I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

Lin Yi overestimated the abilities of these immortals. They didn't even dare to kill a human emperor, yet they wanted to destroy the world.

He also overestimated Liu Jian's character.

Those deities said that Liu Jian was destined to be the emperor of the future, a man with great fortune.

Liu Jian believed it immediately.

Believe it or not, the allure of the emperor is too great.

In contrast, the path Lin Yi offered was not so easy to take.

Lin Yi wasn't the type to use morality and righteousness to coerce others into doing things; he did promise many benefits, including the throne.

Xiao Yue and Xiao Se are not interested in being emperors, so it's a good idea to teach Liu Jian. It's not a big deal, as long as he doesn't do anything reckless.

In addition to this, Lin Yi also offered to prolong his life and give him a bunch of treasures to help him increase his cultivation.

This treatment is already considered quite good.

But after listening to the deity's words, Liu Jian chose to stand on the deity's side.

The reason is simple: Lin Yi is hiding his true intentions and is clearly out of favor. It's uncertain whether he can win this battle.

Liu Jian was actually faced with two choices.

Should we fight against the gods alongside Lin Yi, or fight against Lin Yi alongside the gods?

Is there even a need to think about this?

Liu Jian felt that following Lin Yi might not lead to any future.

Lin Yi is going to fight against the Immortal Realm!

If he loses the battle, he will lose the throne he has already secured, and there is also a possibility that his life will be in danger.

After all, the immortals and gods were far more powerful than Lin Yi. Ultimately, he chose what was most advantageous to him.

As for racial righteousness, Liu Jian didn't think it was important.

The victor is king, the loser is villain. As long as you can successfully become emperor, isn't it enough to just offer some incense to the gods?

These are all minor matters!

Lin Yi watched helplessly as he fell into the arms of the immortals and gods. He even entered his dreams twice, trying to persuade him to return to his heart.

Unfortunately, Liu Jian did not turn back.

Lin Yi had no choice but to give up. He simply told the big snake about it and asked it to tell the little grass to be careful.

Even so, Lin Yi didn't have much intention of killing Liu Jian.

For Xiaocao's sake, Liu Jian's life can be spared after this battle, but the emperor should be spared.

An emperor who places too much importance on personal gain and loss while disregarding the interests of the group is unfit to be an emperor.

Now he wants to marry Xiao Yue, he's practically dancing in a minefield, doesn't he know the meaning of death?

Lin Yi gave Xiaocao face and didn't argue with him, but he couldn't keep giving Xiaocao face forever.

He also cares about his reputation.

Xiao Yue was also furious after hearing about Liu Jian's situation, and said angrily, "This man is unjust and disloyal, he should be taught a lesson!"

"Use this as a reason to raise an army, and I will go to war with you!"

"Ok!"

Xiao Yue suddenly felt very at ease. With Lin Yi around, even if Lin Yi didn't take action, she felt that she had been strengthened. That feeling of being invincible was fascinating.

If Lin Yi knew what she was thinking, he would probably want to complain too.

Silly girl, that's a real upgrade!

According to relativity, if the enemy is struck by misfortune or fails to notice a crisis, wouldn't that be equivalent to you becoming stronger?

Having agreed on a strategy for dealing with Liu Jian, Lin Yi shifted his focus back to the main body.

After sitting there for several months, Lin Yi actually felt quite at ease.

He probably has the potential to be a homebody.

Creating a clone is like playing a full-immersion online game; you can play it all the time while lying at home, without having to worry about eating, drinking, or going to the bathroom.

While controlling his clone, his main body was also busy, diligently absorbing the power of the stars every day. Lin Yi didn't care about the part that dissipated, but he poured most of it into his acupoints.

As he felt his body being further strengthened, Lin Yi had a vague feeling in his heart.

When his acupoints are truly filled, like stars, perhaps his physical body will have truly reached a qualitative leap.

By then, perhaps we'll have the strength to fight the Great Celestial Venerable in hand-to-hand combat...

Chapter 587 Xihe's Journey to the Human World (Part 1)

Meanwhile, the Liu Song envoy, having been driven out by Xiao Yue, dared not linger and hurriedly led his delegation back. He also wrote an urgent letter and sent it back with a messenger.

Liu Jian received the letter in just one day.

Seeing that Xiao Yue rejected him and even threatened to send troops, Liu Jian was furious.

Meanwhile, Xihe had already received a secret letter from Lin Yi, instructing her to subtly urge Liu Jian to launch a military campaign against Northern Qi.

