I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

This is also the source of her confidence.

But little did she know that this Lin Yi was no longer the same Lin Yi.

Only two people in this world have guessed this, and neither of them has personally confirmed the conclusion.

It's an unspoken understanding, but others don't know...

It took Venerable Miaofa many visits and investigations to find Lin Yi's birth date and time. This was because she could not rely on her own calculations to obtain Lin Yi's information; she had to conduct actual investigations.

There's no way around it; the protectors are protected by the Heavenly Dao, and the Heavenly Dao will help conceal their information.

It will be difficult to find him unless he reveals himself.

But Lin Yi, this protector, is too high-profile and has too much killing intent.

I don’t know why the Heavenly Dao in the mortal realm chose him. He had a great time fighting, but how could a mortal dare to contend with a god?

No one in history has ever seen such recklessness among the protectors of the Way.

"This protector is no longer a threat. How is the matter at Longhu Mountain going?"

Among the crowd was a Taoist priest dressed in red, who was none other than True Lord Chixia, the leader of the Seven True Lords. He was the one who stepped forward to report.

"Reporting to Your Excellency, Longhu Mountain had over 120 elders and sect leaders, over 480 personal disciples, and over 3,600 outer disciples, all of whom have been executed."

As Chixia spoke, a woman in a blue Taoist robe showed a strange expression, but Venerable Miaofa was too pleased with himself to notice. He simply said with satisfaction, "Very good. Go and prepare yourselves. Tomorrow night is the night of the full moon, and the seal on Xuan Nu will loosen a bit. I wonder if killing her husband tomorrow will force her to regain her divinity?"

Upon hearing this, none of the True Lords dared to respond further.

Flattery is acceptable, but when it comes to taboo matters, Venerable Miaofa can speak, but if they do, they are courting death.

Pretending to be deaf and dumb is the best way to save your life.

Seeing their behavior, Venerable Miaofa found it boring, curled his lip, waved his sleeve and left, leaving only the words "See you here tomorrow night" before disappearing without a trace.

The True Lords breathed a sigh of relief once they confirmed that she had left.

The atmosphere is naturally different when there are leaders present versus when there are no leaders present.

The previously humble-looking True Lord Chixia now had a face full of seriousness and anger.

"Blue Rain, if you want to die, don't drag everyone down with you!"

Chixia rebuked him mercilessly. Lanyu opened her mouth, wanting to explain, but ultimately remained silent.

Green Ivy smiled slightly and said, "Brother Crimson Cloud, what makes you so angry?"

“Ask her! She actually felt compassion for the task assigned by the Venerable One, and let all the people she was supposed to kill go! If I hadn’t helped cover for her, we would all be punished today.”

Only then did everyone realize that Lan Yu, who seemed so gentle and weak, had actually done such a big thing.

Qing Shuang quickly said, "Lan Yu, this is wrong of you. Apologize now!"

She may seem stern, but she's actually trying to minimize problems and resolve them peacefully.

Green Ivy, however, was unwilling. She smiled and said, "Sister Qing Shuang, don't say that. I think Sister Lan Yu's situation is understandable. After all, Sister Lan Yu was once a member of Longhu Mountain. After spending so much time together, we have developed some feelings for each other."

Her words, seemingly pleading for Lan Yu, actually caused the expressions of all the True Lords present to change.

Qing Shuang immediately retorted, "Sister Lan Yu is just kind-hearted and doesn't like killing. Don't overthink it."

"Whether it is or not, only Sister Lanyu herself knows, right?"

"enough!"

Chixia finally couldn't take it anymore and turned to warn Luoluo with a stern look: "The affairs of the human world have not yet been settled. Fighting among yourselves now will not do anyone any good. Don't say such things in the future."

Green Ivy smiled slightly, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

Chixia then looked at Lanyu and said, "You should know in your heart that if you make the same mistake again, don't blame us for being ruthless."

"I see."

Lan Yu bowed her head and answered, her attitude of admitting her mistake very sincere.

This matter can be considered over, as long as Venerable Miaofa doesn't discover those who slipped through the net.

If she is discovered, and with Green Ivy stirring things up again, she'll probably be in big trouble.

This matter could be considered a big deal or a small deal. To put it simply, she was just momentarily moved by compassion and disobeyed orders. Although she would be punished, it wouldn't warrant the death penalty.

But if, as Green Ivy said, she develops feelings for Longhu Mountain, then she will only face death and be punished for all eternity.

Because immortals cannot be moved by anything in the mortal world.

Neither love nor friendship is acceptable.

Once discovered, regardless of their identity, they will be subject to sanctions.

Even enlightened immortals at the level of Xuan Nu are no exception.

Fortunately, although each member of their small group had their own agenda, none of the others wanted anyone in the group to be punished too severely. This is why Chixia helped cover it up and warned Green Ivy.

