I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

Lin Yi countered, "Everyone says that King Zhou was a tyrant, cruel and tyrannical. Does that mean the history books are all lies?"

"History books do not lie, but they are ultimately written by the victors. They say that King Zhou subjected his ministers to extreme punishments and was cruel, but they do not mention what he did that angered both heaven and man."

They wrote that King Zhou was warlike and cruel, and that he slaughtered prisoners of war, but they did not mention that prisoners of war rebelled many times, nor did they mention that foreign tribes frequently invaded the border.

Admittedly, King Zhou killed many people, including many immortals. He slaughtered millions of living beings, forged an unparalleled and deadly sword, and even organized and launched the War of Immortal Demise.

The battle of immortals and demons was so fierce that it changed the color of heaven and earth, the sky bled, all spirits knelt in submission, and heroes were beheaded. History will not record his power, but only his final defeat.

He wouldn't keep records, and from beginning to end, he was always surrounded by many loyal and outstanding individuals.

He was fine in every way, it's just a pity he was a loser.

Once the topic of King Zhou came up, Jueying couldn't stop talking. She probably didn't even realize that she was getting a little emotional and was eager to speak out for King Zhou.

It's clear that her buttocks are crooked.

Lin Yi understood that he only lacked an opportunity to turn Jueying against his own side. This matter shouldn't be rushed; it was better to plant a seed first.

Lin Yi said slowly, "It seems that you greatly admire this King Zhou?"

"If you met him, you would also be captivated by him."

Jueying was completely unaware that there was anything wrong with his attitude; he was probably just giving up.

Before she was punished, she was naturally careful not to reveal her thoughts, but now that she had been punished for so many years, she was facing enemies of gods and immortals.

If I don't speak freely at this moment, there's no point in living.

Originally, for the third question, she only needed to answer with a casual remark. Before Lin Yi made the bet, he did not require her to explain everything she knew in detail.

To sum it up would be an answer.

However, Lin Yi, a master of schemes, was not about to let her off so easily.

Seeing her so highly praising King Zhou, Lin Yi said calmly, "Really? I don't believe it."

Jueying: "..."

Upon hearing those six words, the fire in her heart surged.

Anger leads to impulsiveness.

When Jueying got angry, she started arguing with Lin Yi.

"You don't believe it because you don't understand the story of that era. You don't know how difficult it was for King Zhou to lead mortals in a war against Heaven during that glorious era."

The celestial realm named it the War of Immortal Demise, but it was also a war in the mortal realm to overthrow the heavens. Objectively speaking, it should be called the War to Protect the Fate of the Mortal Realm.

It was not the human king who initiated the war, but the immortal realm.

However, in human history, there are no records of the celestial realm, but rather of normal dynastic changes.

King Wu of Zhou, Ji Chang, relieved the people's suffering and punished the guilty, replacing the Shang dynasty and establishing the Zhou dynasty.

But in reality, without the help of so many immortals and gods, King Wu of Zhou would not have been able to defeat the fierce and tyrannical Shang Dynasty ruler.

What appears to be a battle between two human dynasties is actually a battle between the guardians of human destiny and traitors from the celestial realm and the human world.

To persuade Lin Yi, Jueying recounted in detail many secrets from back then that were unknown to others.

The storyline is largely the same as the historical records Lin Yi has read, so it seems that the historical records are indeed not fabricated. However, in Jueying's description, the historical records clearly have many instances of embellishment, downplaying King Zhou's goodness and exaggerating his evil.

For example, regarding the favoritism shown to the wicked concubine, she ultimately died alongside King Zhou.

Furthermore, in Jueying's description, the war against Heaven, which was led by King Zhou, should have been won by the mortal realm. King Zhou and his peerless, malevolent sword almost turned the mortal realm into a forbidden zone for immortals and gods.

However, for some unknown reason, the evil sword suddenly went out of control and turned against its master.

Having lost his divine weapon and greatly weakened, King Zhou was ultimately killed by his own sword amidst the siege of dozens of Venerables and several immortals and gods above the Venerable level.

Seeing that King Zhou's power was waning, the concubine did not flee alone, but instead committed suicide out of love.

After listening to Jueying's story, Lin Yi felt as if he were watching a version of Investiture of the Gods from King Zhou's perspective, and this was an enhanced version of King Zhou.

