I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

Lin Yi certainly couldn't stand by and watch his disciple be shot to death. Although he didn't want to get too involved in the wars among humans, human nature is ultimately driven by self-interest.

Moreover, she didn't understand why the two sides had suddenly started fighting like this.

Since that's the case, then all of you, stop!

A torrential downpour suddenly descended from the sky.

The sky was originally clear and blue, but the sudden appearance of dark clouds clearly indicated that this rain was not coming at all.

Who dares to use magic to disrupt the battle between the two armies?

Jiang Linglong realized something was wrong and looked in the direction where Lin Yi was.

Lin Yi didn't try to hide it, so it's normal that she could see it.

Under the heavy rain, the fire in the fire dragon formation was extinguished in no time.

Lin Yi was using immortal techniques, and even though Jiang Linglong's raging fire was extraordinary, it was still no match for Lin Yi due to the suppression of power level.

"Fire arrows!"

Jiang Linglong was naturally unwilling to give up so easily. Even if someone intervened, she was determined to win this battle.

"The wind is coming!"

The gale swept through the dark clouds, scattering the falling moisture into mist. The volley of arrows was ultimately swept away by the gale, and the thick fog completely separated the two sides in battle.

Xiao Yue knew that someone had secretly helped her, but she felt somewhat ashamed.

The battle is not completely over yet. Although she has shown signs of defeat, there is still a possibility of a comeback.

But with the help of this external force, even if you win, it will seem like an unfair victory.

She admired Jiang Linglong's ability to command troops and deploy them, and naturally felt guilty for winning this unfair battle.

However, the battlefield is not a place to judge morality. In order for her subordinates to survive and for those who followed her to survive, Xiao Yue decisively chose to retreat.

Not choosing to attack when the opportunity presented itself was already the greatest act of mercy she could show.

Seeing that the wind and rain had not harmed her soldiers despite their severity, and realizing the intentions of the person behind Xiao Yue, Jiang Linglong had no choice but to sound the retreat.

Looking at the woman standing in mid-air from afar, she naturally recognized her as the one who had protected Xiao Yue back then.

I never expected that she would interfere in the war.

In this decisive battle, she could have won a great victory, but because of this person's interference, the battle ended in a draw.

If that were all, it wouldn't be so bad. She'd lost one chance to win, but she could try again.

But if this woman intervenes every time, she probably wouldn't dare say she can win every time.

If this happens too often, morale will collapse.

If we want to continue fighting, this woman has to be dealt with.

However, the opponent's magical arts are powerful, so he must be a powerful deity. I don't know where such a person came from in the mortal world. In short, with her current abilities, she is not capable of defeating him.

Or tell Yan Qingqiu and ask her what she thinks.

On the other side, Lin Yi watched Xiao Yue retreat back to camp before returning to his own tent.

Unlike her soldiers' joy at surviving the ordeal, Xiao Yue felt aggrieved and sad. She had a surge of anger that she wanted to unleash, but she didn't know where to vent it.

Seeing Lin Yi walk in, she was also a little angry, blaming him in her heart for lacking martial ethics and interfering in the war.

But considering that she had saved her own subordinates, she couldn't say anything and could only sulk in silence.

"If you're unhappy, just say it out loud. Keeping it bottled up for too long can breed inner demons."

Lin Yi pointed it out directly, allowing her to speak freely.

Xiao Yue ignored him and, still holding her breath, said, "An incompetent general can cause the death of an entire army; there's nothing more to say. If I can win, you don't need to use your magic to help me."

She still took all the blame upon herself, and her unhappiness was mainly directed at herself.

Lin Yi said calmly, "Since you won't tell me, then I will. I've been focusing on my cultivation these past few days, and I don't know what has happened. Why are you allies now fighting each other?"

He's only been gone for a little over two months, how did things turn out like this?

"This is a long story, but it is true that the Southern Liang has gone too far."

"How exactly are you going too far?"

Lin Yi didn't know what had happened to cause the two sides to turn against each other so quickly, and why they had to fight each other again after only two months, when they hadn't even had time to stabilize their territories.

No war can last forever.

Every war is a war of attrition. This is not modern society, where you can make a fortune from war.

In an era of extremely low productivity, war places an enormous burden on a nation.

Both sides clearly gained a lot and needed time to digest their gains, yet they insisted on fighting to the death.

Lin Yi didn't understand.

But even though Xiao Yue said that Nanliang was going too far, Lin Yi still believed her.

I just want to know how they bullied people.

