I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

Chapter 541 How did you know?

Upon hearing Wu Yun's words, Xiao Se's expression froze.

She was thinking that she hadn't seen Wuyun in a long time and wanted to get closer to her, but Wuyun's first words were farewell.

This cat clearly doesn't care about me!

"where are you going?"

"Go find Lin Yi."

Xiao Se: "..."

Last time I asked you to come, but you wouldn't go and secretly stayed home to cultivate yourself. This time, I didn't ask you to go, but you insisted on going. Are all cats a little rebellious?

Moreover, when did she become so concerned about Lin Yi?

The thought that dark clouds could take on a physical form filled Xiao Se with a strange feeling.

If... I mean if, what if Wu Yun and Lin Yi got together...

Xiao Se recalled the scene of Wu Yun playing with Lin Yi, with Lin Yi holding the small and cute Wu Yun while she watched from the side, like an outsider.

Wanting the dark cloud to come back, the dark cloud said, "Since you don't need my protection anymore, I'm not going home..."

The imagery is so vivid, it's already starting to break my heart.

This is a double betrayal!

But Xiao Se remained calm and asked, "Why do you suddenly want to go find him?"

"Of course there are reasons for this."

Dark Cloud sighed inwardly; this master was truly too difficult to manage.

He's good for nothing but jealousy, easily manipulated by a vixen, yet he harbors suspicions about his trusted subordinates.

What a tyrant! What a tyrant!

Life is tough, even a cat sighs.

"What reason?"

Xiao Se was determined to get to the bottom of this, and Wu Yun clearly didn't want to give this reason, which was why he had given evasive answers several times.

The more this was the case, the more curious she became.

Wu Yun simply said directly, "This reason is inconvenient to explain, Your Highness, please don't ask!"

Anyway, I'm just here to let you know, and I don't need your permission.

Xiao Se: "..."

I'm devastated.

She said dejectedly, "Go ahead."

Seeing her like this, Wuyun shook his head helplessly and then rubbed his fluffy little head against her trouser leg.

"Don't overthink it, I will come back. Your Highness carries a heavy responsibility, you must not be discouraged or dejected."

"dark clouds……"

Xiao Se was somewhat moved; Wu Yun still loved her after all.

"Oh, right, I'll take the 'couple' branch that Lin Yi gave you for now, I'll return it to you later..."

After saying that, the dark cloud turned into a black shadow and quickly disappeared.

Xiao Se: "!?!"

So this cat was thieving here?!

Xiao Se completely lost his composure.

Just then, Yan Qingqiu came over and saw her dejected appearance. He couldn't help but tease her, "Why do you look like your husband has been stolen? Cheer up, there are still tough battles ahead!"

"What tough battle?"

Xiao Se was still somewhat puzzled. The Northern Wei had already lost, its capital had been destroyed, and it could be declared a fallen kingdom. It was just that some lost territories had not yet been recovered.

However, given the strength of the three forces, the remnants of the Northern Wei would certainly not be able to hold out for long.

"The Northern Wei is gone, but the enemy is still here. Your cousin is very capable and highly regarded by Lin Yi, so she must have extraordinary abilities. As far as I know, Lin Yi likes this little apprentice the most."

"Don't say things that are detrimental to unity."

Xiao Se was a little annoyed. This vixen was clearly trying to sow discord, but she actually fell for it.

“I will not only talk, I will also act. Next, your enemy will not be the Northern Wei, but Xiao Yue’s Northern Qi army, and Liu Jian’s troops in the west who call themselves Zunqi.”

They were nominally a group, but their identities were those of rebels. We shouldn't even have cooperated in the first place, but now that the Northern Wei is gone, it's time to begin the process of suppressing the rebellion.

Is fighting absolutely necessary?

Xiao Se was somewhat unwilling.

She was happy to kill the people of Northern Wei, but Xiao Yue's troops and Liu Jian's troops were all Han Chinese, so why should they kill each other?

She didn't value imperial power. At worst, after the war, they could each establish their own territories and govern themselves. Why bother with all the fighting?

"Originally, we could have postponed it for a while, but that's no longer possible. This battle will inevitably begin within six months, otherwise, the consequences will be unpredictable."

Hearing Yan Qingqiu say this, Xiao Se understood.

The matter was of great importance, and she had to set aside her compassion for the time being.

