I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

Since we're caught in a dilemma, instead of getting caught up in it and worrying, we might as well just take a gamble.

Little did Lin Yi know that he was outsmarting thin air, a result of his persecution complex.

In reality, it was just that the Ghost King and his companions deliberately came to this godforsaken place to avoid him.

There was nothing to patrol for; it was clearly an inspection to arrest people. The Ghost King and a group of Yin Gods released their Yin God aura throughout the entire process, constantly announcing their presence.

It felt like it was telling Lin Yi, "Don't come here."

It's no wonder Lin Yi was suspicious; who would unleash their divine power from such a great distance? This was clearly Sima Yi encountering the Empty City Stratagem.

If you don't go in and take a look, how will you know what's inside?

Sima Yi, facing an empty city, knew that playing it safe would ensure he wouldn't lose, but Lin Yi's situation was different.

If you don't find a way to survive, you'll only die.

In this situation, Lin Yi had no choice but to face death.

Let's go!

Upon hearing that they needed to prepare for battle, Zero One perked up completely. But seeing how excited she was, Lin Yi quickly held her down.

This must be Zero One.

Zero Zero is more cautious and will consider the enemy's strength before taking action.

During this time, Lingyi has eaten a lot of good things from the Goddess of Mount Tai. The Goddess of Mount Tai carefully selected these things, which can enhance the spirit and inspiration, and have no side effects.

In just a few days, Lingyi's cultivation level increased several times over.

But while tens of thousands of years of cultivation can make one rampage in the human world, in the underworld one is merely a small fry.

This is because spiritual cultivation is only a measurement standard, not the actual number of years one lives.

The spiritual and yin energy in the human world is far inferior to that in the underworld, so the ghosts and gods in the underworld naturally cultivate much faster. Moreover, the ghost soldiers are backed by the gods of the underworld, so they don't have to worry about various disasters. The level of cultivation of ghosts is dozens of times higher than that of humans.

With Zero-One's strength, he could at most fight one ghost soldier in a one-on-one battle; he definitely couldn't beat more than that.

Lin Yi only asked her to stay hidden and not be targeted.

This made Zero One very unhappy. She used to be invincible in Hell. If she hadn't given up most of her soul power to leave that hellish place, she wouldn't have been bullied by some lowly soldiers.

In an instant, Zero's desire to become stronger soared to unprecedented heights.

After calming her down, Lin Yi carefully made his way towards the Ghost King's patrol team.

Even if you're going to charge in, you need to be strategic.

He can do it stealthily, so there's no need for a direct confrontation.

Coincidentally, among these people patrolling the Abyss of Exile, there was a Ghost King named Lin Yi with whom he had exchanged glances.

This person might be Zhang Jiao's mole. Now that he's in trouble, if Zhang Jiao doesn't lend a hand, he shouldn't blame her for being ruthless.

Not everyone can use him as a pawn; we can only help each other.

If you take advantage of him too much, he will get angry.

At this moment, the Ghost King was unaware that Lin Yi had taken him as one of his own. After swaggering around and inspecting the area, he arranged for people to rest on the spot and went back to his sedan chair to rest.

Anyway, as the Ghost King, he had basically reached the limit of his divine position.

Over the years, he has come to see through the futility of hard work and struggle.

Do you want a promotion?

Above the Ghost King is the King of Hell, and above the King of Hell is the Ghost Emperor. These positions can only be attained through strength and background.

Since there's no chance of promotion, why bother trying?

As long as you don't make any mistakes, wouldn't it be nice to just lie low in the position of Ghost King?

When dealing with a ruthless person like Lin Yi, the best approach is to muddy the waters and try to get away with it.

The Yin spirits who experienced that battle were also clever and learned from others. They could see the Yin spirit aura here from afar, which was very intimidating.

Although the evil spirits of the Exile Abyss were fierce, they dared not approach again upon sensing the aura of the Yin God and all hid away.

After all, the Yin Gods here represent the entire fighting force of the Yama Palace. The six remaining Yin Generals are all here, as are the four judges, along with other judges of all ranks and soul-collecting ghost messengers. Even ghosts without any intelligence would instinctively back down in the face of such a lineup.

With the gods united, the resentment in this place had little effect on them, and the Ghost King discovered that the scenery here was actually quite nice.

At least, before Lin Yi left the underworld, he wanted to stay here and not return to the Yama Palace.

"I hope I'll never see him again..."

The Ghost King prayed silently in his heart, but his wish came true in the opposite way.

Lin Yi quietly led Zero One to the Ghost King's camp. The Ghost King was resting in a temporary tent, so Lin Yi went straight there.

They carefully hid along the way, and no one noticed them.

Upon arriving at the Ghost King's camp, the Ghost King wouldn't have been able to detect him unless he actively released his aura.

