I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

After all, they were merely passive observers of a murder case and did not participate in it.

As for the curse of the Purple Daoist, it may just be the final outburst of a dying person, and it may not actually cause any harm.

Most people have this wishful thinking, but Xuanming, listening to the opinions of these fellow Daoists, sighed inwardly.

He felt things weren't that simple.

He had witnessed the whole thing. When Lin Yi was about to say something, Zi Daoren was the first to try to stop him. After Lin Yi finished speaking, Zi Daoren looked utterly hopeless, and his madness was mixed with fear.

Clearly, this matter is not as simple as it seems.

Knowing the undercurrents between the mortal realm and the celestial realm, do these Taoist priests really have a chance to survive?

However, he did not try to persuade those who wanted to escape; he could only worry in silence.

Perhaps, at least we should make some arrangements for what's to come. If misfortune truly strikes, at least we can give our disciples and descendants some peace.

After the Taoists finished their secret discussion, Lin Yi also collected the remnants of the Purple Taoist.

After the Purple Taoist was burned, he did not turn into ashes, but left behind a purple stone that was broken into two pieces.

This stone is neither jade nor gold; it should be a rare and excellent material for refining weapons.

Moreover, this stone contains very pure lightning power. If it is refined into an artifact, it should also imbue the artifact with lightning attributes.

No wonder he's an immortal; even in death, he drops top-quality materials.

It's a pity that killing Zi Daoren didn't yield any equipment. A deity's wealth should be considerable. I wonder if Zi Daoren was just hiding it well.

Like He Dong's Ghost Realm, even if He Dong dies, the things hidden inside will not fall out on the spot. The Ghost Realm will gradually be lost in the void because He Dong is gone. It may appear randomly somewhere, or it may disappear completely.

Since Zi Daoren is an immortal, he may also possess such abilities.

Lin Yi wasn't disappointed; Zi Daoren's body was the best treasure, and that was enough.

One should not be too greedy.

He glanced at the crowd, said nothing, and with a leap, left Longhu Mountain.

I've been away from home for three days without sending any messages. If I don't go back soon, they'll start to worry.

Fortunately, Lin Yi could observe their condition through the Demon-Slaying Manual. Seeing that they were all calm and peaceful, Lin Yi knew that they were safe and sound.

Judging by the days, Jiang Linglong should be back by now.

With this in mind, Lin Yi flew towards Xiangzhou while opening Jiang Linglong's page.

Since the observation time for today hadn't been used yet, Lin Yi also wanted to see if Jiang Linglong had arrived home yet.

Given Jiang Linglong's pace, she should have been home a couple of days ago. Perhaps she traveled a particularly long distance this time, because when Lin Yi observed her yesterday, she still hadn't arrived.

"If Lin Yi wanted to kill you, would you choose to resist or submit to execution?"

The opening lightning strike had a total observation time of ten seconds. Lin Yi never expected that he would hear such a sentence when he randomly clicked on it.

The speaker was a person shrouded in black mist, whose identity could not be discerned.

This statement, which was clearly meant to spread rumors, naturally enraged Jiang Linglong.

"You wicked scoundrels, stop trying to sow discord here!"

"Hehe, I guess you think he would never kill you. That's an enviable level of trust. But when you trust him, do you think he will trust you back?"

What if he thinks you're going to kill him?

Lin Yi only had ten seconds to observe, and that was all he could see.

Upon hearing this conversation, he immediately felt a surge of anxiety.

Jiang Linglong couldn't afford to fly into a rage, but someone here was stirring up her anger and trying to sow discord between them.

He wasn't afraid of Jiang Linglong suspecting him; he was afraid of Jiang Linglong losing control of her anger.

Fortunately, the Demon-Slaying Manual can still locate Jiang Linglong, and the location is in Xiangzhou.

It seems she's already very close to home.

Lin Yi ran at full speed and soon arrived in Xiangzhou. Following the scent, he found the Crystal Palace.

Inside the Crystal Palace, everyone was gathered together, and not a single person was missing.

When Lin Yi arrived, Jiang Linglong and several women were sitting in the pavilion, chatting happily.

As soon as Lin Yi returned, everyone's eyes naturally turned to him.

"You're finally back! I was worried something had happened to you!"

The little fox Su Xian'er pounced on Lin Yi and gave him a hug, just like a loyal dog welcoming its master home.

Integration has increased slightly...

That doesn't matter anymore.

Lin Yi looked at Jiang Linglong, whose expression remained calm and unchanged.

Lin Yi's heart skipped a beat.

He only spent a quarter of an hour traveling, so Jiang Linglong's normal behavior was rather unusual...

