I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

Xiao Se walked to a dark corner on his own. The black cat quietly followed him, and Xiao Se said in a deep voice, "What happened that made you show yourself to me?"

Wu Yun then recounted what he had overheard at the prefect's mansion, and suggested, "Now that they have discovered your identity, shouldn't we leave? I heard there was a major battle here recently. If that's true, even the Grand Elder might not be able to protect the young master!"

"What's the panic? If it were a real battle between first-rank officials, would Star Sand City still be intact? Don't worry, even if they know my identity, they'll just pretend to be confused and won't dare to face me!"

"But what if the news leaks out and someone tries to harm the Crown Prince?"

"Ha, I'm always being targeted wherever I am. If someone wants to kill me, let them come."

Wu Yun had never seen the prince so sharp-tongued, and immediately dared not try to persuade him any further. After a moment of silence, she asked weakly, "Prince... are you very happy here and don't want to go back?"

Chapter 91 Lin Yi Must Die

"Where did that cat come from, meowing so pitifully? It makes you want to cry!"

In the quiet little attic, You Tong listened to the sudden meow of a cat, her deep pupils flashing with curiosity.

Wu De, sitting opposite him, noticed this detail and couldn't help but ponder it to himself. Legend has it that the four great ghosts each possess supernatural powers. The ghost with the pupils is naturally skilled in pupil techniques, which originated from cats.

Even now, some practitioners of eye techniques still need the assistance of cats.

Now, You Tong reacts to the sound of a cat meowing, which seems to confirm this.

He secretly noted this down and said calmly, "Fellow Daoist You Tong is truly compassionate. You can even bear to see cats and dogs being harmed."

You Tong chuckled and said, "Brother Wu, you flatter me. May I ask why you summoned me today? You should know that our plan has been leaked, and now the whole city is under search, making it difficult to enter or leave. I cannot act recklessly either."

Wu De immediately understood: the exposure of the Pure Heaven Sect's blood sacrifice plan had made him doubt himself.

Besides the four Netherworld Demons and a certain Hades who was in charge of this operation, the only other person who knew about the blood sacrifice plan was him, an outsider, so it was only natural that he was suspected.

However, the situation of the Pure Heaven Sect did not get worse, and You Tong had no evidence, which is why she did not say it outright.

Wu De, being astute, said in a deep voice, "Since missing the last opportunity, Wang An has become more vigilant. He even spared no expense to invite the master of Lushan Mountain. As far as I know, there is also a fourth-rank, fifth-level master hidden in Xingsha City. In addition, Lushan Temple, Chongxu Temple, Danxia Temple, Fuhu Temple, and Bu Suanzi have all sent disciples to infiltrate the Jingye Division."

Moreover, there was also a man surnamed Xiao among them, the son of some prince, whose identity was unknown. In any case, given the current situation, Xingsha City was no longer so easily threatened.

Are you complaining that I didn't seize the opportunity last time?

You Tong snorted coldly, feeling quite displeased.

The previous plan was also proposed by Wu De. He used Wang Liang, the son of the prefect, as a breakthrough point and offered a reward on the black market. The reward amount was not too high. With the additional conditions, if someone investigated later, they would mistakenly think that Wang Liang had harmed some good family and was being retaliated against.

If Wang Liang dies, Wang An will surely be furious. He will not only mobilize a large number of county troops, but the Wang family's private army will probably also come out in full force.

If the case of Tiger Granny leads away the main members of the Jingye Division, Xingsha City will be in chaos. The people of the Jingtian Sect are ready to kill and set fires everywhere. At that time, the four Netherworld Demons will secretly launch a blood sacrifice.

Even if the Pure Heaven Sect wants to perform a blood sacrifice, it doesn't need to kill everyone in Star Sand City. That would be too extreme. In fact, killing only a portion of the people would be enough.