Speaking of this, Xiao Yue was also furious.

"Shortly after the Northern Wei was destroyed, our envoy Gu Tinglan, who was sent to Jiankang, was executed by the Southern Liang emperor on the grounds of molesting the imperial concubine."

Gu Tinglan is a woman, how could she molest an imperial concubine!

They have so many other crimes to accuse, yet they choose this one out of all – how arrogant and presumptuous!

Xiao Yue gritted her teeth in anger when she brought up the matter.

After this incident, she was both angry and ashamed to face Lu Yuanhua.

Gu Tinglan was Lu Yuanhua's most valued disciple, whom he regarded as his successor.

When she recommended Gu Tinglan to go on the mission, Lu Yuanhua was reluctant, but he still let Gu Tinglan go out of respect for her.

Who cared that Tinglan would never return? Lu Yuanhua's hair had turned several shades white.

If she doesn't avenge Lu Yuanhua, wouldn't that discourage her subordinates?

Even though Lu Yuanhua tried his best to dissuade her from sending troops, Xiao Yue still chose to divide her forces and head south without hesitation.

The emperor of Southern Liang then dispatched the Ghost-Faced General to intercept them.

The two fought several battles, but Xiao Yue, who was originally invincible, did not get the better of the Ghost-Faced General.

At this time, the emperor of Southern Liang also sent a messenger with a letter from the state.

They allowed Xiao Yue to enter the palace as a concubine, and from then on, the two families became as close as one.

Now, Xiao Yue has no one left to dissuade her from negotiating peace.

Putting everything else aside, Xiao Yue's current strength is enough to make her a regional ruler. Although she is a woman, she deserves respect.

Regardless of whether she agrees to marry him or not, even if she does, she should be given the position of Empress.

This emperor of Southern Liang is clearly here to bully people.

This series of actions pushed Xiao Yue's side to their limits, leading to a decisive battle that finally broke out today.

Lin Yi's expression turned somewhat strange after hearing this.

He sent Lan Yu and Jueying to escort Gu Tinglan. How could Gu Tinglan have died?

The Demon-Slaying Manual shows that both Lan Yu and Jueying are alive and well.

As for marrying Xiao Yue as a concubine, that would be even more troublesome.

Surely Xiao Se hasn't developed some strange hobby, has he?

From Xiao Yue's words, Lin Yi vaguely sensed that Yan Qingqiu was probably up to something.

Xiao Se is unlikely to pull off so many outrageous moves.

Maybe she's been sidelined now?

Originally, he thought that the three families who were attacking Wei would have a brief period of peace.

Theoretically speaking, before the gods and immortals descended to the mortal realm, they had no reason to start a war.

Yan Qingqiu clearly wanted to start a war on purpose. He even thought that Gu Tinglan was not dead, but just trapped.

He can verify this later when he goes to Jiankang.

“If what you say is true, then they are indeed going too far, but didn’t your master teach you the principle of adapting to changing circumstances?”

The other side is using these tactics to throw you off balance. Why are you acting so impulsively and letting them lead you by the nose?

Lin Yi was also disappointed in his son and scolded him again: "With the people's hearts in the Northern Territory, as long as you fight steadily and recuperate, you will be able to win every battle. Why do you want to use an exhausted army to seek revenge?"

Ultimately, you've been blinded by your string of victories, believing yourself to be invincible and invincible. Have you learned your lesson today?

Xiao Yue remained silent, carefully considering Lin Yi's words. She then realized that from the very beginning, the other party had been setting a trap.

"Senior is right, I was rash."

Lin Yi patted her shoulder and sighed, "It's good to be loyal and righteous, but many times you can't act solely on feelings. If there's something you absolutely have to do, you should consider using the right methods instead of leading a group of people to their deaths."

"Thank you for your guidance, senior. But how can I avenge Elder Lu?"

"One word: Endure."

Lin Yi was still unclear about Yan Qingqiu's motives, and he planned to ask him later.

Before that, it would be better for Xiao Yue to remain inactive.

"To achieve great things, one must be patient and tolerant."

Xiao Yue understood.

Because she was incompetent, she could only endure it.

"You're right, senior. I... will be patient."

She admitted that she was no match for Jiang Linglong, so she could only endure it, but she would not endure it forever!

"Since you have this ambition, I will teach you a method of combined military formation attacks..."

Lin Yi raised his hand and placed it on Xiao Yue's brow. Teaching her little by little was too troublesome, so he could only use the empowerment method to forcibly instill his own insights into Xiao Yue's mind.
