I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

"Thanks a lot."

Lin Yi pulled Xiao Yue into his arms, as a reward for her hard work in taking responsibility.

Xiao Yue chuckled foolishly, letting Lin Yi hug her, and she also wrapped her arms around Lin Yi's waist.

Under the radiant sunlight, she felt that this moment had become eternity.

However, when Lin Yi released her, she still asked greedily, "Master, can I kiss you again?"

Before Lin Yi could agree, she prepared to launch a sneak attack.

Lin Yi grabbed her and pinned her down.

Did she really think she could launch a sneak attack with her meager skills?

That's because I won't fight you!

"You only know how to kiss on the cheek? I'll have to teach you."

Xiao Yue's naive behavior was nothing more than showing off her limited skills in front of Lin Yi.

If he hadn't been so restrained, how could a mere little girl have gotten the chance to act so arrogantly!

Xiao Yue was kissed by Lin Yi and realized that this was what kissing between adults was like.

This intimate contact was even more heart-pounding than she had imagined; she felt dizzy and as if she couldn't breathe.

When Lin Yi released her, her eyes were already glazed over.

"If you dare to offend your master again, don't blame me for being impolite!"

After Lin Yi finished speaking, he drifted away, leaving Xiao Yue silently covering her face in embarrassment and giggling foolishly.

Lin Yi's threats were of course ineffective; he would dare to do it again next time.

After leaving Xiao Yue's side, Lin Yi did not go far. He simply hid in the shadows to avoid being too intimate with Xiao Yue in front of others, which would make it difficult for her to win over the crowd.

A leader still needs to have authority, but in front of him, Xiao Yue had no authority whatsoever.

The master has really gone to great lengths to help.

He found a secluded spot to sit down and began to use his Heavenly Eye.

Now that he has used his Heavenly Eye, he truly feels as if he has transformed into the heavens and is looking down upon the earth.

The scope of Tianmu has expanded to an exaggerated degree; it can be said that the entire world is under his control.

He was searching for the Candle-Bearing Dragon, and the Demon-Slaying Manual had already pinpointed her location.

It lies dormant beneath the waters of the Yangtze River.

It quickly sensed Lin Yi's gaze as it fell upon it.

The feeling of being spied on was too obvious. The other party was clearly trying to startle it, so it quickly woke up, looked up at the sky, and seemed to be facing a formidable enemy.

This seems to be a force that it cannot defeat. Could it be that the celestial realm has descended ahead of schedule?

"It's been a long time, senior."

Only after Lin Yi spoke did the giant snake feel relieved.

Thankfully, they were friendly forces.

"Congratulations, you've become stronger."

The giant snake didn't know where Lin Yi was, but it was probably very far away. Being able to transmit its voice to her from a distance was quite an achievement.

"I came to see you to tell you this good news."

As Lin Yi spoke, he added, "Of course, I also have some bad news for you."

The dragon holding the candle tilted its head and asked, "What bad news? Has the Immortal Realm descended ahead of schedule?"

No, not at all.

"I can rest assured that."

The guardians haven't grown up yet, and her plans aren't complete. If the celestial realm were to descend now, she would truly be in trouble.

"However, I suspect that the Celestial Realm may send a Heavenly Emperor down to the mortal realm this time."

Orochi: "..."

Are you really here to tell me bad news?

Chapter 571 The Seven Fairies

Upon hearing the message from Lin Yi, the giant snake went completely numb.

With Xiaocao's strength, she could at most deal with an ordinary god. But with the backup plan she left behind, if she wins the gamble, no god below the Heavenly Emperor can escape her.

Then Lin Yi came over and told her that the Heavenly Emperor was leading the team this time...

It's been sent; time to set up shop.

"If I had not lost my power, I would still have the strength to fight against the Heavenly Emperor, but now I am helpless."

The giant snake sighed helplessly; she really couldn't think of a way to win.

Lin Yi's strength has increased, but the enemy is also getting stronger, and she can't think of any solutions.

The guardian of destiny from the previous two generations is probably the last hope.

That defeat meant a complete defeat for humanity.

