I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

Such speed! It truly lives up to its name as "divine speed." Even Lin Yi almost didn't have time to react.

However, it was ultimately just a close call.

Lin Yi's reaction speed was no less than that of Zi Dian when he activated his divine speed. He had a general idea of ​​Zi Dian's strength from their previous encounters, so he was even more composed this time.

He dodged slightly, temporarily avoiding the attack, and then reached out and grabbed Zidian's spear.

"Give it to me!"

Lin Yi pulled hard, and Zi Dian, unable to overcome him, stumbled a step toward him. Then, Lin Yi kicked Zi Dian in the stomach, sending him flying and crashing to the ground.

The Purple Lightning Spear naturally fell into Lin Yi's hands. It was indeed a fine divine weapon, imbued with the power of wind and thunder. If he were to take it back and give it to Xiao Yue, it would be a good gift.

Unfortunately, with powerful figures watching over him, Lin Yi couldn't be too arrogant.

Otherwise, that kick just now wouldn't have sent Zidian flying, but would have turned him into a bloody mist.

Since his breakthrough in cultivation, Lin Yi's methods have become even more ruthless.

Zidian, still unconvinced after being driven back, was about to charge forward again when that clear, noble voice rang out once more.

"Enough! Get out of here!"

Zi Dian froze, realizing he had disgraced the Empress, but dared not disobey the Empress's decree. He could only lower his head and glare at Lin Yi with resentment.

Zi Dian was covered in golden armor, with only his eyes showing. When Lin Yi saw those eyes, a murderous intent immediately arose in his heart.

Although this is the horse of the Goddess of Mount Tai, if someone doesn't know what's good for them, he wouldn't hesitate to kill them.

Let's hold back for now and wait for another opportunity.

After the golden-armored general withdrew, the caravan quickly separated, and four strange beasts slowly walked forward, pulling the chariot.

These four strange beasts resembled lions and tigers, with two feet on their heads and scales on their bodies. They were like the legendary Qilin, but with some differences. However, they were all exceptionally handsome, powerful and majestic.

The four beasts pulled the cart through the air as if it were flat ground.

"You do have some skill, but if you think that no one here can deal with you, you are being far too arrogant."

The Goddess of Mount Tai did not get out of the car. Lin Yi could only vaguely see a delicate and graceful figure, and he did not dare to use his X-ray vision to look inside.

If the other party is resourceful enough to detect it, such an offense could make things more complicated.

Lin Yi retorted, "I had no intention of provoking anyone. I simply wandered into this place by mistake. Please do not misunderstand, Your Highness."

As long as I don't admit that I can level up by killing ghosts, no matter what, I must have accidentally stumbled in.

These words can only fool ghosts, but given the noble status of the Goddess of Mount Tai, she can't very well argue with him!

As expected, the Goddess of Mount Tai did not question Lin Yi's words, but simply said, "Although you have mistakenly entered the underworld, once you have arrived in this place, there is no reason for you to return on your own."

"If I leave you unattended, it will break the rules. Why don't you all return to the palace with me for now? When I next go to the Heavenly Palace to meet the Emperor, I will pass through the mortal realm and take you back. What do you say?"

Upon hearing this, the Ghost King thought to himself, "Just as I suspected."

Lin Yi's outburst at the Gates of Hell was so egregious that the Goddess of Mount Tai invited him back to the palace as a guest, her intentions were quite clear.

Clearly, Lin Yi is part of Lady Taishan's group; they're just putting on an act here!

It's pitiful that these underworld generals, though seemingly powerful, are no different from ants in reality.

At this moment, the Ghost King was filled with countless thoughts.

I once thought that being a Yin general was carefree enough, but now I realize how insignificant I am.

If there were a chance to climb up...

At this moment, everyone's attention, including that of ghosts and spirits, was focused on Lin Yi and the Goddess of Mount Tai. Naturally, no one noticed that the Ghost King's expression changed several times.

When the Goddess of Mount Tai showed her goodwill, Lin Yi did not oppose her, but simply asked, "I wonder when the Goddess will next pass through the human world?"

"Two hundred years later."

"..."

Lin Yi knew this was the trick.

He had never met the Goddess of Mount Tai before. The fact that the Goddess of Mount Tai, who held a high position and great power, showed him kindness was certainly not a simple matter.

Behind what appears to be a well-intentioned suggestion, one might be unaware of the huge pitfalls hidden.

If Lin Yi agrees, then under the guise of visiting the palace, it will actually be a two-hundred-year house arrest, which will also enhance his reputation.

If Lin Yi disagrees, then he is ungrateful. If the Goddess of Mount Tai were to capture him again, it would be in accordance with the will of the people and would not earn him a reputation for bullying the weak.