"I'll leave everything to you. I'm going to cultivate."

"Go, your curse will soon be lifted."

Xiao Se: "..."

She wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but she always felt that of all the things Yan Qingqiu had said, the last sentence was what she really wanted to say.

Meanwhile, after leaving the capital, Wu Yun searched everywhere and finally found a mass grave.

What she is looking for are homeless, vengeful spirits.

“You are all pitiful people, but since you cannot be reborn in the Pure Land, your continued existence in this world will only cause you suffering and harm others. I will help you to be liberated!”

As the dark clouds gazed at the vengeful spirits, a ghostly green light shone from their eyes.

She is a Soul Eater, a natural nemesis of demons.

Wherever the light reached, the vengeful spirits wandering the desolate graveyard were swallowed by the green light, and wisps of yin energy began to emanate from Wuyun's body.

"If you want to leave the underworld, these wronged souls are not enough..."

Xiao Se only knew that Wu Yun was going to find Lin Yi, but he never expected that Wu Yun was going to the underworld to find Lin Yi.

This journey was extremely dangerous, but Wu Yun had no choice but to go.

She was sleeping soundly when a long-forgotten memory suddenly appeared in her mind—the cause and effect of the six-tailed cat's curse, and the real way to break the curse.

The baptism and suppression of dragon energy can indeed alleviate the effects of the curse, but it cannot eradicate it. Xiao Se has been emperor for so long, which has proven this point.

When she became empress, the curse naturally lost its effect on her, and she no longer needed to worry about those she trusted harming her.

However, the curse in her bloodline was not eradicated, meaning that if she had children, those children would also be cursed.

Moreover, the same method does not work on curses.

To break the curse, the cause and effect must be resolved first.

In the previous inherited memories, both she and Xiao Se only knew that Xiao Se's ancestor betrayed the Underworld and was therefore cursed, but they did not know the specific details of how the Six-Tailed Cat's ancestor betrayed the Underworld.

Only now, with the awakening of Wuyun's inherited memories, does she understand what happened.

The six-tailed cat is in charge of reincarnation and oversees all matters related to reincarnation.

But she used her authority and the power of wishing to send a person who was supposed to have their memories erased and re-enter the cycle of reincarnation out of the cycle of reincarnation, and that person has never been seen since.

This person transcends the Three Realms and crosses the River of Destiny; the Five Elements are difficult to define, and Yin and Yang are nowhere to be found.

If this person is of ordinary status, then their disappearance is simply a loss.

But he was a person with great karma. If the Six-Tailed Cat hadn't led his entire clan to escape to the human world, the clan would have been wiped out, and none of the clan members would have had a good ending.

They carried a curse on them in the human world, but at least it was passed down.

The Protectors are so loyal to the Six-Tailed Cat Clan that they left this secret in their inherited memories.

However, this part is too complex, and future generations will only be able to awaken to this content when certain conditions are met.

Everything in this world has a cause and an effect.

The six-tailed cat was burdened with a curse for ten thousand years because of that true spirit, and the opportunity to break the curse also lay with that person.

When the departed spirit returns, the opportunity to lift the curse arises.

The only way to truly break the curse is to send that true spirit back into the cycle of reincarnation.

Only when that true spirit approaches the gate of reincarnation will the inherited memories hidden within the bloodline awaken.

The guardians have this memory, but the Six-Tailed Cat clan does not.

Clearly, the original six-tailed cat ancestor never intended to completely resolve this cause and effect.

Even if the departed true spirit were to return, she would not want to send him back into the cycle of reincarnation.

If the younger generation sends that person back into the cycle of reincarnation in order to break the curse, wouldn't all the efforts of carrying this curse for ten thousand years have been in vain?

But the protectors are different.

Since they were loyal to the Six-Tailed Cat, they naturally left behind this hidden method to break the curse.

But how to choose between them is up to future generations.

When the inherited memories awakened, the dark clouds quickly locked onto the vanished true spirit.

Others may not know, but that true spirit was sent away together by the Six-Tailed Cat Ancestor and the Guardian Ancestor.

Therefore, the aura of that true spirit will always be remembered in one's bloodline. As long as this inherited memory is awakened, one can find him.

Wu Yun never expected that the true spirit would actually be Lin Yi.

After awakening to this memory, Wu Yun quickly locked onto the aura of the true spirit, and his feelings were complicated.
