I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

With a formidable enemy before him, Lin Yi would certainly not abandon his preferred weapon.

Moreover, it's not just the Demon-Slaying Sword that can kill to become stronger; he can do the same.

As long as his growth rate is no slower than that of the Demon-Slaying Sword, he is not afraid of the Demon-Slaying Sword devouring its master.

Thinking of Lin Yi's situation, Lan Yu also fell silent. She knew that Lin Yi needed a powerful weapon now, but using the Demon Slayer would be like drinking poison to quench his thirst.

"It's probably useless for me to advise you now, but you must remember not to show weakness in front of it, otherwise it will not hesitate to devour its master."

In the war of immortals' demise, countless immortals and gods were drunk by it, but in the end, it slew its own master.

"The Battle of Immortal Fall?"

Blue Rain: "..."

I'm telling you something important, why are you only interested in these background stories?

Lan Yu was also terrified, realizing she had inadvertently revealed another secret.

However, with so many leaks today, Blue Rain has simply given up.

She answered whatever Lin Yi asked.

"The War of Immortal Fall occurred nine thousand years ago, during which countless immortals and gods perished in the mortal realm. It even alarmed beings above the Venerable level before the war was quelled, hence the name War of Immortal Fall."

Nine thousand years ago...

Lin Yi did some quick calculations and realized that the Qin Dynasty had been established for about a thousand years, since the Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms were both longer than the history Lin Yi knew.

Before Qin, there was Zhou (the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were both part of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty). Zhou lasted for eight thousand years. So, the Battle of Immortal Demise was probably the legendary Battle of the Investiture of the Gods.

In other words, it is possible that King Zhou was the one who orchestrated the war between the immortals and the dead.

Could this sword be King Zhou's sword?

In the dream described by Jiang Linglong, the tyrant of the Yin Shang Dynasty used a red sword.

Having gathered information from various sources, Lin Yi felt he was getting close to the truth.

So here's the question: Jiang Linglong was Jiang Ziya nine thousand years ago, so how did King Zhou's sword end up in her hands?

What's the story behind this?

Lin Yi's expression shifted inexplicably, but since the matter was still unresolved, he had no choice but to suppress his emotions and change the subject, asking, "What kind of strength is above the Venerable level?"

Blue Rain: "..."

She finally understood: Lin Yi was going to expose her completely today!

But this information was rather dangerous, so Lan Yu dared not say any more.

"Those above the Venerable Ones are beyond words. You will know when you come into contact with them, but I hope you will never have the chance to know."

By the time they found out, they had already made contact. Given Lin Yi's status, if he were to come into contact with someone above the Venerable level, he would surely face certain death.

"Lend your auspicious words."

Since he had already asked about something that shouldn't be asked anymore, Lin Yi didn't press the matter.

"You should get some rest. I have no other questions."

"Ah."

Lan Yu responded, and then saw Lin Yi walk away on his own.

Hey, let me rest properly, can't you at least carry me to bed?

This floor is quite cold; it's not soft at all!

Lan Yu was internally ranting, but just as she was about to speak, she saw Lin Yi unleash three balls of fire, each enveloping one of the True Monarch's corpses, and she dared not utter a word.

Can't be bothered, can't be bothered.

Jiang Linglong finished brewing the tonic and came over to find this scene: Lin Yi was burning three corpses, while Lan Yu lay on the cold ground.

Lin Yi has always been a gentle and considerate person. The way he treats Lan Yu is definitely a way of showing his attitude.

Jiang Linglong was very pleased. She had previously worried that she was too lenient, which led to more and more women around Lin Yi. Now it seemed that Lin Yi was still very principled.

She smiled and fed Lan Yu the medicine, then took Lan Yu to rest.

The crisis was temporarily averted, but Jiang Linglong did not rashly inform the people in the Dragon King's Palace.

This matter needs to be addressed by Lin Yi.

Everyone thought Lin Yi was finished and was heartbroken for days, but judging from Lin Yi's behavior just now, he was clearly faking it.

He absolutely has to give everyone an explanation for this, and it has to be him personally.

After taking the tonic, Lan Yu felt much more energetic.

This thought reminded her of something very important.

She quickly said to Jiang Linglong, "I forgot something very important. The Venerable One has already sent assassins to cut off Lin Yi's wings, but we don't know who it is."