Unexpectedly, Wang Liang was not killed by the assassin, but was instead kidnapped. Although this prompted Wang An to mobilize some of the county soldiers, it also made him more vigilant.

With the unexpected appearance of a Ghost King, You Tong had no choice but to abandon his plan to avoid exposing his true target.

Unexpectedly, not long after, the Xingsha branch was completely eradicated, and then news of a blood sacrifice spread.

Although he secretly amplified the news, trying to make people think it was a rumor, after all, the idea of ​​massacring Xingsha was outrageous, who would have thought that these people would actually believe it? Although Xingsha City was not completely sealed off, the entrances and exits were strictly guarded.

Leaving wouldn't have been difficult for him, but after consulting with Hades, he was given the task of continuing the plan.

The three Underworld Kings of the Pure Heaven Sect are named according to their authority: Knowing Words, Knowing Actions, and Knowing Stops.

The three Hades are ranked equally and control all actions of the Pure Heaven Sect, but none of them may overstep the other's authority.

The Underworld King of Words is only responsible for issuing tasks. Once a task is approved, the Underworld King of Actions will select someone to carry it out. The Underworld King of Stopping has the right to terminate or not terminate any task.

According to common sense, this blood sacrifice mission should have been terminated, but the Underworld King of Zhizhi wouldn't allow it to stop. Even if You Tong and the others died in the Star Sand, they still had to complete the mission within the deadline.

Knowing that she was most likely going to die, You Tong was depressed and naturally became less polite to Wu De.

Wu De was not annoyed, but said calmly, "How could I blame you, fellow Daoist? No matter how the plan turns out, there will always be variables. But in the current situation, if you want to continue the blood sacrifice, you will have to find another solution."

"Brother Wu, what can you teach me?"

You Tong looked at Wu De with eager eyes. If Wu De could come up with a solution this time, it would be no less than a life-saving grace.

Seeing his expression, Wu De knew that he had secured his position again.

If you can offer what others desire, you can naturally command them to work for you.

"Take advantage of the situation and use it to your advantage to drive away the tiger and devour the wolf."

Wu De confidently took out a knife and wrote two words on the table: Lin Yi.

"What does this have to do with him?"

“That mysterious Five Qi Master is his master. The third daughter of the prefect’s family has a close relationship with him. He is acting as the chief constable and has clashed with the disciples of the sect. As long as we kill him and frame a few disciples of the sect, we can incite them to fight among themselves and the predicament will be resolved.”

You Tong's eyes lit up when she heard about the plan.

Compared to those formidable figures, Lin Yi is much easier to deal with.

But he quickly added regretfully, "I can't kill this person."

Who came up with the idea of ​​recruiting Lin Yi into the Jingtian Sect is now impossible to verify, given the destruction of the branch altar. Last time, when he tried to take revenge by killing Lin Yi, he was reprimanded by the Underworld King Zhizhi.

Maybe it's Pluto who has taken a liking to Lin Yi.

Although You Tong wished for his death, she dared not disobey her superiors' orders. Now that the crucial step was blocked, she had no choice but to reveal her intentions to Wu De.

He didn't reject the plan, he just couldn't be allowed to kill people.

Wu De was filled with rage.

Why is it so hard to kill someone these days?

It's all Mr. Liu's fault for being so incompetent that he had to find another helper, but unexpectedly, he was pushed back again.

Enraged, Wu De said in a deep voice, "At most, I can have someone entangle Lin Yi's master for a short time, but there is absolutely no way I can spare the time to kill him. Since you cannot do it, I am powerless to help you. Farewell."

"and many more!"

You Tong dared not let go of this last lifeline. Seeing that Wu De was really about to leave, he hardened his heart. He couldn't make a move openly, but he could do it secretly.

Since Lin Yi's life or death is related to his blood sacrifice plan, then Lin Yi must die!

The two then whispered and plotted to kill someone and frame someone else; this required a meticulous plan.

The most effective way to kill a man is still the same one.