"We'll move out tomorrow. From now on, no one is allowed to leave. We'll stay here and monitor the Crystal Palace!"

In the pool, the scene of Lin Yi entrusting his son to someone else continued, and Chi Xia looked at Lin Yi with anger surging in her eyes.

That's a look of hatred in my eyes.

"Zidian, I will avenge you! I will make him die a thousand times worse than you!"

Chixia secretly vowed in his heart that among the True Lords, he was probably the only one who truly wanted to avenge Zi Daoren; the others didn't seem to care much about Zi Daoren's death.

People's joys and sorrows are not shared.

Lan Yu watched the scene unfolding in the Crystal Palace and silently retreated behind the crowd.

Once everyone was busy with their own things and no one was paying attention to her, Lan Yu quietly left. She carefully slipped to the riverbank and splashed a blue raindrop into the water.

Just as I was about to leave, I heard a cold voice come from behind me: "What are you doing?"

Chapter 477 Backstab

"What are you doing!?"

Hearing the sound, Lan Yu turned around and saw Qing Shuang with a complicated expression.

Upon discovering that the visitor was Qing Shuang, Lan Yu's tense state immediately relaxed.

If it were anyone else in her shoes, she would have no choice but to take action now.

But Qing Shuang was different; the two were like sisters, and Lan Yu believed that Qing Shuang would not report her.

Having come this far, she could no longer hide the truth, so she simply replied, "I have received great kindness from the Mysterious Maiden, and now that she has encountered great calamity, I only wish to do my part."

Then she added, "Don't worry, sister, this won't affect our killing of the protectors."

Upon hearing this, Qing Shuang sighed and shook her head.

"How could you possibly get involved in the affairs of such important figures? I know you have a kind heart, but kindness without absolute strength to back it up will only drag you into the abyss."

I'm sure you know what kind of fate awaits the sinful immortal.

Moreover, Venerable Miaofa possesses great supernatural powers. If you betray her, she might not be unaware. Once the matter is exposed, you may be unable to live or die!

Speaking of these things, Lan Yu also looked frightened.

Don't be fooled by the glamorous appearance of immortals; that's only in comparison to mortals. In the real heavens, minor immortals without power have the same status as ordinary people on earth.

For ordinary people in the mortal world, death is nothing more than death; perhaps their souls will have the chance to be reincarnated and given a better life.

If you had a hard life in your past life, you might be able to achieve great success in the next.

But gods are different. In this life, they are ordinary gods. Once they die, the achievements they make in their next reincarnation will most likely not be better than in this life.

This is assuming no one has been offended; if one has committed a crime, then one will be punished for all eternity.

The souls of immortals are often very powerful, and their true spirit will not be extinguished even after several reincarnations.

Unlike mortals, who, if they are truly unfortunate, will have their souls shattered into fragments after several reincarnations, and finally die completely, thus ending all suffering.

What's terrifying is living, possessing memories of the past, yet being able to watch yourself be humiliated without any means of resistance.

This is why immortals turn pale at the mere mention of sinful immortals.

Nobody wants to become a sinful immortal.

Seeing that Lan Yu was already scared, Qing Shuang stopped talking about it.

Although she had placed some restrictions, there was no guarantee that someone with supernatural powers could hear them talking.

If the secret is leaked, Lan Yu will surely die.

"There's no point in saying anything more now. From this moment on, you'd better stay there quietly and don't make any rash moves!"

"I understand, thank you, sister."

As Lan Yu had expected, Qing Shuang did not intend to report her.

The two returned to the small stone pool together. Everyone glanced at them but didn't say anything. However, Green Ivy gave Blue Rain a smile.

That smile made Lan Yu's heart skip a beat.

What does her smile mean?

However, no one was speaking at the moment; everyone was monitoring Crystal Palace, so Blue Rain didn't want to test the waters and arouse suspicion.

Meanwhile, in the Xiangjiang River, a drop of blue water was flowing upstream, heading straight for the Crystal Palace.

In the water, such blue droplets are not particularly noticeable.

An ordinary fish accidentally swallowed the water droplet and continued swimming towards the Crystal Palace.

The fish swam smoothly to the vicinity of the Crystal Palace, where it was caught by a small, white hand.

The one catching fish was Yu Xue.

She was bored, and since the women in the Crystal Palace were all taking care of Lin Yi, she sent her to watch the door.

Yu Xue was bored and had nowhere else to go when a fish swam by. Since Yu Xue had nothing else to do, she started playing a game of catching fish.

Yu Xue had no idea that there were water droplets inside the fish's belly that could transmit messages. Anyway, nothing happened after she caught it, and she played with it for a while without harming the fish.

She noticed that the fish was constantly circling around the Crystal Palace, and she swam after it for a long time.

Finally, the fish found a small crack in the Crystal Palace's gate and tried to squeeze inside.
