I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

Unfortunately, this emperor was utterly incompetent, and the Han people were all incredibly unreasonable.

How did they come together?

Shouldn't the correct script involve some internal strife first?

In this way, the immortal realm will have enough time to support new powerful figures to rise to power.

Unfortunately, the situation is now set, and the extermination of the foreign race is inevitable, so he might as well use the fate of this barbarian emperor to do something more.

With a wave of his hand, Venerable Lingxi extracted the soul of the Northern Wei emperor, and drew his blood essence into a small jade bottle.

The Northern Wei emperor suddenly turned into a dried corpse, and no one knew who did it. The palace maids who were accompanying the music and dance were terrified and ran around in panic, crying out.

Seeing this, Lin Yi did nothing.

The people he protects do not include these barbarians.

He simply didn't understand what the Venerable Lingxi meant by the evil dragon, or what it meant to make a special trip to kill an emperor.

However, the truth is probably just around the corner.

Lin Yi continued to follow Venerable Lingxi. Not far from Luoyang, Venerable Lingxi arrived at the banks of the Yellow River.

If viewed from above, the Yellow River truly resembles a giant dragon winding and lying on the earth, and Luoyang is located near the heart of this dragon.

The Venerable Lingxi's choice of this location was certainly not arbitrary.

He wants to dig a dragon-locking well here to immobilize the divine dragon and ensure that the demon has nowhere to hide.

Lingxi Venerable can be considered to be able to take things in stride.

He was certain that he was being targeted by Gu Tinglan and the Taoist immortals in the mortal realm, and was destined to fail, so he decided to focus on his main task for the time being.

I don't believe they would have the guts to stop him from setting up the Dragon Locking Well.

After he finishes dealing with things here, he will report to Buddha and give Gu Tinglan a good dressing down. Then he'll see how she'll explain herself to Buddha.

The location of the Dragon-Locking Well has been chosen, and the soul and blood of the evil dragon have been prepared. All that is needed is to dig a deep pit here and bury thousands of people, so that the evil energy can be used to destroy the spirituality of this place.

It just so happens that there have been many battles recently. It wouldn't be too difficult for him to steal some corpses from the battlefield.

With that thought in mind, Venerable Lingxi set off to dig a pit by the Yellow River.

But when he got to the water's edge, he saw a woman fishing there, but he didn't sense any danger from her.

Lingxi Venerable couldn't help but feel nervous.

When he arrived here, he didn't see anyone at first glance.

Now that a woman of unknown character has appeared, he can't help but feel a little scared.

"This humble monk is Lingxi. May I ask which fellow Daoist is fishing here?"

Venerable Lingxi was genuinely worried that the person opposite him was a protector of the mortal realm; to be honest, it was a bit frightening.

The woman then lifted her straw hat, revealing her gentle, dignified, and loving face.

You can call me Zhang Jiao.

Zhang Jiao's appearance is reassuring; the more she is unsealed, the more kind she looks.

Venerable Lingxi also lowered his guard and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhang, could you please find another place to fish? This humble monk has some things to do here, and I'm afraid it might startle your fish."

"It's alright, the fish I wanted has already taken the bait."

After saying that, Zhang Jiao put away her fishing rod. When Lingxi Venerable looked at it, he saw that the fishhook was straight.

How can you catch fish with such a hook?

Perhaps she wasn't fishing for fish, but for me?

Chapter 526 The Authority to Go to the Underworld

Upon hearing Zhang Jiao's words, Venerable Lingxi immediately tensed up and prepared for battle, but was also ready to flee at any moment.

He couldn't sense any aura from Zhang Jiao, which probably meant that her strength was far above his own, causing him to lose his will to fight.

Lin Yi, who was following behind, was also a little nervous. Was she trying to hook me?

Unsure, let me take another look.

"What do you mean by that, fellow Daoist?"

Venerable Lingxi held one hand behind his back, clutching a rosary.

He was ordered to come to the mortal world in a time of crisis. How could Buddha not give him something to protect himself? If he were killed by the protectors of the mortal world, wouldn't all the efforts of the celestial realm have been in vain?

With these prayer beads, one can invoke the Buddha's power to empower oneself, enough to sweep away all enemies.

But there is only one of these beads, and he will not use it unless absolutely necessary.

