I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

Rational people know that Lin Yi is capable and therefore highly regarded, but rational people are few and far between, while envious people are never in short supply.

With the help of some people, a wave of condemnation against Lin Yi secretly swept through the Jingye Division.

This trend is still brewing, and it's unknown when it will turn into a storm.

As Xiao Se listened to the chatter, he couldn't help but feel angry, and even the cat in his arms meowed as he was petted.

Wu Yun felt wronged, but dared not say it. He only heard Xiao Se say, "A bunch of ignorant fools. I don't know why Lin Yi cares about them."

"Your Highness, please calm down. How about I go and teach those gossipy people a lesson?"

Wu Yun would rather go out and fight than be hugged and petted by Xiao Se.

"No need. Your task today is to catch the ghost. If you can't find the ghost, you'll eat cat meat tomorrow."

"No, cat meat doesn't taste good!"

The dark cloud began to regret its decision. How could it have followed such a master? With a new person, it was treated like a cat or dog. It used to be the closest friend to the prince, but now, for the sake of a man, it was being threatened like this!

"Then you'd better work hard tonight. If you let a ghost go, you'll be a dead cat tomorrow."

Xiao Se's lips curled up slightly, like a devil's smile.

The cat looked terrified.

The dark cloud wasn't afraid of being killed; it knew Xiao Se was just trying to scare it. But the worst part was that Xiao Se laughed again...

"Are you ready?"

A man's voice suddenly rang out, and Wuyun was shocked again. It didn't even know where Lin Yi had come from. As one of Xiao Se's bodyguards, this was a serious dereliction of duty.

Its fur immediately bristled; it sensed immense danger from this man.

Xiao Se gently stroked its fur, soothing it as he replied, "Ready, ready to move at any time."

"Alright, let's have a good fight tonight."

As he spoke, Lin Yi handed Xiao Se a handful of talisman papers, which he had painstakingly drawn that morning, having slept for the entire afternoon to complete them.

Now that dusk has fallen, it is the time of transition between yin and yang, and at this time, ghosts can begin to move.

"You're a talisman master?"

"No, these are just some random scribbles, the lowest grade of talismans. They're barely usable, but you can keep them for protection!"

"Ah."

Xiao Se didn't really think much of these high-grade talismans; any random item she had was worth more than these talismans.

But she accepted Lin Yi's kind offer.

"Dark Clouds, begin searching for traces of the ghost."

"Meow!"

In front of people, Wuyun pretended not to speak human language, and its meow was quite cute. Lin Yi watched it with interest and wanted to pet it.

Soon, the dark cloud reacted, meowing in the direction of the east of the city before jumping onto Xiao Se's shoulder.

With Lin Yi around, it won't leave Xiao Se today.

"East."

"Walk."

Lin Yi leaped up and landed on the wall, with Xiao Se following closely behind. The two of them jumping around on the wall so ostentatiously attracted a lot of attention, but since they were both wearing the official uniforms of the Jingye Division, no one questioned them.

Outside an abandoned well in the east of the city, a female ghost was crawling out and crawling toward a little boy who had fallen to the side with a terrified expression. She had a ferocious smile on her face. You should know that after the ancient well was abandoned, fewer and fewer people came. She was a bound spirit and had not eaten blood food for a long time.

"I want to be full tonight..."

"Boom!"

A bolt of lightning struck from afar, and the female ghost, who had only crawled out halfway and hadn't even finished her lines, was instantly obliterated by the lightning.

This is indeed the lowest-level lightning talisman, but Lin Yi is using a Heaven-level talisman.

"next."

"Meow!"

Guided by the cat navigation, before night had completely fallen, several thunderous sounds rang out in Xingsha City.

The thunder without rain was a strange sight that amazed the townspeople, who quickly closed their doors and windows and dared not go out.

"He's getting anxious, he's getting anxious."

Hidden in the shadows, You Tong watched Lin Yi rushing around the city and suddenly felt that Wu De was truly a brilliant strategist.

With just one move, Lin Yi found himself surrounded by enemies. This was only the beginning. Once the real killing move was unleashed, Lin Yi would surely be doomed.

When the fighting between various factions comes to a head, his opportunity to perform a blood sacrifice will naturally arise.

Tonight, their prey is not ordinary civilians, but local gentry and wealthy families.

When such families also experience declines, the prefect has no choice but to give everyone an explanation. At this point, if they spread rumors that Lin Yi's wife is a ghost king who kills people everywhere, what will Lin Yi do?

Unless his wife is truly not the Ghost King and is unafraid of being investigated, he is doomed to die.

Even if he argued that the person wasn't killed by his ghost king, no one would believe him anymore.

