I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

Now that they have obtained the power of this demon envoy, they will be even more powerful.

The Demon-Slaying Manual is as alluring as ever.

This is how it is in the human world: as long as you slay demons and eliminate evil, your cultivation will increase, regardless of whether the other party is good or evil.

Now that they're in the underworld, the temptation is even more pronounced.

In order to gain greater power, Lin Yi would naturally think of collecting the power of others.

Every god who holds power is an irreplaceable part, which is completely different from killing monsters to gain power.

For some demons that don't need to be completely exterminated, it's fine to leave them alone. There are so many demons in the world; you can gain cultivation just by killing one of them.

But it's different for gods who have seized power; without killing them, there's no way to synthesize them.

At that time, in Lin Yi's eyes, the gods would be nothing more than materials needed for upgrading.

Besides, the factions were already wrong, so killing him wouldn't be considered a crime.

This is a terrifying thing.

Previously, the Demon-Slaying Manual could distinguish between good and evil, but now, the merits and demerits of the immortals are mostly positive, which makes it impossible for Lin Yi to distinguish between good and evil.

Investigating each case carefully is too time-consuming and laborious, and there is still a possibility of wrongful conviction.

Lin Yi also worried that he would become a person who kills indiscriminately in the future, but in fact, his moral bottom line was also declining time and time again.

For example, his trip to the underworld was originally for the purpose of improving his cultivation and hunting.

What prompted him to make this decision was the pressure from the celestial realm, as well as the presence of judges and their ilk in the underworld who intended to invade the human world.

These are all genuine feuds.

However, those Yin commanders and Lin Yi were not acquainted before. When the two armies clashed, Lin Yi showed no mercy and every strike was deadly.

Today, talking about good and evil or morality feels like being a hypocrite while pretending to be virtuous.

Thinking of this, Lin Yi couldn't help but sigh softly.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Lingyi didn't know how to show concern for people, but seeing Lin Yi's expression sometimes solemn and sometimes wistful, she knew it wasn't a good sign.

Lin Yi shook his head and said, "It's nothing. Let's go and hide in the Abyss of Exile for a while."

The Abyss of Exile is filled with yin energy, and because it is a place of exile, it is teeming with resentment. Even immortals do not like to go there.

Only vengeful spirits whose minds have been consumed by obsession remain trapped in the Abyss of Exile.

Lin Yi thought they could go through there.

Although the formation has been destroyed, the space there may be relatively weak, and perhaps a passage back to the human world can be found.

"Let's go then!"

Ling Yi was very obedient and did not go against Lin Yi at this time.

Lin Yi couldn't help but ask curiously, "Who are you now?"

Lingling doesn't talk much; she's always been very quiet.

But Zero One, who is talkative and has a bad temper, would never be so well-behaved.

Lin Yi was also worried that the Goddess of Mount Tai might have done something to her, which is why she asked this question.

Upon hearing this, Zero One immediately became displeased and asked, "Who would you prefer me to be?"

Lin Yi: "..."

This was a difficult question to answer, so Lin Yi could only say, "I prefer you the way you are now, although the changes are quite significant. I wonder if the Goddess of Mount Tai did anything to you while you were there."

With that said, Lin Yi wouldn't offend anyone, whether the person in front of him was Zero or Zero One.

Zero One's lips curled up slightly, a hint of smugness in his heart.

Hmph, I'm just too lazy to act cute normally, but now that I'm a little more obedient, he likes me, doesn't he?

As for Lin Yi's concerns, Lingyi casually waved her hand and said, "She didn't do anything to me. She just treated me to good food for a few days and took me sightseeing."

Every night they would talk by candlelight, reminiscing about the past.

Lin Yi quickly identified the key elements.

"Talking late into the night by candlelight? You two sleep together every day?"

Oh, are you jealous?

Zero One was overjoyed, but pretended to be nonchalant and said, "Yeah, what's wrong with that?"

Unlike Lin Yi, she didn't have any strange knowledge in her mind.

Lin Yi couldn't help but cover his face. This silly girl probably didn't even realize she was being taken advantage of.

However, at most they would just sleep together and stick close; nothing more serious should happen, otherwise she wouldn't be so nonchalant.