Only the cards you hold in your hand are truly your trump cards; once you play them, you have nothing left to rely on.

Even if he killed the woman in front of him, it wouldn't do him any good.

Noticing his nervousness, Zhang Jiao smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, I'm not here to kill you, I just came to see you."

Venerable Lingxi: "..."

Are you alright?

What's so interesting about me?

Lin Yi was even more puzzled. What was wrong with Zhang Jiao?

Did she say something similar to herself a few days ago?

Is he just bored after being locked up for too long and wandering around aimlessly?

Lin Yi was never sure of Zhang Jiao's stance, whether she was loyal or treacherous, and he had always been somewhat wary of her. Now, his vigilance had reached its peak.

She has grand ambitions, but it's unclear what exactly she's plotting.

Venerable Lingxi felt a little relieved. Strong people generally don't break their word. If they said they wouldn't kill him, they probably wouldn't turn around and launch a sneak attack.

But he still didn't put the prayer beads down, lest an accident occur.

"Why do you wish to see me, fellow Daoist?"

"It's not that I want to see you, it's that you have several old friends who want to see you."

"???"

Venerable Lingxi was even more bewildered, saying, "In the mortal realm, where are there any old friends?"

"There are none in the human world, but there are a few in the underworld. I've come to take you to meet them."

Venerable Lingxi: "..."

So you don't want to kill me, you're just sending me to the underworld, but you still want to kill me?

Upon realizing that something was wrong, Venerable Lingxi immediately tried to crush his prayer beads, but he was shocked to find that he was completely unable to move, and could not even crush the prayer beads.

Zhang Jiao's voice remained gentle as she said, "Don't be nervous. You have friends in the underworld. You can catch up with them. Also, you can pass on a message to the Lord of the Underworld for me."

"hiss……"

Venerable Lingxi gasped.

What kind of terrifying being is this?

She was actually able to have a direct conversation with that person?

He keeps calling himself a fellow Daoist, how dare he!

To the astonishment of Venerable Lingxi, Zhang Jiao waved her hand, and a dark door suddenly appeared behind him, accompanied by howling winds.

Immediately afterwards, the portal opened wide, and with a wave of Zhang Jiao's hand, Venerable Lingxi was sucked into it. Then the portal closed tightly, and the portal disappeared, as if Venerable Lingxi and the portal had never existed.

Lin Yi, witnessing this, was even more astonished.

He could sense that it was indeed the gateway to the underworld, but what was terrifying was that the gateway wasn't originally there.

If Zhang Jiao had simply forced open a passage to the underworld, that wouldn't be anything special; Lin Yi could have done that too.

But Lin Yi clearly sensed that she had instantly moved the underworld portal, which was originally located at the foot of Mount Tai, to her front, and after sending the person away, she sent the portal back.

What kind of tactic is this?

Lin Yi, in any case, couldn't do it.

Both the Heavenly Gate and the Ghost Gate are in fixed positions. Forcibly changing the position of the portal is a power that Lin Yi cannot imagine at his current level.

While he was still in shock, Zhang Jiao smiled and explained, "Don't be too surprised. It's just a little bit of the use of power. In terms of strength, I am not as good as you right now."

Lin Yi: "..."

Clearly, this was said to him, and he was probably discovered from the start.

This made Lin Yi completely disbelieve Zhang Jiao's nonsense.

How did someone less capable than me discover me?

You're kidding me!

But now that he'd been discovered, there was no point in hiding any longer, so he decided to show himself and come out.

"Miss Zhang, it's been a long time."

"It hasn't been long, but your cultivation has improved quite a bit."

Zhang Jiao's words were loaded with meaning, as if she had discovered the secret behind Lin Yi's rapid level-up.

In fact, as Lin Yi's cultivation level improved at an increasingly exaggerated pace, the people around him gradually noticed this fact, but no one said it directly.

Everyone tacitly chose to selectively ignore it.

You just focus on getting promoted; leave the pretending to be stupid to us.

Lin Yi took Zhang Jiao's hint in stride.

"I was lucky and had a few more moments of sudden enlightenment."

Lin Yi pretended to be perfunctory, but no matter what others said, he would not admit to the idea of ​​leveling up by killing people, nor would he admit to the existence of the Demon-Slaying Manual.

Zhang Jiao didn't intend to expose Lin Yi; she just wanted to give him some hints.