Beauty plan!

You Tong said excitedly, "I can send You Mei to bewitch him..."

"Wait a minute, don't use this method."

Wu De got a headache as soon as he heard the word "alluring," and explained, "Lin Yi is a bit strange; he seems to be uninterested in women."

"Oh? Doesn't he already have a wife? Now that he's tasted the pleasures of love, how can he not be interested in women?"

As a member of the Demonic Sect, You Tong certainly understood.

A man who has tasted the forbidden fruit can never abstain from it again, unless he is a eunuch or has reached an extremely high level of spiritual attainment.

You Tong's simple words made Wu De's eyes light up.

"That's right. If he were a normal man, he couldn't possibly resist Xin San Niang's charms. Clearly, he's no match for her!"

"Huh?"

"Since he can't have human relations, how could he have such a beautiful wife? I understand now, his wife is the Ghost King!"

Chapter 92 Control

Wu De had previously suspected that the Ghost King was by Lin Yi's side, and the most likely candidate was Lin Yi's wife, He Dong.

However, on the morning after he survived the tribulation, he saw He Dong bathed in sunlight, waiting for Lin Yi.

Normally, a Ghost King is not afraid of the scorching sun, but a Ghost King who has just undergone the baptism of lightning is in a delicate state and cannot withstand the scorching sun.

So Wu De ruled out He Dong again. Lin Yi's interpersonal relationships were very simple. After eliminating all possibilities, Wu De judged that Lin Yi might have been possessed by the Ghost King.

however……

Lin Yi turned around and ran into the prefectural governor's mansion. The prefectural governor's mansion was a place where the imperial court's fortune was suppressed, and evil spirits and ghosts were driven away. This idea was once again ruled out.

Now that Wu Dezhen couldn't find where the Ghost King had gone, he devised an assassination plot. No matter where the Ghost King was, as long as Lin Yi's life was in danger, the Ghost King, who had recovered a little, would definitely show up.

however……

They failed to lure out the Ghost King, but instead attracted a fourth-rank, fifth-level Qi Grandmaster.

Let's not dwell on how unlucky they were. Anyway, the longer time goes on, the more strength the Ghost King recovers, and the harder it will be for them to seize his cultivation.

He had already taken a gamble by coming to find You Tong, but unexpectedly, there was a pleasant surprise.

He hadn't thought about it that way before, after all, Lin Yi looked strong and sturdy, not like a man with a hidden illness. Now he suddenly realized that if he were a normal man, how could he not be tempted by women?

If he's not normal, what use is a wife to him?

Considering Lin Yi's previous record of not returning home for three months, the answer is obvious.

"Having eliminated all the impossibilities, there is only one truth left."

Wu De's eyes sharpened. The hardest part for a hunter is not the moment of the hunt, but the search for the prey. Once the prey is found, the encirclement and capture becomes a simple matter.

“Fellow Daoist You Tong, at most four days, and the Ghost King will be able to recover his full strength. At that time, Xing Sha County will have another Tribulation Ghost King. We don’t have much time left.”

You Tong also knew how terrifying the Three Tribulations Ghost King was. Even if the Underworld King of the Pure Heaven Sect came in person, he probably wouldn't be able to do anything to a fully recovered Three Tribulations Ghost King. So, this was the last chance.

"Brother Wu, I'll arrange for someone right away."

"No need. We don't necessarily need to take action ourselves to deal with the Ghost King."

"Who else can help us?"

"Of course, it's Wang An, the prefect of Xingsha County."

Upon hearing this, You Tong was stunned and looked at Wu De in surprise, asking, "Brother Wu, who exactly are you to be able to command Wang An to do things for you?"

"Fellow Daoist, you misunderstand. Of course I cannot command Wang An to do things for me, but the will of the people can."

……

At this moment, Lin Yi, who had been tricked, was still leisurely buying groceries, not in a hurry to find those people from the Pure Heaven Sect.
