I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

So he simply brought Xiao Yue along.

However, before that, Xiao Yue first went to appease the garrison. The battle just now had a small impact area, but the commotion was not small either.

Lin Yi noticed that Xiao Yue's army was full of energy and spirit. With just simple training, everyone's morale seemed to be united, like a lurking wolf king.

If it doesn't move, it's fine; but if it does, it will be a massive offensive.

However, even with such a powerful army, Xiao Yue was still not very effective against the gods.

It is clear that there are limits to the power of numbers.

When an individual's power reaches a certain level, even a massive army cannot stop them.

Therefore, a first-rank official who can be restricted by the military is still too weak. Although he is called a celestial master by mortals, he is actually not extraordinary and is still among the mortals.

Only those who surpass the first rank can be considered to have truly become immortals.

But at this moment, Lin Yi also gained a deeper understanding of the difference between humans and immortals.

Even the most extraordinary immortals are nothing more than powerful humans who broke free from the shackles of heaven and earth and evolved into their form.

According to this conjecture, could it be that there were originally no immortals in the world, only evolved humans?

Because of their increased strength, evolved humans naturally no longer want to mingle with ordinary people.

And since they controlled immense power, they naturally became the rulers.

Once Lin Yi got into this wild idea, he almost couldn't stop.

There's not much point in having such wild ideas, since unverifiable assumptions aren't very practical.

Xiao Yue quickly arranged the relevant matters for the stationed troops, and then set off with Lin Yi.

Lin Yi used a wind-riding technique and flew directly towards Chang'an City.

A quarter of an hour was enough for Jueying to travel from Tongguan to Chang'an. Lin Yi was also fast; he rode the wind and, even with someone with him, it didn't take him long to land in Chang'an.

"Come out, I've found you."

Lin Yi stood at the city gate and spoke to the shadow of a tree.

This is Jueying's arrogance.

She didn't even go to crowded places in the city; in crowded places, she could easily hide in any shadow.

Her abilities are not just hidden in the shadows.

For her, completely replacing someone's shadow, or even replacing a person, was an easy task.

But she didn't do that; she simply used the most basic supernatural power to hide in the shadows.

But how did Lin Yi discover it?

She clearly didn't let out a single trace of her presence.

Jueying had no idea that Lin Yi possessed such an overpowered ability. He didn't need to leak his aura or leave any traces; as long as he appeared in front of Lin Yi, he would be tracked and locked onto by the Demon-Slaying Manual.

The Demon-Slaying Manual is bound to Lin Yi's soul. Even if Lin Yi's physical body is in Xiangzhou, he can still use the Demon-Slaying Manual here.

"Are you still not coming out? Do you think I'm bluffing you?"

Seeing that Jueying had not yet appeared, Lin Yi said another sentence.

Now, Jueying could no longer hide. She crawled out of the shadows under the tree, revealing the outline of a shadow, but not completely.

How did you find me?

"I'll tell you after you get caught three times."

In fact, even if Lin Yi had captured Jueying three times, he wouldn't have told her the truth. However, now she could start making up stories.

Seeing that Lin Yi remained silent, Jueying let out another cold snort.

This girl has a bad voice; she probably hums too much.

"This time, I won't let you find it so easily."

Having learned from this defeat, Jueying dared not underestimate his opponent again.

She darted into the city and wandered around. She saw a delicate yet charming girl and immediately slipped into her shadow.

Jueying chose to possess the body of a beautiful girl because he was reminded of his past.

She was once beautiful, but...

Hatred burned in her heart, but whenever she began to hate, shackles would bind her tightly.

In order to avoid making things difficult for herself, she had to learn to let go.

Those high and mighty beings probably think that this method can make people let go of their hatred!

But some hatred cannot be erased; the longer it is endured, the deeper the hatred becomes.

Jueying controlled himself, suppressed his emotions, and quietly hid in the shadows, without doing anything out of line.

She is now just an ordinary shadow.

However, she was unaware that the pretty woman she randomly picked and went inside had an unusual relationship with Lin Yi.

This delicate yet charming girl is Hua Nianrou.

I spent a lot of time and energy drawing late into the night recently, and almost lost my life.