Upon seeing Lin Yi appear, the Ghost King was stunned and nearly suffered a cardiac arrest.

If he has one.

But a god is a god after all; he didn't lose control and scream in terror, but quickly came to his senses.

The fact that Lin Yi was able to infiltrate his side before revealing himself shows that it wasn't that he couldn't continue, but rather that he didn't have much killing intent towards him.

Since that's the case, he can naturally talk to Lin Yi.

If he makes a scene, he'll definitely die.

Calling for help is pointless anyway, so it's better not to shout; maybe there's still a glimmer of hope.

The Ghost King's gamble paid off. Lin Yi came to him to make contact, so of course he wouldn't kill him casually.

Seeing the Ghost King's calm expression, Lin Yi became even more certain of his guess.

The Ghost King must have known his identity, otherwise he wouldn't have shown any hostility. He's definitely the mole.

Ghost King: Thank you, I was so scared my face froze.

Although Ghost King was Zhang Jiao's mole, Lin Yi didn't consider him one of his own, so he still spoke with some hostility, saying, "You should know why I've come."

"..."

The Ghost King was devastated. How could I have known that this villain had come knocking on my door?

But he dared not not guess, because if he said he couldn't guess, Lin Yi would just chop him up with a knife, and then he would have nowhere to cry.

Using his little brain to think, the Ghost King quickly came up with a guess.

Lin Yi has now offended the Goddess of Mount Tai, so he must be eager to leave the underworld as soon as possible.

When Lin Yi was on the verge of death, he also wanted to leave.

But what could he possibly do?

The only way to leave the underworld is to pass through the Gates of Hell.

There used to be a hidden island in the Abyss of Exile, which seemed to have some connection with the human world, but it was a forbidden area for the gods, and anyone who stepped into it would die on the spot.

He didn't know if he could definitely go to the human world from there. If not, Lin Yi would still have to kill him when he came back.

In other words, he had no other way to help Lin Yi.

In the past, he still had a chance within the territory of the Yama Palace, but now, the Yama Palace and King Chujiang have completed the switch of defense, and this switch has displeased King Qin Guang, who, on the grounds that the Gate of Hell is currently the most important position, has joined King Chujiang in defending it.

In other words, nowadays, not only are there two Yama Kings, but also two Ghost Emperors who are watching over the Gates of Hell.

Because they happened to belong to the camps of the Goddess of Mount Tai and the Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha, they were at odds with each other at the Gates of Hell, fearing that the other might cause trouble.

At this time, the Gates of Hell was too dangerous, and everyone thought Lin Yi would go there. Unexpectedly, Lin Yi came to the Abyss of Exile.

At this moment, the Ghost King was filled with dread.

Lin Yi was clearly a member of the Goddess of Mount Tai's faction before, so why is the Goddess of Mount Tai now angrily issuing a warrant for his arrest?

Thinking about it carefully, did the Goddess of Mount Tai really want to arrest him?

Lin Yi is indeed powerful, but the Goddess of Mount Tai, who rules over half of the underworld, possesses supernatural powers that are unimaginable to lower-ranking gods.

How did Lin Yi manage to escape from the clutches of the Goddess of Mount Tai?

Unless, this was all a self-directed and self-acted performance from the very beginning.

Lin Yi must have had someone protecting him to get here through all the blockades.

Otherwise, why would he choose to come here instead of going to the gates of hell?

Clearly, Lin Yi already knew about the change of guard at the Gates of Hell!

The Ghost King had a flash of inspiration, and his thoughts wandered far away.

He quickly deduced that the Goddess of Mount Tai might be planning something big, but couldn't reveal it directly, so she used this method to mislead everyone, or perhaps to distance herself from the situation beforehand.

So, what was the deeper meaning behind Lin Yi's visit to him?

It's unlikely that Lin Yi would come looking for him for no reason.

Thinking of this, a wise light flashed in the Ghost King's eyes.

Lin Yi was definitely there to recruit him, which represented not only himself but also the Goddess of Mount Tai.

"I understand."

The Ghost King didn't want to take sides, but given the circumstances, he had to make a choice.

Seeing that he was sensible, Lin Yi asked, "What are you planning to do?"

Is this a pledge of allegiance?

The Ghost King pondered that he must do something first to gain Lin Yi's trust before he would allow Lin Yi to take him away.

His situation was actually very dangerous. Since Lin Yi was now face to face with him, if he showed even the slightest sign of disloyalty, he would definitely be swiftly eliminated.

That being the case...

"I have a way to help you kill all the Yin Generals here silently."

As the saying goes, fortune favors the bold, and the Ghost King decided to take a gamble.

The Goddess of Mount Tai has been making a lot of moves lately; she must be plotting something. If I could join the Goddess of Mount Tai's team, I'm sure I could also achieve great things.