Lin Yi's mindset was completely different from that of the giant snake. He came to see if the giant snake had anything to add, hoping to gain as much power as possible so that he could have a better chance of winning.

Unexpectedly, he discovered that the giant serpent also had a glorious past.

Lin Yi asked, "Since you have lost your power and are therefore unable to oppose the Heavenly Emperor, if I help you regain your power, can you restore your former strength?"

The giant serpent shook its head and said, "You are delusional. My authority is enough to rival that of the Heavenly Emperor. Those who possess authority are no less powerful than the Heavenly Emperor. If you had such strength, you wouldn't need to help me take it back."

"What authority do you hold that makes you so powerful?"

Lin Yi was very curious. Just one authority could grant her the strength of a Heavenly Emperor. Naturally, Lin Yi was curious about these high-level authorities.

After all, he'll be robbing things in the future anyway.

At this point, the giant snake had nothing left to hide.

She said with a touch of nostalgia, "In the past, my honorable name was the Candle-Bearing Dragon. When I opened my eyes, it was dawn; when I closed my eyes, it was the darkest night. When I breathed, it was clouds and rain; when I cried out, it was thunder."

And do you know what this so-called candle is?

"That sun in the sky?"

Orochi: "..."

I guessed it right away, so what sense of accomplishment does she have?

The giant snake paused slightly, its emotions seemingly disjointed.

"Back then, it was the supreme being of the Immortal Realm who took the power from my hands and bestowed it upon the fairy Xihe."

Xihe, the fairy maiden, was one of the seven fairies and controlled the sun. Without the intervention of that supreme being, victory would have been impossible.

"I roughly understand."

According to the information he obtained from the Goddess of Mount Tai, the Seven Fairies should be the lowest-ranking among the T1 level immortals and gods.

But with this power over the sun, the fairy Xihe suddenly gained strength approaching that of the first rank.

The rankings haven't changed, but the strength is completely different now.

Therefore, judging an opponent's strength based on their ranking is not necessarily a good idea.

When Lin Yi heard the giant snake mention the Seven Fairy Maidens, he asked, "Who are the Seven Fairy Maidens?"

Orochi knew this was the final exchange of information, and there was no need to hide it any longer.

Although she lost most of her power, she still retained some of it.

The characteristic of the Candle-Bearing Dragon is that even without the candle, she remains a dragon.

When the candle went out, she seized secret power.

If she doesn't reveal her presence, even the immortal realm won't be able to find her.

Therefore, even the gods of the celestial realm could not hear her words in the areas covered by her supernatural powers.

"The seven fairies are Jiutian Xuannv, Xihe, Wangshu, Bixia, Baihua, Linglin, and Lingyi. Now only five fairies remain, as two of them have already perished."

Lin Yi: "..."

He thought he heard two familiar names just now, but he didn't know if it was a coincidence.

"The two fallen fairies you mentioned, are they...?"

"It is Linglin and Lingyi. Lingyi controls the power of water and storms, while Linglin controls the great path of water, which is associated with blessings and life."

The highest good is like water. Even the water god cannot control all the great principles of water. He only controls the strongest great principle of water, while the great principles related to water are controlled by other gods.

The Water God controls pure water, while the other gods control water that is combined with other great principles.

Neither of them is superior or inferior; both are within the water system.

If Lin Yi were to completely eliminate this category, he might be able to obtain all of the Great Dao of Water.

However, he's not in the mood to think about that right now.

He wondered if the name was a coincidence.

The giant snake continued its explanation, saying, "Actually, you don't need to worry too much about the fairies. The only one you need to be concerned about is the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden."

Why do you say that?

"Because she is the God of War, she has strong combat abilities and is also good at troop deployment. She is unparalleled in wisdom. She is also the leader of the Seven Fairies. She played a crucial role in two key battles."

The giant serpent sighed inwardly and said, "In the battle of immortals falling, King Zhou had a chance to win, but he still lost to her."

Lin Yi nodded secretly. The Immortal Realm would definitely send at least one Heavenly Emperor, but it might not only send one.

Since the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady is also among the Seven Fairy Maidens, she can be considered a deity in the same tier as the Heavenly Emperor.

If two such deities were to appear, it would indeed be quite difficult to resist them.