But she had no regrets. She felt that she could do something for the Han people of the world, and she would die without regrets.

Anyway, she's not going to live much longer.

It's just a pity that I can't see Lin Yi again.

She was lucky, because a friend of Lin Yi happened to come to Chang'an. Upon learning of her past relationship with Lin Yi, he stepped in and pulled her back from the brink of death, and also temporarily suppressed the cold, malevolent energy within her body.

They were truly pulled back from the brink of death.

She felt as if her soul had left her body and she had wandered into a forbidden and terrifying place. Suddenly, a hand grabbed her back, and she miraculously came back to life.

After being resurrected, she was no different from a living person, except that she was told to bask in the sun more often to dispel the yin energy.

Having nothing to do today, and with the city bathed in bright sunshine, she decided to take a stroll. Little did she expect that an immortal assassin with 80,000 years of cultivation would slip into her shadow.

After wandering around the city for a while, Hua Nianrou was about to go back when she suddenly heard a voice behind her that haunted her dreams.

"Pretty girl!"

Hua Nianrou froze, slowly turned around, and saw Lin Yi not far behind her, and Xiao Yue next to Lin Yi.

It seemed that no one else had noticed Xiao Yue's presence, otherwise everyone would have been so indifferent.

When Hua Nianrou saw Lin Yi, she wished she could fly over and throw herself into his arms immediately.

However, their relationship hadn't reached that point yet, and Hua Nianrou was rather reserved.

She smiled sweetly and said gently, "You're back."

The joy and excitement in his heart were written all over his face, and no amount of restraint could change that.

Xiao Yue glanced at her, secretly on guard.

Another vixen is eyeing my master!

Chapter 489 I definitely won't like this kind of man

"Hey beautiful girl, it's been so long! Why didn't you say hello?"

Seeing that Hua Nianrou only had eyes for Lin Yi, Xiao Yue felt a pang of sadness and couldn't help but tease her.

Hua Nianrou's face flushed red immediately, and she quickly said, "General Xiao, please let me explain..."

Explanation is actually sophistry.

Hua Nianrou couldn't think of a good reason to explain why she only noticed Lin Yi and ignored Xiao Yue, and she coughed in a hurry.

Lin Yi quickly reassured her, "Alright, alright, she was just joking with you, don't take it to heart."

It's been a long time since I've seen you. You seem to be in poor health again. Have you been overworking yourself lately?

Speaking of this, Xiao Yue was a little embarrassed.

Hua Nianrou worked tirelessly behind the scenes to support her career, becoming so exhausted that she nearly lost her life. It was truly inappropriate for her to verbally harass Hua Nianrou out of jealousy.

However, she couldn't easily apologize for this, as an apology would be too obvious. So she could only suppress her guilt and silently remind herself of her own shortcomings.

I already have five teachers' wives, why would I be afraid of having one more?

Why not encourage Hua Nianrou to go first, and then use that as leverage to threaten Lin Yi?

Master, you wouldn't want your mistress to find out that you're keeping a vixen outside, would you?

The thought of such a scene actually made Xiao Yue a little excited.

Hua Nianrou only woke up suddenly when Lin Yi took her pulse.

My master belongs to me alone; how can I share him with others!

That thought I had just had was really foolish. If she wanted to seduce her master, she might as well do it herself!

Hua Nianrou is too frail to accomplish anything significant.

In just a few minutes, one idea after another popped into Xiao Yue's head.

She's not usually an unintelligent person, but she was blinded by love, and all sorts of muddled thoughts started popping into her head.

Lin Yi took Hua Nianrou's pulse and found that her body was cold and her pulse was weak. The coldness was a symptom she had before, and now she was also in a state of being absent-minded.

In other words, it means being restless and uneasy.

It seems that Hua Nianrou has recently been seriously ill, which is why she is so weak.

Treating her has become an urgent matter.

"Wasn't Miss Hua quite ill recently?"

Hua Nianrou nodded and said, "That time was indeed quite dangerous. Fortunately, Young Master Lin's friend was in Chang'an City, which saved my life."

Xiao Yue: "??!"

You promised to only tell me your real name? How did she know it too?