At this point, what good would it do for him to kill more ghosts? He would only be seen as someone who was trying to cover up his guilt.

"Tomorrow will be your death day."

You Tong whispered something, and Lin Yi, who was running, suddenly slammed on the brakes and stopped in his tracks. Xiao Se, who was following behind, didn't react in time and crashed head-on into him, sending the cat flying.

"what happened?"

Xiao Se didn't blame Lin Yi, knowing that something must have happened for him to stop so abruptly. Sure enough, Lin Yi smiled and said, "I've caught a ghost."

Lin Yi headed straight for You Tong's location. You Tong was shocked. The two were hundreds of feet apart. How did Lin Yi find him?

He dared not take any chances; it was clear that Lin Yi was after him.

Without hesitation, You Tong used his movement technique to escape.

As soon as he ran, Lin Yi locked onto him.

Lin Yi's ears are so sharp that he can distinguish extremely subtle sounds; he can even detect the sound of a mosquito flying 800 meters away.

However, this extreme hearing also has its drawbacks; being able to hear even the faintest sounds can put a greater strain on his ears.

They were too busy chasing the enemy to care about anything else.

Lin Yi used his sense of smell to assist him in determining the direction by hearing.

Once you remember the other person's scent, there's no way they can escape.

In just a few breaths, Lin Yi approached You Tong. Seeing him rush away, Lin Yi immediately unleashed the Qi Sword Technique: Rainbow Piercing the Sun.

This is a fire-based sword technique, characterized by its high destructive power and extremely fast speed. A crimson beam of energy shot out from the tip of Lin Yi's sword, like a rainbow shooting towards You Tong.

You Tong felt a chill run down his spine; upon seeing the sword energy, he almost exclaimed "Holy crap!"

Is this the kind of sword energy a ninth-grade Qi cultivator could unleash?

This is so serious, it could kill someone on the spot!

"Pupil Technique: Illusionary Glass Body!"

The blue light flashed in You Tong's eyes, leaving behind a phantom figure before the real body quickly fled into the distance.

The crimson sword energy shattered the illusion, leaving a charred sword mark on the ground.

You Tong felt a little relieved, but only for a moment before that suffocating sense of crisis returned.

Turning my head, I saw that the kid had actually unleashed another long rainbow.

This thing can fire in rapid succession?

Chapter 96: You're the one who led people here?

Qi sword technique is actually not difficult, at least not difficult for Lin Yi to understand.

True energy is like a bullet; after rapidly circulating and accelerating within the body, it resonates with the sword through the meridians and is launched with a whoosh.

Is this difficult?

Moreover, Lin Yi had already circulated the energy multiple times within his body and was very skilled at it, so he could fire one shot after another.

He could even fire two more shots.

Lin Yi was still somewhat dissatisfied with this. Even with his full true energy, he could only unleash four qi sword techniques, and his fear of insufficient firepower had already kicked in.

Fortunately, he still has basic attacks.

It takes a lot of energy for You Tong to use his pupil technique once. This time, he could only roll awkwardly to dodge. In this brief moment, Lin Yi came to his side and cut his sleeve with his sword.

"It's you! Long time no see."

After Lin Yi slashed You Tong, he sheathed his sword and stood aside. You Tong looked at Lin Yi in disbelief and said with surprise and doubt, "Your cultivation has improved so rapidly in just a few days!"

No wonder Hades took a liking to Lin Yi; this kid certainly has something special about him.

However, he was still too young. Those two sword techniques had probably exhausted all his true energy, but they had not caused any effective damage.

If it really came down to a fight to the death, You Tong didn't think he would lose.

He ran away simply to avoid fighting against the people behind Lin Yi.

"Stop talking nonsense, surrender, or die."

Lin Yi's words made You Tong burst into laughter.

Back then, when he stopped Lin Yi and Guan Buping by the river, Lin Yi was still afraid of him. Now, Lin Yi is alone, and he has changed his sword, so he is so arrogant.

"Your sword is good, but it hasn't recognized you as its master yet. I'm afraid it doesn't want to be driven by you. Where does your confidence come from?"

"Whether the sword listens or not is unimportant, as long as it can kill you."

Having said that, Lin Yi drew his sword and stood up. Although Pillow Snow had not yet acknowledged Lin Yi as its master, Lin Yi could still force it to be used, since it would only be a little heavier anyway.

You Tong also drew her sword to counterattack. The two exchanged blows for dozens of rounds, but You Tong found that she could not win. Lin Yi's swordsmanship was profound, and if they continued to fight, they would probably attract pursuers.

You Tong had no choice but to unleash her inner energy to temporarily force Lin Yi's sword away, before she gracefully departed.
