That's a snake demon. It's very fast, moving like lightning. It should have the strength of a demon king."

"Demon King?"

Qu Jing was puzzled. With Bao Sanniang and Guan Buping's strength, encountering the Demon King would only lead to their death. How did they manage to return?

"The snake demon only bit us once and then left in a hurry. We don't know if it was just playing a trick on us or if something suddenly happened. In any case, we were lucky to survive."

But they didn't completely survive.

They hurriedly returned to Xingsha City, somewhat driven by a desire to return to their roots.

Qu Jing was quite observant, and she asked eagerly, "Is that a poisonous snake?"

Bao Sanniang nodded.

She rolled up her sleeve, revealing a wound on her wrist from which a hideous line of blood, like a crimson snake, coiled around Bao Sanniang's arm.

It has now circled around to the elbow.

She rolled up the uneven cuffs of her sleeves, revealing the same wounds and marks.

"Is it too late to cut off my arm now?"

Seeing the wound on her hand, Qu Jing quickly thought of amputating her arm.

Bao Sanniang sighed, shook her head, unbuttoned her clothes, revealing her enormous member that would shame others.

On her fair chest, there was the same wound, from which a blood-red line extended...