Just like in Journey to the West, when Buddha subdued the monkey, he could have just slapped him, but he still made the monkey do a somersault first.

Despite seeing through the other party's scheme, Lin Yi still decisively shook his head and said, "I can't wait that long, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

"So, you're saying we should forcibly break through this gate of hell?"

The Goddess of Mount Tai, though not angry, felt insecure. She did not deliberately unleash her divine power, yet Lin Yi still felt pressured.

A single wrong word could invite a thunderous wrath.

"I had no such intention; I was simply looking for another way out."

Lin Yi's answer was neither humble nor arrogant. He regarded the gods as enemies, but that did not mean he would fight them whenever he saw them.

If you can't beat her, you can only give in for now!

Upon hearing this, the Goddess of Mount Tai remained unperturbed and instead chuckled softly.

"It seems you are very confident in your abilities. Why don't you make a bet with me?"

If you can escape the illusion I have set up, I will open the gates of hell for you and send you back to the mortal world.

If you cannot, I will not blame you. You may simply serve under my horse for a hundred years, how about that?

Lin Yi: "..."

I've seen this plot before.

But upon hearing the words "illusion array," Lin Yi felt a sense of relief.

His eyes could see through all illusions; no matter how high the Taoist priestess of Mount Tai was, or how mysterious her supernatural powers were, she could not be stopped by his discerning eyes.

With that in mind, Lin Yi agreed.

Since things have been said to this extent, the Goddess of Mount Tai has already given him face. If he were to refuse again, it would be quite unseemly.

"It's a word."

"Then let's enter the battle!"

With a wave of her hand, the Goddess of Mount Tai instantly conjured up layers upon layers of palaces before Lin Yi's eyes. As far as the eye could see, it seemed to stretch for thousands of miles, with no end in sight.

Before him stood several towering pillars that seemed to reach into the clouds, with a plaque bearing the words: "Auspicious Purple Qi Comes from the East."

Seeing so many buildings appear out of nowhere, Lin Yi couldn't help but show a solemn expression.

His prized Tianmu Mountain seemed to lose its power in the face of these buildings.

These doorposts, they're definitely real, aren't they?

The palace that could appear with a mere wave of the hand seemed unreal.

"Please!"

Seeing Lin Yi hesitate, the Goddess of Mount Tai urged him on.

Lin Yi had no choice; things had come to this point, so he had to go through with it.

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I don't know how long I will be in the battle. I am only worried that my friend will be bullied outside. Please take care of him."

Lin Yi was referring to the Thousand Illusion Ghost Princess.

"Aren't you taking me with you?"

Qianhuan Guiji was shocked. She was just holding my hand a moment ago, and then she turned around and dumped me?

"You're no use coming with me, you should take care of yourself!"

Lin Yi patted her hand to comfort her, and the Goddess of Mount Tai also agreed, saying, "Go in peace, I will take care of your wife."

Lin Yi: "..."

This isn't my wife!

Fortunately, the Goddess of Mount Tai is a goddess, otherwise Lin Yi would never have entered this door.

But at this point, there was no need to argue over such a small matter, so he simply didn't refute it, but released Qianhuan Guiji and resolutely walked into the formation.

The Thousand Illusion Ghost Princess was furious and said angrily, "What do you mean it's useless for me to follow you? You look down on me like that!"

Lingling wasn't actually happy either, but she could still find things to cheer herself up and comfort herself.

"Actually, he just wanted to protect us!"

"That's true."

Zero One did not refute. She was radical, easily angered, and not very smart, but she was not ungrateful.

Lin Yi's attitude was indeed bad, but his intentions were for their sake.

If they had known they would be facing such a powerful deity right away, they shouldn't have come.

Zero Zero and Zero One trespassing into the underworld were certainly not there to cause trouble for Lin Yi.

They also have their own support.

Zero One went on a killing spree in the Avici Hell, possessing unparalleled strength. Now, she only has a little over ten thousand years of cultivation, because she paid too high a price to come out of the Avici Hell.

If she were to return to the underworld, she would possess the characteristic of immortality. If Lin Yi were truly surrounded by so many underworld soldiers, she would simply fight.

Having two souls in one body allows her to ensure she doesn't die on the spot.

And with each death, her strength increases dramatically.

Her strength didn't improve much in the mortal realm, but in the underworld, where yin energy was abundant, her power could grow in leaps and bounds.

This is also why she felt she could help Lin Yi.

Unexpectedly, this trip led them to the Goddess of Mount Tai. Even Lin Yi had to follow the Goddess of Mount Tai's advice, let alone her.

Now, she seems disobedient and has become a burden to Lin Yi.

Who knows how much Lin Yi might dislike her right now!
