She silently appeared in Lan Yu's shadow and told her about it.

Lan Yu responded calmly.

"Why don't we just kill them? The only ones who could do this to us, besides Lin Yi, are the immortals and gods from the upper realm."

"Makes sense."

Gu Tinglan: "..."

Sensing the looming killing intent behind her, she began to falter.

When Venerable Lingxi left, he clearly showed some suspicion towards her, and Lan Yu and the lurking Jueying behind him also seemed to have become suspicious of her because Venerable Lingxi had been there.

So both sides really see her as an enemy!

Gu Tinglan sighed deeply, walked to the edge of the execution ground, and watched a beheading spectacle.

It is understood that these monks are mostly ordinary people, not monks.

The monks were executed in a separate batch.

The evidence is conclusive that these monks were killed.

Before the execution, the officials read out the evidence of these people's crimes, which truly opened Gu Tinglan's eyes.

It was only then that she realized that the Buddhist community, which had always advocated benevolence and compassion, was actually such a den of iniquity.

But upon closer examination, it's not an exaggeration.

Even the Buddha would resort to despicable acts to contend with the Taoist sect, let alone these mortal monks?

Of course, Buddha did not give a direct order, but only gave a hint, so this matter cannot be attributed to Buddha on the surface.

But everyone knows the truth behind it.

"Amitabha……"

Gu Tinglan silently recited a Buddhist mantra, but her resolute heart suddenly wavered slightly...

Chapter 524 Ah Qi: This is too hard for me

Lin Yi happened to be present when Gu Tinglan was talking to Venerable Lingxi.

He had been following Venerable Lingxi all along, but Venerable Lingxi was completely unaware.

He did waste some time on Venerable Lingxi, but that didn't matter. He was going to spend some time getting used to his own power anyway, so following him along the way was just a way to hone his skills.

Every now and then, he can kill a few monks and earn some Taoist merit.

Lin Yi noticed that Gu Tinglan hadn't helped the monk, but of course he wouldn't hold it against her. He glanced at her and continued to follow Venerable Lingxi.

This tailing will probably continue for another two or three days, which is Lin Yi's final preparation stage.

He had already made up his mind that there were some places he was destined to explore.

While following Venerable Lingxi, he also took the opportunity to slay demons and monsters wherever he went.

His third eye can observe a vast range; he doesn't even need to go there in person. A single talisman can be sent out and a head will be taken.

However, despite such a large-scale massacre, his cultivation level increased very little.

With a discount of over sixty times, he didn't gain much skill.

Clearly, his strength has far surpassed that of the mortal realm, making this beginner's village unsuitable for him to hone his cultivation.

But this is not a game after all. Outside of the starting village, there is no transition phase, only three super large maps.

One is the realm of immortals, one is the realm of demons, and the other is the underworld.

By concentrating his senses, he can find the portals to the celestial realm and the underworld, and he has the ability to open them. However, what he will encounter after opening them is unknown.

Lin Yi originally wanted to proceed cautiously, but the Immortal Realm came with overwhelming force.

A million years of cultivation is probably not enough to face a Martial God.

Even if he killed all the demons and monsters in the human world, the extent to which he could improve would be very limited.

Since that's the case, he has no choice but to risk a trip to the underworld.

Before that, he planned to get himself into the best possible condition and properly arrange the people and things around him.

He will no longer pay much attention to Gu Tinglan.

Ah Qi saw his mindset and was pleased.

Originally, she felt that she would have no chance to turn things around before Hua Nianrou reopened the Abyss Demon Well, but when she saw Gu Tinglan again, she realized that her chance had come.

Lin Yi is truly a lucky star; I always encounter various opportunities when I'm around him.

Hua Nianrou is one of them, and Gu Tinglan is another.

Just now, she discovered a trace of demonic intent in Gu Tinglan's heart, which made Aqi overjoyed.

Gu Tinglan is a bodhisattva!

These Buddhists are most skilled at fighting demons. The reason why Buddhism was able to flourish after the war nine thousand years ago was because Buddhism was particularly adept at restraining demons.

They possess methods to seal demons, methods to guide demons, and can even use demonic tribulations to enhance their cultivation.