Xihe then ordered her men to do it. At this moment, Liu Jian was furious, and someone immediately offered a plan: to send troops out of Hanzhong and launch a surprise attack on the two provinces of Qin and Liang.

In the past few months of back-and-forth, Liu Jian has won more than he has lost, as if he has taken the script of the former Shu Kingdom. Hanzhong and Jingzhou are in Liu Jian's hands, and he has countless strong generals under his command.

Now that he had run into a brick wall with Xiao Yue, Liu Jian was already unhappy, and with the support of his subordinates, he felt even more that he had done the right thing.

This decision certainly had some merit. Liu Jian was the emperor, yet he went to ask a local lord for a wife. Not only did he fail to marry her, but he was also scolded by the lord.

If we don't retaliate, what will become of the emperor's dignity?

How will I be able to manage my subordinates in the future?

Therefore, this battle must be fought!

It's for personal face, and also to uphold the face of the nation.

Why not fight if no one objects?

In this battle, both sides were filled with rage. Xihe sent out her most capable general, Leishen, who was known for his speed and lethality and was extremely powerful.

Thor led a large force to launch a surprise attack on Qinzhou, but since Lin Yi intended to instigate a war between the two sides, he naturally wouldn't let Xiao Yue's subordinates die in vain; he had already taken precautions.

After fighting the enemy, he ordered his men to retreat quickly and withdraw from Qin Prefecture.

Liu Jian was overjoyed to receive the battle report.

He ordered the attack to continue, wanting to show Xiao Yue how formidable he was.

Little did they know, Lin Yi's plan was to exchange land for lives.

Lin Yi lost Qinzhou, but not many of his men died.

In Lin Yi's view, people are the most valuable thing; as for land, if he wants it, he'll give it to him.

Jiang Linglong used the same strategy.

Liu Jian could conquer cities and seize strongholds along the way, but in every battle they fought, some heavenly soldiers and generals would die.

Under the cover of victory, these casualties were insignificant.

Under Xihe's leadership, the immortal faction did not give this issue much thought.

People always die in wars; some sacrifices are normal.

However, Lin Yi did not intend to let Liu Jian continue to have such a smooth journey.

His arrogance is not a good thing either.

Of the nine provinces, Liu Jian now controls four, Xiao Se controls three, and Xiao Yue controls two.

If he continues to expand, he will have occupied more than half of the territory.

At that time, the Heavenly Dao's suppression effect on immortals and gods will become weaker and weaker. Although Lin Yi doesn't really need this buff, on the surface, he still has to make immortals and gods have some reservations.

Therefore, the four provinces were the limit of what Liu Jian could obtain.

After losing Qin Prefecture, Xiao Yue quickly dispatched troops, leading the Red Wolf Army in a counterattack. They engaged in a great battle with Lei Shen's forces on the banks of the Wei River and won a great victory.

Meanwhile, Jiang Linglong led her army to break through Jiangling, attack Jingzhou, and kill the defending Water God.

Fortunately, the Vulcan team came to their rescue, preventing a complete annihilation.

The situation took a sharp turn for the worse, leaving Liu Jian restless and uneasy. He then realized that although Xiao Yue was the weakest of the feudal lords, her personal abilities were truly remarkable!

In a panic, Liu Jian had no choice but to seek help from the gods around him, who in turn could only ask Xihe and Wangshu for assistance.

In the past few months, several gods, both big and small, have died, but this is the first time so many have died at once.

At this time, Xihe also received Lin Yi's latest instructions.

Request support from the upper realm.

Xihe was completely numb.

She had thought that Lin Yi only wanted to secretly eliminate the immortals and gods of the mortal realm without alerting the Great Celestial Venerable. Who would have thought that he would actually try to lure the immortals and gods of the celestial realm down to the mortal realm?

This is...

Xihe was terrified, but she had no choice but to listen to Lin Yi.

She's already on the wrong path, and even if she betrays Lin Yi now, she can't escape unscathed.

She had no choice but to go down this path to the bitter end.

"Go tell Liu Jian not to worry, I will request reinforcements."

Liu Jian was overjoyed to receive Xi He's message.

He wasn't fighting alone; the entire immortal realm was his backing.

He is the chosen one, the true Son of Heaven!

With this encouragement, Liu Jian became much more energetic and no longer panicked. Even though he suffered repeated defeats and his power and territory shrank to three states, he remained calm.

He will get back what he has lost sooner or later.