After thinking it over, Lin Yi simply advised, "Don't sleep with her anymore."

The commanders of the guards of the Goddess of Mount Tai were all women, which shows that she liked girls. Even if she didn't have human desires, but just liked to be with pretty girls, it was still too much of a lesbian thing.

"Will there be another chance in the future? If you escape back to the human world, you wouldn't want to come back again, would you?"

Lin Yi shook his head; he wasn't sure if he would ever come back.

He just felt that he might not be able to get away so easily this time.

"Speaking of which, how did you open the gates to the underworld?"

After all this trouble, Lin Yi finally had the chance to ask Zero One about this.

Lingyi then truthfully recounted what he had said after meeting Zhang Jiao. Lin Yi couldn't help but feel secretly annoyed. Zhang Jiao was unethical; she had taken advantage of him and was now going to take advantage of Qianhuan Guiji.

He made a note of this debt.

I'll definitely have to settle this with her properly sometime in the future.

He didn't say anything at the time. Since things had come to this, he decided to find a way back to the human world first.

Lingyi was very dissatisfied with his behavior of stopping the conversation halfway through.

Why don't you keep asking me what happened at the Goddess of Mount Tai!

What if Lin Yi doesn't believe me if I bring it up myself?

Lingyi was annoyed, and her emotions were written all over her face.

"what happened?"

"nothing."

"Oh, then be careful. It shouldn't be difficult for those Yin spirits to find our tracks. Just stay close to me and avoid them."

Zero One: "..."

After a moment of silence, she finally gave in.

Lin Yi doesn't care about her at all.

"Aren't you curious about what story the Goddess of Mount Tai has been telling for so many days?"

Lin Yi: "..."

At this moment, the face of the Thousand Illusion Demon Princess seemed to say, "Come and ask me."

It has to be said that when Qianhuan Guiji isn't causing trouble, she's actually quite cute. Without that crazy and terrifying aura, Lin Yi noticed that her face is actually very delicate.

She was a beauty, but unfortunately she went mad before.

Fortunately, things are much better now.

Lin Yi thought about it and decided not to dwell on her mistakes because of the past. It's better to resolve conflicts than to let them fester. Let's just consider those things as the past!

It's not impossible for us to be friends now.

Lin Yi, in keeping with Zero One's wishes, asked, "What story did you tell?"

This tone sounds just like a father coaxing his daughter.

But Lingyi appreciated it; Lin Yi finally stopped speaking to her with a guarded and distant attitude.

She then smiled and began to summarize the story told by the Goddess of Mount Tai.

"It tells the love story of a kind and innocent fairy and a human emperor."

Lin Yi: "..."

Does the Goddess of Mount Tai also tell this kind of story?

Since they were already on their way, Lin Yi continued, "And then?"

"In order to marry a mortal, the fairy gave up her fairy bones and became a mortal herself, but that mortal was a philanderer and found a vixen outside."

Lin Yi: "..."

Now, whenever the terms "womanizer" and "vixen" are mentioned, he quickly identifies with himself.

But surely the Goddess of Mount Tai wouldn't tell his story?

"and then?"

"The fairy died of illness later!"

Zero One did want to tell the whole story, but she didn't have the time to tell it over several days and nights, so she could only focus on the key points. Besides, it was just a retelling of what someone else had told her, so it was normal to omit some things.

The Goddess of Mount Tai originally intended to use her to tell Lin Yi the whole truth about the struggle for destiny, but in the end, Ling Yi went back after hearing a love story.

The Goddess of Mount Tai, who was secretly observing, was so angry that she almost wanted to take action herself.

This old lady has become increasingly foolish and stupid ever since she lost her immortal bones; it's unbearable.

"Well, since he already knows about calamities and destiny, the truth of what happened back then isn't that important anymore."

In the eyes of the Goddess of Mount Tai, Lin Yi's life will be more dangerous than before.

Because the calamity of this life is more severe, the Immortal Realm has overcome the calamity several times, but it has also created an even greater momentum for the next calamity.

Unfortunately, few people in the immortal realm had the foresight to see this. They even thought that the calamity was nothing special because of their easy victory last time, and that the mortal realm was completely ruined.

Little did they know that resentment and injustice would lead to endless killings.