The biggest beneficiary of the emergence of the demon race is Buddhism.

However, everything in the world is subject to the laws of nature. Buddhism can restrain demons, but once a Buddhist becomes a demon, their destructive power will be even greater.

Buddhists often have very firm resolve, which prevents them from being misled by external demons. However, the firmer a person's resolve, the more easily they fall into demonic obstacles.

Once demonic energy arises, it becomes difficult to break free from it.

Clearly, the demonic energy in Gu Tinglan's heart was naturally generated and difficult to eradicate. If it were to grow stronger, Aqi had countless ways to do so.

Moreover, Gu Tinglan is not Lin Yi's woman, so her attack on Gu Tinglan is not considered a violation of her oath.

"I, Ah Qi, am truly destined to survive! Lin Yi, just you wait, one day I will show you the power of the Demon Ancestor!"

Speaking of the Demon Ancestor, Ah Qi felt a pang of sadness. While the other Demon Ancestors lived carefree lives, she, who was clearly one of the strongest Demon Ancestors, had now been reduced to being a slave to others...

"Having survived such a calamity, I am bound to have good fortune in the future. All the humiliation I endure now will become my strength in the future. Tremble, Lin Yi! Hahahaha..."

What are you laughing at?

Lin Yi was startled by Ah Qi.

Who knows why this idiot demon ancestor suddenly started laughing so exaggeratedly? It's quite frightening.

He quickly opened the Demon-Slaying Manual and learned that she had discovered the Buddha who had fallen into demonic possession. He was overjoyed and began to plan his revenge.

Lin Yi: "..."

This demon is indeed rebellious by nature. If it weren't for the fact that she had died at his hands too many times, and he was afraid of arousing her rebellious mentality, Lin Yi would have turned her into a Taoist priest by now.

"I was just thinking about happy things."

Ah Qi didn't expect that he would actually laugh out loud, so he quickly tried to brush it off.

Lin Yi smiled faintly and said, "The good news is that someone has fallen into demonic possession?"

Ah Qi's heart skipped a beat.

Lin Yi could also tell that something was wrong with Gu Tinglan?

How did he know?

Ah Qi's thoughts were in turmoil, but Lin Yi only wanted to give her a warning and didn't pursue the matter further. He simply said meaningfully, "You can be my follower in peace. You will be free one day."

If you're always thinking about how to turn things around, you might never escape my grasp in this lifetime. Understand?

Ah Qi's mind trembled violently. At this moment, she truly felt fear, as if Lin Yi could immediately use the method to suppress her.

"I understand."

People have to bow their heads under the roof.

Ah Qi is a pragmatic demon ancestor, quite cowardly.

"Don't scheme against Gu Tinglan anymore, just let things take their course."

"Yes."

Ah Qi was already frightened and dared not disobey in public, but she couldn't understand it.

As a demon within herself, she can silently spy on other people's thoughts, but her own thoughts are difficult for others to discern.

How did Lin Yi manage to do that?

She dared not let her imagination run wild until she figured out the problem.

On the other hand, Gu Tinglan was unaware that a demonic thought had arisen in her mind; she thought she was just thinking about a problem.

What is Buddha?

The one who has attained perfect merit is a Buddha.

Where does merit come from?

Do good deeds, accumulate merit, and subdue demons and monsters.

The stronger Buddhism becomes, the more demons it can eliminate; this is a meritorious act.

But can killing innocent mortals for the sake of Buddhism's prosperity be considered a meritorious act?

Moreover, did they really make Buddhism powerful just to subdue demons and monsters?

Considering that Lin Yi is surrounded by many monstrous talents, yet he can tolerate them, it's clear that in Lin Yi's heart, gods and Buddhas are more detestable than demons.

Was he wrong, or was I wrong?

Gu Tinglan couldn't find the answers to many questions.

From one perspective, Lin Yi was wrong.

But from another perspective, Buddhism is at fault.

If it were an ordinary person, when faced with a problem that they couldn't see clearly or understand, they might choose to skip it.

Things you can't understand now, you'll understand later.

The problem is fine to leave it here.