"I have another question: Did King Zhou really flirt with Nuwa?"

Jueying: "..."

She dared not answer that question.

The look in her eyes as she looked at Lin Yi was one of utter shock.

How dare you address that person by their honorific title?

How dare you?

Do you not want to live anymore?

With a flash, Jueying retreated to a distance of a hundred feet from Lin Yi.

She was worried that a bolt of lightning might strike her and affect her.

If an ordinary person were to offend the goddess Nuwa with their words, the matter would likely just pass by.

The Empress is tolerant and won't hold grudges against humans.

For someone of a certain status and level of expertise to speak of Nuwa so disrespectfully is tantamount to courting death.

To be honest, she was also very curious about the question Lin Yi asked, but just because she knew a lot of things didn't mean she knew everything.

Nuwa truly didn't know whether King Zhou had flirted with her.

Some say he flirted with her, while others say he didn't.

To Jueying's surprise, even though she had stepped aside for quite some time after Lin Yi said those words, nothing had happened.

The sky remained clear, and the wind remained calm.

This……

Perhaps this isn't offensive?

Lin Yi asked curiously, "Why did you suddenly run so far?"

Jueying looked around suspiciously for a long time, and only after confirming that there was no danger did she breathe a sigh of relief and say, "Didn't you try? Some beings' names, titles, and anything directly related to them are unspeakable."

"why?"

"He is watching you the moment you speak."

Being noticed by that kind of entity is not a good thing.

Such a huge karmic consequence is beyond their level of cultivation to bear.

"That scary?"

Lin Yi didn't dare to do anything reckless, and thankfully, nothing happened this time.

You should be more careful in the future; don't get arrogant just because you've gained some skills.

He is invincible among men, but fears enemies from the heavens.

He was no match for any enemy from the ground, let alone the legendary, high and mighty gods.

He could probably kill someone with just a glance from afar.

"Anyway, just be more careful in the future."

Distracted like this, Jueying realized that she had revealed too many secrets, including all the inside stories of that battle of destiny.

In this war, the Celestial Realm is not on a righteous and glorious side.

However, once it's said, it's impossible to take it back.

Jueying gave up entirely.

"What I'm telling you today, you'd better not tell anyone, or it will only bring them disaster."

Lin Yi nodded; of course he knew about this.

He brought two people with him, but after landing, he sealed their hearing so they wouldn't hear any secrets.

"A new round of struggle for destiny is about to begin. You'd better watch yourself. Now that you know so many secrets, they won't let you off the hook, and neither will your disciple. Since they made me come once, they'll make me come a second time."

I may fail in my assassination attempt, but there's no guarantee there won't be others. That's all I have to say; farewell.

"Thank you very much, Miss Jueying. I see that you are also suffering in your own way. If you ever need any help in the future, just call me and I will do my best to assist you."

Jueying was touched upon hearing this.

However, her desire to break free of her shackles is not something a mortal immortal can interfere with.

"No need, it's better if we don't get too close."

After saying that, Jueying disappeared right in front of Lin Yi.

Lin Yi was in a daze for a long time before finally breaking the seal on Xiao Yue and Hua Nianrou.

Xiao Yue couldn't hear it, but she could see it.

Just now, Lin Yi stared at Jueying for a long time!

Chapter 491 Misfortune of the Sect

Upon hearing the voice again, Hua Nianrou showed no dissatisfaction.

Knowing that Lin Yi had used a method to block her hearing, she was curious about what Lin Yi had said to someone, but she didn't ask.

Xiao Yue was different; although she didn't ask, her eyes were full of accusation.

Lin Yi didn't know if she was accusing him of blocking her hearing, or because she had been talking to Jueying for too long.

In short, this apprentice has a problem with her thinking and needs to be properly reshaped.

However, as the person involved, neither a tough nor a soft approach will necessarily yield a good result.

The best approach would probably be to put it aside for now and let Xiao Yue's enthusiasm cool down.

Once she dedicates herself to her career, she probably won't think about romantic relationships so much anymore.

Seeing the girl's resentful gaze, Lin Yi had no choice but to ignore it.

Alas, what a misfortune for our sect!

"Miss Hua, this matter is settled, let's go back!"