Jiang Linglong's expression changed slightly, and she quickly went to tell Lin Yi, who was cremating the corpse, the news.

Lin Yi was startled. There weren't many people who could be considered his protectors, but there were a few who were still wandering outside.

For example, Yan Qingqiu, Xiao Se, and his little apprentice.

Thinking of Yan Qingqiu, Lin Yi suddenly felt a strange sense of confidence, as if she would be alright.

Perhaps Lan Yu's assumption is wrong; he is not fighting alone, but has an ally, Yan Qingqiu.

Xiao Se is more worrying. She is still relatively young, and although her strength has improved a lot, it is not enough to fight against top experts.

They are also somewhat lacking in intelligence and are easily manipulated.

Although Lin Yi was giving her the cold shoulder, he wasn't breaking off all ties with her. Now that he knew Xiao Se might be in danger, he certainly wouldn't ignore it.

Lin Yi quickly took out the intertwined branches that he hadn't used in a long time and carved a few words on them.

Far away in Jiankang, Xiao Se was toying with the small statue in his hand, feeling secretly saddened.

The small wooden carvings that used to be hot and had a few words appear on them haven't had any text for a long time.

A sense of desolation and sadness settled over him, and suddenly, words appeared on the wood carving.

"Brother, you have encountered a powerful enemy and may be implicated. Please be extremely careful."

Xiao Se sat up in surprise; Lin Yi had sent her another message.

Upon seeing these words, she was not worried about herself, but about Lin Yi.

She knew Lin Yi's personality well. If Lin Yi got into trouble, he would do his best to resolve it and avoid implicating others.

Now, Lin Yi only warned her to be careful in her actions.

It's definitely not that Lin Yi is ignoring her; rather, it's that Lin Yi has lost the ability to solve the problem.

Just how powerful an enemy could be to make Lin Yi so wary?

Xiao Se couldn't help but worry about Lin Yi.

After a moment's thought, she replied, "I'm fine, don't worry. How's Dark Cloud?"

Lin Yi was stunned. Had the dark clouds come looking for me?

No!

Lin Yi quickly checked Wu Yun's status on the Demon-Slaying Manual. It turned out that the little guy had been lurking beside Xiao Se all along.

It seems that Xiao Se also wanted to drive away the dark clouds, but the dark clouds were reluctant to leave and stayed by her side.

Thinking of this, Lin Yi didn't expose Wu Yun, but simply replied, "Wu Yun is fine, just be careful."

Xiao Se: "..."

She didn't know how to reply to this message.

What she really wanted to ask was how Lin Yi was doing.

But since Wuyun is alright and he can still send her messages, it seems there's nothing wrong with him.

She certainly heeded Lin Yi's advice.

These are turbulent times, and she knows she must be careful in everything she does.

To achieve her imperial ambitions and break the curse, she was willing to risk her life!

After informing Xiao Se at the Crystal Palace, Lin Yi couldn't help but worry about Xiao Yue.

This is his own disciple, and also his most promising disciple.

Hey, why did I say "most"?

How many apprentices do I have?

Lin Yi suddenly realized that he seemed to have forgotten something very important.

He tried hard to recall, but his mind was like a fog, and he couldn't figure it out no matter what.

Just as they were about to break through the fog, Jiang Linglong suddenly spoke up: "Are you worried about Xiao Se and your apprentice?"

"Ah."

Lin Yi nodded, and the inspiration that had just been about to be broken suddenly dissipated.

Jiang Linglong was talking about something important, and Lin Yi's thoughts also turned to this matter.

"Do you have a solution?"

Lin Yi knew that Jiang Linglong must have something to say, which was why she asked that question.

Sure enough, Jiang Linglong said, "Actually, after I had that dream, a lot of strange things appeared in my mind, such as strategies, magic, martial arts, and array formations. They suddenly appeared in my mind."

Lin Yi: "..."

What I'm saying is, everyone around me is a cheater, right?

"I think there's a spell that you could use if you learned it."

"What spell?"

"The Divine Summoning Technique separates a portion of your soul and places it into a container. It is similar to the Doppelganger Technique, but it does not last long and its power is only about 30% of yours."

"Thirty percent is enough!"