Chapter 464 Your Choice

Lin Yi was worried about Jiang Linglong's condition, but this was something that couldn't be discussed openly for the time being. What needed to be addressed openly was Guan Buping's problem.

Lin Yi greeted Jiang Linglong, then looked at Guan Buping and Bao Sanniang lying on the two planks.

Guan Buping and Bao Sanniang both looked serene; once the white cloth was put over them, it was time for the feast.

They became who they are today because of Lin Yi.

They had agreed to kill the snake first, but then Lin Yi suddenly received news from Zi Daoren, and his intuition told him that this matter was even more important.

I thought that killing Zi Daoren would be just another matter of finishing him off with a single strike, just like last time. Even if he were a god or immortal, I could kill him with a single blow.

However, the reality is that the true form of the immortals and gods is indeed extraordinary, and Lin Yi spent a considerable amount of time refining it.

To kill the snake, you must first put down the Purple Taoist, otherwise something unexpected may happen.

If Guan Buping is thinking about killing Zi Daoren, he will die.

Lin Yi didn't dwell on it much at the time.

Zi Daoren can be killed later, it will just cause some trouble, but once Guan Buping is dead, he is truly dead.

It's easy to weigh which is more important.

However, just as Lin Yi was about to make a decision, Su Xian'er made a great contribution.

She noticed that Lin Yi hadn't returned for a long time, and knew that things might not be going smoothly for him. Since Lin Yi wasn't coming back, she didn't dare to go looking for trouble with the Crimson Serpent Clan on her own.

After years of development, the Crimson Serpent Clan is now even stronger than the Fox Clan. If Lin Yi doesn't return, no matter how many of them go, they'll just be food for the enemy.

However, even if she couldn't launch a direct attack, Su Xian'er wasn't without ways to stall for time.

The key to the poison of "Entangled Love" lies in the word "love." The deeper the emotion, the faster the poison takes effect, and the more painful it is.

Su Xian'er does have the ability to forcibly erase other people's emotions; as long as her soul is strong enough, she can control weaker souls.

Su Xian'er didn't need to go to such extremes; she just needed to make the two of them forget their feelings for a short period of time.

To achieve this, it was relatively simple. Su Xian'er was skilled in bewitching and soul-controlling techniques. With two spells, Guan Buping and Bao Sanniang immediately fell into a coma.

Lin Yi happened to see Su Xian'er's actions, which is why he didn't return immediately.

However, Su Xian'er never expected that Lin Yi would not return for three days.

Her magic has its limits. If Guan Buping and Bao Sanniang continue to lie there like this, they'll probably both become mentally impaired once the snake venom is neutralized.

Just now in the pavilion, everyone was discussing how to handle the situation.

It's unclear when Lin Yi will return, and Su Xian'er's magic will expire tomorrow.

Using mind control techniques on the same person multiple times will inevitably damage their soul, and this damage is extremely difficult to repair.

Therefore, Qu Jing wanted to go and cause trouble for the Red-banded Snake herself, but everyone else objected.

Especially Bai Lianxian, who is the Demon King of the Snake Clan. Although she is not from the Red Snake Clan, she has a deep understanding of the Red Snake Clan.

When she first became the Demon King, an ugly monster from the Crimson Serpent Clan took a liking to her and wanted to take her as his concubine.

Is this something Bai Lianxian can tolerate?

A snake may lack talent, but it must not be old and ugly.

Bai Lianxian ran away on the spot and hid in the mountains for a long time.

Even as a demon king, he could only retreat in the face of the Crimson Serpent Clan, which shows how powerful the Crimson Serpent Clan was.

The Crimson Serpent Clan is extremely vengeful; once you provoke them, it will be a fight to the death.

Fortunately, Bai Lianxian was a demon king, and after joining the demon emperor's ranks, he had some connections. With the help of other demon kings, this feud was resolved.

Given the immense power of the Crimson Serpent Clan, if Qu Jing were to confront them, Guan Buping might not be able to save her, and Qu Jing herself would likely be implicated as well.

It wasn't until Jiang Linglong returned that everyone regained some confidence.

Although Jiang Linglong's cultivation level is not the highest, she is definitely the most capable fighter.

The sisters were discussing their next move when Lin Yi returned.

Now they felt completely at ease.

Upon hearing Su Xian'er's account of Guan Buping's situation, Lin Yi realized the situation was urgent and he didn't have much time left.

He immediately said, "The two of us can handle this; you can just wait at home."

After speaking, he looked at Jiang Linglong again. Jiang Linglong's gaze was deep, making it impossible to see what she was thinking.

but……

Lin Yi possesses a manual for subduing demons.

Status: Confused...

Lin Yi: "..."

What is she confused about?
